"In the first place, it's just a strange thing to see the future, even if it's limited. I can't help but have a lot of restrictions..."
Celine said smudge, so I'll finally ask.
"Can't you see about yourself, there are other fine restrictions besides?
Sure, that's about what I heard before, but there seems to be something else about how this looks.
Celine thought for a second,
"Well... for example, you can't see the definitive future inside."
"Saying?
"Elaine, I'll take you for an example..."
"Yes."
"I thought you said dark stars were shining in your future until a little while ago.
"Yeah...... is that it?
"But that wasn't the only future for you. There were other futures. Not just one, but many. But the easiest way for you to go was in that dark future."
"Oh, I see. The future is branching out......? You don't know for sure which of them you are, but do you feel like you know what's unlikely?
Indeed, that was often the form of prophecy that Celine was making.
Even the prophecies to the nobles I was present with in the previous days rarely referred to a single future, and there were multiple paths, and it was up to you to choose which of them.
I thought that was based on Celine's conscience that the future could change, but it seems more right that we see multiple futures as an expression of our ability in the first place.
Celine nods at my words and answers.
"You know what? So it's hard to say that this is definitely going to happen. It's just that it's almost certain that it's going to happen."
"... what's that?
"You've talked about it before, haven't you? About God's Statutes, The Destiny of the World…"
"Yeah, you explained it in detail when I heard it in class at school..."
Celine was also a classmate with me.
That would mean that both Cleman and I were.
I remember memories with her at school going too far in my head, in which Celine told me about them.
says Celine.
"You didn't seem to think there was much like that about them..."
"I'm embarrassed. Back then, I thought my life was something I could decide on my own. Celine, as much as I never thought your prophecy was a lie, but even thought I could change as much as I wanted to... I'm sorry."
"Hehe. It's okay, it sounds like you. In fact, even from my point of view, there are many futures. It's up to the person who chooses which one… It's just rare that, among other things, the future doesn't work first. That doesn't make any difference who, what, or whatever behavior you behave... in that you can't change it, in that it seems so... I think that's what I call God's Statutes and the Destiny of the World."
We never talked this far in school.
I think I have something like that, Celine only said so much.
Doesn't mean you didn't trust me, or we weren't close.
Her power is, in fact, still developing, and it is at its height, that time, when I instructed her to destroy every house.
To the best of her knowledge, her power is going to grow stronger for life.
Maybe if I lived like that I could have even predicted myself sooner or later......
If it's her now, it's probably enough, at best, to see a blurry future.
However, even with that much power, there is one thing that I can clearly understand.
Because that's where it doesn't work.
When it is said that it is because it is a point of God's ordained destiny… it seems a credible story because it is actually due to observations based on her abilities.
And that's what I fear most.
Lily kills me.
Suppose that is one of its confirmed points….
I can't wait to think so.
"In my future too... that definitive future, you see?
terrified. To me I asked, Celine shook her neck to the side,
"I can't see. No... this way of saying it may not be accurate. I can't see it now...... I understand that your future is heading in the right direction. But how far ahead it goes... and where it ends. Where is the turning point? It's too far away to see. Sorry......"
I answered that.
Celine apologized, but this didn't sound so bad to me.
It may not be decided yet.
Because there is hope to the extent that it seems so.
Maybe Celine just isn't strong enough yet though.
Just still, I don't think I need to give up right now.
I'm relieved,
"Yes... then, good"
That's what I said.
Celine asks this tilting her neck.
"Elaine...... you just lived to be about fifty and came back about a year ago, but... how could you be so relieved? What the hell happened to you when you lived before? Something that you have to be so afraid of...?
"Well... about that... it's a horrible story. I think you'll hate me, too. Still...... listen?
"Elaine... now there's nothing I don't like about you. No matter what. Besides, the dark stars you were looking at in your future… I can imagine as much as you walked down that path in the past. I knew it wasn't a good future, was it?
"That's right... what the hell, Celine. I ordered my son to kill you."
In the course of the story, I tried to say something hard to say first.
Celine opened her eyes to it on the boulder, but it wasn't anger or sadness emotions she turned to me the next moment, it was pure doubt.
"Did you kill me? Why the hell not?"
There, I just want to know why.
I don't know how it could be like that.
Only that feeling was included... and it did make me understand that it was true that you declared that you wouldn't dislike me this much.
Celine was the one who didn't deny that she was even my best friend until she was killed.
I had predictions, but I also feel terribly grateful.
Just didn't touch it there, I told her one by one what happened last time.
