August 12, 345 I realized I had been waiting for a savior. But I also knew that I would soon come to love this savior. “Please take care, Neid.” |

Neid’s Diary
|
July 29, 350 Marie said that if I want to write well, I should keep a diary every day. So, I’m starting now. But to be honest, I already write well. Anyway, since I’ve started, I’ll keep writing. First diary entry completed. |
|
July 30, 350 My name is Neid Axid. Mom and Dad call me Neid. Marie calls me Miss Neid. I am four years old. I have nothing more to write. |
|
August 1, 350 I asked Count Igorton (His full name is Taylor Igorton) how to write a diary. He said I should write honestly about what happened that day. Today I gave carrots to Torizabeth. I should give her some again tomorrow. |
|
August 2, 350 I gave carrots to Torizabeth. Torizabeth eats a lot of carrots. I don’t like carrots, but Torizabeth does. |
|
August 10, 350 I had a birthday party. I am five years old. |
|
August 29, 350 I went to the lake with Mom and Dad. I’m good at swimming. |
|
October 10, 350 I gave carrots to Torizabeth. Torizabeth eats too many carrots. |
|
October 25, 350 Torizabeth II was born. |
|
November 2, 350 Torizabeth II is really, really small. They say Torizabeth II can’t eat carrots yet. When will Torizabeth II be able to eat carrots? Will Torizabeth II like carrots like Torizabeth does? |
|
November 4, 350 I asked Mom if I was as small as Torizabeth II when I was born. Mom said yes. It’s amazing that I’ve grown this big. |
|
November 5, 350 I asked Dad if he was as small as Torizabeth II when he was born. Dad said he doesn’t remember. But Dad said he never forgets anything! That’s a lie! |
|
February 15, 351 I gave carrots to Torizabeth II! Torizabeth II likes carrots. |
|
April 1, 351 Torizabeth II looks like Torizabeth. I look like Mom. My eyes are green, and Mom’s eyes are also green. I like green. Green is really pretty. It’s a secret, but the first color I saw when I was born was green. |
|
August 10, 351 I had a birthday party. I turned six. Vilhel said time flies so fast. Marie told me that this means I’ve grown a lot. |
|
December 15, 351 I drew Torizabeth and Torizabeth II on paper. Mom showed it to Dad a while ago when she went to visit her sister (I wish I had a sister too!), and Dad said I drew it well. |
|
August 10, 352 I had a birthday party. I’m seven now. Writing in my diary is a bit bothersome but fun. |
|
November 2, 352 Dad drew a picture of me with Torizabeth. Dad draws very well, like a painter. I also draw well; is it because I take after Dad? Dad gave me the drawing as a gift. I’ll treasure it well. |
|
November 3, 352 I showed Mom the drawing gift Dad gave me. But when Mom saw the picture, she cried. In fact, this is the second time I’ve seen Mom cry. Mom cried when I was born too. |
|
December 1, 352 Mom seems happier than before. I like seeing Mom happy. |
|
August 10, 353 I turned eight. |
|
September 20, 353 A kid who came to my birthday party visited the castle. His name is Aiden Neton, and he’s nine years old. Aiden asked me what kind of man I like. I said I don’t like men who are not as good as Dad, and then Aiden cried. Count Igorton said I taught Aiden despair today. |
|
February 6, 354 I secretly gave the drawing gift from Dad to Mom. Mom sometimes takes it out to look at. |
|
April 9, 354 I learned horseback riding. I said I don’t want to learn how to hunt, so I won’t. |
|
August 10, 354 I am nine years old today. |
|
September 24, 354 During Mrs. Noah’s class, we talked about heaven and hell. They say that bad people go to Hell, but do only bad people go to Hell? What if a bad person brings a good person with them to Hell? Or pushes a good person into Hell? |
|
September 25, 354 I asked Dad if a good person who falls into Hell can ever come back out again. Dad said, “How can you know that person is not bad?” I thought about it and said, “If there is someone who desperately wants that person to come out of hell, that person is not bad enough to be in hell.” Dad didn’t say anything. |
|
September 27, 354 Dad came to visit just before I started writing this diary. Dad said that if a person who is not bad falls into hell, that person will eventually get out of hell, even if it takes time. I feel good for some reason. I think I’ll have a pleasant dream tonight. |
|
January 5, 362 I found the diary I thought I had lost. It was here all along! |
|
May 20, 362 Aiden visited and made his fifteenth confession. I told him I’m sorry, but I’m busy saving the world, so I can’t meet him, and he cried again. It’s true. |
|
July 30, 362 Dad is a descendant of the Celestial God. I am not a descendant of the Celestial God. I only have one life, and my wounds don’t heal as quickly as Dad’s. Of course, since I only have one life, I haven’t gone through the ‘Awakening’ of dying and coming back to life. But I see things others don’t, hear things others don’t, and feel things others can’t. Although Dad’s power is far greater than mine… It doesn’t matter. I don’t have to be equal to Dad. My job is to help him. Everyone expects that of me. |
|
September 5, 362 I received a message from the temple. As I was preparing to leave with Dad, Mom called for me. She held me and said this was not an obligation at all. She confessed that there was a time when she tried to impose obligations on me, but now she could never do that. I hugged her. “I’ll be back.” |

What she needs to do is help her dad. Everyone expects that from her.
And that “everyone” includes herself.
Neid stared at the girl with the multicolored eyes. She seemed extremely angry. The malice and killing intent emanating from her rushed in like a fierce wind.
“Don’t overdo it. Losing you is something I, and even Laila, would never wish for. In case something happens.”
“Dad.”
Neid cut off Sion’s words, who had a face strikingly similar to her. Drawing her sword, Neid spoke in a soft voice.
“Let’s finish this quickly. I have to go home and write in my diary.”

December 10, 362 I sealed the evil god. It wasn’t a big deal. |
|
December 11, 362 Since it’s a diary only for me to read, I’ll be honest. The evil god was nothing special. In the end, the Evil God won’t be able to reappear for a thousand years, and Dad and I are back home now. Haha. |
|
December 29, 362 Is it just my imagination? Dad seems to be getting weaker. |
|
January 30, 363 It wasn’t just my imagination. I sparred with Dad and won. It’s clear that it’s not because I’ve gotten stronger. Dad has definitely become weaker. |
|
March 15, 363 Today, Dad was flustered. He said it was because he accidentally ran into Mom in the garden. What’s the problem? Well. I’m not sure of the details, but it seems that until now, Dad had never “accidentally” run into Mom. At least, not since he awakened to the powers of the celestial god. |
|
March 27, 363 Mom seems to be pleased that Dad has become weaker. |
|
May 2, 364 Count Igorton and Dad had a sparring match. Although Dad has weakened, he easily defeated Count Igorton. One might question if Count Igorton is too weak, but I hear he’s quite a skilled knight. He was once even considered a genius. (Is that true?) Count Igorton, who didn’t manage to touch Dad’s clothes during the entire match, said he would be reborn as a celestial god’s descendant in his next life. Of course, I know it was a joke. He said it with a smile. As I write this diary, the evil god suddenly comes to mind. I wouldn’t recommend being reborn as a celestial god’s descendant to anyone. |
|
October 1, 364 I think Dad would probably say he would choose to be reborn as a Celestial God’s descendant if he could meet Mom again in the next life. |
|
December 2, 364 It can’t be helped. In the next life, I’ll have to be reborn as a celestial god’s descendant. May Mom and Dad be reborn as the parents of a celestial god’s descendant. |

“Goodnight, sweet dreams.”
While Sion watched, Laila hugged Neid.
Laila then let go of Neid and stood on her tiptoes to gently kiss Neid’s forehead, who was about half a head taller than her.
“Have sweet dreams too, Neid. Just like always.”
Epilogue 2
“Is it true that Princess Reina picked someone up?”
“Yes. You know Elden Kingdom, right? The place with the hero. She found him there.”
“Do you know what he looks like?”
“I haven’t seen him in person yet, but the person who saw him said he’s incredibly handsome. He has black hair and red eyes.”
“Really? Wow.”
“Well, there is a downside.”
“A downside?”
“He doesn’t remember who he is. He also can’t use one of his arms.”
“Oh dear… but maybe losing his memory is a blessing in disguise. Since he’s in Princess Reina’s hands, he’ll likely live as a slave for the rest of his life.”
“That’s true.”
“Hey, you two! Are you just chatting when there’s work to be done?”
“Yikes!”
“Let’s go quickly before we get caught.”
The maid, who had been chatting with her companion, hurriedly pulled her friend along.
In their minds, instead of thinking about the slave with black hair and red eyes, the tasks that needed to be completed before sunset filled their thoughts.
Epilogue 3
“Have you heard the news?”
A man with red hair, flowing down to his waist, descended from the sky to the ground.
The woman sitting by the lakeside did not glance at him but opened her mouth.
“What news?”
“About that interesting thing in your world. It’s been destroyed, right?”
“That interesting thing… Oh, the time stone? ”
“Was it called the Time Stone?”
“It was also referred to as the regression stone.”
“Well, whatever the name.”
The red-haired man approached the woman and tapped her shoulder, apparently displeased by her lack of attention.
The woman, with white hair cut short enough not to touch her shoulders, finally looked at him.
As soon as she made eye contact, the man spoke.
“Aren’t you disappointed it was destroyed? You used it quite cleverly, didn’t you? In a cowardly way.”
“Cowardly?”
“That’s right. If you hadn’t used the time stone, I would have won…”
“I never used the time stone.”
“You made the human you wanted use it! Isn’t that the same thing?”
“Well…”
The woman, sitting with one knee raised, rested her chin on her hand.
“Let’s say that’s true. Even so, it’s not cowardly. Even if I hadn’t touched the time stone, you would never have won.”
“Why not? If time hadn’t been reversed, by the time your ‘Evil God’ was resurrected, your ‘Celestial God’s Descendant’ would have already ended their own life, and then…”
“Then my ‘Evil God’ would have destroyed my world? I don’t know who you heard that from, but it’s strange. The resurrected ‘Evil God’ didn’t aim to destroy my world. It aimed to dominate it.”
“…Dominate?”
“While we’re on the subject, it’s about time you retrieve your cute thought forms. It seems like it’s reached the end of its lifespan.”
“Ugh…”
The red-haired man furrowed his brow in dismay. The woman glanced at his face briefly before turning her eyes back to the lake.
The man stole a glance at the woman’s profile and began to speak.
“You’re quite the enigma.”
“Why?”
“It seems like you’re interested in the humans of your world, but then again, you’re not… This time, it definitely seemed like you were interested, though. Giving one more life to a Divine Descendant, not to mention not meddling with the Time Stone.”
The woman, still watching the lake, gave a slight smile.
“Perhaps that’s why I created humans.”
“What?”
“I created something that resembles me. You’ll understand if you observe the world. There’s nothing as diverse and unpredictable as humans.”
She added,
“So, instead of following me around, why don’t you watch the humans in your world?”
“What…! When did I ever follow you around? Have you lived so long that you’ve started losing your mind? Nonsense…!”
“Yes, yes.”
The man, whose face had turned as red as his hair, soon disappeared into the sky.
The woman remained alone in front of the lake, recalling the conversation from earlier.
The Time Stone.
A stone that moves the ‘time’ humans dared not touch.
It was indeed an interesting object. It would be a lie to say she didn’t feel a twinge of regret watching it being destroyed…
“Well, it’s okay.”
The woman slightly curled her lips as she gazed at the calm lake.
She was certain.
If she continued to watch, someday, humans resembling him would create something ‘interesting’ again.
<The End>
Ugh Waiting is painful. I can’t seem to top up but issoke will patiently wait 🙆♀️ Thank you for translating 😍🙇♀️
