A dull longsword and a heartbroken villager

"Ah...the sky is so blue." Carlogaris took one last look at the azure sky, and one last look at Shalom.

Through the crack in the door, he felt the beauty of the world.

"Boom—" The door slammed shut, never to be opened again.

This is the cage that the hero desired, a cage that could keep him imprisoned for thousands of years.

Bray stood in the crowd and watched the whole thing unfold.

When did he start watching it? Nobody knows.

He simply understood what kind of life the tragic hero he had killed had led.

"..." Dorothea touched the corner of her moist eye with her hand.

"Damn it..." she muttered to herself, trying to compose herself.

“You cried.” Bray said expressionlessly, his back to Dorothea.

"Only someone like you can't cry."

“I can’t imagine you crying,” Bray said quietly.

There was no sound, yet a mournful melody seemed to echo around.

“Let’s go back, Prophet,” Bray said to the Prophet.

“Welcome back, my ally,” Nick Boras said, sprawled on the sofa to Bray, who sat in the next room looking on in shock.

Bray was still holding the stone tablet in his hand, clearly unaware that he had already left that fictional historical scene.

"I'm back?" Bray was still a little dazed and couldn't help but ask Nick Bolas, who was closest to him.

“Yes, you’re back. You were inside for about a day,” Nicopolis said in a relaxed tone.

However, these lighthearted words were like a thunderbolt to Bray.

"A day!?" Bray thought it would be like the things he had "played" with before, and that he would be back in an instant.

Who knew a whole day would pass in the real world?

“I’m going back…” Bray quickly tossed the stone tablet to Nick Bolas.

"Hey hey hey!?" Nicopolis, who was lying down, quickly got up and grabbed the stone slab.

Bray then ran out of Nick Boras's house and headed back home without looking back.

"What? It's all because my ally was in such a hurry that I lost my composure." Nickbolas flicked the stone slab in his small hand with disdain. Bray's anxious appearance made him forget for a moment that he didn't need to catch the stone slab himself.

Nicopolis threw the stone tablet behind him, and it floated in mid-air as if something was holding it down.

"Little Nick, put this stone tablet away." Nick Boras yawned widely and instructed Little Nick, who was not far away.

"Understood! Great Lord Nickbolas!" Little Nick flew over nimbly, then took the stone tablet and flew towards the warehouse.

"He left without even saying what he thought of the film. What an impolite ally," Nick Bolas shrugged.

He had originally intended to hear Bray's thoughts, but unexpectedly, he simply slipped away.

Never mind, I'll have plenty of time to ask him later.

"I'm home!" Bray, covered in sweat, pushed open the door.

The sweat wasn't from exhaustion, but from anxiety.

“It’s too late.” Naruko knelt on the ground, looking at Bray with a regretful expression.

"How could this be..." Bray covered his forehead, somewhat unwilling to accept reality.

“Levy has already…” Naruko pursed her lips, revealing a very sad expression.

“Levy, she’s already…” The pink-haired girl looked at Bray with teary eyes, her voice seemingly choked with sobs.

"It's turned into a useless lion!!!"

"..." Bray slumped against the wall, then sat down on the floor.

As expected, it ended up like this.

On the floor, Levy curled up on her side, making a QAQ face.

The little girl, with a look of utter exasperation, kept muttering to herself.

"Bray doesn't want Levy anymore."

"Bray doesn't want Levy anymore."

"Bray doesn't want Levy anymore."

Levy whispered frantically, occasionally sniffing.

Although Levy has gradually become more independent over the years, she can manage even if Bray leaves her alone.

However, this is on the premise that Bray provides an explanation.

This time, Bray said nothing and disappeared for a full day.

For Levy, it was as devastating as if the world had lost all its dried fish.

On the first day without Bray, Rabie died.

"Say something already! Dead fish eyes!" Naruko was also at a loss. She didn't know what to do with Levy, who was in a useless lion state.

Even if Levy used Bray's money to buy lots of food, Levy had no appetite at all.

"You scum, you idiot, you bastard who plays with little girls' hearts," Naruko cursed at Bree with disdain.

"..." Although he felt that Naruko's insults were somewhat inappropriate, at this point, Bray could only choose to swallow his anger.

After all, Levy's current state is her own fault.

“Levy, I’m home.” Bray picked up Levy, who was lying on the ground like a toy.

“Hmm…” Levy made a muffled “hmm” sound.

The little girl's body was limp and boneless.

"Oh no, this is serious," Bray murmured. Levy looked like a liquid.

"Sigh." Helpless, Bray could only sit quietly in the chair, holding Levy in his arms.

"Ugh!" After a long time, Levy finally reacted.

"It tastes like Bray." Levy's expression changed to 0A0, at least she wasn't as frustrated as before.

"Bray, are you back?"

"You're back." Seeing that Levy had cheered up a little, Bray breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mmm." Levy nuzzled Bray and gave a cute smile.

"Didn't Bray say he didn't want Levy anymore?"

"No, I just got lost," Bray explained.

He was indeed lost; he had gotten lost in the past, so it wasn't exactly a lie to Levy.

"Really?" Levy blinked.

"real."

"Mmm." So Levy believed it, because it was Bray who said it, so he wouldn't lie.

"Meow~" The fireball coiled on Levy's head meowed contentedly after seeing that its little master was a little more normal.

"Oh, that's good." Naruko pouted. No matter how she tried to persuade her, it was no use. On the contrary, Levy was fine as soon as Bray came back.

"She's so clingy to you." She was jealous.

"It's fine." Bray closed his right eye and quietly held Levy as they rested.

Honestly, rushing back after just leaving the stone slab was exhausting.

If I could, I really wish I could get a good night's sleep.

It's best not to take any work in the near future.

While Bray prayed for a moment of rest, Dorothea returned to her castle.

On the crystal-blue throne, the stunningly beautiful queen gripped the stone slab in her hand, lost in the city for a long time.

"Your Majesty, you're finally back!!!!" Rukia said irritably upon seeing the Empress.

Although this wasn't the first time Dorothea had suddenly disappeared like this.

But it's always a headache, after all, she is the Empress of Baiting Kingdom.

"Yes, I'm back." Dorothea nodded slightly, only smiling when she saw Rukia's angry expression.

"Sigh..." Rukia blushed when she saw her smile and looked away.

"Despite your willful nature, I still have to say something—"

“Welcome, Your Majesty,” Rukia said respectfully, kneeling down on one knee.

"Hey, what has His Majesty been doing? He's been gone for a whole day." A quirky girl appeared behind Dorothea.

She is Nyarlathotep, one of the Three Warriors, with a huge axe behind her that is disproportionate to her size.

"What did I do?" Dorothea's lips curved into a beautiful smile.

"I read a bit of a story that wasn't bad," Dorothea said.

That poignant love story is deeply moving.

Dorothea, the Queen of the White Court, is powerful, arrogant, and enjoys reading love stories.

She was very satisfied with this diary. Hello everyone! This is Naruko! Naruko's Naru, Naruko's Ko, her real name is Yunming.

I've been living a very leisurely life at Dead Fish Eyes' house for the past few years.

Aside from the dead fish eyes being difficult to deal with, everything went smoothly.

Of course, when will little Bleu or little Bleu be born? That is the question.

After all, dead fish eyes are too hard to approach. He's clearly a good man, so why won't he accept a beautiful girl like me?

Isn't being loved by a beautiful girl every man's dream? Preferably the kind where she throws herself at him.

Seriously, what's wrong with this guy?

Huh? I suddenly feel a bit nauseous and want to throw up. Could this be the legendary morning sickness?

Great news! I'm pregnant and going to be a mom!

---

"Dead fish eyes! Aaaaaaaah!!" Naruko let out a scream that shook the heavens and moved the earth.

Bray, who was stroking Levy's head, instinctively covered his ears.

Lebby, who was lying limply on Bray's lap, couldn't help but twitch her ears and showed a sad expression.

"Sister, you can't listen to noise." Xiaoxue gently covered Xiaoyou's ears, a sweet smile on her lips.

"Hmm...it's alright, not too noisy," Xiao You mumbled, eating her food.

Actually, it doesn't matter if Xiaoxue doesn't cover His ears.

However, he found it a little strange that Naruko suddenly screamed.

He did not perceive anything strange happening.

"Naruko is so noisy," Levy said with extreme disgust.

Has Naruko finally fallen to a position below Levy?

“You’re so noisy.” Bray glanced with his right eye at the source of the scream.

"I'm pregnant!" Naruko exclaimed, jumping out from the corner of the wall.

"Oh," Bray replied indifferently.
