■Night One Thirty-Three: The Other Me

"Whatever it takes, you're an unexpected man." Take a breath, and if you do well, you can significantly shortcut the scene. If you leap (skip) at the expected SS engagements along the way and get directly on the throne of Excellios..... "

"That's right, it was just right." Actually, I have something to tell you. "

“What do you want to talk about?”

Behind the scenes (in the backyard), the two of them talked with caution.

Looking through the gap of the stage like a peep window that appeared from time to time, a bee-hopped crowd surged into the royal castle, and a terrible urban battle was unfolding against the SS.

I see, we can also dive into this scene and lead the people.

Of course, the ultimate goal of the Ashleghs is neither the liberation of the people nor the overthrow of the world's Exelios.

Dragging out the real Exelios, who is still looking at the world of possibilities somewhere, and rescuing Zion and Snow from their demons.

Ashlee, just before we started this fight, do you remember when I was late for the operation meeting?

"Oh, yeah. Speaking of which, that happened. What, what? Did something really happen to him?"

"Yes," Zion nodded at Ashlee's question.

There it is.

Cases occur behind the scenes (in the backyard).

Ashlee felt her body suddenly showing tension.

What do you mean?

"No, it's not a big deal. That's why I kept quiet until now. It was just a terribly strange experience."

A strange experience?

"We met." The other one waits for me. "

"To the other you?!" So... what happened? "

"Anyway, nothing in particular happened. I just talked a little bit. That's why I'm late."

For some reason, Zion laughed a little lonely.

From the gap of the stage, perhaps leading to some scene, there are screams and screams, swords and gunshots, powerful talents that tear through the sky, and combat music that unites── them.

"I was surprised by my first experience at all. Until then, I thought── that the entrance door── of the operation conference room was connected to a space like our behind-the-scenes (backyard) prepared for each scene."

In other words, a place like a dressing room where each actor can refrain.

Theon expressed the intersection of the appearance and the dressing room with a hand sign that aligned the fingertips of his right hand on the palm of his left hand.

"The only dressing room on standby is the number of scheduled characters, and each of them is waiting there." If there are two characters who are given the same name, and each has the possibility to participate in one play, there will be no contradiction because the entrance and each dressing room are connected in a hyperdimensional way. It is only a matter of judging this world as a legitimate actor who has come to the scene early. The late side only stays in its own dressing room. That's why I always thought── that no one would make a pot. "

But it wasn't.

Zion made a potato with two fingers and showed it to him.

Ashlee asked.

That was because Ashlee herself hadn't expected it.

"How was it...? I was supposed to be a heroine in this country of recurring turmoil. She: Theon."

"That's right, I was just as surprised by my first incident." And then... you told me. With very tired eyes. She remembers it, just herself. The complete memory of the Night Demon survived even if it was rearranged and reassigned to a new role. He said he'd remember everything behind the scenes (in the backyard). ”

"Everything..."

Ashlee said that, thinking of the pain of Zion in the world, "a country of recurring upheavals."

She fought alongside Ashley Dow many times, saving the world, and each time, she would see herself as the beloved of Exelios.

"He... said that he had tried to kill Exelios, that is, Ashle, in the middle of his conquest."

"Take me. I see."

"But I couldn't." Not only can't we cut through our lost ways, but we can simply say that Exelios is powerful. Ashley Dow, who became Exelios per throne, becomes an incomparably powerful [Spindle Proficient] in all of its routes. He already said he was an immortal demon. "

Immortal Demon

"The only hope is the Holy Sword: Rose Absolute." It seems that Zion, in other words, I have been looking for this world. I don't know if that's the case. "

"If I were Rose Absolute, I would be able to defeat you." No, wait a minute. So how do I beat Exelios every time in this world? "

Theon smiled, "There's no problem with Ashlee's question."

“Half immortal,” I said. We can kill them. Not a true immortal, not yet. "

"No?" exclaimed Ashlee.

I felt that there was a contradiction in the story.

Then why does Theon of this world seek the Holy Sword: Rose Absolute?

"Have you forgotten, Ashlee?" The story unfolding in this world is not about defeating Exelios. How did you fall into the same hole after defeating Exelios? And I was going to be the next Exelios. That's the subject. "

What do you mean?

"In other words, if you really want to end this world, you have to kill Zion (I), who lives with a shared── heart." While behind the scenes (in the backyard), pierce your heart with the Holy Sword: Rose Absolute ”

That way, Ashley Dow will never show up in this world again.

I don't know if that's really possible, but perhaps it's all an exhausted paranoia on her part, Zion continued.

"He said it was our fault. Because we poured the Wish. I wanted him to be like that. That's why he lives in this repeating hell. And then, as our [wish] said, it becomes Excellios."

And he cried, and Zion spoke of himself.

"I wish we hadn't met. I shouldn't have liked it. I wish I didn't love you."

Ashlee lost her words.

The despair that Zion feels in this world is, in turn, the bitterness that the real Zion himself tastes.

The pain is not only in this world.

There are only a few possible worlds of desperate heroes who recreate situations over and over again, and in all of them the same number of despair is experienced by people who have been associated with Theon, Snow, and Ashle.

Once again, Ashlee was distressed to see how much suffering both Theon and Snow, who were prisoners of Exelios, were now enduring.

"So what about her? And you?"

"She said she was too scared to open the door anymore. So I said: We'll do it. I am now with the true Ashleigh Dow. And I laid my hand on the door, and opened it. I looked back once before I stepped into the operation room, and there was no more of her.”

"Did you say something?"

In response to Ashlee's question, Theon shook his head in a small way.

I don't know what to say.

"I'm sorry, it must have been a very uncompassionate story. However, it was... so hard to keep it in my own chest. I only wanted you to remember one of my possibilities, which vanished in the thought of you."

When she regained the real Zion, she disappeared. Ashlee had no choice but to stare with a troubled face as she laughed at the stench of the statute.

I don't remember which one I said I was going to go.

We have no choice but to settle this.

I don't have time to indulge in sentimentality.

But the sentimental side didn't forget Ashleigh.
