「Fran, Sword-san, we’re losing our connection!」
Said Rhyn to us. It must mean that this mysterious event was coming to an end.
At the very least, I must say something to her!
「Nn. See you, Me」
『Fran! Remember that I will always be on your side! No matter what happens, forever!』
It was right after I shouted that.
The other Fran, that dimwit me, and the other Rhyn disappeared.
『So it’s over?』
「Yeah, we got disconnected from them」
As Rhyn said, I couldn’t feel their presence anymore.
『Hey, Rhyn. What was that?』
「That was Fran and Master from the other timeline. That was when Sierra, Zelos Reed, and Zelyse got transferred into our timeline」
『Has that me… turned into a mere sword?』
「Yes」
「So that’s what Master is going to be?」
Fran muttered sadly. It seemed that she had imagined what I would be like if I became like that.
『What’s gonna happen to that Fran?』
「I’m sorry. I’m not entirely sure anymore. But, you know, the future must have changed a lot. That’s why our connection was severed」
「What was the future like before the change? Was it not so good?」
「Fran runs out of control in desperation and uses all of her power to match the piece of the Evil God sealed within Master. Causing a lot of people to get involved in the mess she made」
That’s awful… But that Fran was definitely in danger from being over strengthened. And that Me, who was supposed to stop her, was in such a state.
『But the future has changed, hasn’t it?』
「Yes. It was thanks to you guys. The words that Fran and Sword-san said to the two of you over there had changed the future in a significant way…」
『So that Fran won’t be in danger of dying like what Rhyn said she would, right?』
「Yes. At the very least, that Sword-san should have regained his heart as a person. After all, if the future hadn’t changed that much, our connection wouldn’t have been severed so suddenly」
『I see…』
「Now we just have to hope that their future has changed for the better」
「Nn…」
I wondered what happened to us over there? Did he manage to heal Fran’s broken heart even a little? Did I, who had become nothing more than a sword, become any better?
「Master, I’m sure they’ll be fine」
『You think so?』
「Nn, after all, our words must have reached them. So, no worries」
『You’re right. They were Me and Fran after all! With a little spark, I’m sure we’ll be able to change for the better』
「Nn」
Now that Fran mentioned it, she was right.
『It seems that the Announcer-san over there also recovered』
《Yes. I also have shared some information with the individual named Announcer-san over there. She will surely make good use of it》
『Some information?』
《I have shared the information I have analyzed from the individual named Master and the methods to prevent him from adapting too far to his sword body》
『I-I see…』
Did she mean the information about my personality? It seemed she had concluded that by using that information, the Announcer-san over there should be able to come up with a measure so that the Me over there didn’t turn into a mere sword.
That was a relief. As expected of Announcer-san, she was very capable! But I felt a little embarrassed though because it was like my mind had been analyzed.
《We also succeeded in exchanging some skill information》
『Does that mean we got a new skill?』
《Yes, I provided them with the information about Evil Crusher and Magic Power Transfer, while that Announcer-san provided us with the information about Spirit Detection and Evil Spirit Control. Based on the information, we succeeded in obtaining the skill Spirit Detection and the unique skill Evil Spirit Control. Also――》
W-what a long explanation! It seemed that Announcer-san managed to exchange a tremendous amount of information in that short time.
《Successfully obtained the unique skill Divine Power Manipulation based on the information of Evil Crusher and Evil Spirit Control. Successfully obtained the Unique Skill Spirit’s Hand based on the information of Divine Mind Manipulation and Spirit Detection》
I-I’d gotten a lot of skills. Simply put, Spirit Detection was just as its name implied, it allowed the user to detect spirits. With this, we’d be able to detect spirits with our skills now.
The Evil Spirit Control was a skill to manipulate the Evil Spirit. It seemed to be similar to the Evil Spirit version of Magic Control, but it seemed to be of a higher level and had a stronger influence on the target.
And I was glad we got our hand at the Divine Power Manipulation. This was a skill that made the user better at handling Divine Attributes. So, we might be able to reduce the backlash from using the Divine Attribute with this skill.
And the Spirit’s Hand. This was a skill that allowed the user to not only see spirits but also influence them. It could even allow us to touch and attack the spirits. Well, it seemed to be quite difficult to master. So, I guess it was gonna depend on our future training.
I wish I could have tried everything first, but it seemed that I didn’t have the time to do so.
「I’m sorry, but it’s time for us to get back to our timeline. Be careful…」
『Oi! Isn’t that gonna be dangerous…?』
I didn’t know what would happen if we suddenly went back to our normal time from our current state of super acceleration. The worst that could happen would be that we could lose our balance.
After all, we were in the middle of being launched at a very high speed from the sky to the Great Magic Beast.
I wondered whether I could ask her to put us back slowly, but――.
「Rhyn, you okay? You look so pale」
「I just pushed myself a little too hard… But not anymore…」
I could see the scenery around us begin to flow by us slowly. It seemed like time had begun to start flowing again!
《Three seconds left until time acceleration is deactivated》
『Fran! Don’t lose your balance!』
「Nn! Leave it to me!」
Fran nodded with a motivated look on her face. Apparently, she was inspired by seeing that Fran and me over there.
「We can’t afford to lose!」
『Ou! You’re right!』
She was not saying to what, but I felt the same way!
