"Kyle, Kyle. ”

Where am I? Is it another dream? Where do I start this time?

No, here...... Not where dreams begin. There is no yellow sand, no dead people, no wind, where is this place?

"Kyle, Kyle. ”

Who is it, who is calling me? Why is it dark? Why can't I see anything?

See!

It turned out to be here, it turned out to be you. My dear...... Father and mother.

"Kyle, it's time to get up, this morning as usual, five kilometers to run, and breakfast is only allowed after the run. You're a child of the Wood family, you're the pride of the Wood family, tiredness, pain, timidity, these are not reasons for you to hold back, understand?"

"Yes, Father. ”

Hehe, I remember, it's my fifth birthday. I just vaguely remember how cold the snow was and how strong the wind was that day. By the way, did you have breakfast that day? Heh, such a trivial matter, do you really not remember?

"Mother, I ......"

"Don't talk, it's breakfast time, have you forgotten your aristocratic etiquette? ”

"But Mother, we're not nobles, are we?"

"Have you forgotten all that I told you? The Wood family was once one of the noble noble families, and every member of the family was a gentleman and lady who adhered to aristocratic etiquette. And now, although the Wood family is temporarily in decline, we cannot forget our glory and nobility for a moment. Remember, while our efforts to return to the nobility have failed, you will never fail. You are the pride of the Wood family, you are the hope of the Wood family's future, you will not fail, and you will not allow failure, if you don't even have such an awareness, how can you be worthy of the surname Wood?"

"Yes, Mother, I will always remember. ”

Ha, I almost forgot, I am the hope for the future of the Wood family, what you have not accomplished, what you have not realized, you want me to continue. Unfortunately, it wasn't until many years later that I realized that it was just a dream you gave me, not my own.

"Stand up, Kyle, stand up for me. Hold your sword, and climb for me. Did two thousand slashes make you fall? You let me down so much, you are my son, how can you be so weak? What about your bravery, what about your perseverance, what about your fearlessness, what about your indomitability? If you fall like this, don't call me father again. ”

"Focus, Kyle, archery is all about concentration, using your full potential, don't say you can't do it. Your goal is to become the perfect saint-like figure, and in your heart, there should be no such thing as not being able to do that. Give me concentration, a thousand shots, no mistakes, no allowed, or I, as a mother, will be ashamed to admit that I have a son like you. ”

Oh, perfect man, saint, synonymous with virtue, dear father and mother, is this all you want to carve into my heart? I have accepted everything you have instilled in me, and I have tried to make myself a perfect saint, but you may never know that there is a price to be paid to be a perfect saint. I wonder when you were dying on your hospital bed, and your only son was fighting to save the lives of a few unrelated people in the distance because of the so-called virtues, did you regret it? Yes, I regret it, I regret it very much, because I love you.

"After lunch, there is a half-hour break, what do you think?"

"Mother, I'm ...... I want to go out for a walk. Yesterday the neighbor's kids asked me to play with me. ”

"Is it meaningful? You are a person who wants to be a saint and not do things that don't make any sense. Every minute of you is precious, and you have no time to waste. Have you memorized all the linguistics? What about the Circle of Magic? Heraldry, Mathematics, Introduction to Magic, have you memorized all of these? Instead of wasting your time on meaningless play, you should memorize more knowledge, and remember, you are the future of the Wood family, and you are our son. ”

"Yes, Mother. ”

Should I thank you? Because of the habit you have cultivated for me, I used to study all the time, and it became an instinct to learn things, and after many years I realized that this was not really life, it was just a distorted attitude. But it is precisely because of the habits you have given me that I now understand a little bit of everything, should I thank you?

"Listen up, Kyle. Chivalry is an important part of nobility, and you should pay attention to it. ”

"Kyle, don't get distracted, Potions is a very complex subject, and the slightest mistake can lead to fatal results. ”

"Kyle, you memorized the botanical features of the eastern part of the Federation, and you misremembered it for today's dinner halved. ”

"Kyle, wake up, Kyle. ”

"Kyle. ”

"Kyle. ”

――――――――――――――――

"Wake up, Pannis, you've slept so well. ”

"Whew. Pannis sat up and stared blankly at Vivien, who woke him up, "When you don't feel murderous, you sleep to death." What's the change out there?"

"Well, you guessed right. Catherine hid by the window and looked out through the window: "Although there is no movement yet, the concentration of death energy is already exaggerated. ”

"What about Dora?" Pannis, who didn't find the female knight, "won't really run away." ”

"Naw, there. Lina pointed to the corner of the room. In the corner there was a shivering blanket with a curly brown hair peeking out: "She's pretending to be a snail." ”

"Ahem. Pannis coughed dryly: "She's so afraid of the undead, how can she be a mercenary? ”

"She's not afraid of the undead. Catherine explained, "She's just afraid of the ghostly undead who exist alone, and the rest aren't at all." She already had this weakness when she was at the Knight Academy. ”

"Whatever she wants. Pannis shrugged, "But I've heard that ghosts like to come out of the corner when they appear." ”

The blanket in the corner shook rhythmically suddenly, and then moved at a rapid pace towards the four of them, until it reached the middle of the four of them, and then stopped again, and began to shiver again.

"I've heard of it. Pannis smiled evilly: "Ghosts often like to come out from under the ground, not knowing that in the enclosed space under the blanket, someone suddenly finds themselves with a painful face pasted in front of them......"

"Ahh Dora lifted the blanket and jumped up, grabbed Pannis's collar and shook it: "Shut up, shut up, shut up, force me to stay here with you and go crazy, you actually scare me again and again, forcing me to die with you." ”

Pannis suddenly gave a reluctant dry smile and secretly glanced at Dora's left back. Dora was stunned, and began to shake Pannis's collar again: "You want to lie to me again, I have already been deceived by you once, and I will not be fooled again." ”

Pannis didn't speak, still looking behind Dora, the expression on his face very stiff. Dora swallowed heavily and asked tentatively, "This time, no, it's true." ”

"Hehe, hehe. Pannis smiled dryly and did not answer.

Dora looked at the three girls in turn, as if asking for help, but Lina, Vivien, and Catherine all stared behind her in surprise.

"Ahhhh Dora finally couldn't take it anymore and shouted, throwing herself into Pannis's arms and burying her face in Pannis's chest.

"It's so deceitful. Pannis shrugged lightly, and suddenly found that the three girls were staring at him and Dora in his arms unkindly, and reluctantly explained: "This ...... I said it was an accident, you must not believe it. ”

The three girls nodded neatly and stared sharply at Pannis's face.

"That one, I think I can explain it. Pannis wanted to take two steps back, but was held by Dora, so she could only stand there and sweat profusely and say, "You will definitely listen to my explanation." ”

The three girls nodded neatly again, and then neatly rubbed their palms against the other hand that was clenched into a fist.

"That...... Actually, here's the thing. Pannis's eyes rolled, and cold sweat kept bursting out: "By the way, this explanation is very long, why don't we talk about it tomorrow?" Oh~~~~"

As he spoke, Pannis suddenly let out a duck-like cry that had been trampled on his neck, and the muscles on his face twisted in pain, clutching his lower abdomen tightly, and falling to his knees little by little with slow movements.

The three girls frowned together, with a sore expression on their faces: "Oh, this must be very painful." ”

Dora snorted indignantly, withdrew her raised knees, dusted off the chain mail on her body, and strode over to the three girls: "It's so hateful, you dare to deceive me continuously and sentence you to death." ”

Pannis, who had lost his support, slowly fell forward on his knees, and finally fell on his knees with his butt facing the sky, looked at Lina with rolling eyes full of anticipation, and struggled to stretch out a hand to her: "Help me, Lina." ”

Lina sighed, walked to Pannis, knelt down on one knee, picked up the silver Dharma book on her waist with a compassionate and loving expression, bowed her head and recited for a while, and put the Dharma book next to Pannis's face: "Kiss the Dharma book, and your soul can get eternal peace." ”

"Hey. Pannis reluctantly raised his head and shouted, "I'm not dead yet, don't say goodbye now." ”

"I'm not dead yet. Lina slapped the law book heavily and made an expression of sudden realization: "But it doesn't matter, I think I'm almost dying, let's hold the ceremony in advance." ”

"This kind of ritual doesn't need to be done in advance, bastard. Pannis's tone was indescribably pitiful and complaining.

"Well deserved. Dora glared at Pannis, turning her head out the window.

"How's it going, aren't you scared?" said Catherine, standing beside Dora, with a smirk.

Dora was stunned for a moment, blinked, and turned her gaze back to Pannis, who was still crying on the ground, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, but she snorted softly, and quickly turned her head away.

"Shhhh Vivien, who had been staring out the window, suddenly waved her hand: "They appeared." ”
