202 ◇ The Great Wizard's Dream and Request

Mr. Merlin looks at the glowing butterfly and talks.

"It's not that long. It's like how I went about being an adventurer."

"Huh."

I was surprised.

Famous adventurers are asked in various interviews.

How did you aspire to be an adventurer? and.

The same goes for Mr. Merlin, but in her case nobody knows how it really happened.

Because every time she tells a different story.

The more among the fans, the more those who enjoy her different stories every time, or infer that some of the real episodes of what she's talked about are hidden.

"Don't worry, it's the truth."

"... to me?

She turns a thin grin, then opens her mouth.

"Hey, that's not a big deal. When I was a little girl, I saw spirits."

This is what Mr. Merlin's story was about.

When she was little, she saw the Spirit. The spirits were playing with a variety of magic, including shining butterflies, dancing petals, bouncing sparks, rain falling into the sky, and constantly reshaping stone statues.

Maybe that means something to the spirits, maybe it doesn't.

But Mr. Merlin was distraught, and they looked like they were playing and enjoying themselves.

If you think it sounds like fun, it's something called kids that you want to mix up.

But Mr. Merlin couldn't get him mixed up in the Spirits' play.

When I noticed her, they all disappeared, as if what had happened up to that moment had been a lie.

"It's a simple thing that I've made the magic of every attribute so extreme. When I see the Spirit again one day, I want you to mix it up."

With that said, Mr. Merlin waves his wand.

The play of the Spirit she spoke of became a reality.

To that fantastic sight, I lose my word.

Do you laugh?

"No way."

I was answering aggressively.

I had a childhood dream and was able to handle the magic of the Four Spirit Contractors.

Given the effort, respect is the only way to laugh.

"Hehe, I thought you'd say that. Whatever..."

Somehow, I get it.

"... because I am also a child dreamer."

"Oh, you're right. Unlike me, you weren't afraid to be criticized by others who didn't understand."

"... I don't think you're scared of Mr. Merlin."

"Haha, thanks. Sure, I just don't like being annoying. Because it's unpleasant to be decided by someone else who doesn't even know how to make it happen. But that's not what I want to talk about. You know why I went to Ex's party?

"Because you are a man who knows the Spirit, without going through the 'Temple of the Spirit'?

"That's right. What's the difference between me and them? Depending on the choice, could I also be friends with the Spirit? I couldn't help but notice. Well, I wasn't sure in the end. Besides, we got to second place together. No, I think you got one."

"Really?

"The Spirit prefers interesting humans. It's difficult because this' funny 'is the spiritual standard, but at least it didn't seem to work for a girl who approached me by saying' beautiful 'or something."

An easy-to-understand example is [Lake Brave] Reis.

He initially said he would not use the power of the Spirit. That's how I liked him.

The criteria by which the Spirit chooses people, I'm not sure. Of course, it will depend on the Spirit.

"... maybe this job too?

"Hehe, ask me if I could meet the Spirit if I went to the deepest part. Of course, that's not all."

When she lowered her wand, all miracles ceased.

There's nothing left after that.

"I am, lemme. The purpose was to reunite with the Spirit, but I enjoyed improving my magic. Whatever the trigger, my current buddies like it. Most of my life is supposed to be just a process to accomplish my goals, but it's fun. Is that weird?

"No, I don't think so"

"Right. You can enjoy the process. You can enjoy the effort. Nothing, the time to achieve an end, must not suffer. Wouldn't you?

"... Yes"

"How about you (,,,,,)?"

"Huh?"

"You are an excellent [Black Demon Instructor]. I saw this journey, and I understood how to do it during the Phoenix party. It's easier to understand and flashy to appeal to your fellow amateurs with your shadow efforts than it is to appeal to the amateur of black magic, which makes it an offense for viewers to enjoy. I can't even sense magic behind the screen. To see how Aruba reacted and so on, I guess he was using magic while hiding his magic so his people wouldn't even find out? It's a lot of technology."

……

It was necessary to make my people feel comfortable fighting.

Alba is [a warrior], so the fallacy still works, but if he hadn't hidden it, it would have just been noticed around Lily.

"Effort and patience are different. As a friend, I hope you like black magic and enjoy your journey to becoming a brave man."

I was hardened by Mr. Merlin's words. [M]

Because it was so shocking.

Notice something called her unconsciousness rather than her words.

I love adventurers. I like watching strategy videos, and I love the presence of a brave man.

But have I thought about it? [M] Have you ever thought about it?

I like black magic, what a heartfelt thought.

"Reme?"

Mr. Merlin noticed how I was doing, and he's approaching.

"... I may never have thought about it. Because I didn't want to be a [black demon mentor]. And yet, be a [Black Demon Instructor]. Still, without giving up, I decided to go for the brave... but right. It was so rude to black magic."

"... it's amazing how you worked out that far without passing like it or not."

I'll think about it.

Indeed, black magic support does not overlap with the statue of the brave man I once aspired to.

But I don't hate black magic that contributes to my people's victory. I don't hate it.

Ever since I joined the Demon King Army, I've felt a lot.

Maybe because everyone in my crew admitted it.

With my help, I was able to defeat the adventurers. Because you told me you could win.

I'm sure such black magic...

"Thank you, Mr. Merlin. I must like black magic. Every time it helps my people, I like them more and more. I admired him because he was a brave man who made his people win. Even black magic can make you a brave man, because you've been blessed with the kind of encounter you seem to have."

Now Mr. Merlin looked surprised.

"No, you're not... normally something that seems more dragging though. No, you just didn't recognize it, you already had the answer. Looks like a good new place to work, huh?

"... yeah, that's right"

"Well... I want him to apprentice you too."

"That guy...?

Mr. Merlin nods.

"Oh, the truth is, that's the real deal from here. You realize that, don't you? to the problem of the Ex one."

"... I don't know if it's a problem. There was something bothering me."

It was the same in the hot springs, but occasionally I felt it.

"That's it. That makes the party a little rough."

"It was the participation of the two of us that lacked..."

"Oh, they said they were going to train and didn't participate. I don't mind that, but I do care about the Ex one."

"... to see you fight, I didn't feel particularly unwell though"

"That's professional. I don't get my feet pulled by worries at work. But the problem is deep-rooted. We don't stay in trivial fights."

"... why me?

"Ex was heartbroken by your exit. I guess he was layering with himself somewhere."

The day we met again, he said the same thing.

[Black Demon Instructor] and [Black Brave].

Black magic and shadow spirituality.

[Title (Job)], which is not required, and the contractor of the Spirit, which does not belong to the four Spirits.

You might be able to overlap, and you might think that some people have nothing in common.

I just didn't feel it was a lie that Mr. Ex cared about me.

"Not with me or the rest of us. You're too close. Aerial or phoenix is out of the question. You know, the voices of guys like the protagonists of the world would rather be poisonous. There are people all over the world who are admired and saved by them, but Ex can't."

Look at the good guys, some admire them, some jealous.

Some people get saved and others feel miserable about themselves when it comes to being kind.

Regardless of the other person's good or evil, the way you receive it changes depending on you.

Can't the problems that Mr. Ex has today be solved by his companions and those who are loved by the four main attributes?

In the hot spring, Mr. Ex was about to tell me something.

"Mr. Ex... you're suffering in the process"

It is here that Ms. Merlin revealed her own dreams, which have not been made public, and touched upon the purpose and process.

She smiled sadly at my words.

"Please tell our leader what you think is best. Can I have it?"

The answer is fixed.

"If there's anything I can do, I'll do it. 'Cause I love [the pitch-black brave] too."

She smiled gently for a moment and made a tannic surface shortly afterwards.

"... hey, you think it's me 'too'? Then it's like I care about him."

"Huh."

"Give me a break, who's that?"

Jesus Christ, Mr. Merlin flaunts his shoulder.

Seeing her like that, I blow out of my mind.

"Why laugh?"

"No, he said he was a little jealous. You're close."

"Ah?"

He looked so disgusted.

"... Ha, well. Do me a favor when you get a chance. I'm sure your words will reach that fool."

"Yes."

So I went back to the tent.

When I woke up in the morning, I was surprised that Mr. Fulcus was looking down at me.

"Oh, good morning"

"Good morning."

"... fishing, right? It's okay, I remember."

It's early morning time, so be careful not to wake anyone else up, but call Yosu-kun and then go outside.

What was unexpected was that Mr. Ex also woke up and told me he was coming with him.

"I miss it. My father used to take me there."

He laughs with pleasure. At first glance, he doesn't seem troubled or anything.

But there's a lot of things if you're alive. Adventurers are popular in business, and I know some of the troubles that even I face.

Hide them and we'll challenge the dungeon offense and laugh in front of the fans.

"Eat up"

"Um... Mr. Fulcus, I was hoping you could do the more"

By the way, the catch was good.

Cut it up about where it is and take it back to camp.

That's right. Mr. Fulcus was also relieved that he didn't seem to intend to fish enough to erase the fish from the river.

"When it's gone, I can't eat anymore. It's a loss."

So it seemed.

I'm not surprised that they can catch and eat enough to disappear. Mr. Fulcus could have it.

I plan to conduct a dungeon investigation twice this morning and evening.

"What's up, Leme?

Mr. Ex says as he cheeks a baked fish stabbed in the skewer.

Apparently he was unconsciously looking at him.

"No, I don't know how it tastes."

Oh, it's delicious.

"That's good"

I remember what he told me in the hot springs.

Mr. Ex said after he praised me for being strong in my heart.

- I'm... weak.

There must be something he thinks so himself.

If I can help, I want to do something.

With that in mind, I put breakfast in my stomach.

And the investigation of the original dungeon begins that day as well.
