Flower fields spread all over the place.

The sky is clear and blue, as long as there is no cloud and no sunshine.

…………

Edwin Gaul wondered where this was.

Why am I here? It was only for a moment that such a question arose, and Edwin moved on naturally. I felt I had to.

Nevertheless, it's like a strange place. Of course I don't know the way or anything.

Walking along street-like streets that cut through flower fields.

"... nn"

Eventually, it was close to the turnout. The way is to the right and to the left. A cluttered wooden sign stands in the middle of it.

It was neatly written in black.

Merriatis Villa Styx

"... haah?

Even if I look at this, I don't know which way to go.

If you go left, it looks like someone's villa, but on the right...

(What is this, ancient iristanian? I don't know what it says.)

As long as you don't know where you are, you can go left and ask people honestly. But more than that,

(... if I go to the right, what's going on...?

Curiosity inspired me.

That's been the case for a long time. They want to do the opposite of normal people. It is such a twisted character.

If it seems dangerous, just turn around. So I did not think deeply and chose the right path.

After a while, there was a sound that gradually came to my ear.

(... this... is there a river nearby?)

Must be water.

It gets bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger.

"... oh!

Along the road, a large river appeared.

A beautiful tributary that shines brightly with light from the sky. Across that shore are flower gardens similar to ours. The distance is white and blurry. And then...

(Oh, there's someone here.)

There is a pier a little further away, and a figure who is lowering his hips in that corner and playing fishing.

As we get closer, the figure becomes clearer.

Therefore, it was myself who was hanging the thread on the surface of the water.

Edvin Gaul.

Not surprisingly, Edwin talks to the 'self' who is fishing.

"Hey, can you fish?

As I said, I looked at the bucket beside him and found nothing in it. I feel strangely convinced that it seems like I can't do anything. Speaking of which, when I was a kid, I used to fish and play in the rivers flowing through the city of King's Landing, but I remember not catching the crappy fish.

"Hey, isn't it over already?

"Another Edvin" said such a boring thing as he stared at the stream of water shaking in the light.

"Me, Aliumi and Daigos... not like Bell. No matter how hard you try, I won't let them cum!"

"... that's right."

Sitting next to Dokari and "him", you can look at the water without a single fish.

Meanwhile, the other Edwin continues. Keep the fishing line hanging, with an uncontrolled mouth.

"I can't help but be a very top-notch chanter, Mage. Aliumi, you can't be a hero fighting with your fists. I can't be anybody after all, just a loser."

"That's right...."

I had no intention of denying it.

Anyway, reality tells everything.

In college, it is faster to count from the bottom. Simulated fights are appreciated, but they don't reach Bergrette or Digos. Neither Claire nor Lenore can beat Marisela, who is currently studying in Bulk Fort.

Instead of being the best in my field, I didn't put my fingers in the five-finger, and I didn't have a part that was dedicated to "I can't lose to anyone with this."

I was hopeful about the emergence of a godforsaken that cut through everything with only the flesh, and I tried to train myself, but I was just saddened by the fact that I couldn't be like him or Gayserius.

Nothing can be done, just a half-wit.

--And this time.

I thought it might be the Great Venus of the Orchester assassins, but eventually I lost.

I don't remember, but from what I overheard in the enemy's conversation, it seems that the opponent I played the death fight with was not even a decent fighter. Moreover, even the wounds eventually healed.

I'm no longer even halfway there. Completely wasted.

"... heh"

'Me', who is interested in fishing next door, embodies exactly that.

Drop threads on empty rivers and wait for unvisited fishing. A total waste of effort.

That's what he says. This time.

"Isn't it over already?

and.

Edvin Gaul has nothing. I can't leave anything behind when I'm nervous.

That's why I thought it would be all right. So I thought, "I don't need to go back."

…………

Beautiful flower fields, clear blue skies as far as you can see. It seems comfortable. It may not be bad to forget everything and stay here forever.

But...

"Hey, I noticed."

As if to confess a secret, Edwin monologues to the other himself.

"Nothing, I wasn't" strong "anymore. You know, I was just" getting stronger, "but I was training my body. The real purpose was somewhere else."

Of course, I admire the "strength" of being a boy. If I could be strongest, I wouldn't complain anymore.

But it is.

"All I wanted was for my dick to follow me as I got stronger. I wanted to get stronger and be seen by the others."

I wanted to be admired, recognized, and envied by everyone... something special.

"If it was at first glance, it didn't have to be" strength. "You'll laugh. I'm surprised I realized that. It's a lot of small things."

That's why I've been sleepy since I was a kid.

I'm sorry I'm the same as the others. Against the rules, all you have to do is stand out.

It was the fastest for Edwin, who had no pronounced magic talent, no brilliant brain, and no blessed appearance. Rather, it was the only way.

"He wanted me to say," Aww, awesome. "

That's how he started pointing at his back finger, saying he was stupid and helpless.

"Actually, it's the exact opposite, Dase."

The same is true of the vision of Goddess and Gayserius.

I was attracted to its uniqueness, which is called the strongest without the use of the chanting magic "Oracle".

In this world, the amount of soul power "Prana" born determines the sequence. I wanted to destroy the common sense that I was a winner enough to handle the excellent chanting magic "Oracle".

The Guardian and Guyserius who actually accomplished it were recognized as special beings, and I wanted to do the same.

The only "strength" I should have tried to push without compromise.

It was meant to be a serious goal, but it was only a means of gaining people's appreciation. I was just dishonest.

I noticed the fact.

"That's how Roku did it." That "was a little silly and fresh... waxy and shocking."

"... I'm glad. I knew Edwin was a good person.

"I'll laugh at you. I'm the good guy. Damn it, that little girl... she doesn't know anything about me."

"Thank you so much for saving my daughter."

"... but... that's what made me so happy."

I was delighted. I was thanked.

It's more expensive than ever.

Satisfaction spreading deep into your chest.

"Rather, that's where the monkey I was looking for was. I was thanked for being awesome at first glance."

Now I know. That's why I'm still a guerrilla.

--Edvin Gaul is a real fool.

Just go the other way. I've been away for over a decade to get here.

"... it's obvious that the Lenore guy is holding something."

"... I wonder if you'll be thanked." Let's finish this one. "

"That's the best I've ever had. Where are you going? This is so kick-ass, I wish I'd fallen in love with him!"

"Kk, don't be silly.......,...... but when you look at him carefully, he looks so cute..."

…………

…………

"That's not true, idiot, what are you talking about...!

"What!? You're the one who told me... stupid...!

Yes, Hard Edvin Gaul, unfortunately there is another woman in love. You can't imitate a true man, a floating one.

Ke, are you going there?

Even though he looked up, he had a smile on his face.

"Ow."

I nodded with pride.

"Ah, the Orchesters didn't kill me.... no, either way..."

A conversation in which the two shadows intersect in a disappearing consciousness. Thoughts were not working properly, and my ears were barely hearing.

"... I'm glad they missed me and Waza."

"... I guess so."

"You rotten slut!"

"I don't know what you're going to do..."

I'll make you regret it.

The smile, the words overlap perfectly.

There are no more rashes.

A fool named Edvin Gaul has set his course.

"Well, first things first."

If you laugh at another person who still hangs a thread on the river,

Ah.

He let go of the fishing rod. Falling into the pier, it spreads like a phantom with no substance.

I don't know if I'm going.

"Ow"

For now, just wake up.

At least that's what makes her 'happy'.

Unfortunately, I don't have any particular feelings for Edwin. But that sweethearted girl will definitely be relieved if her classmates are safe. Like yourself.

"Bell, the woman I fell in love with, she's such a jerk."

Oh, yeah.

The world turns white.

The distant blue sky, the flower fields that continue forever, the sparkling streams, and all of your sights are wrapped in dazzling light ---

It disappears.

When the invisible white darkness is swept away, something gradually becomes blurry and visible.

... white, unfamiliar ceiling. When I breathe, the smell of the thin medicine gets on my nose.

And then...

"... Ed... Vin...?

Beautiful blue girl peeking into fear. I have a feeling of discomfort in my ears and I can't hear my voice well. Still, I won't make a mistake hearing her voice.

I feel like I haven't seen that face in a long time.

"Ow......"

I thought I'd reply lightly, but my throat was tight. Unlike in the flower fields just now, I realize that I can barely even make a sound.

My body hurts too. Still, I have to tell you.

"... are you worried...?

Bergrette wipes her eyes.

"... I'm calling you, as far as I can tell... it's not natural..."

The voice that rinsed his nose trembled.

Oh, yes, it is.

He still doesn't know what kind of path Edwin Gaul is going to take. Still, I do now.

"Edwin... I'm glad.... good, really..."

This girl is' happy '.

"... I'm sorry... I'm home , man.

That's all it was worth waking up to.
