"I have one proposal."


"Use me as the test subject instead of Hoshino."



"In return, I'll grant you one wish."



"One wish, you say?"



"Yeah, you invited me in the past because you wanted something from me, didn't you? Besides Hoshino, I mean."



"...."



"Oh, of course, you know I can't grant a wish that harms others, right? Even though I'm the one making the request."



"...So, are you going to do it or not?"









"Hehehe, I'm surprised you survived in that state."



"Then, as promised, the price of our deal. I shall claim it."



"As the third prophet and one of the celestial triangles at the apex of the Sephira."











Anyone witnessing this situation would be thinking the same thing.



'Why the hell is this bastard still alive?'



It's a valid question. She was clearly suffering immensely from fear and was bleeding profusely. Anyone would think she'd be dead.



But for some reason, I'm alive and well. My mind is clear.



Of course, I've lost a lot of blood, so my body isn't in perfect condition, but I'm alive nonetheless.



If you're wondering how I survived, we need to rewind time a bit... Well, not really in real-time, but from my perspective, it was a while ago.

"Where the hell am I now..."



After losing consciousness from fear, I woke up in a place painted entirely black.



"...Am I... dead?"



It wasn't an unreasonable thought. I was in a life-threatening situation before I blacked out.



Of course, if I really did die,



"Then that message was a lie..."



The message I saw when I came here would have been a lie.



"...Ha, haha... Damn..."



'What did I do to deserve this?'



I was just trying to go home after being dragged here against my will.



"Ha, haha... So, what? Is this hell?"



Suicide is usually considered a grave sin. It wouldn't be strange if this was hell.
