(EP.348) Awakening #1
348 – Awakening from the Long Sleep #1
when you open your eyes.
I was lying in bed.
Are you still dreaming? reality?
I was a little nervous because I had just woken up.
Then I realized that this was a reality when I found an animal sleeping with its body curled up on my bedside.
The small animal had brown fur and several stripes.
“It’s ok.”
A dog squirrel with a wound on his right eye just like me. As I was stroking those soft hairs, I suddenly felt that this was real. It’s warm.
I woke up from my sleep, and my eyes fluttered open.
ㅡ kkkkeng!
“Yeah, hello. It seems like I haven’t seen you in a long time. Why are you so thin? Imps would normally give me rice.”
My pet dog squirrel was originally a chubby guy who ate well. Its tail and fur were so swelled up that it looked like a brown ball when curled up.
But now that I see him, his body was quite thin. Seeing him as agile as a wild animal that roams around without eating well makes me worried that he might be sick.
My worries were quickly resolved as I saw the other dog squirrels rushing in. Because the five females started making a fuss around Keng Keng.
“You seem tired of being popular with women.”
Awkward, gleeful.
Then the visit was opened. Keng Keng and other female squirrels sprint through the cracks in the open door.
“Ah-! Chunkyung!”
A startling sound comes from behind.
Soon, the door fully opened, revealing a familiar orange hair. A diamond-shaped tail swaying gently. It was Marmar.
“Comrade, wake up! I was going to wake you up if you didn’t wake up!”
“Yeah, I woke up. What date is it today? Since when have I been sleeping?”
“Today is, of course, the day of the tree.”
“It is the day of the tree.”
“okay! Did you even have a long dream? Sometimes, when I have a long dream, the date gets confused like that. I had a dream last time washing my hair, but after waking up, I was confused as to whether I should wash my hair again!”
Heh heh, Marmar smiled and immediately put the shelf in her hand on my bed. The warm sweet pumpkin soup had a rather sweet smell, which stimulated my taste buds.
“If you eat this, you will wake up quickly! It was made with pumpkins from the field with the imps yesterday.”
“It will be delicious.”
I took a bite and thought about it.
Is it a tree day?
When Aira and Elgar went to the hot springs together, it was a water day, so it seems that only one night has passed. A week wouldn’t have gone by in a hurry.
So in the end, what happened to Mirna, Elgar, and Aira?
There was a part where it was difficult for me to check right away whether or not things worked out as planned. What was our plan in the first place?
My memory was quite chaotic because I had gone through so many things. The good thing, though, is that the 《Calm Thinking》 that I possessed has been activated and has been able to organize various things well.
We had a plan to defeat Ars Nova, who lurked in Aira’s mind, and put some shackles on Aira’s sky-like abilities.
So, our goal was to defeat Aira, who had been weakened to some extent, in the non-titled system. In the end, Ars Nova, who was in Aira’s heart, was defeated.
Are you really knocked down?
I listened to my heart. Soon, a small paper spider lurking inside is heard howling.
ㅡHyo… !
I couldn’t understand what he was saying, but I could sense the subtle nuances of urging me to eat more sweet pumpkin soup.
So I ate a bunch of soup that Marmar had cooked for me. I felt like my body was waking up when my stomach was full with something warm, and my head was clearer.
You really are waking up from a dream.
I walked over to the window, pulled the curtains and opened the window wide. The unique sunnyness and coolness of the weather transitioning from summer to autumn seem to caress my face.
“Then Tae-oh, I’m going to give some soup to the other imps too!”
Marmar shouted brightly from behind me. It would have been okay if we talked a little more, but when I looked at why he was leaving, I saw someone standing at the entrance to the room.
It seems Marmar, who is quick-witted, took care of herself and left her seat. As soon as Marmar left the room, they came in.
“Sir Tae-oh, good morning. Have you slept well?”
“Do you have any headaches?”
It seemed that Mirna and Narmi came to see me after realizing that I had woken up. Maybe he came to wake me up.
“I am okay.”
“I’m glad you did.”
The twin sisters said that after work, they woke up early in the morning to recover the magic circle or to cover up what had happened.
It was the Mirnarmi sisters who moved me and Elgar to their respective rooms. It made me laugh when I imagined them carrying me back and forth on the bed.
“Ugh, you’ve been through a lot. Was there anything I could do to help?”
“There was none. First of all, it seems to have worked out well as we had planned. The details will only be known after Queen Aira wakes up.”
“okay.”
Ira said she was still asleep in her room.
It will take some time for Aira, who ate a fairly large amount, to wake up because the medicine Mirna, Narmi, and the young girl Kalira made together was quite special and poisonous.
I was worried that maybe something went wrong like this and it wouldn’t happen forever. Of course, Narmi reassured me by firmly nailing it, saying, “That doesn’t happen!”
The drug is meant to make you fall asleep ‘deeply’, not for ‘long’ sleep, so you will wake up before lunchtime at the latest.
“Are you okay, Sir Tae-oh? things that happened. Do you remember everything? There are times when certain memories are completely blown away. It’s because it’s a dream, so when you wake up, you’re confused.”
“Well.”
At Mirna’s question, I remembered what happened in my dream. I’m going to see Elgar. After convincing Elgar, we go to meet Aira together and meet a blonde nymph… .
I remember everything.
Because of that, Elgar suddenly became worried.
“Where is Elgar? Did you wake up?”
“It seems to have happened. I do not know. Since he hasn’t left the room yet, he must have been paying attention. Even though it’s a dream, I’ve been through it… .”
* * *
“Elgar, are you there?”
smart.
I knocked on the door of the town hall where Elgar was staying. Then, with a rustling from the inside, you hear someone approaching the door.

Click. profit.
At last, with the sound of the lock being unlocked, Elgar’s blue eyes peeked through the cracks in the door.
“what.”
“No, I’m here to see how you are doing. I heard that the Mirnarmi girls stopped by to check, but they didn’t open the door?”
“There is nothing to check. I know my condition better than anyone else. I’m okay.”
Elgar’s voice as she said that seemed a little gloomy. It’s like a person who wakes up from a bad dream and is engulfed in the aftereffects. It’s my analogy, but it’s probably the right situation.
“Is it because of last night’s dream?”
“… … .”
“Don’t do this, just open the door. Draco’s girls say that there are times when you can be influenced by your deep dreams and interfere with your daily life. We need to check it out now.”
“Ugh.”
Finally, the door swung open with a long snort.
silkygoat was the goat. cry
Now that I see, Elgar is covered in blankets like a ghost. Looking at her face with only her face, it was a look that reminded me of the hijab of an Arab country.
Of course, Elgar wasn’t wearing a blanket for political or religious purposes. I thought I had a rough idea of what Elgar was thinking, but I pretended not to know.
“Why are you doing this?”
“I don’t know.”
“It’s like an egg. Eggs covered in hard shell. The reason eggs have hard shells is that they have evolved to protect the things inside. Elgar-sama wants to do the same, right?”
“… … .”
Instead of answering, Elgar gave a slightly gloomy expression on her face. After all, it is clear that he is worried about the golden nymph he met in his dream and cannot stand it.
That’s why I want to protect the ship.
Of course, there is no way to protect it by covering it with a blanket. Elgar knew it well too, but it might not have calmed her heart if she didn’t do it.
I said.
“Elgar-sama, it was a dream, so I won’t tell you to forget it. Because dreams and fantasies can be real to some.”
Shh.
I put my hand inside the blanket and grabbed Elgar’s hand. Then, the blanket that was on Elgar’s body ripped apart and fell to the floor.
I could learn a lot just by holding that hand. anxiety. sadness and so on. Fortunately, the vitality felt inside her was very full.
Both seem to be fine.
said Elgar.
“… I don’t think you look very much like me.”
“To me, he looked just like Elgar-sama.”
blonde and blue eyes. It was enough to say that it was a clone of Elgar whose personality was so comprehensive. I’m sure he’ll be that kind of kid. But Elgar shook her head.
“But, it was a nymph. I thought quarter nymphs were born. just a nymph I don’t know how this happened.”
“that… .”
I think so.
I am a half-elf and Elgar is a pure-blooded human. So, shouldn’t the two children be quarter nymphs, and the fairies must be very light? But the child I met in my dream was just a nymph.
what the hell
because it’s a dream? Suddenly you start to get confused. Could it be that the nymphs have some sort of birth secret that I don’t know about?
Then Elgar said.
“I think I got the name wrong. Since it’s a nymph, I think Leonoi would suit her name. Why, ‘-Noi’ is often attached to the nymphs’ names.”
“that is… . We’ll think about it later.”
I did the swordsman I learned from Mirna to Elgar.
Do you remember your name or birthday well? It was a light procedure, asking what was our last memory before we went into the dream and so on.
He seemed a bit shocked, but as the questions continued and as time passed, Elgar’s attitude improved noticeably.
That’s the original dream.
When you just wake up, it feels as vivid as reality, but as time passes, it’s not strange if what you would call those memories fades and doesn’t come to mind immediately.
If I had to think of a dream I had a week ago right now, I couldn’t think of anything. Today’s experience will be the same.
dream… .
Suddenly, a conversation with Bael came to mind.
– Haven’t you woken up from your dream yet? Now stop getting up from your long sleep. Feel the world you live in with your own feet.
That’s what the guy said

Come and think about it now… .
There were quite a few parts that didn’t come to mind, like the story of an old dream. For example, the face or memories of when I still had the name Lee Seong-eum.
There are holes in it, and it’s getting fainter.
I didn’t want to think like this, but after experiencing many things, a hypothesis came to mind.
I always thought this world was just a fantasy.
perhaps.
actually.
It’s me over there-.
“thinking back.”
Whoops.
Then Elgar touched her stomach and said,
“Now that I think about it, he was a very shy kid. I don’t want to raise my daughter that way. If the child does something wrong, I will punish him harshly and correct his habit.”
It’s kind of funny when Elgar says that.
As I swallowed a laugh inside, Elgar added, as if excused.
“Why, because she is the eldest daughter, she could become a real queen. Imagine such a girl becoming a queen and doing what she wants in this country.”
that’s a bit… .
Then, when I become king, what will happen to my succession? I was thinking about having about thirty children.
Obviously, there will be a huge fight over property issues and inheritance issues. If I take Elgar’s daughter as my successor from the standpoint of being the eldest daughter, everyone will protest.
We’ll talk about this later too.
The Lioness family of Elgar is a large family, so is there any way to solve this problem easily? If you ask Reinhardt, the owner of Lioness, he might lend you his wisdom.
As we were thinking about it, someone knocked on the door where we were staying. It was Mirna.
-Queen Aira has woken up.
Is it Aira?
Tension arises in the mind that had just been relaxed.
The feeling of nervousness about what will happen in the future spreads inside me like spilled ink.
For a moment, I felt as if a small paper spider crouched in my heart was eating away the tension.
“… … .”
Thanks to you, I was courageous.
“I will go and check it out. You two are taking a break here. Whatever it is, it’s my job now.”
I walked over to Aira’s room and knocked on the door. As there is no sign of anyone coming in, I knock on the door again and a small voice says, “Come in.”
profit.
As soon as I opened the door, a cool breeze wet my face.
I saw the window wide open and the curtains fluttering, and then what caught my eye was Ira, sitting on the bed, leaning her back against the wall.
how do you get the word out
Shall we say hello first?
“Good night.”
