Vol 5 Epilogue (1/2)

Epilogue: Neverending

Part 1

“Hey Steph, what is love?”

“That topic again? Isn’t it over -”

“I seeirl”

“Huh?”

Steph told herself to calm down

Within Steph’s office where she continued to busy herself with

national affairs, Sora, shi+ro and Jibril suddenly appeared

After which Sora ian with that line

Mm, I see

Even after she calmed down, she still didn’t understand

anything

“Is your mental state in order?”

- At that point Jibril began explaining

“The Seirenes are a very fertile race - especially the Empress,

she can probably have a child with just a few strands of hair

froain you

can probably tell why they’re such a peaceful race”

But then Steph asked, fighting back a surfacing headache:

“- T-that’s not the iirl?”

“I did say it was a girl, but since it’s a Seirenes, she can’t

coo visit her,

which is why I’ over whether or not I should

go - could this be paternal love?”

- Steph had witnessed a miracle

- The virgin appeared to be exuding paternal love

“No point ingoing”

“No, but that’s hter!?”

“To be precise, the Empress had acquired an extremely small

amount of Spirits from the Master’s hair and created a clone

of the Empress (Leila) from itso basically that’s how

Seirenes 「Reproduce」”

In the midst of the chaos, Izuna appeared

- She had a huge fish in herfemale Seiren

“S-sora, there’s a tiny little Seiren here, des”

The first word from the tiny Seiren’s mouth was:

“----Papa?”

- Sora felt an electric shock pierce him

“Aaaahhhh, hhhhhh!”

Just as Sora dashed up in an atte her, shi+ro punched

him

“Funny, the Seirenes shouldn’t be able to come out of the

water”

“That guy called Plum came as well, des”

“Ahis it the ic of the Dhampirbut if you don’t place

her in water fast, she’ll die!”

“Steph! Get a bucket immediately! Ah, there’s a pond in the

courtyard, right! Will that work!?”

“Anything! Could you all please settle this outside!? Or could

you actually do some work!!”

Looking at the chaotic office, Jibril began thinking alone

There were Iel, Werebeasts, and - even the

Seirenes and Dhampirs

- They weren’t quarreling

Azrael - and even Avant Heie as well

Everything in the world was slowly but surely transfor

into so impossible to happen after the creation of the

「Ten Pledges」- no, even so impossible before it

And it was centered around her two Masters -

“The day that the Masters’ Bible finally becomes a

legenddoesn’t seem to be very far off”

Jibril nodded in confirmation, and added to the Bible - to her

observational diary of Sora and shi+ro one single sentence

--~~ Year ~~ Month ~~ Day - Master gave birth as a virgin -

Part 2

- The capital of Elven Gard, the Nilvalen residences

“I lose again”

Kuraames with Fii, and took out

her notebook

“Kurami, you don’t seem to be as adamant nohen you

lose huh?”

“How could I not be ada this”

Kura doas

the reasons as to why she lost

That notebook dictated all the patterns and strategies she could

have predicted but didn’t

Since the day she played chess against Sora, she had filled in

fifty copies of the same notebook within half a month

- Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for an

Iic

So - she would have to find an abnormal way to win

Looking at that steadily growing pile of notebooks - Fii felt

happy at Kurarowth

“- Ah, Kurami, some information (secrets) just arrived, let’s

pause for a while”

Fii said, then touched the Spirit Gem on her forehead

Calling the infor on other

countries through the 「Elemental Corridor Network」 secrets

was really an exceptional act of hypocrisy

Kuraht, but as she heard the

information - Fii widened her eyes in shock

“Fii, what is it? Eency?”

“Ah, it’s notit’s just hard to believe”

She then uttered that piece of news in disbelief

“Sora-san and the others et Oceande - the

Seirenes and Dhampirs to join the Elkian Federation”

- Is that so? Kurami smiled and

asked, but then Fii continued:

“And the 「Council of the Eighteen Wings」 of Avant Heim

decided - to join the Elkian Federation as well”

- I see, that’s so to be surprised about, Kurami smiled

and said

Like that, after the Werebeasts, the Seirenes, Dhampirs and

finally the Flügel were serving under the Imanity now

Sora and shi+ro were co an impossible task at an

impossibly fast rate, which caused Fii to feel puzzled, but -

”They’re faster than we thought, let’s pack up our luggages

quickly then”

“Kurao?”

Fii see sadly: Did you not share information

with hed

“Of course not, Fii, didn’t I say it was predicting? Their

tactic is 「Adapting to the situation」 anyway”

- If their aim was merely to annex all the races, it was only a

matter of time

“The problem is - they’re too fast”

“Yeah, exactly”

- Yes, they were too fast - if only the Seirenes and Dhampirs

(Oceande) were involved, they would probably be ignored But

after the Eastern Federation, if Avant Heim were to be

annexed, the situation would be viewed completely differently

In a short ti

race

- The Elves, the Dwarves and other important nations would

probably stop surveying the situation and would begin

heightening their guard

They would finally begin an assault against Elkia - but - no

problem

“We seeuess there really

was a reward for us rushi+ng through all that”

“What I wanted to say was you’re trying too hard -”

Despite that, Fii s up, then -

“Alright Fii, let’s go, I iine on’t be back here any

time soon -”

“Heh, if they really succeed it would be a world-changing

piece of nee can’t very well miss it”

Leaving the Nilvalen residences, walking along the path they

wouldn’t be able to return to for a long time, Fii asked:

“Kura you mentioned before - what’s the

「So else」?”

Although Fii already had an answer, she still asked

“- It’s not to tell lies, he doesn’t lie because he doesn’t lie to

himself”

Fii appeared as if she knew long ago, and she smiled as she

merely confirmed this

- “I’m at my limit”, “This is below me” ords he would

die before saying

- Because the person who had given the puppet (himself) life

ay beyond that

- Because lying to hi

humanity (his sister)

Suddenly, 「His」 ideals surfaced within her head, and

Kurami smiled and said:

“Fii, do you know the cos use to

achieve their goals?”

“What?”

“It’s planning, predicting, preparing co -

then failing”

“Is failing necessary?”

“Yes, then analyzing failures, thinking of counter-strategies,

once again preparing, challenging yet again - then failing yet

again as well”

“”

“This process - if it were to continue again, there would be

nothing unachievable in this world”

“What a shocking thesis”

Fii was rendered co respect,

while Kurareement as well

“Yes, it’s a ridiculous thesis - but I do kind of like it”

There was nothing unachievable

If one couldn’t do so, it would merely mean one did

not yet have the ability to do so - all that was left was

to coe (time)

But even that competition itself could be passed down to

generations like the next - that was the Imanity (the weak)

“Neither Sora and I are superheroes, we aren’t genii, but we

have no reason to be”

It was simply -

“The desire to becoenius is the important part”

“”

“Our countless failures, will light the way for our successors -

becoht ahead”

For him it was - a lantern for shi+ro, for herself it was a lantern

for Fii, and it was the same with the countless failures of the

Late King

In the end they would definitely become - the lantern for all

Imanity, for all the races -

Suddenly, Fii asked Kuraht about the man

who had influenced her this much

“Kurami, what kind of person is Sora-san to you?”

As she heard that question, what flashed through her mind was

- the world he saw -

“He’s just ato be

a puppet”
