The wife of the villains, returning to death to change her mind.

"... So, what did you see?

I asked Céline calmly.

Of course, there was some surprise.

I can't believe you regularly look at me using something precious like the power of prophecy... honestly, I even feel like it's a treasure possession.

But when you think about it, there's nothing strange about it.

Because back in the day, Celine prophesied about us.

That's a convincing story if you think it's because you've been doing it from time to time.

I didn't even imagine you were regularly targeting me on boulders, but I guess you saw us at some point in time and realized the danger, so much so.

Celine answers my question.

"Like I said, I saw your future."

"My future...... what future was it? Could it have been something that made you happy?

That can't be, it was a question I was wondering.

A little bit, I think there was a mix of self-derision.

The future of a man who did such a great thing cannot be beautiful.

Think so.

of that... because my future, once seen by Celine, was a dark one.

No, to be exact, were we talking about a divided path...?

It was too old a story, and the memories around it were unexpected and vague.

"... Elaine. Your future was dividing into many possibilities. Some bright and happy futures await dim and harsh results..."

"... yes. I guess so."

I remember.

Once, they did say that.

So convinced.

And I thought again that there was still something called destiny.

In this world there exists a forceful muscular path that I try to change but does not change inside, and everything converges towards it.

I wonder if that's what it is.

What happened between the time and today may have been a waste in the end.

Whatever happens at the end of the day, maybe Lily will kill me.

There was something trembling when I thought so.

Not from safekeeping.

No matter how you live, you'll be the feather of letting your own daughter carry the burden of parent-killing, to the depth of your own business.

But Celine,

"But!"

"... but?

"... but. I looked at you this morning... and it was different."

"... uh?

To me, who couldn't grasp the procedure and tilted her neck, Celine grabbed my shoulder gaggedly as she was excited, staring straight at me with those big eyes and continued.

"The dark stars that were shining on the path you might go, the signs of them... they were getting so thin...!

"Huh?"

"That's why I'm here today. I was wondering what the hell happened. Of course it's a good thing... because I don't know how fate is intertwined. Sometimes this is the result of something bad happening to you... and suddenly I'm worried."

"It was..."

Celine's story was surprising in a different way from the beginning.

A dark star that once she kept warning me, that it exists in my future.

That sign is diminishing......

Of course, I came with that as my goal.

But there's still nothing to respond to.

At best, we've defeated Goblin's army, so much so...

If that's how fate changes, I can screw it over and over again.

But I am well aware that reality is not that sweet.

I ask.

"So my future now... looks relatively good in your eyes?

Celine nodded,

"Yeah. I don't see so much clarity either, you know. But I really have no idea what changed about you... Hey, Elaine. Try to remember. Has anything changed here lately? Maybe that's changing your destiny dramatically."

I don't need to be told.

That my time is back.

It will run out of it.

I was just wondering if I should tell Celine that.

Until now, I have not told anyone about this.

That's because of course I was afraid that telling would change something, but as a matter of fact, I didn't think anyone would believe a story like this.

Instead, it could even be perceived as crazy to see how things changed with me before the time came back.

Given that......

But what about Celine?

Wouldn't she believe my story?

We've known her for a long time and we know each other very well.

At a time like this, she shouldn't think I'd lie either.

Besides, she herself is unbelievable if normal.

It is the power of prophecy that dwells.

Given that...... I felt like she was going to listen to me.

In addition, there was a feeling that it would be more efficient if we talked about the slightest intention.

Whatever, Celine is a rare woman who can see the future, even if she can't say it so clearly.

I am also aware of the possibility that I may go on a strange path.

I mean, from now on, when I do something, as a result, I'll be able to hear what my future will look like.

The point is, can you use her prophecy as some kind of guiding principle?

Of course, this is something I can do without bothering to tell her that I'm back in time, but Celine's prophecy has the characteristic that by its very nature it would be more accurate to interpret it if she had a lot of information.

Given that...... after all, shouldn't I tell her?

Besides, even if she didn't believe it, it was then, and honestly, it was a joke.

You may be a little surprised, but that's all.

Your relationship with her won't go wrong.

That much thought, I made up my mind.

Open your mouth slowly and tell Celine.

"You know... Celine. I'm talking about you... actually, I know what you're talking about."
