Time for the sun to set and eventually disappear beyond the horizon.

The moment the light announces death and comes down from its place.

There was darkness in the sky.

He didn’t want to question the taste of the spirit who had lived for hundreds of years, but it was the first time he had ever seen a night so dark.

Even the moon was covered with clouds and lost its light, and now the only fire left in this place was a small bonfire.

Agnes and Rebecca showed little embarrassment, but they relaxed after Lepero’s explanation and sat back down.

Akshi, who was originally a black dragon, may have been familiar with the darkness around him, but he was sitting calmly and basking in the flames.

“Looking like this, it looks like camping.”

I murmured while fiddling with Aarondite’s handle.

“is it?”

Beside him, Lepero was limping on a skewer he had brought from somewhere.

I frowned as I looked at the sauce drenched in my mouth.

“Where else did you get that from?”

“Do I have to tell you?”

I shut my mouth for a moment and then opened it again.

“You don’t have to.”

“Then don’t tell me.”

Lepero said that and put the meat on the skewer into his mouth.

I looked down at Lepero.

The figure of Repero, who was sitting on a tree stump and waving his legs, was an innocent boy.

If I had not known that there was a superlative spirit that had been there for hundreds of years, I would have mistaken him for a boy.

To that extent, Repero was perfectly capturing his energy.

‘Even Count Cardia wasn’t like that.’

A huge window that protects the winter castle.

Even the Count, who is known to have reached the highest level, could not completely hide his aura.

I suddenly had a question.

A spirit that has lived for hundreds of years. The number of superlatives I’ve seen in the meantime may be just how many.

Maybe Lepero could give me an answer or advice on the wall that I am currently blocked from.

With that in mind, I adamantly asked a question.

“Lepero.”

“yes?”

“Do you know the way to the highest level?”

“Do you understand?”

At the answer that came back immediately, I gasped and clicked my tongue.

It was a question I asked assuming I didn’t know, but I can’t help but regret that I didn’t answer it right away.

Information about superlatives is information that is not properly mentioned in the novel.

If you reach the highest level, there is not much known about it, except that you will become a sword master.

He wanted to hear from Count Cardia about the superlative, just in case, but he left an unknown answer, raising questions.

‘The horse is the highest level, I do not know if I can be called the highest level.’

I didn’t know what the hell that meant.

If a person who is already called the best in the world said something like that, how would you react?

The Auror shown in Winter Castle certainly had the destructive power worthy of the prestige of being the best.

“Zeep.”

He ate his mouth with regret.

Then Lepero looked at me and made a ridiculous expression.

“Are you regretting not being able to get to the top level right now?”

“Any problem?”

“It’s a huge problem. You bastard bastard.”

He jumped up from his seat and pointed at me with the tip of the skewer he had finished eating.

“Lennock is the only one I remember who reached the advanced level at your age. Aren’t all the people of the genius family that kind of conscience?”

“Lenock must have been the same.”

“okay. He was older than you. Still, I was not satisfied at all when I reached the state of being a magic swordsman.”

Lepero smirked and spoke behind his back about Lennock, but I felt it.

There was no anger in his face.

Even if you bring up Lennock’s story like this, you won’t lose any memories related to her.

Knowing that fact, I listened to Lepero’s story instead of saying it.

The one who had been by my side for hundreds of years sometimes said things like that.

Useless chatter, memories of the past, and things that should be called memories now.

Continuing life for a long time is like writing a book over and over again.

Is it possible to write hundreds of books, not dozens, and not forget everything?

At least it will be difficult for them.

so say remember by speaking Precious memories engraved in memory.

I know that every word that Repero speaks contains dozens of stories.

So I heard.

The story of the possessed senior who threw me an unknown giyeon and left.

After a while, Lepero shut his mouth.

It wasn’t that the story was lost, but it seemed that he needed a place to think.

Fortunately, his silence did not last long.

Lepero looked at me directly and said, unlike before.

“Come to think of it, there’s something Lennock left behind.”

“word?”

“Yeah, top-notch. A realm that lies beyond where you have reached.”

I shut my mouth as I tried to ask why are you saying that now.

Repero himself must have remembered it after not being able to remember it. And that fact was not to be touched.

It would be a bad fact for Lepero to forget such a memory.

Repero opened his eyes dazed and seemed to recall his memories, then slowly opened his mouth.

“Be independent.”

“What?”

“Without help from anyone, stand alone and pursue your own path.”

what else is that

When I tilted my head, Lepero said with a smirk.

“Actually, I don’t even know what you’re talking about. Lennock had a lot of quirky corners.”

“I see.”

Although it was a short meeting, I felt a lot that Lennock was unusually erratic.

■ ■ ■ ■ ■!!

It was short, but a noise echoed in his head. I frowned. It was the first time I heard it, but it didn’t sound very pleasant.

“Now I have to go slowly. Aren’t you here to talk to the three of us?”

“It did. I had something to ask you at the same time.”

“So, have you asked all of them now?”

“okay.”

Lepero put down the skewer and changed the shape of his body.

It was the first wolf I had ever met.

The wolf opened his mouth and said.

“I’ve been chatting for a while.”

“My ears hurt. Haven’t you ever heard of the word chatter?”

“I heard a lot.”

“It doesn’t look too bad to change your appearance into a sparrow.”

As a hint, Lepero really transformed into a sparrow.

I burst into laughter as I watched the little bird tilt its head.

It was a short laugh.

**

thump thump.

The sound of a bonfire burning filled the surroundings.

The three of them looked into each other’s eyes and didn’t say a word.

A silence heavier than a rock seemed to hold down the three people’s mouths.

“I… .”

Rebecca was the first to speak in that atmosphere.

She looked at Akshi carefully and asked.

“Is there any chance you and Deron were alone last night… .”

“Last night?”

“Isn’t that the one who was sitting on the bench under the Faculty of Magic?”

Aksi briefly interprets Rebecca’s words.

“Hey, did you see that?”

When I realized the meaning, I opened my eyes wide.

Unlike Deron, who had already noticed, he was concentrating all his mana on forming his body, so Akshi did not notice that Rebecca was hiding behind the tree.

As Rebecca nodded, Akshi closed her eyes.

It was because I never imagined that there would be anyone who had seen it.

“Are you two already acquainted?”

Agnes, who was not aware of the situation at all, inquired.

“no.”

“no.”

Rebecca and Aksi shake their heads at the same time.

Agnes pondered for a moment, then asked Aksi a question.

“If your name is… ?”

“Axius, call me Axius.”

Akshi, who usually does not accept nicknames, readily accepted Agnes and Rebekage.

Despite all that, while still in Deron’s body, the two had a long-distance relationship with her unnecessarily.

Although the two did not know each other, Akshi knew about it, so he allowed the nickname.

Above all, wasn’t Arcius a little long?

Akshi was aware that his name was a little too long to be called.

Agnes repeated Akshi’s name several times before continuing.

“Then Akshi, can you tell me what kind of relationship you have with Deron? A while ago, I saw that Deron was coming from the same side, and when I heard the words of the saint, they said that they were alone… .”

Akshi’s shoulders are trembling a little. Agnes and Rebecca did not miss the move.

She pauses for a moment.

“Are you two dating?”

He brought out a single word that would burn the atmosphere around him.

“what what what?”

“I asked if you were dating, but… If not, I’m sorry.”

Agnes asked calmly, but her heart was not.

In fact, I was drowning in my heart.

If she says yes, how should I respond?

Her head was burning more fiercely than in battle.

Of course, he wasn’t aware of it.

And it was the same with Rebecca.

As she pretended not to be interested, she glanced at Aksi.

Long black hair, a skull painted on the collarbone, and a well-trained abdomen and black roses.

Clearly, she was a woman who was not lacking enough to be called a beauty.

Rebecca thought inside her that she wouldn’t bow down to her looks, but she wasn’t sure.

The eyes of the two women turned to Akshi.

“Not yet… no.”

Akshi gave an ambiguous answer.

If Agnes and Rebecca ask Deron if they are dating, and they say no, what kind of shame should they bear?

What is certain is that Akshi did not have the confidence to bear the humiliation.

That said, I didn’t want to deny it completely.

So he said vaguely. Not yet. These short words will give Rebecca and Agnes a lot to think about.

I thought so.

Not knowing that the two are relieved that they are not in a relationship yet.

Akshi thought he had said it well.

The three of them looked at each other inwardly.

‘Still, I’m more than that person… .’

murmured a little.

Coincidentally, they had the same idea at the same time and in the same place.

And that short thought.

“What are you doing sitting there blankly?”

When Deron brought the skewers and drinks, it was smashed to pieces.
