The Light Screen footage began playing Otto's BGM.
Under the watchful eyes of countless people in the real world, Otto finally stepped into that final domain.
Against the backdrop of the somewhat sorrowful BGM, another scene seemed to be reflected in Otto's eyes.
It was several centuries ago, in the ancient and ignorant Middle Ages, at the moment when Destiny's saintess was about to be executed—when the saintess in plain clothes was being led to the execution ground.
