Egostic reveals to Celeste that there is a new ruin of the Sun God.

Then, back to the present.

We were on a street in Europe, in the back alley of some building.

"Is this it?"

A ramshackle back alley lined with European-style brick buildings.

There, Celeste stood, her long silver hair flowing, uncharacteristically dressed in plain clothes.

...I don't know if it was because her face itself was shining, but even in plain clothes instead of her saintly robes, she looked holy unlike everyone else. Of course, the plain clothes were new to her.

Anyway, I smiled at her and opened my mouth.

"Yes. That's right. This is the ruins of the Sun God I discovered."


"...How the hell do you know about this place?"


Hearing Celeste's incredulity, I entered the ramshackle abandoned house in the back alley.

It was a dark place of crumbling boards that looked like it had been abandoned for a long time.

I walked wordlessly to the end of the seemingly deserted street.

Finally, I saw a blank wall in front of me and I put my hand on it.

......

I felt something stirring.

What should have been an empty wall had suddenly become a large door.

A wall of ruins, just like the one I had seen before.

...As in the original, this door is only visible if you know it exists.

Of course, that's all I can do as a fake.

With that thought, I turned my head and smiled at Celeste, who was standing behind me.

"There you go. The gates to the ruins are open, so let's go in."

"Egostic...you're real."

Celeste said in disbelief as she looked at me, who had so casually discovered a new ruin that even she, a Saint of the Sun God, didn't know about.

She nodded and walked over to me.

"...Yes. Let's go in."

With that, I opened the door.

Immediately, a pure white light enveloped our bodies and we were sucked into the ruins.

"This is it..."

It was a large cavity of ochre-colored bricks, weathered by the winds of time.

In this Sun God's ruins, which seemed to be connected to another world, Celeste first snapped her fingers.

With that, her outfit changed from a t-shirt to a traditional saint's robe.

"Phew..."

With a sigh, she was back to being the sassy, mysterious saint.

Looking around, she spoke in a slightly wary voice.

"I won't lose my powers here, right?"

"Haha, yes. Probably, you're safe here."

"...Well, that's good to know, but...I guess it doesn't matter."

After a moment, she looked back at me, gave me a small smile, and said.
