At the moment of death, it seems one recalls various events from birth to the moment of dying.
â...A 15-year life, huh? A bit short, isnât it? The highlights of my life... huh? ...hmmn??â
For some reason, for some inexplicable reason,
what I remembered at that moment was the memory of my previous life.
The memory of using the power of the 'Great Saint' to the fullest, which is now nothing more than a fairy tale.
âHaha, what is this absurd power! Itâs driving the worldâs logic mad!!â
While being killed by a monster and bleeding out in a fatal amount, I remembered my previous life.
âââ
On that day, my older sister's enraged voice echoed from the largest room in our house.
âOnce she undergoes the âRite of Adulthood,â she will undoubtedly die!â
Right now, we are in the middle of a family meeting with my father and my four siblings.
The topic is whether I should undergo the dangerous âRite of Adulthoodâ to become a knight...
âBut, I heard she has improved a bit. Thereâs a 50% chance she might survive.â
My younger brother glanced at me and countered my older sister.
My older sister, with veins popping on her temples, glared at my younger brother.
âHah? So, thereâs a 50% chance she will die! We already have four knights in this house! Thereâs no need to push her to the limit!!â
My younger brother and older sister glared at each other.
My older brother sat in a distant seat, polishing his sword as if uninterested.
Father, who had been silent with his arms crossed, suddenly looked at me and spoke.
âFia, what do you want to do?â
âEh, m-me? I, I want to do it!â
...Crap.
I got nervous when I heard my name called after a long time and ended up stuttering.
My older sister looked at me with a pitying gaze and began to speak as if trying to convince me.
âThere are other paths besides becoming a knight. Father is the deputy leader of the knight order, and my brothers and I are knights, so thereâs no worry about our family being disbanded in the next generation. You can choose a profession you like.â
âWell then... I want to be a knight.â
To make them understand that this is my own will, I looked firmly into my older sisterâs eyes and spoke clearly.
I want to become a knight.
Because it has been my dream since I was little.
After a moment of silence, my older sister sighed as if giving up.
âI know youâve been training to become a knight since you were little. I know youâve always admired knights. But... No, I understand! If thatâs the case, then undergo the âRite of Adulthood.â However, if you donât return after a day, we will come looking for you!â
And so, it was decided that I would undergo the âRite of Adulthoodâ the next day.
