36 – Scene 036# One Future

*

When I open my eyes, I see a familiar ceiling.

The ornate marble ceiling I’ve seen since I became Tristan Ruelberta.

I got up.

Then the bright sunlight pours down on your face from the window.

It was morning.

I stretched

how long did you sleep

My head was clear.

I don’t know how long it’s been since I slept so well.

by the way… .

Something was strange.

If my memory serves me right, I had a bloody battle with Blanche not too long ago.

And with a fatal wound in the abdomen, he barely maintained his near-moribund body with ‘endurance’.

“I was lucky… .”

It felt like walking a tightrope on the line of life.

Except for the perseverance enough to sustain his life, he had to use all his strength to deal with Blanche.

If I hadn’t maintained that balance, I would have been killed by her.

But I survived the fight.

I can’t even remember later.

I even remember asking Wendy to call a carriage… . So, did she bring me to the mansion?

I lifted my pajamas and checked the stabbed abdomen.

“……Hmm?”

Not a single wound was visible there.

It was then.

smart.

“Count. Are you awake?”

The moment I saw the woman who opened the door and came in, I couldn’t help but feel crumpled.

“Wendy… .”

“Yes. Count.”

A girl who became Tristan’s exclusive maid at a young age… what did you say

Wendy was no longer a girl.

had become a lady.

“Did you have a good sleep?”

Wendy brushed her hair on the side and smiled.

With a face that exudes a unique childlike innocence.

Her hair, neatly tied in two pigtails, glistened in the sunlight.

Her beauty was comparable to that of Princess Bella.

There was no girl who was a crybaby and a dreg.

There was only Wendy, a lady full of composure.

Wendy looked at me and smiled.

“I guess you were very tired yesterday? Count. Seeing that you said you didn’t need night support and then fell asleep.”

I put my hands on my temples.

An indescribable annoyance came over me.

“… Come here.”

“Yes. Count.”

Wendy walked this way again and again.

With a coquettish pace that made me wonder if it was the Wendy I had seen so far.

“Come closer.”

“Yes. As commanded.”

Wendy climbed onto the bed.

Her eyes were staring at me.

I reached out and stroked the boy’s cheek.

“Wendy.”

“Yes. Please give me the order. The Count – Ayaaat?! Why are you here!?”

pinched

“Enough with the cheap skits.”

“… … you don’t know what shit There’s no way I, who has all my personalities, can’t act, right?”

“Wendy is not such a frivolous woman. Michaela.”

At those words, Michaela, who took the form of Wendy, laughed.

“Now it is. But it could be different depending on how you do it.”

“Is it different?”

“yes. My current appearance is one of Wendy’s many futures. how is it? Isn’t it pretty?”

Michaela jumped onto the bed and turned around to see Wendy.

The skirt swayed precariously at the level of my gaze.

Will Wendy become like this after about 10 years?

“It sure is… .”

I felt like I was seeing a grown-up daughter, so I tried to get my heart moving.

Is this what daddy feels like… .

However, Michaela spoke in a slightly subdued voice.

“What… It’s a happy future that shouldn’t exist for her originally.”

I understood what Michaela was talking about.

In addition to the original story, Wendy in the game scenario is a character who inevitably dies.

Her life is full of unhappiness.

Born in a poor farming family, he grew up struggling, moved to the city, and got a job in the Ruelberta family, which has a reputation as the worst aristocrat.

From then on, Wendy is severely abused by Tristan.

The only future that exists for her is to die from being beaten, sick or dying in an accident.

Even though she has the lineage of a hero who saves the world, the world does not save her.

“This time, she has a new future. It was a future that didn’t exist just a short time ago.”

At that moment, Wendy was nowhere and a blonde girl was standing there.

It was the true form of Michaela, the god of another world with all of her personalities.

she grinned.

“Hey, it’s the future you created.”

“I?”

“yes. Not only her, but you have already created a new future for many characters. For example, something like this.”

As Michaela clapped, the lights in my room went out.

And countless lights appeared in the air.

Like colorful fireflies they roamed between me and her.

“It’s part of my future. The future of all characters is like this. And… .”

Floating lights gathered around her.

However, all of them were dull in color, and among them I could see that the light was dimmed.

“These are Wendy’s future. Isn’t it gloomy just by looking at it?”

I nodded.

All of her futures were dark or tainted.

“And… This is the future you created.”

What Michaela held out from her hand was a rainbow-colored light.

The light seemed to warm the surroundings, resembling Wendy’s magical power.

“I’m glad she has a happy future, even if it’s just one.”

And Michaela smiled.

“I think I know a little bit why he sent you.”

he… is that guy

The absolute god Michaela believes in is only my sister.

He is the original author of this world and the one who pushed me into this world.

Michaela even looked ecstatic, as if she had interpreted an oracle herself.

“As expected, there is a reason for everything he does. Do you understand what I mean?”

No, I have no idea.

“Rather than that, where is this place?”

“It’s like a paradise. It should be said that it is neither this world nor the other world.”

“But do you have any business with me?”

“The dragon… ? What are you talking about? Shit, you came to find me-.”

Michaela tilted her head, then clapped her hands as if she understood what I meant.

“Ah, just because you’re here means you’re on the verge of being searched for.”

“what?”

right before dying?

what is this again

Michaela chuckled.

“You’ll soon find out what I mean. keep in mind I will always be waiting for you at the end of your limits.”

Suddenly the room started to darken.

The lights around them flickered one by one.

“Because I am your ordeal.”

No voice came out.

I can only hear Michael’s voice.

“Anyway, I think I’ll be lucky enough to survive this time… I don’t know what will happen next. always be nervous crappy.”

match.

With the sound of applause, I opened my eyes.

I saw the ceiling again.

The difference from before was that it was an unfamiliar ceiling.

pure white ceiling.

what?

“… !”

I tried to get up, but the pain in my stomach made me frown.

I tried to touch my stomach with my right hand, but it wouldn’t move.

“… Wendy.”

Wendy was sleeping next to me.

In the form of a young girl, not an adult, she held my right hand tightly and fell asleep.

Only then did I realize that I was in a hospital room.

The stab wound to the abdomen was bandaged.

A wound that could have cost him his life.

It seems that I eventually lost my mind when I reached the limit of ‘patience’.

Wendy’s face was also nonsensical.

Her eyes were swollen from crying, her maid’s uniform was stained with hardened blood, and there were many minor wounds on her arms and legs, probably from a fall.

I don’t remember, but I could guess what was going on.

I quietly looked into Wendy’s face, who was soundly asleep.

On that face, the image of Wendy, who had grown up as a young lady that Michaela had shown her, overlapped.

I’m sure this guy will grow into such a beautiful figure when he grows up.

He put his hand on her young cheek.

It was warm.

“Ooooh… I’m sorry for being ugly… .”

Wendy groaned and pulled my hand.

It seems like he’s having a nightmare.

Having fully appreciated her bewildered appearance, I pinched her cheek.

“Ahhhhh?! Whoa!?”

“Stop getting up.”

“… huh?”

Half-closed eyes looked up at me.

And it didn’t take long for her sleepy eyes to widen.

“Bae, count nui-woop?!”

“Don’t scream because your head is ringing.”

I quickly covered her mouth with the pillow next to me.

“Oops… Ugh! Fuha!”

“Noisy is disgusting. so… .”

“Bae, it’s Countess!!!”

Wendy hugged me while crying.

I tried to avoid it, but I couldn’t avoid it because my body hurt.

This guy isn’t listening to me at all… .

“I’m glad… I’m glad…” . Whoa… .”

I’m out of breath… .

I didn’t know there was such power in such a small body.

“Don’t make a fuss. Because I am alive.”

“Huh… Well, I thought the Count was dead… The doctor also said that if I did something wrong, I would have almost died… Whoops.”

yes. I almost lived and died.

I endured it as much as possible with ‘patience’, but eventually the limit came.

It was good to have endured until then.

Bella kept talking to me, so I had a hard time shaking it off.

If it wasn’t for that, I would’ve been rude enough to fall in front of her.

“How long has it been since I fell?”

“He collapsed the other day in the evening… You didn’t wake up until this evening… Black.”

I couldn’t move as Wendy kept hanging on to me.

It’s really embarrassing.

It can’t be pushed away with magic… .

I had no choice but to stay there until Wendy calmed down.

While stroking the little boy’s head.

By the way… There seems to be a strange smell coming from somewhere… ?

Looking around, I finally realized the cause.

“Wendy.”

“Yeah… ? sniff… .”

Wendy swallowed her tears and looked at me.

I said to the loyal guy who has been by my side since the day before yesterday.

“Please wash up and come.”
