A true hero marries a man by his appearance [Comprehensive]

"..."

How did it become like this.

Wait a minute, although the relationship has progressed again, and at the "adults' time" at night, there is no need for him to invite, Eddie can take the initiative to ask him to go out for fun at night——

After the joy passed, Merlin was still a little caught off guard for what happened next.

So... how did it become like this?

So, first explain what they are doing at this time.

The place I am currently in, as long as I look at it, I can tell that it is the scene of a dance party.

Perhaps some squire generously opened up his private house, so that handsome young men and beautiful young girls could gather together and enjoy the joy of heartbeat and holding hands and dancing. At this time, the spacious hall was already crowded. full of people.

Because there is no identity requirement for the guests, no invitations are needed, you can come if you want, and there are two strange faces mixed in, so it shouldn't be eye-catching...

How is it possible!

Eddie alone is imposing enough, and it is still the kind of aura that will scare enthusiastic men and women into running away.Before Merlin figured out what he wanted to do, he had no choice but to use illusions to cover up a little bit, so that even if others saw them, they would spontaneously ignore them.

At this time, they were on the second floor overlooking the hall, looking down with their arms on the half-short railing and waist hooked.Among the crowded crowd, the girls' long dresses, which are as colorful as flowers, are the most beautiful.

If it was the former Merlin, he would have already begun to observe the youthful and energetic human women with great interest at this time, and he might have to make a few professional comments before Shi Shi ran over to a beautiful lady. strike up a conversation.

However, at this time he was confused.After looking at the crowd below for a while, he turned his head and looked at the man who was staring down intently, feeling even more stunned.

Eddie was actually watching seriously.

Yes, that is "serious".

The object he was looking at was the beautiful and soft woman that Merlin was keen to tease. However, because the expression was too serious, he didn't have the slightest emotion that a man should have when looking at a woman, and it seemed very strange instead.

Then, after watching him earnestly for a long time, he finally spoke.

It’s okay not to speak, but when he opened his mouth, he said amazingly:

"Hey, Merlin, what type do you like?"

Merlin was looking at him intently at the moment, and when he was asked this question suddenly, he subconsciously said all that was in his mind: "The one with long hair, tall—— taller than me, looks strong but should actually be quite thin , straightforward, cheerful, and sincere in dealing with others... Huh??!"

Stop now!But the most important part has all slipped out.Merlin's heart was shocked, but he hadn't realized why he was so flustered, and was about to cut off the topic, when Eddie said again: "Oh, not bad, so you like extroverted women."

Merlin: "...Ah, woman. Well, woman..."

His mood became really complicated.

It's like a small boat drifting in the middle of a stormy sea, and being overturned by a wave from time to time, the feeling, not to mention how ups and downs it is.

It's really complicated, and even a little sour: "What about you, what type do you like?"

Eddie: "..."

The man whose upper body was almost lying on the railing was silent for a long time before saying, "...that looks good."

Merlin: "Huh?"

"Ah what, she's just a good-looking beauty. But, except for a few goddesses who are rotten from the bone, I generally respect women, and I don't have the idea of ​​wanting to be together, after all , I still like men."

Eddie said it quite openly, without hiding anything.After getting acquainted with Merlin, he can say anything quite casually, joking occasionally, and he doesn't pay attention to propriety.

Just like-

"I found out after a closer look that you are also quite good-looking. It's just..."

Merlin: "..."

Merlin was completely dumbfounded.

I don't know if I was frightened by such an unscrupulous declaration, or was stunned by the surprise that fell from the sky-I'm sorry.He only heard the first half of Eddie's sentence, and completely missed the twist in the joke.

However, Eddie's next words made him sober again.

"However, shouldn't you also like beautiful beauties like me? Although you like women, this is different from me."

Eddie frowned slightly, and glanced down for the last time, but still couldn't find a suitable partner, so he could only retract his gaze, and said regretfully: "I should have changed the place if I knew it earlier. Cheerful women with long hair."

"...?!"

The more Merlin listened, the more he felt something was wrong: "No, wait a minute, so why did we come here today?"

After Eddie withdrew his gaze, he could finally straighten his back and look at him with questioning eyes of "You don't know?"

"You have drank with me so many times, of course I can also cater to your preferences, and accompany you to admire beautiful women. Isn't it normal to reciprocate courtesy?"

This is his way of thinking, there is nothing wrong with it.

Merlin, who doesn't like drinking, insists on going out with him to drink some alcohol to enjoy himself even at the risk of being drunk to death. It's fine once, and it happens several times in a row. Even though Eddie felt that he was overwhelmed at first, After that, I couldn't help being a little moved.

Since Merlin treated him like this, then, after receiving this kindness, he naturally had to treat Merlin who regarded him as a friend equally.

Therefore, this idea that had been shown for a long time, with the deepening of the emotion again and again, led to today's incident.

Of course, in view of Merlin's serious "criminal record", he still has to look at him with warning eyes at this time: the point is to appreciate, if he uses the only face and rhetoric to deceive ignorant women, he will be punished. He was killed on the spot.

Mei Linxin said: "...Okay, I understand."

In Eddie's heart, he is just the most ordinary "friend", and he has already received such good treatment.

This man, in essence, actually possesses an unbelievable chivalry that far surpasses many people——

Ha, haha, I got to know him better as planned, but it went beyond the plan, and now I am not happy at all...

All in all, Merlin was not as happy as Eddie thought at all, instead, he visibly languished.

A head of long, fluffy white hair was drooping listlessly, as if it was suddenly dimmed. He laughed dryly twice, but the smile didn't imprint in his eyes at all.

depressed.

lost.

Eddie didn't know what was wrong with this guy, and the courtesies didn't seem to have the expected effect.

The dance had been going on for a while, and now it was just entering its climax.The melodious music is the best accompaniment, and also the best catalyst for the growth of feelings. Being in this environment will inevitably be affected, but the two neglected people who stayed on the second floor where there are few people are affected. Probably still less.

Eddie frowned, and glanced at Merlin's wilting long white fur, only to feel that the nightmare that was lying back on the railing all of a sudden, but with a face that was about to wither like a flower in a second seemed pitiful.

But he still doesn't know what happened to him.

It was inexplicable.

However, just when Eddie felt that he lacked interest and was about to take Merlin to drink, Merlin raised his head for a moment and said, "Let's go back."

The faded fur, oh no, the hair seemed to regain a little luster. Merlin said he wanted to go back, but he didn't lift his foot immediately.

At this time, the music in the hall changed its rhythm, from the previous melodious to a more cheerful melody.After hesitating for a moment, Merlin looked straight at the man who was still waiting for his next words, and said calmly, "I'm sorry, because I've been hesitating about a very important matter in my heart, and I don't have any extra distractions. .”

Eddie: "Huh?"

After another moment of hesitation, Merlin finally spoke out what had been suppressed in his heart for a long time.

"That thing on your foot... Oh, I'm sorry, I really found it by accident! In short, if it's something that bothers you and you can't take it off, can you let me see it?"

"—I want to help you remove him."

He paused for a second invisibly, as if he didn't notice Eddie's sharp gaze for a moment, and his tone was extremely dignified: "That's all, only this idea."

"........."

A shadow appeared in the man's calm golden eyes.Merlin couldn't be sure whether the shadow was aimed at him or someone else.

Once again he couldn't hold back his urge, but there was no other way.He was really obsessed with something that always remained in a certain place in the man, and it had reached the point where he would make himself unbearable if he didn't bring it up.

Even though I still don't know whether Eddie will agree, whether he will be angry because he has touched the back scale that he doesn't want to be mentioned again because he hasn't learned his lesson...

"You found out, you have good eyesight."

Merlin: "...um."

Is it still such a flat voice?

Merlin probably couldn't see through Eddie's thoughts, and couldn't understand why he was so calm at the moment.

In fact, when Merlin first mentioned that thing, Eddie stared fixedly at the solemn nightmare in front of him, and a trace of anger really rose in his heart.

After so long, he had already forgotten about the crap that got in the way and couldn't be broken apart.When it was mentioned again this time, the disgusting but inescapable anger rang out again along with it.

But, that's all.

Just like he was no longer so angry because of the humiliation he had suffered, the scrap copper and iron left by Ji Shishi would not make his mood fluctuate. And then it's gone.

On the other hand, from the magician's eyes that always seemed to be foggy, he saw the seriousness and concern that were about to overflow.

...That is, by the way, Eddie realized again that he had known this nightmare for almost a year, and had been with him for a year.Apart from drinking, Merlin cared about him most of the time, no matter whether his attitude was too eager or not, this guy was still very sincere to him.

It just so happened that Eddie was the one who couldn't stand the kindness that was so enthusiastically delivered to his eyes.

So, his complexion didn't change, his expression didn't change, he just frowned impatiently.

Just as Merlin's heart tightened because of this unclear detail, he heard the man say in a really impatient tone: "It's annoying, if you don't mention it, I'll forget about that crap that can't even be taken down." .”

"This - can you forget it?! No, if so, it is very likely to be some kind of special magic prop... Be sure to let me, the best magician, take a look!"

Eddie: "..."

This guy, did he add a few strange accents to highlight something?

"Tsk, whatever you want."

It didn't matter to him, after leaving this understatement, he turned his head and left by himself, and the place he went to was naturally no longer the tavern he had thought of before.

Merlin was stunned behind for a long while, then seemed to be greatly encouraged, and happily chased after him.

In the end, we met again in the men's room.

Eddie sat down on the edge of the bed, glanced at Merlin who quietly walked in through the door, didn't say much, just raised his legs, as if he wanted to take off his boots.

"I come."

At this moment, Merlin said abruptly.

……

The magician's fingers touched the darkened skin that had been restrained for a long time. Maybe he wanted to observe carefully, but it seemed that he needed little by little. He slowly recognized it by touch, and the fingertips stagnated there. It took a long time to start pressing and moving.

For a man who doesn't like to expose his body naked, he can take off his shoes in front of people, pull up his trousers, and then endure this person half-kneeling in front of him solemnly, holding his pale complexion cut off by gold in his hands ——It is already a great degree of tolerance and trust.

After all, although Eddie doesn't care about the shackles that have been hanging on his feet for nearly 1000 years, he will not be so easily willing to show others the brand that is equivalent to someone forcibly branding him.

"Hey."

He has been sitting for a long time.It was the left leg that was lifted first, and his hands were propped lazily on the edge of the bed, and he leaned back: "Can't you just sit, kneeling is not tiring"

"It's okay." Merlin didn't raise his head, and his eyes naturally didn't shift away, only a magnetic voice came over: "This is more convenient... Well, no, it's a little tricky."

"It's more troublesome than I thought. To a certain extent, this is no longer a magical product made into a chain, but a higher-level 'artifact'. There is no doubt that the person who put this on you— —”

What a jerk.

Still a wayward and arrogant bastard.

Please forgive Merlin for not saying the latter sentence, and also forgive him for making such rude comments on someone he has never met—and these are really the truth.

Even without face-to-face, staring at the golden shackles that are almost embedded in the flesh and blood of the wrists, you can still have the feeling of suddenly meeting the real master of your arrogant self.

Because the other party's possessiveness is too strong and too arrogant.

Even if they had to separate for a while, they still wanted to tear a piece of flesh off this man.If he can't get it or see it for a long time, then the jealousy that intensifies until it reaches its peak will devour his bones.

It never occurred to the guy to let the shackles fall off the man.

The chain connected in the middle doesn't matter, it can only be used to affect the action, and if it is broken, it will be broken.

The gold shackles that bound the ankles could not be removed by the maker, nor by the one who put them on.No one can take it off again, unless the man who was bitten tightly dies.

And he just couldn't die.

Oh……

This kind of method can be used, it is really powerful.

That anger seemed to have burned into the heart of the magus, who was just an outsider.

Merlin's observations were indeed particularly meticulous.

He discovered at the beginning that after Eddie tore off the chains of the left and right handcuffs, there were still some raised thorns that could not be completely broken off at the original connection.

At that time, the man wanted to break the handcuffs, but failed.I probably didn't bother to bother anymore, and just regarded it as an eye-catching thing that didn't exist, so the remaining spikes were naturally not dealt with.

The man will definitely not be comfortable, but after a long time, and he deliberately ignores these unimportant details, he will get used to these unimportant details. He doesn't care about his ankle that is constantly scarred and discolored due to blood loss and long-term wear and tear of flesh and blood. .

However, Merlin cared.

He cares very, very much.

"...how long do you have to watch?"

Eddie had changed position again.

"Forget it if it's troublesome, it doesn't matter if you take it or not."

Because of some impatience, he lowered his eyes coldly, only to see the magician's expression was solemn.As if dragging it in his hands, what he was carefully looking at and touching was not the feet of a big man, but something more cherished and beautiful.

"..."

Merlin's eyes made Eddie a little strange.

Even more inexplicably, there is a very uncomfortable feeling of being spied on from the outside to the inside.

No, it seems to be deeper than snooping.

It's like he's being watched all over.

The shadow of the dark tide spread from the shadow cast by the half-kneeling body of the magician, moving faintly.But on the surface, his eyes were focused, and there was still a slight smile on his lips that hadn't completely dissipated.

"Sorry, sorry, because I want to confirm again..."

Before Eddie became suspicious, Merlin looked up as usual.He hadn't let go of the man's bare feet yet, and one hand seemed to be inadvertently pinching the soles of the man's feet.

"Okay, I roughly understand what's going on. As for how to remove it, I have to think about it again."

He asked again: "Can you tell me who wrote this? If you know the identity of the other party, it will be easier to find a solution. Ah, of course, it doesn't matter if you don't want to say it, it just takes a little more work, it's nothing Affected by..."

Why, Eddie thought, does it feel like this guy is implying that he has to know who that guy is?

Well, probably an illusion.

Because he watched, Merlin's eyes became sincere again, and his eyes were full of concern for him without any impurities.

It doesn't matter whether you say it or not, anyway, Merlin has already seen it.Eddie said casually: "It's very simple, since you can find Enkidu, then you must know his name."

"On par with Enkidu, the guy with the most famous name in that era, that is..."

"--Gilgamesh."

Before Eddie could finish speaking, the magician's deep voice overshadowed his words, and he spoke the name of the culprit instead.

Unexpected, but it doesn't seem to be surprising at all.

The atmosphere seemed a bit too depressing.

But the man who is particularly slow in this aspect didn't notice it. Among them, the duration was too short.

He felt that Merlin was staring at him a little strangely a second ago, but the next second he realized that Merlin had let go of him as usual, and replied, "Okay, Gilgamesh——I remember, The name of the oldest king."

"Then leave this matter to me!"

Eddie didn't expect Merlin to be so motivated, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "Uh, don't force it, just try it casually, if it doesn't work, forget it."

Merlin shook his head: "Since you want to help, of course you have to do your best."

"What's more, this is something related to you, Eddie." A smile appeared on his face again, and his eyes looking at Eddie were even softer.

"Do not worry."

"I'm going to do my best to get these two slobs off," he said.

"must."

*****

That night, I still had a relatively peaceful dream.

There is no specific scene in this dream, and there is no familiar image of old people who have died for hundreds of years and thousands of years. There is only a piece of tranquility and green fields as far as the eye can see.

There are not so many traces related to the "past", which is probably a good thing for Eddie.

In reality, it is temporarily impossible to lie comfortably in the wilderness with rich grass fragrance like now, because in reality there are two rambunctious little ghosts, even if they don’t come to deliberately disturb him, they always let him hear the background that can’t calm down sound.

Then, it is very convenient in the dream.

Although it is superfluous to lie on the grass and sleep in the dream, and I don't know if I can sleep or not, Eddie still enjoys this feeling very much.

He was basking in the sun of his dream, blowing the breeze of his dream, and enjoyed the comfort of his dream for quite a while.After that, as if waking up from sleep, he slowly opened his eyes.

If his dreams were compared to a house with no windows and the only door tightly closed, then the nightmare that came quietly was the visiting guest—however, this guest had learned the tragic lesson of the past and did not seek death again. Usually trespassed, but obediently guarded the "door" and knocked on the door. After getting the owner's permission, he set foot in the dream world surrounded by tranquility.

"I'm here to report the progress and show the results by the way."

Nightmare, who turned his eyes away from the seemingly endless green ocean, smiled and said, without the master's invitation, he consciously came to his side.

It wasn't until Merlin approached that Eddie sat up slowly.

In the dream, he took off the cloak that usually covered most of his tall figure, and put it behind his head, using it as a pillow.Standing up now, he didn't grab the cloak and put it on again.

Not only were his jacket and trousers all black, they were also tight-fitting.The stretchy fabric clings to the muscles, naturally highlighting the outline of the body to perfection.

He just got up from the grass, and his hair was still a bit messy, with a small half curled around his neck, but it just covered the part that Merlin wanted to see.

Then, he sat up straight again, and the silver hair just slid to his chest, allowing the nightmare to fulfill his wish in the dark.

"Hmm...it's only been a few days? Your efficiency is so high."

Eddie was a little surprised, he didn't expect Merlin's speed to be so fast, which solved the handcuffs that had trapped him for thousands of years.

However, after receiving this compliment, Merlin could only regretfully say: "I'm sorry, this thing is too tricky. I want to remove it completely. I haven't found a way yet. But..."

Excitedly, he bent down, returning to the half-kneeling posture before, and pulled off the man's boots, and then held the bare feet that were tightly inlaid with shackles in his hands.

"I found a way to slightly adjust the looseness and size to make you more comfortable. Although it can't completely solve the problem, it's better than nothing."

"Talking is better than nothing... I said, really don't make it so troublesome—hey!"

Eddie's troublesome refusal had no effect on Merlin. Anyway, he didn't know what he was doing. The almost immovable golden shackles were visibly loosened by the naked eye. Correspondingly, the thickness also decreased a little, leaving only Down a very thin lap.

"Well, it really worked. Then, the next step is this step."

As Merlin said, he pushed up the shackles that had become thinner and looser.At this moment, the piece of skin that had been covered by the handcuffs and had been worn and healed countless times was revealed in front of Merlin's eyes.

"It's too..."

The magician who was staring at the black scar seemed to say something in a low voice, but the voice was too low for Eddie to hear clearly.

Because of his carelessness -- yes, it was carelessness -- Merlin couldn't help but grab his feet, and at this moment, he was slightly regretting his carelessness.

goosebumps.

He was about to be covered in goose bumps by Merlin.

God knows what's going on with Merlin, he's a normal man who likes women—he's a man, he hugs another big man's leg and doesn't let go, and keeps rubbing it... Isn't it disgusting!

Regardless of whether Merlin felt repelled or not, anyway, he was starting to feel uncomfortable all over.

The main reason is that this guy's actions are really blatant, and the ambiguous atmosphere is so strong that even Eddie, who is particularly slow in this aspect, can detect it.

At first, it was just rubbing very gently on the most injured and darkest place.

The magician has a pair of very beautiful hands, slender and well-defined. It seems that everything made by these hands will be an excellent work of art, and what he touches should also be beautiful and elegant things.

But in fact, the magician is not a standard magician. Rather than chanting spells, he prefers to slash with a sword cleanly.

This also led to the calluses that people with swords would have on the perfect hands, and there were some on the edges of the finger pulps and palms.

He was taking his time, gently rubbing the old wound on the man's ankle that was about to become dead flesh.The man didn't feel anything at first, but as time passed, slowly, the strange feeling of being rubbed by the callus came up from the place that should be the most tender and delicate, like an electric current with crackling sparks, In an instant, it ran down the spine to my mind.

"……hiss."

Eddie couldn't help straightening his waist, he was a little stunned by the strange feeling that seemed to be really numb from the electric shock, and even a little uncomfortable.

His brows were furrowed, and he began to pay close attention to Merlin's every move.

Then it was discovered that Merlin didn't seem to be doing any tricks.Just simply rubbing and then—massaging?

"Huh? Are you conscious?"

Merlin noticed that he was staring at him closely, and he didn't show any guilt. Instead, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "Great, then this method is really useful."

"I guessed before that this area of ​​yours was too badly injured, and it's been so long, maybe you're already unconscious... So I thought, borrow my magic power to nourish in my most convenient dream. Specifically, I'm doing This way, maybe we can recover a little bit.”

As he spoke, the movements of his hands did not stop, and his expression remained focused.

After hearing his explanation, Eddie's expression softened, and his stiff body relaxed a little, but even though he received his favor, he still had the firm idea of ​​not wanting to continue to accept the kindness: "Thank you, but—OK Well, it's much better, so be it."

Merlin didn't even raise his head: "No—okay, the rehabilitation work has just begun, and the longer it takes, the more obvious the effect will be."

This is indeed the truth, and Eddie has already experienced the "effect" he mentioned.

It was just a vague feeling before, but as Merlin stroked and massaged more and more meticulously, his brows became more and more wrinkled, and he felt that the place touched by the magician was hot.

In addition to the inadvertently raised temperature, the strange feeling of numbness is gradually becoming clearer, popping up from time to time, each time becoming more intense——

Eddie didn't realize that the tricks of the magician laid the groundwork from the very beginning, and through the magic power, it was mixed into the blood that melted like ice and snow and started to flow slowly again. The influence was born quietly, and it wouldn't let him I found out.

"..."

"........."

"...It's alright, alright! That's it, that's all, if you rub me around again, if you don't get tired of it, I'll be numb to death."

After Merlin rubbed his ankle and pressed the sole of his foot carefully, Eddie's body, which had just relaxed a little, became stiff again, and his face turned a little strange.

I can't tell what's weird, but it's just weird.The intuition was delayed for a while, and seeing that Merlin had just let go of the soles of his feet, which were almost red from being rubbed, and wanted to press on the ankles, Eddie finally couldn't take it anymore and forced him to stop.

"Now—don't worry about anything, I'm going to sleep, just lie down like this, don't disturb me."

He pulled back his battered legs vigorously, resisted the urge to kick Merlin away, and took advantage of the momentum to turn over.

Alright, this is the end of the topic of the handcuffs that cannot be untied. The man who tousled his hair even more messily closed his eyes lazily, and didn't care about Merlin who came over to lie next to him again, and just fell asleep without delay. up.

Of course, Merlin wouldn't lie on the side facing away from Eddie, he rubbed against him, and as soon as he lay down, he could see the sleeping face of the man who seemed to have suddenly calmed down.

Reality cannot be seen, only... in dreams, there is such an opportunity.

"Eddie?"

After staring at it for a while without blinking, he whispered.

"Eddie?"

"..."

no response.

Merlin yelled several times in succession, but the man who hated being disturbed while sleeping didn't respond, his sleeping face was still peaceful, only a disobedient strand of silver hair that should have been pinned behind his ear fell out, just falling onto his mouth.

Sure enough.

By this time, he had completely sunk into the "net" woven for him by the nightmare.

That net is not worth mentioning, because it has no other function except to allow the consciousness of the owner of this dream to really rest-this is basically only beneficial.After the dream is over, it will disappear.

Only good for the owner of the dream...

For Nightmare, there are only "benefits".

The man who also fell asleep in the dream turned over again, what a coincidence, it just happened to be in the direction of the nightmare that was sneaking over.

It's great, no need to work hard, as long as one arm is raised happily, you can embrace a man taller than yourself into your arms.

"Hmm... hold me for a while, and then, I'm still not satisfied."

Merlin's hand that embraced the man also happened to be placed on the man's lower back.

He groped to his waistline, and his index finger stayed there, still slowly moving deeper along the downwardly extending ravine.

All right--

Can no longer act rashly.

Although I really want to, if I go too far, I will still be discovered when the man wakes up.

Therefore, with disappointment and reluctance, I can only retreat.

They are sideways facing each other, and only one of them needs to move forward a little to make them fit tightly.

This little distance can only be filled by Merlin himself for the time being.

The white-haired nightmare stared intently at the man's face, the smile on his lips couldn't stop.

"Reciprocity, this is what you said yourself. My share has already been offered to you. Now, shouldn't it be time to get some rewards?"

He murmured, his slightly moving lips were about to touch the man's thin lips, but he did not conform to his inner desire, and pressed them eagerly.

--before that.

The tip of his tongue stuck out, caught the strand of silver hair that fell on the man's lips, and gently sucked it into his own mouth.

His tongue inevitably touched the corner of the man's lips. The nightmare who thought he was ruthless finally tasted the most wonderful emotion that human beings have. It was really sweet.

It was so sweet that the purple eyes were full of lingering drunkenness, more drunk than when he insisted on forcing himself to drink, so that there were a few traces of darkness that could not be ignored in the bottom of the eyes.

"Gilgamesh, the man who was once your best friend, failed your trust and did such an unreasonable thing to you... I don't need clairvoyance, I can guess the general content."

"Then, is there any hidden fact that I have completely ignored before? Ah, no... it should be, who else?"

Go back in time a little.

The moment Merlin saw the golden shackles between the man's ankles that blatantly declared his presence, Merlin understood.

I understand why I, who is obviously not a human being, cares so much about this special human being.I understand why he does so many nonsense things that are not in line with his nature, let alone getting much benefit.Understood--

He should be attracted by this man.

Before it fully blooms, it is seduced by unexplorable mysteries.When the prying is deeper and the understanding is deeper, the nightmare that has always been the hunter and the controller has been trapped in it, and there is no escape.

He was so thorough that, unconsciously, he couldn't even notice such an obvious change in himself in time.

This is an important reason for the sudden awakening.

The person I fancy - the human being I fell in love with, was forcibly imprinted by someone who wasn't me.

Only after he truly woke up did he realize that his desire for monopoly is not much less than that arrogant hero king who has spanned thousands of years.

"Apart from this one, is there anyone else? Although I don't want to think about it, but there must be... there are others."

"Enkidu, another poor man whom he regards as his best friend."

"Then, there is that little apprentice whose name I don't know yet."

"Really, alas."

Merlin suddenly sighed.

"But I don't want to know that I have so many rivals in love, and I don't want to hear any news about rivals in love."

"I don't want to at all, follow in the footsteps of my rival."

There really was something wrong with his mentality.

Perhaps it is more appropriate to use "distortion" to describe it.

The distortion that started at an unknown time seemed to have deviated a little from the track, but it made Nightmare, who didn't have so many complicated emotions, learn all of a sudden...

Hey.

That word sounds horrible.

—However, what's wrong with it?

Thinking of this, Merlin finally raised the corners of his mouth, holding that lock of long hair, and sending it into the mouth of the man who was dragged into a deeper dream.
