"Elliot September. no, Elliot Ryan. Do you remember the day you and I first met?

"Suddenly what? Don't you forget? From that day on, I lived with the goal of entering the M-12. I'm in the Knights now because of that day."

Elliot was agitated by the fact that he was called by his real name. This is a Night's operation to draw Elliot's attention.

Seeing it as an opportunity, Elba immediately tried to steal Elliot's eyes and move on.

"It's no use. You tried to focus on one side by bringing in old stories."

But Elliot was still calm. While listening to Night, he didn't miss Elba's move. I still don't know if an emotional maneuver will work for Elliot.

"You've grown up quite nicely. You were a little kid who knew nothing back then, and now you're a fine black magician."

"You can't steal my eyes as long as you've talked. Why don't you give up?

"No, I won't give up. Whatever you say, no matter what you say, I won't stop talking."

"... please do what you want."

Elliot still lacks calm. But his upset grew only slightly. Elliot gradually listens. Night was convinced of it.

Retrospectively, about nine years ago, Night appeared at the Wilhelm Library in Elixis, the capital of the Kingdom of Celtoria.

In a room dedicated to the Knights in the library, Night was reading a book. There are many thick books piled up on the desk facing Knight. It's all about demons and black magic (Grimoire).

At this time, Night was involved in decrypting the Black Magic Book (Grimoire).

However, some of the stacked books were mixed with very ordinary books such as cooking and tourist destinations. Knight, who had been asleep for a long time, would have unconsciously been trying to acquire the knowledge that he was supposed to acquire in a blank time.

"Phew!

Night was reading a book with his back round, and all of a sudden he heard the voice of a small child.

A little boy with a flying toy appeared behind the night. An innocent boy has wandered into a special room where only Knights are allowed to enter.

"You're off-limits."

Night looked back and cautioned the boy with a gentle voice. There should be guards standing in the corridor leading to this room to keep the public out, but they seem to have missed one of the little boys.

"I'm sorry, but I'm so bored here. When I was playing with this flight, I came to this place."

The boy apologized immediately, but he didn't seem sorry. The boy, who would not have been brought to the library by his parents, had his cheeks swollen with resentment.

"I can't help it... What's your name?

Night, who had been in this room for hours, was breathless and decided to go out with the boy.

"I'm Elliot. Elliot Ryan"

The boy was Elliot, who was seven at the time. That's how Night and Elliot met.

Oniichan is from the Knights?

Yeah, that's right.

Even a small child knew the existence of the Knights of the Black Wizards (Grigori). It was already famous from that time.

"Elliot, don't you like books?

"Yeah, because it's just letters, and it's not funny either! This is much more fun to play with!

Elliot was an unimaginable study-averse boy. It is unnatural to be eager to study at this age. Children of this age simply pursue fun things.

"Listen, Elliot. Reading a book is just as interesting as playing in the air.

Night smiled gently and slowly laid his hand on Elliot's head. At that moment, Elliot lost consciousness and fell on the spot.

Elliot woke up in a dream world controlled by Night. However, it wasn't a lump of nasty dreams that was spreading there.

Beautiful starry skies are spreading all over the place, where Elliot's favorite airborne flights fly. Not only that, there were many kinds of beasts on earth, such as dragons, unicorns, and salamanders, and such beasts and human children seemed to be in pleasant contact with each other.

A world of pure innocence and imagination. A world where only peace and pleasure exist. It's Elliot's dream.

"How's it going? Isn't that wonderful?

"Wow! It's the world of dreams I saw yesterday!

Acknowledging the existence of the night, Elliot soon understood that this was not just a dream. The little boy who is delusional that it is real has his eyes sparkling with his mouth wide open. Dream reproduction was something that Night didn't create.

"That's right. Here, take a look."

Elliot's dreams vanished as Night grabbed his right hand and sucked it in.

Instead, it was the view of the library that was supposed to have existed. The landscape is both reality and melon, but this is still a dream world.

"Elliot, knowledge helps you. If you read a book and learn a lot, you can have more fun dreams. And everybody has the potential to make their dreams come true."

When the knight opened his hand, a number of small airstrikes jumped out of it. The flying sky that jumped out was sparkling as if it had covered the starry sky that had just spread out.

"Wow, can I do this too?

Elliot seemed to be glistening with a night that freely manipulated the world of his dreams. In just a few moments, the stranger turned into Elliot's long-awaited adult.

"Yes, whatever you dream of has the potential to come true."

"What should I do?

"Well then... let's start by reading and studying."

Eh ~

There are no children who are told to study and listen honestly. Elliot was no exception. Even if they show you the sight of a dream, if they ask you to study, the story is different.

"Elliot, that's the first step in making your dream come true."

"... okay. Read and study a lot!

"All right, all right! You just walked the path to your dreams."

For Elliot, the weight of Night's words was completely different. Night's words of admiration and goal were everything to Elliot.

"Oniichan, what's your name?

"I'm Night Disseminator."

Night responded with a smile to Elliot's glittering and longing eyes.

"If I hadn't had a dream with you at that time, maybe you wouldn't have stood in front of me like this...."

"That day, my world changed. You lied. To me, who was still pure. No matter how much you imagine and pursue, there are dreams that will not come true. In fact, your power to manipulate dreams is unique. No matter how hard you tried, no matter how much you sacrificed, you didn't get it."

By this time, Elliot was listening to Night. Even if you know it in your head, when you talk about important memories, you always listen to them.

However, Elliot still kept an eye on Elba's movements.

"That's true. But you got magical powers similar to Dreamer's. Imagination that turns knowledge into power. It's really magic for you."

"You are a liar. Why did I believe you like that....."

The more conversations with Night continue, the more Elliot's mind will be disturbed. Elliot doesn't know the past of the night. Night's behavior so far was beyond Elliot's comprehension.

………

Night couldn't say anything to Elliot, who was confused. Elliot is right, Knight is a lie made existence. I don't even know who I really am.

"You were my dream and my goal. I followed you to the Knights and climbed up to M-12. But I noticed it for the first time. My back was a lot farther away than I thought it would be."

Previously on Elliot, Knight was absolutely righteous. Justice and evil have nothing to do with it. Night is right about everything he says and does. Elliot thought so.

"But that's enough. It's all about the past. You are no longer an enemy to be defeated. A traitor painted with lies. That's you."

But Elliot gave up understanding Night. The yearning beyond comprehension turned into a fear of the unknown.

"Sorry, it's my fault. If you remember my erased memory... if you remember the old days, I would never have fascinated you with black magic (Grimor). I've driven your life crazy."

Night's expression was distorted when he saw Elliot disturb him. Night, who had lost his memory for over 100 years, regretted his helplessness. Night was also one of the victims of a powerful vortex of power.

"Erased memories? Old times? What are you saying... why are you apologizing? I don't know what that means. I have no idea.

Elliot's confusion was at its peak. It was a heartfelt cry.

"What you don't understand right now. Even if I tell you now, you're just confused. [M] You have to understand."

"I don't know... I don't know... there can't be anything I don't understand..."

Elliot's disturbance is just getting bigger when Night is soothed. Elliot scratched his head with both hands and kept screaming. Elliot had lost himself.

“Night, I got this.”

Elba didn't miss a moment when Elliot leaned over and Elba moved. Elba melted into a nearby mass of dreams and disappeared. It must be the only way to disappear from this place.

A bright red flash popped out of Elliot's body as if it echoed his mind. The bright red light swallows up the clumps of dreams around it and approaches the night. Elliot's black magic (Grimor) was moving beyond his will.

"It's completely rampaging!

By the time I realized it, the red flash had already begun to swallow up the body of the night. Once completely swallowed by red light, I don't know if Night, the ruler of my dreams, will be safe.

Only Elba, who has disappeared from the world, can stop Elliot.
