"..."
"No, I just wanted to ask, how many days have I passed here in total?"
"Everyone else's Armageddon was able to peacefully brush up on their leveling, but as a result, it's all about a speed pass with me?"
"Is that all the time I was given for the first three hundred times?"
[No, actually the time left for the first time was quite enough, according to my records, after your first battle with the Endbringer, you, the host, have lived a peaceful life for at least thirty years].
"Then why was there only six months left after I defeated the Endbringer this time?"
[Because host I interfered with the world too quickly.]
"So the stronger I get, the more attention that what's-his-name Imaginary tree pays to me, and then the less time he has to come over to me in person for a one-on-one fight, right?"
[Right.]
"So what if I just fine soft run now? According to the rules, I should still need to defeat Kevin who became the Final Herrcher right?"
[There's no point, if the host runs away, Kevin Caslana will fulfill his duties that should have belonged to the Herrcher.]
[And because of the host, Kevin Caslana's powers as well as his strength will be strengthened drastically, what this will lead to should be clear to you, the host.]
"Heh, that means I have no choice, right?"
[Yes.]
[After you, the host, killed Ana Schariac, the Herrcher of Ice, your battle with Kevin Caslana was already doomed.]
"You might as well say that the moment I came to this world, my battle with him was predetermined would be better."
[It's fine if the host wants to interpret it that way.]
"Well, I probably have an idea about my duties and what I'm going to do next, now, it's time for you to tell me what you really are."
[Me?]
[I'm just a pathetic person who has to cling to you, the host.]
"Stop, stop, stop, I don't want to hear all this fancy stuff."
[I don't really want to explain it all to you, Host, either, but this is actually the three hundredth time you've asked me about this, Host].
"..."
Should I say no shame?
"Then I'd like to ask, have I gotten a real answer any of these three hundred times?"
[You got the real answer every single time, every single time.]
"..."
After hearing such an answer, this time it was Lu Yu's turn to be silent.
After several minutes, Lu Yu replied, "Seriously, if you were to carry on a conversation with me in this form from the start, then nine times out of ten, I would have just gone straight to Otto and dismantled you, or dismantled myself."
[In that case, Host, you've said it over two hundred times.]
"Huh?"
"I can't believe it's not over three hundred times?"
[Of course, because Host you did try to go through with it like that a couple times.]
"..."
"What were the results?"
[There were no results, those times I forcibly modified the world as well as the host's memories and then put you on the regular path.]
[It was only because you were so suspicious those times host that you did not get more ties to the world itself Schicksal, so the time to lose to the Lord of Void Numbers was extraordinarily fast.]
"If you're going to say that, I'm a bit curious, how fast was it?"
[...]
[Three minutes.]
"Only three minutes, and I can still get a reopening from that what's-his-name Imaginary tree too?"
[Yes, you can, because from the second reincarnation, I have identified the power that I can get that power as one that you, the host, must get after the simulation.]
"Divine Sword Thunder art technique?!!!"
[Yes.]
"..."
"Seriously, if we hadn't gotten along for so long and as of right now you've been helping me instead of harming me, then I would be trying to find a way to tear you down right now."
[Tearing me down won't do you any good, you won't do it.]
[Tear me down, host everything you have will be taken away from you.]
Host, there is only one way for you and I to go, and that is to defeat the Lord of Void Numbers and then completely write the history of this world bubble and even the entire starry sky.
If you don't do that, the girls you hold dear will sooner or later step into that destiny.
"If you go and become a politician, you will definitely succeed, congratulations, although I was skeptical of you until now, you managed to convince me."
[Host, you don't have to praise me, this type of conversation I've had with you ...]
"It's been carried out hundreds of times right?"
"Alright, doubtful, all the circumstances are clear to me, now it's time for us to discuss what to do next."
[Defeat Kevin Kaslana who has been chosen to be the final Herrcher, then travel across this world bubble to the stars to defeat the Tree of Void Numbers that governs this starry sky, that's what you should do next, host].
"No, no, no, I'm not talking about this, but this ..."
Saying that, Lu Yu shook the crystal clear ice and snow gem in his hand.
"You have the power of that writing world now, right? Then you should be able to help me resurrect Anna?"
[It can, but ...]
"But what?"
[Ana Schariac, she's different from the other heroines, she's already met the gods visualized by the Tree of Imaginary tree, so if I want to rewrite her destiny, the current me doesn't have enough power yet].
"I see what you mean, it needs to be simulated right?"
[Yes.]
"Then there's nothing to say, just simulate it once."
[Host, as I just said, Ana Schariac's situation is rather special, so that means that a simulation about her would be exceptionally difficult, and it would also consume a lot of time.]
[Moreover, host, according to the arrangement I gave you, your next simulation heroine should be Delisa Apokalis.]
[Compared to Ana Schariac, Delisa Apokalis can bring you more profit.]
"I'm the host and you're the host? De Emperor's simulation put it on, I know you can just switch this around, change it to Ana's for me."
[Are you sure?]
"Of course I'm sure."
[Just a moment, I need to do some calculations, this is actually the first time you've asked me to do something like this, for Ana Schariac's simulation, you've never done it even once before, Host."]
[One moment ...]
[...]
[The calculations are already out.]
[Host, in my judgment, I highly discourage you from conducting a simulation on Ana Schariac.]
"Why?"
[Because Ana Schariac she has already met ...]
"That's not the why I'm asking, it's why I can't participate in a simulation of Ana Schariac, never mind, just tell me directly, if I have to carry out a simulation of Ana, then what will happen?"
[It would greatly affect the host itself as well as the world itself.]
[Host, your purpose is not actually to participate in a simulation, but to bring Ana Schariac back from the dead, in reality, simply conducting a simulation of Ana Schariac would not do anything, but once I am required to unleash my power to modify Ana Schariac's destiny, then it would inevitably alert the Lord of Imaginary tree]
[If my expectation is correct, host you only need to complete the simulation of Ana Schariac, and then Ana Schariac's fate is rewritten, Kevin Caslana will then be forcefully infused with everything about you within hours or even tens of minutes just like Ana Schariac, and then come to you and fight with you.]
"Hiss ..."
"As an aside, can I beat Kevin?"
[Yes, after completing Ana Schariac's simulation, my interference in this world will reach a peak that has never been seen before, in other words, I can give more power to you, the host, and at that point, it won't be particularly tough for the host to win against Kevin Kaslana].
"That's fine."
[But host, please note that after defeating Kevin Caslana, because of the reformation of Ana Schariac's destiny, you, host, might immediately face the Lord of Imaginary tree head-on].
"?????"
"Six months are gone?"
[Yes.]
"Good lord, this is driving me nuts!"
[So with that said, I highly discourage the host from performing Ana Schariac's simulation, the host could have performed Delisa Apokalis's simulation exactly as it was originally set up, and after completing the simulation and defeating Kevin Kaslana, the host would still have plenty of time to perform more simulations to gain even more power].
"..."
"Let me ask, if I don't perform Ana's simulation, then is there any chance of her coming back to life?"
[...]
This time, the system did not speak.
Ana Schariac, she was different from those true Schicksal children, she was just a tragic girl who was originally chosen to be a Herrcher.
In other words, no one would care about her past, her future, or anything about her, so naturally, she wouldn't be given the chance to be reborn.
[Ana Schariac.]
[She.]
[Not the heroine.]
After hearing the system give such an answer, Lu Yu was first stunned, then Lu Yu smiled.
"System, I remember, you just said that I've never tried a simulation against Ana Schariac before right."
[Yes.]
"Then, this time, let me try."
"This time, I want to try saving a so-called minor character."
"Come to think of it, the World Bubble is also a world, and anyone should have the right to survive."
[Host, are you sure about this?]
"I'm sure. Ana isn't the heroine you're talking about, but to this me, she's no different from those other so-called heroines."
"Kiana, Meiko, they are heroines. Can't Ana be a heroine for once?"
"Come on, set the next simulation heroine for me as Ana Schariac."
"Isn't it just a straight boss fight after the simulation ends, it doesn't matter, big deal, I'll just die and do it again."
[Good ...]
[Since the host has already made a decision, the heroine of the next simulation will be modified to be Ana Schariac."]
"When will it start?"
[In about twenty-four hours.]
"What's taking so long?"
[This simulation is of great significance, in order to ensure that I get the maximum interference, I need to prepare the most appropriate world bubble for this simulation.]
"In that case, then you prepare it. Just call me when it's ready."
Twenty-four hours was just right.
As a time to talk to one's beloved girls, or to confess everything to them, these twenty-four hours were enough.
Well, almost, it was also time to confess everything to everyone.
After leaving the empty classroom, Lu Yu easily found Rita, who was chatting with Durandal in the garden, after searching around St. Freya's Academy.
"Rita, Bianka."
While greeting them, Lu Yu arrived in front of the two girls.
"Lord Lu Yu."
Seeing Lu Yu walk over, Rita nodded.
"Bianka? What a familiar name."
Thinking of that suspected dream place not too long ago, Durandal first froze, then she too nodded her head at Lu Yu.
"Rita, and Bianka, you two, do you have time tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow?"
"Of course there is time."
"There is."
"Then, tomorrow's noon, would you like to have a meal together?"
Hearing Lu Yu say that, Rita was a little curious.
"Lord Lu Yu, what are you planning to do?"
"Nothing, just want to gather everyone together and then share something with everyone ..."
Rita: "..."
After a few seconds.
Rita: "It seems that you have something very important you want to tell us, right?"
"Yes. So, will you two be here tomorrow?
"If you have said so, then naturally I will come, as for Lord Durandal ..."
Saying that, Rita looked at Durandal.
"I will also come, although I'm not sure what exactly you want to say, but it just so happens that I also have something I want to talk to you about."
Lu Yu nodded, "Then it's a deal."
"Good!"
"Uh-huh."
After receiving Rita and Durandal's reply, Lu Yu walked towards other directions after saying goodbye to the two.
And when Lu Yu had gone far away, Durandal also inquired about Rita.
"Rita, what do you think, what kind of thing would he be looking for us to talk about?"
"..."
Rita was first silent for a while, and then, a faint trace of worry surfaced on her face. With Rita's understanding of Lu Yu, she was only afraid that, what Lord Lu Yu said would not be anything easy.
After all, she had accompanied Lu Yu all the way to his death in the simulation, and Rita remembered some of Lu Yu's habits very clearly.
With the kind of tone and expression Lu Yu had just had, it was clear that the man seemed to be going for heroics again.
"Lord Durandal, I'm not sure what matters Lord Lu Yu would say."
Rita shook her head, she decided to go and talk to Gong Ming, this senior sister of hers should know something.
"Lord Durandal, I can think of some other things I have to do, so I'll excuse myself for now. ..."
