Chapter 24

“I woke up after 300 years only to die so meaninglessly—isn’t that too much? I have enough magical power to dispel dark magic, and through this, I think we could find another way to break the imprint…!”

I shouted rapidly like a machine gun.

“How about we find a way together so you can get revenge on the dark mage? Aren’t you frustrated about being defeated by a human?”

That’s right! You get revenge, and I survive!

“When fighting the dark mage, there’s no guarantee you won’t be affected by dark magic. But if I’m there! You can fight without being caught by dark magic! I’ll help you completely!”

I looked up at Kaisis with desperate, pleading eyes filled with earnest feelings.

* * *

Kaisis was confused.

He had barely broken free from the seal only to be attacked by a dark mage, and when he woke up after losing his memory, some human woman was in front of him.

Moreover, seeing the woman’s eyes that seemed ready to burst into tears at any moment reminded him of someone from the past.

His heart kept softening.

But Kaisis suppressed such feelings and began calculating in his head.

Certainly, it was infuriating that a mere human had dared to attack him.

And with a surprise attack rather than a fair fight, no less.

As Kaisis’s eyes narrowed and showed signs of wavering, Rene desperately shouted.

“Do you know where the dark mage is?”

“No, I don’t know.”

“I’ll find them for you! I’ll help you find them and get revenge…!”

Please spare my life!

“I’ll somehow find a way to break the imprint too!”

Rene spoke earnestly with her hands clasped in front of her chest.

“I’ll beg you with both hands clasped like this.”

For a moment, Kaisis’s eyes wavered.

“I’ll beg you with both hands clasped like this!”

Once again, a vision from the past overlapped.

The woman before his eyes resembled That Woman too much.

That Woman who was no longer in this world.

He even thought it was as if she had been reborn.

Perhaps that was why.

Even though he knew he should kill her, his heart kept wavering.

“And wouldn’t two be better than one? I’m smarter than I look.”

Certainly, keeping the woman alive rather than killing her seemed like it would help in finding the dark mage.

After all, it was true that his desire for revenge against the dark mage was boiling up right now.

Most importantly, as long as the woman kept overlapping with That Woman, killing her wouldn’t be easy.

If he kept her by his side and observed her, he would be able to find differences from That Woman, and then he would no longer see That Woman when looking at her.

Yes, it wouldn’t be too late to decide what to do with this woman then.

“…One month. Find a way to break the imprint within that time.”

That was why Kaisis decided to give Rene a month.

“Understood!”

As Rene nodded her head frantically, Kaisis withdrew his claws.

When Kaisis pulled back his body, Rene hurriedly got up and moved far away from Kaisis.

Fortunately, Kaisis no longer tried to kill Rene.

Confirming that she was finally safe, Rene let out a sigh of relief.

“Th-then let’s find a way to break the imprint and meet again!”

Rene shouted hurriedly, worried that Kaisis’s mind might change as easily as flipping a palm.

Then she quickly ran toward the fountain pen.

Please take me home, please.

It was the moment she reached out, grasped the fountain pen, and desperately pleaded inwardly.

Pop—!

With that sound, her vision flipped, and she finally returned.

To her own room.

Rene let out a sigh of relief and her eyes welled up with tears.

At least she had overcome the crisis of death.

She thought she should first wash up and warm her body while slowly thinking about how to find the dark mage…

“Where is this place?”

Why did Kaisis teleport here with me?

Rene looked back at Kaisis with a flustered face.

Kaisis was looking around with an indifferent expression.

“Th-this is my house, so…”

As Rene stammered in confusion, Kaisis’s eyes narrowed.

Judging by Rene’s reaction, it seemed she had no intention of bringing him along.

She had tried to run away not long after saying she would find a way to break the imprint.

He suspected she might have been playing with him.

“Were you trying to abandon me?”

“N-no?”

He could sense lies in Rene’s words.

Kaisis’s eyes narrowed even more.

* * *

Receiving Kaisis’s sharp gaze, I thought.

If I said I would find the dark mage’s identity and a way to break the imprint by myself, would Kaisis believe me?

No, there’s no way he would.

Then, a way to guarantee safety while staying with Kaisis is…

“A contract! We need to make a contract. Humans make things called contracts.”

Even if it might be just a scrap of paper, it wouldn’t hurt to make one.

I went to the desk, took out paper, and looked around for a pen.

Then I spotted the fountain pen that had fallen on the floor.

That fountain pen was the only pen in the room right now, but I was worried that if I touched it carelessly, I might teleport somewhere unknown again.

I felt reluctant to touch it and was just staring at it when Kaisis strode over and picked up the fountain pen.

“Ah? If you touch that!”

…Nothing happened?

Looking at the fountain pen Kaisis was offering me, I saw that the sparkling golden color had turned black.

It seemed all the magical power in the magical device had been depleted.

“Take it quickly.”

I immediately took the fountain pen and began writing contract terms on the paper.

Then I handed it to Kaisis, who quickly scanned the contract.

I wrote it in the Empire’s language using Rene’s memories, but I wonder if he can read it?

“It’s good to make everything clear, right?”

Kaisis stared at the contract for a while, then looked at me and asked.

“Is your top priority condition that I cause you no harm for one month?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Then what’s my top priority condition?”

“How about Kaisis thinks about that yourself? I don’t know what Kaisis needs…”

Kaisis seemed to ponder for a moment, then nodded, and

Crack—.

He bit his finger.

Kaisis stamped his handprint with the blood droplet that appeared on his fingertip and handed me the contract.

He could have just signed with the fountain pen…

Worried that Kaisis might demand a blood seal from me too, I hurriedly signed.

“Th-then please take care of me from now on.”

I extended my hand to Kaisis, and he looked at my hand for a moment before taking it in his.

Kaisis’s hand was incredibly warm.

Just then, the door suddenly opened and an unwelcome face entered.

It was Louis Sauver.

Ah, why did he have to come now of all times.

As I was wondering how to explain about Kaisis, sure enough, Louis Sauver pointed at Kaisis with his chin.

“Who is that man?”

“Uh, well…”

Louis Sauver’s gaze turned toward Kaisis standing in one corner of the room.

“His name is Kai, and he’s my new guard knight!”

It would be terrible if it was discovered that this man in my bedroom at this manor was the evil dragon Kaisis.

The knights had even set out to subjugate Kaisis.

I might be falsely accused of harboring an evil dragon or something.

Or perhaps Kaisis, captured by the knights in his rage, might kill us all.

So I decided to disguise Kaisis as my guard knight.

“A guard knight?”

“Yes.”

Louis Sauver’s eyes narrowed.

His displeasure was clearly evident in his gaze as he looked Kaisis up and down.

“Don’t you know that appointing a guard knight requires the head of the family’s approval?”

“I was just about to ask the Count for permission.”

“I’m sure Father will gladly give permission to some nobody who came rolling in from who knows where.”

Louis Sauver openly sneered.

“Let’s see how that turns out.”

Louis Sauver gave Kaisis one last sidelong glance before leaving the room.

I sighed and turned to look at Kaisis.

“I’m sorry for lying. The Empire is in an uproar right now about subjugating you. So I couldn’t reveal your identity. If you want, I can help you return to the Northern Mountains…”

“That’s not necessary. I’m going to stay here too.”
