The word "Your Majesty" is used to describe the highest ruler. This is the knowledge the boy learned from the book.

"She is the queen who rules over the Fairy Kingdom and has ruled Britain for nearly two thousand years. You don't need to know too much about Her Majesty. It will only make you disappointed."

“It is better to see clearly where you are at the beginning than to hold on to vain hopes and then fall into despair.”

"I'm talking about you. You don't even have any memory of being a "predecessor". You have no name, no purpose. Don't you know that you are most likely to become Moss in this state?"

Krall said with a frown.

"Moss...?"

"Oh... that's why your ignorance and stupidity are so annoying. You don't know things that are common sense to others, and these things have nothing to do with you. You won't encounter any Moss in Salisbury..."

"Kral...are you worried about me?"

"Ok?"

Klar was slightly stunned, obviously not expecting the boy to say such a thing out of the blue.

"...Don't think too much, and quickly put away your naive thoughts. I can tolerate what you said to me this time, but it would be dangerous if you said such things in front of others."

"I see."

She had been planning to teach him something today, but ended up wasting the time she had managed to squeeze out from the many affairs of Salisbury because of all this endless nonsense.

"Ah... I can't accompany you today, but I will bring some books tomorrow. If you don't understand anything, read it first. No matter what, you should know what kind of environment you are in. If you don't understand anything, I will answer you tomorrow."

Klar stood up, gave a brief explanation and prepared to leave.

"Klar is busy?"

The boy's question made Klar stop again.

"Yes."

"If Clare is very busy, he doesn't have to accompany me every day. He must be very tired running around all the time, right?"

"...I know all that, but I'm not at the point where I'll be hurt if I don't get enough rest. It would be better if you work a little harder, then I won't have to look after you, right?"

"Yes...I'm sorry."

"Nothing, I don't mean to blame you."

Facing a young man who always cared about others involuntarily, it was hard for Klar to harbor any ill feelings towards him. He just looked back at him and walked out of the room.

"left……"

The boy watched Klar leave the room and couldn't help but whisper.

"But then again, the new book..."

He tidied up the books on the table a little, and then put them neatly back on the bookshelf.

"what are you doing?"

The door was pushed open, and the boy was startled. He turned around quickly, just in time to see the dragon fairy who picked him up in the dim dragon skeleton swamp.

"Ah...you're here."

The young man couldn't help but smile. He put down the book in his hand and walked towards the beautiful dragon fairy.

"Klar said she couldn't make the decision about you, so you won't come to see me."

The ignorant boy will let down all his defenses only when facing her.

Even though he couldn't explain it clearly, he couldn't help but feel at ease when he saw her, probably because she saved him.

"Well...she is indeed right about that, but I still came to see you."

The dragon fairy smiled faintly, like an orchid that was accidentally glimpsed, quietly blooming in a quiet place.

"Okay, come on, sit down."

The dragon fairy could not forget the boy's sad and fragile appearance when she just picked him up from the Dragon Skeleton Swamp, and then she took the boy's hand and sat down at the table.

"........."

His hand was held like this...a blush appeared on the boy's face.

"I'm sorry I couldn't come see you yesterday. How are you doing here? Are you used to it?"

"Well... everything is good here. Aurora and Clare came to see me when you were away, and Clare was also very nice to me."

"That puts me at ease."

The beautiful eyebrows then curved into a beautiful crescent shape.

"Oh, right."

"Have you thought of anything these days?"

The boy tilted his head: "What?"

"That's it. Your name, memories, or records about the "previous generation" or something. In short, it's something related to "your past self."

She asked somewhat seriously.

But even so, the boy thought for a moment and finally just shook his head slightly.

"No... I really have forgotten it completely."

The boy's tone was somewhat lost.

"I see. Having no name and no purpose is very dangerous for fairies. Fairies that lose their names and purposes will quickly become weak and eventually turn into monsters like Moss, with nothing left."

The Dragon Fairy explains to the boy why fairies cannot lose their names and purpose.

"...Sure enough, should I give you a new name?"

"No."

Surprisingly, the boy rejected the Dragon Fairy's kindness very seriously.

"Why? If I lose my name and purpose, regardless of how I start, I will definitely become Moss in the end! Is that okay?"

The dragon fairy asked seriously.

"As for names, I think I already have one before, so I don't need a new one. Besides, as long as there is a purpose, it's good enough, right?"

"Is this really okay? So what is your purpose...?"

While asking this, the Dragon Fairy noticed that the boy's eyes were on her and never left her.

"Well, I've been thinking about it a little bit these past few days. You saved me, so I want to repay you."

The boy said very seriously.

"——Eh? Do you regard me as your target?"

There was some surprise in the Dragon Fairy's tone, "No, I don't need you to do anything, so there's no question of repaying you."

"So, I will stay by your side until you think of me or need me."

The young man looked at the dragon fairy with a hopeful look in his eyes.

"Well...even if you say so...never mind."

The dragon fairy felt somewhat helpless, and at the same time she couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Although this was something she had experienced personally, she was also picked up from the lake by someone. Was this a curse in some sense?

"Then let's just do as you said. As long as there is a purpose, it's fine... But if we work backwards from this direction, doesn't it mean that you are unconsciously resisting me giving you a new name?"

Facing the question from the white-haired girl, the boy thought for a moment and then said, "Well, that's probably true. Even I can't figure it out..."

"Although I am so confused about the emptiness of the past that it feels like a big hole has been torn in my chest, there are still many things that I can't explain left... For the me in the past, this must be a very important existence."

The boy couldn't help but place his hand gently on his chest, feeling the only remaining aftertaste.

“…Hmm.”

Looking at the smiling boy, the dragon fairy also smiled faintly.

...I guess, in the past/the previous generation, he was a very happy person.

"Well, until then, stay with me."

“First, start with the most basic things: knowing that you exist, knowing where you are, and finally knowing what you are going to accomplish.”

"Hmm... Is that the question of 'who am I, where am I, and what am I supposed to do'?"

"Yeah, that's it."

The dragon fairy nodded.

Pseudo-Act 4: Remaining fragments

"Ahem... nice to meet you. My name is Meilushin... that's it."

The dragon fairy demonstrated to the boy.

"Yeah, although this isn't the first time we meet, hello, Meilushin, my name is..."

The boy wanted to imitate the dragon fairy, but he stopped mid-sentence.

"No...I still can't remember."

The boy always felt a tightness in his chest. Whenever his former name was about to come out, the void inside that dug through his entire chest could only make him exhale an unspeakable breath.

"It would be better to give you a name..."

Meilushin looked at the boy's miserable expression and her mood didn't feel much better.

"…No need, I can still accept this."

The boy smiled, but this time the smile seemed a little forced.

"Okay, let's not mention the name. Let's move on to the next step. Knowing where you are is indeed the easiest thing. After all, Klar has already told you."

"This is the Great Cathedral of Britain, the Fairy Country, Salisbury."

"Well, I know that, but I don't have any impression of the Fairy Kingdom, Britain, Salisbury, etc...."

The boy looked a little lost.

"It doesn't matter. You just need to remember that this is where you will live from now on. In other words, it's okay to treat it as your home..."

As the dragon fairy was speaking, she saw tears falling from the lost boy's eyes.

"Hey, hey, why are you crying?!"

"But... this is not home... I can't remember... I can't remember at all..."

The clear tears that fell from those starry eyes dropped like pearls. The dragon fairy never thought that just by saying this, the other party would be so anxious that he cried.

"Wu...Okay, okay, didn't you agree to repay me with me as your goal? It doesn't matter to me. If you can't remember, you can think about it slowly. As long as you still have a goal, you can keep recalling until you remember it, right?"

The dragon fairy used the perfect scumbag quotes to comfort the boy who was crying because of her.

"Uh...hmm."

The young man let the dragon fairy wipe away his tears with a crying voice.

"Ah...really...you're a man, but you cry like a little girl...cough cough cough."

The dragon fairy complained silently.

"Then... then there's the last thing. What you decide to do actually determines your lifestyle."

"Well...so, I want to repay you."

The boy said softly after his tears were wiped away.

"I've already said that I don't need anything in return."

The dragon fairy said helplessly.

"But...any method is fine. You can ask me to do anything. It's okay for me to protect you."

"protect me?"

The dragon fairy was stunned, and then couldn't help but laugh at the boy's serious words.

“Puchi… Hehuhu… I don’t need your protection, okay? I’m the strongest, I don’t need anyone’s protection at all.”
