‘..Why are you doing this..’

My mind has already recovered, but my body does not move.

Has your body not woken up yet?

Because of what happened before, I lost consciousness and when I wake up, I feel a little nervous.

I wonder if several years have passed since then.

Therefore, when I woke up, I immediately tried to find out what was going on outside.

It failed for unexpected reasons.

‘I can’t hear any sound… I can’t smell…’

Not being able to feel all the five senses that humans have.

A situation where only thinking is possible.

I felt like sighing, but I soon regained my composure.

If all you can do is think anyway.

Let’s make the most of it for now.

I recalled my last memory with him.

When facing the Orc Lord while using the dragon’s mana circuit.

I didn’t feel particularly afraid.

Rather than saying that the opponent is weak.

It seemed as if he had completely forgotten the feeling of fear.

And where that fear should have been, it was replaced by a fighting spirit.

My mind was filled with the need to fight and kill the enemy in front of me.

This was also revealed in actual actions.

When the Orc Lord’s massive feet fall from overhead.

I was able to completely immerse myself in the fight.

What do you think is the most important thing in a fight?

technology?

strength?

equipment?

All of this is correct.

These are things that can be replenished to some extent afterward.

On the contrary, like gender in this world.

Innate talent.

Immersion is the ability to let go of distracting thoughts and focus on just one thing.

It cannot be compensated for later.

It is a talent that is different from gender.

As I said earlier, I was able to immerse myself in it.

At the same time immersion began.

It felt like time in the world passed slowly.

It fell slowly, like ants moving on an oak road that was obviously falling quickly.

As a result, we were able to prepare sufficiently.

When you first fall on your feet, just block.

From the second time, it was accompanied by an attack.

How many times has that action been done?

The Orc Lord sensed something strange.

Like a tree eaten by a beaver.

The Orc Lord’s feet had become so swollen that their shape was unrecognizable.

When the Orc Lord’s head bowed.

The weakness of all living things.

The eye was completely destroyed.

But the problem is…

‘.. Then…?’

The memory stopped there.

Although I am alive now because I am immortal.

I didn’t know what happened next.

Although I suddenly lost consciousness.

Since I wasn’t properly attacked, I could understand why.

‘Is it correct to say it’s overload?’

My body could not cope with the overflowing mana.

Because of that, I lost my mind.

It would be appropriate to look at it that way.

This is the overload that Gloriana has repeatedly warned us about.

‘.. I must have made you worry a lot..’

When I wake up, I have to apologize first.

Organize everything you remember.

I got up and decided on what to do, but my five senses seemed to have no intention of returning.

Moreover, since you are not dreaming, you have to spend your time just thinking.

‘.. I should try writing a novel in my head.’

Since there is nothing to do, all kinds of thoughts start to come to mind.

Writing a novel…

There are many novels I have read, but does anyone write novels?

If you can write a novel just because you read a lot of novels, you are a writer.

‘Then now… huh…?’

While I was smiling to myself and looking around to see if I could think of anything else.

It felt stuffy.

It felt like something heavy was sitting on top of me.

My five senses began to return along with a sudden sense of foreignness.

As you can see from a moment ago.

The first five senses that came back was none other than touch.

When I couldn’t feel it properly, I felt like someone was on top of me.

As it became clearer, it felt like I was lying down rather than climbing on it.

There are few people who could do something like this to me who has lost his mind.

If I think about it briefly, there are about six people.

The sense of smell that came back from a situation where I couldn’t tell who it was.

I was even more embarrassed by that.

It was a familiar scent, but I couldn’t remember exactly who it was.

‘.. Was there someone who forgot..?’

When I found someone lying face down at the last hour of returning.

I couldn’t stop my body from shaking.

‘.. Ann..?’

When I saw her sleeping, I felt many thoughts.

About what I forgot during vacation.

About how we got here.

I’m sorry I forgot.

I also wondered how an ordinary maid could return here.

‘How can I come back… wait a minute…’

My memory went back to the first day of vacation.

Apparently, they went back together carrying the baggage that Anne and Bea had fought with…?

We decided to go back together too…?

‘…’

The feeling of touch that had fully returned revealed that cold sweat was running down my spine.

How Anne is at the Academy.

It was a natural fact.

Because I never went out in the first place.

It was clearly my mistake.

And along with that, another new question arises.

Aside from Anne… who is that girl standing next to her?

As I was regaining my senses, the girl suddenly woke up.

A girl with hair that looks like a combination of my golden hair color and Gloriana’s brown hair color.

The girl looked at me blankly for a moment, then saw that my eyes were open and ran towards me.

“Daddy!!!”

‘… yes..?’

*

“Hehe.”

“…?”

The girl who called me daddy is sitting on my lap and leaning back.

I couldn’t even come to my senses because of the daughter I had given birth to, even though I hadn’t even had a chance to go through with it yet.

As if unaware of my feelings, the excited girl pulled my arm and made herself into a hug.

I wondered what was so good about it, so he pressed his cheek against my arm, then lifted his head and smiled brightly.

“Daddy!”

“.. Huh..?”

“Mari. Master, please come down instead of sitting on my lap.”

I was blown away by the call of father once again.

Anne caught it and put it back to its original state.

He put some refreshments and a teapot on a tray and placed them on the table.

He skillfully poured an appropriate amount into the teacup.

“I hate it!!”

“.. Then there is no snack today.”

“.. Okay..”

When he waved refreshments in front of his eyes to tempt her, Marie pulled him to another chair next to her.

He sits down on the chair that was pulled right next to me and starts eating refreshments with a happy expression.

“.. Ann.. who is this?”

“Well… do you remember that dragon?”

“Dragon?”

Come to think of it.

Anne wasn’t the only one who had forgotten.

I had even forgotten about it for even longer than that.

A dragon that I brought with me upon returning from the city of dragons, Ljubljana.

That dragon is already a polymorph…

“The time when a dragon polymorphs is usually 20 years after birth, but it is presumed that it happened much earlier, perhaps because it often saw humans while living here.”

As I was looking at Mari, who was eating refreshments while saying ‘Omnyomnyom’, our eyes met.

With bulging eyes, he took a bite of the refreshment in his hand and smiled.

Anne used the handkerchief she had brought along to wipe away the crumbs of the tea from around her mouth.

“Uvvvbbb..”

After skillfully brushing away the crumbs like someone who has already done it dozens of times.

He gave me a troubled look.

“Is it okay for Marie to continue to stay in the dormitory?”

“Uh… I told you there was a dragon…”

“You didn’t say that polymorphing is possible yet.”

“That’s right.”

“Besides… if other cadets see Mari… strange rumors might spread.”

We exchanged words quietly, trying not to let Marie hear us.

Before the vacation, I felt a little more at ease as I looked like I always did.

I thought you would be sad about forgetting about her for over a month.

Of course, I will hand over an apology after handling the matter related to Mari.

If you wish, you can also receive a suitable reward.

I nodded and tried to get up, but Anne caught me.

I looked up in confusion as she had no intention of interfering with my actions.

“By the way, young master. Don’t we have something to say?”

“.. Yes. But after finishing Marie’s work…”

I looked at Marie to change the subject.

I fell asleep soon after eating the refreshments and feeling full.

Anne’s ominous smile grew even deeper.

“Marie is sleeping right now anyway… Wouldn’t it be better to finish it quickly now that no one else is around? Do.Ryeon?”

“Well.. okay.. is there something you want?”

“Of course, right? Then please excuse me.”

Contrary to how Marie sat on my lap earlier.

They sat looking at me, their stomachs touching each other.

When I pull my head back a little, Anne’s arms wrap around my neck as if telling me not to run away.

Her moderately swollen heart touches my chest and crushes it.

Her behavior was far from her status as a maid.

He looks at me with his eyes slightly averted and whet his appetite.

“.. Can I..?”

A word with a double meaning.

I swallowed the saliva that had gathered in my mouth without realizing it.

After those words, my eyes kept falling on her cherry-like lips.

When viewed objectively.

Anne is quite a beauty.

If you were born on Earth, you could debut right away without practice even if you couldn’t sing in a street casting.

Currently, she is 25, ten years older than me, and it is a time when women are at their most beautiful.

Although it is rude to compare women.

In particular, Anne’s charm was the maturity that other women, including Bea and Agnes, lacked.

To put it simply:

It’s like an older sister position rather than a childhood friend.

“.. Master..?”

“Ah..”

Come to think of it, I didn’t answer Ann’s question.

Well… there’s only one answer I’ll give anyway.

“Yes.”

He rushed at me as if he had been waiting for just those words.

The sunset light came in outside the window and illuminated us.

It’s been a while since I kissed Anne.

It tasted like sour black tea.
