“…Ugh.”
With a short moan, I slowly opened my eyes.
Then, darkness without a single light spread all over the place.
“What, what?”
Bewildered, I spewed the mana of the stars in all directions, but for some reason the mana didn’t work.
‘…Damn, I hate the dark.’
I really hate the dark.
To be precise, I terribly hate being in a dark space without a single light.
Of course, the space I’m in right now, although it looks vast and spacious, I don’t like it because I don’t know the end.
“Ugh…”
Thanks to him, I was struggling with disgust, but I started to feel something at my feet.
“Meow.”
“…Meow?”
A black cat… No, a cat doll was biting my paw.
“…I’m glad you’re there too.”
I lifted him up with a bit of reassurance thanks to this, and the cat doll started to cry and lick my face violently.
“Why, why?”
“Meow… meow…”
I was trying to get rid of that cat doll, but suddenly it attacked me and knocked me down and started licking my face.
“…what?”
Suddenly defeated by the little cat doll, I ended up scratching my head and getting licked by him for a while.
“Yoo…”
Just as my face was getting shiny, the cat puppet hit my chest and began to rub my face.
‘…Is it pressed with scissors?’
It was too cute and happy to be hit by scissors, so I was just lying on the bed, and suddenly the darkness began to fade.
– Shoo…

Eventually, green fields and trees began to appear around me, and only then did I find out what the situation was.
‘…It’s the same dream I experienced back then.’
Perhaps, the situation now is similar to the situation when looking at Ferroche’s past.
“…Mom?”
Unsurprisingly, my eyes as a child began to catch my eye.
“…Yeah, you were lost while playing hide and seek in the woods back then, didn’t you?”
At that time, I was lost while playing hide and seek in the forest with my mother.
it would have been
I should have…
‘…is something strange?’
Now that I think about it, something is strange. Why did I get lost while playing hide and seek? Can you forget your childhood mother, who was a star wizard who was superior to anyone else?
“Mom… where did you go…?”

Eventually, the words that came out of my mouth were quite different from what I remembered.
“Mom… How long do I have to hide…? Mom…”
With an anxious expression on my face, I continued to cry out to my mother, but I could not see her face, and the night in the forest began to deepen.
“Wow, I’m scared… heh…”
Until then, after waiting for my mother, trembling in fear, I cried profusely, leaning against a tree, and then I was exhausted and fell asleep.
“Cree…”
And after a while, the wolf found me, who had fallen asleep, and began to slowly approach me.
‘…that’s what happened?’
I was tilting my head because of a memory that was completely different from what I was thinking, and a fireball flew in at a high speed from somewhere.
– Hwareuk!!
“Geek!”
Then, the wolf was hit by a fireball in its tail, and started to run away with the tail lit on fire, and the tail was pulled out.
“What, what?”
Awakening from such a commotion, I looked around and found a red-haired girl in front of me.
She was a young Irina, whom I, who had been playing with my parents secretly in the alley for several months at the time of my dream, ended up making a small acquaintance because I continued to talk one-sidedly.
“You, you…”
“Frey, why are you here?”
“that is…”
Little Irina, who was igniting a fire with one hand and looking at the crude paper with the other, unpacked the paper and put it in her pocket, and began to mutter.
“Okay, now that I have found the first son of the missing duke… If I get the amount written here, I can live on my own for a year.”
“…that, what does that mean?”
When I asked her a little terrified, young Irina answered with a frown on her face.
“The handsome noble Young Master, I don’t know.”
“That, but…”
“Okay, I always say this… I hate talking to nobles. I’m doing this for money in the first place.”
“…yes?”
“Wake up early. Don’t you want to go home?”
Little Irina got nervous about my constant calf, and then I got up urgently and shouted.
“I want to go home! I miss Mommy!”
“Then shut up and follow me.”
“okay…”
So, breaking the darkness, young Irina and I started going down the mountain.
“…By the way, what was that paper?”
“……”
“And, how did you get here? Huh?”
“…Ugh.”
Irina, who was quietly descending the mountain, closed her eyes tightly at my continued question, and immediately began to get nervous.
“Shut up!! You’re getting in the way!!”
“…do I know the way?”
“What?”
But when the young me answered clearly, young Irina, who had a slightly bewildered expression on her face, immediately frowned and asked.
“But why were you missing?”
“Missing? Me?”
“Yeah, according to this paper…”
Having said that, Irina looked down at the paper closely, then froze for a moment, then coughed and turned away.
“Hmm… Anyway, let’s go down.”
“If I go down the mountain, will I be able to see my mother?”
“……..”
“Because your mother told you to hide and never show up?”
“…let’s go.”
So, once again, the two of them, having had a conversation that had never remained in my memory, started tumbling down the mountain.
‘”Ouch…!””
“…under?”
However, from somewhere, the howl of wolves began to be heard.
“”Creep…””
Soon, a large flock of wolves came out and started to surround Irina, and Irina, who watched the wolves with a pathetic expression, grinned and lit flames in her hands.
Then the wolves lowered themselves and began to attack, and the young I, frightened, cling to Irina’s back, sticking my head out and starting to observe the situation.
“…Attack all at once, you scoundrels.”
Meanwhile, Irina finished her words and aimed the flames at the wolves…
– Boom!!
Suddenly, the ground around them vibrated, and when something standing on two legs started walking in the distance, he looked shocked.
“Wow, Were Wolf…? Why are high-level monsters in the forest like this…?”
‘Werewolf’, a high-level monster known to be difficult for even knights and wizards to deal with, began to stare at the young me and her.
“…hib.”
Then I started hiccups in fear, and Irina, who was quietly backing away, whispered to me softly.
“hey.”
“yes…”
“run.”
And the next moment Irina threw a fireball behind her and blew away the wolves, grabbed my arm and started running.
“oo!!
Then, the werewolves and the wolves all started chasing the young me and Irina.
“Damn, if this happens… even if the pay is a little lower, I’ll have to call for support.”
Irina, who was running frantically holding my arm, frowned, gathered fire in her hand and started shooting it into the sky.
– Bump!! pop!!
Then the soaring flames burst out and set fire to the sky, and the moment I watched the scene quite interestingly… Suddenly, everything stopped.
“…what?”
I was perplexed for a while at the sudden situation, but the scene in front of me was erased, and then a new scene began to appear before my eyes as if a painting was being drawn.
“Creep…”
“Heh heh… heh heh…”
The newly appeared scene was quite a desperate situation.
Because the pack of wolves and the werewolves were staring at young Irina and me through the fire wall that young Irina had built.
“Hey, what now?”
“…Damn it, Iljin is ferocious.”
Besides, behind the young me and Irina, there was a cliff holding up.
“…if we go on like this, we won’t last long.”
“Well then…”
“So listen.”
Little Irina, who frowned for a moment, began to whisper quietly to me, who was very frightened.
“When you count to three, you run sideways. I’ll give the Werewolf a shot and follow her.”
“That, but…”
“Wolves aren’t a problem. How can you injure a werewolf, and you’ll be able to easily outrun them.”
Having said that, Irina pushed me aside and started counting.
“One, two, three!!”
At that moment, young Irina ran forward with a spark in her hand, and the young I started running into the space next to it.
“Hey Ab!!”
“Kreuk…!”
Irina, who broke through the barrier of fire and nimble punched the Werewolf’s stomach, immediately turned and tried to escape…
“Kooh!!”
“shit!!”
The cloak was grabbed by the Werewolf, and in the end, it ended up hanging.
“…this, let this go!”
The werewolf, who was trying to escape somehow, lifted up the young Irina, and after biting the wolves around her back, made eye contact with her and started revealing her teeth, and the moment Irina closed her eyes tightly…
“Hey, let her go!!”
The young me, who had picked up a branch from somewhere, slammed the werewolf’s leg violently and screamed.
“Bah, you idiot…”
“Kreuk?”
Then, young Irina began to show a disappointed expression, and the Werewolf, who tilted her head for a moment, quickly kicked the young me vigorously.
“Kuk!!”
Until then, the young me, who had been slamming the Werewolf’s leg hard, didn’t react and was hit with a kick, which caused me to roll over the ground and droop over the edge of a cliff.
“Profit!!”
Little Irina, who was watching me blankly, set fire to both hands and started to wield it at the werewolf…
“Hey, let this go! Let this go…”
“Creek!!”
“Big Black!!”
The werewolf, who grabbed her arms, wanted to get revenge for having been hit by her earlier, and when she hit her on the stomach, she drooped like a young me.
“Cree…”
The werewolf looked at her droopy for a moment, then looked at me in the distance and began to savor.
“…a female werewolf.”
“…Meow.”
While watching the young Irina and me with the black cat, I noticed the Werewolf’s gender and began to sigh.
“Goyang, obviously my memory is… I got lost while playing hide and seek in broad daylight, and was almost attacked by a single wolf.
“Meow…?”
“But why is the female Werewolf looking at me in this dream and eating it? Judging by the feeling similar to the last time, I don’t think it’s just a dream.”
“Meow…”
“And, why do you always come out with me when I have dreams like this…”
“f*ck!!”
While I was confiding the various questions that came to my mind to the cat doll, who was avoiding my eyes, suddenly a scream was heard from far away.
“Fh, Frey…”
“My, hold my hand tight! Irina!”
Irina, who was about to roll off a cliff because the werewolf threw it, was hanging from my hand.
“Cruck!!”
A little embarrassed by the situation, the werewolf hurriedly started running towards us, but…
“Uh-huh!!”
The wind began to shake the ground violently, and the young I, who was holding Irina in danger, lost my center and twisted forward.
“Ahhh!!”
“No, oh, hey!!”
And so, young Irina and I sank down the cliff helplessly.
“…Is it a dream too? If that’s true, there’s no way Irina and I can’t be alive, right?”
“Meow.”
As I stared blankly at the scene, I began to guess for a moment that this wasn’t a real thing, it was just my dream…
– Shoo…
As soon as the scene began to slowly change, he changed his mind.
“Hey… Calm down…!”
“Uh… uh…”
Because Irina, a wet young girl, was shaking me, who was also wet and unconscious.
– Tap… tap…
On the right side of the cage, a river was flowing, and on the left side, the firewood that Irina had made by magic was burning.
– Bump! Bubbly!!
“…Damn, when are you coming?”
Irina, who stopped shaking me for a moment, gathered flames in her left hand, and shot it in the sky, looked at me drooping on the floor and got nervous.
“You idiot… you should just run away… Why are you back?”
Saying that, Irina, who was igniting a flame in her right hand and melting my frozen body, immediately began to mutter with an expression of incomprehension.
“You’re a prosperous aristocrat Young Master… You go out on the streets for entertainment for a while and then make friends with commoners like me as a game… You’re such an unlucky aristocrat…”
“Ugh…”
“By the way… why did you come back again…”
Little Irina, who had been muttering as she looked at me moaning and moaning for a while, hardened her expression when she felt a presence in the distance, and quietly got up from her seat.
“Cree…”
Werewolf, who had been chasing all the way to the bottom of the cliff, was slowly approaching us.
“Profit!!”
Irina, who was glaring at the werewolf, began to blaze with all her might, but…
“Damn, I used some color magic for a while, Mana…”
Since there was almost no mana left in his body, he staggered and collapsed.
‘…color magic is a large-scale magic that can only be performed by 5 magic tower wizards?’
“Kreuk.”
I was a bit startled by the ‘color red’ magic that Irina wrote, but the Werewolf who came right in front of me as a young child looked at me and started to lick my lips.
– Bubbly!!
“Kooh!!!”
However, Irina, who was lying on the floor, hit the fireball in the face of the werewolf with all of her sucking power, and the wind grabbed her face for a moment and started rolling on the ground.
“Father, hurry… get out of here…”
Taking the time, Irina trembled and tried to get up and move, but…
“…ね!”
After stopping for a moment, she glanced at me, who had been drooping up until then, and then started dragging me along.
“Hey, if you just go into the grass over there… you can hide yourself…”
“Cruck!!”
“f*ck!!”
However, her clothes were soaked in water and she had a limit to dragging the heavy day on the boat, and in the end she was caught by the Werewolf.
“oo!!
“Aww!!”

Eventually, the werewolf, who was furious to the point of his head, began to slam her with his fists.
Then the sharp werewolf’s claws began to tear her clothes, leaving deep cross marks on her cheeks.
– Puck! Punk!!
“Ugh… Ugh…”
The werewolf, who had been smashing the young Irina with moderate intensity in order to inflict such maximum pain, grinned and began to aim sharp claws at her neck until she was about to lose consciousness.
“Cree…”
“Damn… the same life…”
Seeing that scene, Irina shed tears from her eyes and spit out swear words in a sad voice, and the next moment, sharp nails wanted to dig into her neck…
– Fast!!
“Cruck!!”
Suddenly there was a dull sound, and the werewolf bubbled and fell in front of her.
“Why… did you come back…?”
Young Irina, who was staring blankly at it, found the young me with her head bowed while holding a thick wooden stick behind the fallen werewolf.
“The Duke of Starlight…”
“Fh, Frey…”
“…weak or strong, it’s a family of heroes that protects them all.”
After finishing those words, the young I added a brief word, then lost consciousness and fell into Irina’s arms.
“…that’s what my mom always told me.”
And, there was a moment of silence.
“Here!! A signal has been fired from here!!”
“Young Master!! Are you okay?”
“Son!!”

Eventually, the Starlight minions and my father hurriedly started running to our place, and at that moment my eyes were once again dyed into darkness.
“…ha.”
So, perhaps having a glimpse of all the presumed memories of my past, I sighed and muttered.
“I… must have awakened the mana of a star only after seeing the prophetic book… It’s like that in the setting…”
“Meow…”
“Now… I don’t know.”
Having said that, I hugged the cat doll, who was looking at me sadly, and lay down in the dark space.

“Young Master… please stand up now…”
Meanwhile, at that time, Frey’s dormitory.
“…you promised to go out with me.”
Kania, who had just escaped from Frey’s unconscious, looked at him with a haggard face and murmured.
“What if I delay my appointment for three months…”
The first semester of Sunrise Academy was coming to an end.
