EP.113 #Afterlife3 – Stories you don’t need to know (1)
People say that EW’s origins stem from the extraordinary education Edward Whyte received and his outstanding intellect.
Half right and half wrong.
Edward’s intellect was outstanding.
However, he did not receive an education different from others.
The education of the Duke of Wight followed the universal education style of the Arman Kingdom.
Still, what makes him different from others?
Why is he special, why is he the only one who thinks differently, and why is he the only one who makes such huge changes on his own?
To find the answer, we had to go to the Duke of Wight’s garden when Edward was still a child.
I had to tell a story about a woman Wight met there.
“Sister!”
“Oh, are you here, kid?”
It was a story of an encounter whose identity no one knew, and therefore was unimportant.
*
The Duke of Wight’s garden boasted unrivaled beauty, to the point where it was praised as being the most beautiful on the continent.
The budget of a small estate is only the amount spent on the garden each year.
A natural fortress that was built to protect the garden and has been developed and repaired for hundreds of years.
Therefore, in the world, entering there was considered a proof of some kind of qualification and pride.
Of course, I was not just in awe of the beauty of the garden.
What the world wanted was proof that he was an ally of the Duke of Wight, the owner of the beautiful garden and the owner of the Armin Circular Railway.
Someone bowed to the Duchess of Wight as she entered the garden.
Another sought to establish a friendly relationship with her, while another traded vast amounts of wealth.
If I explain up to that point, there will be nothing more to say about the location of the garden.
However, the important thing is that since it is a garden with such a special political status, the number of people who can enter it is truly limited.
There was a person who was promised unlimited access to such a garden by reason of his birth.
That is Edward Whyte.
He was the heir to the Duke of Wight.
“Confucius! Are you going to the garden again?”
“huh!”
Edward loved the scent of flowers in the garden.
I loved the quiet atmosphere there, and I also loved the comfortable atmosphere.
But the reason he visits the garden particularly often these days was no different.
“sister!”
“OK.”
This is because a strange woman who appeared in the garden immediately caught his interest.
She was a nervous-looking woman with red hair and light pink eyes.
He always sat with his legs crossed when he sat down, and he had a habit of swearing whenever he opened his mouth.
Also, whenever we met, he seemed to enjoy reading a lot.
Edward didn’t know who she was.
No, no one in the Dukedom of Wight knew who she was.
Even my mother, the owner of the mansion.
Edward told many people that there was a woman here, but no one believed him.
This is the conclusion that came to mind.
“Fairy sister! “What are you reading today?”
That she is a fairy.
“Because I’m not a fairy.”
“huh!”
“Ugh, it’s done. “What am I talking to you about?”
Edward laughed bitterly.
She closed the book and laughed.
What followed was daily business.
“Chess today too?”
“huh!”
She played board games with Edward whenever he found her in the garden.
It wasn’t just a game.
There has always been betting in games.
“What will you do if you win today?”
When Edward wins at chess, she imprints in his mind a scene that Edward does not know.
Isn’t this truly a fairy-like talent?
Not only that.
“What do you want to eat today?”
“shaved ice!”
“Come on, Horn Lake.”
Hahaha!
When she shouted the spell ‘Horn Lake’, the snowflakes that rose from the air took the shape of a beautiful woman.
[Yes! Did you call me? master! Finally, I have a mission… .]
“Change some ice. “Please make some shaved ice for him.”
[Whoops… !]

“Make it quick and get out. cold.”
[Quaaaagh!!!]
Of course, the Snowflake Woman was so pathetically foolish that she vomited ice out of her mouth and left, but isn’t it certain that she has the talent to manipulate fairies?
Anyway, it’s amazing and fun.
Thinking like that, Edward took out the chessboard.
“What are you working so hard to see today?”
“The tank I showed you before!”
“Oh, war history? “The young guy likes to be pretty cruel.”
“The tank is cool!”
“Military taste? “Oh my gosh, that’s not a good thing.”
We chatted and moved on.
Astute Edward noticed that she did not always perform as well as he saw when she played chess with him.
That felt quite pleasant to Edward.
It was a feeling of being cared for.
At that moment, Edward felt the happiest he had ever felt in his life.
It was that kind of day too.
The day I was struggling to talk to the red-haired woman to gain new knowledge.
The woman did not give up easily that day.
No, there wasn’t even the slightest gap to be seen.
As if he wanted to win.
As if they were going to end something different from usual.
And my intuition was right.
“Well, I won.”
The woman spoke as she defeated Edward’s King.
Edward felt devastated.
I lifted my head in a daze and saw a woman smiling languidly.
“Sorry. “Today is the last time I play, so I have to win.”
I’m the type of person who can’t live with losing.
The woman who added those words stood up from her seat.
Edward felt his heart pound at the thought of never seeing her again.
So I asked out of unexplained sadness.
“Why are you going?”
The woman said to him:
“I came here because someone was looking for me. “From the very beginning.”
It seems like it’s a little difficult, and it’s something that makes you sigh.
“I started learning housework in earnest, but my dad has a lot to worry about. “I sent you a directory to ask for an escort, and one of those names was found somewhere in this land.”
“escort… ?”
“Yes, Howie. But… The guy Dad pointed out wasn’t even born yet? “He was sound asleep in his mother’s stomach.”
Although the words were incomprehensible, I realized that she had not achieved her purpose.
“What can I do? I’ll have to come back again in a few decades. Of course, at that time, you will be recruited as a subordinate, not as a guard.”
As she spoke, the chess piece she rolled in her hand was ‘Knight.’
“So goodbye. “I’m done with my business, so I have to go.”
Edward wanted to hold her.
But I couldn’t do that.
This is something I know because I am smart.
The woman was someone who would not be caught even if she was caught.
Because she was like a queen who had the whole world at her feet.
That’s why I just asked.
“We can see each other again…” ?”
She said with a grin.
“If there is a connection. And if you become a wonderful adult.”
That’s how Edward’s dream came to be that day.
In the coming days, become a wonderful adult.
It was that moment.
Jieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee…
The air split and a white door appeared.
The person who came out with footsteps again and again was a handsome man with pure white hair and gray eyes.
He was handsome.
So much so that even after Edward became an adult, he never forgot it, and for the rest of his life he never saw anyone as handsome as him again.
Wearing clothes that looked like a priest and a harmonious combination of white and gold, he opened his mouth with a white smile.
“ari… .”
“What are you splitting? “You idiot.”
“… “Yeah, sorry.”
“Do not laugh. “I feel like shit.”
“Haha, do you know that you’re the only one who says that to me?”
“My dad, mom, and your girlfriend have blonde hair too?”
“Everyone is just joking.”
“Well, that’s fine. “Your girlfriend is no joke.”
The woman frowned.
The man shrugged his shoulders as if he didn’t care.
“The Chairman is looking for you. “Let’s go now.”
“I know, I’ve finished preparing.”
The woman made eye contact with Edward one last time.
Edward said, clenching his fists in confusion.
“See you again!” “I will definitely become a wonderful adult!”
The woman smiled and answered.
“Okay, try to win properly then.”
Just like that, the woman and the white man disappeared beyond the door that appeared in the air.
A special meeting, and the transmission of special knowledge.
‘If you’re a cool adult, you’ll be the richest person in the world!’
Edward’s special days were over.
*
“… That’s the story.”
Edward muttered, recalling the past.
Dalin said to him:
“Is Edward an idiot? “I’m ten years old now, and I don’t believe in that anymore.”
“That’s right, Edward, idiot.”
“haha… .”
A vain smile appeared on Edward’s lips.
This is why I suddenly feel sadder when I reminisce about the past.
‘I definitely wanted to become a cool adult.’
Why am I acting like a babysitter for the kids?
Edward’s situation was miserable.
Elric’s daughter, Darlene Portman’s neck, on all fours.
Pretending to be Elbers’ daughter Ilia Graham’s mutt while on a leash.
He was clearly a living toy at this moment.
‘I wasn’t coming to Wibin.’
Why is that damn shareholder management going through so much trouble?
The good news is that Elric’s three-year-old son, Leman Portman, is quietly reading picture books.
Edward looked at the sky with a blank face and muttered to himself.
‘Sister, can we meet again?’
I didn’t know if the answer would come back.
At least that’s what I thought until that moment.
