This Eroge Won't Make Me Fall!

Chapter 103 97: Human-Angel Conversation

?"What did you just say...?"

"I know it's a shocker, but truly, I am an angel—"

This stupid.

"I don't care about that. Regressor? What kind of Regressors are we talking about here? The ones that jump back in time?"

Dawn tilted her head to the side, then nodded.

"Yeah, that one."

"Multiple of them?"

She nodded.

What the actual fuck?

Was I hearing right? I shifted my gaze to see Titania with her jaw dropped open on my shoulders.

It seemed I was hearing right.

I stepped away from Dawn and crossed my hands. My head was a jumbled mess.

A regressor? I was already aware that the future could be looked into, after all, Raum and his agent did the same back in the Hall fiefdom. I also knew from Lady Sophia that the 'future' that is seen by these demons is just one 'possibility' of many.

So then, what was up with regressors?

"You have questions, right?" Suddenly, a soft touch landed on the top of my head. The woman, no, the angel a bit taller than me slightly ruffled my hair. "Why don't we sit and talk?"

I didn't brush her hand away but looked at Titania instead.

"I'll be able to analyze this curse soon. Her words seem interesting."

I sighed and reached into my bag, pulling out a potion.

Dawn watched as I poured the contents of the potion into my hand and rubbed it on the wound on her neck.

"Ah."

"Let's talk then," I said, making sure I covered the entire wound. The effect started immediately since it was just a small injury without any Mana or Ki infused.

Dawn let herself be treated without a noise. Once I was done, I tossed the vial of potion back and slightly stretched my hands. After peering over both sides of the passageway and making sure nothing was going to come here, we took a seat.

Silence was necessary, so we stuck close together till our shoulders touched.

Dawn didn't say anything and only looked down at her hands.

Taking another breath, I broke the silence.

"How will you be getting out of this place? You're not stuck here, are you?"

I could have jumped right into the heart of the matter, but I thought some padding was necessary.

It seemed to have come across differently though, since the adventurer turned toward me with what I could only judge as a happy aura exuding from her.

"It's not like that," Dawn explained. "I can't contract a fairy because I have similar abilities to one. From this place would be tough, but I can get out of the dungeon from a reward room."

"So we'll be clearing the eightieth floor at the least. Got it."

"You'll accompany me?"

What was she even asking?

"Of course," I spat.

Dawn lowered her gaze again and nodded. Then, she suddenly raised her hand and pushed my head back.

"Don't brat. You should listen and just get out of here."

"Tsk! You annoying wench!"

"What did you just call your elder?"

"Old hag!"

"I'm 25! It's not old!"

"Oh yeah? Don't lie, I know you're in your thirties!"

"HAH!? W-w-who told y-you a lie l-like that?"

My shoulders drooped and a chuckle escaped me.

"You're too worried about your age!" I said, finding her reaction rather funny. "Don't worry, people would describe you as an 'inhuman beauty' no matter where you go."

Dawn suddenly turned stiff.

"S-stupid!" she suddenly pushed my shoulder and turned away.

Heh. How cute.

"Wow, you really are stupid, Eugy!" Titania complained on my shoulder as she tapped my cheeks.

I sighed and shook my head. It seemed I was surrounded by some strange companions.

"Anyway, next, why are you a 'fallen angel'?" I was curious about this too.

As if she didn't expect the next question to be about her as well, Dawn turned to me again.

"Well, kid, it's because I came down to the mortal plane. I am not a full angel anymore, my abilities are sealed and I can't contact anyone in the higher planes either."

Dawn didn't seem to think much about her state as she listed things off.

"There's no other angel here either, so don't worry about that."

"I see," I nodded. "Then, I'll ask about the regressors. Are they a big deal?"

"Hm, sort of?" Dawn tilted her head. "Well kid, the future is never set in stone. Every other second can change outcomes, all we can see is the probability of things."

That was my understanding of things too. Demons that could see into the future like Raum were only able to see of the many possible outcomes. If it was all set in stone, then I would have never been able to catch Raum's agent. The same could be said for stronger skills of future sight. Instead of seeing the future set in stone, they could see the more probable of all outcomes instead.

"A regressor is different. Regressors have already lived through a future, they know of things unfolding as they should have."

"But, if even a single change is made, won't they end up changing the future they saw?"

Dawn nodded. "That is not something to be relieved over. Look at it from a different perspective."

I thought for a few seconds when realization dawned on me.

"Because their small changes can twist the future, they can change it their way?"

"Correct," Dawn nodded. "It doesn't always work, even when it does it doesn't affect the entire world, but the fact that it can be done is not to be ignored."

This was definitely a problem.

But, it didn't concern me much, did it?

"We can't locate or do anything to these regressors either, so we choose to find and monitor them. After all, regression is not something that can be done without divine intervention."

"Is that so...?"

Dawn nodded again.

She sure agreed rather easily to tell me all this.

"So, Dusk..." Dawn suddenly leaned closer to me and narrowed her eyes. "Are you, a regressor?"

Ah...?

Ahhhh!

Right, there were a lot of things that could point me to be one.

From setting history in the adventurer's exams to going so deep in the dungeon and even cornering the angel.

I would suspect myself too.

"No," I said. "I am not a regressor. But I do have memories of another life, in a sense, I am someone from another world who possessed this body."

"Right, of course, you're not a regressor—HAH!?"
