Not praying for ten strings

During the demon-summoning ceremony, Aiwass finally recalled his past life's memories.
This should be an online game that his family's company had released and operated for six years. Now, his foster father was the leader of the latest version's antagonist organization.
He would expose his identity six years later, hesitate and then defect from the protagonist's side. Ultimately, because he decided to take a fatal strike meant for the player character, he was killed by his upright older brother in a transitional CG without even a chance to enter the main content.
——But the problem was not too significant. Aiwass also knew many secret advancement routes exclusive to the player character, as well as the Nurturing Secret Sequel regulations of the various Paths. He believed he could reverse his unfortunate fate……
So now there was only one issue left.
"According to the original plot, shouldn't I have been rescued by the protagonist before this lousy ceremony even began?"
Tied to the ceremonial altar as a sacrifice, Aiwass fell into contemplation.

——But she regretted it immediately.


It would have been better if she hadn't found him at all!


On Oswald's elderly face was a broad smile as he held a full cup of ice-cold beer, arm in arm with a young human who appeared to be in his twenties or thirties. It was the same youth whose roaring voice had almost pierced Freya's eardrums earlier.


"I told you so, didn't I tell you? Pierik is a hero!"


The youth's face was already flushed red.


Clutching Oswald's shoulder, his face was full of excited smiles, "He did it! In the last ten minutes, scored three goals in a row, reversing——!"


Suddenly, he stepped up on the bar counter in front of the tavern—he stood with one foot on a stool and the other on the edge of the counter, as if playing an instrument, passionately waving his right hand through the air.
