A postponement of one month was granted.
During this time I had things that had to be done.
Even so, the time of one month was short, there were few things that could be done.
I could not get carried away just because I had Orsted's backing.
Though it may have been said in the heat of the moment, he seemed to think that even if we failed this time, there will be a next time.
Maybe he was even thinking of developing a magic to return to the past after reading my diary.
...Alternatively he may have already experienced a time slip himself.
In hindsight, when Orsted used the word [next time], he made a face as if saying [damn it].
Not just once or twice, the possibility existed that he repeatedly time slip'd.
If that was true, why didn't he reveal it to me.
Even so, the me, who has kept various things hidden from my family, could somehow understand.
Things that were hard to explain would be hidden underneath lies and deception.
...In fact, he may be hiding unfavorable things from me because he still doubted me, so even if he was betrayed, I could not do anything about it in the current situation.
For now I wished to conduct myself in a way to not be hated by him.
Thus let's first forget his secrets.
Even if Orsted had a next time, I did not have that.
You only get one life.
Though I said that, it wasn't very convincing.
I have listened to the story of the me who came from the future and in the end read the diary.
I could feel with my skin that it was a life filled with regret.
I did not have the feeling that as long as I could redo, it was fine.
...Or rather.
If I thought that way, I felt like I would betray everything I have done so far.
So let's put forth as much effort as possible.
Exactly what to do in specific terms.
Strengthening the body.
Training your magic.
After that, continuing with what I have always done.
It was not as if by increasing the amount of training, I would suddenly get stronger.
Continuing would become strength.
Let's do what I have always done.
Apart from that, it was agreed to have mock battles.
Until now I have thought that something was missing.
Although practice and training were important, to learn how to effectively use the trained techniques, mock battles were necessary after all.
In sports it would be called sparring.
An outdoor match called a fighting game.
Although it was only a simulation, such a thing will become combat experience.
The opponent was Eris.
