Chapter 152: Life is ABC... and So On (3)
To 「 」, this world was nothing more than a tiny model—a world as insignificant as an anthill, where no one could perceive its existence.
It always enjoyed watching the world from above. For an unfathomably long time, it observed, replaying the most amusing scenes over and over again.
Then one day, a being appeared who could perceive 「 」. This creature was female. It did not understand the concept of male and female—such notions didn’t exist for it—but regardless.
For the first time in its existence, someone had recognized, touched, and interfered with it. It was like a child receiving their first Christmas gift. In other words, the Saint was its most cherished possession.
So cherished that it had even made plans to escape far away, taking only the Saint with it, if the need ever arose.
─......!!
The moment it made eye contact with Eight, 「 」 flinched in shock at the sight of yet another being who could see it. What is that? How can something like that exist? Countless thoughts flashed through its mind, throwing it into chaos.
Amidst the confusion, it did what it always did: escape far away. But even as it tried to flee, the Saint felt like a thorn in its side.
If it left the Saint behind and escaped in front of that, what then? It might never see the Saint again. Even though it could clearly see the distant future, where the Saint was alive and well, that thought still unsettled it.
What did it matter what was visible or not in this insignificant three-dimensional world? The thing standing in front of it now had never been visible on any timeline, and yet, here it was, standing before it as if nothing were out of place.
─!@$@#%#@^
In the end, 「 」 decided to take the Saint and escape this world. Suuuuk—its hand reached into the three-dimensional plane where the Saint resided and pulled her into the fourth-dimensional space.
