Chapter 335

Unbeknownst to himself, Yuder wore a bitter smile, only to erase it shortly after.

No one was better at distinguishing between lies and truths than Enon. Though he claimed not to believe, the fact that he eventually said the exact opposite indicated which way his thoughts had been leaning.

Yuder had been the one to seek Enon's help in the hope that things would turn out this way from the beginning. However, once it actually came to pass, he strangely didn't feel as good about it as he had expected. He somewhat regretted not being able to maintain his usual composure when talking about his past life in front of Enon.

"Yes, you're right. As I've mentioned before, I know a bit more than others."

What Yuder knew was only the future he had witnessed in his own life. When he first turned back time, he felt joy for a moment, having grasped all possibilities. However, the more he twisted the past to change the outcome, the more he became aware of how many things in the world he didn't know.

But there was still much he could do with that limited information.

"But Enon, watching me closely over time, your thoughts couldn't have been solely that, right?"

"..."

"You are not the kind of person who will just leave the capital just because someone drags you along. Even now..."

"Stop right there."

"Alright. If you have thoughts of helping me a bit more, feel free to ask your questions. I'll tell you as much as I can within what I know. You make the decision."

Yuder ceased his speech, staring at Enon's face, his mouth firmly closed.

"But if that happens... I'd like you to tell me more about yourself."

"What's the use of knowing me in detail? Can you believe whatever I tell you?"

"I'll believe. Because you believed in me."

At his flat response, Enon momentarily stopped speaking. He looked away as if at a loss for words, then mumbled in a defeated tone.

"I said... I still don't believe."

"Yes, you did."

"I really don't know what you're thinking. I've never met a person like you since Luma."

Whether being compared to the legendary Archmage was good or bad, he didn't know. Enon raised his head towards the ceiling, then let out a deep sigh and returned to his original position.

"I need some time to think. I'm not sure at the moment."

"Understood. You can tell me when you've sorted things out."

"...But tell me, did I really die?"

Yuder quietly shook his head. Looking into Enon's seriously wide eyes, he somehow let out a bitter smile.

"No, not exactly. You disappeared."

"Disappeared?"

"You said you had something to investigate and left a letter, then disappeared. You told me to mention the information you had given me if we met again and you didn't remember me."

He didn't realize it would be after he had died and returned.

"I never got to meet you again after that."

Hearing Yuder's words, Enon stroked his chin, a look of recognition in his eyes.

"...Then I guess I did die. Maybe different from the death you're thinking of."

Puzzled about what he meant, Yuder blinked, only to see Enon wince and give a grin.

"I'm not human."

"...You don't know?"

"I just came back here all of a sudden. I thought of it as an opportunity and thought I should do better this time."

Enon's gaze on him became even stranger.

Yuder had expected to be called a madman once again, but for some reason, Enon remained silent. After a moment, the words he uttered brought up an unexpected conversation from the past.

"Do you remember... a statement I made before?"

"What statement?"

"I said that even Luma couldn't turn back time."

Yuder seemed to recall something like that being said around the time Enon had refused to believe his claim about coming from the future. As Yuder nodded, Enon's expression darkened. In his eyes, an unknowable thought spiraled far away.

"Luma... he was obsessed with a magical research for a long time. He kept it a secret from others, but I knew it was research about time-reversing magic. But he failed. That's why he left. He left everything behind..."

Yuder just quietly listened to Enon's disjointed mumblings.

"I actually couldn't understand why he wanted to research that kind of magic. I was curious why he didn't give up despite the constant failures..."

Enon's gaze slowly returned to Yuder. He was looking at Yuder with an utterly unfamiliar expression.

"He said back then. If a god can do it, a human can too."

"..."

"I'm not saying I fully believe you yet. But I... Every time I see you, I keep thinking about that. Maybe the reason Luma was interested in that was because there was a precedent of someone spouting the same words, like you."

"Are you saying there was someone else who turned back time?"

"I don't know."

Enon answered briefly and rubbed his head.

"But somehow, I have that feeling."

Enon's questions ended there. Even though they had had a conversation that was hard for both of them to believe, Yuder strangely felt that they shared something deeper than before.

"Take this."

Enon took out an item from his bag and handed it to Yuder. It was a small potion with a transparent color.

"Your recovery seems slow probably because your body had somewhat adapted to the monster's blood before the magic spell succeeded, so I made a potion to stimulate your vitality."

"...What happens if I drink this?"

"It will likely influence your innate energy, so you might have trouble controlling your strength for a while. If it reacts well, you might have a fever, but there won't be any significant harm."

Enon answered along with a word that he was not completely certain.
