Re:Zero: Starting from the Great Transformation

Two years have passed, and this place is still no different from before.

Traces of war can be seen everywhere.

After all, not many people come here.

"Okay, next..."

My gaze fell towards the outskirts of Shalia.

Although I should go home and rest after the long journey, I am an immortal demon after all, and I am full of energy now.

It is not too late.

Just go to Rudeus and explain the situation.

Speaking of which, watching me die before his eyes must have been a heavy psychological burden for Rudeus. But besides him, I had no one else to turn to, so he had to bear the brunt of the situation.

I wonder how he would feel when he saw me resurrected?

I wouldn't cry on the spot.

That would be so embarrassing.

Although he wasn't such a strong person to begin with.

……

Think so.

I have arrived at the mansion on the outskirts of Shalia.

I had been here before when Rudeus got married, and also once before leaving, so I was pretty familiar with the place.

Then again.

For some reason, I feel like there's a gloomy atmosphere surrounding this mansion.

Is it my illusion...

Thinking of this, I knocked on the door.

"Boom boom boom——"

A series of small footsteps were heard from behind the door.

Soon, the door opened.

"Huh? Is that Mr. Ron?"

A girl with short reddish-brown hair appeared behind the door.

The moment he saw me, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Long time no see, Aisha."

I squatted down a little, smiled, and rubbed Aisha's head.

The latter pursed his lips.

Do not know why.

Her expression looked a little lost.

"I'm here to look for Rudeus. Isn't he home?"

"No."

"Is that so... Is there anyone else at home?"

"Sister Sylphy isn't here either."

Are both of them not here?

It's really an unfortunate coincidence that I came here. Could it be that we've been to a world of two?

Aisha hesitated for a moment and whispered:

"Sylphy-sister left suddenly some time ago, saying that she had to go help Ariel-sama. After Sylphy-sister left, brother left too, and they haven't been back for a long time."

Help Ariel...

Could it be that now is the time for the battle for the throne of the Asura Kingdom?

I thought about it for a moment and felt that the timing was right.

In other words, in the two years since I died, Rudeus has already decided to become Orsted's subordinate after a series of events, just like in the original story, and help Ariel ascend to the throne...

That should be the case.

But if you put it this way...

"Isn't Lokisi home either?"

I asked casually.

And after hearing my question.

Aisha suddenly pursed her lips and lowered her head with a gloomy expression.

"Sister Luo Qixi..."

"what?"

"She passed away six months ago."

"……Um?"

Chapter 136: The Wrong World

Wait until I come to my senses.

I just noticed that it snowed in Shalia today.

Snowflakes rustled across the ground, wrapped in a cold wind, casting a chilling shadow over the city. Aisha led me to a cemetery in the suburbs, in front of a certain tombstone.

Someone's name is written on the tombstone.

Lokisi Migludia Greyrat.

Empty wine bottles were scattered in front of the tombstone.

Before my eyes, I seemed to see a scene of a man leaning against a tombstone, crying and drinking. In the end, the drunk man staggered away, leaving only a mess on the ground.

"Sister Luo Qixi's symptoms appeared a year ago."

Aisha was holding a baby who was about two years old in her arms.

The baby blinked his bright red eyes and stared at me, so adorable.

That's Sylphy's daughter.

After Sylphy left, Aisha has been taking care of her.

"It started as a mild feeling of discomfort, but it progressed to a fever that made it impossible to get out of bed."

Aisha said softly.

"My brother sought help everywhere, and finally, after kneeling down and begging Lord Pergius, he confirmed that Sister Lokisi was suffering from the Magic Stone Disease, which could only be cured by divine-level detoxification magic."

"A lot happened during the quest to obtain the god-level detoxification magic... Sister Roxy's condition continued to worsen, starting with her toes turning into purple stone, then her fingers, and then her entire body..."

"By the time my brother returned with his god-level detoxification magic, Sister Luo Qixi had already..."

Aisha didn't say anything else.

I also stared at Luo Qixi's tombstone in amazement.

Loki is dead.

How is this possible?

What about the power of destiny?

What about the savior who is destined to be born?

What is Orsted doing?

I once believed that even without my existence, Rudeus was destined to be happy, because that was how the original work ended after experiencing various events and finally ushering in a happy ending.

To avoid hindering such an outcome.

That's why I didn't want to interfere too much in Rudeus' life.

After all, I am just an outsider to a story like that.

It is an interferer, an external factor.

It shouldn't exist.

But why did Roxy die of the magic stone disease?

In the original work, Rudius should have received a warning from his future self before opening the basement door according to the instructions of the human god, thus ushering in a turning point in his life.

He will become Orsted's subordinate and fight to protect his family...

I think so.

However, Lokisi died.

Something that shouldn't have happened and couldn't have happened, just happened.

I staggered and collapsed to the ground.

"Mr. Ron, are you okay?"

Aisha asked with concern.

I shook my confused head, and countless questions kept intertwining in my mind, like a time bomb constantly beating. In the end, these questions and doubts came together and turned into four words.

Future Diary.

Is there a possibility...

It's just speculation, but...

The timeline I am in is not the timeline in the original work.

But is it the "Future Diary" timeline where Rudeus, who took the tragic fate of the real Rudeus and ended his own life with time magic? ! !

"..."

I was careless.

When I first came to this world, I tried to confirm the timeline I was in.

After confirming the existence of Rudeus, I never had any doubts about the fact that "this is the orthodox timeline where Rudeus is located."

However, I overlooked a key issue.

The Future Diary timeline and the original timeline...

All that's missing is a future diary.

"It was my fault."

I muttered to myself subconsciously.

"If...if I were still alive when all this happened, I would have been able to guide Rudeus to make the right choice. I was careless. I didn't realize that Future Diary doesn't exist in this world..."

"I shouldn't have died..."

Two years.

In just less than two years.

I missed the opportunity to change Rudeus' life, and everything became irreversible.

This is all my fault...

"Mr. Ron, are you okay?"

Aisha looked at me with concern and tried to reach out and pull me up.
