An uproar spread across the whole of the continent.

“Hey, did you hear the news?”

“Of course! There can’t be anyone in this bar who isn’t talking about it right now!”

The man could not contain his excitement as he immediately emptied his glass after sitting down. His party murmured in shock.

“I thought the world was over; how can an Oracle be overturned like this.”

“But the disaster is over, isn’t that good?”

A few days ago, that is. The Vishna religion, which was hastily making preparations for the impending catastrophe, sent down a huge oracle.

That is the disaster that was supposed to cause a significant loss vanish.

In actuality, the Oracle’s precise contents differed slightly from those that are known to the general public. Thanks to the sacrifice of some righteous person, the root of the disaster has disappeared, so it is okay not to be anxious anymore.

But they were unsure of the identity of the “righteous person.” Despite the possibility of becoming a savior of mankind beyond warriors, the ‘righteous person’ did not appear on its own.

The fact that disasters naturally disappeared caught people’s attention.

“But it’s such a waste; if it were me, I would have given away my identity to get the billions of money.”

“Should I just pretend to be a warrior and steal the money and fame?”

“Look at this guy. Can you prove it?”

“You’re right.”

A sudden, loud laugh followed. It was a happy laugh without even a hint of worry or anxiety.

The traveler, who was sipping in silence beside them, stood up after quickly finishing the glass’s contents.

Tak~

“Check please.”

Because the sound of putting the glass down was quite loud, the eyes of the party who were chatting briefly turned to the traveler.

The traveler soon left the bar, though, and their attention was drawn to “peace.”

‘It’s gotten pretty cool.’

It’s already been six months since she returned. The autumnal season was already coming to an end.

Adelia walked slowly through the lively street while gazing up at the sky. The hood, which was tightly pressing her head, came off.

“It’s peaceful.”

Adelia was traveling across the continent. She received a sizeable sum of money in exchange for leaving the family like she did before she turned back time, so there were no financial issues.

Sometimes she was worried about her safety, but even though everything was over, Vishna’s power had not yet disappeared.

“Of course, I’m feeling like my power is dwindling these days.”

Adelia was aware that this power would eventually vanish entirely.

She was wandering aimlessly down the street when she suddenly noticed a couple. It’s obvious that they’re shy about each other because they just met. They look into each other’s eyes as they struggle mightily not to let this moment pass them by.

Adelia realized why they stood out only later. The man had black hair. Black hair that reminds her of someone. Ivan, of course, has more perfectly black-colored hair than that man.

“What am I thinking?”

After a brief pause, Adele grinned and averted her gaze. She particularly missed them in situations like this.

‘By now, Emily must be growing up peacefully with her family.’

Rohen was alive and well. At least the child’s family wouldn’t have had such a terrible outcome if the disaster hadn’t occurred in the first place.

“I wonder how the citizens of the Grand Duchy are doing.”

Melinda and Lensley. Since they survived, they most likely improved as a knight.

And Demalo, too.

She didn’t want him to be entangled in the shadows of the past any longer. Adelia believed that he gave his life in order to save her out of guilt. The guilt of failing to protect her daughter. The guilt of fleeing without protecting Adelia Sorne, who is around her daughter’s age.

Adelia wanted him to get out of that feeling. If she visits him one day, she doesn’t want him to feel that way while looking at her.

‘From now on, he has to live his life.’

As she thought of the face of the person she wished to see the most, Adelia grinned bitterly. They wouldn’t even recognize her, let alone remember her, but she couldn’t easily fight this emotion.

She often feels regret in situations like this.

If only she had been more open about her emotions and noticed their feelings earlier… Would this bitterness be less?

“Well… I’m….”

“Oh, Miss. I have a slightly different opinion.”

Adelia’s shoulders trembled at the voice from the side, and she slowly, carefully turned her head.

“It’s been a while, I guess. No, it’s our first time seeing each other.…. Yes, it’s a great honor to meet you, Savior of mankind.”

He has a sly smile and a tone that makes it seem as if he sees through everything.

Adelia, in her bewildered voice, called the name of the one who had stopped her.

“Yohan Kerban…….”

“I can’t believe you know my name. This is an honor. Well… You came back from the future, so you might have known me.”

Adelia frowned at Yohan, disguised as a merchant on the deck, and his disciple, Benko.

The two were fanning the skewers hard and very passionate, too.

What the hell are you doing?

“The wise man of the ivory tower and his disciples…… You’ve become a perfect merchant.”

“The disaster disappeared, and the world will not end. We want to enjoy our normal daily lives, too.”

Adelia glanced at Benko. Unlike Yohan, Benko doesn’t seem to want to.

“By the way… how did you still not forget the memory of ‘then’?”

Yohan smiled at Adelia’s question.

“Well… Rather than remembering it, it would be right to say that I know it as a recorder. Of course, some of the memories of that time line are twisted because of the contract I have with God.”

At that moment Adelia was deeply disappointed. Yohan knew her only because he was in a special position.

Adelia smiled bitterly and nodded.

“……I see.”

“It’s too early to be disappointed!”

Adelia was startled by Yohan’s sudden shout and looked around her. No matter how noisy the festival was, when the owner of the skewer shop shouted like this, eyes will naturally focused on them.

“Please be quiet…….”

Adelia begged Yohan, feeling a fever on her face. Benko, who was grilling skewers next to him, seemed to have already given up.

“I know after living so persistently for so long, but relationships are more sticky than you think. It’s not easy to cut it off.”

“……I see.”

Adelia answered soullessly. Yohan noticed that she was not fully accepting his words. That she was running away from fear, too.

But Yohan didn’t rush her. He just put on a soft smile that didn’t match his appearance, and went on with his words leisurely.

“What’s wrong? If the memories are gone, you can make them again, and maybe someday his memories will come back?”

“…….”

“Just do what your heart desires. You’ll see.”

Adelia was silent.

As he said, it was enough to recreate memories that had disappeared. Nevertheless, the reason why she’s still like this is because she’s not ready yet.

If she faces him and sees that she’s the only one who has memories of the past..….

‘It might hurt.’

At that time, a kid ran to the stand and ordered skewers.

“Mister! Two seasoned skewers please!”

Adelia heard the boy’s clear voice and broke out of her thoughts.

“I’ve got to go.”

“Ah! Have some courage!”

Adelia wandered aimlessly through the streets again, leaving Yohan’s cry behind.

Finally, her steps reached the teleport hall.

“Can I go to the Grand Duchy of Hamilton right now?”

***

Adelia stared blankly at the familiar scene. The place didn’t change at all.

“Winter has already begun here.”

A cold wind passed through Adelia’s thin robe. Adelia walked absentmindedly without even adjusting her robe.

Far away, she saw a familiar image of the Grand Duchy. Adelia had a hunch that Ivan would be there.

‘How do I face him? What should I say first when we face each other?’

No matter how hard she thought about it, she couldn’t get an answer.

As she was distracted, Adelia didn’t even notice the two carriages approaching.

“Hey! Get out of the way!”

“……!”

Adelia took a breath and hurried out of the way. The carriage, which had turned sharply, had come to a sudden halt.

“Where did you leave your mind?”

The coachman, who was forced to pull up the carriage carrying the noble man, became angry.

‘It’s hard to get involved with the aristocracy.’

She gazed at the carriage, which at first glance did not seem ordinary, even though there was no pattern engraved on it.

“Sorry, I have bad hearing…….”

“Do you think apologizing is enough? If I get fired for this–“

“That’s enough.”

The coachman’s voice, which had been raging, suddenly stopped.

The coachman bowed deeply toward the man who got out of the carriage in panic.

Adelia could not take any action against the flustered horseman. In the rush of time, she felt as though her time had stopped.

‘Ivan…’

Adelia closed her eyes, swallowing the man’s name inside. She couldn’t bear to see his face. After falling for Yohan’s words and coming all the way here, she wanted to run away now.

Whi-ing

When a sharp wind blows, Adelia’s hood falls behind. Naturally, her long silvery hair appeared. As soon as she twisted her body to raise the peeled hood again, Adelia was able to meet the eyes of the person she had been longing for.

She was reflected in his golden eyes.

At that moment Adelia realized. That he doesn’t remember her at all.

Adelia chose to run away. But Ivan’s urgent touch prevented her from escaping.

“Wait a minute!”

Looking at her lover’s hand, which seemed to hold her tightly and not let go, Adelia couldn’t help but feel complicated feelings.

“You look familiar……. Have I ever met you somewhere?”

How should I answer this question?

Why did I suddenly remember Yohan’s words?

‘Fate is stronger than you think and it’s not easy to break it.’

Don’t be afraid. That’s what Yohan told her. Since he is a sage, wouldn’t it be good to take a little bit of his word for now?

Adelia smiled with deep sorrow.

Ivan felt his heart pounding at the smile. For a moment he was confused by incomprehensible feelings. Ivan soon felt even more confused by her answer.

“I’m an ordinary traveler who wants to get a job as an assistant to the Grand Duke.”
