WM – Chapter 288: Takatsuki Makoto speaks to the Calamity Witch

—The Calamity Witch slowly collapses while spreading black blood.

My party members including me were shocked. 

Anna-san who shot that light blade was the most surprised. 

“…That’s outrageous… What’s…that dagger?” (Nevia)

The Calamity Witch mutters with a faint voice. 

True. If I knew about this, I would have given the sacred treasure to Anna-san from the very beginning. 

“U-Uhm…Makoto-san, what in the world is this dagger…?” (Anna)

“A sacred treasure that my Goddess gave me. I didn’t expect it to show this much power though…” (Makoto)

“I-I will give it back to you, okay?” (Anna)

Anna-san returned the dagger as if overwhelmed with honor.

We were saved by the sacred treasure.

And…the voice that told me to use this…

There’s no doubt it was Noah-sama.

“Noah-sama? Noah-sama, can you hear me? Thank you very much for the help just now!” (Makoto)

I shout to the sky. 

But there was no response. 

Was that my imagination?

No, there’s no way that’s the case.

“Aah…that fearsome Goddess that’s said to have almost caused a war in the Divine Realm by herself at the end of the ancient times? I lowered my guard thinking it was a sacred treasure on the same level as Cain-san… You seem to be quite loved by that Goddess.” (Nevia)

I listened to the pained voice of the Calamity Witch as I looked at my dagger.

The blue blade that has mana in it was shining as beautifully as usual.

The first weapon I got since coming to this world.

The magic dagger that has saved me numerous times. 

“…That dagger…was given to you by Noah-sama… That’s what you said, right?” (Cain)

Cain came here with unsteady steps.

“Are you okay?” (Makoto)

“Somehow…” (Cain)

His wounds seem to have been healed by the armor’s Divine Protection, but the important armor is partially destroyed.

The traces of the fangs of Orthos on the armor are painful to look at.

“Looks like…your sacred treasure is special…” (Cain)

Cain said with a sad face.

No, I am jealous of your sword and full armor.

“In the first place, I heard that it was made from the same material though?” (Makoto)

“Really?” (Cain)

“Despite that, it looks completely different though.” (Johnny)

The one who joined the conversation was Johnny-san.

(Right, the sacred treasures of you and Cain are made from the same adamantite. But the manufacturing method is different… I can’t tell as my God Rank is lower than Noah’s though.) (Ira)

I see… Does that mean she made it stronger due to the lower amount of materials?

“I am grateful…Noah-sama.” (Makoto)

I kneeled in place and gave my thanks to her. 

There really is no response. 

No choice but to thank her once I get back to the future. 

“……You are a devoted one…Takatsuki…Makoto-san.” (Nevia)

“Nevia-san…” (Makoto)

It is not like I had forgotten her.

Everyone was watching carefully for the chance that maybe she would lower our guards and revive. 

But the split up body of the witch was slowly crumbling like sand. 

It is a mystery how she can still talk.

“That’s a relief… Your name will be carved in history for eternity…as the one who saved the world…” (Nevia)

(That’s right, Takatsuki Makoto. With this, the threat to this world is gone.) (Ira)

For some reason, the Destiny Goddess-sama also speaks as if agreeing with the Calamity Witch.

It is true that the Calamity Witch fused with the Great Demon Lord has fallen and the world in the future has been saved.

But something feels off. 

This isn’t the final goal.

“Ira-sama, what happens to the Great Demon Lord in the future?” (Makoto)

That’s right. 

The peace of the past is important, but what’s most important for me is the world 1,000 years in the future. 

Have we safely stopped the change in the future?

(Ah.) (Ira)

““““Eh?””””

“…Tch.” (Nevia)

Ira-sama and my party members raised their voice in surprise.

The last one who clicked their tongue was the Calamity Witch.

Or more like, please don’t forget that, Ira-sama.

(I-I didn’t forget! It simply slipped my mind!) (Ira)

Is it really okay to leave the time to this Goddess?

(Let’s see…yeah, I have confirmed! I managed to confirm the history till the time when the 7 country alliance fights against the revived Great Demon Lord again! In other words, it has gone back to the state of before Takatsuki Makoto went to the past……eh? This is okay, right?) (Ira)

“By 7 countries, does that mean the Moon Country has been reconstructed?” (Makoto)

There’s one more country. 

Well, that’s fine. 

The problem is that the Great Demon Lord will be resurrecting 1,000 years in the future. 

Just as history states.

“She says the Great Demon Lord is going to resurrect.” (Makoto)

I glared at the Calamity Witch.

When I did, she began to laugh.

“Fufufu..that’s right. I finished the reincarnation ritual yesterday. Iblis-sama has departed to the future.” (Nevia)

“Wait! Then what have we been fighting?!” (Mel)

The White Dragon-san shouts. 

“A clone, or so I say, but it was a clone made by splitting part of his soul, so it shouldn’t have been that inferior in power… It seems to have splendidly deceived the Destiny Goddess after all.” (Nevia)

(W-What did she saaaay?!!!!) (Ira)

Looks like she was indeed fully deceived. 

“The Great Demon Lord that was defeated by the Light Hero threw away the world of the past to reincarnate 1,000 years in the future. It is exactly as history states.” (Makoto)

I have been taught this beforehand by Ira-sama.

History has been protected.

“Yes, we can’t match the awakened Light Hero. The original history was that Iblis-sama reincarnated after receiving a fatal injury, but this time around, he managed to reincarnate with spare energy.” (Nevia)

“That means…the Great Demon Lord in the future has become even stronger?” (Makoto)

“That’s right, the next true Iblis-sama is strong.” (Nevia)

The Calamity Witch speaks flowingly. 

I am impressed that she is speaking this much even though her body is crumbling.

And she doesn’t show any signs of being worried about that.

Could it possibly be…

“Could it be…you too?” (Makoto)

I asked something that bothered me. 

“…Who knows.” (Nevia)

She responds with a grin.

Ah, she definitely did.

The Calamity Witch is also in the future. 

“Looks like we will be meeting again in the future.” (Makoto)

When I say this with a displeased look, the Calamity Witch frowned as if competing with me. 

“…Takatsuki Makoto-san, you are the hero that saved this world, you know? That beautiful Anna-san and the cute Sage-san there love you, so shouldn’t it be okay to just pass a blissful life in this era?” (Nevia)

“You are telling me to not go back to the future?” (Makoto)

“Yes, please don’t. I don’t want to meet you.” (Nevia)

She said that straight to my face.

Looks like I am hated. 

Of course she does.

“If you had stayed put, I wouldn’t go out of my way to look for you. But you are going to be doing something weird in the future too, right? Like Charming whole countries.” (Makoto)

“Fufu, isn’t that fine if that results in world peace?” (Nevia)

She states so shamelessly. 

For the Calamity Witch, Charming people and controlling them is apparently pure justice. 

“I will find you.” (Makoto)

I state firmly.

But finding them will most likely be really hard, is what I was thinking, but an unexpected response came.

“Ara? We have already met, you know?” (Nevia)

“Huh?” (Makoto)

I was dumbfounded.

“You already know my reincarnated self, you know?” (Nevia)

The Calamity Witch grins.

…Really?

Was the reincarnation of the Calamity Witch within the people I have met? 

“Oi! Who is that…?” (Makoto)

“……Fufufu.” (Nevia)

She crumbles like sand with a meaningful laugh.

And in this way, the Calamity Witch -fused with the Great Demon Lord (clone)- left with an explosive statement right at the very end as she perished. 

◇◇

“What do we do from now on?” (Johnny)

Johnny-san looks at us. 

The Great Demon Lord is gone. 

It is not like we have defeated him completely, but at the very least, there should be peace in this era now. 

“I will be going on a journey to defeat the remaining Demon Lords as I search for a way to return to the future.” (Makoto)

In other words, dealing with the left-overs. 

The Great Demon Lord may be gone now, but we moved in a different way from the original history. 

We must free the lands that are ruled by the other Demon Lords aside from the West Continent. 

It would be easier if they were all to move to the West Continent though.

While I was thinking that, I noticed that everyone had frowns in their faces.

“Spirit User-kun, do you have a disease that kills you if you don’t fight?” (Mel)

Mel-san is treating me as an ill patient. 

 “I thought for sure we would be going back to Laberintos…” (Johnny)

Aah, so that’s what Johnny-san meant by what to do from now on, huh.

“Makoto-sama…you really should rest.” (Momo)

“Makoto-san, we also have to repair the Holy Sword.” (Anna)

Now that she mentions it, that’s true. 

Anna-san’s Balmung is still bent.

“True. Volkh-san and Julietta-san must be worried too, so let’s go back to Laberintos.” (Makoto)

When I said this, everyone made relieved expressions.

“What should I do? I may have quitted my seat as Demon Lord, but I must be a target of revenge for the Heroes.” (Cain)

The one who seems to be lost about what to do is Cain.

What a strange thing to say.

“We have to clear the Deep Sea Temple together, right?” (Makoto)

“……Didn’t we reach the conclusion that we can’t defeat a Divine Beast?” (Cain)

Cain made a face of ‘what is this guy saying?’.

I am most definitely making a similar face.

“Let’s infiltrate the Deep Sea Temple in a way that Leviathan doesn’t notice.” (Makoto)

“That’s impossible… The Deep Sea Temple is on the back of Leviathan, you know?” (Cain)

“We need a decoy to deceive the eyes of the Divine Beast…” (Makoto)

“The Spirit Magic we rely on is useless there.” (Cain)

“Yeah…” (Makoto)

“Uhm, Our King…I came here cause I heard a scary conversation…” (Dia)

Dia poked my shoulder while I was having a heated discussion with Cain.

I responded ‘it is a joke, it is a joke’ with a smile.

Then a small shadow approached me. 

“Makoto-sama…why are you so hurried…?” (Momo)

The Great Sage-sama looks up at me uneasy. 

(Hurried?) (Makoto)

Is that how I looked to them?

(Obviously. Even though you have just defeated the Great Demon Lord, you are talking about subjugating Demon Lords, and clearing a Last Dungeon. People normally don’t think that, you know?) (Ira)

I noticed after Ira-sama pointed it out. 

“I have to find a way to return to the future after all…” (Makoto)

I unconsciously said that out loud.

This is most likely the reason why I am getting hurried here.

The promise I made with Lucy and Sa-san about returning.

I still haven’t found the method yet.

(……It is not like there’s none.) (Ira)

The Destiny Goddess-sama says. 

“Ira-sama? There’s a method to go back to the future?!” (Makoto)

My party members made shocked expressions at what I said.

(In theory… If it is you, Takatsuki Makoto, it should be okay…I think.) (Ira)

The lack of confidence from Ira-sama was worrying me. 

“Could it be that it is the reincarnation method like the Great Demon Lord and the Calamity Witch?” (Makoto)

If I do that, I would become someone else.

(Reincarnation won’t be possible. The person themself has to have quite the amount of mana, or it would be hard to tell the difference between one and the other in the world of the dead, so it is hard to center where to reincarnate. It won’t be possible with your soul, Takatsuki Makoto.) (Ira)

“I-I see…” (Makoto)

Looks like I can’t even properly reincarnate with low mana.

(Well, leave it to me. There’s a little bit of figuring out to do, but I will tell you the method to go back to the future.) (Ira)

“Thank you very much, Ira-sama.” (Makoto)

Is it okay to consider me having a method to go back now? 

“Haah…” (Makoto)

I let out a big sigh.

This time for sure, I am seeing a goal point for the future. 

…It has been long.

Just when I was thinking that…

“Makoto-san!” (Anna)

Anna-san grabbed my hand and her gem-like blue eyes were looking straight at me. 

“U-Uhm…” (Anna)

“What is it, Anna?” (Makoto)

When I asked, Anna-san took a short breath, and she looked at me silently for a while. 

“Will you…marry me?” (Anna)

“Eh?” (Makoto)

Anna-san asked this with a bright red face.

“Wait! Anna-san, I won’t let you steal the march!” (Momo)

“You can meet Makoto-san 1,000 years in the future, Momo-chan, so it should be fine!” (Anna)

“Ugh, that’s…” (Momo)

I have told the two of them that I have met Momo 1,000 years in the future. 

When I told them that the Great Sage-sama has taught me magic, Momo made a complicated expression.

“Makoto-san, I won’t stop you from returning to the future. But…that’s why, before you do that, you and me…” (Anna)

“A-Anna-san, c-calm down…” (Makoto)

I was taken aback by her serious face.

“You said that you loved me in that battle, right?” (Anna)

“Y-Yes…” (Makoto)

I did say that.

Being told that with a smile, I couldn’t say anything back.

I-Is this what’s called taking responsibility?

As if matching my feelings, letters popped up in the air.

[Will you marry Anna Highland?] 

Yes

No

RPG Player. 

Even a choice…

Moreover, the Highland name suddenly showed up.

The Holy Maiden Anna-san that founded Highland.

In other words, this is what it must mean.

(I don’t think it is that bad to marry Anna-chan and take permanent residence here though?) (Ira)

What are you saying, Ira-sama?

(…I am seriously thinking about your well-being here, Takatsuki Makoto. You definitely will be happy in this era. You have pushed through so much unreasonableness already. There’s no need for you to go back to the future and fight the Great Demon Lord.) (Ira)

I could feel the grieve of Ira-sama towards me. 

A tone I could tell she was seriously worrying about me. 

Anna-san in front of me.

Ira-sama worrying about me. 

The choice floating in front of me.

(…It really shakes me.) (Makoto)

I sighed lightly and spoke…

    • "(Right, the sacred treasures of you and Cain are made from the same adamantite. But the manufacturing method is different… I can’t tell as my God Rank is lower than Noah’s though.) (Ira)"
      So the dagger is better than the sword. Makoto seems to be quite cherised by Noah.

      "“A clone, or so I say, but it was a clone made by splitting part of his soul, so it shouldn’t have been that inferior in power… It seems to have splendidly deceived the Destiny Goddess after all.” (Nevia)"
      What they fought was just a clone ? They are definitely in trouble.

      "“Ara? We have already met, you know?” (Nevia)
      “Huh?” (Makoto)
      I was dumbfounded.
      “You already know my reincarnated self, you know?” (Nevia)"
      Wait, Makoto met the reincarnation of Nevia ? No way. Who is it ? Furiae ? Tsui ?

      "(In theory… If it is you, Takatsuki Makoto, it should be okay…I think.) (Ira)
      The lack of confidence from Ira-sama was worrying me. "
      So there is actually a method to come back to the present ?

      "[Will you marry Anna Highland?]
      Yes
      No"
      Makoto, marry her ! You confessed your love, so take responsability !

      • How nostalgic, Isis Remnant the king of death. Oh well, the reason for my diabetes 🤣🤣

        • Her valentine scenes killed Serious-senpai... As expected of the "Death King". She can make people die from diabetes.

      • I see there is only man of culture here (even if she is sadly fourth in my favourite list there... But is the first in the adorable list)

          • Thanks to the comments from a chapter or 2 ago I binged that series up to the current chapter and you know what I'm glad I did, I'm eagerly awaiting the sugar we all know Shiro is gonna be drowned in soon

      • "Wait, Makoto met the reincarnation of Nevia ? No way. Who is it ? Furiae ? Tsui ?"

        Lol, I completely forgot about the cat, but now that you mention it, I can't help but think that that's it. Tsui has served basically no purpose up to this point, and the way it appeared out of nowhere and latched onto Makoto and then Furiae looks suspicious in retrospect.

      • Well isis is certainly cute and I'm sure she killed a lot of people (with diabetes)...

        But still i want to nominate mahiru from otonari no tenshi sama to show what i found to sit on the cute throne.
        Seriously otonari no tenshi sama was the only novel that almost gave diabetes to the absolute sweet tooth that i am

        • Mahiru's cuteness is really destructive. Amane and Mahiru flirting is really enjoyable to read.

        • Well damn. I just remembered her and that’s actually hard to beat. Easily one of the sweetest and cutest heroines to exist so far. Attacks and doesn’t wait for the male to confess, oof what more could you want?

      • About Makoto answer, I don't think he will give a straight answer to anna. There's some possibility that I can think of:

        1. Makoto will reject her just like before, saying that he has someone in the future (his lover and his beloved god ofc) and left her behind just like the official story should be.
        But since the author said that he will do his best to make sure that Anna and Momo will not be unhappy that means this one is unlikely to happen.

        2. Makoto will marry Anna and have a child with her (and sadly losing his v-card) then left her behind for creating the Highland Country. This one is the craziest one since it means Noelle and the royalty of highland will become Makoto descendant. Moreover, i cant think that Makoto losing his v-card to other heroines before Lucy and Sa-san (or maybe Noah? well she's the first heroine after all)

        3. Makoto will bring Anna into the future. But this one is kinda weird for me since it will make a question who de hell is Noelle's ancestor then if anna didn't create the Highland family. Maybe she can have a child without having s*x to opposites gender since her constitution as half-human male and half winged folks girl? Or maybe she could find her replacement like creating a clone of herself and left it behind for creating a highland bloodline.

        4. Makoto will reject her, saying that he couldn't marry her NOW. And then after creating highland, Anna will reincarnate too in the future just like Nevia. And find her own happiness with Makoto in the future. (this is the reasonable one for me)

        • Makoto losing his v-card is unlikely and Anna marrying a man other than Makoto is hard to imagine. Now that we know reincarnation spell is actually possible, I would really suspect that Anna reincarnated.

          However, if Anna reincarnated as Noel, it would really be weird because Noel loves Sakurai and she has a personality different from Anna.

          • I’m guessing that mortals reincarnating would delete their memories. Otherwise, how would Eir reincarnate Shuri as a hero if she becomes an enemy instead?

      • Nah, in the first place in the official story anna already marrying someone else and created highland, what's different now if she married a man other than Makoto? Tbh even if she ended up losing her first time to another man it doesn't mean she's already NG. Unless the author put some plot twist that Makoto saving the past is the Official Story I don't really think he needs to marry her now (it may sound evil to me). So thus why reincarnation is indeed the only one that becomes the most possible answer. But I doubt she will reincarnate as Noelle.

        • For some reason, japanese readers are really strict on the virginity of the heroines, so I don't think that Anna will lose her v-card.

          I also think that Anna won't reincarnate as Noel, but how can we explain that Noel looks like Anna ?

      • Chapter 88
        The people of Highland wanted Abel to become their King.
        But Savior Abel said ‘there’s someone waiting for me’ and left.
        No one had seen him after that.
        That’s the legend.

        “…I didn’t know.” (Makoto)
        She thought that I was trying to act cool by imitating that.
        I can understand why Noel-sama would look at me coldly from that.

        “So you really didn’t know.” (Noel)
        Her cold expression returned to her normal one.

        “Makoto-sama, I hate this story! If you were copying it, I thought I should get angry.” (Noel)

        She placed her hands on her waist and puffed up her cheeks.
        Her expressions really are bountiful.

        “Why do you hate it?” (Makoto)

        “Cause you know…” (Noel)
        Noel-sama directs eyes as if sulking.

        “Savior Abel-sama had a splendid girlfriend like the Holy Maiden Anna-sama, you know? And yet, he said ‘I have someone waiting for me’. That’s hurtful for the other girls, don’t you think?!” (Noel)

        “Aah.” (Makoto)
        So Savior-sama had some other girl, huh.

        “In history books, it is stated that Savior Abel-sama had an elderly mother, and passed his remaining years of life in a modest manner.” (Noel)

        “Hoh, is that so.” (Makoto)

        “Is the kind of postscript that was created.” (Noel)

        “Eh?” (Makoto)

        It is made-up?

        “What happened to the Savior-sama is completely unknown after all. So they had to create a plausible conclusion. The first ruler, Anna-sama, having her lover be taken by another woman is absolutely unacceptable!” (Noel)
        “Sounds troublesome…” (Makoto)
        This country of Highland has been having troubles since its founding, huh.
        “Doesn’t the Great Sage-sama know in more detail?” (Makoto)

        I remember that i tought she overreacted a lot at that so i was sure she was a reincarnation but after in her POV afterwards she left clear she cant be Ana reincarnated because she is in love with the light hero.

      • I say it is the cat that Furie takes care of. After all, we know that it likes the Moon Oracle the best and dislikes Makoto to the point where it tries to hurt him every time he gets close.

        • Isis Remnant from I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace

        • Isis Remnant from I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace

      • I read some of these comments and picked up the manga for world at peace and I have to say Isis is so adorable. I'm definitely going to read the rest of the novel after having dropped it a couple months ago after getting to chapter 20ish.

      • Tsui sounds like the most likely choice. I was thinking Furie but that seems obvious but that could also be a trick. We've had Furie's POV but not Tsui's and considering how Tsui seems to be with Furie more (being the Moon oracle) seems the most likely.

        On the other hand, Makoto should have (supposedly) charmed Tsui which is why she's following him.

      • The artist chose to only use loli characters... I don't really like it because I find the story characters loose a lot of charm end diversity, so I'm not really reading the manga

    • I think Nevia reincarnated = Furiae. Here is why.
      1. Both are Moon Oracle.
      2. Both are devil kin.
      1. It was mentioned how much the two of them look alike.
      But you're surely thinking that Furiae's behavior/reactions don't match, and that's certainly true. Furiae definitely didn't know Makoto before. However there may be a trick at play.

      Some of the most interesting reincarnation stories to me involve someone who's previous life memories didn't surface right away. They lived genuinely new lives, forming memories of their own, connections of their own. Strong bonds with family and/or friends. They have full lives they aren't willing to simply throw away. THEN their previous life memories awaken, but the old doesn't disappear. Their priorities and even personality may become... complicated.

      So what if Furiae = Nevia, but the memories (via the reincarnation spell) aren't set to awaken until Makoto went to the past/Iblis awakens/etc? Furiae who loves Makoto and once favored Sakurai. Nevia who hates Makoto and the light hero (now Sakurai) but loves Iblis. It could get really messy, in a number of meanings. And it would be a good way to hide. Knowing nothing (and therefore never behaving in a suspicious way), Furiae got in close. She should be viewed now as an ally, certainly not an enemy from within. Remember Ira's prophecy of Sakurai getting stabbed? The one that never got resolved? If Nevia's memories awaken in Furiae... she can walk right up to him at any time and be welcomed.

      It could also be a thing that humans (and other similar species) normally reincarnate, but absent any memories or abilities - a blank slate. Which could make sense that Furiae was normally a (blanked) reincarnation of Nevia even without a spell, but because of a spell she'll become the same person again. And according to Ira's explanation just now about finding his particular soul being difficult because the mana is so low, that kinda jives. It might be that sort of thing.

      Could it be the (demonic beast) cat? Makoto charmed the cat. IIRC, Furiae confirmed that he charmed it. Could Nevia be charmed by a novice user of charm? So to me that's unlikely. There could be a hidden angle still.

      • I dont thinks she is Furiae. It was told that the moon godess loves her oracle it seems so i think the witch is either the cat (remember that it was always agressive with Makoto) and his timing apearing and how stick to Furiae was for keep and eye on her most likely she wants to stole her body and change places. Is either she or the oracle from the fire country. She was the one to try to screw Makoto after the defeat of the demon lord even went against the wish of her father and she told to the hero that Makoto was the apostle of Noah.

      • "Remember Ira’s prophecy of Sakurai getting stabbed? The one that never got resolved? If Nevia’s memories awaken in Furiae… she can walk right up to him at any time and be welcomed."

        I doubt Nevia could reincrnate like the new oracle (Naia decide that) Most likely she wants to stole the body of Furiae because she needs the power to charm others thus once she get her body she will stab Sakurai that will explain why she couldnt see the one stabing him.

        • Consider the sort of reincarnation system where as mortal's souls are cleaned, and they're reborn without previous life memories (and of course, abilities). Where soul may be born and live a life any number of times. Ira was talking about the need to find your specific soul to do reincarnation, and how hard that is when you don't have a lot of mana.

          What if Nevia/Iblis interfered with such a system? It would seem to be the case that Nevia also needs to find her own soul (where it is in the future) to reincarnate - namely be herself reborn. Iblis is pretty skilled at such things too.

          So I'm saying her soul is out there, and reborn as someone who has already met Makoto (if she's telling the truth). We do know a half-devil girl who looks identical to Nevia, chosen (again?) as the Moon Oracle. A girl who specializes in charms and curses as well as reading fate. The girl did also at a time had a large grudge against humans. She might have went down a very different path if not for Sakurai and Makoto.

          That's quite the pile of coincidences. What if all those are no coincidences at all? Perhaps Goddess of the Moon chose the same soul, reborn. Maybe she really favors that soul.

          Now forcibly awakening Nevia's memories into Furiae, that could be called a method of stealing her body. Would they blend? Multiple personalities? The worst case is over-writing. I'd be rather upset if Furiae was erased like that.

    • Is that supposed to be Olga on the left? Yeah, the illustrator's overly-cutesy art style does not do most of these characters justice... =/

    • Wait what? So who did Nevia reincarnate into? Furiae? Damn, things are getting more complicated. That’s probably why she looked tired back then.

      Also, we just had a slight return of Noah and now she’s disappeared again. We still need an explanation on how she was able to contact Makoto there.

      The Great Demon Lord reincarnating in the future and becoming stronger would remove all of the chances of Sakurai beating him. He’s not even awakened yet, what more could he do about him now that he’s even stronger?

      About Ira though, what can I say except as expected of the Divine Disappointment. Forgetting Iblis’s return in the future and getting tricked by Nevia, classic Ira. Now, what plan does she have now so Makoto can return to the future?

      I’m fairly certain Makoto would not accept that. History’s says “Abel” left Anna and I’m fairly sure this is that moment and not the confession event. I’m just sad that Anna would be left heartbroken but I’ve read on a comment here that the author’s afterword said he’ll make sure Anna and Momo have a happy end so I guess there’s still hope?

      • If Nevia reincarnated into Furiae, things will get really messy. It might even destroy all the efforts Furiae put in rebuilding her country.

        • But if done well however, it would make for a really great character development. Remember, Furiae hates Nevia and being associated with her. It’s kind of like a battle between personalities. Would she choose her goal to charm everyone for “peace” as Nevia or stay the same as Furiae only with using real peaceful methods instead. Plus, she gets to stay with Makoto on the latter.

      • Maybe she reincarnated into that prick that leads the cultists, which would explain certain someones ability to control ppl and using the voice of iblis to make taboo mons

        • You mean Isaac? That would be a bit weird as he’s a male but that is possible. Another gender bender character after Anna and Leonard, I suppose

      • Or, it has always been Nevia, just with no memories. And now she'll be conflicted. Difference is it's not really a battle of personalities, just an inner struggle of morals and what she really wants.

      • The first one i could think of would be Furiae since she's the same as Nevia who is the moon oracle. But to be honest, I DONT WANT IT to be her.
        It just adds more drama and will destroy the relationship between Makoto and Furi and that is something that i don't want to happen the most (for God sake pls just let Furi enjoy her current happiness, she's suffering too much). But well, I do hope our author-san isn't some sadistic person who likes to torture the character in his story just like a certain person.
        The next one and the most suspicious for me is Tsui the black cat and Mary the receptionist. I can't think other than those two though. Now that I think about it, Ira said that Sakurai will get stabbed by someone right? maybe it is Nevia who reincarnated into the future?

      • LOL We already know how he will respond XD
        Chap 87 Takatsuki Makoto learns about the dark and light of Highland

        What’s waiting for me there is said to be even stronger than the Great Demon Lord, the divine beast, Leviathan.
        No, that’s a long path.
        I wonder if I can actually clear that.
        “…Why? You can obtain everything you desire, you know?” (Noel)
        Princess Noel has surprise in her expression.
        “There’s someone (the Goddess) that’s waiting for me.” (Makoto)
        “…Is that so?” (Noel)

        Princess Noel didn’t know how to respond to that.
        She had slightly cold eyes.
        Hm? Did I say something weird?

        WM – Chapter 88: Takatsuki Makoto listens to the past talk of Princess Noel

        “Makoto-sama, I hate this story! If you were copying it, I thought I should get angry.” (Noel)
        She placed her hands on her waist and puffed up her cheeks.
        Her expressions really are bountiful.
        “Why do you hate it?” (Makoto)
        “Cause you know…” (Noel)
        Noel-sama directs eyes as if sulking.
        “Savior Abel-sama had a splendid girlfriend like the Holy Maiden Anna-sama, you know? And yet, he said ‘I have someone waiting for me’. That’s hurtful for the other girls, don’t you think?!” (Noel)

      • Anna said she would not stop him from returning to the future, so my take of her request was that she wanted to be married to him during the little time left before he found a way to return to the future. So it could be that he actually said yes, and they married - for all of a few weeks / months until Ira finished working out how to make work whatever method she came up with. It was Ira who suggested that Makoto marry Anna and remain in the past. Anna, in fact, even told Momo that she could have her own turn when he met her again in 1000 years.

        So Anna's 'happy end' (if it can be called that) could be a bittersweet marriage of a few weeks / months. It may even be that the marriage bore fruit - that Noel really is Anna's (and Makoto's) descendent.

        Another idea occurs to me: reincarnation. Given Anna's incredible amount of mana (at least when she focuses on her love of Makoto), could she seek that path (maybe after Makoto leaves)?

        Which leads to Nevia's reincarnation? I still can't guess who it could be. We've seen Furiae's point of view more than once, so if she had such memories of meeting him in the past - or some sort of split personality - we should have seen it. From Aya we know that memories seem to be recalled not long after birth. So who could it be? At a stretch, maybe Marie? I don't think we've seen her perspective, and that might be a reason she became more prominent in the LN compared to the WN, if late in the WN the author decided to use her for such. But that still seems really unlikely....

        • Reincarnation doesn’t necessarily mean that they retain their memories. As I’ve replied before, Eir would not reincarnate someone who would just become an enemy so we have an idea that memories are erased after getting reincarnated.

          • I think that one is more Eir intentionally resetting them to a blank slate to avoid trouble as I remember her mentioning the longer before reincarnation the more stable they are, mabye that's related?

  • Thanks! Nepu!

    • That meme is hits a lot Reigokai-san.🤣

      “You already know my reincarnated self, you know?” (Nevia)

      This line really makes me curious and shiver, who's Nevia’s reincarnation, Maybe Furiae or Mary??? Or tsui?? And hie did Nevia knows that he reincarnate herself and met makoto in the future?? Damn....

      Momo is sad, makoto makes a right choice or else his fans would hated of the bones.... Poor momo

      • Thinking back, I think there's a chapter where Ira, hated Furiae a lot. Maybe this the reasons why. Because she could be a possible reincarnation of Nevia.

        Anyways, I don't why Ira's behavior kinda makes me question her position as goddess from every chapter. She just forgot about Iblis the would reincarnate in the future. The most important thing...... Sigh.... 😂😅

        • What do you expect from the Divine Disappointment ? Well, being clumsy is part of her charm.

    • Nevia reincanated with a new body?...It's Fu-chan then? Nevia will take control of her? Imagine how hilarious it is if Fu-chan takes control of Nevia instead from the power of love~
      "Will you...marry me?" (Anna)
      YES! SAY IT MAKOTO! Then you can go to the future and say you are the ancestor of the royal lmao

      • But really, if thinking about it again, out of all the people in this story, maybe Tsui is Nevia? If it's Fu-chan then I doubt Nevia can do anything, and she doesn't have to be reincarnated as a person?

      • Tsui ... actually makes a lot of sense. Granted, it is a little cliche after KonoSuba, but it would work really well in this situation. And not being a person means Makoto will never make the connection. (Although he really should, since the only other person he knows who has reincarnated also came back as a non-human.)
