[Go read the commentary at the beginning of chapter 158 of the Aisha arc!!]
One year after Zenith woke up
My actions have exposed...
It's my fault. If I had been more low-key back then...
Zenith didn't scold me; instead, she scolded herself.
I kept my head down the whole time and didn't argue back.
However... one day when I came home...
Zenith committed suicide
After Zenith died, I never went back to that house.
To live entirely in the laboratory
To be honest, I didn't feel much about Zenith's death.
I didn't go home because I was running away from Sylphie.
I don't know what kind of feelings I have for her right now.
So many years have passed, and we are still the same.
However, this time I completely ran away.
"Lord Rudeus..."
"I'm not sad, Aisha, you don't need to comfort me."
"But... you did so much for Mother..."
"I told you, I'm not sad."
Ignoring Aisha, I spoke to Nanahoshi.
"How about it?"
"I can write to Orsted... Are you really going?"
"Um"
About six months ago, a man named Geese approached me.
He also wants to take action against Orsted, and he needs my help.
Let me go and persuade the Sword God, the Water God, and the North God Third.
After finding out their locations, I visited them one by one.
I don't think my persuasion was particularly compelling; it's just that they also wanted to kill Orsted.
"I'm going to mail the letter."
"Um"
Rudeus
"Um?"
You will die.
"Fine"
"All right"
Aisha has known about this for two years.
The challenge of Orsted
After Nanahoshi's letter was sent, there were probably only three days left.
Go to the place where the traps are set...
Incidentally, Nanahoshi and I developed Magic Power Storage Device, and I also developed time magic.
The original plan was to use time magic to travel back in time once I had enough magic power stored up...
But now, I don't even have the thought of going back to the past.
I just want it to end.
The night before the challenge of Orsted
I also had a relationship with Aisha.
She walked into the laboratory, ignoring Nanahoshi who was looking at blueprints.
Take off clothes
I didn't resist, and we started doing it right there in the lab.
Nanahoshi remained silent throughout.
"Lord Rudeus... I only have one chance, I want to conceive your child..."
What are you saying?
"You'll die... Miss Nanahoshi told me..."
Nanahoshi said impatiently at the experimental table.
"Get this done quickly!"
That's what they say.
Later, the Nanahoshi also joined in.
On the eve of the final battle, he had relations with the two of them.
decisive battle
... To call this a decisive battle would be to greatly underestimate this Orsted.
He instantly killed the Water God, the Sword God, North God Third.
Finally, the God of War with the ability to regenerate remained.
However, he completely ignored the God of War and charged towards me.
"I should have killed you back then, Rudeus Greyrat!"
"Yes! You should have killed me back then!"
I cast a spell.
Gravity from all directions pressed down on Orsted.
However, this didn't work.
His body was unimaginably hard.
Guerrilla warfare...
I activated the teleportation and returned to the laboratory.
Um?
Something next to me is glowing...
a moment
Orsted followed.
"Hahaha! You can do it too... cough..."
A punch came and I was knocked to the ground.
He's still alive...
He walked over, grabbed my neck with one hand, and lifted me up.
"Why? I let you go, why do you still want to die?"
"Cough cough... Haha... Let me go...? You might as well kill me..."
"Why? Is it because I killed Aisha Greyrat, or because I killed Eris Boreas Greyrat?"
"Of course it's both, you bastard!! I'm going to kill you..."
I reached out, trying to strangle him, but I couldn't reach him.
Just as I was about to stop breathing, Orsted threw me aside.
" Rudeus Greyrat, where did Nanahoshi Shizuka go?"
"My woman, I've had her hidden away for ages..."
Orsted strolled around the laboratory, glancing left and right.
Until he walked up to a draft.
"Is this something you researched? Time magic...?"
"Of course... you can try and see if it works, you damn thing..."
"Over there, this is magic... You created something that can store magic?"
I didn't answer, feeling my own breath slowly fading away.
I just got punched... it seems like I'm bleeding internally...
" Rudeus Greyrat, why don't you use time magic with this device to go back in time?"
"Heh... I'd rather kill you than go back..."
"Just because of Aisha Greyrat and Eris Boreas Greyrat?"
"... yes..."
Also, Paul
Roxy
Zenith...
They're all dead...
" Rudeus Greyrat, if I could go back in time, what would it take for you to submit to me?"
Heard this question
I forced a smile and pulled at the corners of my mouth.
"Kill Aisha in front of me once, then bring her back to life... That's human nature... If you really go back... you can try it. The me of that time would definitely be kneeling and begging... Hahahaha!"
I finally stood up and rushed towards Orsted.
All the magic power was poured into this spell.
" Rudeus Greyrat, I'll remember your words."
The magic was not released.
This trick again.
The Former Dragon Gate, huh... that's really shameless...
Then, what came into view was
