After retiring, I became Loli’s magic mentor

As consciousness returned, Louisa slowly opened her eyes.

What you see is a darkness so dark that you can't even see your fingers.

——Is it a dream again?

After looking around to make sure there was no light source, a sense of fear of the unknown began to spread in Louisa's heart.

It seemed that the next moment, he would be swallowed up by this unknown darkness.

After pinching her arm, a strange stinging pain came, which did not let Louisa escape from the dream.

But Louisa knew that she was definitely in a dream now.

She raised her hand helplessly, and Louisa suddenly felt her hands touch a hard and cold object.

After groping for a while, Louisa breathed a sigh of relief.

——Stone wall.

After confirming that there was a rugged stone wall in front of her, Louisa took a step forward and sat down with her back against the stone wall. She finally felt a little relieved in her heart.

Just like this, just wait quietly for the dream to wake up...

Thinking this, Louisa slowly closed her eyes.

However, at the next moment, a huge roar came from the depths of darkness.

Then, Louisa felt the ground tremble again.

Opening her eyes, Louisa stood up holding on to the wall and looked in the direction of the sound.

Unfortunately, all that can be seen is still darkness.

However, that huge low roar became increasingly clear, as if the owner of the voice was constantly approaching him.

This unknown fear made Louisa's breathing become heavier.

After taking two deep breaths, Louisa turned around, touched the wall and stumbled away in the opposite direction from the source of the sound.

"Roar--"

The monster's low roar kept ringing in Louisa's ears, and the ground shook continuously, as if it was chasing Louisa.

In such endless darkness, Louisa didn't know how long she had been running.

The stumbling along the way and the hot pursuit of the monster behind her have been sapping Louisa's fighting spirit.

At the same time, a voice also sounded in Louisa's mind.

——How about... just stop. It's just a nightmare anyway. What if I wake up?

Yes, it's just...a nightmare.

Thinking this, Louisa slowly slowed down her pace.

The monster's breath seemed to come from his back.

At this moment, Louisa's thoughts suddenly returned to a very far place.

That was what happened when she was a child. Her hometown was invaded by monsters, the village was reduced to rubble, and her parents and villagers were all killed.

At that time, just like now, I just stood there and cried, waiting for the monster behind me to kill me.

Then...how did I survive?

By the way, at that time, a group of tall figures suddenly appeared in front of me.

They wore red and white knight armor and white cloaks with the red Hedley national emblem. They held spears and easily tore apart the invading monsters.

It was also at that time that I had a great admiration for the mighty Knights of the Guards, and after hard work day after day, I successfully joined the Knights of the Guards.

As a result... even now, I am still like a toddler, not making any progress at all...

He was still as weak as ever, only knowing that he was waiting for his own end, without the slightest intention to resist.

He has not become...the person he longed for at all...

Gradually, Louisa felt that her consciousness became hazy.

Just when Louisa felt that she was about to fall into a bottomless abyss of darkness, a dazzling light suddenly lit up in front of her eyes.

The light instantly lit up the entire cave, causing Louisa to subconsciously close her eyes.

After adapting for a while, Louisa slowly opened her eyes and finally saw the whole cave clearly.

And...a man wearing black clothes appeared in front of him.

For some reason, the moment she saw the man in black, Louisa's heart was instantly filled with a great sense of security.

Just like...when I was saved by the Imperial Guard Knights as a child.

Unfortunately, the man in front of him is just a fictional character in his dream. Once he wakes up from the dream, everything will be in vain.

Thinking this, Louisa stared at the man in front of her carefully again.

——At least, write down his appearance.

At this time, Ryan held the sword, looked up at the dragon behind Louisa, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it came in time. If it had come a little later, I'm afraid the dragon would have succeeded.

At this moment, the dragon was also staring at Ryan, his eyes full of astonishment, as if to say, "Why is it you again?"

"Hello, we meet again."

Ryan took the lead and said hello with a smile: "Why don't you think again and switch to my side?"

"Ho... get out of here -"

Ryan's face was stern, he stepped forward, and when he passed Louisa, he whispered: "Don't look back."

"Ah? Oh!"

Hearing Ryan's voice, Louisa's cheeks turned red inexplicably and she subconsciously responded.

Is this his voice? It sounds pretty good, much clearer than expected, and it feels very young.

Yes, after all, it was made up by my subconscious mind, and it is normal for the voice to be the type I like.

"Roar!!"

"Chong-"

Immediately afterwards, the roar of the monster was intertwined with the sound of the sword.

Listening to the sound of fighting behind her, Luisa wanted to turn her head several times to watch, but she restrained herself and stood obediently.

——He said he won’t let me look back...

"Hoohoho-"

Soon, the dragon's roar turned into a howl.

At the same time, the clear voice also came:

"Never obey? Never obey? Huh? Do you never obey? You are quite stubborn!"

"Ho--Vicious humans, I will never give in!"

"Chong-"

"Roar!!"

"Now, Cerberus, enter!"

"Ouch——"

"Oh, you actually want to use a dog to challenge me, it's really ridiculous!"

After another moment, Ryan stood aside with his arms crossed.

A three-headed giant dog about the same size as a giant dragon stood in front of Ryan. Its dark hair was mixed with some yellow-red hair like flames, and it looked majestic.

And under the giant claws of the three-headed giant dog, it was stepping on the head of the giant dragon.

Seeing that the dragon was subdued, Ryan came to the front of the dragon's eyes, raised a magic circle in his hand, and asked with a smile: "Come in and sit down?"

Hearing this, the dragon's eyes shed tears of humiliation:

"I will obey. Isn't it okay if I obey?"

"Be obedient from now on and don't have any evil thoughts."

"Yes, Master..."

"I am not your master. Come on, come in and sit down."
