*Year 2647: 02 [Roland Deneuve] ◇◇◇*

President Isidoro sat at his desk, his face etched with exhaustion.

Roland strode swiftly toward him and grabbed him by the collar.

"Isidoro! What is the meaning of this! My daughter's, Violette's, life is on the line!"

He shook him violently, still holding on.

Blade, unable to watch any longer, placed a hand on Roland's shoulder, stopping him.

"I'm sorry, Roland... but I won't give permission. No, it's not that I won't. I can't."

"Why, Isidoro! We're not going to the future, we're just going back to the past to rescue our own citizens! What's the problem!"

Slowly removing Roland's hands, Isidoro spoke with a bitter expression.

"A message came from the future, forbidding all time travel. Including your case, of course."

"What...!?"

Interference from the future. Roland understood what that meant.

...The attack from the future that had once brought great damage to the Central Innovative People's Republic. It was a threat that present-day humanity could never hope to resist.

His eyes wide, he staggered back.

"Roland, you're a dear friend of mine. My heart aches for Violette too!"

Isidoro slammed his fist on the desk.

"I tried to negotiate, to see if they would at least grant permission for your case. But... it was no use."

He shook his head from side to side.

"Instead, the [System] proposed... no, ordered... that the [System] itself would explain the situation directly to you and Mr. Blade Scar. By name. That's why I summoned you two today, at this specific time."

Roland and Blade looked at each other, both with puzzled expressions.

"President Isidoro, an explanation from the [System] is..."

Blade's words were cut off before he could finish.

『Yes, from here on out,』

"It" had entered the office at some point without them noticing. No, it hadn't entered; it had suddenly appeared from nowhere.

A fist-sized humanoid figure shrouded in a faint light, with translucent, butterfly-like wings—a being in the form of a young girl.

Clad in what looked like a military dress uniform, "it" floated down onto the desk, scattering particles of light.

『...I shall explain.』

Roland and Blade were taken aback by its fairy-tale-like appearance.

Noticing this, "it" lightly waved its right hand from side to side, emphasizing its lack of hostile intent.

『This is merely an avatar. You have them in your era as well, don't you? Pay it no mind.』

After a deliberately theatrical throat-clearing gesture, it continued speaking.

『You are Roland Deneuve and Blade Scar, correct? A pleasure to meet you. We are the [System] that "proposes, guides, monitors, warns, and attacks."』

◆

『I spoke with the President the other day, but I thought it best to explain directly to you, Roland, as the party involved, and to you, Blade, as a person of great influence in many spheres. I called you here so as not to cause the President, who is busy preparing for the proposal he will make at the world conference in Bonn next month, any more worry and unnecessary trouble.』

"A proposal?"

Roland spoke, unable to hide his hostility.

『That's right. At the next world conference, a treaty for the complete ban of time travel will be concluded, led by the United States Northern. This is a certainty. Because we have already laid the groundwork with the leaders of every country.』

"You mean you've threatened them, don't you?"

『You may take it that way if you wish.』

The [System] replied to Blade's words with a smile.

『The catalyst for this will be, Roland, the incident your daughter was involved in at her time-travel destination... In our era, it is called the "Faust University Incident"—that very tragedy.』

"Wh...!?"

Roland's expression froze in astonishment.

『It is a tragedy. A truly sad story. And against the backdrop of that painful incident, this treaty will receive the support of almost all the people in the world. No, it will receive it. We know it will.』

"Because you are our future, after all."

『Precisely.』

The [System] paused for a breath.

『The danger of trouble at time-travel destinations, the difficulty of rescuing those involved, and the resulting negative impact on history—the danger of that. Out of concern for all these things—no, "under that pretext"—time travel, to both the past and the future, will be banned worldwide from now on. With one exception: the international organization for monitoring, and its predecessor, the [International Time Administration Bureau].』

"Don't tell me that's..."

『Exactly. The organization that the [International Time Administration Bureau] will eventually be renamed to is us. The mechanism that "proposes, guides, monitors, warns, and attacks." I came here today to explain this to you, to make it a certainty.』

A shock ran through Roland's entire body.

"Impossible...!? The future is going back to the past to create its own existence...!? And that will become the main current of history...!?"

Shaken to his core, Roland swayed. Blade hurriedly moved to support him.

Seeing the two of them, the [System] smiled sweetly.

『Who decided that the river of history only flows toward the future?』

"Wh...!?"

Roland groaned.

『It is said that humanity once believed that the sun and other planets revolved around the Earth.』

"The geocentric theory, that is."

At Blade's words, the [System] nodded.

『That's right. But it wasn't that humanity at the time had an overly inflated ego, nor was it that they believed so for religious reasons. With the observation technology and data of the time, it was more correct to interpret the sun as revolving around the Earth than the Earth revolving around the sun. Supported by numbers and theory. So, I do not think you are foolish.』

Blade listened to the story with his arms crossed.

『The culprits of the "Faust University Incident" were the "natives" used in the examination. According to our era's investigation, Roland's daughter and her companions calculated that the test subjects, the "natives," were people who would have no influence on history, and used them on that basis... President, is that correct?』

Isidoro silently affirmed.

『That in itself was a huge mistake. Because there is nothing in this world that is not connected to the flow of time. Everything that exists in this world is connected to something in the flow of all time. The flow of history is not unidirectional. Those who went to the future go back to the past, then advance to the future again, and then act on the past again. Even that is possible in the flow of time. It is the thread of history that weaves the eras. The people of Faust University were calculating based on a flawed theory and formula from the very beginning. The results they got were nothing but nonsense.』

"Then Violette... My daughter..."

『That's right. In a manner of speaking, she died as a historical necessity. It is as it should be, as it was meant to be. It was inevitable that those "natives" were chosen based on a wrong calculation, and it was inevitable that those "natives" would cause a tragedy. It is also inevitable that I am guiding you all like this, and that our organization is being created based on the incident. It is all the proper flow of history. It is inevitable.』

Realizing that it could not be changed, and that he would not be allowed to change it, Roland's shoulders slumped in defeat.

『However, in order to minimize the chaos in human society, it is still better to ban time travel. No matter how convoluted the flow of history has been, there is no need for it to be so complex in the future. After all, people should originally live only in their own time.』

Roland, who had been listening to the [System]'s lecture, opened his mouth.

"The one who protects that order is the institutionalized monitoring mechanism of the past. An organization for the lockdown of time, using the overwhelming power of the difference in eras..."

He continued, glancing at the alphabet [A・Lica] inscribed on the [System]'s chest.

"You, the system that 'proposes, guides, monitors, warns, and attacks'..."

A: approach

L: lead

I: inspect

C: caution

A: attack

"The ALica Organization... so it's the Alica System."

Roland let out a deep sigh.

He felt a weariness as if he had aged ten years in just these few minutes.

『No, that's wrong. It's not like that.』

"What is wrong, [System]?"

『The way you read it.』

"The way I read it?"

Roland and Isidoro looked at each other with puzzled faces.

『The abbreviation was also decided by the founder of the organization. It's irregular and the breaks are strange, so I suppose you wouldn't be able to read it that way unless you were told.』

"Then how do you read it? Won't you tell us?"

Blade asked, his voice tinged with a hint of delight.

『You pause once at the A. That's why it's written as A・Lica.』

And then the [System] slowly enunciated for the three of them.

『It is correct to call it the E-rika System. Yes, our name is the [Erika Organization]. Don't get it wrong, okay?』
