“only… , wake up… .”

I heard someone calling me. It was a voice full of worry. The voice seemed to come from far away, as if in a dream.

I opened my eyes slowly His whole body felt stiff as if he had been beaten, and his bones seemed to be screaming.

The first thing I saw was Vivian looking down at me with worried eyes. As I slowly raised my upper body, my coat slid down.

At a glance, I could tell whose coat it belonged to. It was the overcoat Vivian was wearing.

“Vivian… ?”

“It’s up. Senior Ethan.”

“uh… , Yes.”

I tried to recall what had happened. Soon after, he remembered being sucked into the rift created by colliding with Vassago.

From somewhere, I heard the sound of water dripping again and again. Rien and the Black Knights stood guard by my side.

“Lord! I’m glad you woke up.”

I’m sorry to hear your worried voice. It seemed like I was just worrying too much.

“I’m okay. Lien. you?”

“I’m fine too. Lord!”

In response to Ryen’s answer, I faced him and nodded. I was fine. There was still more than half of the mana in his body.

If there was a problem, it was that he had consumed energy by overdoing the final swordsmanship ceremony.

“By the way, Vivian, where are you?”

“Unfortunately, we found a cave and evacuated.”

“What happened? Did I pass out? What about Vassago?”

“Yes, the senior passed out. I think you may have been overdoing it. If you use that much magic… . It’s not hard to fall down. And I don’t know much about Vassago. It was around here when I woke up too.”

Listening to Vivian’s explanation, I slowly got up. Soon I returned the coat to the owner.

“Thanks for the coat.”

“Thank you very much. Senior Ethan… .”

“Uh, but what about my sword?”

Vivian carefully lifted the black blade lying beside her. It was as if he was handling a holy relic.

“that… , Sorry for the bad news.”

The arcenian steel sword was broken. Strictly speaking, the blade itself did not appear to have been seriously damaged, and the handle of the sword seemed to have been smashed.

It is amazing that only the blade remains clean even after the shock.

I grabbed the blade and tried to return it to the scabbard. However, the scabbard was also broken. The half-cut sword sheath was clumsily connected and rattled.

“uh… , um… .”

I took a bandage from the shadow and wrapped it around the base of the black blade. A cloth was added over it and tied around the shoulders. It was awkward, but it seemed like I could move it if I didn’t overdo it.

“Can I borrow a sword?”

It was Balmung, the black dragon sword that Vivian had placed on the wall of the cave. However, several swords were stored in Vivian’s subspace.

Would it be okay if I borrowed some of it?

“I have some spare swords left. My hobby is collecting swords.”

Vivian reached out to pull out the sword from the subspace. However, a puzzled expression crossed his face as if something was strange.

“what’s the matter?”

“Oh, no… .”

It seems there is no way that subspace will disappear. Is the space not open? Apparently my prediction was correct.

There are times when the space doesn’t open… .

“Uh, what? Have you lost all of them? Why doesn’t the subspace open?”

Vivian was devastated as she had lost all her possessions. I can’t help it. I approached Linkea and asked to borrow a sword.

“Please bring the sword your lord wants.”

The Black Brotherhood, including Linkea, all knelt at once. I picked out a suitable sword and kicked it around my waist.

Vivian was curious about the identity of the knights.

“Who are you? what about the knights? I’ve heard about Rien from Lady Sepia. But I’ve never heard of those knights.”

In the end, all of them were brought back to life through necromancy.

Even if Vivian had a crush on her, she couldn’t help it.

“They are my colleagues. They were saved by necromancy. was originally an enemy. He was an assassin.”

“… … okay.”

You might be curious, but Vivian didn’t ask any more. do you understand

“The crystal ball doesn’t work either. We move as soon as the day dawns.”

Anyway, what happened to Vassago? where did we fall Many questions came to mind, but there was no way to know.

What is certain is that Vivian and I have fallen somewhere.

Perhaps it was a situation in which the boundaries of dimensions were significantly weakened due to the continued use of subspaces and Vassago’s dimension-related abilities.

In addition, I wonder if it was a disaster caused by accidentally touching the magic field that was sleeping on the ground.

“Everybody go back to the shadows.”

I returned them to the shadows. Suddenly, I wanted to call Runtar and Letea.

“Runtar! Letea! Are you there?”

But my call came back as an echo as it hit the ceiling of the cave. An ominous feeling crept up.

Basically, all spirits belonged to the spirit realm. It is revealed in the present world with the magical power of the Contractor.

However, not responding to the call meant being cut off from the spirit realm for any reason.

I leaned my back against the cave wall. A sigh came out.

It’s ruined. The first thing to do was to take a break. As Vivian said, we decided to take a break until dawn.

I opened my eyes slightly, hoping that the place would be quiet.

Vivian was dozing with her shoulder wrapped around her. I took off my coat and put it on Vivian.

Anyway, I didn’t catch the cold because I had insomnia. No matter how cold it was, it was only cool.

“… thanks.”

Vivian said with her eyes closed. were you not sleeping Instead of answering, I returned to my seat and sat down.

The day was bright and we decided to move.

First, I needed to know where this place was. Passing by a deserted place, I was somehow feeling deja vu. Vivian, who had been walking ahead, stopped.

“Senior Ethan… . It’s a big deal.”

I nodded. The place where we were standing was where the villa of the Ergé Merchant Chamber should be.

However, there was no villa, let alone an empty lot with no traces. It seemed that the whole villa had disappeared.

Neither Vivian nor I could easily speak in shock.

“What is this… .”

“Let’s go to the center of the city for now.”

Vivian and I headed towards the center of Ronbiaban. Fortunately, the city was crowded with people.

Passing by the street, Vivian suddenly felt something strange and headed to the store. Vivian, who was carefully examining the calendar in the shopping district, approached the store owner.

“What year, month, and day is today?”

The owner wondered why he asked such a thing.

“Why are you asking that all of a sudden? A young wife?”

“I just have something to check.”

“It’s February 16, 1652 in the Ignis Imperial Calendar.”

Ignis Imperial Year 1652.

If that’s true… , got goose bumps on his forearms. Vivian bit her lower lip and stepped out of the store.

Then I went to another store and asked the same question several times. Everyone was puzzled, but gave the date.

All came back with the same answer.

“Senior Ethan… . we probably… .”

He seemed to know exactly what Vivian wanted to say. exactly 10 years. We were apart 10 years ago in the past.

“Now what?”

fell into the past 10 years ago. I guessed why Vivian’s subspace was closed and why she couldn’t summon the spirit.

If it had fallen on another world line, it would have been possible.

So, in this world, I did not make a contract with Letea or Runtar. Did Runtar and Letea return to the spirit realm of that world line?

Perhaps if they had been swept away by that explosion and fell together into the past, there would have been no reason why they could not respond to my call.

Did the demon Vassago also fall into the past with us?

Or do you want to remain in the original world?

It was unknown. At least what is certain is that Letea and Runthar are not here.

“It’s ruined… .”

All sorts of worries came crashing in like waves. Can we go back to the original world? I desperately shook my head.

As far as I know, there was no episode in the original story where Arthur or his friends fell into the past. A long period of thought ensued.

Suddenly, a thought crossed my mind.

“Hey, Vivian, I don’t know if this is possible… .”

I told you everything I was thinking. Vivian hesitated for a moment. However, it was not a particularly sharp number.

In the end, we had to do everything we could.

* * *

A girl was kneeling in front of a tombstone.

It was a girl with reddish pink hair. The girl’s blue eyes were blankly fixed on the tombstone.

The owner of the tombstone is the girl’s mother, who died three months ago.

She was an outstanding magician and also the hostess of Logness’s class. Three months had passed, but the girl still couldn’t believe her mother’s death.

It was only three months ago.

On that day, the village belonging to Lognesban was invaded by Mines. While the lord was away, the mother led the army herself.

The overcast sky made raindrops drop softly. The raindrops gradually got thicker and soon began to pour heavily.

“You’ll catch a cold if you stay here like this.”

Then someone put an umbrella behind the girl. It was a boy with black hair.

“… … ”

“miss… … .”

“… don’t tell me.”

“Sepia girl… .”

Sepia jumped up from her seat and pushed the boy away. The boy lost his umbrella and fell on the muddy floor.

“Didn’t I tell you not to call me?”

“… … ”

“You know I don’t know? it’s all because of you It’s all because of you.”

His blue eyes, tinged with miasma, trembled pitifully.

When the mother arrived at the village, the boy was standing alone with his sword in a sea of fire.

If it wasn’t for the promise the mother made to the boy as a servant, Sepia would have kicked Ethan out of the fortress right away.

‘Honey, you’re quite good at using a sword. What is your name?’

‘Ethan… . This is Ethan.’

Then the mother got down on one knee and put her hand on the child’s head. Everyone in the orphanage is dead. It could be said that the boy was the only survivor of the village.

‘Sorry for being late. Ethan.’

‘it’s okay.’

‘If it’s okay with you, would you like to go to Lognesban’s castle together? I want to reap you.’

‘Can I go to Logness Castle?’

Mother then nodded and smiled benevolently. I couldn’t understand why the mother had picked up such a child.

‘I have a daughter named Sepia. A very pretty kid. They’ll be happy to have friends.’

However, she was never reunited with her daughter.

According to the guards, the girl’s mother wrapped up the boy at the last moment. Because of that, I couldn’t dodge the flying spear.

‘Lord Logness acted like the owner of the territory until the end.’

That was the opinion of the knight who told her mother’s end. So what do you mean? Rescuing a lower class without parents, her mother died.

That alone was enough reason to pour out hatred on a boy named Ethan as a sepia.

“Don’t come any closer… . I mean quit.”

After that day, Sepia pushed the boy away again and again. However, the boy approached Sepia every time as if nothing had happened.

As if he wanted to be forgiven of his sins, he pushed them away and came closer.

“It’s all because of you… , It’s all because of you.”

Sepia responded with a trembling voice. Soon the girl walked past the boy coldly. I went back to my room and lay down on the bed and passed the time in a daze.

Then I fell asleep for a while.

When I opened my eyes, a black figure was moving in the darkness. My blood froze and my heart felt like it was racing.

“baboon… .”

Sepia habitually tried to call her servant. However, the opponent quickly closed the distance and closed his mouth.

The one I saw up close had black hair. Sepia struggled, but it was a futile resistance.

“If you don’t scream, I’ll let you go. little girl.”

Sepia couldn’t help but nodded her head. Then, a brown-haired woman approached Sepia and bowed.

Both were familiar yet unfamiliar faces.

“Sorry. sepia girl… . He came to visit without permission.”

“Vivian… ? And you Ethan… ? Are you Ethan?”

Sepia opened her eyes wide and murmured.

However, it was different from the Vivian she knew. Unlike the Vivian she knew, she was tall and outwardly a woman.

“What are you guys… ?”

Vivian and Ethan looked at each other and smiled awkwardly. How can I explain this?

“My lady, I am Vivian. This is Ethan.”

At first, I thought I was dreaming. But it wasn’t.

Ten-year-old Sepia glared at Vivian. It was incomprehensible.

Ethan, who was 10 years old today, has become 20 years old.
