When the spell ends, Bell looks exhausted, but the robed man doesn't stop. He suddenly attacks from behind. Zaraf lacks proper battle sense and can't move in time.
The attack hits the female main character directly in the heart.
Bell tries to use her rule powers, but the man suddenly opens a gate and jumps into it.
He laughs and says, "Ahh, my attack failed. What a shame. Haha."
The portal vanishes.
Bell says, "Zaraf, are you alright?"
Zaraf says, "…She is dead."
The main character says, "No… it can't be."
After the incident, they buried her along with the other victims. Zaraf looks devastated.
Bell says, "Why are you sad? She is just your creation."
Zaraf says, "…It looks like you see me as a kid playing with his created toys. But I am different. I think of them as people, equal to me, not beneath me."
Bell looks shocked.
Bell says, "If that's so, then you need to make this story complete again."
Zaraf says, "Complete? What does that mean?"
Bell says, "The world you create is like a story. Every story needs a main character, a female main character, and a villain. They are the pillars of your world and keep it balanced. But right now, your world has lost the female main character—one of its pillars. If this continues, your characters and the Imaginary World will crumble and go out of your control."
Zaraf says, "!! …So what should I do?"
Bell says, "You have two choices. The first is to give the female main character title to someone else. The second is to bring her back to life."
Zaraf says, "Can I do that? How?"
Bell says, "In the creator state, you can control that as well, but you need to have her soul fragment."
Zaraf says, "So how should I use the creator state, and where is her soul fragment?"
Bell says, "…It's—"
Zaraf says, "What is it?"
Bell says, "When that man opened a portal to escape, her soul fragment was pulled into it by space distortion."
Zaraf says, "That guy again… who was he? I want to get back what he took from me."
Bell says, "I don't know. I have informed the others, and we will get information on him soon. You don't need to worry about him for now."
Zaraf says, "…Okay. Then what about her soul and the creator state?"
Bell says, "Her soul fragments are scattered across other creator worlds. He ran into another creator's world. I can search for her. As for the creator state, once a creator makes a contract with a fairy, they can enter the creator state."
Zaraf says, "A contract… I don't think I passed the test."
Bell says, "Hmm. Don't worry about that. You already passed the test when you took that hit from the monster. So I am ready to make an official contract with you."
Zaraf says, "Ah… okay. What do we have to do?"
Bell says, "It is the oldest spell, binding two souls and bodies together in a pact. That is what is called the creator contract."
A magic circle begins to form, binding them. Bell raises her hand, and Zaraf does the same. Their hands touch, and the contract is formed.
