Hermit Wizard

I lifted Parvash's body and put it on the table. He looks up at me with his arms extended.

[Question? What question?]

I hesitated for a moment and said, I don't think I can wait any longer.

“I just had a dream. You came out again. The totem you're holding right now, it's not what it looks like. It was a figure close to your source. ”

[· · · · · ·]

Parvasse looked silently at me without spilling his mind.

“I think we need to talk about something that's been on hold for a long time. ”

I tried not to get excited. Spilling anger is enough as a dream.

Unchangeable Feud. Parvash is mine and I can't do anything to hurt me. And you can't lie to me.

But it is possible to answer only some of my questions in truth. My magic that captured him in his possession was rough and cruel. I didn't have the skills to anticipate the number of cases and block them at that time. In the first place, the contract of sovereignty itself was not done in the realm of consciousness.

I speak of my speculation. The savior of Silver Rim broke any fragments from my shimmer. The question is, isn't that what Parvasse did?

Then Parvash's answer came back so gladly.

[That's right, Min Joon. It was the safeguard I planted.]

I was so overwhelmed that I almost got angry. Push it hard. Go back inside again. Parvash can't hurt me. His actions cannot be mixed with malice or hostility toward me.

I barely kept my mouth shut.

“My question is two. Why did you do that? And why didn't you tell me the truth? ”

Parvasse faces towards me the eyes of an incomprehensible plastic.

[Do you remember when I was first summoned to this world, Min Joon?]

“Yeah, how can I forget? ”

[You initially mistaken me for a robot in a fictional story. After that, I was embarrassed by my reaction, but I was very pleased as time went by.]

“ · · · · · · ”

[I think the four pure aspirations that summoned me through the channel are probably like this. I want to be on your side, 100% trustworthy, only something that exists for you.]

100% Confidence. But I'm not sure if that's possible anymore. Even though I know betrayal is impossible with my head.

[If I were to summon him, it would be a coincidence. You possessed me with a mental totem. And I was happy with a pure smile. Because my wish is fulfilled. But, Min Joon.]

He picked a horse for a while.

[Have you ever thought about it from my perspective? What was I thinking right after I was summoned to this world?]

“ · · · · · ·. ”

Farvasch looked down at the robot toy he was carrying.

[As soon as I was called into this world, the contract was fulfilled. I still wonder how you succeeded, but as a result, I became yours. I'm not protesting about that, of course. From the moment the magic was completed, my mind was filled with thoughts about how I could protect you. That is still the case now. Emotions and reason don't disappear, but they are drawn in one direction. And even for me to exist, I had to find a way to protect you. I don't have a stable body.]

I nod quietly.

[And Min Joon, do you know what I felt after returning to the first story, understanding the situation that came out and went back into this world?]

“· · · No. ”

Honestly, I've never thought deeply. Parvasse looked me in the eye and said,

[It was a terrible terror.]

“· · · What? ”

[The small patient I have to protect is a young human being. But the Wizard's talents are scary. If someone doesn't give you control, you have to worry about running.]

He was talking.

[But there was no knowledge of magic in this world. Now I know it was because of the power of the Old Testament potion, but I didn't even have a clue at the time.]

His calm thoughts continue to flow into my head.

[Moreover, the seed of the channel left in your chest. 20 years later, the Savior's harvest is scheduled, but there is absolutely no knowledge in your head of how to avoid and stop it. Moreover, as a worst case scenario, this world was a young dimension with no records in academic records. It was impossible to obtain information based on reports of absolute knowledge.]

I understand what you're saying, but...

[Insufficient information was provided in the yard. The danger presented before the human being who summoned me seemed absolute and obvious. I was desperately forced to think of a way to protect you.]

“· · · So you planted that in my mind? ”

[Yes.]

“How did that fragment induce my accident? ”

[Not like mental manipulation, of course. I just wanted to have a habit of being careful and hiding from you. Think about it, Min-jun. You were an eight-year-old. A robot that suddenly talks to a child who doesn't understand everything that's going on yet. There's no way to keep a secret at that age, is there? Your mother, of course, and she was walking around telling that story as soon as it happened at school, remember?]

· · · Yes, so I had a lot of grief about attending school for a while.

[The first time I planted a piece was when I was eight. Do you remember the day you fell in the kitchen because of the flu?]

Oh, yeah. The kitchen I used to live in was outside the house and it was a place where there was no heating. I went out to get something on the day no one was home, and then I fell on the cold tile floor.

On that day, Parvasse cried out in haste before I lost my mind. I'll intervene in the spirit, so let me. I barely said 'I will’ before my vision darkened.

[I moved back into the room while you were out of your mind. The day you first entered the world of your mind, you planted a fragment. Since then, it has been constantly maintained. Ever since that day, you've been less and less talking about me.]

This was a little different from my memory. I remember not telling Parvash's story because of the cold reaction around me. But · · ·,

The truth is that Parvashe used his hand.

[Even if it's a story no one believes, I thought it would be dangerous to keep spilling information like that. Otherwise, I inspired my trust in me and my thinking so that I could learn magic as faithfully as I could. It led me to never give up when it comes to magical learning and survival. For example, if you set up a shield and you have two legs flying, you will be able to regain your mind.]

“ · · · · · ·. ”

[The debris wasn't finished as soon as it was planted. It was the first day I offered to teach you magic. It took me almost a year to teach magic after I was summoned, because it took me a while to prepare. I couldn't teach magic to children who couldn't keep secrets.]

This part was as expected. But...

“You could have told me! ”

He shakes his head.

[At that time, all this was too young for you to understand. After I got older, I was going to tell you a story and get rid of the debris myself.]

I threw my words like I was being sarcastic.

“When in the hell were you too young to tell the truth when you were 23? ”

[· · · frankly, I was scared. Min-jun.]

· · · What?

[The day I first met the Savior of Silence. I found out that the dragon was dead and even thought about retrieving the fragments.]

He was talking.

[But I was suspended because I thought that you could give up everything you lost in life. In fact, you have that tendency. I changed my mind when I saw you with extreme authority. Even though there are still so many channels in the world and the threat of xenophobia remains, you feel helpless. At least I didn't stop training because I planted some debris. I think so.]

“ · · · · · ·. ”

[You are still at an age when thinking is flexible and values can change. The moment the debris I planted was gone, the moment the induction medium that led your actions was gone, I was afraid of how you would change. I was so overwhelmed by emotions that I was afraid I'd risk your life for something more important. But · · ·,]

He nodded and said,

[I don't worry about that anymore.]

Yeah, things changed a little bit.

But being reasonably convincing does not always follow emotions. I was silent for a moment without saying a word. The stinging static heavily sat down on the table.

I opened my mouth while I thought about it for a moment.

“Honestly, Parvasse. ”

[Hmm?]

“It's unpleasant. You can't feel good. ”

[I understand.]

“At least you should have told me when I was able to do the right thing. ”

[· · · · · ·]

“I can't touch the royal contract I made back then. I just have to make a commitment. ”

This agreement may not come now to amend or renew it. It is not magic made through a proper contract like any other magic contract. Different case. I have to destroy it and then recreate it.

And even if it was temporary, I didn't want to risk breaking the contract.

I advise you. Despite the doubts I have now confirmed, do I need Parvash?

The answer came back easily. Yeah, I need him.

“I understand your intentions. There's also the part where the little one worried about me. But I can't shake the thought that you should tell me the truth later. ”

[· · · yeah.]

“I understand that your actions were inevitable, but, frankly, it's a bit complicated. So at least I have to make an appointment here. Don't ever leave anything strange in my mind like that again. And I don't want you to control the information just by telling me part of the truth. ”

[Roger that, Min-jun.]

I understand his intentions. But it can't be handed over for nothing.

Huw, I swiped down my face with a big breath. I'm too tired.

At the last moment, I could not do it and swallowed it. “If something like this happens again," I wanted to run away because my head got complicated. I put off thinking for a while. I think the direction of what to do in the future should be given more time.

“Let's get this thought sorted out and talk about it again. ”

[Yes, I got it.]

“There's one more thing I need to see right now. ”

[What is it?]

“The piece that I planted in my shimmer, it must have been extinct. Isn't that right?”

[Yes, it must be.]

“But I keep seeing strange scenes in my dreams these days. ”

I just explained to Parvash what the dreamer said. The existence of a dream that was utterly different from my usual consciousness. The shell borrowed the appearance of Parvasse, but the words and actions were completely different.

Parvasse, who heard me, thought for a moment and said to me,

[Something like black smoke was hovering around the shape?]

“That's right.”

That's what I cared about. Perhaps Parvasse is speculating in a direction similar to mine.

[In this situation, there is only one association with that word.]

The memory Yodmo took from me. Nine days of memory that he gave back to me without digestion, without interpretation. It clearly looked like black smoke when digested.

“Guess that memory is affecting me, huh? ”

[Yeah, there's nothing to pick up but that.]

“It's so suspicious. It was like he was trying to force me into a consciousness. But I don't usually think about it at all. Even if it's an unconscious idea, the situation is too blatant. And the way that's revealed. ”

Parvasse nods.

[But that anonymous memory has always been with you, Min Joon. Why is it suddenly affecting you now?]

There are probably two possibilities.

“That memory may be deeply related to my plans for the future, or it may be because Yodmo passed it on to me rather than digesting a part of it. ”

It was originally said to be a small, extremely compressed decision of memory. Because Yodmo gave it back to me after some digestion, the envelope of the hard, iron-walled crystal may have been somewhat cured and weakened. And the memory of being angry with black smoke affects my mind little by little.

[I remember not interpreting Yodmo, it affects you · ·, D.]

Extremely steamy.
