"Yes she's one of our best a.s.sets we can get to counter our opponents."

I cannot deny her words. But that's a method that I don't want to use. If we make Eve use the black power and win, Eve gets corrupted and the G.o.d bird will take lives. Eve has already used the G.o.d bird's power twice, there is no guarantee that she will survive the third time. There is also the chance that she would be reduced to a vegetable.

I can't afford to do this because Eve is very important to me, she is my lover.

"What other ways are there?" 

"There are two other ideas that I thought of. The first one is where we bet using Kearuga nii-sama's life, and even then the chances of succeeding are low. That man is obsessed with you and we can only let you get captured and find a chance to kill him as he uses you as a toy."

"That's a good plan. It'd be easy to create a one on one situation with him if we do that."

"Yes, but we are talking about Brett here. He should have already seen through this plan by now and is probably ready to accept it with open arms. He must have already placed counter measures and in the worst case scenario…no, if a miracle doesn't happen, then Kearuga nii-sama will be his toy for the rest of his life."

So if a miracle doesn't occur, I'll definitely lose. And even if do win, I'll lose things of great importance to me. But the trade off might be worth it if I win.

"Tell me the second option now."

"Yes. In truth even our current situation has a 90% chance of us losing so I feel like it is best to just return the Chabudai."

"I'm not too sure since it's so abstract."

"Kearuga nii-sama's [Recovery Heal] has too many functions and advantages that I feel like it is not a [Recovery Heal] anymore. It's quite strong."

"Of course. It's my power after all."

"So, that's why I thought to think outside of the box! What if we choose to heal the world itself and rewind time."

I was surprised. I was surprised because she reached the same conclusion that I reached in my first life.

"It is certainly possible in theory. But it is only theoretical. Even at our current level, we cannot take out that much power."

"You do have the necessary power. You just need to use the [Philosopher's Stone] as Brett did. If you have that, will you use [Recovery Heal]?"

"Since the [Philosopher's Stone] was taken away, isn't it too troublesome?"

“Isn't there something similar that you can use?” Ellen asks casually. 

"Are you talking about Eve?"

"The current Demon King Eve Reese. If you kill her you can get it, no? If it's Kearuga nii-sama, you should be able to sneak attack her anytime you want."

"That's a bit too much."

"I know. I too do not want to do this since I see her as a friend. But I think that as soon as you use [Recovery Heal] she will return back to life and you can kill Brett and everything would be okay."

Seeing Ellen smiling like that while she said it I knew full well at that time that she was Princess Norn's sister.

As a genous she would choose the best decision no matter what. Even if it wasn't the morally right decision.

"I won't do that." I said firmly. 

"You mean you won't? It's not that you can't?"

"Yeah. I won't use the G.o.d birds power but I'll at least listen to what the G.o.d bird wants to say. And then we'll continue planning. Let's start the process of putting me out as bait."

"Are you sure? I'm pretty sure your gonna regret it later."

"Yes I'm sure. Since there's a possibility, I'll bet on that slim chance."

"If that is your decision then I will go along with it. I don't want to lose my memories of my time you, Kearuga nii-sama." Ellen says, smiling. 

Surprisingly, Ellen agreed instantly to the plan where the only success would happen if a miracle occurs.

It's quite strange, it's surprising that Ellen will do something like give up on her duty as a soldier and agree to something like this.

If it was the Ellen I knew, then she would have tried really hard to convince us otherwise.

"I'll do my best to even up the possibility of us winning by so little as to 1%!” I say, with conviction. 

"Yes, please do." Ellen says, cheerfully. 

I push down the suspicious feeling that rises inside my heart.

Perhaps there is something that she is hiding from me. It is impossible that she would betray me because I made it that way.

No matter what she does in the end it would be to aid me.

Since the decision has been made, I won't b.u.t.t in and say anything else. I'll leave this to Ellen and just work on things that I can.
