A dull longsword and a heartbroken villager

"Ulitina, this kind of thing is definitely not my forte."

“Caesar, if you don’t challenge yourself, you won’t know what you can do!” the girl called Ulitina said confidently.

“But since you’ve said so, let’s go down.” Ulitina thought for a moment, realizing it wouldn’t be good to put Caesar in a difficult position, so she said.

"Mmm! Let me carry you down." She suddenly had a brilliant idea.

After hearing what Ulitina said, Caesar couldn't help but laugh.

Just as he was about to say something, his foot suddenly slipped, and he fell off the side of the roof.

Ulitina moved almost instantly, and if nothing unexpected happened, she could completely save Caesar.

Despite her appearance, she is a great general of the Mengjiama Empire.

She was absolutely powerful, becoming a great general at a young age thanks to an incredible talent that seemed to come from nowhere.

He could defeat regular soldiers with a spear when he was young, and easily kill a giant beast before he was even thirteen years old.

Her life trajectory is like that of a mythical hero—unbelievable and overwhelmingly powerful.

For her, saving a wayward boy in this situation was more than enough!

"Huh?" But Ulitina couldn't grab Caesar's hand for a long time.

Instead, I saw her freeze in place.

A one-eyed man rescued Caesar from falling by carrying him in a princess carry.

Simply because that guy happened to be right under the roof.

"What! I was here first!" The girl's eyes widened.

This red rose on the battlefield is in a state of extreme shock.

Bray, who rescued Caesar, was also a bit stunned.

He tilted his head, never expecting that the guy he was watching would fall down so suddenly.

Therefore, running and playing on the roof is not a safe thing to do.

---

Bray later learned the girl's and boy's names.

Ulitina and Caesar.

Of course, this handsome young man seemed to be a little older than Bray.

As for Ulitina, she is the youngest.

To Bray's bewilderment, from the very first moment they met, Ulitina seemed to be very unhappy with him.

Strange, really strange, this should be the first time he's met Ulitina.

Oh, maybe it's because he carried Caesar in a princess carry?

“Don’t worry, I’m not gay,” Bray suddenly said to Ulitina.

Upon hearing this, Ulitina's face immediately turned red.

"Caesar, let's go to the bridge. Don't pay any attention to this guy!"

“Ulitina, this isn’t right. He saved me.” Caesar stroked Ulitina’s blonde hair with a loving expression and said softly.

“Hmm…” Although Ulitina still had objections and looked at Bray with displeasure, she ultimately did not continue speaking.

"I am a great general! Of course I wouldn't be so petty!"

“Then let’s throw a big banquet to thank him,” Ulitina said with a confident wave of her hand.

Normally, if she just waves her hand like that, a thousand troops would rush out from behind her.

The cat charm on Ulitina's body swayed with her movements, as if it had come to life.

“No need for that,” Caesar said, rubbing his forehead.

"In return, how about giving me something to eat?" Bray interrupted their conversation.

"Food?" Caesar pondered for a moment.

"Then come to my shop, I'll get you something to eat."

Bray nodded readily, while Ulitina beside him said things like, "Since you're hungry, why don't you let me have a feast to thank you?"

Bray could only say that this girl was probably not normal.

Such remarks are on the same level as "Why not eat meat porridge?"—outrageous things only high-ranking officials and nobles would say.

What Bray didn't expect was that Ulitina was not only a high-ranking official, but also a great general.

The kind where one person leads the entire army.

Completely unaware of the situation, Bray followed Caesar into the shop in a daze.

Caesar's shop was not a food store, but a general store.

But since it's a general store, isn't it common sense to sell food?

"Have any particularly strange things happened in your town?" Bray asked casually after he had finished eating.

Ulitina didn't answer, because she was still waiting for Bray, the third wheel, to leave.

Yes, Ulitina admitted that she liked Caesar, but she just hadn't confessed.

No, in romantic stories, it's always the man who confesses his feelings, and she has to hold back.

No, no! She couldn't take it anymore.

Damn it, when is this blind guy finally going to leave?

“Strange thing?” Caesar was a little puzzled by Bray’s question.

According to Bray, he was shipwrecked and washed ashore.

Normally, the first thing someone would ask if they were washed ashore in an unfamiliar place is this kind of thing.

After thinking for a moment, Caesar decided to give Bray a proper answer.

But Ulitina suddenly spoke up.

"I'm leaving," Ulitina said in a complicated tone.

"Ulitina?"

“Let’s go to the bridge tomorrow,” she stammered to Caesar.

"Don't let me see this guy!" After stammering, she immediately glared at Bray.

Bray blinked his right eye without realizing it.

Before he could react, Ulitina barged in and stormed out.

Caesar knew what was going on, but for him, it wouldn't be right to leave the person who saved him alone.

"I will definitely go tomorrow."

"Should I bring my harmonica?" Caesar asked with a smile even after the door was closed.

"Yes!" The door opened a crack, and Ulitina poked her face out, blushing as she spoke to Caesar.

"Bang!" The door slammed shut after she finished speaking, and this time she was really gone.

"All-you-can-eat dog food?" Bray glanced at Caesar.

"..." Caesar was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to respond.

Suddenly, he realized it was better for Ulitina to leave early... otherwise, this awkward conversation would have left him feeling lost.

“By the way, you were asking about any strange things happening in town, right?” Caesar said.

“Hmm.” Bray nodded.

"Nothing strange happens in the town, but Mengjiama does."

"For example?"

"For example, if there is no war, but the emperor suddenly conscripts a large number of soldiers, does that count?"

“Uh,” Brey said, stammering.

You say it's not strange, but it does seem quite strange.

"Anything else? Like some things that are really unreal."

"Something unreal?"

"It makes you wonder if this world is even real." Breton paused, then became more specific.

After Bray said this, Caesar first smiled, finding his question strange.

But gradually, Caesar's smile faded.

He hadn't expected to be able to answer Bray's question, yet he suddenly felt dizzy.

I had the illusion that I was about to split open.

The usual joking remark about "I'm cracking" was somewhat understandable to Caesar at this moment.

"Are you alright?" Bray patted Caesar, who seemed quite unwell, and couldn't help but ask.

"I'm fine, thankfully." Caesar waved his hand, indicating that he was alright.

“I don’t think there’s anything that would make people doubt that this world is real,” he shook his head, answering Bray’s earlier question.

"Alright." Bray didn't press the matter further.

As for why he didn't ask, it's because he had already found the answer he wanted.

Something strange just happened right before Bray's eyes.

With Caesar in a very strange state, Bray saw double images on him.

How could a normal person suddenly experience double vision? Bray certainly didn't have a problem with his eyes.

"You should get some rest."

"Okay... By the way, if you don't have anywhere to stay, you can stay with me for now," Caesar said with a smile in response to Bray's kindness, adding that sentence.

"Thank you, I was just worried about not having a place to stay."

"You're welcome. Without you, I might have died from the fall." Bray successfully got a free meal and drinks...

No, it means they successfully found a base.

He then devoted most of his time to analyzing Caesar's strange phenomena.

He would remind Caesar from time to time that this world was not real, trying to find flaws in his argument.

Because Bray felt that Caesar was very likely the self-will hidden within this vast mental world.

Caesar is just too "real," although everyone else seems real too. But to be honest, Bray always feels something is off, except for Caesar.

Watching Caesar and Ulitina display their affection on the sidelines, Bray seriously suspected that this was a mental world created by Caesar to reminisce about his own love affair.

What kind of nonsense is this? And besides, is the mind really that convenient as the world?

This led to Bray constantly yelling things like "Change it, change it for me!" whenever he looked at "The Last Song".

Unexpectedly, Bray was able to communicate with the longsword successfully in the end.

Dead Fish Eyes was shocked all day, but he never expected that things would really change in the end. Is this story telling him that anything is possible as long as you persevere?

Unfortunately, "Jue Xiang" is a very shy girl who speaks very little and will cover her face with a book when she sees herself.

Ahem, the topic seems to be getting further and further off track.

Getting back to the main point, Bray has been analyzing this mental world without any results.

He originally thought that his life of eating dog food to his heart's content would continue for a long time, but an "accident" ruined this repetitive period.

Caesar was captured, imprisoned for a period of time, and then executed.

Bray planned to rescue Caesar, but unfortunately, he didn't make it in time.

He had never truly witnessed a head roll in his entire life, but this time, he did.

It was still the scene of the Caesars' heads rolling that he had taken care of for a long time.
