Formerly, The Fallen Daughter of the Duke

4. Strange Dreams

Claire, who left the college, got into the carriage she had dragged the heavy trunk to call for.

Even Claire’s magic can use a degree of magic to protect herself, but only low-level ones that are close to being serious.

I decided to live on my own feet, but it’s a little bit of a ride in the carriage, but now it’s night. Safety comes first.

“Please suddenly, I’m sorry. I suddenly had to head to a separate residence in the territory. Can you get to the EAS post, please?

“I am asking, Master Claire.

“As I’m sure you know, it takes a couple of hours to change horses from here to the AEAS barracks. Rest in peace.”

It was two face-familiar carriagemen from the college who came to me.

(- Good, they can be relieved to leave it to you.

Comfortable sleepers attacked me as I surrendered myself to a hospitable, cushioned carriage chair.

The carriage slowly sets off, and a loose shake draws Claire to sleep.

“You really shouldn’t sleep, but they’ll be fine. Nevertheless, I haven’t slept this much in a long time…”

――――――――

I wonder how long it’s been.

When I opened my eyes, it was a room I didn’t know.

(… a room you don’t know? Yeah, I know this room)

In a fluorescent light as daylight, on the table is the ‘Patisserie Higuchi’ cherry blossom janduya. There is also a line of Stubbs black coffee that Riko bought for me.

And Myself – Minami slept on a qualitative bed that could never be called a shark.

“Oh, Minami, are you awake? I’ve been asleep for about two hours. Hey, listen! In the meantime, I found the most intractable route of the” Become ♡ ETERNAL LOVE “strategy!

says Riko.

(That… wait a minute. Riko…?? I’m Minami… I’m sure I’m Minami… that…)

My head is confused and I don’t know why.

Sure, this is my room, and here is Riko, who I consider myself.

After college today, I came back to this room with my maiden game-loving friend, Riko. Buy your favorite Patisserie and your favorite Janduya and Black Coffee. After all, it’s sweeter than alcohol! I think he managed to say something like that.

“Minami, are you asleep? Well, it’s the beginning of the report, isn’t it?

“… yeah.

It’s supposed to be the usual reply, but it’s uncomfortable. Didn’t we have to say “yes” or “yes” here?

“So, what’s the most difficult route offense! Dear First Prince Asberto! I’ve been attacking you for 2 weeks now and finally cleared it!!

Continue talking about increasing tension as Riko chatters the console controller.

When Lizi pointed her gaze at the monitor screen where she was hanging on, there was Charlotte, Asberto…, a familiar picture.

(… eh?

I can’t swallow anything at all.

(Am I okay with that… that?

What’s on the screen is a still with Charlotte and Asberto staring hot at her tears at tomorrow’s graduation party.

(… well, you’re tired too.

This is a dream. for sorting out sad events and forgetting.

With a blurred head, Liko continues at oddly convincing.

“What was needed for Master Asberto’s offense was the loss of fiancée Claire’s legs! No matter how much I grew fond of heroin, I didn’t get a happy ending, so I figured I’d do something about it. Claire, the branch of leg loss is before her 15th birthday. Just let your second brother throw away a super important letter from his deceased mother to Claire that he keeps in the safe!! The baptism ceremony can be held in the former Lindell National Territory, not in the Noston Nation. Ah, I had a hard time getting my liking to move with your brother!!

(Kind of a real and specific dream…)

Is this a strange dream, which the deep psychology of expecting to unwind as a Duke’s Lady secretly shows?

(You still had untrained.

Claire laughed at herself freaking out and tickling.

“So, what happened to my fiancée Claire after she lost her leg?

I keep wanting to know what dreams I draw in the back of my mind and ask.

“That’s not it, he disappeared alone from the academy and went for a convent at the end of the AEAS barracks in the north, but he said he had no news. Ma, it was a rival character for once, but maybe that’s what it is.

…

Even dreams made it difficult not to see a happy future.

“What more do you want me to do? Master Asberto, route! I made some save data before my fiancée Claire’s 15th birthday.”

Riko gives me the controller.

“Fine, me.

Claire said no with an extraordinary smile.

“Ahead, because I feel like we have a lot of fun ahead of us!

(… I’m kind of sleepy again.

Sleepy, the expression is a little weird. Because this is a dream.

I should have kept another Janduya before I went to sleep.

With that in mind, Claire let go of consciousness again.
