Along with the departure of the Apostle of "Memory", Miss Muninn... or rather, going to find a parent to complain, this World Bubble that carried the memories of the distant past, which was composed and maintained by her power, also gradually began to break.
The buildings in the city, the pedestrians, and everything else around them began to crumble and vanish... including the Heroes that Kyuusyou had knocked out on the ground earlier...
"Old friend..."
Kevin watched his former comrade gradually dissolve into points of light and subconsciously reached out his hand, wanting to hold onto something...
"...You?"
When the World Bubble collapsed and threw everyone back onto a geometric shape somewhere in the Sea of Quanta, the party of six, which already included Kevin and Kyuusyou who had joined halfway, now had another uninvited guest...
"Wow, it's really Boss Kevin! I missed you so much!!!"
Pardofelis, who was also a bit confused, seemed to have finally confirmed something. She threw herself directly onto Kevin's body and rubbed against him vigorously. The cat she raised, named Can, also climbed up the man's pant leg and rubbed against him vigorously, as if it had found a free air conditioner, letting out happy meows.
"Felis???! Weren't you already..."
Kevin looked at the bouncing Pardofelis in front of him with an expression of disbelief...
"I remember we started with two people falling into the Sea of Quanta for a magical adventure, right, Bronya?"
Bronya nudged her companion with her elbow. Looking at the person who had appeared again, Miss Haxxor's lips couldn't help but twitch.
"Our numbers are constantly increasing."
Bronya also nodded.
-
"So, does this mean Miss Felis has been brought back to life?"
The group stared curiously at Pardofelis and Can, who sat obediently in their midst after the long-awaited reunion hug with their very own Boss Kevin. The two "cats" kept wagging their tails, announcing their current excitement.
As witnesses to this grand "resurrection magic," the group's eyes were filled with an equally curious thirst for knowledge. The Last Hero, whom they had originally thought was just an old reflection in the Sea of Quanta and had vanished along with the World Bubble, the "Reverist Calico," now stood before them, no longer just a passing dream.
"Well... Actually, Pardo herself isn't entirely sure either—"
The cat shook her head, indicating what are you talking about? I'm just a catty.
"Pardo, I remember you all should have been on the Moon..."
Kevin composed himself again and re-raised his question.
"Uh-huh... Boss Kevin is talking about the Moon, right? Pardo's memory did indeed end there... Boss Kevin, that sword strike of yours back then was really cool—"
Recalling the past, Felis gave Kevin a big thumbs-up.
"Ahem... But everyone..."
"Oh, Boss Kevin, let's not bring up such a sad topic. After all, aren't we still alive? Um, back to the main point. Pardo, actually, when she was on the Moon, she was stabbed right through by the Herrscher of Finality. Her vision went dark and her consciousness blurred..."
"And then the most miraculous thing happened... Time seemed to flow backward briefly, and the golden spear that had pierced right through me was drawn out. The hole left behind also returned to normal..."
"Right after that, just as time resumed its normal flow, that golden spear was deflected by a blazing, golden-orange great sword. Then, a beautiful blonde girl I've never seen in my life popped up in front of me..."
"That blonde girl seemed really powerful... When the Herrscher of Finality saw her, she put her spear away immediately, keeping her distance... And then Pardo just survived like that—"
"Starting from the last stop fifty thousand years ago... Huh, thinking about it now, if the ending is like what Boss Kevin said... Does that mean—that blonde girl changed history???"
"Could I have run into one of those strange beings like the gods Doctor Mei mentioned... Someone who was saved by a god crossing established history—"
"That sounds super cool."
Pardo seemed to have discovered a whole new world of gods, picking up Can and ignoring its protests.
"Can, Can, we were saved by a god, a god!"
"Meow—!!!"
-
Beside them, Kevin and Kyuusyou glanced at each other after hearing Felis speak, seemingly confirming something.
"Snow?"
"Snow," the latter nodded affirmatively.
"But why Felis?" Kevin asked, still a bit puzzled.
"Maybe this Pardo-cat is the only one who has actually wanted to survive the whole time?" Kyuusyou replied uncertainly...
"But why can that cat named Can also resurrect??? Did you bring this cat along when you guys went to the Moon to fight????" Kyuusyou glanced at Kevin with a strange expression.
"Don't look at me... There was no cat beside Pardo from the Previous Era. This is probably one she picked up from the World Bubble, or maybe Snow gave it to her?" Kevin shrugged, indicating it was none of their business in Fire Moth.
"Well, I think this cat named Can could go and square off against Durandal's Siamese cat, Stan..."
"Then I think Can would still win... As a newcomer to the cat world, Stan probably can't defeat this cat-world Fat Tiger, Can."
Thinking about how big that Can in the Paradise could actually grow, Kevin immediately cast his vote for Can. If you based it on taking that Can as the prototype, its combat power shouldn't be any worse...
While the two were having a completely off-topic discussion about which cat was stronger, another member took over their questions.
"A golden-haired god??? Did she also have blue eyes?"
Veliona caught onto something in Pardo's words, her guard on high.
"Eh?... No, her hair was golden, um... to be more precise, it should be a dark gold?"
Recalling the god's appearance for a moment, Pardo gave her answer.
"Golden? Then never mind."
Veliona waved her hand, indicating she had no more questions.
"Bronya would like to know, did that god simply save Miss Pardo and then leave? Then why would Miss Pardo appear in this World Bubble?"
"No, that beautiful golden god told me that someone would come to find me after a long time, and then she threw me into this World Bubble. The original state of this World Bubble a long time ago was different from what you see now..."
"So when the scenery that had remained unchanged for fifty thousand years suddenly changed, I felt that someone was coming to pick me up. But I never expected to actually see Boss Kevin..."
"So... did that God say anything else?"
"What do you mean, 'what else'?"
"Um... she told me to go accompany you guys, the evil ones who stayed single for fifty thousand years, skipped work to eat noodles every day, and exploited the labor of your descendants?"
"Do you guys know who this is???"
"Ahem ahem ahem!"
Hearing this, Kevin, who was standing to the side, immediately broke into a violent fit of coughing.
