[Ao]

After the sudden commotion, Shido decided to not mind them, take them back to the real world, and go straight to the kitchen.

When he does that, Reine has a shocked expression on her face but she tried to control it.

She couldn't believe that there is someone who could do this, even her original self can only manipulate some events in this world but not control them.

Shido notice her reaction but didn't mind her while looking at the groceries that he currently holding.

He has been holding them since earlier so it's better to put them now in their respective place and start to cook their breakfast.

"Since all of you are here, why not eat here?"

He tells while preparing his ingredients.

They thought for a moment.

They might suspect him as not the real Shido but they can feel their stomach growling from hunger so they decided to surrender to his trap and wait for their breakfast.

…

In another dimension, somewhere on another planet.

In fine weather, a man is leaning on a big rock, getting some rest.

This man is the one who help Ao to ascend as a god and the one who stabbed him in his last world, his name is Ishigami Yu.

After gaining some strength, he starts to scribble on the rock with the use of his blood.

He coughs more blood but instead of wiping it, he uses it to continue his writing.

The words he wrote suddenly luminate and turn into a drawing.

It shows a wheel like those wheels that have been used in a carriage in the past.

With the use of the lights, it looks like the wheel is spinning and his surrounding is covering him.

What he created is a barrier but this barrier isn't supposed to protect him but instead, to imprison himself.

Ishigami killed Sung Jin-woo with the help of a thousand Hunters on Earth.

However, all of the hunters who lay a trap on another planet with him died, except him and 4 other women that he protected with his life by force-warping them back to Earth.

Sung Jin-woo is possessed by the mage of the beginning that's why this happened.

He doesn't know what's in the mind of that person but that doesn't matter now since Ialda is slowly possessing him.

Ialda, the mage of the beginning, has the ability to possess a person and can possess another person if that person killed the last person she possessed.

Since Ishigami's attack is the one who killed Sung Jin-woo, it means that he will be the next body of Ialda.

But before she could do whatever she wanted with his body, he decided to raise a barrier that even he can't get out even though he is the one who make it.

"All my plans are ruined. Hey Destiny, is this the path you want me to take?"

He laughed after he said this and resume.

"I hope that I didn't learn this time and space magic. I hope that I didn't kill the red dragon back then. I hope that I didn't need to meet Ao just to be sure that the universe will be reborn."

Then he sighs.

"I hope that I didn't become the guardian of the destiny of every time and space."

However, all of it is already happened.

He couldn't do anything about it and now, Ialda was about to possess him.

"But still, Destiny's naming sense truly sucks. The guardian of the destiny of every time and space. Whoever normal person can think of this stupid title? Oh, yeah him. hahaha…"

He retorted while laughing.

Looking up at the sky, he began to be silent and started to reminisce about his past until the time inside the barrier froze.

…

Back on Earth.

In someone's mansion, 4 women appeared out of nowhere.

"This is…"

Yui said confusingly.

"It's our home."

Utaha said with a surprised look.

"Where's Yu?"

Realizing something, Alice immediately looks around.

"Yeah, where's Yu?"

Hearing Alice's words, Akeno repeats her words.

However, when they couldn't see him anywhere, they suddenly shed in tears.

Back then, If they didn't insist to look around for themselves, their plan might not get failed.

Now, Yu needed to sacrifice himself to be the next vessel for Ialda and was about to imprison himself to a barrier that can stop the time.

Holding a cup that Yu gave to them, they couldn't help but cry harder.

Yu said that this cup can save everyone, however, they don't know how to use it.

After some minutes, their cries finally stop.

They decided to go to their respective bedrooms and enclosed themselves to everyone.

A day has passed but no one goes out in their room.

A week later, all of them, at the same time, decided to go out of their room.

Grumbling about their past mistakes is something Yu doesn't want them to do and also, he didn't die, it's just what he has done is worst than dying.

Looking at each other, they force to smile but they can't do it.

The atmosphere is so heavy on this kitchen table but no one wanted to cut this tension until Alice looks at the cup that they forgot to place.

The same cup that Yu gave is on the kitchen table and for some reason, emits a small light.

Until this small light becomes shine like a sun that blinds all of them and the surrounding become white.

When the lights faded, they look at their surroundings and notice their current appearance.

It seems that they back 15 years ago before they met Yu.

…

In Itsuka's Residences.

While cooking breakfast for the Ratatoskr's crew, his head suddenly gets an ache that he let go of his spatula just to hold his head.

Hearing the sound of the spatula and Shido's groaning, Kotori immediately goes to his side while saying "Big brother, big brother." with concern for him.

Suddenly, images of the unknown are coming to his head, voices that he felt that he knows, and the most important person in his life, all of his past memory finally come back to him.

He remembers all of it.

"Rize."

He uttered this name with emotion.
