You think you're worthy of saving the world?

"Yuri!"

Rosalia rushed forward and caught the black-haired boy, who was covered in blood and was about to fall to the ground.

"You're badly injured! Don't move, I'll treat you!"

Rosalia cried out nervously and began to cast the highest level of healing magic.

"Damn it... that brat, I was just letting him have his way... and he got all cocky."

Just now, Yuri traveled through time and returned to that night in the hot spring town a few weeks ago.

He challenged his past self, who had come out to clear his head that night because he couldn't sleep, and revealed information about the Temple of the Mirror.

Then, the two naturally went to war—

Yuri was distracted by Celeste's appearance and was severely slashed by his past self.

He was mentally prepared and had expectations when he got to this part of the performance.

If you take proper precautions, you can avoid the vast majority of harm.

When Yuri saw the still-living Elf Queen appear, he involuntarily stopped breathing and froze in place.

"------!"

It wasn't just the abdomen that was torn apart by the "Azure Queen"; to be precise, the abdomen was pierced all the way down to the back.

Even the spine, slightly above the waist, was shattered, and the legs were almost completely immobile.

Finally, Yuri managed to climb back onto the time travel magic circle and return to the present.

It took about fifteen minutes to treat Yuri's wounds.

"No... I should get some rest tonight."

Just as Yuri was about to get up, Rosalia pressed him back down with a serious expression.

"No...we must hurry, we can't let Leoric get suspicious...we don't have that much time."

Yuri still struggled to get up.

There's only one time travel left, and the destination has already been determined.

Just hang in there a little longer.

"Yuri!"

"it does not matter……"

Yuri gripped her hand, and the two looked into each other's eyes.

Rosalia sighed softly, then touched his cheek with her hand.

The lips of the prophesied son and the Grand Duchess touched.

"I'll wait for you here."

"Um……"

Yuri walked towards the mirror-like surface reflecting the lake's light and glanced back at Rosalia.

Then, without hesitation, he stepped into the torrent of time and space—

In the pitch black, everything except the Child of Prophecy seemed to have vanished.

Yuri closed his eyes and began to visualize the time and place he longed to go.

In the darkness where light is blocked and the flow of time is completely halted, only Yuri's own time continues to pass.

Countless timelines revolve around him, converging into a straight line, and then expanding into infinite threads.

"……Well!"

The wounds left by my immature self, which Rosalia had healed, have reopened.

But Yuri didn't care about the physical pain; this was her last time traveling, and she absolutely couldn't back down or make a mistake.

Within the endless cycle of this "circle," he searches for the one and only exit—

Without creating a time paradox, altering the sole coordinate of the past...

The time periods that were not observed by anyone must have actually existed.

A long time passed, maybe several hours, maybe even longer.

The lost five senses gradually returned.

A faint sound reached Yuri's ears.

"Seriously, that's enough!"

That was a familiar, beautiful female voice that I missed dearly.

Yuri collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, while looking into the distance.

At the entrance to the dark and damp cave, a beautiful woman dressed in a princess gown is using fairy magic to slaughter her enemies.

"boom----!!!"

A large number of demons were blasted away by her attack.

"I'm off to find the Hero and then go on an adventure together, so please don't get in my way...!"

A beautiful, mature blonde woman with long, pointed ears stood with her hands on her hips, shouting in dissatisfaction.

"........."

Yuri pressed his hand against his chest, where blood was constantly flowing out.

—Success!!

This is the only coordinate system that can change the future without interfering with the past.

At the very beginning of the singularity, before Yuri and Celeste had merged.

Now Yuri understands why Celeste knew about the existence of "resurrection magic".

"I was the one who told her that in the first place."

180 Because I like you

Celestia's unilateral ravages of the Demon King's stronghold quickly came to an end.

The stronghold was utterly destroyed, and demons were everywhere, unable to fight.

Yuri ignored all of this, and with his tattered body, he ran toward the still vibrant Elf Queen's back.

"Celeste!"

As Yuri called out, he grabbed Celestia's hand, who was looking at him with a puzzled expression.

Although he knew it was wrong to do this and that he shouldn't interfere too much with the past, he couldn't help but do it anyway, not caring about anything else.

The prophesied child desperately wants to confirm that Celestia truly exists.

The warmth emanating from the Elf Queen's soft, slender hands gave Yuri a real sense of being alive, and she was almost moved to tears of joy.

"Huh? What? You're... human? Or a demon? Ugh, don't come near me!"

Celestia looked surprised.

He was sent flying.

The Elf Queen raised her arm and blasted Yuri away.

No wonder.

After all, Yuri not only suddenly appeared at the Demon King's stronghold, but he was also wearing the armor and helmet he had taken from the Headless Horseman.

Its face was covered, its height had changed, and it exuded a chilling aura of death.

Celestia walked over and cast a "purification spell" on Yuri with her five fingers wrapped in white light.

"……what?"

She treated Yuri as an undead creature, but clearly, purification spells had no effect on Yuri.

"Why? Never mind..."

If a proper ritual cannot be performed, then a physical ritual should be used.

Heat rapidly gathered at the tip of the Elf Queen's index finger.

"Wait...wait! Don't kill me, Your Highness! I'm human!"

Just as Celestia was about to use divine magic to purify herself, Yuri called out.

"Are you human?"

Celestia crossed her arms and stared warily at the black knight: "Where's the evidence?"

"The fact that it wasn't purified just now is the best evidence!"

"The 'Purification Spell' isn't effective against all demons, is it? There are demons that resist holy attributes... Let me see your face."

"……no."

"Why?" Celestia frowned slightly.

“My face… is injured, I can’t show my face to anyone,” Yuri made up an excuse.

"........."

The Elf Queen stared at Yuri with a disbelieving expression for a long while before finally turning and leaving.

After hesitating for a while, she decided to spare the life of the suspicious black knight.

"Wait...please wait a moment, Your Highness!"

Yuri gave chase.

"Don't follow."

Celestia stopped angrily and glared back at him: "I'm going to find the Hero now, I don't have time to bother with you here."

If that child misunderstands, I won't let you off the hook!

Yuri, quick-witted, immediately said, "I know the location of the Hero."
