I'll kill you after I finish this game!

It's probably for the first time in her life that this girl understands the meaning of rejection.

The golden-haired man smiled upon hearing this, as if he had been waiting for Mary to say these words. He gently put his arm around Mary's slender waist and spoke to her with deep affection and passion:

"Then let us be mortal enemies—let's celebrate by declaring war here."

One can feel a sun-like, all-encompassing radiance emanating from Mary's soul, a radiance completely different from her true nature.

Anyone would consider a woman like that a goddess, right?

However, at the same time, someone as arrogant and self-centered as Reinhardt would only see such a person as an enemy.

They have different views on loving the world.

Reinhard's love is destruction, annihilation, because he is too powerful, and all things are too insignificant to him.

Even if he himself would harm others, he would still love with all his heart and soul.

Endless battles, endless destruction, endless rebirth.

Even if I ruin things for everyone, it won't matter. Letting this wonderful thing continue is Reinhardt's love for all things.

The craving impact was like a flash of light, transforming into the shape of a gleaming gun.

The deafening shouts turned into the pain of millions, piercing Mary's heart.

"I have made a promise to you, to give you a curse (on your feelings), so that you will never forget it. As long as the pain remains in your heart, it will continue to melt your body."

A golden spear-like light burst forth from Mary's chest, the dazzling light piercing into her body and even her soul, causing her pupils and body to tremble.

I was asked by Cagliostro and Reiji before if I wanted to go on a trip, and whether I wanted to sing alone forever.

At that time, the girl, who was about to meet others for the first time, chose to go, hoping that someone would listen to her singing and that she didn't want to be alone.

Cagliostro and Rezé promised her that the journey ahead would bring her joy and allow her to learn and understand more.

Once upon a time, she was an unmeltable stone, until the two original people gave her direction, and Skadi gradually sculpted her into a completely new shape.

Guided by her newest contact, Fujii Ren, the girl is about to undergo a complete transformation.

This should have been Fujii Ren's responsibility and work, but unexpectedly, Reinhardt filled in this part of the puzzle.

So what did they expect from her in the past? What did they want her to do?

------

As consciousness plunged into deep darkness, Fujii Ren unconsciously or uncontrollably began to review his own shortcomings, knowing that a sense of humor would come first.

As a person with shallow thinking, [she/he] knows that she/he is very bad at communicating the necessary information when necessary.

In short, [she/he] simply puts it as 'I'm a talkative person'.

Make the difficult things around you even more difficult, and make the simple things difficult.

Men who like to capture and portray themselves in this way are indeed annoying to those around them.

Wait... a man!?

【Fujii Renta/Karlta】is clearly female/male.

Distorted thoughts caused Fujii Ren, whose consciousness had fallen into a coma, to be unable to recognize her own true nature. Is this her? Is this really her?

Humorous and self-deprecating remarks, whether expressing displeasure or interest, and the indifference shown by men, women, young and old... while manipulating them, he re-examines his own heart; this has become his habit.

(No, no, this... isn't me, stop...)

I am this kind of person, and I hope you can understand my intentions, what I want to share, and work together.

After all, such thoughts only occurred three times in [his/her] chaotic life.

While it's impossible to determine whether it's worth commemorating, the first time was at this time.

[The infinite unknown, I, born an old man, received a miracle within a miracle, and was once happy because of it; that was my first dearest friend.]

The first time was a turning point in his/her life, a redemption leading to a fresh start; the second time was around that time.

The scene that appeared in Fujii Ren's hazy consciousness and in the eyes of the audience was that beach at dusk.

A familiar black figure stood before Mary, speaking with such deep affection and fascination:

"I've fallen in love with you."

What is the reason for this [she/he]... this self that is so roundabout, tactful, and unwilling to be understood... to be so straightforward, concise, and outspoken?

"I want to kneel before you, Flower."

Here we go again, the memories we once saw with Fujii Ren and the audience are flashing back once more.

The mysterious being who met Mary and expressed his love for her.

At this moment, Fujii Ren was actually looking at Mary from the other person's perspective.

The audience's perspective was also the same; they could only see the back of the mysterious man in black robes and Mary's front.

The other person was very clear about their feelings at that moment: they were nervous.

There was fear, and also envy... no, perhaps it was hatred.

Aside from his best friend the first time, the second time he felt he didn't want to be ignored by the girl in front of him.

As an insignificant person, he only wanted to avoid going with the flow.

So the embellishment of language is stripped away, making it very vulgar... This person is outspoken when it comes to pursuing women.

Aside from his first and most important friends, he seemed to have become more naive than a young man.

Ah, that's right, he seems like a boy who has just experienced his first love.

This was the second time I had experienced that innocent, youthful feeling, right the moment I met Mary.

Moreover, the feeling of 'terrible'—being unable to control one's own speech—only arises when facing such a feeling.

Even now, [he/she] hasn't realized this, because it's too intense; in the instantaneous heat, it's impossible to distinguish whether it's known or unknown.

This is his/her bittersweet experience of failure.

Therefore, he wanted to share his love for her with her.

Mary looked at [him/her] with innocent, childlike eyes and asked in a questioning tone:

"Who are you?"

Is it Fujii Ren? Or Zarathustra, or the clown character in the dark shadow before us?

(So, you are the third person to me, so please allow me to speak frankly for the third time.)

The first time in my life was to give happiness to me, who was in a cage, as the ultimate salvation, something irreplaceable and something I would never want to lose no matter how many times I reincarnated.

The second time in my life, I actively found happiness within a narrow cage, so no matter how many times I reincarnate, I will never give up on her beauty.

The third time in my life was when I followed my heart and found a second, different friendship, an indispensable presence in countless cycles of reincarnation.

Therefore, the intention is to convey a shared idea, stripping away any pretense or self-deception.

He is...

“I am your slave, Margaret Bruy.”

He placed himself in the lowest position in his relationship with Mary, appearing humble and pitiful, and devoted everything to the goddess in his eyes.

Yes, his vast life has only three unknowns, each of which is enough to make him risk his life like a moth drawn to a flame.

"It is your possession, your power, your alter ego, your puppet that saves you and brings you happiness with your help. This is how I want to live from now on."

"I......"

Fujii Ren unconsciously murmured these words to himself.

So wake up, this is something to be happy about.

[The jewelry I offered to the goddess, for the sake of the 'second person,' please destroy the 'third person.']

Ah, really, really—I want to be proud of having the best redemption, the best woman, and the best ██ (child) and best friend.

The two snakes cannot be severed; they cannot be severed, nor can they be torn apart.

Now, once again, they are entangled more intensely and more deeply than before.

[To get closer to completion, transform, my substitute—my child.]

........

It hurts, that's the first feeling I caught from my body.

Immediately afterwards, Fujii Ren's consciousness slowly floated up from the viscous abyss.

Her eyes slowly opened without her noticing, and what came into view was a ceiling covered in holy gold, and the magnificent and beautiful decorations around her, leaving Fujii Ren still somewhat dazed and confused.

Perhaps it was because I was still groggy after waking up, but I gritted my teeth and waited quietly for the pain to subside little by little.

Everything here was incredibly magnificent, the sacred gold color almost filling his vision. It was precisely because it was so extraordinary that Fujii Ren was still wondering if he was dreaming.

"Uh...ah..."

Fujii Ren didn't lower her voice; she could only groan in pain.

In this situation, they endure the pain while searching for their memories.

Where is this place?

Why did I become like this?

"Awake? It seems the damage to your soul isn't serious."

Suddenly, a familiar voice accompanied a hand landing on Fujii Ren's forehead, a warm and startling touch.

Following the slender arms and the voice, she slowly turned her somewhat rusty neck and saw Skadi sitting on the edge of the bed, blinking at her.

The way the other person touched her was as if they were inquiring about her cold, but the implication was that her injuries were not just physical.

"...Senior...?"

With a dry, stiff throat and aches all over her body, Fujii Ren managed to utter a relatively reassuring sound.

It's great that the first thing I see when I wake up is someone I know, and the fact that my senior is here means that everything is alright.

Because of the relic's rampage, Fujii Ren has forcibly used the quality of Mary's Seeking God. It's understandable that she's in so much pain due to the internal side effects and injuries from the battle.

Looking back on my memories of losing control and unleashing my full power, I realize that I was incredibly strong back then, a strength I can't even imagine now.
