――After that, to send out Seika, I left the living room.

It was raining outside so after I put my foot in the kotatsu after wiping my body with a towel. [1]

“Well, reality is really different..”

I mutter all alone while falling down on the kotatsu top plate.

Right now, I am so full of worries for the villagers and Carol that I cant help it. Who I am making excuses to?

After this is the promise to go out tomorrow for the New Year. We made a little progress. I have no choice but to comfort myself.

However, it maybe impossible if it rains tomorrow as well.

“Let’s think about it when we get to that point. The problems have piled up.”

What happened to the Village of Fate?

From the last video which I saw, I think Carol was given as a tribute to me and they were going to use the bombs left by the dwarves to bomb the enemies.

It would make sense this way.

If that was true then maybe Carol is now all alone.

But I haven’t given up yet. I could not abandon the little hope that they are still alive.

I did not see the moment when the villagers died. The possibility of the bomb being thrown out of the door gap and killing all the enemies still remain.

“I didn’t see the moment when the villagers died.”

I will believe that the villagers are still alive until I see what happened to the village.

“That’s why I have to change my thinking. I cannot see anything on the smartphone, same with the pc.”

I take out the smartphone and check again.

Its not out of order as its works normally, except for the game app.

The screen remain black even when you statr the app.

When I touch the screen, it displays [No Bible currently on the map] as before.

“eh?”

Miracles are lined up in white letters with black background.

What does this mean?

I immediately confirm if it disappeared, the letters were there, unchanged. Nothing is wrong at all.

It’s still in a state where you can select the miracle. But now you can only see the miracle item but not activate it.

“But is it not almost unusable?”

Most of the items that can be activated when touched on display shows [Not Available Now].

For Example, the miracles such as “A Visitors Arrives”, “Pharmacists arrive on a trip”, “Hunters Come”, and “Escaped Villagers Join cannot be activated.

But weather control seems possible.

“The miracles that affect the village are impossible but the weather is fine.”

I don’t know the difference but even I don’t know, I still cannot run away.

Even If I cannot see the change of weather in the game but when I activate Fine Weather and the fate points are reduced, then there are high changes that the villagers are still alive and the game is not over.

Touch 《Sunny》 while praying.

Fate points decreased but there was no change on the black screen.

The ability to use miracles is still there, so the game must not be over.

The villagers may have survived. Yes it is too early to abandon hope.

“Should I give rest to my brain? Take a bath and sleep … Oh, I should have had Carol take a bath.”

I forgot about it while thinking this much.

I can’t wake up the sleeping child so I should just take a bath and sleep on the sofa in the living room.

If she wakes up and nobody is around her, you don’t know how will she feel.

“I used my head a little too much today. I don’t use it on a daily basis so I’m terribly worn out. Its different from the physical labor.”

I go upstairs and carry down the blanket from my room.

At that time, I confirmed that Destiny was calmly curled up in the glass case. I turned off the lights.

When I lie down on the soft and close my eyes, I instantly start feeling dizzy.

“If everything today was a dream then … good, but …”

I hope to find it to be a bad dream after I woke up. I went to sleep hoping that the usual sight is there on the screen.

Translator and Editor Notes:

[1] A kotatsu (Japanese: 炬燵) is a low, wooden table frame covered by a futon, or heavy blanket, upon which a table top sits. Underneath is a heat source, formerly a charcoal brazier but now electric, often built into the table itself.
