Dorei Tensei: Sono Dorei, Saikyou no Moto Ouji ni Tsuki

Episode 29 Slavery, Returning to Your Past self

The way Fiel stood reminded me of the old days and made me think that I was still Ars Ditland.

The crying worm remains the same, and the figure that has not grown since then is characteristic of elves that differ in the flow of time from humans. But it paralyzed my senses.

"It's Ars...."

So, no, just now...

The next moment, Fiel rushed over and buried her face in my chest, crying like a child.

"Hey...."

"Why are you lying...?"

Her chest hurt and she was about to tear apart with Fiel's swallowing and words.

Fiel, Dallas, and my brother's virus were the ones who knew I was studying resurrection magic. In the process, I also knew that I created reincarnation magic.

I was one of the last people to use reincarnation magic, and I told him to forget about it when he failed. However, the Royal Palace now has Ars Ditland. And yet, I don't know why you recognize me as Ars. Elves are sensitive to the subtlety of their minds, but that alone lacks persuasion.

Besides, if we talk about everything here, we'll definitely get Fiel involved.

That's all I want to stop.

It would be better for Fiel to leave the kingdom of Carlitz and return to the woods of the god tree in his hometown.

"Why do you think I'm Ars?" I asked, wiping with my fingers the shizukuzuku flowing through Fiel's cheeks.

"You called my name, even though nobody called my name. And my position."

"... because I was at Harvey's party, and I heard your name then."

"... then, how can I use Ars' original magic, singular magic?" Fiel stared at me with eyes still filled with tears.

Speaking of which, it was magic I only showed Fiel once. And I had a hunch that I had failed. Without knowing it, Fiel would have quickly understood that the magic of the present was due to multiple attributes. No one who can handle magic of such magnitude can exist without the knowledge of the world.

I got stuck with answers and spent some silent time.

"... why didn't you say anything... why didn't you call me Fiel again... even though Ars is the only one who's really mad at me so much..."

Once again, Fiel spills a large tear and enters the scene.

The spheres of light that had remained in the sky just now disappeared, and the dark night completely enveloped us both.

----What should I do...?

What the hell am I doing making Fierr cry again when he runs away from Ars...?

I don't know what's right or wrong...

I repeated my question and came to one conclusion.

That 's--

"I am Wallsey of the Kingdom of Euresia. Understand that and listen to me--Fiel."

◆ ◇ ◆

The stars that peered into our faces from the gap of the clouds lit up the night sky, and the dark black river that spreads in front of our eyes was lit gently around us by the pale light spheres that I created earlier on my pinky finger.

"Looks like you're dreaming..."

Having completely stopped crying, Fiel sat down on the river and stared at the sphere of light with a nostalgic look.

When I joined the Magic Division, I recalled calling Fiel, who was hardly familiar with human society, and then released him into the night sky.

"Fiel, I need to ask you something. Who am I in the royal palace?"

"Mr. Ars... Probably...."

I turned my face to Fiel to answer a question I didn't quite understand. There was Fiel, who was full of anguish and not convinced of himself, unlike the look he had just made.

"What do you mean? Seventeen years ago, after I used reincarnation magic, what happened to me?

"The reincarnation magic failed," Fiel said, turning to me. I realized that the expression was serious and not joking.

"That day, Ars, who used reincarnation magic, died and started preparing for the national funeral, but the next morning, he appeared in front of us. And I said," The reincarnation magic failed, but I'm alive. "

"You're alive!?

"... yes. Unlike resurrection magic, reincarnation magic happened to work in that direction."

It's impossible for reincarnation magic to work that way. But even the magic I tried in Goblin, the magic of time regression worked unexpectedly. Perhaps an unexpected phenomenon has occurred in a part I don't understand...

"I'll make sure it's really me, right?

"Probably...."

"What did you say earlier? I have no idea."

"That's... it seems that the resurrected Arus has changed from the previous Arus... However, my memory and brain are still clear. Therefore, Dallas and Iris are definitely the same person... but I'm sure the real Arus is reborn... but the resurrected Arus is not the same person..."

My judgment can't find an answer that doesn't boil down, as if I've lost my landing point.

How can it be that memory and judgment remain intact and other people's personalities reside?

Or did the aftermath of my reincarnation magic failure interfere with my personality?

Before that, if you're failing, the reason I exist is strange... Separation is tantamount to splitting your soul, and it's useless to think about it.

"Did someone manipulate you or feel anything?

"... that's right..." Fiel meditated and stopped moving for a while. And as if I remembered something, I suddenly opened my eyelids and said, "It's often cold around me, but sometimes I look at my eyes, and I feel terribly lonely. And as if you didn't like it, you don't look in the mirror much anymore."

As Fiel put it, it's hard to imagine someone manipulating you.

Because Ars has strong emotions and is acting on his own will.

"Can you use magic on that Arus? I lost my life because I couldn't stand my magic powers. Even if Ars is back, I can't understand that he's been safe for 17 years."

"I don't know because I have refrained from large-scale magic, but I used common magic. Once the body died, you said it was because of the new cell activation....."

Before I died, I was spinning all my magic powers on reincarnation magic. Even if I survive that state, I don't think I'll be able to use my magic again. I'm not sure who Ars is yet. But being beyond my common sense is a threat.

But now I know one thing.

Ars Ditland, now in the royal palace, cannot be killed easily.

Living beyond my imagination, I don't know how much magic I can use.

I'm not proud, but if Arus as a magician is the opponent, I won't be able to fight in a single line. There is no doubt that there will be enormous damage, and the country may be inclined to do so.

"What's wrong with you?

Fiel peeked into her crying face again.

I couldn't help crying again, but I had to say this, and I opened my mouth in preparation for Fiel to cry.

"I heard that Ars is hiding behind the Illus and imposing heavy taxes that are painful to the people. Besides, I'm not going to forgive anyone who tried to kill Fiel. I'm going to take care of it with my hands."

After hearing my words, Fiel took a breath, but begged immediately, "It's okay with me. And... I don't think it's Arus who's in the royal palace... I don't want to see Arus hurt," he said, staring at me seriously.

Fields almost got killed by that Ars, but he still seems desperate to cover it.

I was jealous of what he looked like, and I thought it was me, but I kept talking without showing it.

"I've just been asked to exterminate a cult, and there's information that I've met the dead in connection with that. If that's true, I think Arus has something to do with the cult. If there's a connection, it could be dangerous for the virus, and I don't like it, but I think we have to kill Als."

The temperature gradually disappeared from Fiel's face, turning his gaze from me to the river.

In awkwardness, a moment of silence passed between the two.

----How long has it been?

When the finished sphere of light started playing in front of me, Fiel's head, sitting next to me, fell on my arm.

"... Mr. Arus, no, Walth did not return to his country even if he fulfilled his original wish to acquire a strong body. On the contrary, is it the Crown system that keeps so focused on requests for other countries?

"Oh, I'm working as a princess escort now."

"... I understand that Mr. Walls is in a heavy position in the Kingdom of Euresia. Still, I wanted you to come back a little earlier," Fiel said with a slightly angry voice.

"If Ars were alive, no one would have believed I was coming back. Besides, I'm not back yet...."

I didn't know what to say to the misunderstood Fiel, and she looked at me strangely when she was stuck in words.

What would Fiel look like if he knew I was a slave?

I had a strong feeling that I didn't want to disappoint you, but I couldn't move forward without hiding it, so I decided to say the word with all my heart.

"I am now a slave in the Kingdom of Euresia."

Fiel froze at me and stopped moving.

After all, I exhaled a deep sigh.
