Chapter 87

"Hey, according to your story, the first head of the Marquessias family has been reborn many times as a member of the Marquessias family, right? But I'm different, right?"

At that, he suddenly looked at Nebel beside him.

"Um, Nebel. There's one thing I've been keeping from you, Nebel."

"Is it that you have memories from before you were born as the current Al?"

Nebel said this without any surprise, in his usual tone.

If you had heard our conversation so far, you would think that, right?

"Yeah. When I was six, the memories from before I was reborn suddenly flooded my mind. Actually, until those memories came, I didn't feel a direct connection between my thoughts and my body. That's why I was always spaced out. The trigger was the sound of my mother breaking something. That's when my thoughts and body finally connected, and at the same time, the memories from before I was born came flooding back."

"What kind of world was it?"

"It was a world that seemed similar to this one but was different. A world without magic or magic spells. There were no dangerous creatures like magic beasts. Civilization was probably more advanced than here, right?"

"So, what kind of life did Al lead in that world?"

"Well, I can't remember it anymore. I used to remember a little bit, but I can't recall how I lived before I was reborn or anything like that. I only have some bits of knowledge left, like the history of that world, what kind of entertainment there was, and what kind of tools were used."

Nebel nodded in response to my explanation.

"Since we met, I've always thought that Al had some complicated background. As a prince, and coming from a noble family that was just a step above commoners, there were many things I couldn't imagine. Maybe that's why you decided to stop being a prince when you came of age?"

"Yeah, that's right. I decided to stop being a prince so that I wouldn't end up feeling like 'serves you right.' It sounds strange for me to say this, but do you believe a story that sounds so unrealistic?"

"No, because we're in a situation that's just like a story, right?"

Saying that, Nebel looked at the Silver Dragon.

That's right! The fact that I was sent here and that I'm talking to a Silver Dragon is something no one would have expected.

"Besides, there's no reason for Al to lie to me about something like this."

"Yeah, you're right. Thanks for believing me."

I think the best thing about being reborn is that I have a friend like Nebel.

"Silver Dragon, I'm sorry for interrupting. Where were we in the story?"

"Your soul is fixed to be reborn into the Marquessias bloodline. That's where we were. Why the fixed state was broken, and why your previous life was in a different world rather than this one, is what you want to know, right?"

And why, this time, do I still have memories from my previous life? But that's probably something even the Silver Dragon doesn't know, right? It's in the realm of the gods, isn't it?

"Your soul was sent to another world by that little girl. She came later, ignored the rules, and unilaterally dissolved our covenant. She took advantage of the Creators' leniency and started managing this world as she pleased."

Huh? Hm? What do you mean?

"Little girl?"

"Who is she?"

The first person who came to mind when the Silver Dragon spoke was Princess Einhorn, but she also seemed to have been reborn here, and it didn't feel like it was her own will.

"She is called 'Goddess' by the people."

I was taken aback by the Silver Dragon's words.

"Ah! Could it be Goddess Wysteria?!"

"The main deity of the Wys faith!"

What? That one exists too?

"That little girl started managing this world on her own, taking advantage of the fact that the Creators do not interfere with the principles of this world."

To summarize the Silver Dragon's story, Goddess Wysteria suddenly appeared in this world, liked this nature-rich world that resembled Earth in its early stages of civilization, and started acting as its administrator, exercising divine powers over the people of this world.

This likely led to the widespread worship of Goddess Wysteria.

The original Creators seem to have a policy of letting Goddess Wysteria do as she pleases as long as she doesn't interfere with or destroy the principles of this world. They see her as just a buzzing insect from elsewhere.

The Silver Dragon also thought that if Goddess Wysteria's actions became too much, the Creators would discipline her, and as long as it didn't directly affect him, it was fine to leave her be.

However, this was only if she hadn't sent the soul of Albert Wilgaren Marquessias, who had a covenant with the Silver Dragon, to another world without permission.

To be honest, the Silver Dragon doesn't know what Goddess Wysteria was thinking when she did this. However, he speculates that the reason she targeted my soul was because it had the blessing of the Creators and possessed high-quality magic power, making it a suitable offering for whatever she wanted to do.

"Because of the blessing of the Creators and the high-quality magic power, your soul was just the right offering for what that little girl wanted to do."

So, Goddess Wysteria dissolved the covenant with the Silver Dragon and sent the soul of Albert Wilgaren Marquessias to another world.

In other words, the reason I, who was supposed to be reborn in this world, ended up living a life on Earth was because of Goddess Wysteria.

However, there's one thing we can't forget.

The covenant between the Silver Dragon and Albert Wilgaren Marquessias was made with the mediation of the Creators.

When the Creators' favorite, who even had their seal, was sent to another world without permission, they were not just angry; they were furious. They inflicted divine punishment on Goddess Wysteria, suspending her divine powers.

Until my soul returned to this world, Goddess Wysteria was unable to use her divine powers on humans.

On the other hand, the soul of Albert Wilgaren Marquessias, which was sent to another world, could no longer be reborn in this world because the covenant was broken.

To resolve this, the Silver Dragon, who had been given some of the Creators' powers as part of the covenant, pulled my soul back, allowing me to finally return to this world.
