Battle War; Magic, Sword and Dragon

If - II

"To save Father, Arisa came to me for help. I never knew that you were going to disappear, so that surprised me."

"Where are the parents telling them they're going to die. She can't be called your parents, but she loves you."

"I know that, Mother. All this time he continued to help the empire and myself without ever once complaining. That's why in order to repay her, I accepted Arisa's request without a second thought."

"It takes a lot of preparation for that. Even if one fails, everything will be free."

"Does all the incidents we've been through this end have anything to do with your plans?" Ask Charlmilia.

It does look unrelated, but after knowing the identity of Shadow, their unknown enemy is Arisa, it is not strange if everything has a relationship.

"That's kind. But it's wrong to think the plan is only the end of this. Our plan has already begun since Father's appearance for the first time in the village of the Blad clan."

Finally everything is connected.

The story of the Knight massacre, Kuro's recruitment in Shadow Knight, Dragonia, Dainsleif, chaos in the capital and most recently, Battle War.

"S..Have it been that long?"

Yui asked. He seemed to be holding so much anger. This is not unusual considering that all of these things cost many innocent lives.

If Kuro knew about it long ago, what would he think about this?

"You can't change the past, so you don't have to think about it."

"Why can the emperor say that? Kuro's brother is indeed merciless to the enemy, but he's not one to be happy with someone else who died because of him."

Kuro will protect the person who is precious to him. As long as he has the power, he will.

What the emperors Sei and Arisa did seemed to be a waste of the hard work that Kuro put in.

"How to think you're not wrong, but you're too naive. If you look at history, this country was built with countless bloodshed. You can ask the mother who witnessed the incident directly."

"..."

Yui made a silence. In his heart he did not accept Sei's way, but he also knew that Sei was really Kuro's son.

Surprisingly, maybe Sei was unaware of the resemblance.

"I understand sometimes we have to sacrifice something to get a bigger result, but is it worth it?"

"Fila, what do you mean by saying that?"

For the first time Fila expressed her opinion, but it was an opinion that nobody expected.

"Since I knew Kuro was going to disappear, I realized that I might never see him again. However, after learning more that there was nothing to stop Kuro from disappearing, or that Kuro himself wanted his death, I always thought. Do we have to save Kuro?"

"Fila, do you understand what you're saying?"

"Charl, you're wrong to think I don't love Kuro. Even today I bear the fruit of his love. As a mother and a parent, I also want a whole family."

Fila paused for a moment, then continued.

"But after hearing Arisa's story earlier, I also came to my senses. In this room no one really knows why Kuro wants to die. No, rather no one knew what Kuro was going through so he wanted to die. Without knowing that, I defied the idea of saving Kuro. That's if we have a way."

Everything is re-created by being reminded of the reality that exists.

Kuro is the closest person to them, but that doesn't mean they all really know Kuro.

Of all, Riana was the most visibly irritated.

"It sucks. You were right about that." Riana replied not to hide her frustration. "For this reason I hate him. He didn't really want to share the suffering he was going through. But you shouldn't have thought there was no way to save Kuro."

"W-is that right, Riana?"

For the first time Laila spoke. At first glance he does not seem to listen, but he is paying close attention.

"If there really is, mention it!!"

"Fila, why do you look so eager to provoke?"

Fila threw her face away as if she didn't care.

Charlmilia let out a small sigh as she did not understand what Fila was thinking right now.

"Before saying that, I must tell you about the way God Eraser works."

"God Eraser?"

"It was a god-killing magic, more precisely a god-eraser. By removing the existence of a god, we will kill the god. It's this magic that makes the memory of Kuro disappear."

The reason why King always disappears and no one remembers back is not only because they were chosen from the dead and never will, but also because of the influence of God Eraser's magic.

"Does such magic really exist? Killing gods is not something that is difficult to understand, but erasing their existence?"

"It's not as complicated as you'd imagine Charlmilia. For example, there is a heretical sect that controls a country. How do we destroy that heretical sect so that it doesn't exist? Easy, you just have to destroy the whole country until there's nothing left."

The parable is quite heavy, but it's easy to understand.

"God Eraser uses such a principle. And this method was aimed at preventing Kuro from getting back up."

"Isn't that too much? If Brother Kuro dies, how could he possibly rise again?"

"Yui, why don't you understand yet? Kuro is not a human, but a higher existence. He is King, king of the gods."

"!?"

For Yui, Kuro is a special person. That's why he doesn't really think about who he really is. As long as Kuro lives, it doesn't matter.

But after finding out the truth about Kuro, he ends up connecting all the oddities about Kuro.

Unfortunately, this also raises another question for Yui. If Kuro is a god, why did he become a normal human being and die?

It doesn't matter anymore.

"Riana, we'll talk about Kuro's identity later. You can just tell me how to save Kuro."

"Laila, you're really excited about this."

Laila looked at Riana with a sharp sign of her annoyance, but Riana only smiled as if she did not care.

"The first way is to destroy the magic of God Eraser itself. Although it was incredible magic, but it was not a magic without gaps."

"Is that the reason that Kuro survived to 400 years?" Ask Charlmilia.

Riana shook her head.

"You're wrong if God Eraser's magic doesn't have a strong effect. The magic was actually able to wipe out the existence of a god within seconds. Kuro's just not normal."

"""...."""

All made up. Everyone knew Kuro was a powerful god, but how strong was he? Just imagining it makes their heads dizzy.

"Back to topic. The magic of God Eraser has a big gap, that is, as time passes, it will weaken even more. By utilizing that, we can destroy the magic of God Eraser from Kuro."

"But that way failed." Connect Sei.

Not only Sei, but also Arisa made a complicated and sad expression.

It was at this moment that all understood what was meant by the plan to save Kuro by the two of them.

"Say-san, ....Arisa?"

The two did not answer, but it answered everything.

"The reason why using Avalon Island for Battle War is to confuse God Eraser's magic with the Reset power on the island. Then by using the power of True Quuen Arisa, we hope to destroy the magic of God Eraser to save Kuro."

"Unfortunately, all of that was foiled by Shin himself."

Everyone remembers what happened in the Battle War. Kuro destroys the island, removes the shield Arisa made, destroys God Eraser and finally takes the fight to space. After that Kuro left without leaving anything behind.

"Wait, then why is Kuro-kun still dead? Has not God Eraser been exterminated?"

Hearing Charlmilia's question, Arisa lowered her head. He clutched his arms full of sadness.

"Shin did destroy God Eraser, but he used other means to die."

"He controlled Arisa's power and took advantage of the moment where her body had not yet fully risen to die. He's a really amazing man."

It was more sarcasm than praise.

"That doesn't explain why Kuro died." Cut Fila. "The point of the matter is I don't think how to save Kuro, but how to stop his intention to die, I was wrong?"

All wore complicated expressions, but after hearing and knowing the truth behind Kuro's death, no one refuted Fila. Quite the opposite, what Fila said was true.

"You're not wrong. Unfortunately, you forgot one thing. How do we do it?"

"You told me, Empress. Unlike Arisa, Laila and you, I don't have so many memories with Kuro."

A spark appeared between Fila and Riana. I don't know why there is a rivalry between them.

"Dad himself does he have an idea?"

"Still calling me dad in this situation really makes me feel weird."

Sei made a complicated expression. Then after a while he glanced towards Laila.

And slowly everyone also looked towards Laila.

It didn't take long for Laila to finally understand. All that complicated talk was just a trick.

From the beginning they thought that only Laila could do something. But with Laila's unstable condition, it's impossible to get her to work together.

"Tell me, what do I have to do to save Kuro?"

Hearing that, Riana showed a faint smile.

"Because you understand, then I'll just go straight. In this world, you're the only one who can give Kuro back to us, to all of us."

Charlmilia then took out a Crystal Age. He showed it to everyone.

"This is the result of Bu Electra's research and Vivian's Paladin's concern about everything related to King. Not only does it mention how King came into existence and eventually disappeared, but it also mentions how to save King."

""!?""

Laila and Yui who first heard it were shocked.

"Of the many ways, there is one way that has a high probability of succeeding, but failing for some reason." Charlmilia.

"The way it is..."

"....back to the past."

♾♾♾♾

Regret about making the wrong choice is something that often happens. At that time it was not uncommon to think 'if I could repeat everything, then everything would be better.'

But how?

Time travel to the past is one of the right answers. In this magical world full of magic, time travel might be possible, but everyone knows it's also impossible.

That was what came to Laila's mind when she first heard the idea from Riana and the others.

"Back to the past?"

Riana nodded.

"Laila, with your strength it is most likely that time travel can be done. You yourself realize that you have that power, right?"

"..."

Laila did not argue, but also did not agree.

The power to manipulate time had already been used to save Lic, but it was not a force worthy of being called changing the past.

Then in his memory as Aliciana, he did have that power, but that power was too unstable and required sacrifice.

For the sake of saving Kuro, would he use that power?

"I know what you're thinking, but I'll stop you if you keep insisting on using it."

Someone cut the conversation. That person was an unexpected figure.

"Lic's... Since when are you?"

In contrast to the cheerful and smiling figure of Lic, this time Lic gave off a cold and sharp aura. This was a sign that he was in spirit mode.

"That's not important. Dad told me to stop you from doing anything stupid."

"!?"

The magic pressure with overwhelming power was unleashed Lic. No one can survive. They all fell silent with sweat pouring down.

"Kuh!! You're still the same as you used to be, tap-!?"

"Don't make me repeat it, Aria. You understand my power the most. Don't try to do anything weird."

Riana finally stopped to use the Holy World. That magic can indeed remove the pressure of Lic's magic, but it can't stop Lic.

Most of the people in the room did have the strength of a Master, but they could not possibly win against one of the Spirit of Beginning.

Lic then looked towards Laila.

"Mother, don't be stupid. If you insist, it'll just be a waste of dad's effort to save you."

"!?"

Laila was surprised to not understand.

"Tch!! Looks like you know what really happened in that Battle War. Quickly tell me, Izriva!!"

"It's nothing more than a promise to dad. You're not gonna hear anything from me."

Riana did not show her frustration. Getting involved with Lic was something he never expected.

But this is an important clue. They all thought Kuro was dead because he wanted to die, but it turned out to be a camouflage.

"Lic, don't you want to tell us? I'll give you candy."

"How could you think Lic would want with just candy, Charl?"

"I'm just trying. It's better just be quiet."

Fila and Charlmilia threw their faces away. It is still a mystery whether they really get along or not.

"Lic, what are you standing for right now? My daughter or spirit?"

"both. As a child, I couldn't have let you use a stupid plan just to get me back. As a spirit, I can't possibly let you use a power that breaks the balance of this world. Besides, going back to the past doesn't mean you can return you to this world."

What Lic said makes sense. Returning to the past has a big and unpredictable risk.

But even after hearing all that, Laila was still smiling and calm.

"Lic, tell me the real reason! That way I'll obey you."

Everyone was surprised. Laila couldn't have turned down the only way to save Kuro.

"I don't understand what you mean. I told you everything."

"I know, but it's not all. You told me not to waste Kuro's efforts on saving me. You said going back in time wouldn't bring Kuro back. Lic, I repeat. You better tell me everything!!"

Laila smiled, but it was a scary smile.

But someone other than Laila finally understood. Everything Lic said made no sense and felt awkward.

It's not just about the risk of going back in time, but there's also no guarantee of returning Kuro.

"Everything I've said. If you insist on going back in time, I will force you to stop, Magic Seal!!"

The aura enveloped Laila and after that the aura disappeared. Then the magic pressure of Laila disappeared completely like an ordinary person.

"Lic, what are you doing?"

"Izriva, you seem to be really looking for trouble with us."

"Well... I think this is better."

All make different reactions, but different from others. Laila was still smiling.

"Arisa, do you understand?"

"I hate to admit it, but this time we have the same opinion."

For the first time Arisa and Laila understand each other.

If you don't tell, just call someone who knows.

"Babes!!!"

"Yamirise!!!"

After calling out an unexpected name, a vortex of light appeared in the sky. The light shone brightly and before long two almighty great figures were present fulfilling their call.

But the vortex of light suddenly vanished with nothing left. And in the end the two figures fell to the floor violently like fools.

"I can't believe you used the Holy World at the time of our great appearance!! Aria, you haven't changed at all!!"

Solaris who had it was a beautiful girl with a divine aura of protest, but she did nothing more.

Unlike the figure of Solaris, the figure of Yamiris in the form of a beautiful girl with all black, it does not reduce the beauty and aura he has.

Then in terms of personality, Yamiris looks more like a quiet person.

"Solaris, I didn't call you to joke."

"I did give you the right to call me once in a while, but not in this way. You should be thanking me for coming."

For Yamiris, she came because she was summoned by Arisa who is the True Queen.

"I wonder what really happened to Kuro."

"I also want to get the same answer, Yamiris."

Yamiris and Solaris were silent for a moment as if they were doing it or not.

"....sorry, even though we know. We're not gonna tell."

"What!!!"

Not only Laila, but everyone was also surprised by Solaris' reply.

"I admit you and Arisa have a close relationship with us, the goddess gods. Unfortunately, that doesn't mean you have the right to receive the knowledge we have. Consider it a question of the gods."

Laila bit her lower lip. He didn't get that answer.

"Omong empty!!! The matter of the gods or not, it has nothing to do with Kuro. Quickly tell"

"You're wrong, Aria." Cut Solaris. "All of you should know very well, Kuro is one part of us, the goddess gods. Unlike you humans, we have a reason to hide something. Especially something that would ruin the balance of the world."

"Do you want to say that all this time Kuro's been hiding something is because he's a god? Don't joke with me!!!"

Unable to bear with everything, Riana let out an incredible magic pressure. The magic pressure was so heavy and cold.

Solaris just smiled.

"Just this time, I'll tell you one thing. In that Battle War, someone should have died. That person is not Kuro, but Laila."

"!?"

"He knew it and chose to sacrifice his life which was already on the edge. Well, maybe for him it was a big fufufu victory.."

Everything is surprised, but at the same time happy because it finally solves one mystery.

"My advice is to return to each other's lives. Kuro's departure isn't the worst thing to happen to you guys."

After saying that, a vortex of light reappeared.

"I broke the rules because we had a good relationship. Maybe we'll see each other again someday."

Slowly, Solaris and Yamiris floated into the air.

Laila could only be speechless seeing the only hope of leaving.

In his heart he felt confused. What does it mean that if Kuro doesn't die, Laila will die?

He tried hard to find the answer. And in the end, he found it.

What caused Laila to die was her own strength. It is the same as it used to be when I was Aliciana.

Kuro used to do nothing to change Aliciana's destiny, but now he has that chance. Solaris's right. This was a big win for Kuro.

Is this the end?

Will he accept Kuro's departure for good?

(No!!!)

He will restore Kuro and make a happy family as they dream.

Whatever path he has to take, he will continue to do so. Even though it was a path filled with thorns and obstacles.

And though it is also a path that will transform itself into something that cannot be called a human being anymore.

"Solaris, wait!!! I beg you to help us. In exchange, I will make a contract with you!!!"

""""!?""""

All were surprised by Laila's words.

Laila had been insisting that she did not want to make a contract with Solaris, but in order to return Kuro, she did something she did not want to do.

(It's just a small fee)

Solaris paused and showed a happy smile like a child getting a gift.

"Certainly that?"

Solaris's eyes sparkled twinkle. Laila nodded with a complicated feeling.

But that smile instantly disappeared changing with a serious face.

"Laila, do you understand this decision you're making?"

"I won't retract my words. I will make a full contract with you. Of course on condition."

"If the condition you're referring to is to help return Kuro, I will. But it all depends on your efforts."

"...Thank you." Thank you."

Confirming Laila's determination and desire, Solaris was happy, but somehow her eyes were so sad.

"For the rapture ceremony as the True Queen will be performed if the time is right. Now's not the time to do that, is it?"

"You didn't use that excuse to buy time, did you?"

"Aria, you better start thinking before you speak. I can easily erase your past memories just out of annoyance."

"..."

Riana denied it again and finally kept quiet.

"Mother..."

As a child, Sei didn't really understand why Riana was acting so annoyingly, but she remembered that her mother wasn't like this.

"Yamiris, is it okay?"

Yamiris just shook her head and after that she disappeared.

"Tch, he handed it all to me. You!!!"

Solaris then glanced at the annoyed Lic, but he did nothing more.

"Origin, I admit your efforts, but leave this to me. I promise to return Laila completely."

"..."

Lic still looked displeased, but he finally said nothing as if he had given up.

No matter how much he wants to fight it, he won't be able to win against Solaris. This was the difference in strength between the Spirit of Beginning and the Divine Dragon King.

"Origin, I will also need your strength later. You don't go first."

"This is why I hate you dragons. You always do it."

Everyone was happy that Solaris was finally willing to help them get Kuro back.

But there was only one person who looked unhappy.

"I'm sorry to interrupt your fun, but I'm still against all this."

That person is Fila.

"Fila, don't you want Kuro back?"

"It's not a matter of want or not, Charl. In my deepest heart, I want Kuro back. But just like before, I think as long as we don't know why Kuro wants to die, whatever effort we're going to do. Solaris I think you understand what I mean!"

"Fila, you should believe in your heart, not logic."

"My son, you don't have to tell Fila about everything. He said all that because that was what his heart said. And to be honest, I actually chose not to help you if Laila didn't make the contract."

Solaris' explanation made everyone curious. Why would Kuro want to die so badly?

"Solaris, do you know why?" Ask Arisa.

"Well, we still have time. So I guess there's no problem telling a little story. Maybe this will make your decision more mature."

Solaris looked at Arisa and after a while she smiled.

"You've heard the story of Arisa and Kuro, what I'm telling you is the truth of the story and its continuation."

---

In a world without magic, but there are monsters that can use magic and use that power to destroy humans.

But thanks to a young man, the disaster was stopped.

Unfortunately, it was wrong to think that the young man was the chosen one. He was a person who accepted a bet from a demon.

the world or the person he loves?

Without a doubt he chose the person he loved.

That choice led him to a repetition force called Reset. Every time he failed to protect the person he loved, he would return to the early days of their meeting.

This was the beginning of the hell of the world that the young man would experience.

Since he was an ordinary human, he could not possibly defeat monsters with unnatural strength.

He failed, again, again, again and again. He didn't count how much he failed. Along with his failure he saw his loved ones die, die, die, die again in a different way.

Experiencing the events of all that, it was not strange if the young man's heart and mind were finally broken. But damaged or not, Reset takes her back to their meeting for the first time.

He wanted to stop, but he couldn't.

He wanted to save the girl, but he couldn't.

It didn't take long for him to understand. To get out of this hell, there's only one way. Save the girl he loves and save the world.

But he knew it was an illusion. How could a human win over them?

Then after countless repetitions and times that have no idea when they have passed, a change occurs. That was the beginning of the seed of little hope that began to grow.

Hope is what ultimately makes him see the truth of the world.

"The Resurrection of Eyes of Origin is an unexpected result by anyone. Even for the gods, it was something that couldn't have happened."

Everyone who heard Kuro's story looked sad and bitter. They could not figure out the truth behind the story of Arisa and Kuro harboring a deep pain.

If calculated, how many years did Kuro go through it all? And how long has he lived?

Little by little, they finally began to understand why Kuro wanted to die.

Unfortunately, it's just the beginning.

Solaris continued.

"In the final fight, Kuro finally managed to save Arisa and defeat Demon King Solomon, but Kuro's too great power was not accepted in that world. And in the end, Kuro was forced out. Whither? Of course to another world."

""""!?""""

Kuro's journey has finally begun. In that new world, magical existences did exist, but no creature could actually use them.

Exploring the world for more than 10 years, he finally found a civilization. Civilization is simple and still so ancient.

At that time Kuro thought of building a better civilization with the knowledge he had. Simultaneously he would build strength to explore various worlds.

He has promised anyway.

1,000 years have passed since his arrival. He became an irreplaceable figure and was eventually considered a god.

God may be a fitting name for himself. He's not bound by the rules of time anymore.

Then, after 10,000 years, he finally managed to gain the power to traverse between worlds, a symbol of god power referred to as Authority, Space.

He eventually left that world and went to another world. Repeating a process that is almost the same as the previous world. He was not always a god. He also earned the nickname of a hero, a Sage, and even a Demon King.

Along with the time and world he explored, his strength grew and he grew stronger. He became an existence that surpassed the gods and ended up having a high standing in the level of the gods.

This is the beginning of the birth of a figure called King.

"If you look at history, King's first appearance in this world was 400 years ago, but he's actually been in this world since 1000 years ago. I think this is enough to explain why he wanted to die."

Everything is made silent with a story that contains about Kuro's journey. The story was too heavy and was beyond their imagination.

They were thinking how could Kuro go through all that?

No. gabe. Because Kuro made it through all that he deserves to be called the King.

"...so Kuro wanted to die because he felt he was living too long?"

"Eitherway. For the gods, age is not important. It was just that, as a former human, he must have felt that everything was enough. He has fulfilled his promise to Arisa."

Do not equate the value of dragons with the value of humans. This is what Solaris wants to say.

"By knowing all this, are you still thinking of returning Kuro? When he comes back, maybe he'll outlive this world by himself."

They can't answer. The answer to that question is too much for them.

They want to be happy by living together with Kuro, but after knowing what Kuro is going through, returning Kuro is just selfishness.

Fila might have realized this already, which was why she was the most opposed.

"Solaris, you don't have to ask me that anymore."

Of all, only Laila is still strong and unaffected.

"The answer to that question I will hear from Kuro's own mouth when he returns."

Laila's determination not to care about the past spreads to everything. They realize Kuro's past is just a long-ago past.

Kuro's sadness, pain, despair, anger and all the suffering they experience will be replaced with happiness.

"I also want to hear it from Kuro directly."

"I'd rather Kak Kuro be here. The world without her isn't so interesting."

"I haven't reciprocated what Dad did, so it's better if he comes back."

"There's a problem I need to solve with Shin."

"I will accept any result. Kuro-kun coming back or not, I will still step into the future."

They all give different reasons, but one thing is the same. They want Kuro back.

"Aria, what about you?"

The only one who has not given a reason is Riana. He who originally intended to return Kuro was not so excited after knowing Kuro might be back.

Solaris did not ask Lic's opinion because he already knew the answer.

"....I.I..."

Solaris let out a small sigh and suddenly hugged Riana.

"Just like Kuro, you're going through a lot. You should be happy to be able to repeat everything if Kuro comes back."

Riana simply lowered her head against Solaris' chest. Tears shed as a sign of sadness, but at the same time happiness.

"Then, what else are we waiting for. Let's pick up the troublemaker."

♾♾♾♾

The location then moved to the emperor's palace. More precisely in the basement.

The room resembled a large empty hall. The floors and walls were made of black-colored stones that had a strange complexion and gave off a magic aura.

"I didn't expect this room to be the same as it used to be."

"I kept this room the same as when Mom left it. This room is important to mom, after all."

Riana was so happy and looked nostalgic when looking at the contents of the room.

"I don't really understand what's special about this room." Yui Say.

"This room is made of mysterious stone found a certain depth of land. This stone has the power to enlarge the magic capacity. Practicing in this room can make you a Master in just a few months."

Yui and the others were shocked to discover that such a room actually existed.

What would they think to practice if they could become a Master in just a few months?

"Don't be tempted. The power of a mysterious stone can enhance magic, but it's like using a medicine. Using too much of the drug will only be toxic. You should know, one of the causes of my death is the power of this mysterious stone."

Hearing Riana's explanation, they turned deathly pale.

"Then, isn't it dangerous to use magic power in this room?"

"No problem. To reduce the negative impact of this room, Lic and Solaris will do something, right?"

"I could have wiped out all the negative effects, but it was too much. We don't need that right now."

Laila then arrived. He already looked better after eating and drinking the recovery magic potion. The influence of the potion was only to restore stamina alone since there was no problem other than that.

Laila's magic has also been removed. Now Laila can be said to have returned as usual.

"Solaris, you haven't told us how to get Kuro back."

"I know why you're in a hurry. It's just that you're wrong to think we're going back in time."

"Is it because of the bad effects on me and too risky?"

Solaris shook her head.

"Although going back to the past is one of the best paths, it is not the right path. The distortion due to the existence of the King made the flow of time and destiny fall apart. If you go back in time, you'll get lost between the gaps in the flow of time and can't go back."

The one who heard the explanation was deathly pale and grateful for not using that stupid idea. Now it makes sense why Lic called Laila stupid. He knew from the beginning.

"Then in what way?"

Solaris smiles. He put his finger on Laila's forehead.

"Think and remember. Your past life and your present life. ....You already know the answer."

"..."

Laila doesn't understand.

But there's no way Solaris wouldn't say all that for no reason. So the answer he was looking for was on him. It's just that he didn't realize it.

He began to think and recall his life as Aliciana. A royal princess who has the power to manipulate time. Because of this power he was targeted by many enemies and became the target of many people. Thanks to his encounter with Kuro, he was able to change his destiny and successfully take revenge.

Although he did not get a truly happy life, but he got happiness from his beloved, Kuro. Even if only for a moment.

Compared to his life now, nothing is much different. It's just that this time he had a whole family and he didn't lose a single precious person.

In terms of current strength it could use even greater and stronger power. Unfortunately, it wasn't the path that led him to Kuro.

Thenwhat?

He tried to dig deeper. In his memory between two lives.

"!?"

He finally found it.

"It seems you already understand what you should do."

"Yes." Yeah."

"Hey... Don't be your secret. Quickly tell us how to take Kuro without having to go back in time."

Charlmilia was impatient.

"It's not as hard as you think. Charlmilia, do you remember Diana's research on Alice's memories, my memories that spread throughout the world over time?"

Charlmilia.

"Now I remember why I used Eternal Dream magic. The magic was actually to trigger past memories in my present life."

Is correct. The reason why Laila can remember her past life as Aliciana is not a will of fate or a fortune and a mere coincidence.

With the magic that Aliciana uses before dying, she makes sure for herself in the future to know the figure of Kuro, the person she loves.

"We're going to use that magic to send my memories back in the present to the past. That way, I in the past could stop Kuro."

"Can it be done?" Ask Yui.

"Theoretically it could be. Even though it can't be done, I'm sure Solaris can complement what's lacking." Riana obviously. "Then given the flow of time, only on that occasion can we change Kuro's desire to die."

Riana remembered how her meeting with Kuro the life they had lived together. He still remembered clearly since then Kuro had already wished to die.

Even the reason Kuro bought Riana back then was simply to create a powerful god-killer.

"Alright, since everyone has understood, then we just start the magic ritual."

Without much more time, Solaris started drawing magic circles with her blood.

Laila and the others were made a notjud with magic energy that was felt in every drop of blood that came out of Solaris' fingertips.

For Solaris, this is nothing special. After all he was one of the strongest dragon gods. If his blood did not contain magic, it would only degrade him.

Then after 40 minutes passed, the magic circle with an area of 100 meters was finally ready. No one knew and understood about such a complicated and ancient magic formation.

"Riana and Sei can come back. You understand the reason, right?"

Both did not reply. They just nodded and started leaving the place.

But Riana stopped and suddenly hugged Laila again.

"Laila, there's a lot I want to say."

"I knew. There are so many things to talk about."

About their past lives. About their lives now. About Kuro. And many more.

"We'll talk as a family. And of course when Kuro is with us again."

".....thank you."

After that Riana and Sei really left. All that was left of the room were Charlmilia, Fila, Yui and Lic.

"Do we have to go too?" Ask Yui.

"No. You can wait if you want, but I'm not forcing you to stay either. For you, Origin. You must know what you're gonna do."

"Of course."

"Laila, let's get started."

Laila, Solaris and Lic head for the magic circle. After that Laila lay down at the center.

"Laila, for now forget your feelings as a mother for a while."

"What do you mean?"

Without answering, Lic became a particle and disappeared into Laila's body.

At that moment he understood. At this moment Lic did not become a child, but became the spirit he contracted.

Laila was angry at herself for being in this situation, but she understood Lic also wanted to help.

"We won't know how long this magic ritual lasts. Origin (Lic) will keep you stable and keep the child in your womb fine."

With such an explanation, it was possible that Laila could be angry again.

He was again reminded that his body is not only taking one life.

"Then let's start."

Solaris slashed her fingertips again and dripped her blood into Laila's mouth. And after Laila swallowed Solaris' blood, the magic circle started to react.

The radiating light grew brighter along with the overflowing magic energy. That light pierced through the sky and created a pillar of light right towards the sun.

♾♾♾♾

Not knowing when time had passed, Laila opened her eyes. His consciousness had not fully recovered.

After a while, it finally became clearer. The first thing he saw was a roof he didn't know.

No. gabe. Rather than being unfamiliar to him, the roof just felt a little forgotten.

(Did the magic ritual work?)

If it works, where is Kuro?

He wanted to ask the people around him, but he realized that he was nowhere before. Now he was in a bed that was not so comfortable and luxurious.

(Does the future change?)

It's possible, but he doesn't want it to happen. If the future changes, not necessarily Riku and Lic become his children.

For now he tries to stay calm and think positively. Not necessarily the future changed.

The first thing he did was make sure everything was okay. Anything changes and most importantly does Kuro come back.

"Hm?"

But before that, he realized something strange.

As she remembered, her hair had been cut. So not all the time. The color is different too. Her real hair was blond with the addition of blue, but her hair is now entirely blue.

Then for the size of the chest, he was sure that his chest felt lighter and smaller.

What the hell is going on?

Confused by the situation, the door opened and someone entered.

A young man with silver hair was white and had the same eye color. He's not so handsome, but he doesn't look ugly either.

Laila was anxious to scream because she did not think Kuro was really back, but there was something that kept her quiet.

It was the pink apron Kuro wore.

"Alice, breakfast is ready. How long are you going to sleep?"

".....uh?"

The alice?

It was at this moment that he finally came to his senses. The magic ritual she performed did not send her memories to Alice in the past. For some reason, the ritual sends her personality to the past and takes over Aliciana's personality.

--Solaris, what are you planning?

One thing is for sure, he knows what to do.

"alright. I think tofu breakfast that I ate this morning💕💕💕"

"....Alice, weren't you satisfied last night?"
