"Haa, haa."
Airi struggled to suppress her nausea, covering her mouth. The intense movements of the baby inside her suggested that her act of seeing the future was also affecting her child.
"It's okay, ah..."
Nonetheless, Airi did not take her eyes off the crystal ball, nor did she withdraw the mana concentrated there.
She only gently stroked her swollen belly as if comforting her child.
"It's okay... just bear with it a little longer."
She had only confirmed the starting point.
Previously, she had been so terrified that she avoided it, but now that even her partner had left her side, she couldn't just sit idly by.
If knowing the future meant changing it, she had to find a way to resolve it, even if it meant facing that terrifying vision again.
"Just a little longer..."
Maintaining her composure for this purpose, Airi withdrew her hand from her now-still belly and focused her power on the crystal ball again.
To understand the context of the scene she saw and decide how to act.
"...Aha."
And after some time had passed.
A faint laugh escaped her lips as she etched everything into her mind.
"Haha... Ahahahahaha..."
The longer she laughed, the more the overwhelming despair that had filled her heart was swallowed by emptiness. In a strange way, it felt almost refreshing.
Knowing the cause and outcome was far better than the gnawing uncertainty she had previously felt.
"...Oh, Mother of All Beginnings."
Even if everything she had worked for was to be reduced to nothing.
"Is this what you intended...?"
To save as much as possible from the coming destruction...
If all the pieces of her destiny had come together just for the sake of this one vision, then...
"Was it for this... that you guided me to him?"
"...Airi."
As she embraced her belly, contemplating such sorrow, a voice came to her.
When she looked in that direction, she saw a woman who had come to her room, looking at her as she sat on the floor.
"A guest has arrived."
Tashian Pheloi.
The person who could replace her in her absence.
"...Yes."
It seemed as if she understood the situation, and pity was evident in her eyes, but Airi ultimately ignored her and tried to pass by.
But being pregnant, her body was heavy, and she was mentally exhausted.
"Are you okay?"
Seeing her steps falter, Tashian expressed concern, but Airi forced a smile in response.
"I'm fine. Tashian, please stay here."
She hoped Tashian wouldn't interfere. If her prophecy was correct, they each had their own roles to play.
-Click.
As she opened the door and stepped out, what greeted Airi was a man in a black cloak and mask.
