The birth of the “True Hero” Chloe O’Bell.

It should have been an event that occurred at the same time as Hinata’s death.

However,

That Fate was rewritten due to the intervention of the Demon Lord Ruminas.

But, was that really the cause?

Chloe who woke up and knew that Hinata was able to revive safely was glad enough to shed tears.

They would talk calmly, the three: Hinata, the Hero and Ruminas moved to the parlor. In there, they spoke with the awakened Chloe.

Because the string of tension was gone, the children were sleepy, and Glenda had taken them to rest in another room.

The other Holy Knight seemed to have decided to rest as well after Hinata’s revival made their tension disappear.

Under pressure they had held the conference since morning and before they realized it, the day had turned to night.

Although it was important to determine their future objective, with the appearance of the Demon Lord Ruminas, their hostility to the Holy Empire Ruberion now vanished during the talk.

Even though they couldn’t help but see the Freedom Association as an enemy, they never predicted that Yuuki had consolidated his power in each nation of Human Alliance.

Nevertheless, Hinata’s revival wiped out their despair and dispersed the heavy mood.

For that reason, they would hold a real conference tomorrow.

After guiding the three people, Nicholas instructed the maid to prepare the tea, and he embraced Hinata from behind, seeming like he doesn’t want to be separated. Even if Hinata told him to go away,

「Because I don’t want to part with you again.」(Nicholas)

But there were no islands to hold on to.

Eventually, Hinata ran out of patience and continued the conversation as if Nicolas didn’t exist.

Hinata’s face turned red, but Nicholas can’t see it. Chloe and Ruminas kindly turn a blind eye, and Hinata herself was happy.

「I’m glad, Hinata.... You are safe. As Hinata’s soul disappeared, I thought you died....」(Chloe)

「Ah, Chloe. I was surprised too. I never thought that Ruminas would come

and assist in my revival.」(Hinata)

「Fumu. Speaking of which, the information network of the church hath expanded as well.

‘Tis was for the sake of finding the one who durst steal Chloe from the Sacred Coffin[1] under mín protection.

And, after knowing Chloe’s revival, from the information besought, I cameth here.

When This One arrived thither, the revived thee was not present.[2]」

While hearing the exchange, Chloe was in thought.

Her expression was filled with wonder, as it wasn’t a trivial matter.

When Hinata and Ruminas who noticed this, they worried and tried to speak to her,

「I remembered. No...... I could remember.

Apparently......

I saw my demise in the future.
