Everything started that day. A day where I had prepared to meet my end.

  All of it in a pace. Dipidated and abandoned by its people over the years. In a way, it was a fitting pce for me.

  There, a powerful being dwells, buried in the ruins of what once was a grandeur.

  There I fought until the end, taking the opponents life with mine. After that battle, lies my freedom from this world.

  But even that was not enough.

  And once again I was saved.

  …

  Looks like I'm... Alive?

  I felt my body and became aware of my lingering thoughts. I hadn’t truly disappeared so this cannot be death.

  I can feel something in my head, what's this? There is something soft and comfortable I'm lying at... A pillow? No, it feels softer but much more springy than that…

  I tried to feel my eyes and managed to open it. What I saw was the ceiling of a broken dome, light shone down from there, and beyond was the white clouds and blue sky.

  "What a beautiful view. I won... right?" Well maybe since I'm alive. Or this could be the heaven, rewarded only to those who deserved it. Was I such a person?

  Or is this paradise?

  I suddenly felt a soft and gentle caress on my cheeks.

  "Are you awake, my savior?"

  Someone's face had blocked the view of the beautiful sky.

  Hm? Someone?

  "...Huh?"

  But it was not any less beautiful than the sky. Not just as much… But even more beautiful than the heavens itself. She had quite an otherworldly appearance and I've never seen anyone who looks like her... A light yellow hair, green eyes and a faint smile that looked so understanding.

  Hm? That's strange....

  "Woah wait a minute— ack!"

  The realization jolted me awake.

  She was bending too much near my face, so when I tried to wake up we hit both our heads.

  I was awakened by the reality that there is actually someone who let me sleep on her p. And it was a girl who came from nowhere looking like a princess from some royalty.

  I made sure that I was alone before fighting.

  I looked at her as I wondered who she was.

  "Who... Are you?"

  What's a girl doing here in a pce like this?

  "I'm a princess!"
