Epilogue

Part 1

Well, thank you so much! Youve been a big help!

N-no problem.

A little while after I finished slaying the false dragon, Lanael-san came back.

I really wish I could have helped you, but there was a movement with the main body of the False God just above and I was called back. Im sorry.

Lanael-san bowed her head apologetically.

But Zenovis-san indifferently told her.

If you and the others in the upper dimension had been more firm, this wouldnt have happened.

Ugh T-thats true, but

Be that as it may, the false dragon has been defeated. You have no more business with us, do you? As promised, return Yuuya to his original time.

Of course, of course! B-but Observer-samas still want Zenovis-sama to cooperate with us

What?

Zenovis-san looked at Lanael-san in a troublesome manner.

Ive told you many times, settle matters in the upper dimension in the upper dimension. Dont involve me in it.

I-I know that! Thats why Observer-sama says he will welcome Zenovis-sama into the upper dimension!

I have told you repeatedly that I refuse to do so. Why do you insist on me so much?

In response to Zenovis-sans genuine question, Lanael-san seemed reluctant to answer but spoke honestly.

The truth is, in the battle between the False God and Observer-samas, Observer-samas side is currently at a disadvantage The reason is that the False God is trying to invade our world using a large number of sentinels, just like the Genesis Dragon that the two of you defeated. Their number is more than Observer-samas expected

Hmm

In order to counter this army of false gods, we need to ask for help from beings with power equal to that of Observer-samas! But such beings are few and far between

A-and Zenovis-san is one who fulfills that condition, isnt he?

Yes

Lanael-san drooped down powerlessly.

In this case, I should say that Zenovis-san is too amazing or that the observers are too different in dimension

Zenovis-san, who heard Lanael-sans story, nodded without changing a single expression on his face.

I see. I understand what you said.

T-then!

I understand and refuse.

No way!

Zenovis-san ruthlessly refused, and this time Lanael-san sank to the ground.

But there was more to Zenovis-sans words.

I refuse, but as an alternative I recommend Yuuya.

Eh?

Yuuya-san?

I was stunned by these unexpected words. I immediately understood the meaning of the words and shook my head in panic.

W-wait! To recommend me thats impossible, isnt it? Im not as strong as you, Zenovis-san!

For now, yeah.

Eh?

I told you, right? You are strong. And theres a good chance youll surpass me.

N-no way

Thats why Im recommending you. Of course, it will be tough at this stage, but Im sure the observers will do something about that.

Zenovis-san seemed to have already decided in his mind that I was going to go, and he turned to Lanael-san once again.

So, thats it. You can take him with you.

I have had encounters with Lexia-san, Luna, Yuti, and Kuro.

I met wonderful people like Master Usagi, Iris-san, Odis-san, and others.

And Night, Akatsuki, Ouma-san, and Ciel.

I wouldnt have the family I have today without Sage-sans legacy.

Without anything else, I was just an abused high school student.

I would still be spending miserable days on Earth.

But now I have a place on Earth.

I cant thank Zenovis-san enough.

That is why

I understand. I dont know how much I can replace Zenovis-san, but if I can be of any help to Zenovis-san even just a little!

I shook Zenovis-sans hand.

Thank you.

When Zenovis-san smiled gently, something warm permeated my body through my hand and Zenovis-sans.

It stayed around my heart for a while, and then it seeped into my body.

This concludes the soul contract. You are now my successor.

Zenovis-san

When Zenovis-san told me this with a somewhat radiant expression on his face, my eyes lit up.

Well Zenovis-sama is as extraordinary as ever Its amazing that you succeeded so effortlessly in making a soul contract that has a terribly low success rate and, if it fails, will destroy both souls

Zenovis-san!?

Hahaha!

While I was surprised by the bombshell from Lanael-san at the last minute, Zenovis-san laughed out loud for the first time here.

The next moment, my body was gradually enveloped in light.

W-what is this?

Oh, it looks like its started!

I was panicked by the suddenness of the situation, but Lanael-san continued calmly.

Dont worry! Its just that Observer-samas are preparing to send Yuuya-san back to your original time.

I-I see

For the moment, I realize that it is not dangerous, so I look at the situation.

What can I say its a strange feeling, a little like the scene when you defeat a monster.

Its like my body is gradually turning into particles of light and disappearing but strangely enough, it wasnt terrifying.

After all, the sage, Zenovis-san, is right in front of me. So Im sure everything will be fine.

Well then, Yuuya. Im really glad to have met you.

M-me too!

When it comes time to say goodbye, sadness comes over me.

Perhaps sensing my feelings, Zenovis-san smiled softly.

After you leave, I will forget you. But my soul will remember you. May your future be blessed.

Yes!

At last, I can return to my original time.

Just as I thought that, Lanael-san dropped another bombshell.

Oh, by the way, the Evil that was fighting Zenovis-sama here was called forth in the time when Yuuya-san was originally present, and that Evil will be brought back to this time with Observer-samas power, but it will be troublesome if he resists, so it would be helpful if you could hurt him moderately!

Hey! Eeehh

The Evil is supposed to appear right in front of you, so dont think too much about it and just slash it with your sword!

I hurriedly tried to ask for more information, but to no avail; I was sent back to my original time.
