Sarak.

bed and computer.

In addition, the sound of turning the pages of a book resonates in the space decorated with simple household items.

『Question.』

A string appeared that disturbed the eyes of the man who was reading a book.

Sarak.

Even so, the man was just sitting and concentrating as if his job was to just flip through the book.

『Guilty?』

However, the hand that was carelessly turning the page had no choice but to stop its movement in the string that was connected.

A word that means guilt. Yes, it’s just one word.

But the meaning contained in it was perfectly clear.

After staring at the string with emotionless eyes for a while, the man barely opened his mouth to answer.

“… … I know. The fact that I did something bad”

He put the book down for a moment, then raised his head and looked up at the sky.

It was full of texts that only he could see.

『Restart.』

The moment I asked for a re-challenge for countless failures and the moment I made a choice.

『Restart.』

『Restart.』

『Restart.』

Such strings were already full enough to cover the eyes.

And the only other of those strings is one.

『Sacrifice.』

The man stared blankly at the string for a while, then turned his gaze back to the string that had recently appeared before his eyes.

『Guilty?』

The question of whether you feel guilty. A question that has never been asked before.

“Ain.”

The man is Oz Quo Vadis, who has been exhausted by turning countless times. In other words, ‘Ain’.

Having carved an indelible history into his soul, he said with a gloomy expression.

“Unfortunately.”

remember

The end of what he had done, the result of the choice he had made by losing his purpose and being buried in the means.

of the tragedy he caused.

“That memory won’t disappear even if I die and turn to dust.”

Oz muttered as he closed the book.

how can i forget The moment when you finally won.

The figure of Janus who disappeared while holding a sneer while looking at his choice. Those bloodshot eyes that looked like one’s own reflection in the mirror.

“But Ain, that’s the same for you. You know what your faithful servant now looks like and what he intends to do.”

Unfortunately, the answer to Oz’s thorny question has not returned.

Oz murmured with a wry smile at the answer that didn’t come back.

“We have already sinned. So we shouldn’t be blaming ourselves, we should take responsibility for it.”

“Yes… … .”

Before he knew it, Oz, who started turning the pages of the book again, saw a boy with a weak figure appearing in front of him.

second to last.

Ain, who was in the form of a weak boy, said to Oz who came to the modern Earth.

Ask for Thanatos.

But at the same time he lied.

He said he didn’t know what Thanatos was thinking.

there is no way you don’t know

What would the existence that filled his void be decorating by repeating his evil deeds until now?

I knew everything. I knew, but I couldn’t speak.

If you say that, it will be greedy.

“It would be better to prepare soon.”

Oz’s words made the boy cry. He remembers Thanatos’ expression as he looked at himself as he was dying.

I know what a wounded angel wants.

I know but… … .

“I will also make up my mind.”

I couldn’t just let that aspiration come true.

* * *

“Damn the hell of a bunch.”

The church bastards still stand in the way between me and Arietta.

These bastards don’t even think I’m a member of the leadership team anymore.

It is forbidden to enter. Anyone who sees it will know that I am the truth.

uh? I just, huh? is the king Are you there? these kids?

“For the sake of the saintess, please refrain from getting close for a while.”

“No, because I have something important to say.”

“You can just tell me. I will deliver it for you.”

“… … I have nothing to say to you.”

“I’m sorry.”

bang.

Olivia roughly slams the door of the lead room.

This kid is climbing more and more. I’ll make you realize what power is later.

“ha… … .”

I’m tired.

Come to think of it, I was also losing my mind.

In such a state, I was ordered to celebrate in front of the lead room while listening only to stories that would intensify this fatigue.

My life is so bleak that I’m about to cry. That was when I was sighing in front of the door.

“Come to think of it… … .”

clap.

Olivia Blue’s contemptuous eyes were visible through the gap in the door that was open again. What else is this bastard trying to say with such rhyme?

Even just yesterday, I feel bad because I suffered from that.

“Professor Justitia escaped from prison this morning.”

“… … What?”

“Jailbreak. I never thought I would do that. You’d better be careful.”

“Why do you keep saying such important things like that?”

“Enough then.”

clap.

The door closes again.

What the hell are you doing?

You’re not doing it on purpose to f*ck me, are you?

“ha… … .”

Anyway, jailbreak is a big deal.

I never thought I’d be so angry.

What should I do if he comes to me with a knife soon? Should I hit it once?

“Hmm, hmm.”

“Ouch! I’m surprised… … .”

At the moment I was startled by the sudden voice.

When I turned my head, I saw an old man standing there.

“Who, who are you?”

I am the king, but since the other person is an adult, I say respectful words.

And seeing that he has a strange sense of incongruity, he is not an ordinary old man.

I’ve seen him with Tia, so he must be no ordinary person.

“I am the postman of love.”

“… … .”

The world’s most unreliable answer came back.

Isn’t this a scammer?

It seems that the other day, Tia also had a strange wind… … .

“Take this.”

“This?”

“It’s a love letter.”

“… … .”

I open the note the old man gave me and check the contents.

The note had a simple map and a short sentence written on it.

its content is.

-Oz This is my last chance for you. Will you come find me or leave me? you decide

It was a very romantic letter.

* * *

Justitia was stretching in the middle of a deserted forest.

She escaped from the lead building. I could have just waited a few days, but I headed in the direction my emotions pointed.

An immature act for a warrior.

But it was an understandable act for someone in love.

She’s going to settle Oz here today. No, even if it’s a decision, it doesn’t change much.

It’s just her way of getting an answer anyway.

In <Skientia>, fights are not allowed in principle. However, Justitia persuaded Tia.

Listen to Justitia’s words and feelings.

Tia finally had no choice but to nod her head with a confused expression.

because I could understand Because it’s something someone had to do.

That’s why Tia decided to tolerate the battle between the two.

Upon hearing that answer, Justitia nodded with a sad smile.

The moment I’ve been waiting for so long.

“Yeah, you came.”

“Because I thought you had to come.”

Oz finally appeared.

Justitia smiled at Oz.

At first, I was angry like a fire that I would cut it off, but after I calmed down to a certain extent, on the contrary, I sank coldly.

she likes oz

Yes, that alone cannot be denied.

The one who saw her as a simple person, not a hero.

The one who lifted the curse on her, who was striding towards death.

It wasn’t a big reason, but it was enough of a reason to love people.

“Oz, I mean. I like you. I like it very much too.”

“… … I know.”

“I really, madly love you enough to burn my whole life for you.”

I didn’t know that love could be so uncontrollable.

The emotion that was close to simple curiosity gradually grew to the point where I couldn’t control it as I met and watched and watched how they worked.

That heart is now more terrifying than the [Demon King], or even the [Black Dragon].

Even knowing that Eleanor liked Oz, he didn’t hesitate. Because I didn’t want to miss it.

“I was rejected several times at important moments.”

She has actively expressed her love for Oz, to the extent that anyone can see it blatantly.

However, Oz has been refusing it, citing one reason or another.

“At first, I wondered if I was unattractive.”

Maybe that’s why I was rejected, I stayed up all night thinking about it.

It was her concern, not the hero who did not show it to others.

“But it wasn’t. No, I came to think of it.”

I came to think that Oz was just serious.

I could see that he wasn’t enjoying the situation surrounded by so many women, but was seriously thinking about it.

The mindset was lovely too.

“I mean No matter which one of us you choose, we intend to understand and accept you.”

Because he knew that others loved him just as much as he did.

Because I could understand that heartbreaking feeling. He said that even if he couldn’t bless him, he would be able to understand.

“therefore?”

The words that Justitia uttered as she jumped from the tree carried a tremendous weight.

“Is that your answer?”

“… … .”

It’s not just making one person happy, it’s making everyone happy.

The words are plausible, but when you look at the facts, it is easy to see how absurd they are.

That could lead to an unfortunate ending for everyone.

“Oz, if you’re smart enough you know what that means.”

“Yeah.”

Oz’s choice is precarious.

The more people who love him, the more the number of people who accept that love increases.

every single moment.

There will always be people who will be hurt.

It would have been different if I had professed to love only one person.

Of course, there may have been people who didn’t give up on Oz.

But Oz left a precedent. If there is a precedent, there can be a second or a third.

“Baekyang, Miss Lucia, and even the saintess. But those three aren’t all, are they? There will be more than that.”

Eleanor is there right now.

she has herself There are other people who have a crush on Oz.

The person who went to one person like that turned into two, three, four, five, six.

It is clear that the more it increases, the more new scars will be engraved.

“Did you decide to do that?”

“Yeah.”

Oz made no excuses.

I just nodded calmly and affirmed Justitia’s words.

he decided to Even knowing how risky it is.

The reason for this was because he was too deeply involved in their lives.

self-employed. That’s why I thought I had no choice but to take responsibility until the end.

Justitia sent a cold glance at Oz’s answer.

“So what if one of those loved ones says no? What if I asked you not to look at others and only love yourself?”

“I can’t.”

“Then will you fill it?”

“… … I do not know.”

I will try to get my mind back.

Perhaps he would do that, Oz thought implicitly.

There was something to know about it.

what is the next question

yes… … .

“Then what do you think if there is a kid who says he wants to kill that heart and grab a piece of you?”

“… … .”

“Oz.”

Justitia drew her sword.

An ordinary sword, not a holy sword, a rough heart lifted by a person named Justitia, not a warrior.

“The answer you give will inevitably hurt people.”

Justitia did not just oppose polygamy. If it’s a king, if it’s a monarch, there can be enough.

However, I thought that the feeling of love was a hindrance to such a relationship.

love everyone?

At the same time, it also means turning away from everyone’s heart.

“If you go that far, can you be confident that you will be with everyone?”

But Oz walks that path.

If so, shouldn’t someone tell me at least one person?

“Then hold on, Oz. I will be the worst ending for you.”

What kind of disaster Oz’s choice could bring?

What great hardships followed the path he chose to walk.

Yeah, something someone had to say.

What kind of road Oz can face, what is on the road and how to solve it.

Someone has to check.

“Love only me, otherwise kill me here and go.”

So, she decided to take on that cruel and sad role.
