"Hmm, where is this?" Clyde, who opened his eyes, looked at the space around him in confusion, it was pitch black, there was no light, but he could clearly see his arms and body.

"Yo~ Wake up!" a blonde teenager walked up to Clyde's side, looking like a child who had just turned ten years old, but the clothes on his body made Clyde feel a little familiar・・・・・・・・・

"Who are you, why am I here?" asked Clyde, slightly confused.

"My name is Clyde V. Oswell・・・・・・・・"

"That's my name!" Clyde interrupted the blonde boy with a frown, "Say!Who the hell are you?!Why am I here?!"

"What a faux pas!" the blonde boy who called himself 'Clyde V. Oswell' shook his head helplessly with his hands on his hips.

"Answer me!" Clyde made a gesture, only to find that his body seemed to be like an empty shell, not to mention magic, and he even wondered if there would be a hole in his body if he poked it, revealing the 'nothingness' inside!

"Why, I really can't imagine that you are my future posture, crazy?" the blonde boy shook his head and sighed.

"Future?" Clyde was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the blonde boy was indeed very similar to his own appearance when he was a child, and he did not have a trace of strength in his body, which means that he was ・・・・・・・・・・ now

"Guess what? This is your dream. The blonde boy smiled slightly, Clyde had always thought that he had forgotten his past self, but he did not expect him to appear in front of his eyes in the form of a dream.

"Then why are you here, I should be being cursed, spitned upon, and abused by those billions of humanoids in my previous dreams?" Clyde laughed to himself, every day is the same nightmare, I woke up from my dream, is this time going to change the routine?!

"・・・・・・・・・" The blonde boy didn't speak, just silently looked at the somewhat crazy Clyde.

"Hello~" Suddenly, another person appeared in this dark space, dressed in gorgeous aristocratic costumes, with the same blond hair and blue eyes as the boy, but his appearance was much more handsome than Clyde himself, "My name is Clyde V. Oswell・・・・・・・・"

"You're lying! I don't remember what kind of aristocrat I am, and I don't have that handsome skin!" Clyde denied without hesitation.

"You have that self-knowledge・・・・・・・・・ the corners of the blond-haired boy's mouth twitched slightly.

"・・・・・・・・・・・" The blonde nobleman, after being denied by Clyde, stood there like a stone statue, not saying a word.

"Hello, my name is ・・・・・・・・・" And the next moment when the blonde nobleman was speechless, another girl with long black hair and black eyes slowly walked out from behind the blonde nobleman, she was wearing black and hideous armor and a crimson cloak like a stage curtain.

"Go back!"

The girl who had been interrupted by Clyde before she could ・・・・・・・・・・・ her name closed her eyes, and then slowly dissipated into the dark space.

"Who else? who else is going to impersonate me?" Clyde gritted his teeth, holding back the 'anger' in his heart, and roared in a low voice.

"Tut-tut・・・・・・・・・ future me, are you really unwilling to accept yourself?" the blonde boy asked Clyde, a little teasingly.

"Me?!You say those people are me?!Don't be kidding!" Clyde, who had lost his mask of indifference and patience, now seemed a little crazy, even close to madness.

"Hello・・・・・・・・" An unfamiliar voice remembered in this space, this time it was a soldier uncle with a broken arm!

"Get out of here!!!" Clyde yelled!

"・・・・・・・・・・" In addition to the blonde boy, the blonde nobleman and the soldier uncle disappeared into this dark space like the black-haired girl.

"I don't know what it means! Are you trying to drive me crazy?!" Clyde said to the blonde boy with a haggard face.

"How is it possible~" The blonde boy waved his hand and said, Clyde didn't think he used to be this kind of character, he was so naïve and innocent at that time, but unlike the guy in front of him, every word he said made him feel anxious and uneasy.

"Those are you, they are all called Clyde V. Oswell, but your souls in other planes are the same body!" said the blond boy, who slowly raised his hand, pointed to himself and said, "Including me, when the world was destroyed, I became one with you, because no matter what our name was or what our identity was during our lifetime, we all had the same origin as you, so after becoming ashes, we became your shadow, the shadow of 'Clyde V. Oswell'!"

"It's normal for you not to know us, after all, no one will pay attention to their shadow~"

"How is this possible?" Clyde looked at the blonde teenager in disbelief.

"Because I am the closest person to you, I will not be affected by your commands, just as you commanded the other shadows!" said the blonde boy as he walked up to Clyde, "If the world had not chosen you, then I would have written the Book of Sin in your place, and then suffer the same pain as you did when the world was destroyed." ”

"That's why I'm here, so you don't have to be bothered by those nightmares!" said the blonde boy, patting his chest, but his appearance made Clyde feel unreliable.

"Because those nightmares are because of your psychological effect, to be reasonable, we, as your shadows, can feel it more or less when you are hurt, but your nightmares are not caused by those sins in your body, but your heart cannot bear the pain that no one can save!"

"Hmph~ So what, how are you going to get me out of this pain? The only thing that keeps me going is this sin!" Clyde sat cross-legged in front of the blonde boy, who was a little calmer now, at least not as exhausted as he had just been.

"I didn't say I wanted your motivation to disappear, I just wanted the pressure to go away~" The blonde boy said to Clyde with a look of 'you misunderstood'.

“？？？”

"So I'm going to hypnotize you!" the blonde boy grinned as he pulled out a ring with a red rope from his bosom.

"・・・・・・・・・・・" Clyde is not from the earth, so he doesn't shout the sentence 'You TM is kidding me', but his mood at this time can really be summed up by this sentence.

"Fall into a deep sleep!" but to Clyde's surprise, the blonde boy did not shake the ring there, but reached out his other hand and pressed it on his forehead, whispering.

As soon as the blonde boy finished speaking, Clyde fell down and fell asleep peacefully, his sleeping appearance was like a newborn child, it was obvious that he hadn't had a good night's sleep for a long time, Clyde was still the first to fall asleep in a dream, of course, he had to fall asleep like this in the future, otherwise he would have nightmares because of psychological pressure.

"Is this really okay?" The dark-haired girl who had been yelled away by Clyde appeared next to the blonde boy, her expression looking a little remorseful.

"It's just a stopgap measure, we can only pray that Gaia will enlighten him now, or we can only watch him sink into madness!" said the blonde boy as he stood up and shook his head.

"I think that Gaia is driving Clyde crazy, she should know his current state of mind, and she is deliberately blocking him!" said the blonde nobleman who walked out from behind the girl, and said in a somewhat unkind tone.

"We don't know if it's really going to drive him crazy, and he doesn't know either, but Gaia is the only one who can get him back to normal. "The blonde boys are different from Lulutia, they are Clyde's shadows, and they naturally know Clyde's psychological state very well, but compared to Lulutia, who doesn't know what to do, they are relatively proactive.

"Hmph! If only Clyde went crazy, then we shadows would also go crazy!" the blonde nobleman still didn't want to believe Gaia.

"Let's wait and see・・・・・・・・ "The girl in black armor thought to herself, and her figure disappeared into this dark space again.

Everyone in Clyde's body has their own considerations, and although they are all for Clyde, there will always be times when there is a disagreement, and there will be no civil war, but there will still be verbal wars, and it is okay to debate for months in one breath.

"Uh-huh・・・・・・・・・" opened his eyes, and his body felt like it was about to soften (Star: I was the same when I got up), but he felt that he was in better spirits today than before, and his heart felt much less anxious.

At this time, Clyde was on the transport ship to France (Mo did them), after all, Gaia gave them a lot of gold, enough to fill the loss of equipment, so they got on the ship of this group of mercenaries, and it was already the next day, and they were about to arrive at the port of Le Havre!

"Last night's dream・・・・・・・・・," Clyde found that his face was much less haggard as he washed up, and if he hadn't looked in the mirror, he wouldn't have noticed that he was refreshed after a good night's sleep.

"Say thank you to them the next time you dream!" Clyde thought to himself, he really had to clear his pressure, or he would go crazy sooner or later!

Gala~

"Honey~ are you up yet?" Gaia's appearance made Clyde's original good mood completely gone, why is this guy still calling himself 'dear'?

Ah~ I feel that the pressure that has been finally reduced has become heavier・・・・・・・・・・・

"Look! it's that guy Gaia driving Clyde crazy!" said one of the blonde nobles inside Clyde to the blonde boy beside him.

"・・・・・・・・・・・" The blonde boy was speechless for a moment.
