Episode 64
* * *
The villa where Jack and his party stayed was quite large.
It was a three-story building with a swimming pool on the rooftop, and even though the family had grown considerably, there were still plenty of empty rooms.
Charlotte, with a complicated expression, slowly climbs the stairs.
Not only was his expression complicated, but his inner feelings were also complicated.
‘Did I do something wrong?’
After the opening ceremony, I waited for Jack at the mansion.
Jack said he would be here soon, but he didn’t come for over thirty minutes.
At that time, Thanos started training with a sword, and Charlotte, who was watching him blankly, asked Thanos to teach her some sword skills.
That’s how the sparring began.
Soon Jack came and complimented him.
It felt good to be complimented, but Jack’s aura was strange.
I guess I should say he looks a little angry.
At least that’s what Charlotte felt.
‘Is it because I sparred without permission?’
Charlotte arrived at the rooftop and opened the rooftop door.
Even though it was a very nice view with a large swimming pool and a panoramic view of Ascension, his expression was not relaxed.
‘That’s right. It’s my fault. The boss is probably upset because of me. What should I do? Should I go and apologize?’
If it were normal, I would have gone down right away, but Jack said.
Stay with Cell.
‘Let’s wait and apologize when the boss comes up.’
Charlotte’s thinking was simple.
Jack’s orders are the top priority, Charlotte’s own feelings are the bottom priority.
Charlotte raised her head with a complex and subtle expression.
Front terrace.
In that wide space, a girl of about the same age wearing white clothes was sitting on a chair.
Charlotte sat down across from Cell without saying anything.
Was I lost in deep thought?
Cell, who felt the presence of others late, jumps up from his spot and immediately kneels on the floor.
Charlotte was rather taken aback by that reaction.
“Why… why?”
-I’m sorry… I’m sorry. I didn’t know you were coming, so I didn’t greet you.
Charlotte may have been young, but she wasn’t stupid.
This kid.

Jack said that when he heard the word dragon, he was angry because it reminded him of his ‘uncle’ Balaktus.
He’s a different guy from Balactus.
I still had a bit of a wariness, but that has now melted away.
Submission, submission.
Fear. Terror.
Charlotte’s eyes grew cold without her knowing it, seeing Cell’s appearance with all sorts of mixed emotions.
Seeing Cell still shivering with his head bowed and kneeling, Charlotte unconsciously reached out and hugged him.
Should we call it a case of mutual sympathy?
Charlotte didn’t hear the details of what happened to Sel.
I didn’t even try to find out.
But, that was a wrong idea.
Is there anything I can do to help you?
Although Charlotte is still young, it is clear that Charlotte is growing up.
* * *
Guinness said that Cell had been on the rooftop terrace since morning.
I told Cell to go there, so I thought Charlotte would be on the rooftop too, but why are they hugging?
“Have you become close friends?”
[Wouldn’t it be correct to say that only one side became close?]
I completely agree with what the teacher said.
Well, it can’t be helped.
Aside from the fact that they were crouching on the floor, hugging each other, leaving a perfectly good chair behind, why was Sel shaking so scared, and why did Charlotte look like she was about to cry?
I didn’t spend that much time down there, but I’m really curious.
First, I walked towards the two.
Charlotte, who noticed me first, came up to me and said:
“Boss, I’m sorry.”
I’m really sorry to say this to Charlotte, but I can’t answer.
My gaze was directed behind Charlotte, towards Cell.
“… … Hmm.”
[hmm…….]
It’s a situation where you have no choice but to swallow your saliva.
Charlotte turns her head belatedly and quickly approaches Cell.
Cell, prostrating himself toward me, with his head pressed completely against the floor, as if he needed permission to even raise his head, in a posture of submission.

I don’t quite understand the way Charlotte tries to somehow raise Cell up and the way she holds on with all her might and assumes a posture of submission.
[It doesn’t match.]
I turned my head slightly and looked at my teacher.
[Last night, the child who harbored hatred became a completely different child.]
I’m not a scholar, but I’ve heard a few things here and there.
People who have suffered great psychological shock sometimes act as if they have lost their sense of self and are crazy. Why does this idea come to mind now?
First, I approached the front of the cell.

Even then, the guy couldn’t raise his head.
He was still shivering, and I didn’t know what to say, so I just picked him up with one hand and held him in my arms.
Of course, I lifted Charlotte with my other hand.
however.
“You’re sorry?”
Charlotte lowers her head with a guilty look.
“You were upset because I trained without your permission. I won’t do it again.”
I’m going to go back.
“If you want to practice, then do it. You don’t need permission to do that. And hey, kid, why am I getting angry? I wouldn’t get angry even if you hit my head with a wooden sword. Don’t you know me?”
“… … So you’re not angry?”
“Yeah, why worry about that? I just feel bad for Thanos training so foolishly.”
Oh, and don’t hit my head with a wooden sword.
I just brushed aside my true feelings and smiled.
“By the way, I’ve confirmed that you have talent in swordsmanship. How about we practice magic together later tonight?”
Are you feeling better?
Charlotte nods, laughing.
He stroked Charlotte’s head with one hand.
Taking a deep breath, he turned his gaze towards the little dragon in question this time.
“hmm…….”
A little dragon trembling.
What on earth do I do with this?
“You said you ate all the steak I made for you this morning. Was it delicious?”
-……yes.
“What would you like to eat separately?”
-… … .
Oh, really.
“Hey, who’s eating you? Why are you so weak?”
-… … .
“You were acting all shaky at me last night, and now it’s only been a day and you’ve become so weird. Are you sick?”
Cell shakes his head.
“Why? Do you think the guys here would cut off your arm like the guys in that lab did?”
Still, Cell had his head bowed.
Just then, I glanced at my teacher to ask for advice.
-… … A blackened devil.
I turned my head again.

A blackened demon?
-Change the earth and the sky.
I ended up laughing hysterically.
Oh, that’s it?
“Will it destroy the world?”
-……yes.
It was a sudden remark from Cell, and my words in response to it were also sudden.
But it wasn’t for the teacher who was listening.
[This is the will that the three lords left behind before they died.]
Of course, the Lord here refers to the Dragon Lord.
400 years ago, there were exactly three lords.
Bahamut has exactly four lords.
And Bolimot is the 5th lord.
The Third Lord, who was the strongest of the many dragons at the time and had powers that surpassed those of the Fourth and Fifth Lords, rebelled against his master’s will and attempted to kill him.
And, of course, I was left behind by my teacher.
What’s funny is that every time he uses his soul power, he sees the future.
That guy left a will before he died.
‘In the near future, a blackened demon will change the heavens and the earth and destroy the world.’
therefore.
“The blackened demon was me, and he was afraid that I would destroy the world?”
-… … .
I guess that’s right.
however.
“That prophecy, that’s bullshit.”
-……yes?
“It’s all bullshit, destruction is a piece of cake.”
-But the prophecies of the three great lords have never gone wrong.
Oh, you’re a dragon too?
Interestingly enough, our little dragon’s voice was slowly regaining its strength.
I guess this is how I should appease him.
however.
“Who said I’ve never been off track even once?”
-yes?
“I guess you didn’t hear from Bahamut. The prophecies the three Lords made were all fabricated.”
-yes??
“That’s just some nonsense they made up to deify the dragon race.”

-ah…….
He leaned back against the back of the chair and roughly brushed Cell’s hair away.
“You were worrying about such useless things. So. Are you mentally okay?”
-Yes, there is no problem, but you are not going to eat me, are you?
“How did the story turn out like that? Why would I eat you?”
-… … That’s right.
“But it’s lunchtime now, so I want you to speak properly. How was the steak you had for breakfast?”
-Oh, it was delicious.
I ended up laughing faintly.
“That’s good. Well, let’s just have steak for lunch, and I’ll tell the chef to make a new dish starting tomorrow. Eat something delicious and cheer up. Okay?”
Cell nods.
“By the way, did you exchange names with each other? I think we did it roughly, but let’s do it one more time. This is Charlotte, the one who will later become the Vampire Queen, and this is Cell, the brat who will become the 6th Dragon Lord.”
-Dr… Dragon Lord? Me?
He put the surprised Cell and the faintly smiling Charlotte down on the floor.
“I’ll introduce Thanos to you later when we eat dinner. First, go down and ask Guinness to make dinner.”
The two kids escaped from the rooftop.
As I was sitting on the terrace chair, the teacher approached me.
Then he sits in the chair across from him.
[Even lying is top-notch.]
I closed my eyes slowly.
[The Third Lord was a very unique guy. Unlike you and I who use the spirit as a substitute for mana, he only uses the spirit for mental abilities.]
“… … .”
[All the prophecies he made were short prophecies. It will rain tomorrow, the day after tomorrow there will be a conflict somewhere, etc. Those prophecies were countless, and they were definitely never wrong.]
I opened my eyes.
The teacher looks at me with an expressionless face.
[The only prophecy he made that didn’t come true.]
therefore.
“Master, do you think I will destroy the world?”
[In my view, at least in this world, there is no one else who can discuss destruction other than you.]
It’s a strange statement that sounds like a compliment, but isn’t really a compliment.
“Well, no matter how I look at it, that prophecy seems to have gone astray.”
[… … .]
“If that prophecy were true, wouldn’t I have destroyed the world in my past life?”
[Didn’t you?]
“Yes. He just destroyed one country and then committed suicide.”
[suicide?]
“I had no reason to live any longer. I didn’t want to live, so that prophecy was definitely a false prophecy. Otherwise, the ‘blackened devil’ probably doesn’t refer to me.”
The teacher, who had been silent for a moment, speaks out.
[Yeah, that’s right.]
