Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today.

"【the power of love……"

Seeing that Fujimaru Ritsuka's expression didn't look fake, Merlin murmured and pondered for a moment, then smiled helplessly:

"What a pity. That's probably an ability I'll never be able to master."

"After all, I'm just a dream demon."

To be precise, Merlin is a hybrid of human and incubus.

Although they are both mixed-race, Gilgamesh identifies more with his identity as a human and chooses to live as a human, thereby bidding farewell to the gods;

Merlin believed that he was just a dream demon mixed with human blood, and he completely inherited the characteristics of the dream demon.

He is unable to produce any emotions of his own and can only feed on human emotions and express his own thoughts by consuming stored emotions, which is very different from the way humans exist.

The reason why Merlin chose to help the Chaldeans save humanity is because he likes to read the stories/history woven by humans, not because he likes the existence of humans.

only--

"That's what it says,"

Fujimaru Ritsuka said with a smile:

"But Merlin still has a part of humanity to some extent, right?"

Merlin was startled when he heard this, then he laughed dumbly and said:

"...Well, who knows."

Without continuing to dwell on this topic, Merlin turned his attention to the sleeping Tiamat again, with a trace of novelty flashing in his eyes, and said with a smile:

"I have to say, the effect is really immediate."

As he spoke, he suddenly changed the subject, looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka again, and said with a smile:

"Since you can keep Tiamat asleep so easily, then I might as well leave this job to you from now on!"

"……Eh?"

Merlin stretched himself comfortably and said:

"Haha, I suddenly feel so much more relaxed!"

"Hey, wait a minute!"

Looking at Merlin with a relaxed smile, Fujimaru Ritsuka reacted and said with a black line:

"Don't make your own decisions there alone!"

"I can't stay here forever, not to mention, I can't just come if I want to, okay?!"

She herself only accidentally came here in a dream while sleeping. Unlike the previous "Transformation" that also appeared with her body, this time it was more in the form of a "Dream" when she went to the singularity of the Lower Mainland.

In other words, her body should still be lying on the bed in her room at this time.

She is just an ordinary person. If she stays here for several days in a row, she may have to stay here forever.

More importantly, she had no way to control when she dreamed or whether she came to this place.

"Existing in the form of [dream]...is this actually the case..."

After listening to Fujimaru Ritsuka's explanation, Merlin looked her up and down curiously several times again, and then suddenly asked:

"Are you also a dream demon?"

"certainly not!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka firmly denied it and solemnly declared:

"I'm 100% human, thank you."

"One hundred percent human..."

Merlin glanced at her with an inexplicable expression. He didn't think that any ordinary person could dream of entering the Sea of ​​Imaginary Numbers and calm Tiamat easily.

However, he finally chuckled twice, nodded vaguely and said:

"Haha, let's just treat it like this."

"Hey, hey, hey, just think of it like this. What does "伱" mean? Tell me clearly!..."

Automatically ignoring Fujimaru Ritsuka's dissatisfied protest, Merlin lowered his head slightly and thought for a while, and suddenly had an idea.

"Or else this is it!"

He looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka and suggested with a smile:

"If your appearance here is just a [dream], then this happens to be my professional field, big brother!"

"I haven't tried it yet, but I should be able to get you here every night on a consistent basis."

"So, this job is half of ours. I will still be responsible for hypnotizing Tiamat during the day, and you will be responsible for guarding Tiamat at night. How about that?"

"Um……"

Fujimaru Ritsuka's brows were wrinkled high, with resistance and reluctance written on his face, as well as a trace of tangle.

She didn't doubt Merlin's ability at all, and believed that he could do it.

But facing such a job that was suddenly thrown at her, she thought that her sweet sleep would be taken away from her for a long time, and she really wanted to refuse! ! !

However... after struggling for a while, she finally nodded and said:

"Okay, I'll just agree."

Hearing this, Merlin raised the corners of his mouth slightly, showing a 'planned' expression, and said happily:

"Thank you Miss Gudazi for your help..."

"but!"

Before Merlin could finish speaking, she smiled at Merlin again:

"Now that you've got rid of such a big burden, Merlin, you have no reason to continue to be lazy, right?"

"...Ah?"

Merlin's smile suddenly froze, and under the gaze of the other party's half-smiling eyes, he sighed helplessly:

"This is really, completely seen through."

Since he appeared in the world, he has been doing nothing most of the time, leaving most people with the impression that he likes to be lazy. On the one hand, it is because he really likes to be lazy, and on the other hand, because he really cannot spare time to do other things. .

As the goddess of creation, Tiamat is also a complete beast. If she wants to cast a sleeping illusion on her, it is not an easy task even for him.

Not only that, King Gilgamesh forcibly summoned the Seven Riders to appear in the world, resulting in a serious loss of magic power. Not only was he unable to maintain his peak condition, but the magic power he could provide to them was also completely insufficient.

Therefore, Ushiwakamaru and other servants were given bodies, allowing them to use their own magic power as much as possible. However, he was in a special situation and could only find a way to replenish the magic power every night.

Of course, this is just a kind of enjoyment for him.

All in all, although it seemed to the outside world that Merlin had always been doing nothing, in fact, he was indeed fully supporting the restoration of human nature, but he had never explained it to outsiders.

It is precisely because of this that Gilgamesh, the only one who knows the truth, will acquiesce in his laziness and give him the authority to move freely.

And now, besides Gilgamesh, there is another person who knows the truth, Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Back to the point.

Now that he had been completely seen through, Merlin could only helplessly spread his hands and sighed:

"Okay, okay, I can't help it. I came here voluntarily to help."

"Is this what is called bringing the blame upon yourself?"

But after sighing, he quickly recovered and smiled again:

"Then, considering how hard I have worked so hard, can you grant me a small request?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka said a little warily:

"What request?"

"Please don't look at me so warily. It's really just a small request."

Merlin showed a sincere smile and said:

"Miss Gudazi, can I know your real name?"

As he said this, his eyes moved slightly downward, finally stopping on the back of Fujimaru Ritsuka's right hand.

After the cloak was removed, the bright red mark on the back of the opponent's right hand was extremely eye-catching.

There is no doubt that it is the mark called the Command Seal, which is the absolute proof of being a Master.

There was a bit of surprise in his tone, and he smiled interestingly:

"Although I had noticed some abnormalities a long time ago, I didn't expect that there was such an interesting situation hidden under the cloak."

"Miss Gudazi, you shouldn't be from this world, right?"

Come spicy!
