ERE I AM JH

David: Do you really have no memories of being Solomon?

Romani: Absolutely none. Ah right, Solomon's father is King David. In other words, it's you. Don't worry, I don't have any memories of my father too. Oh wait, saying that sounds seriously sad though. But I don't know how to answer correctly though.

David: So you have no memories, huh. I see. That's sad indeed. We used to be so close as father and childー…

Romani: No, that has to be a lie. Surely, neither of us have that kind of personality.

David: Aw, you found out huh. That's true though.

David: Just as you were a king since birth, I was not fit to be a father since the beginning.

You were, quite literally, a gift from God. That is why I have never thought of you as a child.

Also well, as you know, I have so many children, that honestly, I don't think I can remember them all!

Romani: Uwah, you're the worst.

David: Solomon has done all that he needed to do.

There is no need for you to take responsibility anymore. You're now free to do whatever it is that you want.

I can even accompany you, whatever it is. Oh, but I'll pass on picking up girls, alright?

Even I, David, would refrain from disrupting relationships in this confined space.

Romani: Seriously, refrain from doing that. But, anything I wanted, huh… Then, King David. There's is one thing that I wish for right now.

David: Yes, what is it?

Romani: I want you to go the meeting already and resolve this Singularity as soon as possible.

David: Are you sure that's the only thing you wanted?

Because Urd might come back and reset the loop again, and if that happens…

Romani: My dream won't come true again, right?

Of course, I've been thinking about it. This Chaldea right now is very interesting.

Director Olga Marie seemed to have grown horns, but now, those horns have fallen off.

Mashu has become 10 times more powerful than I expected.

Guda has grown a hundred times more wonderfully than I could have imagined.

And that Da Vinci-chan is no longer around… …No, knowing her, she would just say that it was a perfectly satisfying story for her.

And her Gran Cavallo has also been successfully activated. She will perform her role admirably.

In other words, my workload has decreased, and I can now take it easy compared to before.

Romani: It would be a lie to say that I have no regrets. Of course, it's only natural that I want to stay here forever.

But.

The same was true for "the one who once was here"'. And yet, he still made that choice.

He was terrified of losing his life, and he agonized over it, and yet, he still prioritized a greater destiny over his own.

I am a "record" of such a person. So, there is only one thing I must do.

“Prioritize the romance of the future over one's own interests.” Isn’t that what it means to live like a human being?

David: You're right…

God truly is great, and cruel.

He gave my son who could live most like a human being, the duty that no human could bear.

David: That's a way of being I couldn't reach, or rather, a way of being I could have never reached.

Romani: That's right. You seemed rather carefree, but above all, you were a person who prioritized profit.

Anyway, that being the case…

Instead of slacking off here, why don’t you hurry up and go to the meeting already, Dad?

David: I guess I have no choice.

There's nothing I can do about it if you say it like that.

Fine then. I'll show you my cool side!

Romani: That's fine and all…

As long as you make sure that you'll properly protect Guda.

David: Yeah, yeah, I will.

Now then, I'll get going. But don't expect any souvenirs when I get back!
