“I am already satisfied.”

I don't think everything was perfect. There are still some things that were left unfinished. When I close my eyes, I don't necessarily only remember good memories. I still have memories of both failure and success.


Still, I have no intention of starting over.

I'm dead.
My work ends here.
We can leave the rest to the living.


If I hadn't had a human body, I would have probably been released when I was about twenty.

After marrying Sylphie, he started working and working hard.

After living my life, I died quite satisfied.

It must have felt something like that.

That would have been good, but I'm sure I wouldn't have been able to get the same satisfaction as I do now.

It may not be to the extent of regretting it when facing death, but you may have thought about starting over again or going back to that time.

Now that I had a clear enemy and a clear goal, I could move until I died.

As a result, I am where I am today.

─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

When I noticed, my body was gradually fading away.

I wonder if this was the mana reduction that Hitogami was talking about.

So this was the definition of death in this world.

Perhaps even for other inhabitants of this world, they came to this white room just before their deaths.

Probably without ever meeting Hitogami, they just waited until they faded away from the white room.

If you think that way, then Hitogami may be close to the Yama(the Judge of the Afterlife).

Scoffing on someone’s entire life, grinning in front of them at the verge of their death…..

That’s a detestable Yama.

“Tch.......”

However, Hitogami wasn’t grinning like he usually did.

On the contrary, he was unconsciously tapping his foot, unable to hide his irritation.

He wanted to feel triumphant in front of me who was vexed and disappearing.........but that ended in a failure so now he was feeling irritated.

He really is a detestable guy.

“........”

I stood in front of that Hitogami.

“Well, Perhaps it’s not my position to say this but........”

Someway or other, I put my hand on his shoulder.

“Do your best from now on.”

I wonder if he’ll get angry.........

Or so I thought, but Hitogami breathed out a sigh and dropped his shoulders.

And then, sat down as if collapsing on his knees.

“..............”

After that, he completely fell silent.

While looking down on Hitogami, I surveyed my surroundings.

It’s the same as before, pure white.

Empty.

And then, my body was on the verge of disappearing too.

My consciousness was gradually dying out as well.

Would I return back to my previous world?

Or would I become someone else in this world?

Would my memories remain intact?

Or would they not?

I didn’t know, but no matter which form it takes, I wouldn’t care.

Even if my consciousness or memories remained, even if I was born in place much harsher than this one, or in my previous world, I would probably be able to get along somehow.

“See ya.”

My final words.

As my consciousness was gradually fading away, I passed by Hitogami’s side and started walking forward.

Without turning back, I simply headed forward...
