Chapter 1019 – [Winter of Growth]
As we talked about this and that, the meal with the absolute of time had turned into a drinking party.
Eden seems to have finished eating and goes there to play with the kids, and me and the Absolute of Time leisurely watch the kids play and have a good snack and a drink.
“Ah, fairy tears. It’s a good drink. But the taste of what’s coming out these days has changed. To be honest, I liked drinking it a long time ago.”
“……You’d better not know what went into the old fairy tears.”
“Yes?”
No matter how much he didn’t know what he didn’t know, even if he didn’t know, there were good things. It was a story that I wished I hadn’t known that Lu-Beana’s urine was in the early fairy tears.
No, even if it tastes like lemon juice, I don’t think it’s okay to eat it. I’m not going to shion or drink a little so.
It might be a reward for someone, but it’s better not to eat it anyway. There are also mood problems and hygiene problems.
“But since you can visit at any time, can’t you go and taste it at that time if necessary?”
“There is a limit to the time I can visit. The power to enter too much in the past time zone is too big.”
“There are times when you can’t go either.”
“Of course there is. It’s either a situation with a huge causality, or it’s before the creation of the world. Ah. In the case of the latter, you can go, but you can’t go, and you can’t go.”
“If you look for it, there are a lot of restrictions.”
“Still, there are things that can’t be helped. If that was possible, I’d be able to go back to the time when the lover of Chaos died and stop it, and the 1st dimension war would be over.”
“………Wow”
The Absolute of Chaos lost his lover to humans and went on a rampage, trying to resolve his anger by annihilating mankind. That’s when the First Dimensional War broke out.
If we can get rid of that opportunity, we can undo the countless tragedies and deaths that resulted from that war. Not only the technology of the time that had developed tremendously, but also many dead transcendentalists will return.
But it doesn’t, no it doesn’t. Because the Absolute of Destiny decided that cause and effect.
If you change that now, the causality that will be disrupted is no joke. Maybe the entire dimension would be fucked up.
“But why before the beginning? What do you mean you can go but you can’t go?”
“In those days, there really was nothing. It’s a place filled with emptiness, not nothing, so there’s no concept of time, and I won’t be able to maintain my existence. Even if I could go there, I’d die the moment I went there.”
“Ugh”
It’s some kind of cosmic horror that an absolute person dies just by arriving. The Absolute alone is enough horror, but what kind of Outer God is this? No, Azathoth?
It’s because the absolutes at that time were omnipotent…….. It’s a place where such beings live, but it can’t be ordinary.
Anyway it’s bullshit It’s a word I’ve heard from the absolute of nature before.
If this world is a picture drawn on paper, it is said that nothing is painted over with white, and nothing is the white side of the paper itself. It is said that even the concept of nothingness was created for convenience after the creation of the world.
It’s not like a superordinate concept of nothingness, it’s just that the chest itself is different. It’s quite creepy to see that even the absolutes think that way.
“Don’t worry, there’s no way the piece of nothingness will show up in this time zone anyway.”
“That’s fortunate”
As we talked, the subject of the story continued to the disciple of the absolute ruler of time, the Time Lord.
Since all absolutes want to retire, absolutes who want to retire earlier raise disciples that way. He has a disciple on the verge of an absolute being called the Time Lord, so he is one of the absolute closest to retirement.
“Would you like it because retirement is just around the corner? What will you do when you retire?”
“Well, wouldn’t it be like walking around as usual? Then, if you get tired of it, you’ll go to reincarnation.”
“It’s normal”
“If you live a long time and do everything you have to do, it will happen. Absolutes have lived since before the beginning of time, and the time between dimensions is different, so in reality I have lived longer than that, but I have lived longer than that.”
How long has he really lived?
There is no being in this world who has lived longer than the Absolute. However, he who handles time and travels while being an absolute being must have lived a longer life among such absolute beings.
The time itself is the same, but the experience time is different. The difference may be hard to measure on a yearly basis.
“Are all absolutes like that?”
“Honestly, it’s all like that. Changing places doesn’t mean you’re going to die right away. What should I say…… Even if another Absolute is created and the location is changed, is it to the extent of changing the location of the Lord and the Absolute?”
“What is it, if the absolute pride and the Lord change places, the absolute becomes the Lord?”
“It’s roughly like that. It’s hard for a rod to die, but it’s not like you can’t help but die.”
Rod is hard to die. If he was pushed all the way to the end, he would have to commit to the next one and spread himself into pieces throughout the entire dimension.
But on the other hand, it doesn’t mean that you don’t die. Even though the concept of lifespan has disappeared, if you set your mind to it, you can go through reincarnation and die. After I was loaded, Eden reincarnated to raise me, but what?
Of course, it is initialized differently from reincarnating with memories, and even erases all memories before entering, but … Anyway, Lord can die. There is just no natural death.
“We have different sensibilities from you. But when the time comes, I might be able to understand you guys.”
“Will that day ever come?”
“It will come. Someday. The future is, on the one hand, a perfect law of causality, but on the other hand, it is also full of blessings of chaos. If you give a monkey infinite time and a typewriter, you might be able to write a masterpiece novel?”
“I wish that day would come”
If you think about it, I also whined that it was difficult after becoming the Great Demon King, but how difficult it is over there. If it had been like that since birth, it would definitely be more difficult.
There is no obligation or responsibility in the position of the absolute, but on the contrary, the position itself, the existence of which is responsible.
There is a big difference between having an absolute in a concept and not having one. What should I say, that a concept without an absolute is ambiguous? It feels like that.
Me and the Absolute of Time talked over drinks all night. Eden goes to sleep in the lodging he made because he is tired, and he and I continue talking while listening to the sound of insects chirping like a song.
Then, the day dawned. Seeing the sunrise of the rising sun in the distance, I can feel the time of how much I drank.
No, is it like this already? My time anyway, the absolute of time!!!!!
“It’s not my fault. I don’t know if the time itself increases, but the actual time itself is not under my jurisdiction.”
“What makes time go so damn slow in the military!!!!”
“I’m just going slow because it’s boring and difficult. Just think that this too will pass and hold on.”
“Even the absolute ruler of time can’t help that part. But can I skip military service?”
“I skipped it and now I realize I might be in an army prison, but if that’s okay”
“No, let’s just stop”
In any case, we had a pleasant conversation throughout the day. After talking, this person is also a good absolute person by human standards. Should I say something more dignified… Maybe it’s to the extent that he’s raising disciples like the Time Lords, so I wonder to what extent his ethics are tailored to human beings.
Next time I come, I plan to treat you to a meal. Well, I don’t know if Eden will treat it the next time I see it.
“It’s time to go soon. I have another appointment. It was a mistake to come here this time, so the next time I see you… Oh, spoiler.”
“You have to be careful with your mouth. There could be a case where you say something wrong and get fucked up by the butterfly effect.”
“How many times have you done that?”
“…….I wonder what would have happened, but I’m scared so I won’t ask.”
“Ah, that part is fine. I turned back time and made it not exist.”
“That’s good”
I was going to pack a few bottles of fairy tears for him who was about to leave. Keter and Eden made a lot of them, so it’s okay to bring a few bottles to your acquaintances.
He looks at his pocket watch and checks the time. I don’t want to see what time the absolute of time is simply because I’m curious, so I’ll look at something else.
“It’s about time for Miss Eden to wake up.”
“Are you going to say hello to Eden?”
“I have something like that and something to give.”
“Are you going to give it?”
At that time, Eden came out of the accommodation. The lodging was a log house made by cutting logs, and Keter even took care of it, so it was a pleasant and nice house.
Thanks to this, Eden wakes up from a good night’s sleep and comes out with his eyes wide open. Then he shouted in surprise when he saw us drinking all night.
“Dad!!!! Did you eat all night without me?!?!”
“Don’t worry, Eden will cook you a lot of breakfast. Oh, and the uncle is leaving.”
“Ah, hello mister!!!!”
Eden greets him politely and sees him off. Eden taught this part well so that he behaves politely in front of people.
No matter how pretty you are, if you’re rude, you’ll frown. People don’t live alone, so it’s good to be close to other people if possible. And courtesy is such a basic thing.
“I’ll come back the next time Miss Eden opens the store. This is a gift given in advance”
“Wow!!!! It’s pretty!!!!!”
What the Absolute of Time gave to Eden was a pocket watch similar to the one he had.
Whether it was a thing of human standards, there were definitely three hands, including the hour hand, minute hand, and second hand. And on the inside, the delicate and detailed cogwheels interlock and rotate, often shining light.
If you see that, you can understand why famous brand watches are so expensive. Because there was something mechanically beautiful about the movement that such a precise machine showed.
……… But isn’t that the same as the one the Time Lord carries? Besides, isn’t the power itself felt from the watch a joke?
“It’s my hobby to make things like this. I just make watches, but this is something that contains my strength. If it’s Miss Eden, it’ll come in handy.”
“Effect?”
“Uh… It depends on the use, but even if you don’t do anything, the owner will be immune to the time system. Of course, it won’t work if you’re at the level of our apprentice.”
“No, it’s no joke if it’s Lord or time system immunity”
Besides, that was the story of simply having it. I don’t know how I can use it once I start using it.
Even if you are an absolute person, seeing things like that, it seems that our Eden will have a lot of connections later. As a father, I am very happy that Eden has a bright future.
“Honestly, that’s about it. Sometimes when you travel, there are scumbags who abuse time stop or something.”
“No, something like AV material.”
Even in the industry that changes with the times, time stop works come out regularly. Is it because there is a demand for it?
However, since it is fiction, you can enjoy it. If the target becomes Eden, he gets even more angry.
“There are people who really use it like that…… I have to give permission for time travel, but anyone can use time stop if they can use it. Miss Eden is pretty, so there might be people who want to do that.”
“If I had a guy like that, I’d catch him and rip his brain out and make him explode.”
“Isn’t that too lenient?
“Ugh”
“Sometimes it’s better not to give any stimulation than to inflict pain. Even a decent guy’s ego will melt if left like that for 10,000 years or so.”
The absolute is the absolute. The level of punishment is different. The level is also different.
Anyway, the gift Eden received was too good. It’s because if you become immune to the time system with that one, Eden’s safety can be further secured.
I topped the time lord with fairy tears as well as a few more of my favorite booze. There are some things that are harder to find, so I would be lying if I said it wasn’t a waste, but what Eden received is something that money can’t buy, so I have to take care of things like this.
“Oh!!! There are several bottles of precious liquor. After all, the transcendent people’s collection is all good.”
“Come again next time. Let’s have a drink with delicious rice.”
“Okay, next time”
I don’t know when, but I promise the future. That’s not a spoiler, it’s just a promise, so that’s okay.
Before leaving, he offers his last advice as if he had remembered something.
“Oh, and you’d better make a little more for dinner tomorrow.”
“Yes?”
“Another guest will come, so bye then”
And he disappeared without a trace or trace, just as he had come. Maybe I left this time axis? He honestly has no idea where he might have gone.
Maybe only you know The next time you see them, you will be able to meet them at the same time and when the causal rate permits.
“By the way, guests are coming, who will come?”
“Guest~? Who else is coming?”
“You said the uncle was coming. So he’ll probably come.”
These are the words of the person who knows the future best, except for the absolutes of fate. If he is, so be it.
By the way, it’s a planet where the environment was a mess, but guests often visit. Is there something causal? No, it’s not the trick of the absolute fate again, is it?
On the other hand, with a little worry, I decided to trim the ingredients. Seeing that the absolute ruler of time told me to prepare a lot of rice, the other person would be a glutton, so even if it was tomorrow evening, I had to prepare and prepare the ingredients from the day before.
“I’ll do it too!!!!!”
“Do you want Eden to prepare too?”
“Ugh!!! That way we can open the store later!!!!”
“Is our Eden already preparing to open the store? It’s commendable.”
Keter, who woke up a little late, came out while we were preparing the ingredients for breakfast and tomorrow’s dinner.
She asked me if I had looked around and realized that time had no absolutes.
[Did he go?]
“I went. I just left after drinking and playing all night.”
[I should have served you delicious fruit, but it’s a pity]
“There will be a chance sometime next time. I don’t know when it will be. Anyway, another customer is coming tomorrow, so help me. I don’t have enough hands.”
[Guest? Who?]
“I don’t know, I’ll have to see”
By now, someone who will notice the death of their kind and deal with the space bugs that will fly from far away… Huh?
A person who handles things like that, and a glutton?
It looks like he’s someone I know but don’t want to deal with?!
And around lunchtime the next day. When a group of space worms arrived around the moon’s orbit and came close enough to be seen from this star, an uninvited guest came.
A familiar girl with blood-red hair emerges from a crack in a split dimension.
“Oh, Mister, are we meeting everyone here?”
“Aaaaa!!!!!”
“Luruda!!!! Lurulururururururu!!!!!”
“Eden has grown a lot!!! Hello?”
Ruru, whom Eden meets for the first time since the first birthday party, has come to do something to do as her dimension servant Bloodier.
