Part 2, Chapter 74 (267)
“There!”
I shouted loudly, pointing in a direction, and Rasifer immediately moved toward it.
The ruins, where debris lay piled as though the roof had caved in, were smaller in scale than I’d expected.
‘For that puppy to hide in here… isn’t its frame quite large?’
[The Chaos Spirit King ‘■■■■’ is angered.]
[Our Kero is very small!]
But according to Maximilian, it was supposed to be enormous.
Scratching my cheek, I spotted a tail among the debris that Rasifer had cleared away.
The tail and rear end, completely curled up and trembling pitifully, were… honestly rather adorable.
“It’s small. Can it change its size back and forth?”
“That might be the case, Pel.”
All my tension came to nothing.
Once all the debris was cleared, the creature that emerged was… truly ‘puppy’-sized.
Apart from the fact that it had three heads, there was nothing unusual about it.
“Kyiii…”
All three heads turned to look at me, and they whimpered with drooping eyes.
It seemed to want to come closer and nestle in my arms…
“Kyaaak!”
Pir, who had settled on my shoulder at some point, opened its beak and cried out loudly in anger.
“Are you jealous that someone might take your spot?”
Startled, I quickly stroked Pir’s head. Then Pir spread its wings wide and puffed out its chest with utter pride.
It was as if Pir was saying this was its home and there was no place for anyone else—it was both amusing and endearing.
“Then this is Pir’s home.”
“Kyuu!”
“Yes, yes. The Chaos Spirit King will take this child with him. You don’t need to be wary.”
Cerberus was unfortunately overwhelmed by Pir’s presence.
Unable to do anything, unable to hide, tears glistened in its eyes, and its fur was even singed.
[The Chaos Spirit King ‘■■■■’ laments.]
[Oh my dear Kero! That Phoenix has been tormenting you!]
Well, Maximilian probably had no choice but to do what was necessary to survive…
Though I doubt he heard that.
Having given up, I left the Chaos Spirit King thrashing about and lifted Cerberus into my arms.
Its tail was pressed firmly against its belly, trembling, so I tried to pet it, but I couldn’t figure out which head to start with, so I simply patted its back instead.
“Shu, isn’t this a name tag?”
“Oh, it really is?”
I hadn’t noticed it while focusing on calming the puppy, but there really was a name tag attached to the collar.
The dog collar on the middle head was nearly burned through and about to break, but fortunately the metal name tag remained intact.
And there was a name written on it.
“It’s so damaged that the name is hard to read.”
Rasifer frowned and unfastened the necklace, lifting the nameplate into view.
At that, I blinked.
It was incredibly clear to me…?
‘Ah, could it be.’
This creature’s name was Kero.
But what was written here was an entirely different name.
‘Could this be the true name of the Chaos Spirit King?’
I’d find out if I called it.
I soothed the growling Pir and handed him to Rasifer. Then, holding Cerberus tightly, I opened my mouth.
“Great and magnificent, most extraordinary Chaos Spirit King, Gaios! Please enter into a contract with me. Superti of Fasayen humbly requests this!”
Whoooosh.
A fierce wind swept in from nowhere, and the surroundings darkened in an instant.
The wind was so strong that my hair whipped wildly, scattering the debris scattered across the floor, and the pitch-black surroundings were quite threatening.
Yet no matter how long I waited, the Chaos Spirit King didn’t appear.
[The Chaos Spirit King ‘■■■■’ scoffs.]
[Merely that won’t suffice to serve this one.]
Ah…?
I read the particularly luminous glittering text and cleared my throat before speaking again.
“You who possess absolute authority to shake the order of all things in the universe and eternal, imperishable majesty. You who shine brilliantly even within any darkness and chaos, endowed with infinite wisdom and noble grace. You who hold the chaos and change of the world, creation and destruction in your hands—great Chaos Spirit King Gaios! Please enter into a contract with me!”
[The Chaos Spirit King ‘■■■■’ smiles faintly.]
[If you desire this one so earnestly, then I shall oblige!]
Now at last, the darkness in the air began to coalesce.
Tall stature with wavy black hair. A pale face with striking crimson lips.
All ten fingers adorned with ancient-looking rings, and atop the head, a tiara so dazzling it hurt to look at.
The long, flowing garment with delicate embroidery was royal attire from at least five hundred years past, as were the pointed-toed shoes.
The Chaos Spirit King appeared as though a royal from ancient history had stepped directly into the present.
[Oh my, Kero! Our Kero, you’ve been through so much!]
Unlike the other Spirit Kings, Gaios showed no interest in me.
Instead, he approached Cerberus first, coaxing and comforting him, attempting to shower him with kisses.
At that, Cerberus’s tail stiffened again.
[There, there. You remember me, don’t you? Goodness, I should have given you more elixir. Did that Phoenix wretch hurt you? Did it hurt?]
“Grrr! Woof woof!”
[Oh, you hate your master? That’s understandable. It’s all the master’s fault. Our Kero did nothing wrong.]
One of Cerberus’s heads rejoiced, one raged, and one wept, while Gaios continued lavishing kisses regardless.
…It was truly a mess.
In any case, Rasifer and I stepped back and observed their reunion.
After quite some time, the Chaos Spirit King looked at me and expressed his gratitude.
[You took your time rescuing him, but I’m grateful you found my child. I couldn’t descend to the Mortal Realm to search for a puppy myself.]
“I’m glad I could help, Gaios.”
[I’ll be taking Kero with me… ah, yes. I should give you a gift. Here you go.]
Gaios extended his long, slender fingers and flicked something toward me.
It was a mirror of remarkably antiquated design. The peculiar thing was that it was already shattered, with some of its pieces missing.
It didn’t seem like I could use it for its original purpose of reflecting one’s face, so I wasn’t entirely sure what it was meant for.
Since he seemed too preoccupied to explain right now, I decided it would be best to store it in Rasifer’s subspace for the time being.
“Now for the last one. Only the Fate Spirit King remains.”
“This must be exhausting, Shu.”
“It’s fine. Everyone has their own duties to fulfill.”
I’m simply doing what I must do as well.
“Once everything is over, what would you like to do first? Should we head to a resort for some proper rest?”
Rasifer asked gently.
I smiled and paused to consider.
Well, there are plenty of resorts scattered throughout Fasayen.
Should I visit Sineria again? Perhaps play with the Mermaids?
Whatever it is, I want to be at peace.
With all the people I love and cherish.
“Let me think about it after I’ve had a good rest!”
“Sounds good. You’ve worked so hard.”
Now, truly and finally, it ends.
The final chapter of a story that has continued since childhood.
I clasped my hands together and whispered reverently.
“Fate Spirit King, please answer my call. Please make a contract with me.”
As I finished speaking, light illuminated the surroundings, which had remained dark from the aftermath of the Chaos Spirit King’s departure.
One, two, three.
Countless lights kindled like this, orbiting around me like planetary rings.
Looking closely, I could see the lives of nameless people being replayed within them.
A child laughing in her father’s arms, an elder walking with her daughter, a mother cooking with her son.
The meetings and quarrels of young lovers, farewells and reunions.
Everything that could be called a human life existed within that radiance.
Mesmerized, I gazed upon the letters formed by the gathering light and read them.
“Moiraia, the Fate Spirit King.”
A brilliant flash erupted.
Intense light blazed forth.
I closed my eyes for a moment, and when I opened them, I stood alone in some space.
[You have endured much, one who faces destiny.]
