“I don’t know how many years it’s been since we walked together like this.”

    There is no response from Lexi.

    “Do you remember? If there was nothing else to do, we would hold hands and go out and walk around the lake.”

    “That’s right.”

    “Walk, walk… If I got hit in the eye while walking, I couldn’t even look at it because they would drag me into the forest.”

    “You jumped up and followed me obediently because you said you liked it.”

    “Anyway, Nuker said shit to me. Don’t clean it with semen lake water. When I asked if it was delicious, it jumped out! And do you know what it says?”

    “Why do you ask that─── Ha, what did you say?”

    “Ours is so delicious that I feel bad.”

    “······Crazy guy!”

    Lexi burst into laughter.

    It did. When I think about it, I liked people who smiled.

    “Si.”

    “Why?”

    “Do all Rectalians have the word “rek” in front of their names?”

    “Lek is a castle.”

    “Then your name is Si?”

    “Okay. It’s one letter.”

    “My husband also had lag.”

    “All Rectalians born from the cradle are given the last name Rek. When you return to your parents, you will receive their last name.”

    In other words, Lexi did not visit her biological parents.

    Or it wasn’t there at all.

    “···I didn’t even know this until now.”

    My eyes scan my face.

    “Why did you suddenly become curious about that?”

    “When I thought about it, there were so many things I didn’t know about Shii.”

    Of course, I like this person.

    Everything about this person.

    At the time, I thought I had made a living by roasting beans in the heat of lightning, but now that I think about it, I don’t think so.

    I was right in the past.

    “I was talking nonsense earlier. I’m sorry.”

    “You know.”

    “I know I did something wrong. ···Are you going to keep it in your heart?”

    “Of course, I will keep it for the rest of my life.”

    He responds in a very blunt tone.

    Well, something like that.

    “What do you think? I should put a variety of things in the memory box.”

    I hugged Lexi’s waist and pulled her into my arms.

    Lexi’s stiff hands loosened and her arms naturally wrapped around my waist.

    A slightly angry gaze turns towards me.

    “This is really the last time. If you order more, I’ll turn over their entire table.”

    “···What’s going on?”

    It was a much softened voice.

    Just hearing this makes my heart sink.

    “Overall, everyone’s cooperation is needed. First of all… we need to make sure that Heinrich, who is in the Ogre’s nest, can sit on the throne of Doomheim.”

    “Try to explain.”

    “There is Inoemagyeong 35,000 rubits across the sea. We need to get a million people out of there. You need a strong boat, and you need a power source that can move in places where there is no wind.”

    “Anything else?”

    “During my visit, I need to keep a check on Romaria from having the Hibi Desert. We need to send the Ain in the deep south to the south as quickly as possible. In preparation for war, I have to build a train now, and I have to bring my cute son too.”

    “Ah, Shir said so. Let’s have a child.”

    child?

    “Yes?”

    Lexi looks at me intently.

    As if puzzled.

    “You are no longer Dantalian’s agent, are you?”

    “So?”

    “I will also give birth to your child.”

    “······Is that biologically possible?”

    “We will make it possible.”

    “No, wait…! I don’t have the confidence to be a father yet?!”

    “But don’t you already have Rohan? Are you sure you’re not the trash I think you are?”

    Lexi narrows her eyes and glares at me.

    Those eyes pierced my heart like a dagger and took my breath away.

    It’s not just because of that…

    “Ah, no…! ···Actually, I’m not confident yet.”

    “What?”

    “I don’t know what it means to be a parent… or how to treat a child.”

    “Ha, it’s finally cute now.”

    “Yes?”

    Lexi smiles.

    “When I was young, I took care of the child in the crib with my ex-husband, who was my crib classmate.”

    “Is it poetry?”

    His eyes scan my face, and he tightens my arms.

    Thanks to this, my head was buried in my chest.

    “You idiot. More than 1,000 children have passed through my hands. So, all you have to do is quietly put out the seeds.”

    ─A thousand people?

    You raised over 1,000 people? That lump of scar?

    “Stop being a pervert! And raising kids isn’t easy, right?!”

    “Okay. No. But it’s not that difficult.”

    “How can raising a child not be difficult?!”

    Although I have never raised a child, I know the hardships of those who have raised children.

    ‘Everyone cries out while raising a child!’

    I have never met a single person who said raising a baby was easy.

    “It’s fun.”

    “···Yes?”

    “Because it’s fun, it’s not hard.”

    Lexi’s soft eyes are looking at my face.

    I realized it in those eyes.

    ‘······I see.’

    I’ve been living my life listening to what other people say.

    Raising a child was not something to worry about, but something to be embraced with joy.

    “I’m going to scribble on an egg.”

    “What?”

    “Put a dot and break here.”

    “This bastard says something ominous?!!”

    Taaa!

    I was hit on the back with the force of a volleyball player.

    “Ugh—?!!!”

    It was clear that there was a clear handprint on his back.

    My hands are so numb that it makes my spine tingle. It hurts so much, but it feels good.

    I guess I was a masochist.

    “Are you saying something like that?! Just write somewhere! I’ll write it in the exact same spot on your forehead!!!”

    “No! Maybe the child will wake up and come out after seeing that~?!!!”

    Got kicked by an angry Lexi.

    In that state, I was pinched, bullied, and bitten.

    “Die! die! People are dying! Are you going to die?! Ugh──?!!”

    “Die! I’m telling you to die!”

    “Aaaagh───?!!!”

    Before I knew it, Lexi’s bullying, which had completely overwhelmed me, stopped.

    It was only then that I was unable to calm my rough breathing.

    His eyes narrowed as he looked down at me.

    The eyes got closer, and Lexi kissed me just like that.

    The saliva had a strong familiar smell and taste.

    Gradually, your body begins to heat up.

    My breathing became heavy and my mind became dizzy.

    My body floats like I’m drunk, and I don’t feel gravity.

    Soon, a passionate passion blossomed.

    * * * * * *

    “Take this with you.”

    What Lexi held out to me was a small vial filled with holy blood.

    This is excessive.

    “You don’t need this much.”

    I reluctantly accepted the Precious Blood that was handed to me.

    Only then does Lexi take her hand away from me.

    “This time, don’t be swayed by your emotions and judge. I thought it was work.”

    “Okay.”

    “The only person who can protect you is the white wolf. ···It’s a lot different than before, so be careful what you say and do.”

    It was a strange sound.

    Isabelle has changed? Is it because I got my memories back?

    “Yes? What’s changed?”

    “I don’t know how to explain it. ···You will know when you meet.”

    Although he speaks calmly, his expression is not that bright.

    The feeling of bad mood was stronger. What happened to Isabel?

    “Please explain at least briefly.”

    “···The white wolf is crazy.”

    “Yes?”

    “It is not the anti-Hain ideology that ruined Habstenburg, but the rampage of the White Wolf with the anti-Hain ideology.”

    In other words, the country is being torn apart due to tyranny.

    ‘My memories came back, why?’

    Dantalian’s power gives agents diligence and suppresses all other emotions.

    It is a structure that cannot be overcome. Thoughts may be distorted, but that’s about it.

    “Ask yourself. That’s why Mercurius is helping you.”

    “Shii… I heard you’re not a servant’s stooge?”

    When I playfully poke her, Lexi raises her eyes.

    “Don’t be a damn thing. Mercurius even apologized to me directly.”

    “······.”

    God apologized to man.

    Oh my… I thought it would be nice to forgive.

    Some servants just get straight to the point and look at it.

    “Yes. I’ll go now.”

    The Gestier seen from afar looked fine, at least to me.

    In my opinion.

    “Go quickly. And decide carefully what to do next. Never fail.”

    “Okay.”

    “Yes.”

    Lexi takes a few steps and spreads her wings.

    “Let’s take a look.”

    There was no answer back.

    Lexi took off and flew like a jet toward the South.

    The sound barrier was seen breaking through the speed of sound, but no roar was heard.

    At that speed, Lexi disappeared from my sight in an instant.

    ‘First, we need to find out why Isabelle is unable to make normal judgments.’

    He stuffed the Precious Blood deep into his pocket and walked towards Gestier.

    Gestier arrived like that.

    The first thing I saw was a hanged body.

    It had all peeled off, the scrotum was greatly swollen, and the blood was flowing down to the legs, turning them purple.

    My stomach and face were swollen.

    This is the Four Heavenly Kings phenomenon.

    Maggots fall from the bowed head above the sign that reads ‘Traitor’ hanging around the neck.

    Judging by the degree of decomposition and the presence of pupae around it, it must have been dead for 5 to 6 days.

    ‘What on earth is this crazy?!’

    If you kill him, it’s right to get off.

    The death penalty and desecration of the deceased are completely different areas.

    Don’t you know that Yunaira’s one-liners can only have negative effects in Drekkar?

    “···Look here.”

    A man approaches me vaguely.

    The eyes of those around me were focused on me, and the eyes of the soldiers around me were also focused on me.

    ‘Did I do something wrong?’

    “···If you look at the corpse, you might be taken away by them.”

    The man gestures with his chin so that I cannot be seen by the driver who is watching me with his eyes.

    It’s absurd.

    “Oh, thank you for letting me know.”

    I had to slightly bow my head in greeting and leave.

    The man pretended to be a member of my group and walked after me.

    “So, is this your first time coming to Gestier?”

    “Yes. I stopped by the capital to start anew… but as soon as I entered the village, I saw a corpse…”

    “Those people were the people representing the indigenous people of our Gestier. The king who made eye contact thought he was evil and killed him.”

    You read my mind with power.

    If that’s the case, then they… this person is hiding something.

    “I don’t know the details, but I saw a sign that said traitor. Then, I don’t understand why they go so far as to insult the deceased when they can just kill them.”

    “The king is crazy. Make eye contact and examine the person’s physiognomy. And they kill people with bad physiognomy.”

    “Yes? Is the king coming out of the castle walls? I heard from the king that you are lame…?”

    The man looks me up and down.

    “Where in the country have you been living?”

    “Yes. I’m not yet well-versed in the world.”

    “···In any case, it would be best to get out of the capital as quickly as possible. Because this place is dangerous now.”

    A man passes me and enters an alley.

    ···You gave up on me. Why?

    ‘ah. That person was a disguised stooge.’

    I guess it was noticeable because my skin is fair.

    However, I was taken aback when a completely unrelated question was asked.

    This means that Isabel is scouting out people who might cause a rebellion in advance.

    ‘···why?’

    Even if you think about it alone, you won’t know.

    First, let’s wait for the night.

    Fortunately, today is the day when the first full moon rises.
