The Ending
Episode 19 [Fate change (2)]

"A..what does it mean my friend betrayed me!?"

Pekik Luis did not accept with Rista's words. According to him it is the most impossible thing, after all, Luis strongly believes in his friends.

Rista explained again, not caring about the look on Luis's face that was angry with him.

[Some of the butterfly effects you cause make their nature change. An enemy that shouldn't exist could have appeared at this moment, you think that demon wouldn't be looking for a host other than you? He would not give up on getting out of the seal and messing up this world's order]

Luis lowered his head. His hands clenched tightly at the thought of Rista's words.

Is correct. Even though it wasn't Luis there must have been someone else who hosted the demon and did the same thing as Luis in the past.

"What should I do?"

Luis doesn't want what he's been through to happen here.

[Protect what you have to protect. But, because the current destiny is changing completely because of you so you must protect those who need you]

Rista paused his words. His eyes glanced at Luis who was looking at him with a stern look. He was eager to help Luis, because he was the one who returned Luis to the past. But, his strength was already drained so much that he could not help Luis any further.

[Sorry. It's out of my control. The few changes you make today will affect the future. Even now you feel it, right? You get into the OASIS organization earlier than you should, it's one of those changes that happens because you go back in time]

Luis nodded in understanding. The fate of this world was on his back now, perhaps an event worse than it used to be could have happened.

"It's okay. I will strengthen myself to protect them all"

Negating Luis' speech made Rista heartless. Moreover, Luis has a face that is exactly like Daaris, making his conscience always want to give anything Luis wants.

Even his heroic nature was the same, the most disgusting trait According to Rista.

[I can lend you my strength but it can only be done once. Don't push yourself, your life is precious]

That one favor and Rista will disappear from the world just like Daaris. For him it was better than living as an obscure spirit like this.

[And you know, one of the butterfly effects that happens to you also affects your closeness to your girl. What hurts more than frenzone? It was familyzone]

Luis felt overwhelmed. He knew this time Cordelia instead considered him as a sister without involving other feelings in it. As Rista said during their first meeting, Luis' struggle to get Cordelia's heart going is going to be difficult now.

"I'm going to try hard to make Cordelia look at me"

[Remember. From now on the future will run differently to what you know, some enemies in the past can be friends and vice versa, the friends you have can be enemies in the future. You have to be careful, don't be naive and seal the demon back]

"I'll do it"

Hearing the resolute reply from Luis made a proud smile appear on Rista's face.

[Good. Oho! Are you wondering where this is? This place is a replica of the workspace Daaris, he really likes to read books and this replica is inside the dimension I created. This room is preoccupied with real time, so how long you are here the time you spend there is only 10 minutes"]

Rista spoke in a carefree tone. Every now and then, he showed Luis the books of the collection of Daaris that were still there.

Luis who saw it thought something, then he opened his mouth.

A pink tinge appeared on Rista's cheeks. He froze in place, then turned his face away.

[B..dumb! I might fall in love with a mortal and careless human like Daaris! He's so far from my type of know!]

Luis just nodded his head in response. A moment like this Rista was very similar to one of Luis' friends.

'Yep, very similar to Six'

The unwillingness to admit it was very similar to Six. Are all elves like this? Luis was curious.

Rista began to sit her body on the sofa. He stared at the ceiling of the room, recalling in his memory the encounter with Daaris in the past.

[I might like it a little.]

Rista muttered—still be heard by Luis.

[Unfortunately I didn't get to tell him that,]

His eyes began to glare, he regretted his past self who was stupid for not admitting it at that time. This time there were only regrets for him.

Rista spoke again, her mouth raised forming a thin smile.

[Don't be like Daaris. He was stupid for sacrificing himself for people who could not even remember him.

As strong as you make sure to always ask for help from your friends, being strong does not mean not crying at all. You can share your burden with friends you trust,]

Now Rista's gaze turned to look at Luis. Luis' crystal netra was very similar to Daaris, although their faces were different but Rista could still see traces of Daaris' descent from there.

Luis nodded.

"good. I'll remember it"

A smile was re-engraved on Rista's face. It feels like today he smiled a lot, it's been a long time that he hasn't done that. In fact, Rista was not sure her smile would look friendly. He did not reflect, therefore he was somewhat worried about the look on his own face.

But, looking at Luis' peaceful expression it was possible that Rista's smile wasn't that bad. He glanced at his fading legs, this time his time was completely up.

[My time is up. I hope I don't have to give you any help in the near future, stay alive and be strong. I believe you can surpass Daaris]

Rista paused his words for a moment. His hands stretched out toward Luis, he rubbed Luis' head briefly before his body disappeared from there.

[You look a lot like him. If only you had worn round glasses and earrings maybe I would have thought you were really Daaris,]

Rista's hand turned downwards, this time he rubbed both of Luis' cheeks gently.

[Destroy the ancient devil books you read in the past. There will be someone else who takes the book, you have to get it first from him]

"Well, I'll do it"

[We'll meet again later, when you need my help. See you later, Daaris, no, Luis Shane de Rowan]
