CH 104

: It's getting dark (2)

Rebecca, who was suffering from anxiety, suddenly smiled brightly and greeted Jamie.

The Viscount Ballet couldn't help but frown.

She was a daughter who struggled to the point that she could not even eat properly. But seeing him do that as if he ever did, only one thought entered the Viscount's head.

' Rebecca likes Jamie.'

In the eyes of the father, the condition of the daughter could be seen at a glance.

The Viscount also had a history of making several women cry in her former years, so she knew well about the corporal.

The daughter's eyes are the eyes of love. A 10-year-old might say what love is, but why does love need age?

It's also true that it hurts my head.

There is no medicine for the boss disease. If it's the only medicine, it would be love.

'Ummm.'

The Viscount turned to Jamie.

Even a boy who was much more mature than his age seemed to have noticed Rebecca's condition.

That's pretty weird too. If I have to say that I am more mature than my peers, my actual age is 7 years old. He asked me what age was in love, but I wasn't even old enough to know true love.

In a brief silence, Jamie asked the Viscount.

"Sir. Can I talk to Miss Rebecca for a moment?"

"Yes."

The Viscount left the seat without a word.

I don't know what you're talking about, but Jamie seems to know her daughter's condition. If so, Jamie might be able to solve it.

whether that's for good or for bad.

But he couldn't even get involved in that.

'If the kids get along well... .'

Thinking about that, the little boy grinned.

If all goes well, do you want me to get married by arrangement?

If it was a count, they would readily accept it, but they are still children. And I didn't want to think about marriage by arrangement already.

It's not that the situation is sad.

The Viscount thought so and left the room.

* * *

The Viscount was gone, and only the two of them were left.

Jamie pulled up a chair and sat down next to Rebecca.

It was still hard to get up, so Rebecca just turned her head and smiled. Even that seemed difficult because of the cold sweat.

"I heard that suddenly you were not feeling well. Are you okay?"

"Yeah. I think I'm a little bit better."

Then he laughed like an idiot.

In that figure, Jane looked slightly overlaid. Jane was also very ill. Even then, he smiled and said reassuringly, 'I'm fine'.

On a topic that wasn't good.

"I am Confucius."

Rebecca stretched her tail and held out a small hand.

hand. Can't you hold my hand?"

Jamie took her hand without saying a word.

It was hot. It seems that the body temperature has risen a lot as the body temperature rises.

He raised a slight chill and let it flow all over her body.

"It's cool."

"Are you going to live a little?"

"Yeah."

Rebecca nodded slightly.

She tightened her grip on her hand and said:

"I missed Confucius."

"Miss Rebecca."

"I keep thinking of Confucius. Why?"

Jamie had nothing to say.

what to say here I can't accept you. Sorry. I can't do things like love. I don't even have that in my mind.

I can't say that. If it had been a little bigger, it would have been harsh, but it could have left a big scar for the little girl.

Aren't you still suffering so much because of it already?

'However There really is no such thing as love to me.'

Rebecca is the reincarnation of her ex-lover Jane. Although her personality was very different from hers, she certainly cared more than other people.

But it was impossible to have the feelings of the past.

So it was even more sad.

Jamie cleared her mind and opened her mouth.

"I won't see you for a long time."

I do not like it.

The answer came immediately.

Rebecca shook her head as if wondering why she was saying that.

But Jamie was adamant.

"I don't know when we will meet next time."

"I hate that. Don't tell me."

Strength entered Rebecca's hand, which was holding her hand. It's different from before when I gave strength because I was happy.

"Why are you talking to me like that?"

Rebecca asked if she didn't understand, as if she was about to cry.

listen.

Jamie pulled Rebecca's slender arm slightly.

But Rebecca didn't want to hear it, so she closed her eyes and turned her head to the other side.

For a girl who fell in love at a very young age, the situation was very painful.

Jamie was able to change her feelings towards her with mind manipulation, but she didn't want to use magic on her alone.

So it was spoken.

"I will never forget it."

" ."

"Even after many years, I will never forget it. I will always remember."

"Not so ."

Tears run down my cheeks from my big eyes.

"Duck!"

Jamie wiped her tears away.

Rebecca muttered in a low voice, Dump.

"Don't get caught up in the present mind."

"Buried ?"

"It means don't get eaten."

"But Confucius ."

"Stop being sad and be brave. boldly. It's not like I'm not seeing you forever, is it?

Young Rebecca didn't quite understand Jamie's words, but she seemed to know what he was trying to say.

time is a lot

There is no guarantee that the same will be the case back then. It's a fact that we haven't seen each other for a long time anyway.

If you are immersed in your emotions for a moment, the only thing that is difficult is yourself.

When we meet again someday, if we have the same feelings... .

Jamie was saying so.

Rebecca seemed to know what she was feeling now, but it was really sad that she couldn't achieve it.

But there was nothing Jamie could do.

Saying anything more than this will only make her suffer more. I just held her hand and watched her cry quietly.

how much time has passed

A somewhat genuine Rebecca spoke to Jamie with puffy eyes.

"Can I write a letter?"

Sure.

" I'll write you sometime. I have to reply."

Okay.

Appointment.

Rebecca held out her pinky finger in disbelief. It was a childish way indeed, but in reality she was a child.

The two put their little fingers together.

I was only allowed to write letters.

Hehe.

The girl began to laugh at what was so good.

He smiled with a face covered in tears, and he looked so ugly.

Jamie said in a playful voice.

"When I cry and laugh, I get horns on my ass."

"Gee, really?!"

Rebecca was truly a naive child.

* * *

Another day passed.

The formal banquet was over.

The nobles who attended quickly returned to their estates.

The Viscount Ballet family was the last.

"See you next time, brother."

"Come in carefully."

"Go carefully. You go well too."

see you next time!

"Take a rest for three days."

Rebecca and Ash bowed their heads to the Counts.

The Viscount smiled a little and said hello to Jamie and Sarah, who were standing next to the couple.

"Don't expect to be more handsome next time we see you. I hope that Sarah will also become prettier."

Please go in carefully.

"Good-bye."

Jamie and Sarah, who was half-hidden behind her brother, timidly saw him off.

The Viscount pushed her two daughters back to say hello to Jamie and Sarah.

"Should I say hi to you too?"

See you later!

Ashe waved her hand with a youthful face, and Jamie smiled and nodded.

OK. See you next.

"????????????"

Sarah waved her hand.

They played with Sarah while I was here, and they seem to have become quite friendly.

Next was Rebecca.

Although she had recovered a lot of health, she still looked weak as she was still alive.

Still, he smiled and said hello to Jamie.

"See you again someday, Confucius."

If you look at the emphasis on 'someday', it seems that the words you said the night before are still in your heart.

Jamie smiled awkwardly and waved her hand.

"All right, see you next time."

"By ."

Not very close with Rebecca, Sarah hid behind her back again and said hello only with her mouth.

The Viscount family got on the wagon, and the wagon started at the driver's signal.

At that moment, Ash poked his head out the window and shouted, waving his hand vigorously.

"The next time I see you, you will be bigger than you are now! anticipate!

What do you mean to expect?

Jamie just frowned, but this time Rebecca followed her sister out the window.

Even though she couldn't be like her sister, she shouted the best she could.

"Open it, I'll definitely write you a letter!"

Jamie scratched his cheek with a smirk.

"Is my son very popular?"

haha. That's it. When did you possess the two daughters of the Viscount Ballet?"

"Hey, you're obsessed."

Jamie denied it with a bewildered face at her parents' pranks.

'I just did it as usual.'

But what about something so cool?

If there was a sin, it was a sin to be born like this.

Anyway.

When the Viscount's carriage was no longer visible, Earl Wellton said to his son.

"It's been a long day, but now I can focus on you."

"Yes, Father."

Originally, I should have started training in 'Swordsman' from yesterday. However, the banquet was delayed by a day due to a slightly longer banquet.

"You will have to be prepared. It's going to be different from Hamilton's class.

looking forward to it.

"Mom also believes our son will do well."

"Hwa-ting, oppa!"

The day is going down.

So time passed.

It's a new year, and Jamie is eight years old.

* * *

Well. This bread is so crumbly. I think it would be nice to have some milk."

A man in worn out shabby clothes chewed on the dry bread.

On the other hand, the man was very neat.

Her shiny, bright blonde hair was tied together like a horsehair, comparable to a robe with holes in it, tainted with dirt.

How white and clean her skin was, I immediately thought that she was not a nobleman.

What are the wall-colored eyes? The sharp nose is as sharp as a veil.

A man whose clothes and appearance do not match at all.

"You, what are you !"

Standing in front of him, a man with a shaggy beard aimed his hand at it. The blade trembled violently because of tension.

He was the head of the infamous bandit den in this area, and he was a knight and had an expert level.

But in front of that neat-looking blonde man, he felt great fear.

The man mumbled bread and said to the bandit leader.

"What? You're the one who got annoyed by arguing.

"Hey, that's not what I'm asking! You are my servants!"

The bandit leader looked around and shouted.

Bandits over 200 turned into cold corpses and were scattered here and there.

What's even more frightening is that no one was hurt.

"He's funny."

The man threw his bread on the floor.

I was hungry and tried to eat, but I couldn't. There was a drought because the moisture in the mouth did not dry out.

The man got up from his seat.

The bandit leader swallowed dry saliva and raised an aura.

"I will pay the price for killing all my minions!"

I don't know what the opponent is doing, but the bandit leader was also proud of his skills.

I am confident that I will not be defeated if I am not an Archmage.

Since ancient times, a wizard's natural enemy has not been a warrior who deals with Aurors!

The man raised an eyebrow as he looked at the bandit head.

"People always regret their choices."

The air has changed.

It is not a metaphorical expression.

In fact, the density of the space has increased.

Inside, the bandit head couldn't say anything.

Man, Siegfried, lifted his finger.

[Space Magic: Breaking the Soul]

That was the last of the bandit heads.

Siegfried smiled and collected mana.

"I wasted my time with some bastard."

The day is cold.

midwinter. The overcast sky will soon sprinkle heavy snow.

"I wish I could get to Heiss before that."

The 7th Elder of the Magic World of Seldam Kingdom.

Siegfried in space.

His figure flashed and disappeared at the same time.
