Once I was finished here, I would collect Zanoba and take him back to Ginger. *** “Allow me to cut to the chase,” said Orsted as we settled in our seats. He took my diary from his pocket and slapped it down on the table between us. “Quite a fascinating read. I have some interest in this magic regarding time travel that your future self spoke of, but since we lack the information to duplicate it ourselves, we’ll leave that aside for now.” “All right.” “There were a number of things that caught my interest, but before we discuss the contents of this journal, I would like to know what you and the Man-God have spoken about in the past. Tell me everything. Spare no details.” “Yes, of course.” I recounted everything I could remember. Our first encounter happened immediately after the Displacement Incident. After that, I saw him again in Rikarisu City, then in Wind Port, East Port, and then right after Orsted nearly killed me. Following that, I saw him again when I enrolled in the Magic Academy, then right before I went to Begaritt, then immediately before my future self came to visit and again immediately after. We also met while I was preparing to face off with Orsted. Ten times in total. I gave Orsted as much detail as I could remember from each conversation, including what the Man-God commanded me to do and how his instructions played out.
