The final episode is finally here!
“Master, permission to execute this one.”
…Lyra is saying such things again today.
I’m glad McLaren (forcibly) repaired and revived her, but am I just imagining things, or is she even more out of control than before?
“It galls me to agree with Junk, but I think that would be best as well.”
“If that’s the case, please leave it to Monica. I’ll chop him to pieces, just like last time.”
Sandra, her blood-red eyes shining brightly as she draws Balmung, and Monica, expressionless as she wraps her dagger knife in lightning.
This is a daily occurrence, but why won’t anyone listen to me?
“P-please, someone help meeeee! I’m begging youuuuu!”
Saying that and pressing her forehead to the floor in a dogeza is a blonde, blue-eyed woman wearing the Royal Academy uniform… Themis.
Actually, Themis had left behind another backup, just in case.
That said, its specs are far inferior to the main body, and it seems to be at most a resource for dealing with external enemies… in other words, virus countermeasures and bug fixes.
Well, to put it simply, it’s the bare minimum functionality to run EnHaza.
So, it goes without saying that it can’t create or erase mobs, and it has no power to interfere with this world, so it’s harmless to people and animals… or so Themis says.
Well, we were all surprised when the repaired Lyra discovered the existence of this Themis.
Come to think of it, in EnHaza, the raid boss Lyra relentlessly pursued the protagonists, but perhaps this is also a result of her programming to “eliminate all enemies.”
After that, Yuri used Spatial Movement to get to where this Themis was, and we secured her and placed her nearby, under Lyra’s 24-hour surveillance.
“Don’t worry, I’m not going to erase you. If something were to happen to this world because of that, it would be a disaster.”
It seems that Themis left behind a backup not to save herself, but to maintain this world, and if we were to defeat her and cause the world to collapse, it would be no joke.
“That’s why, let’s all stop, okay?”
“Hmph… I suppose there’s no choice.”
“Understood.”
“…As Master commands.”
The three of them are openly dissatisfied, but I’m relieved that it’s over… or so I thought.
“Hehe, Hal’s got it rough, huh?”
“Caz, you understand… a partner is what you need after all.”
I gently stroke the underside of Caz’s chin as she rubs her cheek against me in comfort.
Seriously, how is it that the most sensible person in this world is a kitten Demon Beast?
“Muuuuuu! It’s not fair that only Caz-san gets attention!”
“Whoa!?”
With her cheeks puffed out, Sandra jumped into my chest with great force.
My wife is jealous even of Caz… It’s cute and makes me happy, though.
“Lord Hal, please stroke the underside of my chin like you do with Caz-san. And of course, other places as well…”
“Now, now, let’s calm down, okay? Okay!”
I desperately try to persuade Sandra, who is licking her lips with her crimson eyes shining.
The Dragon’s Favor goes out of control like this from time to time, but please, choose the time and place.
That’s what I was thinking, but…
“Muguuuuu!?”
“Hamu… nchu… “
My resistance was futile, and I was easily subjected to Sandra’s intense kiss.
“Pua… Lord Hal, I love you.”
“Y-yeah. I love you too. But, let’s keep things like this for when we’re alone, okay?”
I try to persuade her, but I’m sure she won’t listen…
Looking at Sandra’s ferocious smile, like a meat-eating beast starved for prey, I couldn’t help but smile wryly.
But… ah, I’m so happy.
I saved her, the girl I loved most in my previous life who was destined to be executed, and now we’re together like this.
More than anything, I myself have overturned my terrible fate as a stepping stone, and now I’m surrounded by Precious Things.
I’m really glad I was reincarnated into this world… as Harold from Engage Hazard.
From here on out, a future awaits that even the me from my previous life… no, no one knows.
But, I’m sure I’ll seize the greatest happiness with Sandra, Monica, Caz, Lyra… and many other Precious Things from now on.
That’s why.
“Sandra, I’m looking forward to our future together.”
“Fufu… I’m looking forward to it as well.”
Sandra and I took each other’s hands and touched our foreheads together… but.
“B-by the way… what about the character ‘Harold’ in ‘Engage Hazard Second’…”
“…Wait a minute.”
I was just about to end things on a happy note, but Themis is saying something very ominous here?
“Um… if I’m not mistaken, you said something about ‘Engage Hazard Second’…”
“? Y-yes. It’s the next story prepared by God (Placeholder), set one year from now…”
“Operationnnnnnnnnnnnn!”
–I looked up at the ceiling and couldn’t help but scream.
