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…

  1. If I was Makoto I would have taken saint rank magic from Eir-Sama and teleportation from Ira-chan. Then I would have made Holy Maiden Anna as my fourth guardian pack and my wife. Then used time magic for both Anna and myself to travel to the present.

  2. I can already see the drama where furiae will awaken her memories from the past and become the enemy again.

  3. Things are going too fast! Don’t care about the reincarnation for now, I am more worried about Anna. They can change history I am sure, he has contributed enough for sure, right?

  4. Oh man. Missed this release.

    If you really think about it, what RPG Player is asking is whether or not Takki wants to be the father of Highland.
    ….Not the most persuasive argument, so let’s focus on sweetheart Anna, who may or may not follow Takki to the future.

    So Nevia reincarnated too, huh? My gut instinct is Tsui the mystery cat, but I guess it could be Furiae. My impression is that Nevia will keep her memories though. Also, was it just the Moon Oracle that’s always a devilkin?

  5. Dunno how I came to this idea, to be honest I remember reading about this idea in another chapter long ago, but what if Anna/Abel impregnates herself…

  6. Let’s address the issue first that Noel expressed her like For Sakurai & Jealousy towards Furae (In her thought)…Her actions have been similar to Furae basically especially how they fight…She never confessed her love… Let’s also adress the issue How Sakurai avoid Noel and spends time with others more… It’s not Makoto never raised Flag with Noel and she’s one of girls Water princess is wary of… I support Noel being Anna and I always shipped them even before this Ark…

    1. She is in love with Sakurai when he was injured she was worried and when he was in danger in the Demon continent she was basically crying for him.

      Also Noel exist before Makoto’s travel to the past , before he even meets Anna.

  7. Damn, I didn’t know there’s an update today. The notification from WordPress app didn’t show up. But nonetheless, it’s still a good chaptee. Thanks a lot for the chapter!!

    Also, Nevia’s reincarnation is “her”, isn’t she?

    1. I don’t think so….. Actually Isaac fit her more.

      Furiare is like the obvious choice but she doesn’t do anything wrong,but Isaac had a lot of knowledge and he was in charge to resurrect Bifrons and Iblis.

  8. I’m calling it. Anna stays in this time period for a while to create the highland country and than reincarnates to be with Makoto in the future. I bet money her reincarnation will have something to do with the statue that Makoto kept looking at and talking about.

  9. I…. want……… NOAHHHHHH!!!!!!!! And Just Cain with Makoto clearing the dungeon

  10. I don’t think it is Furi just because she looks like nevia. Anna is identical to noel and noel is with the light hero

  11. Thanks for the chapter~!
    You guys were fast, though it’s been mostly me trapped in the cultivation world.
    1 chapter away from epilogue.

    “You already know my reincarnated self, you know?”
    IT MUST BE THE CAT ISN’T IT?? TSUI IS SUS!!!

    Anyway, here’s author responses to readers comments this chapter:
    A: Many has commented on Noah’s appearance
    A: There’s not enough appearance of the title heroine Noah in this 10th arc, but there should be many appearance in the next ones

  12. Right, Prediction Time!!!

    1st: Makoto’s ticket back to the “present” has already been shown in earlier chapters (I forget which), when he goes to visit the Great Sage and finds the sealed Ice Coffin in a back room. I’ve had a gut feeling, given his pension for water magic, that, the moment he got sent back in time, that coffin was going to be his return ticket.

    2nd: Noel is in fact, a reincarnated Anna. Based on this chapter listing the requirements of reincarnation, and most early chapters after time travel compare Anna to looking almost identical, if not exactly identical to Noel in the future. We add to that the conversation from Chapter 88 that others have so kindly shared. I have no doubt now that Anna chose this method and is Noel because of how much she knows regarding the true story of “Savior Abel”.

    3rd: Nevia is most likely Tsui the demon cat. While there is the whole “Reincarnators retain their memories” mcguffin people like to point out. I’ve yet to see an isekai or reincarnation story revolve around this happening AFTER the character in question hit’s puberty. In my mind, this rules out Furiae. Tsui on the other hand, even before becoming charmed, approached Makoto first. And if it really is Nevia inside the cat, who is to say she couldn’t fake the effects of charm or curse them to think she was charmed? Remember, we’ve got an Elementary Rank Caster in the form of Makoto, and a near God-Ranked one in the form of Nevia.

    These are my predictions. the first I am all but certain is a reality, the second, I am a strong believer of given this chapter and the dialogue exchanges involving Noel in the previous chapters. the Third…. by the end of it ll, Nevia is more demon than demonkin now after her hentai-grade fusion with Iblis. I feel the chances of her reincarnating as Furi, while having the future-sight of destiny magic, is low. Nevia wants world peace by any means, since Furiae found her peace in Makoto, I don’t think she’d reincarnate as Furi, just so she doesn’t rob her of her peace.

    1. I’m not sure he even needs to reincarnate. Couldn’t he just freeze/kill himself for the duration and get revived in the future by Noel?

      He’s going to have a harder time against the remaining demon lords now that he’s used his divinity breaking the tower.

  13. Leave it to our Ira-chan to almost forget to check if the future has been saved. Good thing Makoto reminded her.

    Well that’s annoying. They pulled the “It was actually a clone” card. So not only is the Iblis they fought weaker than the original but now that history has changed, the Iblis that will reincarnate in the future will be stronger than he originally was.

    So Nevia will also reincarnate and Makoto has already met her reincarnation? Man I REALLY hope it doesn’t turn out how the Highland nobles claimed and Furiae really is Nevia’s reincarnation. I really dislike in stories where the love interest suddenly out of nowhere turns evil and betrays the MC because it’s almost always just done for the shock factor and drama. I hope Nevia reincarnates as Tsui. I think I remember they mentioned Tsui is female and I think it would be hilarious if Nevia miscalculated thinking that she’ll be able to place herself in the very midst of her enemies only to forget that Makoto is immune to fate so any future Nevia might see either never happens or Makoto changes it somehow. Like Nevia thinks she’ll be safe as Tsui as she evolves into her adult form (since we have been told Tsui is a demonic beast in a larval stage) but doesn’t account for Makoto Charming Tsui and Furiae also Charming her into being a docile kitty cat pet.

    RPG Player is asking if Makoto will marry Anna but let’s face it, he will turn her down. He’ll say Abel’s line about there being a girl waiting for him and eventually leave. Though he’ll probably make a promise with Anna to either take her with him or to somehow meet her in the future. I mean Makoto has already made promises that should be impossible so what’s one more? Well regardless of what happens, Anna won’t marry some other guy to leave descendants to found Highland. The Japanese and Chinese have this weird hang up where any female love interests are almost always virgins. Even if they’ve lived for thousands or millions of years or have been married before, they’ll somehow still remain virgins. So since it’s like that then it’s pretty likely that it’ll be the same with Anna. Either some other previously unknown relative will suddenly show up and they’ll be the ones who found Highland, some completely unrelated people found Highland and just claim to be Anna’s descendants in order to legitimize themselves and Noel just coincidentally looks like Anna, Anna adopts a kid who goes on to found Highland and again it’s just coincidence that Noel looks like Anna or Anna turns out to be able to magically create descendants due to her being half Heavenly Wingedkin which are a species of only females. Well there’s also the possibility that Makoto loses his V-card and has kids with her but I think that’s very unlikely since Makoto is actively aiming for the ending where he doesn’t lose his virginity until the end after everything has been resolved.

  14. In this chapter it made me think that the name Abel is now referring to Makoto but due to the confidentiality of his intervention to the past so the only ones who knew about this secret would be Mel and Momo (as Johnny is dead), thus the history of Abel leaving Anna for another woman isn’t changed. So I take it that the descendants of the Highland family ain’t really descendants of Anna but just adoptive figures to keep face in front of the public and that Anna also reincarnated but became a real man whom we know that is Ryousuke which is why he is so attached to Makoto much to his chagrin.

  15. There are only one chapter ahead of this. And that one too author just post it yesterday (around the same time this chapter post. Author release like 1 chapter a week and I think reikogai probably will set behind author 1 chapter?

  16. Thanks for the chapter!
    As usual, too many bombshells in this chapter…
    What if the coffin is really a double coffin? ^^
    And I’m really horrified by Nevia reincarnation. I don’t think it’s Isaac, personality doesn’t match, but please, don’t let it be Furiae!
    That would be awful…
    I hope it’s Tsui.
    Won’t spoiler myself but next week won’t come fast enough

  17. Thanks for the chapter! ^^
    I’m on the cat faction! XD
    Tsui is suspect because with Nevia being tainted by Iblis’s energy she is more likely to reincarnate into something like a monster, but Tsui being the Great Demon Lord could really be funny like “My Pet the Great Demon Lord” story and that in fact Iblis has gave up on world domination and just want to chill with Makoto. x)
    And if Iblis is Tsui we can go with Furiae being Nevia, but because Iblis just want to chill she is ok to stay quiet and be in love with both Iblis and Makoto while the demon side go crazy on their own without any input from them. XD

    And my favorite theory for Makoto’s answer is him leaving for the futur but giving her all his remaining time in the past (and possibly starting the Highland lineage? x) ).

  18. Thanks for the chapter. Lots of bombshells were dropped here, but I’m glad that Makoto will be returning to the present at long last.

  19. Could also just not go on dogshit websites voluntarily where you never know if you’re going to get fucked

  20. HELL YEAHHHHHHH!!!! ITS FINALLY DONE THIS ARC.

    Next chapter is great sage momo’s(1000 year later) pov

    And to me the most suspicious of nevia’s reincarnation is tsui,

    Evidence is that:
    The cat still attracted to him even though he didnt using the charm and it didnt act loyal to him while makoto is using charm at all.

    Hates to be touch by makoto while hes the owner and keeps sticking to furiae

    Also theres a chance that the cat has a transformation skill that can turns her into humanoid

  21. Thanks for the chapter.

    – How will Makoto come back?
    + time traveling (Only a free Noah would be a able to do it at that time)
    + wait a thousand years
    > an artefact (there is a artefact to dial Ira 24/7, so why not)
    > change race (unlikely)
    > the free wish for liberating Noah (how many of you have forgotten that one?)

    + Sleep a thousand years
    > Cryo sleep (the easiest solution)
    > artefacts (once again, because why not?)

    1. Who is Nevia in the present Era?

      Furiae ? (After all her objective is impossible without the moon oracle skill) .

      Tsui ? (he is suspicious after all)

      Isaac ? (it would make things so much easier)

      In the first place can she
      Reincarne as a pure human?
      Believe in another divinity than the Moon Goddess?
      Or even keeping the skills of her former life ?

  22. Tsui =demon=prob TGL or minion of TGL
    About nevia, she’s half demon so suitable candidates are narrow(furi,some other half demon)
    Sa-sans sister is a monster tho so I don’t think she’s anyone’s reincarnation target.

    I think the reason forneus is still alive in the future is why he made a deal with Makoto that helped him clear the deep sea temple cause Makoto would have 0 problems killing even without being empowered in any way because of the amount of water spirits in the ocean.

  23. honestly i can’t commend osaki-sensei (the god, the author himself) enough for writing this masterpiece

  24. Urghhh it really makes me want to spoil myself for the next chapter….now I’m really hoping Nevia’s reincarnation isn’t Furiae because of the unnecessary drama but also it’ll give her lots of character development since she’s already fallen with Makoto…

  25. Does no one think that Nevia reincarnated as the bishop? He seems to have way too much animosity for Makoto for no real reason. Makoto has physically meet the guy. And it would also explain how he got the demi-god child of Zeus to attack Mokoto with little reason to do so.

    Also from what I can remember, Makoto hasn’t actually meet Issac, just his puppets. Though by that same metric, it makes Issac sus as he seems to be able to control people like puppets.

    And last thought on the matter, has it been confirmed that the bishop isn’t Issac?

    I kinda also doubt that Nevia reincarnated as Furie, it doesn’t seem to fit with the author’s style as well as their comments on the love interests (like no NTR, etc.).

  26. Thanks for the chapter!!

    “Ara? We have already met, you know?”

    What if she reincarnated as Noel? Since in chapter 109:

    My impression of him at a glance was…that he is a normal young man.

    He doesn’t look like a skilled mage or a strong warrior.

    He looks like a good person, but slightly undependable.

    A normal person you can find anywhere.

    That’s what my [Discerning Eye] told me.

    But my instincts told me…

    (What…is he? It bothers me.) (Noel)

    What if her instincts tells her that she has already met him as Nevia???

  27. Nevia is probably Tsui (the cat). I bet she charms/possesses Furi and stabs Sakurai in the vision Ira saw.

    Couldn’t Ira just make Makoto Immortal to get him back to the future? Seems simpler than finding a DeLorean.

    1. well, iblis said that making makoto an immortal will make things troublesome for ira, so no. things might change if ira and makoto fall in love with each other.

  28. Aha! So that was the reason for my confusion, the 10 chapters was a mistranslation. So I’m pretty sure hes gonna reject her with the famous line “there is somone waiting for me” but I’m also expecting somone to almost immediately follow up with the suggestion for her to follow him to the future. Now for the matter about Nevia reincarnating, the obvious answer is Furie but that’s also the reason I think it’s not her however we do have confirmation they have met. My gut wants to say its Issac (serpent leader guy) but I’m probably wrong and it’s someone unexpected

  29. How about anna joins him to his journey back to his timeline, or the holy gods ascend her as a divine spirit/saint or something, it will also help the holy gods for the battle of powered up Iblis.

    I think the future light hero will be having a hard time if its just him, hes not even awakened.

    There is also an option to reincarnate in the future like what iblis and nevia did.

    Remember that Abel disappeared after he beat Iblis right? Maybe, just maybe that Abel tried to use the reincarnation magic.

    Anna will have lots of mana if bathed in the sun right?

    I dont want her to be the first wife, please author lol

    Thanks for the update

  30. Remember who is said to be the reincarnation of Abel? Sakurai!
    I think he will have a split personality as Sakurai and as Anna though the only thing I can think about on how Sakurai becomes Anna is like Abel/Anna they have the power to choose which gender they can be.
    Nevia is either Tsui or Furi.

  31. I hope Furi san is not the reincarnation of Nevia. Both of them when.combine will be more super charming.

    I think Makoto if he choose to marry anna, they can make offsprings in this time and let them manage the kingdom of highland and then proceed to the future. Its a win win situation

    1. Nope, next week would be the last chapter of this arc.
      But the next arc will probably be the last.

  32. Nevia in the future, Nevia looks similar to Fu-chan, Ira saw a future where Fu-chan will stab Sakurai.
    Isn’t that actually Nevia that stabs Sakurai, but Ira mixed up Nevia and Fu-chan?? This is Ira after all.
    As for who is Nevia in the future, my bet is Tsui. Tsui is a black cat-like demon beast no?? And Nevia has black hair.

  33. Just when I gave up on Furiae being Nevia’s reincarnation. This chapter gave me curveball.

    Noooo, Furiae is pure! Pls let it be someone else! Pls!!!

    The only person here with longevity problems is Johnny and Anna.

    But Johnny being Johnny, he already has spread his seed and Makoto already has Lucy.

    So Anna, is she really the one inside the casket in Momo’s house?

    Also aghh! Why? Author-san no! Furi is pure! Seiso! Seiso I tell you!

  34. “You already know my reincarnated self, you know?” (Nevia)
    — rather than Furiae, I’d prefer to believe she reincarnates as the pet (i forgot its name)

  35. Hey…. Aren’t Furie cats the most suspicious ….

    And speaking of Mary, didn’t she ever have her own POV? I thought it was obvious she wasn’t Nevia, unless Mary couldn’t remember …

  36. Dang. I really thinking it would be 10 chapter more XD Nevia Reincarnation? Maybe Isaac? Btw i would feel bad for anna if makoto back to the future before he do her .-. give her a happy ending or take her to the future with you makoto!!

  37. Thanks for the Chapter (≧▽≦)

    Now i wonder what will happen to Anna when Makoto’s going back to the future, i hope she followed him. Like really, she should follow him

  38. Thanks for the chapter ^ω^

    Also it’s been a while since I’ve started reading on this site so it’s nice saying hello to you all since i feel like I’ve grown to know some of you. Yoroshiku onegai shimasu

  39. Thanks for the chapter.

    I’m kinda sad, I spoiled myself in 4chan by mistake. I was thinking that we were at par with the japanese chapters. Maybe the author published more chapters recently or with luck the Anon was lying.

  40. If Furiae is Nevia’s reincarnation then she failed already as she has fallen to Makoto ya know. And probably freezing himself then unsealing in the future would be the craziest thing he would do.

    Thank you for this chapter!

    1. It may be the craziest thing he would do but I think it is the most realistic way to come back to the future.

  41. Have we safely stopped the change in the future?

    (Ah.) (Ira)

    – Ira-sama!?

    -o-o-o-o-o-

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

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

    – Ouch. That burns!

    -o-o-o-o-o-o-

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

    – They don’t make them like they used to…and they still don’t.

    1. Nevia does not want to meet Makoto in the future because she knows she is in love with him and if she returns. She would not be able to choose between Iblis or him. In short Makoto ntred Iblis.

  42. Thanks for the chapter.

    Am I the only one who thinks that the original timeline is the one Makoto’s taking right now? He did not change anything lol. Also remember the Ice Coffin in Momo’s Room? This is just a hunch, but that probably contains Anna who is frozen. The moment Makoto returns to the future, Anna and Momo will welcome him together.

    Alas, I think Makoto will master the Time Spirits and conquer the Deep Sea Temple in the next arc. But they won’t be able to remove the seal placed on Noah, but something will definitely happen. Remember the time Noah met Makoto for the first time? She immediately showed her true form, knowing her intelligence and cunningness, she would never do that unless she was sure of it that Makoto can look at her directly. They definitely met in the past! And it was in the Deep Sea Temple.

    All of these are guesses. Damnit, Noah. You cunning witch!

    1. Nope, because there were several event said during the arc that happened in the first original time-line but didn’t happen here
      – Abel soloing Iblis and losing an arm and a leg (didn’t happen here)

      – The party fighting a million in the future highlands
      (happened in the north continent because Makoto didn’t want to wait)

      – Cain getting killed by Abel
      (Didn’t happen because of Makoto’s presence there)

      – Almost everyone getting slaughtered by Abel in the labyrinth.
      (didn’t happened because of Makoto’s intervention)

      – Abel’s master getting killed by Bifrons
      (in this story she get brutally killed by Cain before telling her last word Abel that should have awaken him as the light hero.
      That the source of the change and it happened because of Iblis time travel)

  43. I-Is this what’s called taking responsibility?
    Yes, it is, Makoto. Anyways, shouldn’t be possible to transform Anna-chan in a vampire? Could be a way for her to stay with Makoto in the future, but also, even though there is that possibility it would still be needed that she have descendants in this era so Highland could be make, someone adopted could also work, but that can form other problems.

    Hmm, Furiae should be Nevia, and in the case that Anna-chan also go to the future but using a method like reincarnation as Nevia, then she would be the princess which could explain the similarity, but that would bring the problem of her being the girlfriend of the future Light Hero.

  44. I am surprised Makoto didn’t sacrificed Nevia to Eir for pulling that one.

    Nevia probably reincarnated into Tsui or as Aya’s sister.

  45. Thanks for the chapter!

    Makoto will go back to the future! However… He will leave descendants before that e.e

      1. Your not the only one thou,
        Reasons for this, Only mary has no complete character development in the story( in my opinion) i think the author would deliberately introduce her, and be forgotten character( woman) on makoto’s life. After all, Mary is the first woman to openly flirt with makoto( i mean the kinship🤤😏) before the others.
        So I’m 70% it’s her, the remaining is % is for tsui.

  46. Thankyou for the chapter!

    With the way things are going, the highland royal family is actually Makoto’s descendants and Furiae is apparently Nevia’s reincarnated self. I’m worried that if Furiae is indeed Nevia she would turn on Makoto and the others when they meet with Iblis in the future…

      1. Damn it’s indeed sad. The pain of waiting for the chapter to be released for the entire week. Even though it can be considered as fast release I still can’t help myself for my desire to know what happens next ASAP

  47. Now taking bets! Who is the most suspicious person in the future that might actually be Nevia? Or do you think she was just winding Makoto up, and she’s gone for good?

    If I were pointing fingers, princess Noel seems a bit questionable! But what do you think? 😆

    1. I thought for sure that she had done something to Furiare-san and I was angry. I hope nothing happens to his friends and girlfriends. I don’t really know who could be Nevia in the future.

    2. I would bet on Furiae or Tsui. But I think the chances that Furiae is the reincarnation of Nevia are low. She met Althena after all. I doubt Althena would have been deceived.

        1. The reincarnation of Nevia must have at least some importance in the story, so I suppose that their name has been given.
          My list of suspects: Furiae, Tsui, Mary, Emily (because she is a Devilkin, without intending to be racist).

      1. I’m gonna bet on the cat too. It explains why she spends so much time snuggling up to Fury and Makoto. Anyway, next chapter is up already in raws. Plz translate. Don’t make us wait another week ;_;

    3. Mine is Furiae. Ira was targetting Furiae in the past with no apparent reason aside from being a possible suspect on stabbing Sakurai in the future. She’s not really that kind of person except if she had a hidden motive and that she knew Furiae was Nevia’s reincarnation. After all, among the goddesses who have directly interacted with Nevia (Ira, Noah, Naia) she’s the only one who has the power on the mortal realm to detain Furiae. Maybe she’s scared back then that Furiae would change sides.

      1. Ira was also suspecting Makoto too. It may be the same reason. 1000 years ago the Moon Oracle taking the side of the Demons, just as Noah’s Apostle. And she can’t see their fate, so that’s enough reason to suspect them (with a side of arrogance that’s since been knocked down).

        But yeah, I also think Furiae. Only I think she didn’t have such memories last time Makoto saw her. Memories that will awaken at a later time, or with some specific trigger… could make for quite the nasty trap. A trusted ally suddenly turns enemy without warning.

    1. 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

      1. 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?

      2. 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.)

    1. 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

      1. 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…. 😂😅

    1. 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?

        1. 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.

      1. 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

        1. 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

      2. 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.

      3. 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?

      4. 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)

      5. 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….

        1. 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.

          1. 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?

    1. “(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 !
      https://i.imgur.com/CJUegqS.jpg

      1. 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)

          1. 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

      2. “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.

      3. 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

        1. 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?

      4. 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)

        1. 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.

          1. 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?

      5. 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.

        1. 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 ?

      6. 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.

      7. 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.

      8. 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.

      9. 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.

      1. 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

    2. 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.

      1. 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.

      2. “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.

        1. 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.

    3. 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… =/
