As the boss' health bar appeared, the start of a battle was recognised, and the same high-pitched organ from every other attempt began to play.
Glancing at that 'GUI' for the nth time, a completely unrelated memory flashed in my mind of my first time in Drakon-Rasa.
Not only was it my first Red Contract, but it was also a game and the first Contract where I encountered an element from the world's essence due to my Authority―the soundtrack.
Because of that, there were more similarities between that and this Black Contract.
Following that line of thought, I began to absentmindedly wonder what would have happened if I entered Drakon-Rasa with my current level of Authority; what other elements would I have experienced other than the soundtrack?
For example, since it was originally a dating game for young girls, would I have been able to see various male leads' relationship meters?
'――Ah.'
Thud-!
