25 – Scene 025# Disciple

*

5 am.

I’m running on the playground inside the Ruelberta Mansion.

Although it is said to be a playground, it was a place used for events such as gatherings of relatives and tea parties by inviting nobles.

An empty lot that no one normally uses.

I recently started jogging in the morning here.

I also had the purpose of dieting, but I wanted to know the limits of this body.

‘Whoa… .’

It must have been 3 minutes of running.

It was definitely heavy.

You start to get out of breath.

great. it is slowly

I started running at full speed.

However, this time with ‘patience’.

[You do ‘endurance’!]

He quickly raised his pace.

I was breathing fast.

But I persevered.

Suppressed with patience.

I suppressed my gasping for breath.

It became quiet as if a stopper had been put on his heart.

‘How long can I last?’

Patience won’t make you invincible.

You have to know the limits of your ability so you can deal with it when a variable happens.

I kept running at full speed.

With the momentum to run to the limit.

Even so, my breath was as calm as when I was not running.

It was a strange sensation.

Because I felt like I could run forever.

Did it run for like 5 minutes?

My legs slowed down, and then I stopped walking.

It happened even though I didn’t mean to.

I realized that this is the limit.

‘body… It doesn’t move at all.’

It was as if the body switch had been turned off.

And as if emergency power came on after a blackout, everything seemed to stop except for the minimum physical activity to maintain life.

“Sigh… Sigh… .”

It was quite an unpleasant sensation to feel that my body was not moving while my consciousness was clear.

If you recklessly use patience when dealing with enemies, you may be exposed to such a defenseless state.

By the way… .

“Sigh… Sigh… .”

Unable to bear it any longer, I squeezed out the rest of my strength.

“Wendy.”

“under… Yes… ? Sigh… .”

“It’s been noisy next door since before.”

“Sin, sin… Sigh… I’m sorry… mandible… .”

I said I would run alone, but Wendy persisted.

It’s tiring just to come out to him at dawn, but he’s willing to run with you… .

Wendy is breathing heavily beside her.

It seems that he even bought sportswear with the intention of running in earnest.

The effort is quite imaginary.

of course… Although I only ran a little over one lap while I did five laps around the playground.

“Bae, Count… Sigh… It’s okay if you don’t wait for me… .”

I didn’t wait, I just stood there because my stamina was exhausted.

But to Wendy, it seemed like I was waiting.

“I wasn’t waiting for you. I just watched the sun rise for a while.”

The morning sun was rising just in time.

Seeing the morning sun made me feel refreshed.

No matter how much the world is inside the game, seeing the start of the day couldn’t help but feel good.

I said to the panting Wendy.

“You rest now.”

“Oh, no… I will also play with the Count… !”

“Fools… I will go first.”

I left Wendy alone and ran.

However, it was much slower than before.

I’ve already been through the limit once, so there’s no need to overdo it.

“Ehehehe… .”

Somehow I feel Wendy trailing behind me.

What makes you laugh so well?

After running for a while, I felt a strange gaze.

I frowned when I found the main character in that gaze.

Make sure to read from noble mtl com

Did it come over a wall?

A cat was looking this way.

The guy’s mottled pattern was familiar.

I let out a sigh.

“A burglar cat came in… .”

“Heh heh heh. Good morning. Count.”

A cat standing on two legs.

It was a grave day.

*

“this this… The tea is very tasty. heh heh heh I never thought there would be a car like this in the world.”

The tricolor cat put down the teacup and said.

An outdoor living room in the corner of the mansion.

I have been drinking tea with the cat since morning there.

No, to be exact, he’s a wise man disguised as a cat… .

“But the car is a little hot to me. Because it’s a cat’s tongue. hahahaha. You’d better let my tea cool off next time.”

“Myohail, this is the last tea I will serve you.”

Thanks to that, I feel like the beginning of the day, which had been perfect until now, is heading towards the bottom.

Seeing me like that, Myoheil smiled round and round.

When I look at it, I get annoyed.

The reason I hate this guy is simple.

I don’t know the inside of it at all.

It was partly because he was a cat and couldn’t read expressions, but he was originally a ‘bystander’ character.

In the original work, the main character’s entire role is to give advice on adventure and open the way.

Not much is known about his past either.

The first sage in history, who remains only as a legend, and the first head of Cremont.

And the one who becomes a spiritual creature cat and is in charge of the director of the Great Wall of Truth.

Myoheil takes care of his followers, and his daily life is to lock himself in the magic library and read books.

Even in the scenario for the online game Sora created, I haven’t seen him play an active role.

Seeing him try to intervene in the world in this way… .

‘The story is starting to change… .’

It wasn’t a very good development for me.

You don’t know what variables are waiting for you.

If Myohai puts his mind to it, he can kill me in an instant.

But I’ve already made up my mind.

From the moment I set the flow of this story in the direction of saving Tristan.

My story has no choice but to collide head-on with the original.

Of course, even with the 526 scenarios online where Tristan dies.

“The Count is oblivious to his guests.”

“Wendy. Get this stray cat out of my sight.”

“Yes?”

Wendy, who was pouring tea, hesitated.

“This is an old man, why are you doing this so sadly? Hee hee, it’s not like we’ve only seen it once or twice.”

“I’ll see you once or twice. Wendy. What are you doing? Get rid of it quickly.”

“Yeah, yeet… ! ugh… I’m sorry. I’m sorry… .”

Wendy rushed over and grabbed Myoheil.

Myoheil’s short legs struggled in the air.

“Ugh! little girl. let this go can’t write this You must respect the elders!”

“Wendy. You don’t have to respect the cat.”

“The count’s wife, it’s an order… … .”

“Hold me kindly! Doesn’t your hair fall out?”

“I’m sorry, oh oh… !”

Wendy hugged Myoheil, who was struggling, tightly so that he could not move.

That was the moment.

Pod!

“Eh?!”

Myoheil evaporated in an instant in Wendy’s arms.

“Uh huh. The Count has a quick temper.”

At one point he was eating a cookie on the table.

The sly is not a cat, but resembles a serpent.

“It’s nice that this is sweet. I’m done eating, little girl, can I ask for some more? This is really good.”

“Bae, Countess… ?”

“… … Come and go.”

“Yes, yes! I’ll go to the kitchen right now and get it… !”

With quick steps, Wendy headed for the mansion.

As the image faded, I said.

“What’s your business this morning?”

Then, as if Myohai had been waiting for him, he opened his mouth.

“I want to take Wendy as a disciple.”

Unexpected words came out.

The sage takes Wendy as a disciple?

I asked pretending not to be agitated.

“… Why?”

“Don’t you know, Count? that she has talent. In addition, she is a descendant of the legendary warrior. A wizard who will undoubtedly go down in history.”

“I refuse for that reason.”

“Hoo… ?”

He raised his eyebrows, saying that Myohai was unexpected.

“hahahaha. Count. I can make her the best wizard in the country. I have the ability and she is young and talented. This will be an opportunity that the Count will never have again.”

“Certainly not.”

“then-.”

“By the way… Myoheil.”

“Yes?”

I leaned back in my chair.

“Is that what you asked Wendy for? Or are you the only one who thought so?”

“… !”

“He’s going to go to college soon. The opportunity was provided by me, but it was done purely on his own strength. Of course you will go and make a lot of mistakes. That guy is obvious.”

I took a sip of tea.

while organizing your thoughts.

“Still, he will eventually become an outstanding wizard there. But is there any reason to go in and learn from you?”

“hahahaha… You ate this one. The Count is certainly right, but… .”

Myoheil scratched his head and continued talking.

“The little girl is a descendant of warriors. Even if you hide the fact, it will eventually come out. When that time comes, no one will leave her alone. Must… Fate won’t let her go.”

I felt a strange power in Myohail’s words.

“It is a fate too great for her to bear. That is why I want to teach her a way to survive.”

A way for Wendy to survive.

That was what I wanted too.

Because I also didn’t want her to die.

“good. If Wendy wants it, I won’t object.”

“thank you.”

“However, I also have one condition.”

“What is?”

“Protect him no matter what.”

It was a very short moment at those words, but it seemed that Myohail’s eyes were filled with sadness.

Myohail got up from the chair.

“… hahahaha. The Count seems to have forgotten, but even though I have become obsolete, I am the first man in history to be listed as a wise man.”

Then he put his hand on his chest and swore.

“This sage Myohail promises the Count. I will definitely protect the Count’s precious attendant until the end of my life.”

Saying that, Myoheil’s face seemed somehow determined, so I just nodded.
