Chaldea, the world of Type-Moon
"How could this be..." The sentimental Mashu's eyes were already red, and she couldn't bear to look at the cruel scene in front of her. She turned her head away with a slight tremor.
Seiya's roaring appearance, Tiana's desperate eyes, and the Demon King's nauseating grin—every fragment of it burrowed into my heart.
Now, when I think back to those ridiculously exaggerated moves by Cautious Hero, I just feel a lump in my throat...
He wasn't guarding against monsters at all.
They were clearly desperately trying to plug every crack that could allow the tragedy to repeat itself.
With his own caution, he built a seemingly exaggerated but incredibly solid barrier for those around him.
Dr. Roman shook his head helplessly and sighed deeply: "I can't imagine, the heroes back then must have felt despair!"
Let's see who stands in that position.
Watching helplessly as the person you love most is tortured before your eyes, even the unborn child in your womb becomes a laughingstock of the devil, while you feel like you're nailed to the ground, without even the strength to lift your hand.
The thought "I could have" becomes the sharpest knife, torturing Seiya's nerves day and night!
If I had leveled up enough beforehand, if I had found out the Demon King's abilities, if I hadn't let her come along...
The thought that "I could have done better" is enough to drive even the strongest person crazy a hundred times, a thousand times.
Fujimaru Ritsuka also felt uneasy at this moment: "No wonder he has lived his life like a taut string, always on high alert at the slightest disturbance."
After all, nobody wants to experience that feeling of having their heart ripped out and crushed, and then having to watch helplessly as it's crushed.
Be careful in the brave world
"I thought I had really... really turned into one of those naive, perverted, and obsessive women... but it turns out..."
Lisda's voice trembled like a candle flickering in the wind. Tears had long since breached the defenses of her eyes, rolling down her cheeks and into the corners of her mouth, salty and bitter.
She raised her hand to wipe away her tears, but her fingertips froze the moment they touched her burning cheek. The fragments she had desperately suppressed in her heart were frantically piecing themselves back together.
No wonder I was infatuated with Seiya from the first moment I saw him, and I could never maintain my goddess demeanor in front of him. I even fantasized like a perverted nymphomaniac.
It turns out that those were never illusions, but rather a familiarity etched deep within the soul...
“Ryuguuin Seiya, you were never just a cautious hero, but my…” The title he had kept hidden for so long stuck in his throat, trembling with tears in his eyes.
Before she could finish speaking, Ariadya pulled her into a tight embrace. Ristarte could feel her shoulders trembling violently, and warm tears slid down her neck and into her collar.
"I'm sorry...it's all my fault..."
Ariadne's voice choked with sobs, tears streaming down her face, soaking Ristarte's blonde hair: "It's all my fault, I failed in my duty as a goddess."
Upon hearing this, Ristarte burst into tears in Ariadne's arms as if venting her frustration. The two goddesses embraced and wept in the empty Temple of the Oracle.
“Um…” Just then, a simple and honest voice broke in. The sword god Serseus held a square object and carefully moved it in front of the two of them.
"If you feel unwell, eating something sweet will make you feel better."
"...You should keep your protein powder cake for yourself, Lord Serseus!!"
Lisda hurriedly wiped away her tears, her cheeks still streaked with tears, but her eyes suddenly lit up with an astonishing brightness, like a shooting star that had suddenly found its target.
Before she finished speaking, she had already rushed out like a gust of wind, her long golden hair drawing an arc in the air, and her skirt sweeping across the ground, creating a gentle breeze.
It's not too late!
The hero hasn't been summoned yet, but Seiya's name is definitely still on the list. This time, she will never let him bear all the burdens alone again, and she will never let regrets repeat themselves!
Gaia Brand, an S-rank otherworldly being, right?
This time, let this "cautious goddess" lead the way!
"Thank you so much, Serseus..." As she watched Ristarte walk away, Ariadne wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes: "Your cake was a great help."
The Sword God Uncle stared silently at the cake in his hands. Had he really helped? But you hadn't even eaten the cake yet...

Another World Quartet World
"This truth is so heavy it's almost suffocating..." After learning the truth, Kazuma's nonchalant tone was suppressed into a heavy sigh.
The reason for the cautious hero's morbid obsession with desecrating corpses, his overly intense reactions to HP and MP, and his unbelievably cautious personality has also been found.
However, no one expected that the price of "growing up" would be so devastating...
Subaru looked down at his palm: "Now I understand why Seiya was so angry when he saw Rosalie's behavior."
It turns out that behind those actions that they criticized as being crazy were all apologies that they couldn't say in their previous lives.
Kazuma chuckled, but there was no sarcasm in his voice; instead, there was a hint of bitterness in his tone: "We used to laugh at him for his insane last-hitting skills, but now that we think about it..."
Tanya sighed almost inaudibly: "I'm afraid the hole wasn't properly mended in the previous life, and it's still bleeding in this one."
Old Bone slowly spoke, "In every morbid state lies a fear of losing something again."
For once, the group didn't complain anymore. They just stared blankly at the deepening twilight outside the window. The details that were once considered "funny" now felt like sharp shards of glass.
It pierced their hearts deeply...
"Ugh--"
Four souls from different worlds are now gripped by the same heavy regret.
Only now do I understand that some obsessions are never something we are born with, but rather scars etched into our very bones that even reincarnation cannot wash away.
"Waaah...waaah...waaah..." Ristarte clutched her chest tightly with both hands, soft sobs escaping between her fingers, warm liquid streaming down her cheeks.
She opened her mouth to inhale, but her throat felt like it was stuffed with hot cotton; she could only gasp for breath, each breath a sharp, stabbing pain in her heart.
“This isn’t Seiya’s fault…” Ariadne was already sobbing uncontrollably, filled with self-reproach: “If only we had gone to the Village of Sages and learned the Demon King’s secret, this would have been so much better. This is the responsibility I, as the goddess in charge, should bear…”
Lisda stood frozen in place, her pupils empty, only tears streaming down her face like a broken string of pearls. Her heart felt as if it were being gripped by an invisible hand, being torn apart with all its might.
"Help! Why didn't anyone tell me that such a ridiculous experience would lead to such a heartbreaking story?!"
"So why are those people in the Village of Sages keeping the Demon King's secret? Wouldn't it be better to spread it throughout the entire continent...?"
Seeing Ristarte sobbing uncontrollably, everyone felt incredibly sad. This goddess of facial expressions was only supposed to be silly and goofy, so why did she have to go through such a tragic experience?!
"Is it the awakening of memories stored in the soul, Ristarte?" Ishida looked at the group and directly revealed the long-buried truth.
"Princess Tiana, whom Ryuguuin Seiya couldn't save... was you before you were reincarnated as a goddess."
"It wasn't a coincidence that you chose Gaiabrand this time; fate must have brought you two together!"
[Of course, like Ristarte, Ryuguuin Seiya doesn't remember his past, but even so, the regret of not being able to save his comrades back then is imprinted on his soul.]
"This is the image that child saw back then." Isista raised her hand and summoned the image from when Seiya first called out the panel.
The above content is very simple, consisting of only a few short sentences...
Be cautious, be extremely cautious. Even if we are rejected and disliked, we must see this through to the end! This time, we must save the world, our friends, and the people who are important to us.
"I'm moved to tears. These are the words of the cautious hero etched into his DNA! All the regret of not being able to do anything last time is condensed into this one sentence..."
The words on the screen were like a boulder crashing into everyone's heart, stirring up turbulent waves. Even the air outside the video seemed frozen, and breathing felt heavy and astringent.
The kind of remorse that burns the soul cannot be summed up by the word "pain" alone...
It's like wanting to grab your past self and beat them up, wanting to break time into pieces and piece it back together, wanting to scream your regrets out at the empty ruins until your throat bleeds.
Who hasn't experienced the regret of "almost"?
An opportunity that was almost seized, a person that was almost kept, a mistake that was almost avoided—but the price of Sacred's "almost" is losing everything.
That's why he ingrained "caution" into his very being, turning him into a freak in the eyes of others.
Chapter 1297 "Heavenly Prison Gate", Unleashing a Powerful Move!
After learning the whole truth, Ristarte immediately decided to go to the Demon King's castle, even though the Demon King now possessed the power to kill gods, she didn't care at all.
"Are you going to open the gate at the final battleground deep within the Demon King's castle?" Isisda's calm voice held a barely perceptible sigh: "This has already exceeded the scope of a goddess's assistance."
“It doesn’t matter.” Ristarte raised her hand and swept it through the air, gradually revealing a teleportation array. “I will accept whatever punishment I am given.”
Matthew and Elulu insisted on going, as Seiya had saved their lives...
The three of them thus boarded the portal to the final destination together, knowing they wouldn't be of much use there, but determined not to let Seiya die alone.
[Upon stepping out of the teleportation portal, the expected Demon King's castle did not appear. Instead, there was a dark space around them, so deep that it was impossible to tell up from down, and even breathing felt difficult.]
[Lisda bent over, panting heavily, her forehead instantly covered in cold sweat: "This feeling... it really is the Chain Soul Destruction."]
In the darkness, she could almost hear the crisp sound of swords clashing in the distance. There was no mistake; this was the deepest part of the Demon King's castle, the final battlefield!
"Although Ristarte doesn't usually provide any proper goddess assistance, it's really going too far to open a portal directly to the Demon King's hometown."
When they saw Ristarte and the other two stumble and fall as they made their way to the final battle, everyone sighed with a pang of sympathy, but no one could bring themselves to say goodbye.
If it were anyone else, faced with a memory etched into their soul, who could obediently stand in the safe zone and wait for the outcome?
What is more agonizing than death is waiting for a known inevitable end.
Gintama World
“So touching…050 is so touching…” Inside the Shinsengumi headquarters, Kondo Isao was biting his handkerchief, tears streaming down his honest face.
"This spirit of risking everything for one's comrades... it's just like... just like how I was when I was following Ms. Tae!!"
The entire Shinsengumi turned their heads in unison, displaying faces as cold as Antarctic icebergs: "No, Chief, that was just simple stalking."
