199 – 40. Arthur
Wrong…… There was none.
There is no way I saw it wrong.
There was no way I was mistaken.
“Sleep well, Lane.”
“Yes…Mom…”
That being sitting next to young Raine right now and stroking her head.
My mother’s identity has now become so vague that I didn’t even pay much attention to it.
The principal…… It was clear.
‘…… How?’
My first thought was, isn’t this part of a mental attack? … It was.
The principal is said to be the most powerful In the world. So much so that he considers himself a special profession.
She closed the entrance to the dream, and since she wasn’t even asleep in the dream, it seemed like it would be possible for her to interfere with the lucid dream.
But soon Lucas shook his head.
‘There is no reason to appear in the form of a mother. In that case, it makes sense to disguise yourself as young Rain and take advantage of my weakness.’
Then why? Is there any reason to exist in a lucid dream as a mother?
If not. If the principal didn’t interfere at all.
Really…… ?
‘The principal is my mother?’
The story about my mother…… I barely heard anything.
Lucas, who was raised strictly as Arthur’s next cow, rarely saw his mother even when he was young, and after she was kicked out of his family as part of his education, he had no reason to see her.
When he returned to the family, her mother had already disappeared.
That’s why I didn’t really have any memories or longing for my mother. It just felt like she had someone like that.
But it was different for Lane.
I heard that under the harsh education of her father, Hector, young Lane endured each day clinging to her mother’s arms.
One day she suddenly disappeared and her mother…… She is a painful memory for Lane, and at the same time a warm memory.
Such a being.
She was a being who I thought was probably dead.
He was actually the principal?
‘Then…… Can not be done.’
I am not talking about a moral meaning. It doesn’t even have an ethical meaning.
If the principal was really his and Lane’s mother.
If the mother really said that the principal suddenly disappeared.
‘I don’t know.’
To Lane who was desperately looking for her mother…… Can you treat me like that?
Can you treat someone as if they were strangers, as if you were meeting them for the first time?
Rain fell into a lucid dream due to the principal’s surprise attack?
‘…… Ha ha ha.’
I want to scream.
I can’t accept the facts in front of me, so I want to deny them by lashing out.
But instead of getting angry or irritated without meaning to, Lucas calmed down his mind.
I suppressed my anger, passion, surprise, and confusion and calmed them down.
…… If so.
If it’s Namgoong Min…… I’m sure he would have done it this way.
‘Right? ‘Friend.’
What Lucas should do now is not be angry or angry.
Get out of this lucid dream with Lane and join Namgoong Min.
About the principal and mother…… You will know enough after that.
That’s why.
“Rain.”
“Huh…? Oh, oh, brother…?”
“Rain, it’s time to wake up.”
“Oppa…! You’re back…!!”
“No, Lane. I didn’t come back… I came to get you.”
“Huh?”
Rain as a child. Little sister in childhood.
Only then did Lucas realize that this was the first time he had seen Reign in her younger days.
Lucas at this time is rolling on the street outside Arthur. He was too young when he was kicked out of the family, and when he returned he was already grown up.
What her younger sister looks like now…… Even though it was her family, it was something she had never seen before.
That’s true.
I suddenly remembered this.
“……No, Lane.”
“Mom…?”
“That’s not my brother. Lucas has now left the mansion for education. Above all, Lucas is still a child. He is not that kind of adult.”
“B-but…You’re just like your brother…”
“It’s just a dream. Lane, it’s because I’m still tired.”
“Yes, I see…”
The mother with the face of a principal pours out sweet words.
Laying young Rain down again, she slowly closes her eyes.
Nevertheless, Lucas did not move to stop his mother in the lucid dream.
Just quietly whispering to her sister.
“I was sorry, Lane.”
“I keep hearing voices…”
“It’s all a dream, Lane.”
“I… I only thought about myself. I thought I was the only one having a hard time, and I thought I was the only one suffering. When I was rolling around on the street, I didn’t know what my father would do to me who stayed in the mansion.”
“Oppa…?”
“It’s a dream, Lane. Go back to sleep.”
“By the time we met again, it was too late for both of us. I was a selfish as*shole who pretended to be cool-headed, and you were so imbued with the strengths and weaknesses… You were like a wicked woman.”
“Am I…A villain…?”
“That can’t be possible, right? Lane is a good kid.”
“We couldn’t reconcile. I didn’t consider you a proper family member, and you tried to be recognized by me. We were falling apart. We are family. We are the only siblings…”
“Brother and sister…”
“Sleep, Reign. You need to sleep, Reign. You need to sleep, Reign.”
“I was a coward, so I did not admit my own mistakes. From the time we met again, to the time I entered the Romance Academy. I was an as*shole, an idiot, and a coward until the end.”
But.
“We met Namgoong Min. He is extremely weak, always smiling, and only wears strange suits… But he is a fortune teller who is braver than anyone else, approaches everyone with sincerity, and is cooler and ahead of everyone else.”
“Namgoong, Min.”
“Rain, sleep. Rain, sleep. Rain, you need to sleep. Rain, sleep? Rain, sleep!”
“That guy freed you from your bondage, defeated his father in a duel, and made me smile again. All… It was something I, as an older brother, should have done, but as a coward, I couldn’t do. “
“Ah…….”
“Rain!!!”
“That day, for the first time, I gathered courage. I thanked Namgoong Min and apologized to him. Luckily, that guy… Was a big idiot, so he accepted me as a friend, even in a country like this.”
“Oppa.”
“LeeeIN──”
“Let’s just wake up, Lane. We were subjected to a cowardly ambush, and now Namgoong Min is fighting alone. We don’t know what the situation is. Of course we have to go.”
“……………….”
“Why Rain! Why you! Why are you!!!”
“That’s right, we’re Arthur.”
Artur.
There were times when I hated it, there were times when I thought I was born for nothing, and there were times when it was a painful place.
A place where I can help my friends, where I grew up, and who makes me who I am.
And, for allowing me to be connected to my precious sister and her family.
My home, my family.
“I am Lucas Arthur. I am the minor head of the great Arthur family, the next head of the family, and Namgoong Min’s friend.”
“…He’s also my older brother.”
“Rain, what is your name?”
“You’re asking something stupid…”
Little Raine got up from bed. No, she was no longer young.
Become her in reality, not as a child in a lucid dream.
I stand there as Arthur.
“I am Rain Arthur. I am a powerful person from the great Arthur family, I am a person with supernatural powers, and I am Namgoong Min’s wife.”
“…Isn’t it a little early for the end?”
“What do you think? It’s going to happen anyway.”
“Ugh, okay. Let’s go save my brother-in-law.”
“Yes, that’s it. Put your hands away.”
Tak.
Lucas casually batted away her outstretched hand and Lane walked to her door.
It’s a bit like Lane now, she muttered quietly, but Lucas followed her with a smile.
“LeeeIN…….”
“……….”
‘What was my mother’ still remains in the bed.
Remnants of Lane’s lucid dream. An obstacle that prevents you from waking up from a dream.
If Rain even sees that──
“…It looks similar.”
“……Rain?”
“It’s nothing, let’s go out, brother.”
“…Okay.”
From Noble mtl dot com
But…… What is the reason for Lane’s somewhat calm reaction?
Lucas, who looked at the creepy expressionless expression for a moment, stretched out his hand to the door.
Job skill .
Raise your job skills as is.
“…What, how in a lucid dream?”
“There’s something I did before going to sleep.”
I was lucky, and fortunately, Namgoong Min seems to have noticed.
When she was attacked, she fell asleep with Activated. If the principal had noticed, that would have been the end of it, but fortunately Namgoong Min seemed to have skillfully caught her attention.
Maybe it’s different, but…… At least she was able to escape from the lucid dream thanks to that.
“But brother.”
“Huh?”
“Is it true that you said sorry earlier?”
“……Okay.”
“…Thank you.”
“Wow.”
“I-C.”
*
Job skill .
This is a job skill for the special job , And is a skill that is upwardly compatible with all magic classes.
Lucas thought he already knew about that ability, but as of today, he realized that he was wrong.
‘…… ‘Is something like this even possible?’
Used Right before going to sleep. To be honest, I was skeptical about this.
Even if I fell asleep while using my job skill, it was unclear whether I would be able to use that skill in a lucid dream.
But── Was manifesting itself better than Lucas expected.
Yeah, like.
As if this lucid dream itself was a form of magic.
‘Why on earth?’
Drowsiness in a dream is not a magical result, but a peculiarity of the space itself.
Still, if you can control your lucid dreams with …… Honestly, it’s hard to believe, but there is only one answer.
‘The reason we fell asleep was not because we were dreaming, but because of the principal’s magic.’
Suddenly appears and destroys everyone’s gold crowns, and at the same time uses powerful sleep magic.
The principal’s capabilities were clearly beyond Lucas’ imagination.
At the same time, doubts arose.
‘Why did you bother using sleep magic?’
If only the gold crown was destroyed, it would have fallen asleep on its own.
Trying to control lucid dreams with magic? To take him hostage?
Or……
“…Oppa?”
“Oh, sorry. I was thinking about something else for a moment.”
“Hurry up and open it. I’m worried about Namgoong Min.”
Lucas, who had come out of his distress due to Lane’s words, first focused on the crack in front of him.
Yes, it is not too late to study after leaving the temple.
First of all, you have to get out of this lucid dream.
Use To create a crack in the lucid dream, and the crack gradually grows larger.
It’s similar to what Lane did at the gate entrance, but…… Unlike Rain, who crushed space itself, he only moves with his magic under control.
It wasn’t difficult to open it.
Let’s quickly take a step beyond the open space.
“…Ah.”
I was able to open my eyes.
Lucas realized that he had been lying down somewhere.
I still feel sleepy, but I quickly wake up and face Namgoong Min.
“……Cough.”
“Reckless bastard….”
“Nam Goong Min…?”
Ah.
Is it too late?
Nam Goong Min…… He was lying down, bleeding profusely.
Strangely, the blood that ran down his suit and face became clean, as if something had cleaned it up.
I could tell at a glance that it was serious just by looking at the blood spilled on the rainbow-colored floor.
Furthermore, the arm turned at a strange angle──
“You, you!!!!”
──While Lucas was dazed for a moment by Nam Goong Min’s miserable appearance, Lane, whose eyes were shaking in disbelief, screamed.
Across from the fallen Namgoong Min, I reach out to another Namgoong Min who is eerily similar to Namgoong Min.
“Die…!!”
Just grab it with And burst……
“…Rain.”
“It’s me, Namgoong Min. Don’t talk, it’s okay. I can fix it…!”
“If you kill me, cluck! You can’t…”
“……Huh?”
“This…Is something I brought upon myself. Please stop at the point of restraining me.”
“B-but!”
“Please…”
“……………….”
Rain looked at Namgoong Min, who was somehow smiling despite his pale complexion, probably because he had lost too much blood.
Even though I clenched my teeth and clenched them again and blood oozed out…… She somehow managed to calm down the anger and killing intent she had been struggling with.
However, such feelings do not just subside, but rather build up and become stronger.
With eyes full of all hatred, he glared at Namgoong Min fiercely and hurriedly ran to the fallen Namgoong Min.
Lucas, who had been dazed, finally approached Namgoong Min.
“Cough, Lucas…I believed it.”
“…Thank you, friend. For trusting me.”
“This… I needed to buy time. It would be difficult if the principal or that guy noticed you if you stayed quiet…”
“I know, I know, so don’t say any more. I lost too much blood.”
“Nam Goong Min…!!”
She somehow tries to stop the bleeding with , But her superpower is not specialized for her telekinesis and is not a power that can be recovered.
Even though they adjusted her broken bones and tore her clothes to make bandages, Namgoong Min’s condition was serious.
Nevertheless…… You won’t die. It was a fact that she was able to notice because she had been rolling around in her back alley for a long time.
Another Namgoong Min created something that would cause pain but would never cause death.
“……………….”
Another Namgoong Min.
Although she had heard about it from Lane a long time ago, this was her first time seeing it in person.
Seeing the same faces, like twins, gave me goosebumps, but now Lucas was not looking at the other Namgoong Min.
It’s not that I don’t feel hatred toward him, but it’s the same as in a lucid dream. Even if he harbors hatred towards another Namgoong Min now, nothing will be resolved.
To get Namgoong Min to the hospital as quickly as possible.
There is one thing he has to do now.
“Rain, I’ll ask for Namgoong Min.”
“Oh, brother…?”
“We must deal with the culprit quickly.”
Job skill .
In an instant, Lucas left the spot using And headed to the place he had been concerned about a while ago.
Using space magic within the gate was tantamount to suicide, but Lucas was confident now.
By using In a lucid dream, I was able to learn how to handle space.
The place we reached after several .
“…You’re here. It’s a special job after all.”
“……You’re not calling me your son?”
“…Well.”
Standing in front of such an ugly, ugly black mass.
The mother’s face in a lucid dream, and something that must be dealt with quickly.
The principal smiled.
“You are nothing but a failure to me.”
