I haven't had a dream in a long time because my brother's problem was solved and I lost my mind.

It's a dream from a previous life.

When I was still Dean-Nosferatu.

When I was teaching my kids how to study at that old castle...

─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─

"Move aside!!

"Lyle, are you still here?"

"Ugh!

Lyle-Carmain, eight, nodded with a laugh.

Here, in the deepest part of the ancient castle. It's a classroom for kids.

The villagers jokingly call it "The Throne Room."

Sure, I have a chair that looks like it. Some generations ago, a villager made me a joke. It's getting a lot worse, but I repair it every 15 years and use it.

There's a writing board rolling over the floor.

Until just now, the children of the village were practicing letters and calculating problems.

In the morning, in this ancient castle, children between the ages of four and thirteen come and study. It's more or less before sundown to go home.

Sounds good when it comes to classrooms, but about half of them are babysitters.

I always take care of the little one while I let the big one study.

You can't teach a four-year-old to study in the first place.

I've been here for over a hundred years, but I've been trying to study decently since that age is about Remilia. Not at all.

"So, why are you here? Lyle."

"Tell me Ben Kee, get out of the way!!

"It's too late today. Tomorrow."

"Oh no!

"... you know"

Lyle is the only son of Dick and Gerda.

It's a tiny one for this age, and I prefer studying to exercising.

I just don't remember things very well.

Looking at the writing board that Lyle wrote...... oh, that's a lot of grammatical and computational mistakes.

That's why Lyle is here.

I'm telling you to calm down and write some more.

"Look out, Lyle"

"It's dark! Shit! Shit!

You heard the bell ringing in the evening.

"I heard you. Shit! Shit!

"So what are you supposed to do?

"Teaching you to study!

"Chi Chi! I'm telling you to go home! It's gonna be dark!?

"Mountain roads around here don't show demons, so they're good!

"That's because me and the villagers are getting rid of it regularly."

"Thank you! Shit! Shit!

"Thank you so much, just go home. I'll send you."

"Uh."

"Kah-ah!

"I want to! I want to go around my head!

And you're laughing, aren't you?

Totally, really, I don't know what a human is.

I've been nostalgic for 'monsters (nosferatu)' like me, laughing.

He's been alive for nearly 200 years, but human ecology is still unknown.

"By and large, why do you want to study so much?

'Cause I'm behind everyone else.'

"You're not competing for anything else, are you?

"Ugh. Because."

Lyle's cheek (cheek) turns red.

Kneel down and start poking at the writing board.

"What's wrong with Remilia's writing board!?

"No! I don't like Remilia!

"Huh?"

"It doesn't matter what Remilia said about 'I like smart people'! It doesn't matter what I said about wanting to be the village chief's wife! Because there isn't!!

"I see you want to marry Remilia!

"Stop -!

Pokopokopokopoko.

Don't slap me. It doesn't hurt.

So don't beat me...... 'cause don't cry while beating me.

... Damn.

"It's too late today, so go home. This is a decision."

"... ugh"

"Instead, come tomorrow morning, half an hour early"

Lyle, uh, looked at me.

Tears have stopped at some point. He's a cash guy.

"Tell Dick and Gerda I asked for help cleaning. I'll teach you how to study before the other kids arrive."

"... mada-do"

"It's just. Remilia is extraordinarily good at what I taught her. Quite a struggle to make him fall in love...... Huh!? So don't kick it!

... That happened too.

It's late, I'll drive you to the foot of the mountain, and then...

"Oh yes! Ma-do!!

"I told you half an hour ago!? Why come right after dawn!!

I don't really know about humans.

─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─

"I have decided to marry Lyle."

Remilia came to make such a report a few years after that.

By the way, her declaration of marriage knocked the men of the village into the abyss of despair.

Because she was such a waste of a beautiful girl in a rural village, Remilia was.

"So what is your magic for commemorative restraints?" My Lord ""

"Why does that happen!? What are you gonna use it for?"

"It's okay! I won't use it other than Lyle!

"What are you gonna do to my newlywed husband?"

"... because you're Lyle."

I wonder.

You're the only kid in the village who likes him, aren't you?

"Lyle is cool, hard-working, responsible, and very honest! There can't be any girl who doesn't like that Lyle!!

"I wonder"

"... please correct me. My Road."

"... well, I think you two look good for now"

"After all, 'My Lord (My Lord)' has eyes to see!

"Stop pointing your fingertips at me. Get ready for the chant. That's blackmail."

"'Cause the only way I know how awesome Lyle is is with My Lord."

"I know he was working hard to make you like him."

"Right."

"But, you know, I've always liked Lyle, so why did you put all kinds of conditions on it? Be village chief or be the best magician in the village."

"Huh? 'Cause isn't Lyle cute trying honestly?

"... you're scared of a human woman"

"When we get married, we plan to have our children strive to do a lot"

"That's enough."

"If Lyle falls ill, thank you"

"Don't make it a prerequisite to rely on me before marriage!

I can't help it.

I kept Remilia waiting and brought the herbs from the warehouse.

"This is the guy who fried the roots of Hermes grass, which helps nourish him. Use up to once a day."

"I love 'My Lord (My Lord)'!"

"Yes, sir."

"Thank you, Lyle and I are going to give you a present"

"A gift?"

"Lyle is about My Road, I love it"

"Apparently."

"Of course I love it, too. That means the # 1 and # 2" My Road Lover Rankings "in" Village of Feela "are getting married. What do you think will happen?

"I don't know."

"Oh my God, you have a child who likes My Lord the most in the world and will be My Lord's daughter-in-law!

"Don't be impotent!

"Why not?

'Cause you guys, you're gonna die before I do.

"... is that why you've always been alone?

"Even when your parents died, I don't know, because they were pretty tough. What would happen if this were my wife"

"It's okay!

"What?"

"Me and Lyle are going to make a lot of kids."

Remilia laughing lightly.

"Then maybe one could become immortal and have a child who could stay with his master (Lord) all the time."

"What are the odds?"

"Look at that. Me, good luck!

"Well, make sure Lyle doesn't die. And..."

I put a stone in Remilia's palm.

I was the one who sharpened the Rapiris Stone, which has the effect of accumulating magic.

Finding a guy with high purity was pretty tough.

"It's a wedding celebration. Be happy. Remilia."

"Ha! 'My Lord (My Lord)'!"

─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─

"Ha... ha... my lord..."

"It's okay, Alice. You're not gonna die."

Then further, a few years later.

This is in the old castle, my own room.

Lyle and Remilia's daughter, Alice, are lying in bed.

Around this time, there was an epidemic of Death Tattoo Disease.

The number of deaths in the Wang capital continued to increase.

So I told the villagers not to go to the Wang capital or the villages nearby, but I was alarmed. The guy coming from the other side couldn't be stopped. With a preaching order or a messenger?

There are several infected people in the village.

Those with mild symptoms are put to sleep in the "Throne Room" in the back.

But Alice still hasn't lost her fever.

The 'Death Tattoo' that emerges when infected does not disappear either. That's why I'm so tight and watching.

The customer was treated.

I give Alice my Magic Blood, and she keeps using the power of Purification.

I've crossed the line. Alice should be helpful.

And then it's just a matter of time...... damn. You're repeating the same word over and over again, I am.

You've been alive for nearly 200 years, do you always think the same at times like this? You don't grow up.

"Hey...... My Road"

"Go to sleep. Alice."

"Why, does it seem painful?

"... Huh?

"My Lord is immortal, isn't he? But ever since Alice was dying, My Lord seems to suffer a lot. Why...?

"... I don't like this kind of thing"

"... like this?

"I'm really not used to people dying young. Looks like you're cheating on yourself not dying. That's all."

"Yes... what"

And, of course, Alice in the bed hit a turnaround.

Keep your eyes wide open and stare at me.

"Bye, Alice, good luck"

"Oh, that's intentional. The purification is progressing, so it will be easier in a little while. Hang in there."

"If you hang in there, will you broom?

"Nice."

"Well, when you grow up, be my Lord's daughter-in-law"

"Yes, sir."

"... By My Road"

"Oh my God, all of a sudden"

"No reply to the maiden's confession."

"That's what I'll ask you when you're feeling better."

"By the way, your daughter-in-law means that Alice will be 'Alice-Nosferatu' and will be with Mylord for the rest of her life"

"... when you grow up, I'll think about it"

"... mylord, you didn't tell everyone that?

"You frighten me."

"Don't you think I'll forget when I grow up?

"Don't read the mind of 'The Immortal (Lord of =) Mage (Nosferatu)'"

"You think..."

"Me and the humans don't have the same time to flow. I'm not going to let you take responsibility for the future."

"Mm-hmm. Then, battle"

"Competition?"

"Alice will always remember this feeling when she grows up. So if you don't forget, make me your daughter-in-law."

"Fine, but come on. If that happens, who's going to succeed Lyle?"

"Your mother's stomach has both of you, so it's okay."

"Lyle uses' Hermes Grass' too much..."

"I'm still young, I'm fine."

"Don't you say that. And don't let the kids say,"

"We're open around there."

"Okay, okay. Go to sleep now."

"... yeah"

When she gave him her head, Alice closed her eyes honestly.

This was a while before I died.

And then... I don't know what happened to Lyle, Remilia, and Alice.

You don't know...

But...

Za, za.

I heard a strange noise.

Sounds like scratching cobblestones with your nails.

From beyond, I hear a faint voice. What... this.

Whose memory is this?

"I... with this hand... my own family... my lord (My Lord)..."

"... 'My Lord' is... 'See you later'... so I'm sure... one day"

"... you are... our... wish..."

"-The brave man. I'll let you go."

"-It's okay. -If it's okay, I know."

"--No matter how long I've had, I'm waiting, so..."

"One day again..."

Bump.

"... that?

I noticed I was in the baron's own bed.

... Dream, you were dreaming. Far back in the day......

I heard voices at the end. Lyle and Remilia, and Alice.

One, there was also a mix of unknown human voices.

It's not my memory. Probably something that's happened in the last 200 years.

What the Lyles were talking about in the meantime......?

So you've been telling me that... who?

I don't know.

I don't know why I was reincarnated in the first place. I can't help thinking about it.

But... Lyle's guy... you cared about killing me.

If that was actually his voice, what did the Lyles do after my death...?

"What's up? Yuki."

"... old... no, I had a strange dream"

"Please let me know. Yuki."

"More than that, Martha, why are you in my room?

"Tomorrow, we're leaving for Wang Du, right? I have a lot to do before that, so I thought you were going to wake me up early."

Yes, it was.

In the end, Brother Zeros abstained from the Magic Guild exam.

Instead, I went to Wangdu to join the guild's educational institution.

"Thanks, Martha. I'm gonna wake up."

"What more dreams were you having than that?

"... I don't remember"

It's bad for Martha, but let's just say that.

"Too bad."

"Why not?"

"By analyzing my dreams, I thought I'd give you a clue to serve Yuki better."

"I don't mind any more. Sorry, help me get dressed."

"Yes, Yuki."

Well.

From now on, I will be studying "Ancient Sorcery" in the "Sorcery Guild" of Wangdu.

So... I wish I could get word of Lyle and the others.

Be careful who you are and be prepared to disappear at any time.

When you die and disappear... you cry, man.

Honestly, just so that I feel like I'm missing and clean up.

"Well, let's go."

"Yes, Yuki."

That's how I left the mansion.

It is tomorrow that we leave for the King's Capital. By the end of the day, let's do what we can.
