Chapter 124. [The Identity Of The God]
“I understand you’re happy that Iroha-chan has woken up, but remember that this is a hospital. There are other patients here, and we’re in the middle of an important discussion. Please try to keep quiet for a little longer, okay?”
“”””Y-Yes…””””
We were scolded with a scary smile, and we fell silent.
Then the doctor cleared her throat.
Now we’re getting to the main topic.
I straightened up reflexively as the doctor looked directly at me.
“So, regarding Iroha-san’s current condition, there is nothing wrong with her.”
“Eh!?… Wait, hey! Why are you all looking at my chest right now!?”
“Well, well, Iroha-chan~. The doctor is talking right now~.”
As I glared at them, Angu and Ah-nee averted their gazes.
Mai calmed me down, and I turned back to face the doctor.
“Um, What do you mean by ‘nothing wrong’?”
“Can you take a look at this? It’s a monochrome photo I took of her head earlier.”
After saying that, she showed me a monochrome photo taken with MRA.
It was taken at some point, but I still don’t understand how to interpret it.
“Um… And?”
“That’s right, I’m puzzled too.”
No, I’m puzzled for a different reason.
Just as I thought that. She placed another monochrome photo beside it.
“This is one I took before. It’s truly surprising. Because all the abnormalities in Iroha-chan’s brain are completely gone.”
“Eh, whaaat!?”
I compared the two images intently.
I can’t tell, but when he said that, it does seem so.
“At first, I heard that you collapsed and were brought here, and you weren’t even taking any medicine, so I naturally thought it had worsened. It’s truly strange.”
“Um, so, does that mean I’m cured!?”
“That’s highly likely.”
“So, I don’t need to take medicine anymore!?”
“For now…”
“So, you can prescribe the pills, and I can escape the monthly pain!?”
“Well, to alleviate the pain at least…”
“Yessss!”
“”””There!?””””
I received a collective reprimand from Mai, Angu, Ah-nee, and my mother.
I know, it was a joke.
But, yeah.
So, I don’t have to fear my powers going out of control again?
“Phew… That’s a relief.”
I felt a wave of relief wash over me.
However, soon a question arose in my mind.
“But why? How did this happen?”
“Perhaps it’s because Iroha-chan was still young. I can’t say for sure. It’s like her brain has always been healthy. Honestly, I feel like I’ve been fooled.”
Fooled, huh?
Surprisingly, that might be the case.
“Do you believe in God, sensei?”
“Quite sudden, huh? But… yeah, I believe in it. Working in this industry, sometimes things happen that make me think, ‘Could it be that God is watching?'”
The doctor said with a joking tone, “Just like now.”.
However, her expression quickly turned complicated.
“On the other hand, I also have moments when I think, ‘There’s no God in this world.’. But I believe that we doctors exist for those people.”
“I see.”
In that sense, I must have been “chosen.”.
As the savior of this world. As the key figure to change the future.
And now, that role has come to an end.
Hence, I’m liberated.
“Could it be that God helped me too?”
At that time, I was enveloped in a sense of omnipotence.
Perhaps I truly possessed omniscience and omnipotence.
After all, I could decipher every language.
I could hear the voices of all people, birds, fish, and insects.
I could understand the whispers of the wind, the pleas of sunlight, and the groans of the Earth.
I could read the past, the present, and even the future.
I think I could even discuss the truths of the world.
But now, that feeling is hazy.
My memories of hearing those voices have become dubious.
Were they truly the voice of God?
Or did I have a conversation with something like the collective unconscious?
Or perhaps the Earth or the universe itself spoke to me?
Did I inadvertently connect to the so-called Akashic Records?
Now, I can no longer hear the answers.
However, I didn’t feel regret at all.
No, it was rather lucky!
No, seriously, it was dangerous!
Because if I were still in that state. It would be a parade of spoilers!
I would know all the plans, events, and announcements!
I refuse it even if it means dying!
That leaking is a serious offense.
It would go against my principle that fans should be treated as equals.
And above all, it would ruin the “live experience”!
In other words, this situation is perfectly fine for me.
“But even so, why was I saved?”
“Huh?”
It was Mai who tilted her head.
Perhaps because she was the closest to me, she understood.
“Isn’t God the one who grants wishes? Then it’s obvious that Iroha-chan’s wish was granted, right?”
“My wish?”
Ah, I see.
What I wished for at that time was one thing–.
