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 I say,"

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 as such. 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, it is because he really cannot spare time to do other things. .

Tiamat is the goddess of creation and a perfect beast. It is not easy for him to cast a sleeping illusion on her.

Not only that, King Gilgamesh forcibly summoned the seven servants to the world, resulting in serious loss of magic power. Not only could he not maintain his peak state, but the magic power he could provide to them was also insufficient.

So Ushiwakamaru and other servants were given flesh again, so that they could use their own magic power as much as possible, and he, who was in a special situation, could only find ways to replenish his magic power every night.

Of course, this was a kind of enjoyment for him.

In short, although Merlin seemed to be doing nothing in the eyes of the outside world, in fact, he was indeed fully supporting the restoration of human principles, but he had never explained it to outsiders.

It was precisely because of this that Gilgamesh, the only one who knew the truth, acquiesced to his laziness and gave him the right to act freely.

And now, in addition to Gilgamesh, there is another person who knows the truth, Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Let's get back to the topic.

Since he was completely seen through, Merlin could only helplessly spread his hands and sighed:

"Okay, okay, there's nothing I can do. I volunteered to help."

"Is this what you call asking for trouble?"

But after sighing, he quickly recovered and smiled again:

"Then, considering how hard I've worked, can you agree to a small request of mine?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka said a little warily:

"What request?"

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

Merlin smiled sincerely and said:

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

As he said this, his eyes moved slightly downwards and finally stopped at the back of Fujimaru Ritsuka's right hand.

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

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

There was a hint of surprise in his tone, and he smiled with interest:

"Although I had already noticed something unusual, I didn't expect that there would be such an interesting situation hidden under the cloak."

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

Come on!
