“......Yes?”
I blinked my eyes. There was a voice in my head.
– Born with a thousand fates, you are the soul who will live with him a thousand times, repeating birth and death, as a lover and as a couple.
“......!”
– It was meant to start in the next life, but it was advanced to this life by the God of Fate.
For a moment, I couldn’t think of anything as if my head was blank.
Kim Go-dong jumped on behalf of me, who blinked silently.
“No, so what the word of God is saying is, the God of Destiny brought her soul to change the future? And you put it in that body instead of the originally scheduled soul?”
– Yeah. You got it right.
“Wow... What about the soul that was supposed to be that body?
– She’s living another life in another world.
“Is that okay?”
– You shameless brat with no shame or guilt. Who’s responsible for this?
“Ah yes.”
Kim Go-dong staggered around because of the thunderous roar in her head.
I had no effect other than a slight surprise, so it seemed that God could control the extent of the impact for each person.
Thanks to it, I came to my senses. I asked God.
“Me and Ash...... We were supposed to be met in the next life, but you let me meet him in this life.”
– Yes.
“I’m curious about something. If we can change the future in that way, wouldn’t it be okay for different souls to exchange each other?”
For example, if only the soul of the Crown Prince and Ash had changed, the future would have been quite different.
But God of the Dimension shook his head.
– Fate is rarely attributed to the soul. Usually with the body. That’s why I needed your soul. A powerful and clear destiny that is carved into your soul.
“......Ah.”
– It’s exactly the fate engraved on you and his soul, have your questions answered?
“Yes.”
My heartbeat a little.
No, it was quite a throbbing.
The fate engraved on the soul. In other words, it sounded like fate that can’t be changed no matter what.
It hasn’t changed in reality, and it would have changed the fate of the body.
‘I and Ash are meant to be.’
Was it supposed to be this good to hear?
I am enjoying the excitement and joy that I have not suppressed, and then God of Dimension said.
– Is there anything you want?
“What?”
– Anyway, you’re in a random order of fate by the will of God. If you want anything in return, I’ll listen.
“Well, I don’t know........”
That’s what I want.
I finally looked at Ari, who had barely stopped crying. The tip of her nose was red and her eyes were slightly swollen.
“..........Please take her well home. Safely. That’s enough.”
– That’s already been promised.
“Still.”
In fact, I don’t want anything else. For me now, I didn’t lack anything.
– Hmm......yes. Well, how about this one? You may already be satisfied with this life, but you may not know the next one.
“The next life?”
Since he said it’s a thousand times, wouldn’t I meet Ash in my next life, date and marry him anyway?
“Of course I understand. Because I don’t like it either. Short men don’t have a manly charm. Does that mean I’m handsome? No. Do I have a lot of money? That’s not true either. Personality is... well, it’s not bad, but how can anyone live by personality? It’s not something you can eat.”
“Mr Kim Go-dong?”
I called him perplexedly. Why did the complaint start all of a sudden?
Kim Go-dong was short. He’s a little... pretty small. It’s because only his gender became a man from a schoolgirl.
But I don’t know if that’s important at this moment. Should I console him? I seriously thought about what to say to him if I do it, but Kim Go-dong continued.
“But there was someone who said he liked a human being who was so short and had nothing.”
“........?”
“It took a long time. I used to be a girl. It’s hard to see myself in the opposite sex. But she waited for me for ten years. By the side of a human being who has nothing to put forward like this.”
Oh. I finally understood what Kim Go-dong was trying to say.
Kim Go-dong smiled awkwardly at me.
“I can’t throw her away. I’m sorry about my family, but......... I’m more sorry and grateful here.”
-You have a long tongue. So you’re not going?
The God of Dimension calmly cut off Kim Go-dong’s words and compressed them. Kim Go-dong nodded.
“Yes. I’ll live here until I get old and die. I’ll be buried here to the bones.”
– Yap. I thought it’d be better if you cleaned it up. Then do it.
As I felt before, the God of Dimension was quite merciless to Kim Go-dong.
Soon the God of Dimension put his hand on Ari’s body and raised the light.
– Let’s get started.
“Oh, wait!”
At this time, Ari came up to me as if something had suddenly come to mind. Then she whispered in my ear.
When I heard that, I opened my eyes wide and then laughed absurdly.
“Is that what you’re saying when you’re leaving me to be?”
“It’s important.”
Then Ari went again and stood beside the God of Dimension. The light enveloped Ari’s body.
“Well, good-bye, eonni.”
The light became stronger and eroded the whole view.
But I didn’t close my eyes this time. I stared at the vision of Ari turning into the light without blinking.
Somehow, it was not dazzling at all. It felt completely different from when the Queen used magic to flash the light when she escaped.
After a while, the light died down. And Ari’s body fell to the floor like a doll with a broken thread.
I was going to approach Ari, or, now, to be exact, Agrita’s body and help her up.
But at that moment, I suddenly had a splitting headache.
– Oh, no. It’s not easy for an ordinary human to face God for a long time, either. Try to rest.
Then the voice of God roared in my head.
And that was the last memory in the reception room.
My back was soft.
Not only my back but also my body felt soft overall. I felt like I was lying in bed.
‘.........bed?’
I opened my eyes.
The light coming out of the window was bright. Thanks to it, I could look inside at a glance.
It was a strange scene. It was a spacious and colourful room, but the interior was full of unaccustomed things.
The unfamiliar furniture, the unfamiliar structure of the room, and...
“......Ash.”
There was Ash.
My voice sank out. Is this my voice?
I blinked my eyes many times. Ash’s face was not blurred or erased.
Where is this place? And I wanted to ask since when he’s been so by my side, but before that, Ash kissed me on the forehead.
It was a friendly and light kiss as if the sleeping princess had received it.
I laughed unconsciously at the kiss and then closed my eyes again.
