We press the Time Keeper for answers as the five of us walk the empty hallways. Quietly, of course.

“Look, either you come clean about this, or it’s going to hurt,” threatens Nikeh, keeping a tight grip with both hands on the gnome after pulling him out of Benjamine’s chest.

“Hmph. Think I’m scared of you?”

The other students have classes at this very moment, so we mind our surroundings as we walk.

“So what exactly happened? And keep it brief,” she continues.

Before, he would say things like “I don’t have any business with you people” and “be more broad-minded” and “talk to me when you have a bigger butt, girl” to us (with the exception of Benjamine, of course), but he’s turned meek all of a sudden. His eyes wander all over the place as cold sweat beads on his face.

See? That’s what you get when Nikeh’s on the case. This beauty may not look like it, but she’s an actual knight. Even in a quiet voice she can pressure someone better than your average bruiser.

“I-It’s true that it was some high-class lady who brought me out of that freak show...”

By “freak show,” he must mean the black market.

“I simply don’t care to know more about these people. Not like she would tell me anything if I tried. You young’uns wouldn’t understand.”

“Drop the cliché old man talk, would you?” retorts Nikeh.

Maybe he finds it cute, but he’s just being obnoxious.

“I’m surprised you’ve managed to stay out of trouble, if anything.”

I was just thinking the same thing. Being so careless and indiscriminate, he’d end up in jail, or even erased from existence if he was any less lucky. Being a doll wouldn’t save him.

“So you really didn’t try to find anything out about her?” adds Nikeh.

It seems he only finds out who you are by asking. If he asked me who I am, I could say I’m Nikeh Brunel and he’d buy it. I’d expected a being with the power to bend time itself to be better disciplined, but the truth has turned out to be pretty scary. What if the past has already been changed without our knowing? It’s terrifying to think about.

It’s great that we happened to find him this time, though it was only by chance. And while he said you can’t change the past too much, we still would’ve had our memories overwritten had we not found out about this. Looking back on it, it was actually pretty crazy how Rockmann magically overwrote the memories of everyone in the world to grant my wish for a normal life.

Seeing me looking away from the Time Keeper with worry written on my face, Benjamine gives me a look that plainly says What’s wrong?

“It’s nothing,” I reply and clear my throat.

Still, Rockmann wasn’t being a nuisance to everyone—he had the king’s permission, and his spell didn’t change the future of those who had nothing to do with me. Unlike what this Time Keeper has been doing, Rockmann didn’t endanger people’s lives. It’s rude to compare such a menace to what Rockmann did.
