Return of Both Arms

After the end of my conversation with the strongest transcendent, Kai-sama, two men whose fate deeply connected with me

before I lost my memories stood before me.

This must be the last trial imposed on me by Kai-sama, to let these two to judge me.

Maybe, Tetle had some sort of misunderstanding due to my appeal to him before. That's why he should be on guard against

me.

The current me understood everything. Both Tetle and Somni wouldn't forgive me even if I was asking for their apologies for

my past actions. I mean, it was the greatest betrayal for them, something that no one would forgive no matter what. Thus,

the only thing I could do to convince them was to tell them everything.

「Tetle, Somni, the current me has something that I want to protect. And my strength alone is far from enough to do that.」

「Which mouth says that! You are the one who betrayed us! We might've already died by now if mister Deimos and Shifu

doesn't save us back then!」

Just as I had expected, Somni raised his voice in denial.

「I feel the same way. No matter how much Your Highness reflects on your past action, it won't change the fact that you tried

to kill both of us. Rather, it's a literal undeniable fact! We still can't forgive you for what you did back then, even if Our

respected Shifu himself who asked us to forgive you!」

Both Somni and Tetle had the same opinion.

I could understand why they refused so vehemently. I mean, the past me deemed them as incompetent and literally sent

people to kill them. There was no way they would lend me a hand just because I repented of my past action.

Both of them who knew the past me wouldn't easily recognize the current me.

「Please don't misunderstand. I'm not asking you to help me just because I have people that I want to protect. I'm asking you

to become my watcher.」

From this point, half of what I said is just an excuse, the other half is my real intention. I had to persuade both of them with

this. I had to avoid that worst end at all cost.

「Watcher? Who are we to watch? the monsters? Or the demon race that you subdued?」

It seems they had yet to grasp my real attention. Seeing Somni frowned as he asked me,

「It's me of course.」

It was obvious from the way I spoke.

「Watching, Your Highness?」

Tetle repeating my words, trying to guess my real attention.

「Yes. I mean, I'm just a weak, tiny, childish, timid, and coward human.」

「Indeed.」

「You only realized that huh.」

Both of them agreed immediately. I was smiling wryly seeing the two people with polar opposite personality replied in

tandem,

「That's why maybe I will make the same mistake in the future. When that happen, I hope you two can finish me off quickly

before I returned to the past me.」

I straightened my back and bowed to them.

「Hah?」

Hearing my remark, Somni's eyes opened wide as he raised a disarrayed voice,

「NO! I REFUSE!」

Tetle refused vehemently.

Seeing Tetle's reaction, I was convinced that Tetle might've already made up his mind.

「Kai-sama, what should I do if they refused to recognize me?」

Hearing my question, Kai-sama raised a smile,

「Not much. You'll receive your trial as it is.」

He replied frankly.

「Am I going to be abandoned?」

Seeing that I couldn't reach that goal, I was literally defeated. Well, since I already had a meeting with Kai-sama, I wouldn't die

this time. But, that didn't equal a good ending for me.

「If you said so, let's just say that I'm in a really good mood right now, so it won't be related to games. That's why I'll make an

exception and answering your question.」

Kai-sama looking amusingly at Tetle and Somni and,

「We will protect all the monsters in this city, but we will erase all their memories about this trial and let them live like before

in North Grand. That's why no need to worry about them since we will take care of those idiots who forgot their place, a

painful lesson, and make sure that they won't disturb North Grand again. I won't say there's no risk. You will suffer from a

penalty.」

He gave a detailed answer. And the penalty was just as I had expected.

「So that's mean restoring everything back to before I come here, is it?」

「Yes. Everything will be back to the point before Gil's arrival in this land.」

Since that's the case, I――

「What will become of me then?」

「You will die. Not literally die for real of course. Alas, it's the same, or worse than dying for the current you.」

Some of Kai-sama's subordinates had the power to manipulate memories. So he might order her to manipulate my

memories, or――

「Am I going to lost my memories again?」

「Nope, that kind of penalty is too boring. I'll just make sure that you, Gil, will never be able to enter North Grand again. That

will be your penalty. Somni, that should be enough for his penalty, isn't it?」

Somni heaved a sigh,

「Yeah, from the very beginning, Shifu can literally kill this guy with a flick of your hand. But the Shifu I know won't chose that

kind of penalty for sure, so I'm pretty much convinced that you're going to use this kind of penalty.」

And nodded.

I wouldn't be allowed to have contact with North Grand again. Meaning that I wouldn't be able to meet Shar despite retaining

all my memories about her. And not just Shar, there're Chigi, Chato, Tama, Bhu, Cyclon, Org, basically everyone in this city.

That would be the penalty imposed to me had I failed this trial. Indeed, that penalty was equal to death, maybe even worse

than death for the current me.

And yet, looking at Kai-sama's amused expression, This Personage seems to have no doubt of my victory. Otherwise, he

wouldn't see this situation with that gleeful smile on his face.Though I've only met him for a short time, I realized that This

Personage was even more kind hearted than what I expected. Otherwise, he would straight up kill me when I tried to

assassinate him.

Seeing that such Personage had a high expectation of me, I had no choice but to fulfill his expectation. To protect this

monster city, Ket Nya. And most of all, for myself!

「No, I don't want to be separated from Gil!」

When Shar hugged me as she cried, I patted her head like usual.

「Worry not. I won't allow that to happen.」

I declared so with the brightest smile on my face
