I don’t know where the beginning was, or even if there was a beginning in the first place.
I was already standing at the “end” when my existence took a definite shape. There is no particular reason for to have ended so many worlds.
It was just a natural act for , as natural as living creatures breathe.
Destruction God of the Apocalypse, the End of the Story…… I always stood where one ets its end. No, to be more accurate…… It’s not that I choose to stand where one ets their end, should I say that it’s just that the place where I stand turns out to be the end?
Either way, the result will still be the sa, and it may not be worth pondering about. Anyhow, I have witnessed many beings’ demise, and ended countless stories.
When did the change co? I don’t think a big trigger happened at that ti either. Without any warning, the question “What is a heart?” suddenly ca to my mind.
As for simple knowledge about this matter, I obviously know. The many beings I have brought to their end have had a wide range of emotions.
Anger, grief, resignation, joy…… I had seen a number of such emotions. I was able to guess what they were from my knowledge.
However, what I didn’t understand…… getting angry, grieving soone, being happy…… Those emotions, “how can I do that”?
To , the heart that was within my knowledge, the emotions…… They were sothing I didn’t know about. I’m pretty sure that must be why.
I listened to Earth God and created a world…… I guess I thought that if I did that, I might be able to understand what the heart and emotions are.
I have made many changes to the world I have created.
I thought that if I “create an existence that can defeat ”, sothing might change.
“If a part of my power is put into a Demon”, sothing special might be born.
If I create “a being that specializes only in destruction”, so kind of impact may occur.
If I create “a being with magic power that directly affects emotions” by using “the soul of an Evil God from another world that I had accidentally acquired”, I may be able to learn what emotions are.
If I “create and alter a plant that doesn’t hold any emotions”, I may be able to find a clue that will give emotions.
If I make “a being born in this world to have an abnormal evolution, I might be able to find what is the primary cause that brought the change within .
If I “lead a being from another world into this world”, a new change may occur.
I guess you could say it worked. The existence of the being that can defeat , born as a result of my whim, has taught that I too have a heart.
But still, I still did not know what emotions were.
Whenever my half-body…… Kuro laughed or got angry, I wondered. Why is it that she, who was supposed to be the sa being as , could do such a thing so naturally? Why can’t I, who was supposed to be the sa being as her, do the sa thing?
Thinking about it again, I think I had a heart and emotions when such a question appeared in my mind…… but that was sothing I didn’t realize for a while.
The reason I sought out Kaito-san, the reason I treated Kaito-san special…… was because he was the singularity that taught emotions…… You are the being I had been seeking for.
I wanted to have emotions. Thus, I wanted to be special to you. My singularity, the being I had been seeking for…… I thought that if I could make him mine…… I could stand in a “place that isn’t the end” just like the others.
It didn’t turn out the way I wanted. However, it turned out much better than I could have imagined.
Kaito-san…… brought an end to “the who was the End of the Story”. The who was only a phenonon that ended everything…… Without knowing anything, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world, he sought after “, the being nad Shallow Vernal”.
Without you, I would have been unaware of my feelings. Without you, I would not have turned my gaze to anything other than .
Because you made aware, I was able to know myself. I have co to know my surroundings. More than anything, I’m really glad about that.
The na of “the being who can defeat ” is Kuromueina. She is a kind-hearted friend who was born from half of myself, but she walks on a different path than I do.
The na of “the Demon in which part of my power resides” is Ein. The first of Kuro’s family, given the na holding the thoughts of beginning.
The na of “the being that specializes only in destruction” is giddo. She personally sealed her heart that only seeks destruction, and instead, gained a heart that enjoys fighting.
The na of “the being with magic power that directly affects emotions” is Isis. Even as she suffers from the power of her curse, she never lost her kind heart and hope, growing to beco the kind King of Death.
The na of “the plant that gained emotions” is Lillywood. She’s a beautiful flower that was the origin of many other plants who gained their own hearts…… The Spirits.
The na of “the being that abnormally evolved” is Magnawell. The King of Dragons, with a deep vessel befitting soone having the largest body in the world.
The na of “the being from another world” is Shalltear…… No, Alice. She’s the King of Illusions and Dreams who deceived the world, soone who I’m no match with when it cos to the realm of the heart and emotions.
I have made so changes to their beginnings. But the things that followed were theirs alone, not anyone else.
Now, I understood the aning of what Kuro ant when she said “This world belongs to the beings who live in it”. And I’m proud of that……
[……Shiro-san?]
When I was pondering for a mont, Kaito-san was looking at with a wondering expression on his face.
[No, it’s nothing.]
Smiling at his loving gaze, and holding his hand, we started walking again.
Ahh, seriously…… What a happy feeling this is, thinking about “how I’m looking forward to the future”. And every ti I am with Kaito-san, I can feel it.
I’m now “standing not at the end of the story”, but “in the middle of a happy story”……
