【161】
The number of screens he had floating expanded further, displaying in full detail how devastated the Territories were, excluding only the Capital.
“Without direct descendants capable of using area-wide techniques, there’s no way to mount a defense. A clever stratagem indeed. A ceasefire before the Friendly Competition. Then converting prisoners into zombies and utilizing them in this manner… that must be how it unfolded.”
“Essentially, a second war.”
I listened intently to Grandfather and Father’s conversation.
Wondering if rewinding time by just an hour or two might somehow prove useful.
Well, all I can do is rewind time to just before everything unfolds.
It’s up to others to actually stop it.
“I’m counting on you, Jellyfish Creatures.”
At my quiet call, the Jellyfish Creatures swarmed toward me in a flurry.
As if they understood, as if to say everything would be alright.
‘Goodbye. Thank you. And I’m sorry.’
My eyes grew slightly wet, but I turned to face my Jellyfish Creatures with courage. Then, drawing a deep breath, I raised my hand with a bright flourish.
“Father, Grandfather. I have a way.”
Speaking out clearly, even the Emperor paused mid-sentence and turned to look at me.
“I can rewind time. To before all of this happens.”
“…!”
“I’ll go back and tell the adults. So the damage doesn’t grow to this extent at least.”
In truth, this plan has two problems.
‘First, will time actually rewind properly?’
I’ve never attempted to rewind time across the entire Empire.
‘Second, even if I do, will we actually be able to stop it?’
No one may believe me.
They might ask what nonsense I’m speaking.
It was then.
“Indeed… it could work. I’ve been fighting those creatures from the start. I thought it was all part of the game.”
Diolrose, who had been listening, stepped forward and lent her support to my words.
“But if our little rabbit meets with the Laximon Household Master Deputy and informs him… we can surely stop everything. Much as I hate to admit it, the Deputy’s abilities are exceptional.”
Diolrose fixed her gaze upon Rasifer.
It was a look that said, ‘This is the best we can do. You know that, don’t you?’
“But won’t my daughter be put in danger? Using that magnitude of power could leave her bedridden. I cannot permit this.”
Father, naturally, was the one to object.
‘The one who treasures me more than Fasayen, more than this entire world.’
I’m grateful for that heart.
But—
“Father, I am also a princess of Fasayen.”
The proud and dignified bloodline of Fasayen.
“Isn’t that right, Grandfather?”
Only Grandfather can stop Father now.
“…I’m proud of you.”
“Hehe, of course.”
“But when you return, be careful. If they discover you’re trying to prevent this situation, you could be in danger. Only inform the Laximon Household Master Deputy discreetly. Can you do that?”
“Yes!”
I’m going back to the moment I stepped on the landmine.
I stretched both my arms toward the sky with all my might.
At that, my jellyfish creatures soared into the air all at once, and it looked just like cotton candy floating up—truly beautiful.
The jellyfish creatures scattered in all directions. What formed in their place was a colossal hourglass.
It had the shape of one, but inside it appeared to be filled not with sand, but with droplets of water.
“Let’s do it this way. When you return, let the Friendly Competition proceed as planned. Instead, could you send all the Household Masters from outside back to their respective family estates?”
The Emperor, who had been stroking his chin, made a proposal to me.
Since Father and Grandfather both agreed, I firmly committed it to memory.
“I’ll try.”
“To entrust such a grave responsibility to a mere child… But there’s no other way at the moment. If you succeed, I shall grant you a great reward.”
In truth, as long as my family in Fasayen survives, that’s reward enough for me.
Still, I decided not to refuse what he was offering.
“See you again, Father.”
Click, click.
The hourglass flipped before Father could say anything.
Blink.
In the instant I closed and opened my eyes.
“Don’t move your feet, Shu.”
Rasifer gently embraced me and whispered tenderly.
“Or it’ll explode with a bang.”
I’m back!
Radiance scatters through the darkness.
I calmly looked up at Rasifer, then opened my mouth.
“Pel, neutralize this device with magic.”
“Huh? Oh, understood.”
Rasifer’s violet eyes widened slightly in surprise.
The moment the landmine was disarmed, I stepped back, grabbed Rasifer, and whispered in his ear.
“From now on, can you trust everything I say unconditionally?”
“Of course. No matter what you say, I’m on your side.”
“Then I need you to do me a favor.”
I don’t know who the enemy is or where this attack originated. There’s been no investigation into any of it.
So I can only deal with what I know.
“I’ve come from several hours in the future. In a few hours, the Empire will fall.”
Rasifer didn’t laugh.
I’d worried he might think it was a joke, but there was no sign of that whatsoever.
Instead, he examined me carefully.
Surprise gradually spread across Rasifer’s face as those beautiful eyes gazed upon me.
The Eye of Truth.
With it, I came to know that my words were real.
“Would it be alright if I read your memories for a moment? It’ll be faster than explaining everything.”
“Sure.”
“It might be uncomfortable for a bit. If you feel dizzy, tell me and I’ll stop right away.”
Perhaps it was because I’d been so tense.
All the strength drained from my body.
Other than that, I was fine.
My stomach felt a bit queasy… and all sorts of worries flooded in.
‘Even though I’ve come back a few hours, Mother’s shimmering text is gone. I can’t see the lower-tier spirits either.’
The Fate Spirit King certainly called it a test. Perhaps that’s why.
“Damn that Fate bastard, giving me a test?”
Grit.
At that moment, Rasifer, who had been pressing his forehead against mine to read my memories, grew angry.
“I made the choice. The Fate Spirit King gave me three threads.”
“That bastard knew you’d pick the second one. There’s no way he didn’t know you’d do that based on your personality.”
“But the choice was still my own will.”
I looked at Rasifer.
Rasifer looked back at me.
In the darkness, we gazed at each other for a moment, and without words, we understood what had to be done next.
“You’ve done your part now. From here on, what you need to do is stay somewhere safe, Shu. I won’t compromise on this.”
Right, if I were in danger, Father wouldn’t be able to focus either.
Since I had no means to attack or defend myself, I decided not to be reckless and to behave obediently.
“Oh, what’s happening here! Rasifer Laximon and Superti Fasayen are suddenly doing nothing!”
The Announcer’s voice echoed through the arena.
Now that I think about it, what happened to the Announcer where I came from?
‘I hope he survives this time.’
Rasifer cast a magical barrier around the two of us. Then the sound was cut off—it seemed to be a noise-blocking spell.
“Now we can talk freely. Conversations in here won’t be heard outside.”
“Phew, I’m so glad you have the Eye of Truth!”
“Yeah, I think so too. First, I’ll send the Household Masters of each family.”
Rasifer narrowed his brow in concentration.
Light gathered around him.
Watching sparks crackle and pop, I opened my mouth slightly.
It was beautiful.
Mesmerizingly beautiful.
“Done. I sent them all with rough explanations too. To Fasayen, I sent the Household Master and Cecilia Fasayen; to Belarion, the Household Master and Terence Bellarion; to Isthel, I had no choice but to send Blake Isshel; and since they were with what looked like knights, I sent them all.”
Would this be an opportunity for Blake?
I couldn’t know the full situation, so I felt anxious, but all I could do was wait.
Literally, my role ended here.
That was the moment.
Ding!
A cheerful notification sound struck my ears.
