Synopsis

The chapter reveals that Lucy's transformation into an enemy was caused by aspectual magic and she was never meant to be defeated in the original game scenario. The protagonist, aware of this, intervenes by using a powerful item to suppress mana, altering the game's predetermined path. He seems determined to prevent deaths, particularly Lucy's, and uses his knowledge to guide events, all while acknowledging his limitations. The chapter ends with the protagonist arriving back at the Trixx Hall, the starting point of the episode, and reflects on his journey, hinting at the importance of learning, humility, and avoiding loneliness.
