Chapter 31
Time passed.
And eventually—
New arrivals came.
Not observers.
Not investigators.
People tied to the original timeline.
Rudeus recognized one instantly.
Green hair.
Calm expression.
Sharp eyes.
"…Sylphiette."
She blinked.
"…Rudeus?"
The meeting felt normal.
But the world around them—
Was not.
Because even here—
Rudeus's presence affected everything.
