【 Pope's POV 】

"What? They escape?"

"Sadly yes." (Soldier 1)

"Not only they escape but they manage to kill one of our general! While hiding, they keep the granddaughter of that man!"

"From our info, she seems capable of the death and life element also wielding a staff that can summon various things." (Soldier 1)

"What? Life and death? But that is impossible!... The balance of our world will be broken! That child must be killed...”

"Yes sire!" (Soldier 1)

This is getting out of hand.

The war between the light and the undead, it was ten years ago.

We fought against the undead clan, hundreds of people were killed, tortured and turn to slaves.

Our clan hates the undead clan, making the dead rise and using the souls of the dead as a part of their ritual to increase their power. Preposterous, "a wicked clan!" Our goddess utter at my initiation as the pope of the entire light clan.

Thus, to show my great loyalty to the goddess, I make a goal... To destroy the undead clan.

After so many bloodshed, I achieve my goal.

But it never crossed my mind that several survivors live till this day.

I was ashamed, the clan still exist.

"In my name, Xavier Serv, the 35th Pope of the light clan..."

I already swore that I will achieve my goal for the goddess.

"...I will extinguished the evil in this world, in the name of the goddess of time, Aion-sama!"

The goddess of time that gives me the power of 『 Future sight 』, with this power I will kill all those sinners.

【 Veltys POV】

...

Dark...

The room that me and my family gather...

... it was dark.

The emotions and the surroundings are dark...

And after that, my world broke apart...

Seeing my mother with another family makes me jealous, why she can’t show that much affection to her daughter right here rather than giving that unconditional love with a child that was not even hers.

I don't know about father, from what I heard from mother, he is married before he met mother. It was not long after their marriage that mother knows this secret.

Soon after that, their relationship slowly dissipate.

Being the only child of that family, they expect me to become a successful person.

But pressure takes over me and then I slowly began to disobey my parents sometimes.

They divorced....

Father left me with mother because he can't take me to his real family.

After they divorced, mother began to be... emotionless.

She began to cry in her room at night and then be silent every morning.

I began to be dependent on myself, I do all the chores.

One day, mother go out at night wearing a dress.

Her expression seems a little lively so I let her be.

What could possibly happen?

She return home drunk.

Then she go out every night and return drunk the next morning.

I began to worry, I know that she became happier and livelier but she became a drunkard.

Then one day, she didn't come home for five days straight.

She return home after that, I would like to try asking her but there is something about her that change a lot.

I never talk to her.

The next morning, she left me.

I cried... I can't lie about my feelings but, I cried.

I only recovered after a day.

I was already prepared that one day mother would left me too but not this soon.

So, I left that house and find a good apartment and a place to work.

Then after work I play with a gachapon on the train station.

One day, I was hit by a train... Then I travel to another world or reincarnate.

Hmm? Then what happened?

Oh right, I saved my people.

Then what happened next?

"..h...hi...” (???)

Hmm?

I think I heard a voice.

"Hi...me...” (???)

Hime?

That's what the people called me on that world.

They cherished me.

But what if they leave me too?

Would I be sad?

"Hime!" (???)

"Huh?"

My eyes opened and the first thing I saw was...

"Velvet-sensei?"

"...I’m...glad!! *sob." (Velvet)

"Eh?"

Velvet-sensei started to cry.

I felt something warm running on my cheek.

Tears?

Am I crying?

Must be because of that dream.

"Nee~...Velvet-sensei?"

"...*sniff* Hime...*sniff... Didn't wake up... After a...month! We *sob* are all worried!!" (Velvet)

"A month?!"

Was I asleep for a month?

"Velvet-sensei, I'm sorry I got you all worried."

"We're so scared! That Hime won't wake up!" (Velvet)

"I'm sorry... Could you tell everyone.”?

"Right away Hime!" (Velvet)

Velvet-sensei disappeared, and when you look at it, this room doesn't have any door so it must be teleportation.

But, this room?

It's different from the usual room.

Also the red bed, it's so fluffy and this room had so many appliances like a huge wardrobe, there also a small room that maybe leads to the comfort room, two lamps on top of the bed, there also a study table, an empty bookshelf, a fluorescent light, and..

"Is that.... a fridge?"

Where is this place?

I get off of my bed and head towards the window.

"Wha?"

We're moving?

Wait! Is this place my lantern carriage?

"Appear before me! 【 Broken doll : Alice 】"

"Your call! Goshujinsama?" (Alice)

"Can you tell me everything while I was asleep?"

"Then first..." (Alice)

After I lost consciousness, everyone panic.

Then the carriage appear, Gill-san carried me inside.

Though astonished at first, they were teleported inside a room fully decorated.

They place me on the bed.

They also put Merry on a different room on the second floor.

Velvet-sensei was the one in charged to look after me because she was the only person capable right now, seems that the others are still recovering. The men seems to be piloting the carriage with the manual given to them by the carriage.

Then one month passed and I'm still not awaken yet.

"So that's what happened... Then? What about the light clan?"

"After we left the village, reinforcement appeared burning everything." (Alice)

"I'm so glad we escape. Is Merry okay?"

"Merry-san, is still recovering, but she still has the energy to instruct everyone while on her bed." (Alice)

"Huh? How is that possible?"

"The carriage has the function that can broadcast a person's voice in every floor." (Alice)

"Seems like I need to read the manual later."

A magic circle appeared...

"H-HIME!!!!!" (Merry)

"...Merry"

A crying old lady appeared hugging me tightly.
