Why is my journey to the world of anime a strange tale of rules?

But this kind of thing isn't really important to me.

I'm still that boring person with no direction and no dreams.

I don't want to look for a job or find a place to settle down; such things are meaningless to me.

I just wanted to repay you, teacher. I could see that you were actually... more sorrowful and heartbroken than me, more so than all of us who were bullied. I don't know what burdens you carried, but I know that you wanted to destroy this place, to completely destroy this place that kept producing more and more strange and tragic events, so that it would stop harming people from now on.

Someone like me, whom nobody cares about, wouldn't shed a tear for me even if I died.

But teacher, you are the first and only person in this world who has been kind to me.

So I will stay.

No matter what, I will stay.

……

wrong.

not like this.

I don't want you to do that.

Stop.

Go live the life of an ordinary person, and learn to have the happiness of an ordinary person.

You never need to bear these responsibilities.

There is no reason to make a student, a child, bear this responsibility.

So stop, please stop now.

Koji, don't do that.

don't want……

……

He could no longer hear his voice or see his figure.

Even after calling out to the teacher many times, there was no answer, and he did not appear.

Although he was still there and standing right next to the boy, the boy could no longer see him.

My limits are being approached little by little.

His consciousness became increasingly blurred, intermittent, sometimes clear, sometimes confused.

But he could still hear the child's voice.

I could hear him pushing something slowly in a handcart.

I heard him let out a long sigh in the empty auditorium.

And I heard his voice, trembling slightly, as if he were pleading for a response at the very last moment.

Teacher, has your wish come true?

Flames engulfed everything.

The collapsed and broken school is no longer able to fulfill its original responsibilities.

Although the students and teachers who have turned into monsters will continue to repeat their actions, the absence of living people has begun to cause irreversible changes in this place, making it impossible to harm the living anymore or create any more tragedies.

It seemed as if someone who had witnessed all of this was clapping softly and had an expression of rapture on their face.

He saw the boy's soul forever lingering there, alone in the darkness, and heard him softly repeating the same words.

Teacher, has your wish come true?

He is still waiting for the teacher's answer.

The boy, who never knew whether he had succeeded or done the right thing, wandered aimlessly for decades, just to get an answer he would never receive.

That shouldn't be the case.

This story shouldn't have ended like this.

But there's nothing he can change anymore.

His consciousness was nearing complete collapse; his personality, his pain, his desires, his wishes were about to vanish along with his existence.

So in the end, did I still fail?

They were unable to save any of the students.

Even the last child he tried so hard to save ended up being trapped in that hell forever because of him.

My existence is about to completely disappear.

But this hell still hasn't been completely destroyed.

What can I, this incompetent teacher who accomplished nothing until the very end, still do in the end?

Is there really still hope?

Is there really... still a chance to salvage everything?

No.

There must be a way.

There must be a way!

Even if I ultimately fail, one day, someone else will come and end it all.

Perhaps all traces of this school in the real world will eventually be erased, leaving nothing behind. But my memories will remain. Even if my personality and my emotions are completely gone, after I have become a monster, my memories will still remain, they will still be preserved.

There will definitely be people who receive this information.

There will definitely be someone who can end everything, someone who can save everything!

I believe that's possible.

If even someone like me, who isn't even human, would choose to save and strive to salvage everything after witnessing this hell, then there must be someone in this world similar to me who, after seeing all this, decides to lend a helping hand, decides to change everything, to bring peace to those who deserve rest, and to bring the evildoers who caused suffering to receive their due punishment.

There must be people like that.

Therefore, I must remember this.

Even if I cease to exist in the end, I must remember this.

All the children I have ever seen, all the children I longed to save, all the children who met with painful ends and cannot rest in peace.

Even if their traces are completely forgotten and erased by the whole world, until there is no trace left.

I will remember them all.

I want this memory to continue along with the dead me, who was also trapped in an endless loop, until one day it is discovered again.

This is not my right.

This is the last responsibility I can fulfill as a teacher.

and so……

please……

……

……

……

All the fragments were pieced together here.

From the initial confusion at birth to the final resolute destruction, all the memories, all the traces left on this river of time, are now fully known to Takami and Goto Ichiri.

Gao Hai's existence is further replacing the existence of that "teacher".

The "teacher," who originally had neither gender nor a physical body, has begun to become "his" existence as Gao Hai has become more and more deeply integrated and replaced him.

I am now ready to break free from my core obsessions at any time.

Eriko Asamoto's obsession can be fulfilled at any time with her reunion with her "teacher".

Koji Morihara's obsession could be resolved simply by having him, as the "teacher," answer "It's done."

The teacher's obsession will come to an end as the first two obsessions disappear.

Urian, located in Bydos, will also find satisfaction in truly observing the physical "teacher" during the observation process.

That's right.

Now, in this place where countless memories and time distortions merge, with the help of Goto Ichiri, he can resolve all known core obsessions in one fell swoop. The troubles he needs to deal with have been reduced to a minimum, the issues he needs to care about have basically disappeared, and there are no worries whatsoever.

So what is there left to wait for, or to hesitate about?

"Seriously...fuck you..."

Gao Hai spoke softly, his overly gentle voice sounding almost tender.

"Hey?"

Completely unexpectedly, Goto Ichiri was stunned when Takahashi swore, especially in such a soft voice. Her mind went blank, and she was unable to think straight.

However, Gao Hai didn't pay attention to this.

He was just annoyed.

He was extremely unhappy, so unhappy that he felt a burning rage in his chest, to the point where he wanted to kill someone immediately; he was so unhappy that he was gritting his teeth and his veins were bulging.

"That's why I've said it before, this feeling of being entrusted and trusted by others is really troublesome for me."

"The dead are so remarkable. They can just leave a few words and that's it. They don't need to care whether the people who come after them listen or not."

"Do you know how uncomfortable it is to ask someone else to do this with such confidence..."

As Gao Hai said this, a smile finally appeared on his lips.

He already understands.

Now I understand why the completion condition for the [Nightfall Mountain Middle School] instance area is the strange and abstract condition of [changing the predetermined future].

Yes, he clearly had no intention of completing the mission. Bound by the power of the black watch, Gao Hai's only method of clearing the dungeon was to break free from the core obsession and destroy it. He didn't need to consider the so-called mission at all. Yet this time, he received this strange mission to "change the future."

Gao Hai does not need to complete this mission.
