Spoiler - Amakusa

When Sajo Aika was away and no one else noticed, the boyish Avenger would come to the throne deep in the palace alone.

What he did, what he said, his expression, seemed to be the same every time.

In a low voice, he kept shouting the words "□" that was once a human being, and knelt down in front of God in a sluggish way, telling the pain, loss, and despair in his heart, and fell into madness and sadness on his own.

God's response to him was the same, almost unchanged.

God knows that this "believer" is so devout in his faith that even though he is immersed in a dream, he has to wake up and listen to the prayers and appeals of the believers.

Although he seldom uttered words, every time, he listened.

Most of the time, the believer is repeating words.

Repeating non-stop, non-stop-"You and I think differently. How, how did you become like this."

Occasionally, there will be mixed-"I obviously just want...to really follow you..."

"No more parting ways with you."

"This time, I just want you to be my belief..."

God, on the other hand, feels noisy at times.

Not only because the believer's voice is too loud, but also because of his repeated words.

It's different from what he imagined—what does the "god" he imagined look like?

Just wanting to really follow -- isn't that what you're following now?It is precisely because his faith is more devout than anyone else that God wakes up from his dream and gives him the most precious special treatment that can be heard alone.

These questions naturally arose in God's mind, but, as expected, they did not elicit his thoughts of exploration.

When becoming a god, the heart of inquiry is lost as a price.Looking at this white-haired boy, God took a panoramic view of the pained expression on his face, and did not feel any "pity" or "care" towards him.

Just need to fulfill God's duty.

"Tell me what your wish is."

"Your wish."

"Say your prayer."

Every time he wakes up, the god will make this question to Avenger who is half kneeling in front of him.

It seems to be kind, but in fact it is indifferent to the extreme.Because he didn't care how Avenger felt when he heard the question, nor did he care what Avenger was thinking.

After asking again and again, there was no answer.

The white-haired boy raised his head, and what emerged from those ferocious red pupils was a darkness that even gods could not penetrate.

He only said in a low and hoarse voice: "My wish is only that one. However, the current Eric... can't realize it no matter what."

He said that the omnipotent god could not fulfill his wish.

God still doesn't care.

As if he didn't hear him, the young man called him, he woke up, asked the young man's wish, but he didn't get an answer - repeating this, anyway, no matter who was between the two of them, he wouldn't feel impatient.

……

After the first conversation with "God", Amakusa realized that he had done the wrong thing.

Pushing a human being to the throne of God, all the insiders who participated in this act, without exception, are all for the fulfillment of their own selfishness.

In order to get "love".

In order to get the protection of God.

There is also the selfish desire of Amakusa who has been twisted into an Avenger...

It is for "following".

A boy named Amakusa Shiro Tokisada lived only 17 short years during his lifetime.

He didn't want to sum up his life with too many words. After being reversed, Avenger couldn't let go of his own death, and even harbored hatred for the traitor who betrayed himself and the people he loved.

The real Amakusa Shiro Tokisada is a "sage" who is not a saint. Even if he himself does not want to accept it, the fact lies here.

This was the evaluation given to him by an important person in the past. The child-like person spoke without any immature appearance.

Teenagers like to hear him speak, not to cooperate with the general listening to make him happy, but to really hear it in his heart.

"Since you said you wouldn't take it to heart, then I'll just say it."

"Well, go ahead, Eric."

"Well."

Before the boy was crushed to death by countless official duties that should not have been handled by him alone, the silver-haired boy who was sitting on the city lord's chair looked cold and raised his hand slowly, pointing his finger at the boy's expectant face.

"Shiro, you are an idiot."

"……Hey?"

"I've never seen a more stupid person than you. Sooner or later, you will either die of exhaustion first, or you will die bleakly due to exhaustion... Tsk, when that day comes, don't even think about me coming to save you."

"Hey? Really? Since Eric said it, I don't doubt it at all."

The boy said seriously: "Oops, if the day comes that I will die miserably, Eric, you must protect yourself and don't come to rescue me."

"..."

"Ok?"

"It's really a fool... Forget it, I'm too lazy to tell you so much."

The topic at that time seemed to end here, and it was also possible that there was something else said later, but the Avengers who became Heroic Spirits forgot all about it.

It's like a joke that was only said inadvertently.

One person said, I won't come to rescue you, and the other person replied, okay, you have to protect yourself and don't come to rescue me.

As a result, the joke came true.

All the warnings given by "Eric" to "Shiro" have become reality.The only thing that didn't match the original one was——

He actually came anyway.

He said that he would not come to rescue him, but before the besieged city was destroyed, the figure of the silver-haired boy appeared on the city wall that only the people on the ground could look up to.

He said, God will not look at the world, as long as you give up your faith, I will save you.

The figure that caught the eyes of countless people at that time, even though it was short, was as noble and distant as a god.

However, he is not a god, but an enemy of God.

Believers of God, enemies of God... destined to part ways.

Standing in the crowd, Amakusa looked up at him and wanted to reach out to him for a moment.

Later, he did reach out his hand, but after reaching out, he almost ruthlessly pushed away Eric who wanted to save him.

"Sorry, Eric..."

"Between you and faith, I choose faith."

——From then on.

——The day we never meet again.

When he ended his life in peace, the boy thought in his heart.

The real Amakusa Shiro Tokisada will not have resentment, however, there should be "regrets" that are absolutely impossible to say.

thinking about...

It would be nice if you could change your position.

It would be nice if we met earlier.

It would be great if—— I could yearn for him purely, follow him, and take him as my "faith".

The real Amakusa Shiro Shizhen can only bury these ifs in his heart, and he knows that none of this will come true.

However, Avenger, who was reversed by the Holy Grail, inherited this "obsession", and sublimated it into a wish that he wanted to achieve no matter what.

It's just that Avenger didn't expect that he, together with others, made Eric a god.

The god he got was different from what he had imagined.

Only then did he realize his own weakness, the stupidity and greed born of his weakness.

It turned out that his longing had always been the human Eric.

He hopes that he can lead him forward and give him strength with his own strength.He also hoped that he would not be in the clouds, so that he could only look up.

He wishes...

"He's still Eric."

rather than God.

--to this end.

Avenger, the man who personally pushed himself to the throne of God, welcomed back to the world.

*****

When the man left, only he followed.

He didn't need to follow, as long as the singularity disappeared, his twisted heroic spirit would naturally disappear together without leaving any traces.

However, perhaps knowing his actions these days, the man who wanted to leave alone also acquiesced.

above the ice sheet.

The ice gun began to melt, and the water droplets fell on the ice surface where the soil had not yet appeared, like silently broken flowers.

"Do you want to be the last Terminator?"

Leaning easily on the huge icicle, the man still retains half of his divinity, but compared with the previous "god", there are still many differences.

He was thinking: "It is my plan to let the undead who died because of me kill me. However, if you want to intervene, it will have no effect on the outcome, and I will not stop you."

The undead still couldn't get close to the center of the ice field, but the voices that rang not far away were finally no longer whines full of grief and indignation.

A young boy came here and resolved their grievances with his prayers and blessings, and the fragile gathering of remnants dissipated.

"I was wrong. I didn't expect that you are still a saint." The man said.

The young man replied: "Many people have said so, but now I am definitely not a saint."

"No matter what the 'me' is, the me who met you here...is just a selfish person."

He knelt down until finally, finally got the chance to touch this man.

He rested his forehead on the man's chest, closed his eyes, and whispered the man's name with a devout look on his face.

"What is your wish?"

At the last moment, the voice of the most devout believer was heard again, and the man would naturally respond.

The believer replied: "I hope, as your only believer, to die with you."

"What a stupid wish."

The god who is not a god gave an evaluation, and then said: "However, because you are my only believer, I allow it."

A saint who is not a saint pierces a man's heart with a black key.The other end of the black key also shattered his spiritual core.

What a happy snuggle.

What a fleeting faith.

But, at least for this moment, Shiro Amakusa finally got his wish.

At this moment, he was the closest to his dream.

Even if both of them are not really themselves.
