Why She Helps The Villains
“Why are you helping me?”
“Because you wanted me to die.”
Bellona, possessed as the friend of the original female protagonist, was currently in the midst of 21 regressions.
This endless cycle was exhausting.
So she decided to do something she had never attempted before:
to help Deminik, the original’s greatest villain who had already driven himself half-mad after killing himself countless times during these recurring regressions.
“I want you to survive sanely until the end.”
Perhaps a future where you triumphed completely would be my eternal peace.
But Bellona had no idea that her salvation would have such a profound impact.
“Don’t love me, Deminik. I can’t return your love.”
“Then I will always love you, in the next life, and in the life after that. I will never forget you.”
Deminik loses all his memories when he regresses. As he had done so many times before.
Bellona fell in love with him, only to return again, unable to face Deminik, who didn’t love her.
“I hope this life with you is the most splendid last, Bellona.”
“You fool, you don’t know the weight of your words.”
Nevertheless, his desperate confession that he would jump into this hellish swamp of regression with her made Bellona more attached to life than ever.
“I will make it happen.”
Looking at Deminik, who had eyes only for her, Bellona had to admit that she, too, had already fallen in love with him.
… Without even knowing what awaited her at the end of this path.
