The end of the world.

A place where the secret angel, Raziel, resides with the , which records all the secrets of the world.

Her eyes and mouth are chained. This is because the eyes containing the secret must be closed and the mouth containing the secret must be sealed.

But in reality, Raziel’s actions have no particular meaning.

[Well, bye bye… … .]

If you want to say something, you just have to say it with your intention. The person who hung that chain must have been short-thinking.

Of course, the chain is a method that Raziel came up with himself. In other words, it can be said to be a blindfolded catfight.

But wasn’t that what secrets were all about?

Close your eyes and fight. This is the essence of secrets.

[I hope the rest of your journey is comfortable for you two.]

Raziel bows goodbye to the two angels and demons who have completed all their business and are preparing to escape from the end of the world.

Uriel and Lucifer succeeded in obtaining information about Oskar (Chaos) at the end of the world. In fact, they didn’t do much. Everything was led by Raziel, who received instructions from Jehovah.

“What was the ‘truth’ that was so secret in the end? There’s nothing to hide now.”

Before leaving, Lucifer asked. Uriel’s steps followed and stopped.

Not only because she couldn’t cross the Bridge of Wailing without Lucifer, but because she was also curious.

Even though he belonged to the same category of archangels, the reason why Uriel could not stand on par with the three great archangels was precisely that.

[truth.]

“Yes, the truth. Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael know the truth. I also met Jehovah, the giver. But not us. Me or Uriel. So what is the correlation between them?”

Lucifer asked sharply. As always, Raziel answered in a simple tone, without any highs or lows.

[Truth is… It is unknown. never.]

“What, are you telling me? I thought you would say that of course you have to realize it yourself. But you don’t know? Isn’t it too abstract?”

[But I dare to think about it.]

“What?”

[I wonder if the path we are taking is the truth.]

Perhaps even the answer was Jehovah’s arrangement.

Raziel answered naturally.

[The three archangels realized. What they are asking for is not the ‘God,’ but the good will that is the path they want to take.]

[That’s why you opposed the previous episode. To the new god, Kanos. When all the angels who serve the gods and the devils who serve evil obey him. Those three people were people who followed good will, not the main god, so they were able to oppose Kanos.]

Lucifer and Uriel could not understand exactly what Raziel meant.

But I felt like I vaguely knew something was puzzling.

It was the beginning of truth.

[Similarly, Chaos knew that the main god was only a forerunner and not an object of faith. Do you know the difference?]

“Grunt… It’s kind of difficult.”

[It’s okay if you don’t know.]

But that wasn’t a particularly important issue to them. This was true even though they were people who had been searching for the truth their whole lives.

[Then goodbye.]

“Raziel, I’ll come again.”

“… … Sheesh, the greeting is so unfamiliar that I don’t even know it.”

Well, for the two archangels and the archdemon.

“Hold on tight, Lucifer… !”

“Qu… ! Don’t let go! Uriel!”

“Huh? Floating, falling… !”

“Ugh! line! Hold the line!”

The most urgent task is to cling to each other and cross the long swing bridge at the end.

*****

Sigh-.

Maria, who had escaped from the deep sleep, wiped her eyes in a familiar way.

Sure enough, there were tear marks around her eyes again today. Maria could sense this fact without even looking in the mirror because her sleeves were wet.

It wasn’t like this originally.

Mary’s day and night are two different personalities. It has always been that way for the past twenty years of my life.

Bam’s personality has never caused any trouble. The two personalities share each other’s daily lives through Maria’s notebook. The night personality reads for about 4 hours, but out of consideration for the daytime Maria, she makes sure to get 8 hours of sleep.

But about two years ago.

This was the first time that pattern had been broken.

Maria still vividly remembers that day. This is because it was a day when I experienced an experience that was deeply engraved in my mind.

Evans. A friend who was once her closest friend.

He appeared before Mary. In a very strange way.

Young Mary was astonished at the sight of him. However, he had the strange power to create wonders in the atmosphere with a single word of his voice. So Maria was able to maintain her senses.

Evans asked. Can you love your enemy?

Maria responded like this. Is there any discrimination in love?

After hearing the answer, Evans smiled and disappeared in an instant. She used such a painstaking method that even the Holy Knights who guarded her 24 hours a day did not notice.

It was a being full of questions from beginning to end. The one thing that is truly questionable is what happened after that.

Evans went missing.

Maria was greatly shaken by the disappearance of her close friend whom she trusted and relied on. However, there were some who were even more shaken.

Among the first year academy students, there is a beast named ‘Aru’ who attracts attention every time he walks.

The academy’s strongest teacher, ‘Beatrice’, is called the iron-blooded teacher.

Or, although the degree of disturbance was low, it was the Archmage ‘Merlin’ who had been looking for Evans for a while.

But no matter what, there was someone else who was the most shaken. Maria knew that fact better than anyone else.

Because it was her.

Maria at night.

Her other personality wakes up when the darkness of the night comes after 8 PM.

She originally lived so docilely that she didn’t bother Maria during the day, but after the day Evans disappeared, she changed.

He would stay up late at night and not sleep, or he would buy all kinds of books about the demon world and the origin of the world and read them until dawn.

He sheds tears while lying down, or, as the Holy Knights say, he sometimes mutters the name ‘Oscar’ absent-mindedly.

But above all, repetitive and certain change.

Every day, he writes a note in his notebook asking if Evans has returned.

Every time that happened, the note Maria left during the day was the same.

‘no.’

Consistently, for over two years. Not even for a day without fertilizer.

In a way, it has become a daily routine. Maria found that very surprising. How does Maria, who has no contact at night, know about Evans? But no matter who I asked, I couldn’t find the answer. So Maria resigned.

Sze-.

Maria wore her school uniform for the first time in a long time. felt good.

A part of my heart was empty. Although they had only been together for a few months, it was still due to the absence of Evans, a boy who had occupied a lot of Maria’s heart in that short time.

But Maria smiled. Even though I had to force myself to smile.

Today was the day I went to school at Eden Academy.

As a ‘third year’, the final year and final year at the Academy.

Saints of the Holy Order must not show their dark side. This is because only then can we spread the light of hope to believers.

This was why Maria wiped away her tear stains and smiled. Of course, the hope of starting the new school year with a happy heart also played a role.

“Let’s go, saint.”

The escorts guided her. Celt and Emelia, who had guarded her in the past, gave up their knighthood due to a feud between them. In addition, he got a job as a guard at an insidious prison called the Tower of Babel. Rumor has it that he followed the advice of a student at Eden Academy.

“Yes.”

Maria followed them more or less. Then, when I arrived at the academy and entered through the front door, I saw many students and new students gathered together.

They were sitting on chairs provided for students. The warm sunlight was shining down on the young green hopes.

Maria looked at them and was lost in strange thoughts. I thought it would be nice to see it as regret.

‘Just two years ago… … ‘There he was.’

Just seeing the freshmen sitting there suddenly reminded me of old times.

‘At that time, he was sitting on a chair with Aru… I approached you.’

It’s a memory.

Originally, it was a seat where freshmen were supposed to sit, but Maria thought she was being rude and sat down in that same seat. The array and rows were in the same location.

If it had been her classmates, they would have recognized Maria and there would have been a commotion, but this was a place where new students gathered. No one recognized Maria.

While no one was talking to Maria, she was immersed in vague memories and enjoying a small escape.

Someone tapped Maria’s shoulder.

“?”

Maria’s head turned.

Eventually, her gaze turned.

“Hey… .”

The face of a young boy that I miss so much, in the dark shadow with the sunlight backlit.

“If you don’t mind, can I sit next to you?”

He was smiling softly at Maria.

“Maria.”

“… Oh, oh, Mr. Evans!”

“Haha, it’s been a while. You said you missed me a lot during this time? That’s amazing. Huh? don’t cry. Oh, don’t you know that if you cry in a man’s arms like that, your reputation will be bad?”

I think I can write something new in my notebook today.

BONUS: Complete review.

I still remember it vividly. During the Creation Contest in April last year, the first episode of the second villain was uploaded with excitement…

At that time, the title was .

In the meantime, I tried other platforms, and returned to Novelpia to serialize… Anyway, there were too many twists and turns.

My thoughts and thoughts kept changing while I was writing it, so I personally think it was a mixed bag. Still, I think this too will be growth.

I will not add lame explanations to the finished article. Rather, I think it would be better to leave that part to the readers’ interpretation and imagination. Still, if you ask something in the comments, I’ll answer as best as possible without spoiling the fun!

To my always grateful and appreciative readers, thank you for following the writing of this talented writer!
