Lucy died right in front of me.
With her last breath, she made a statement that brought several memories flooding through my head.
I remembered so many scenes of my favorite Novel, where the exact same words were mentioned.
"Hero, please save us."
Those words carried more weight than any other.
'I'm… such an idiot.'
Even though I had read the T.W.T.S.S. Light Novel several times—witnessing various tragedies that occurred in the book—why had I become so complacent?
This wasn't a world of fun and games. It wasn't the ideal fantasy setting.
No, it was a place riddled with war and chaos—a world where death was the norm.
Yet…
'I didn't think things through…'
What had I been doing?
Fooling around and trying to impress everyone else while neglecting the core essence of this world, what kind of joke was that?
In the end, my negligence had caused this.
