From her silent nose, a dark, dead trickle of blood flowed out.

It was a kind of overload symptom that came when she used her precognitive ability in a group.

“Arietta.”

“. . .Yes. Grandma.”

“Go out for a while. The two of us have something to talk about.”

After sending Arietta out, Unyeon wiped the blood off her face and spoke to me in a tone of disbelief.

“It was truly an incredible wave of destiny. I’ve only felt something like this from one other man before. No, perhaps I should say that it might be even more intense than that.”

“. . . . . . “

“Exactly what kind of things do you intend to do in the future?”

It wasn’t a completely unexpected situation, but the reaction was more intense than I had thought.

It meant that there were countless hardships left for me to endure.

“What did you see in my future?”

“You’re just as impatient as that old man. I haven’t been able to observe the details properly yet.”

However.

“Before that, I should set a condition of my own. With the kind of destiny you have, it’s personally draining, you see. Even if it’s Myung-yul’s favor, it doesn’t balance out.”

“. . . . . .What do you want?”

“If you accept my condition, I’ll tell you then.”

An action that clearly knew that I wouldn’t be able to refuse, as expected, this was an impressive author in more ways than one.

“If it’s something within my capabilities to help with, I’ll gladly lend my strength.”

“Good. Then, I should talk about this side first.”

The words Unyeon uttered were none other than about Myung-yul and Arietta.

“. . . . . .That old man is going to die soon. This is a future that I foresaw a long time ago. And it is an inviolable prophecy that cannot be changed.”

Inviolable prophecy.

A word that refers to an almost definite future that doesn’t change no matter what is done.

Of course, according to the settings revealed in the sequel, even that wasn’t absolute, but at least it was clear that it was much more difficult to interfere with than other prophecies.

“The content itself kept changing, but the result was always the same. It means that the old man can’t avoid death in any form.”

“. . . . . Is that so?”

“At the same time, that child that the old man cares for will also fall into a path of misfortune.”

It was a story about Arietta.

Unyeon took a deep breath for a moment, and then finally spoke the words that she had kept buried inside for so long.

“I clearly told Myung-yul countless times. If he takes that child in, there will surely be nothing but ruin in the end. But he didn’t listen.”

“. . . . . . “

“And as I spent time with her, I also came to care for that child.”

I don’t know the details, but Unyeon clearly cares for the two of them. That’s why it must have been even more complicated.

“But when I saw Myung-yul recently, there was a slight change in that future. It was definitely a different form than before.”

“Are you saying that the future of the inviolable prophecy has changed?”

“To be precise, it’s probably still changing now. Even I can’t know the outcome anymore.”

And Unyeon continued, glancing at me.

“I think I know the reason now. It’s definitely because you met the two of them.”

“. . . . . . “

“Those with a strong destiny tend to change the destinies of those around them. Even if it’s an inviolable prophecy.”

I was shocked to hear those words.

This is a line that the protagonist of the 4th series once heard from the observer Tyr, and now Unyeon was saying it to me.

“Honestly, an ordinary human being wouldn’t be able to carry such a huge destiny. It must be some kind of cause and effect.”

There were several places I could guess, but I thought it was probably because I was an outsider in this world and I knew all of its long future.

「𝙒𝙚𝙡𝙡, 𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙞𝙘𝙩𝙡𝙮 𝙨𝙥𝙚𝙖𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜, 𝙄’𝙢 𝙖𝙡𝙨𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙙𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙡𝙤𝙥𝙚𝙧 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙚𝙦𝙪𝙚𝙡, 𝙨𝙤 𝙞𝙩 𝙬𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙗𝙚 𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚 𝙞𝙛 𝙄 𝙝𝙖𝙙 𝙡𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙞𝙣𝙛𝙡𝙪𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚.」

After explaining everything, Unyeon finally told me the condition of the prophecy.

“At the moment when the destinies of the old man and that child reach a turning point, promise me that you will do everything you can to help them.”

“What if I’m not there at that moment?”

“No, you’ll definitely be there. I have a feeling that it will be like that.”

At Unyeon’s heartfelt request, I eventually nodded my head.

“I’ll do as much as I can.”

“. . .Good. That’s enough.”

Now that the promise had been made, it was my turn to receive the price.

Unyeon put her hand on my head again, and this time she began to exert her strength more seriously.

“I probably won’t be able to see much. Don’t expect too much.”

“Yes. Even that much is fine with me.”

Whooosh.

After a while, Unyeon stopped talking, and a dark, dead trickle of blood began to flow from her mouth and ears.

A few minutes passed like that, and finally Unyeon took her hand away and exhaled, looking exhausted, and opened her mouth.

“. . . . . .Now I’m sure. You have a greater destiny than anyone I’ve ever met.”

“Did you see something?”

“Unfortunately, it was too much for my abilities. The images were too shaky. However, I saw one thing for sure. And that too. . . . . . “

“An inviolable prophecy, is it?”

“For now, yes.”

Unyeon paused for a moment, and then spoke with difficulty, as if she was really troubled.

“. . .However, I’m not sure if I should tell you this.”

“It’s okay. Whatever it is, if it’s a result that I don’t like, I’ll change it.”

“Then I’ll tell you.”

The prophecy that Unyeon told me was this:

“You will meet your true death at the hands of the one you love in the future.”
