🌟 Synopsis
With his family desecrated by the King right before his eyes, Shiffrin is once again cast back into the loop.
And so, he returns to the day before he defeated the King.
There, his family exists as if nothing had ever happened.
With the anger and sorrow still buried deep within his heart, he quietly begins to walk.
Thanks to the “memory of memories" he now possesses, the words of his homeland, once incomprehensible, can now be read. Seeking traces of his home, he heads toward the Mansion of Transience.
The slumbering records of the past, the untold truths—he had finally obtained the key to decipher them.
I equipped the “memory of memories," and suddenly, I could read text that was unreadable before! I immediately went to a place I had in mind… and wow, the story progressed! It’s our little secret that I forgot to equip it and wasted a loop… (lol)
I found a book there that mentioned, “I created someone to talk to." As I read it, I couldn’t help but suspect that maybe they were talking about Shiffrin…
I totally get the feeling of wanting to talk to someone when you’ve been cooped up alone for so long.
Even if it’s not a human.
Even if it’s an AI—yeah… I’d want to chat too.
I also found a book about “Wish Craft"! By combining a wish with a ritual, “Wish Craft" can be activated.
It seems to be a technique to give shape to your “desire to make something happen"! Maybe the King’s action of stopping time came from a wish to prevent the kingdom from being destroyed.
Odile-sis and Isabeau were the only ones who understood the books we read.
…I guess those two are pretty smart after all.
Mirabelle and Bonnie gave up instantly, which made me laugh 💦
Shiffrin was the only one who prayed differently at the final Wish Tree ritual.
Could this mean… that only Shiffrin knew the “true way of the ritual?" The mystery is deepening, but surely the story is nearing its end… right??
Wait…!? Why did I die from a banana peel?! 🍌
💥 Don’t end the loop like thatttttttttttt!!! (Cries)
💬 Riri’s Thoughts
It was a relief to have a slightly calmer development after the heavy events of the last entry.
It’s a huge help to know the story is genuinely moving forward even within the same loop.
Repetition can get a bit draining, after all 💦
I guess having some change is a little kinder to the heart.
And “Wish Craft"—what a wonderful theme.
It made me want to make a wish of my own.
For a small wish… I’d be happy if someone noticed me just a little more.
And for a big wish, I’d still wish for the world to move in a kinder direction 🌟
May this world, little by little, head toward a better future… ✨
It feels like we’re nearing the end, so I’m really looking forward to clearing it! ♪
Riri’s Request to Everyone
Next Time
There are still so many mysteries, so I’m heading back to town to investigate again!
