Egret

‘Dreams? Or... hallucinations. ’

He tried calmly to understand the situation. The reason for his sudden return to his former life was the fact that this was not a reality.

When Igrett was silent, your presence around him sent a worrying look.

Are you sick from sleeping in the cold?

… I don't think it hurts. It looks a little different than usual.

The Fire Spirit Kani, who took the appearance of a girl a little taller than him, worries about his forehead. Rooney, who was standing with his arms crossed, threw as if he were an adult male, not a blue wolf.

In that gap, a yellow-headed boy twitched his arms.

Hehe. Thank God! Even if it was a little late, Uni would explode like an active volcano... Ueh!

Then! You can freeze Igrett to death. What?!

"Argh! Aah! (No! That's not it!)

Pinching a ball at Uni was no different than recently.

However, they were all materialized to human size. It was only later that your spirits began to diminish like fairies the size of their fingers.

This is why the four at this time were like a man without honor, except for the jewels and wings on his forehead.

Faced with the past of the spirits in memory, Igrett became a complex heart. He double-checked the perimeter.

The background seemed to be winter, and the place seemed to be at the foot of the mountain. At this time, Igrett was a wanderer.

It was his routine to wander around here without any goal, just as he had since I was born, not knowing the size of his power.

Then, obviously, his life changed greatly due to one incident and encounter.

‘That was probably about this time. ’

He slowly revisited his memory of the past. Eighteen years old, snowy hillside, sleeps on the road, and freezes to death on a very cold winter day.

Uh?

Then he let Tony go with his ears bent.

"There's someone nearby.

“People?”

Yes. But I must have been hurt. The wound isn't deep, but he's bleeding a lot. It's cold, and if you just leave it, you'll be breathing inside today.

Snowy winter forests were rare. However, he wandered through the snowfields wounded, so he was suspicious. But Igrett of a young day helped him without any doubt.

Clearly, this good deed was the starting point for pushing oneself to the end.

However, before he made any determination, his body moved freely.

“Uni, ask him for guidance. ”

I realized that I could not change the past after speaking like I was possessed. As if he had become an actor in the theatre, he was reinventing his past actions.

Igrett, speaking and moving now, was himself, but not himself.

Just like the video was playing, or like a doll with a thread, it was the past itself that was moving automatically regardless of his will.

On a young day, Igrett ran in the direction led by the green wind.

A man with a sword wound on his shoulder collapsed, as Uni told him, at the place where he arrived with a snow field that fell to his knees.

“! ”

Igrett raised the fallen man and sat him down. A man in pain coughs and opens his dry lips.

“Trying... to... live. ”

“I can help you. There is no minga nearby, so let it melt from here. ”

Suddenly, I lost my body temperature, so I started to tremble less and sought help. Igrett uses the power of fire to convey warmth without hesitation.

Hueung

A warm green breeze melted and cozy wrapped around the eyes. It wasn't the winter wind that hit me so hard that I could meet you in the late spring.

As the cold breeze blowing like a miracle in the middle of winter swept past the black brown hair, the man barely opened his eyes and murmured.

“Cher, heaven...? ”

“No. Rest assured that you are not dead. ”

Whether he actually died or came to heaven and lived with the help of God, he was no longer able to endure. The wounded man finally passed out consciously.

I couldn't just leave a fainted person, so Greg looked at his wounds once.

I didn't have a clean cloth to cover my wounds. But these are the things that will replace it. There were as many as there were.

Fruits emanating unusual aromas from the trunk of the shroud that rose from the ground were opened. In addition, grasses with good medicinal properties for wounds grew up in the harsh land of winter as miracles.

Some of the grown plants turned into tough leaves.

Igrett sorted out each of the injured good fruits and herbs.

Some of them were juiced and mixed with clean water and sprinkled on a man's wound. It was fortunate that the patient was unwilling to feel pain. The rest was ground to powder and used.

I then tied the affected person up with a tough leaf.

Even though I don't know about medicine, if it was the power of Tony, the Earth's Spirit King, I could easily defeat the wounds on my wings.

"Greg, this man is noble.

Uni snuck around and told me what to do with a man's head.

He was now a young man who had just given up twenty years. The clothes he was wearing were usually expensive, even though they were so dirty because he was injured and struggling.

Noble? Isn't that the highest position among humans? Why are you alone in this place?

“Well, there must be a story. ”

He is a noble once ~.

Uni gradually informed Igret of the information the wind had brought.

He must be the son of the lord who takes care of the small territory beneath this mountain. The nobility is not in a very high position, but rather the nobility... The land is small and does not have the greed to build wealth.

Is that what happened because I don't have the money?

"Ah! I've heard of it." Innocent, innocent! ’

Uni glances at Kani and Tony, who are pounding. But he did not say anything wrong, so he put his finger on his lips and sighed.

"Tony, do you know what you're saying? Well, not necessarily in that sense. Nobles with no money and no power are the only ones targeted.

?

Together with puzzling Tony, Igrett, who was only a teenager, gave him a curious look. Uni moves his wings and rises into the air and releases the story with a gesture of hand.

"There was a lord who lived in a small, barren land, satisfied with his position without greed. The lord had a smart son and a very beautiful daughter!

Hee.

"People have lived without great frustration thanks to the poor but compassionate lord who rules the land. Two children grew up helping with their chores, and only a short while ago, they were a reconciled family. But just a few days ago!

I was pushed by the green wind from somewhere and imitated Uni's hand collapsing.

I accidentally found the lord's beautiful daughter and made her see blood by mistake because she rebelled against the High Noble who tried to make her a concubine! The noble, who was angry to the end of his head, framed him for sure! The lord who stepped out to explain this unnecessarily and was pushed by money and power fails to become a sinner who has wrongfully plotted treason in his sleep! Work twist and twist and twist again! The reconciled family was literally rich in bark acid.

?!

That poor boy who barely escaped in the meantime is right there!

Uni lifts his finger and points to the fainted young man. Then he spoke out loud.

A cliché called ―

“How cliché. Uni, how often does this happen in noble societies? ”

Igret, who was born a commoner and abandoned by his parents and lived as a drifter, could not have known about the noble system.

"Yeah, well. Even if it's not very common, it can often be. Do you think there's a lot of fairy tales about this? Of course it's a fairy tale book. It ends in a happy ending, but reality is different.

“... I didn't know. They're living their own hard lives. ”

Seeing Igrett staring at an unnamed young man with sad eyes, I felt like Uni had somehow destroyed the conception.

Eighteen wasn't that young, but their contractor didn't feel too naive.

Igrett set a campfire on a snowy floor, leaving Uni to seriously think about whether to protect it or break the Warehouse Window before it gets hurt in a harsh world.

Bloop

Unlike the warmth of the wind, hot heat spread to the surrounding area.

If I hadn't seen it, I would have known the story, but I couldn't just leave a wounded and fallen man in a cold snow field.

He was a drifter anyway.

Nothing is wrong with slowing down a journey without a purpose. Igrett sits on his furry ass in front of a bonfire and waits until the fallen man wakes up.

The stranger opened his eyes at dawn the next day.

In a world of blue bites before the darkness of dawn had gone away, the man woke up from his furious sleep by grasping the breasts that were suffocated by nightmares.

Found a wound wrapped in broad leaves instead of bandages, he looked around with a stubborn expression.

“Father?... Hannah? ”

Only after calling out the names of his father and sister did the man realize that the situation he was in was not a dream. And at the same time I questioned.

“I……. He's dead after all. ”

It was a mountain covered with snow all around, and the only place he lay was a warm grass field. In front of him, I saw a bonfire burning alone without firewood. A stubborn man, stunned by the unbelievable sight, stood up in the spotlight by the voice coming from behind him.

“You're awake. But don't push too hard. The wounds are pretty big. ”

“... Who! ”

“Ah.”

After revealing himself in the darkness, the man slightly depressed his cautious expression. Yellow or brown hair was the most common color around. Moreover, it does not look young or intimidating.

But immediately he took a deep breath.

“I don't think so. ”

Next to the boy were four beings with different coloured jewels on their foreheads.

Appearance resembles that of a human, but a small beam of light scattered around each movement with wings on its back tells us who they are.

‘Spirit? Is that a different attribute too?! ’

A man's eyes flashed.

I couldn't believe it. I can't believe you're the only spirit I've ever seen in a book!

Even the short vision of a noble young man who ruled a small rural territory showed that this was an enormous situation beyond the 'normal’ category.
