I was the one who awoke first.

The beautiful woman with red hair sleeping next to me was naked so I took off my robe to cover her.

The woman glowed silvery white and seemed younger than before.

Concerned I opened the robe to confirm and found that her large chest had shrunk slightly but the springiness had increased and they pointed upwards.

“Huh?”

Should I be happy or sad I wonder.

As I was engrossed musing over medical science, the sword at my feet also began to glow silver,

“Broken child led into this world by my mother Lilianess, I am the one who observes fate, Arius”

Wearing knights clothing, a slender man appeared pompously before me.

He gave off an impression similar to the vocals for a idol group that specialised in roller skates.1

“Good morning”

I didn’t have any idea what time it was then but….. as I had just woken up, I remember hearing that such a greeting was common even if it was nighttime in the business world,

“A-Ah, morning”

Somewhat surprised, the slender man raised a hand to greet me.

Translator’s Notes:

1: This is a reference to Hikaru Genji, an idol group in the 90s that performed dance routines on roller skates.

2: For those interested, she refers to herself using atai (the same pronoun she uses in the present day) rather than atashi like she did in the previous parts of the flashback.
