Dragon Clan: Fujimaru-san is saving the world

Caesar Gattuso realized early on that there were problems within his family.

The Gattuso family, this huge group, controls the most cutting-edge technology and resources in the world, but there is a huge contradiction.

To put it bluntly.

That is, Caesar considered these people unworthy.

To be honest, Caesar didn't admire their knowledge, vision, and even their best words.

He was born as a "once-in-a-thousand-year emperor", and Caesar himself had a conservative attitude towards this evaluation.

Until he met all his peers from aristocratic families, until he defeated his opponents in different fields again and again, building up absolute confidence and arrogance.

The trajectory of life is tortuous. To put it in slightly philosophical terms, it is a process of constant self-denial and an upward spiral. Occasionally, we will experience huge setbacks, but we will eventually grow.

Caesar Gattuso was once so arrogant that he was startling, but he also regained his composure after a huge failure.

Don't get me wrong, that's not giving up. His dignity and aesthetics don't allow that to happen. He just understands more objectively where he is and whether others' evaluation of him is reasonable.

Whether your own evaluation of yourself is correct.

After that, he unknowingly returned to the original question.

[How do I look like a once-in-a-thousand-year emperor? 】

indeed.

Caesar was proud and arrogant.

Caesar has considerable personal talents, mathematics, logic, and even combat ability. He is first-rate.

But, it's just first-class.

Why are you given such high hopes?

Why?

What's so special about you?

Although he harbored this question, Caesar would not choose to ask his father or Frost. The former was because he felt he would be laughed at, and the latter was because he could not get the answer.

Puzzled, doubtful, hesitant.

After seeing a genius like Fujimaru Ritsuka, who would still think that he was born to be an emperor?

But even so, Caesar objectively recognized that he also had ‘specialness’.

[Caesar, your soul is very tolerant. 】

That's what Leonardo da Vinci said to himself during a physical examination.

[Look, didn’t I say before that the Heroic Spirit Contract itself is extremely demanding, not to mention the direct synchronization fusion with the Heroic Spirits. However, Caesar, you have completed the synchronization with two extremely compatible Heroic Spirits at the same time, and you have not done it at all. There is no rejection reaction. 】

【Um? You said, ‘Is this rare? ’, no, no, no, um. Let’s explain it this way——]

[The essence of synchrony needs to be explained in many professional terms, but how do you say that when you dream, you also dream about the past of the heroic spirit, right? That's it, the synchronization actually makes the spirit of the heroic spirit, that is, the traces of the life passed, and the information merge with the master. This is a step by which the subconscious mind gradually increases the synchronization rate. 】

[However, the vast majority of humans are unable to complete this step, because the experiences of heroic spirits are too magnificent. 】

[In that kind of life, if an average person is force-fed information, they will be devoured in an instant and directly become a physical sacrifice for heroic spirits. 】

[In this world, how many people do you think can complete the contract of two heroic spirits at the same time? ——There are only Angers and Fujimaru Ritsuka in total. 】

[The former has lived for hundreds of years and has accumulated considerable life experience. Even if he is left alone, Ange himself will become a heroic spirit. Therefore, it is possible to fight against the information of the heroic spirit, but even so, being able to contract a second heroic spirit requires two additional factors - first, the compatibility between Angers and Beowulf is not too high, so they will not be overly synchronized. Second, the Cave King himself evolved [Steel Determination EX] after synchronizing with Angers. 】

[As for you, you have actually completed the contract at such a tender age as adulthood, and it seems that you have not reached the upper limit. 】

[This is, rather than a talent, an anomaly, Caesar Gattuso]

That was the first time Caesar felt his own specialness.

But soul compatibility is high?

Of the three elements of life - body, soul and spirit.

And one's own body and soul can carry a considerable amount of [spirit].

Is this what makes you special?

The anchor points that Caesar had not understood were now clarified.

The reason was the long dreams he experienced during those days when he was sleeping.

That long memory of others that ends with happiness but begins with pain.

Generally speaking, dreams will become blurry after a person wakes up, but Caesar's specialties have been mentioned long ago. His memory and mathematical logic abilities are far beyond ordinary people.

Instead, bit by bit, he recalled the blurry dream.

Return to the crystal clear reality.

The beginning of that dream.

The birth of ‘him’.

It's a dragon.

"Daddy no! You! -" Caesar got up hastily, slurring his words.

In front of him, Pompeii looked at him calmly.

"Ah, I am a dragon. To put it simply, I am Odin."

That hidden corner has an appearance similar to a natural mine.

Surrounded by fluorescent colored glass crystals, it is wide enough to accommodate a Ferris wheel. It does not look like it should exist in an underground space in New York.

Pompeii Gattuso was sitting on an unusually abrupt stone chair in the space, with his knees supporting his elbows and his waist slightly bent. He was wearing a heavy and old-looking jet black woolen coat.

He was wrapped in a white bandage-like strip of cloth, from which scarlet could be seen seeping out, and there were wounds everywhere. He looked completely different from his usual cool self, ragged and embarrassed.

At that moment, Caesar heard Pompeii's positive answer.

And that was just as he expected.

It was the answer he didn't expect.

".So, it was all your doing?" There were no chains on Caesar's body. Contrary to what he imagined, he actually found the blanket covering himself after waking up. Only his weak body told him that he had been Imprisoned for several days.

But at this time, he ignored them and asked irritably in a way that he didn't know what emotions he was feeling.

He couldn't see his face, but Caesar, who was already tall and mighty, looked like a bloody lion when he stood up and roared, looking very oppressive.

"Create a false history! Try to kill the principal and Fujimaru, create Night City, and plan to turn humans into your slaves? Are you crazy!!!"

"Um."

Because Caesar stood up, Pompey had to look up, and he looked calmly until he finished speaking before answering.

"What I said before is correct, but I'm not crazy. From the dragon clan's perspective, no, from my perspective, there's no problem, right?"

"What are you talking about-"

"Don't kid yourself, Caesar, you 'see' it, right?"

The blond lion seemed to be stuck in his throat, and Caesar's originally ferocious face suddenly stiffened.

Pompeii, on the other hand, kept his calm expression and continued to speak.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion

There was a hint of softness in that voice.

"That's my memory."

"All memories since being created by Nidhogg."
