"Sir, please stop your exploration here. The result beyond this point may not be sothing you want."
Just as Su Ran was about to dive deeper into March 7th’s mories,
A Rembrance Keeper from the Garden of Recollection appeared.
She blocked his consciousness from advancing further.
"You people really have nothing better to do. What is she, a Rembrance Emanator or sothing else? Why is the Garden so obsessed with her?"
If this weren’t deep within March’s consciousness,
Su Ran would’ve already dealt with this Keeper more... directly.
"In any case... her past is not sothing worth uncovering. And it may not be sothing she wants to see. Turning back now is still possible."
The Keeper continued trying to persuade him.
She clearly didn’t want him to continue.
"These are her mories. I have her permission. Your Garden doesn’t have the right to interfere, does it?"
A trace of Emanator-level power leaked from Su Ran.
The Keeper instinctively stepped back.
Even in their ho ground—the realm of mory—
They were not invincible.
Especially against an Emanator of Erudition.
Who knew what kind of impossible thods such people could develop?
"But if you go further... the outco may not be what she wants."
The Keeper still insisted on stopping him.
Even now.
"Whether she wants it or not has nothing to do with . I only care about knowing her past. Whether I tell her—that’s my decision."
In truth, exploring March’s mories
Didn’t necessarily an restoring them.
Su Ran had even suspected—
That March might be:
A mber of the Garden of Recollection
Or even an Emanator of Rembrance
After all, she always carried a cara,
Constantly recording mories.
Wasn’t that... suspicious?
But it was only speculation.
And this Keeper?
He didn’t take her seriously at all.
"Leave now, and you won’t be hard. Otherwise..."
The Keeper retreated another step.
Even in her own domain,
She feared brute force.
"You really want to do this?"
She hesitated.
As Su Ran said—
He could learn everything,
And choose not to tell March.
That wasn’t inherently unacceptable.
But in reality—
There were no perfect secrets.
And no information that stayed hidden forever.
Only the dead kept secrets absolutely.
And Su Ran clearly wasn’t the type to die for one.
So she was trapped:
Let him pass → risk the truth being revealed
Stop him → risk her life
She couldn’t help but resent her own luck.
Why did she have to face him?
If it were another Emanator instead,
At least there’d be a chance to resist.
But her?
She could only retreat again and again.
"Have you decided? My patience is limited. You know how strong Emanators are, right?"
Su Ran was already being unusually restrained.
Another Emanator might’ve attacked imdiately.
"...?"
Just as the Keeper was about to give in—
A terrifying force suddenly surged through the space.
Even Su Ran felt imnse pressure.
A crystal-like imperial figure appeared before them.
The Keeper was so shocked she couldn’t speak.
As for Su Ran—
He wasn’t speechless,
But the pressure was overwhelming.
Because that form—Was unmistakable.
Fuli, the Aeon of Rembrance.
To protect March’s mories,
An Aeon personally intervened.
"...Seriously? Is she so kind of chosen heroine? Stelle is supposed to be the protagonist, right?"
Fuli stood like a silent statue.
No movent.
No words.
Yet the atmosphere turned ice-cold.
Su Ran couldn’t see its eyes,
But he felt it—
A gaze attempting to scan through his entire existence.
His past.
His secrets.
Everything.
And the figure seed to be getting closer.
"...Hah..."
Back in reality,
Su Ran withdrew from March’s mories,
Gasping for air.
Herta handed him a glass of water.
"Look at you. What kind of terrifying secret does that girl have to leave you like this?"
Su Ran drank it in one go before recovering slightly.
"You probably won’t believe it... but I saw a Keeper in her mories."
"A Keeper? That’s it?"
Herta didn’t think much of it.
"So her mories attracted the Garden’s attention. Not that surprising."
"That Keeper didn’t even dare approach . But after that... Fuli showed up."
"WHAT?!"
Herta’s voice shot up instantly.
Even March, who had been unconscious, was startled awake.
"W-What happened? Is it morning already?"
She opened her eyes—
And saw:
Su Ran sitting in a chair
Herta sitting on his lap, grabbing his collar
Instinctively, March reached for her cara—
Only to realize it was sitting on the table.
Right next to them.
And completely out of reach.
