Animation Producer in a Fantasy World

Chapter 44 - Machine God Chronicles - True Ending (5)



And so, Kai, who has regressed, changes the future without any more hesitation.

He saves Luke, who died unjustly by his hands in the past.

He easily defeats Nyarlathotep, the strongest Outer God, saving the lives of innocent citizens who were almost sacrificed.

As a result, he even stops the “Human Ascension Plan” of the Commander-in-Chief and the Senate, preventing the deaths of Illuminati members including Rinoa and Rachel.

And at the end.
Inside Unit 0, which has once again become a god, Kai converses with Saya.

“Humanity no longer needs Machine Gods. So, I wish for a world where neither Outer Gods nor Machine Gods existed for humanity.”

“…I see, that is your true wish, brother. Then, as the god of humanity, I will simply grant that wish.”

“Saya. In the newly created world… will I be able to meet you again?”

To Kai’s seemingly desperate words, his younger sister in the form of Saya smiles sadly.

“I’m sorry, but that’s impossible. I’ve already become a part of Unit 0. However-”

“…By your side, there’s already someone who will be with you for life, isn’t there?”

“…”

“Although I can no longer be by your side, I will always watch over you. Even after a year, after ten years, until the moment you leave this world with a smile, always.”

“So now… goodbye.”

“I was truly happy to be born as your younger sister.”

“…Goodbye, Saya.”

Thus, the world is reconstructed.

Into a world where from the beginning, neither Machine Gods, nor Outer Gods, nor Illuminati, nor anything existed.

…Although, a god watching over humanity from outside Earth was created.

Into a peaceful world where no one noticed that fact.

And-

“It’s been a while, Kai.”

“…Eileen?”

After three years have passed, Kai happens to encounter Eileen on the street.

And surprisingly, Eileen was in a state of having memories related to the Machine Gods.

Originally, as the world was reconstructed, Eileen too should have lost all memories related to the Machine Gods.

In fact, weren’t Rinoa and Rachel just getting along as good friends after losing all memories related to the Machine Gods?

But Eileen alone was retaining memories related to Kai.

“…Ah.”

And he realized.

This was the last gift his younger sister had left for him.

“What’s this, are you not happy to see me after so long?”

“…No. I’m glad. Really.”

“Right? Of course you should be. Because it’s a bit unfair if I’m the only one who’s happy.”

Eileen pouts her lips as if somewhat dissatisfied.

“At first, I thought everything was a dream. But the memories were too vivid. So I realized it wasn’t a dream. And… I needed some time to organize my thoughts.”

“…What thoughts?”

“Are you asking me to say it with my own mouth? How foolish.”

Eileen smiles at Kai.

“I’ll say it just once, so listen carefully.”

“You know, Kai.”

“I like you. Really.”

For a moment, time stops.

The people passing by, the scenery of the street, everything turns pure white.

The only person visible in Kai’s field of vision is Eileen alone.

And-

“I promise you. Until I die, I won’t even hold hands with or talk to any man other than you.”

“Everything I have is yours, and I too am just your possession.”

“…The time we spent together has already disappeared. It no longer exists in this world. But such facts don’t matter at all.”

“I actually don’t know what love is. But if love is thinking of and holding only one person in your heart for your entire life-”

“I swear to you. The fact that only you in this world will be my first love and last love.”

Saying so, Eileen kisses Kai.

And pure white snow begins to fall from the sky.

As if blessing the newly born couple at this moment.

Thus, with a quiet close-up of the couple’s back as they silently embrace and kiss each other.

The true ending of “Machine God Chronicles” came to an end.

“…..”

The Duke, who had been watching the director’s cut of “Machine God Chronicles” without even breathing properly until now, suddenly realized that something was flowing from his eyes.

“…Huh, what’s this? Why are tears…”

The Duke quickly wiped away the tears flowing from his eyes, but.

As if a faucet had broken, the tears from his eyes showed no signs of stopping.

“The rain is falling heavily today. Really… I don’t like it…”

The Duke muttered so while looking at the ceiling of the mansion.

Although the Duke’s age was approaching his mid-40s.

The abundant sensitivity of his early teens still remained in his heart.

“Really… it’s an ending I like. There was no part to find fault with. However-”

There was one thing the Duke was dissatisfied with while watching the true ending.

That was.

“What about Saya? Then what happens to Saya? Does Saya have to be content with just eternally drifting outside Earth watching over Kai?”

That’s right.
Although the Duke liked all the heroines appearing in “Machine God Chronicles” without discrimination.

Among them, he couldn’t help but feel somehow drawn to Saya.

Because his daughter was voicing Saya, there were more than a few times when Saya also felt like his own daughter.

As such, he had hoped that Saya too would definitely be happy in the true ending of “Machine God Chronicles”.

It seemed that this kind of ending couldn’t help but make the Duke, who called himself a member of the Saya faction, feel somewhat uneasy.

But, that’s when it happened.

[Eileen Ending – ‘End of Sorrow’ Completed.]

[‘Beginning of Spring’ – Saya Ending has been unlocked.]

[When all heroines’ endings are viewed, the ‘Final Ending’ will be unlocked.]

Seeing the words that suddenly appeared on the screen, the Duke widened his eyes.

“Wh-What!”

Could it be that not only the Eileen ending, but endings related to Saya and Chloe were also prepared?

Just as Eileen finally connected with Kai and met a happy ending just now.

To think that an ending where Saya too could draw a happy future together with Kai also existed.

Then, the ‘Final Ending’ that is unlocked when all heroines’ endings are viewed must surely be-

“Ragna… you bastard…”

The Duke felt something welling up in his chest and fell to his knees on the floor.

“A harem ending, huh. You know something…”

Ragna Tertion.

That guy was someone who knew all too well what a man’s romance is.

Thus, the Duke left the room with a satisfied expression after thoroughly scraping through all the endings of “Machine God Chronicles” recorded in the director’s cut.

Well, the Duke’s expression was like that of a yellow dog that had eaten a lot of feed, but isn’t it fine as long as he himself is happy?

As the Duke entered the reception room of the mansion like that, there was Serika with a beaming expression.

“Father, so did you enjoy the ending of “Machine God Chronicles” well?”

“…Ah, yes.”

The Duke opened his mouth with an expression as if somewhat refreshed.

“It was the best ending that made the time spent watching “Machine God Chronicles” from episode 1 to 50 not wasted. If that guy were in front of my eyes, I could give him anything as a reward.”

“Hmm. Is that so?”

Hearing the Duke’s words, Serika smiled gently and said.

“Then how about me?”

“Hm?”

“Can’t you give me to Ragna as a reward?”

“…What?”

For a moment, the Duke couldn’t understand what he had heard.

No, to be more precise, should we say that the Duke’s brain didn’t want to interpret what Serika’s words meant?

And unaware of the Duke’s feelings, Serika opened her mouth with a smiling face.

“Father. Do you perhaps remember the words Eileen said when confessing to Kai in the Eileen ending?”

“…Huh? Ah, yes. I remember.”

“That was actually what Ragna wanted to say to me.”

“…Hm?”

“Before recording that line, Ragna called me privately and said this. He said he was sorry that this line was actually prepared for the Saya ending, not Eileen, but in the end he couldn’t use it for me.”

Serika says so and just laughs happily for some reason.

“Really, isn’t this completely a confession at this point? Ragna, really. He didn’t need to confess in such a roundabout way, I’m confident I would accept it all.”

“…..”

No, no matter how you look at it, isn’t that just something he said because Serika is Saya’s voice actress, not a confession?

What kind of happiness circuit has to be running in your head to feel that as a confession?

The Duke felt his words get stuck for a moment, but on the other hand, he felt deeply relieved in his heart.

It seemed that for the time being, the thing the Duke was so worried about was unlikely to happen.

But that doesn’t mean he should let his guard down or be careless.

Because unless dirt enters his eyes, he had not the slightest intention of entrusting his lovely daughter to another man’s hands.

But.

“In that sense, let me say this, Father. Let’s make a deal.”

“…A deal? What?”

“If you help me and Ragna get together-”

Serika whispered into the Duke’s ear in a voice that couldn’t be more alluring.

“…I’ll tell Ragna to try making an anime with the content you want, Father.”

“Wh-What!”

At that moment, the Duke felt his heart greatly shaken.

An anime with the content I want, they’ll actually make it?

Those stories that I’ve only imagined in my head until now, thinking they were dreams that couldn’t actually come true and smiling bitterly, they’ll actually realize them?

Really?

“For example, can they make into anime stories like searching for wish-granting dragon balls that grant a wish when all seven are gathered, or humans building a huge wall to stop mysterious monsters that suddenly appeared on the continent?”

“Yes.”

“Even stories like collecting shattered pieces of a powerful jewel scattered around the world, or joining the Demon Slayer Corps to save a sister who turned into a demon?”

“Of course. However, I’ll only tell Ragna such stories, it depends on whether Ragna likes those stories you created, Father.”

Serika said so firmly, not intending to cross the line as anime production was Ragna’s exclusive right.

But even that alone was something the Duke couldn’t help but be very grateful for.

“Th-Then there’s a story I really want to make into an anime. It’s about two prideful geniuses with the ability to kill people without touching them engaging in a battle of wits to find each other, doesn’t it sound interesting just thinking about it? I’ve already decided the protagonist’s name as ‘Ruanox’. If you, Serika, pass the message to that Ragna-”

“…..”

Thus, the Duke sold his daughter for the sake of the anime he wanted to make.
