[Blue Archive] Abydos' Suicidal Hopeful

Aftereffects EP.30

"I didn't die again..."

Honestly, at this point, I just accept it.

I've been scared to the point of death, and even had my chest blown open at the end, but failing has become so routine that I can just laugh it off now.

"...Damn it."

Seriously.

"Haah... That Sensei really had to do something unnecessary..."

Before I lost consciousness with a hole in my chest, I clearly saw it.

Sensei running towards me, holding a golden card.

And since I survived, it's obvious that Sensei used an adult card.

No matter if this is Kivotos, it would be impossible to save someone with a hole in their chest.

"Seriously, this is why I can't bring myself to like Sensei..."

"D-don't say that... Sensei paid a great price to save you..."

"...Well, yeah, but... Huh?"

"god, you scared me!!!"

As I was expressing my dissatisfaction with Sensei, Yume, who I thought had disappeared, suddenly appeared before me.

"W-what?! I thought you disappeared??"

Didn't she say a tearful goodbye to Hoshino and ascend to the afterlife?

"Well... I wanted to explain, as I promised..."

"...Ah."

-----

"I will... I will explain everything."

-----

'Now that I think about it, she did say that...'

So much has happened since then that I completely forgot.

'...But is there anything to explain?'

Besides the fact that Yume and the man in black are the ones who reincarnated me here, there's nothing else I particularly want to know.

"...Then, will you explain?"

I couldn't just tell someone who couldn't ascend to go away, so I decided to listen quietly to Yume's explanation.

"Ahem! Before I explain, you know that we are avatars of gods who possess some of the divinity of past religious beings, right?"

"I don't know the details, but I know roughly?"

Wasn't that why the students had true names, like Hoshino's Horus or Shiroko's Anubis?

"Yes, and depending on the means, we can manifest our abilities as divine beings."

"For me, that method was death..."

"Hmm...? So? How exactly does that lead to my reincarnation?"

What she just said was that she manifested as a divine being... Which means,

"Didn't you just revive? With that divine manifestation."

I don't really understand this divine manifestation, but ultimately, being manifested is the same as being revived.

If she died, there wouldn't be any manifestation or anything.
