Dazar sat up from the bed, screaming, and immediately spoke.
“The followers of Ruben… … You came to see the religious leader? “Did you even dream?”
“It’s a dream. “I guess that’s what they saw.”
“… … .”
Then Dazar stroked his hair with one hand and blinked slowly.
“okay. I did have a dream. The second time she… … This time, more memories… … ah. no. “First of all, more than this.”
Perhaps because his mind was still wandering in a dream, he stopped rambling for some reason and looked directly at me.
The golden eyes that met him were filled with worry.
“Are you okay?”
“… … yes?”
I tilted my head at the words spoken without a purpose.
Then Dazar’s golden eyes looked at my arms, legs, and face and spoke softly.
“Go and ask if anything happened. The guy who said he was going to tea time suddenly came to meet the leader of Ruben’s followers. “What on earth has he been going through?”
“uh… … Mo, I’m fine. “Nothing major happened.”
His concern felt awkward, so I responded by lightly scratching my cheek. Then he began to slowly explain what had happened at the Count Holman’s town house.
“So, I went to see Miya for the second time… … .”
I happened to follow Miya and entered their lair, where I met the cult leader. After explaining it like that, the last sentence ended like this.
“I think it’s a great opportunity for us.”
“… … season?”
Dazar, who had narrowed his eyebrows after hearing the whole story, asked a question.
I nodded.
“yes. Ruben’s followers are like enemies to us. I don’t want this world to end before you find ‘her one’. “I also want to protect Axion from them.”
“okay. yes.”
“So, how about we hit first? Now that I know their lair.”
This was why I said yes when Miya asked me to go with her. Check to see if that is the den of Ruben’s followers, and if so, move immediately.
Although the process was somewhat risky, it would have been difficult to know without taking the risk.
‘If you hit Ruben’s followers first, you can gain a lot.’
First of all, it can eliminate potential threats.
Characters who may be Ruben’s followers, namely Cedric and Elston… … It would be possible to confirm whether this was really Ruben’s follower. If my home base were to be attacked, I wouldn’t be affected.
In addition, it would be possible to save those who were clearly being manipulated. People like Miya and Seria.
and.
“If you get rid of Ruben’s followers, you can also get rid of the suspicion placed on you. Then we can go back to our old relationship with Letsey.”
okay. There was also a reason for this.
Now, Dazar was under suspicion from two major pillars of the empire at the same time. To the two beings, the emperor, who was my childhood friend, and the temple, the foundation of the transcendentals.
“So you’re not doing any more outside activities? “If you try to find ‘her’, you might arouse her suspicions and cause some trouble for ‘her’.”
“… … .”
A silence filled with positivity followed.
Dazar rarely went out in the Empire except for things he had to attend. Even if she can’t find her because she doesn’t have any memories of her, she would still want to find any clues about her.
“Do you know anything? Now that her memories of ‘her she’ are coming back, what if I found out who she was? “When you really need it, you might not be able to find it because of their pressure.”
Then Dazar began chewing his lips. He must have thought that what I said had some truth to it.
It must have been a tempting offer, but why was the response so lukewarm?
Just as I was having a strange thought, Dazar spoke in a calm voice.
“okay. You’re right. “But I’m a little worried.”
“What are you worried about?”
“There were followers of Ruben in the previous world as well. And they really were everywhere. Even though I was born as a transcendent, I don’t know much about them either. “Everything is shrouded in mystery.”
“hmm.”
Dazar had a very serious expression.
“The Transcendents only have a mission to avoid their control and eliminate Ruben. Try not to get caught up as much as possible. Because they really are everywhere.”
“Anywhere… … .”
“okay. “He may be in this mansion right now.”
While saying that, Dazar crossed his arms and frowned.
“That’s why, even when the ‘Chapter of Rest’ opened last time, I was against Scarlett arresting them. I’ve never had a good experience with those guys. In the end, after that day, I got a damn watcher named Moroccanil, and Scarlett and I became suspicious.”
So, in a word.
I don’t really want to get involved with those guys. This is it. Because every time we get entangled, something bad happens.
But this time was a little different.
“You remember that my body is unique, right? “It is a body that is impervious to barriers and magic.”
“Of course I remember.”
“I came to see how they were increasing their followers. There was a fog coming out of a strange stone that seemed to be controlling them.”
“… … !”
Dazar’s eyes widened.
“And I also witnessed people who touched the fog turning into dolls. The followers may not be doing such things of their own volition. “If we make known the existence of the stone and hand it over to the temple, there will be a way to save them somehow.”
I spoke as firmly as I could and looked Dazar in the eye.
“If that’s the case, other transcendental people would be better… … .”
The golden eyes that said that were a little hesitant. When I heard the words ‘other transcendents’, I felt like I could understand the reason for the hesitation.
“Are you sure you don’t have the confidence to become a hero? Because of the sins of a previous life?”
“… … !”
The golden eyes shook greatly.
also. It was something like that.
A transcendent person who handed over the world to Ruben for my lover. Perhaps he was deliberately accepting Scarlett and Temple’s suspicions, thinking they were his sins.
The fact that he was thinking that way was not something I could change in any way. Because he made his own choice and it deserved to be criticized by the world.
but.
“If that’s what you’re thinking, I’m sorry to disturb you, but I need you to stop for a moment.”
I needed Dazar.
Even if he was a renegade who handed over the world to evil in his previous life. For that sin, she loses her memories of her lover and cannot bear to take active action to save her world, even if it is her foolish transcendental who is waiting for her in despair.
“For my son, Axion.”
He looked at Dazar, who had a blank face, and continued speaking.
“And for your daughter, Vanilla.”
Dazar’s eyes fluttered once more.
“Ensuring children can grow up in a safe environment. Isn’t that our parents’ responsibility? “I know you feel guilty, but that doesn’t mean you should neglect raising Vanilla.”
“… … okay.”
Dazar was silent for a moment, then slowly nodded. He washed his face once and straightened his stiff face.
There was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth. The face looks somewhat relieved.
“You’re right. I was such a fool. “Even if I bear my own sins, I must not neglect my work for Vanilla.”
He looked at me blankly and continued speaking.
“Now that I think about it, you look a lot like this.”
“… … yes?”
It was meaningless, but I actually understood it right away. Because the only person Dazar could bring up was ‘her’.
‘Do I have some resemblance between that person and me?’
Come to think of it, I said that a lot of my memories of ‘her’ came back through the dream I had just now. Is that why you are saying this? I don’t think it’s because they resemble each other in appearance, but rather in terms of personality.
While I was blinking and thinking about this, Dazar issued an order to congratulate the guests.
“First, go back to your room and rest. You know it’s late at night right now, right? “Your eyes are completely bloodshot right now.”
“ah… … .”
After hearing that story, I suddenly felt tired. It was only now that I realized that his entire body had been tense up until now.
It was worth it.
Didn’t you go to the den of Ruben’s followers and meet the religious leader? It was clear that I was nervous without even realizing it.
‘I haven’t told you about being Ruben’s guide yet.’
At that time, the leader looked at me and said that. It’s like a starting day or something.
But first, I decided to follow Dazar’s advice and go back to my room. okay. Let’s get some rest.
Because today is not the only day.
“all right. “Then shall we talk tomorrow about what to do next?”
“Uhm. “If you just tell me the location, I think I can solve it.”
“Then don’t I go?”
Dazar tapped my knee with his index finger. His eyes deepened, so it was clear that many thoughts were passing through his mind.
“In order to subdue that place, force must be used. But if you’re together, it’s actually more dangerous. So, the next time you go there again with the daughter of Count Holman, let me know then. “Let’s prepare in advance.”
“hmm. all right.”
Then, should I just wait for Miya’s letter first? I nodded and got up from the bed to leave his room.
Now that I think about it, I woke up Dazar and sat on his bed and talked to him. Even though he was a very possessive man, he wasn’t very nervous.
Just when I was about to get out of bed and leave the room.
“… … thanks.”
A small voice came from behind. It was a voice filled with embarrassment.
As I closed the door and came out, I found myself giggling to myself.
After returning to my room and checking that Axion was sleeping well, I went to sleep and encountered a person in the living room the next morning.
“Hey, that’s it over there.”
Elston, whom I felt like I hadn’t seen in a long time, came to me early in the morning and studied me with a hesitant expression for quite some time.
‘What is that gesture that makes my feet feel numb?’
It was Elston who looked very suspicious.
