After being reborn, I was turned into a slave girl by a princess.

"This is difficult. There are too many of these things, and taking them away would also destroy the scene... Hmm, you silly boy, summon the Staff of Orange Abyss."

"Oh, right! And that one too."

……

Because Yicheng-senpai was always by her side, Lonnies had almost forgotten that she also had this ability.

She quickly summoned the Staff of Orange Abyss and used its seemingly all-seeing ability to analyze the books.

In the past, Lonnie would have only seen a line of annotation text appearing around the edge of the book.

For example, 'The Book of XX, transformed from an evolved form'.

But now Lonnies felt a strange attraction being drawn to her right hand, which was holding the Orange Abyss Staff... It felt like her arm was being sucked into a vortex.

……

"Lonnies?"

"Sister Lonnies?!"

"No...I, I'm fine!"

……

However, this strange feeling was only fleeting. When Lonnie came to her senses, she found that a ray of light had merged into the staff.

No words appeared; the light simply condensed slowly into the shape of a quill pen.

……

"A quill pen?"

"Is this Sister Lonnies's new Rainbow Abyss power?"

"No, this thing is..."

……

Although it was the first time Lonnie had seen this quill, she felt an indescribable sense of rhythm. And although it wasn't explicitly stated, Lonnie felt as if she could somehow use this quill.

And if that's the case...

……

"Hmm, silly boy, find a book and try writing something, shall we?"

"what?"

"I have a feeling that these books, and this white quill pen that has appeared, are not things that could appear in the three-dimensional world... Perhaps, I have gained some understanding of the essence of the Supreme Civilization."

Elusia tilted her head and speculated thoughtfully.

Chapter 37 The Book of Destiny

Although a quill pen is made of light, it does not have a definite physical form.

However, Lonnie can connect with it through her consciousness and control the quill pen to move freely...

……

"Ah, the pen on the book started moving on its own?"

"Hmph, you silly fox, this is someone else's book... Don't write any nonsense on it."

"Of course not, I'm not... um..."

……

Lonnie opened a book, and the owner of the book was named Lenz, who could be described as a very ordinary girl—even her name sounded like a boy's.

She came from a poor background. As the eldest daughter, her parents had been killed by monsters long ago, and Sorenz had to take over the household at a young age to take care of her younger siblings.

Her life was full of hardships and exhaustion, but most of the tasks were trivial matters. Although she later had good luck and her academic performance was excellent, she had no choice but to join the army in order to earn enough money.

In an army teeming with elites, someone like Lenz would seem even more ordinary.

After all, she didn't have any outstanding talent or superhuman strength, so Lenz simply became a waiter in the canteen to cook for the other soldiers.

Despite this, Lenz did not lose heart. She maintained perfect attendance and had a good relationship with many people on board the ship.

So……

……

After the war ended, Lenz returned to his hometown and used the prize money he brought back to help his younger siblings attend school...

……

Lornes wrote this sentence...

And then!

A strange power surged from the pages of the book... It felt very much like when Lonnies once vanished into the void in order to replicate the power of the Dark Abyss.

In that instant, she seemed to see a myriad of worlds. In each of these worlds, life was living.

Ultimately, her gaze settled on a scene... On a sunny afternoon, Lenz, dressed in military uniform and wearing medals, returned to his hometown in good health.

My younger brother and sister greeted me excitedly as we walked along the dirt road through the fields, each of us beaming with happiness.

……

……

However, this bizarre scene only lasted for a moment... After it disappeared, Lonnie's body trembled, and she almost knelt on the ground due to exhaustion.

"Silly boy, what's wrong?"

Fortunately, Elusia was prepared and immediately pulled the silly fox into her arms, preventing her from falling and getting hurt.

"Ah, I...I think..."

……

Lonnie recounted what she had seen to her companions.

Then, the line of text that Lonnies wrote on Lenz's page gradually turned gray.

In the footer next to it, another line of small print appeared...

……

"Time has been locked. When the wheel of fate begins to turn again, destiny will continue according to the written record."

……

"This line of text..."

"This book, could it be?!"

……

The girls gasped in surprise. If the annotations in the book were true... then it meant that this was not just a book that recorded the past.

It is, in fact, a book of destiny that represents the trajectory of a person's life!

By using the power of Rainbow Abyss, one can decide a person's future. In other words, if Lonnies wanted someone to die, she could do so simply by writing a few lines of text.

……

"This...this is too bizarre, isn't it? Elusia, could I have really affected Lenz's future?"

"Hmm, it seems so. If we win this time, she should be able to return to her hometown and reunite with her younger siblings."

"!"

"The power of the Supreme Being is indeed so elusive and unpredictable. As expected of a four-dimensional civilization, they really do have some skill..."

Elusia closed her eyes slightly and slowly closed Lenz's book.

Although girls can give her a happier ending in books, life is ultimately something she has to pursue herself.

If it's a happy ending given by someone else, then even if it's a happy ending, it's still equivalent to betraying Lenz's life.

and so……

……

"Elusia, we... could it be that we also have a book? This book is in the hands of the Supreme Beings, so no matter what we do, they know? If they write just one line, we're dead?"

"Hmph, how could that be? And the book's title is 'After Rebirth, I Was Turned into a Slave Maid by a Princess'? Don't take those fanfictions you've read as fact."

"Ugh..."

"Because you silly goose, don't forget, we come from the future! While it's not impossible that the Supreme Being has the ability to see through time, at least from this point in time, we haven't even been born yet, so where would a book of destiny come from?"

"!"

"So, I think the reason Alice summoned heroes from the future wasn't simply to borrow power from the future, but also because of this consideration, right? Because it's completely beyond cause and effect, anything is possible!"

Is that so?

Although she still didn't quite understand what Elusia was saying, Lonnies felt much more at ease listening to her.

……

"So, Elusia, what should we do next...?"

"Let's do a thorough inspection of the ship again. Once we've confirmed there are no other strange things or any living creatures, we can return to the ship... We also need to land on Europa to investigate some of those ancient civilization ruins."

……

And that's how things turned out.

Since there were only four girls, compared to such a large ship, it was clear that there weren't enough people... so it was impossible for everyone to open every book and conduct a flea market search of every room.

However, as for the books that were laid out, they were indeed as the girls had predicted.

……

Moreover, there was no movement on the ship.

Even the robot puppets used for service have all disappeared.
