Compared to the God Realm, the Sanctuary is but a small island.
Still, it has quite the size…… However, unnn.
Somehow, I knew that Shiro-san would be in this place.
Even though the skies above our heads are different from that time…… This place, with flowers blooming all around our feet, is where Shiro-san and I first met.
The edge of the flower field, illuminated by the stars in the skies…… The sight of Shiro-san standing in a place where she can look down on the God Realm is truly artistic, and I couldnt help but admire her beauty.
[……Kaito-san Why are you here]
[Errr, I really had to tell Shiro-san something……]
Shiro-sans eyes seemed to shake a bit at my appearance, but with her usual expressionless face and intonationless voice, she asked.
[Something…… you really had to tell me]
[……Yes.]
As I nodded my head, I was reminded of the fortune-telling I received from Elise-san back then.
The reversed door…… That for me, victory in the true sense of the word isnt achieved by simply beating Shiro-san, but by finding the key to open that door.
Throughout the final ordeal, I had also been thinking about this matter too.
What this key is, and what could the real victory be……

And I found something…… that I think would be the key.
However, Im not really sure…… if it really was the correct answer or not.
Its just my hunch but…… I think this would probably be my “first and final chance”.
I only have one chance to turn that key, and if I make a mistake…… That door will never open again.
I feel like Shiro-san herself would tightly lock that door, never to be opened again.
Thats why, I hesitated for a moment.
However…… Well, at the end of the day, all I can do is just be honest about my feelings, and even though I dont know whether my answer is correct or not…… Ill just tell Shiro-san exactly how I feel right now.
[……”If I were the one who first met you…… If it was me who had saved you…… Would I have become…… special to you”]
[ ! ]
As soon as I said those words, agitation could be clearly seen appearing in Shiro-sans eyes.
[……I dont remember where or from whom I heard these words.
However, just these words remained strongly in my mind.
I guess these really are…… words said to me by Shiro-san, arent they]
[………………….]
These words have been stuck in my head ever since the Six Kings Festival.
I dont even remember who told me those words, but I felt that I should never forget them……

Shiro-san didnt say anything.
However, her silence itself made me sure.
It was her who said these words, and that these words contain her wish……
[My answer to this question is this.
“Even if the order in which we met changed, Im sure that today wont change.”]
[…………………]
For a moment, a hint of sadness flashed across Shiro-sans face, but her expression changed with my next words.
[Because even now, Shiro-san is still “special” to me, “someone that couldnt be replaced by others”…… I cant think of any idea how you can be more special than that.
So, I guess it wont change.]
[……Eh]
[I mean, honestly speaking, I dont really think theres anyone thats as airheaded and absurd as Shiro-san, you know]
[……Eh Eh]
How should I say this…… I saw something very unusual.
Shiro-san looked clearly bewildered.
Its like she doesnt understand whats going on……

[……Special I am special…… Even though I didnt save Kaito-san……]
[Youre very particular about that, arent you…… Hmm, then, who was it that treated me when I was badly injured in Rigforeshia]
[……It was me.]
[Then, doesnt that mean Shiro-san saved me]
[……Is that how it is]
[That, it is.]
It seems that Shiro-san is obsessed with the idea of saving me, so even if its a bit forceful, I decided to push her in that direction.
Well, of course, I know that what Shiro-san meant when she talked about “saving” is something else, but I cant really do anything about that without my memory being erased, so Ill have to convince her with something else.
[……And one more thing.
Do you remember The first time Shiro-san and I met…… Shiro-san said youd give me what I wanted, to which I turned down, didnt I]
Updated from lightnovelpub[.]com
[Yes.]
[I know its too late to say this now, but thank you very much.
Its because Shiro-san brought that kind of choice in front of me…… that Ive figured out what I really want.]
[……………]
[But well…… Its that.]
Stopping my words that sounds like Im trying to convince the shaken Shiro-san for the moment…… I walked before Shiro-san and expressed my feelings.
[……It doesnt matter.
Whether the order we met or what youve done…… Shiro-san has helped me many times.
There were many times when I was being swung around, but the time we spent together was really fun and made me feel happy.
I was drawn to Shallow Vernal, who wasnt like any other…… So, Ill say it again.
Youve been special to me for a long time…… No one can take your place, for youre someone special to me.]
[…………………]
When I told Shiro-san that she was special and irreplaceable with a smile, her eyes opened wide and she fell silent.
Then after a little while…… She suddenly lowered her head.
[……F- Fufu……]

[Shiro-san]
[……Haha, fufufu, is that so…… Ive already been special to Kaito-san huh…… Ahaha, even though I should have always been reading your mind…… How is it that I didnt know this]
I had seen Shiro-san smile several times before.
But this was the first time Id ever seen her laugh with such genuine joy.
Shiro-san then laughed like that for a while, before she turned her gaze to the Sanctuarys sky.
[……Ahh…… “Im really glad…… that I created this world”.]
[……………….]
[In this world, there are things I dont know…… and things I cant do……]
Saying this, Shiro-san turned her eyes that had some tears on its corners to me and filled with deep emotions, she spoke.
[……and I have…… ” a story I cant end”…… Ahh, this is……]

Ill probably never forget the expression on Shiro-sans face today.
In the field of flowers illuminated by the stars, a surprisingly gentle smile appeared on the Goddess lips.
[……This is…… quite the “happiness”.]
The look on her face as she seemed to sing about how happy she is that there are things she cant do…… looked so inexplicably beautiful that I was lost for words.
[Thank you, Kaito-san…… and, congratulations.
My beloved, my singularity…… You had indeed defeated the “God of the End that I am”.
For the first time in my life…… I now stand in a place that is not at the end.]
I wasnt sure what she meant by that, but apparently, the key I found was the right one.
I see, indeed…… It seems like behind the door, I really had found an amazing hidden treasure.
I think that the best reward of the ordeal is seeing the expression on Shiro-sans face now…… her unbelievably heartfelt, gentle smile.
