If it weren't for that overlapping memory, I wouldn't have gone further and further down this path of drifting away.

Compared with the initial confusion, and can't wait to find the value and goal of their own existence. The initial rush is now gradually beginning to calm down, and even want to savor this hard-won serenity.

It is precisely because I have seen the cruelty of this world that I know how to cherish it.

It is precisely because I am reluctant to give up this beauty, so I have always maintained a certain distance from this beauty.

You could say it's an escape, but in my opinion, it's a kind of guardianship of what you like.

Selfish, but fearless.

"Rem, do you know that since the disappearance of the memory fragment of coming to this world, my heart has been very confused. I'll wonder what kind of fetters are there that would make all of you come and take me back despite the danger. Take me back into your world. ”

At this moment, those monsters not far away seemed to have received some order, and looked at them from a distance, like shadows that would not move, under the sun, but they would not disappear.

"I never believed in love, it was selfless and didn't ask for anything in return. However, as my memory regained little by little, I understood. It's not that you can't bear me, but I can't bear all of you, the voice of each of you, everyone's face is deeply imprinted in every flesh and blood of my body, it is precisely because of reluctance that I will lose my memory, and it is precisely because of amnesia, even if my ability is almost completely gone, I must use the last strength to protect the pure land in my memory, that home. So, Rem, don't embarrass me, I swear, I'll come back to you well and in good condition. It's not because you need me, it's because I can't live without you. I can't imagine how boring and tasteless the world would be without you, just like a steel world that has lost its color, no matter how long it is, it is not as meaningful as your company. Trust me, this time, I'll be back in good condition, I promise!"

"Yes...... But ......" Rem lowered her head timidly, her fists clenched tightly in her palms, and the feeling of getting farther and farther away from her beloved did not disappear.

Obviously, this is like a confession in person, but I didn't feel a little moved, and I was even a little scared.

I'm afraid he's lying to himself, I'm afraid he'll never see him again after he's said this, I'm afraid...... I will never be able to hear his voice, smell his body, see his appearance, touch his body, and experience his care for myself.

This short confession-like sentence made the distance between the two people a little farther away, obviously a good time to be alone, but it did not take the opportunity to solve the previous confusion, but made this feeling of gain and loss more and more serious.

I can't imagine how gloomy the world would be without him.

I know more about people's hearts than anyone else, but at this moment, I can't see through this girl who has been with me for the longest time. Reaching out to her hand, as if she had memorized an action that had been repeated countless times, her hand gently wanted to rest on her side of her hair, but gently stroked the tips of her hair to her cheeks, which should have been an incomparably familiar action, but stopped in mid-air like a stop-motion animation.

A hand, a white, woman's hand, held my wrist, and it was too late to see who she was.

Cold, and the most fearful from the bottom of my heart, that unknown shiver made me afraid.

Impulsively, he wanted to step forward and hold Rem's hand.

It turned out that in the end, I didn't understand.

Your own selfish love cannot tolerate anyone.

Countless black hands came out from behind him.

Trapped himself, unable to breathe, and his heart stopped.

"Shatina!" did not accuse her, the girl who suddenly appeared in front of her.

The memory gap ———— this moment entered her memory gap, the girl she had never met, the girl who summoned herself to come to this world, and finally the appearance of the girl in her memory overlapped with the appearance of another person.

Emilia ......

The girl looked back at the smile after a moment, and the memory of her outstretched hand, and the oath that seemed to be after kneeling. Thousands of times the memories overlap.

【Never leave, never give up】

[With no betrayal]

【Will fulfill your wish】

Later, looking at the empty place under the throne, and the woman guarding the throne.

The kingdom ushered in the best of times, but there was no one left around for the end.

Crusius, Phyllis, Anastasia, Aaron, Julius, Mr. Swordghost, all of them are gone, and the only ones left in the end are herself, her, and the withered throne.

"Do you regret it? Regret that you chose me, regret that you followed me. ”

A voice sounded behind me, and I lowered my head, as if remembering, as if contemplative, and then shook my head.

I don't regret it, but if I say I don't have regrets, it's still a little.

If you can, I hope that more people will stay, instead of being an enemy of myself and her in order to stop me.

"Even if I don't say it, I'm my own. After all, you've always been such a gentle person, do what you want to do. No matter where you are, I will protect you! Don't underestimate me! I'm very powerful now!" is already the supreme power in this country, but she still looks like a little girl in front of herself. Inadvertently, a smile that I hadn't seen for a long time came out of the corner of my mouth.

"Okay, I'll go and find the best, the best ending for you. An ending that satisfies both you and me. ”

The hand, resting on his wrist, was gently held.

At this moment, the two pictures overlapped, and the hand in front of him seemed to be a little younger.

The scent of nightshade came to the tip of his nose, and he put his other hand on his shoulder.

It seems that I have countless choices, but in fact, in the end, I can obviously choose, isn't that one?

Actually, everything is good, nothing is too bad.

I didn't have the intention of saving the world in the first place.

Even if it's only for one day, I just want to be greedy to accompany them for an extra year, a day, a moment.

I don't have a tomorrow for a long time, maybe every day is today, every day is a day that is repeated over and over again. Anything is good, no matter how bad. It doesn't matter at all. It doesn't matter at all......

Base...... Doesn't it matter?......

The slender wrist in his hand suddenly fell like muddy water, and the whole world began to gradually collapse.

Isn't it important?

If the person in front of you doesn't matter, then what is?

In the world of collapse, applause suddenly came to mind in my mind.

When I looked back, I saw the face exactly the same as I remembered.

"Well done, you've come this far. ”

"You...... Is that the future me?......"

"Huh, why a question?"
