Chapters 116 – 115. Meeting (1)
【There is no specific time limit, but… If it’s good to live there, wouldn’t it be okay to live forever in your dreams?]
‘Sounds funny. You can never do that. By the way… ‘
This is a really strange outfit.
The knee part protruded like a riding suit, but it was luxurious like that, but not so.
Pants made of soft blue fabric.
And the top was the same blue top.
There was a line drawn in the middle, and if you touch it, it looks like iron, but I’ve never seen or heard of it, at least not where Leopold lived.
But the clothes were not important.
If this is in her dream that Asti is having, she has to hurry up and meet her and return to her original world together.
To do so, she has to hurry up and find her…
‘It’s a strange place.’
Looking around, the buildings that looked much taller than the imperial palace were lined with colorful buildings, including square ones.
There are so many people that I think there are more people than the capital of the empire and the downtown area in the middle of the capital, and each of them is busy heading somewhere.
On the road, a carriage made of iron is speeding along with wheels attached.
‘A carriage that moves without horses. A place where magic is highly developed… Why is Asti having a dream like this?’
Even if you look around, there is a clear difference from the Einhafen Empire.
The streets, the clothes of the people, the buildings… There was not a single corner similar to Einhafen.
It was strange, but it didn’t matter to Leopold now.
Only, where is Asti?
That alone was the most important issue for Leopold.
‘Where should I go?’
I didn’t even know where to go because I had landed in a place I didn’t know at all.
But I can’t even start if I’m standing there stupidly like this.
Rather than stand still, Leopold decided to walk.
There is a direction that somehow pulls the feeling.
【Don’t worry. We will meet naturally.]
As Veracien said with a smirk, I have no choice but to believe that we will meet naturally anyway.
Even if it was the words of the succubus and the demons, I had no choice but to believe them now.
That crazy rumor about entering a dream has been proven to be true—
Also, it is unbelievable.

She — Astrid left early because of her messy hair.
She, of course, didn’t ask for permission, but she left early anyway.
The Koh Pang distribution center was located in a relatively remote location, but if you take a taxi to the subway station, there is no problem returning home.
‘What should I do? How can I go back? And why am I here in Astrid’s body?’
Unanswered questions lingered around in my head.
In her memory, he was clearly a man.
That alone was an unmistakable fact, and the environment she was living in now wasn’t too different from the environment she lived in when she was a man.
All of her memories of living as a man were painted over with memories of living as Astrid, that is, living as a woman, but looking back now, the person in those memories was definitely a man.
But why did he return to Astrid’s body?
Why didn’t he come back as a man?
And whether she brought her divine power back with her.
‘Is the real Astrid doing well?’
Why is she still worried?
‘Leopold… ?’
Is he still thinking about you?
It was full of things that I couldn’t understand at all.
‘It was good until he came back.’
When I feel the rattling vibration on the subway, I fall asleep quickly.
This morning, she woke up early again, so she fell asleep on the train.
“Reaction.”
Even though she fell asleep in the rattling vibration, she woke up with a flash when the name of the station to get off was announced on the broadcast.
It was broad daylight, so there weren’t many people commuting, but since it was a train, there were quite a few passengers on board, and Astrid, who was drooling and sleeping leaning on a support in the last seat, seemed to be quite a spectacle to see.
As soon as she woke up, she wiped the sweat from her mouth and looked around.
As soon as I noticed the gazes on me, I wiped her drool with the hem of her sleeve and quickly got down through the open door.
If you look in your pocket to see if there’s anything you left behind, there’s not much in it, but the wallet and the wallet are broken and cracked here and there, but the smartphone is safely inside.
‘Whew. If you just slept, your mouth will salivate… ‘
Sup, Astrid left the ticket gate and headed for the stairs, wiping once again the spittle that might have gotten on her mouth.
She was exactly on her way.
Until someone grabbed her by the shoulder.
“Asti.”
A gentle male voice.
Astrid’s body stiffened.
Familiar voice.
A voice that I always heard and now know better than anyone else.
Even so, a voice that I couldn’t tell who it was until just yesterday.
Where I looked, there was a golden glow.
Beneath the golden glow, there were eyes shining blue.
And there were people watching around.
“… Let’s move around a bit.”
I recognized it at first sight.
It’s strange that you don’t know
Leopold just blindly walked as his feelings led him.
Even though there was a bizarre-looking building and there were stairs going down to the basement, I was able to go down without hesitation because of that strange certainty.
Over there
If you go over there, you can meet Asti.
I can’t say for sure, but I felt that way.
So Leopold moved his steps without hesitation.
Therefore-
Met.
Could know.
A dull silver, very huge horseless carriage, the first one Leopold had ever seen in his life, entered, and as soon as the door opened, a woman jumped out in a hurry.
I could tell just by looking at the back.
Asti, Asti.
My asti.
There was her
No matter how shabbyly she was dressed, no matter how she covered her hair with her strange-looking hat, Leopold could tell at once.
That woman is Astrid.
Asti, my Asti.
The face that looked back in amazement as soon as he reached her and grabbed her by the shoulder —
Finally, it was Asti.

“I think we met?”
Veracien, who was looking into the crystal ball, smiled.
Veracien, who was watching Leopold and Astrid lying side by side on the bed, tried to approach them, but Warhammer blocked them.
“Don’t go any further, Demon.”
“Oh, you are a demon. Am I a succubus?”
Ashley shook her scar across the tip of her nose.
I didn’t like this succubus from the beginning.
With my sister and brother-in-law asleep and defenseless like this, the only person who can protect them is me.
In the meantime, this succubus tries to get closer to the two of them, so Ashley must risk her life to protect them.
“A succubus or something, it’s a demon after all. So don’t come close. I know what to do.”
“Do nothing. Shouldn’t I go in to get those two out?”
“… The words have changed, demons.”
It is Vera Shien who met and said that if Astrid decides to return, she will take care of herself and she will wake up.
But now that the words have changed again, Ashley tightened his grip on the warhammer hilt.
In any case, if you make a slight mistake, it will be an immediate attack.
“You’re smarter than you look, lump.”
“It’s a lump.”
“Aren’t you sad too?”
“There is nothing to regret.”
“Hehe… “
Seeing Ashley’s stern reply, Vera Shien smiled meaningfully.
She is a succubus, and among those succubuses, she is a noble.
An existence that deceives, seduces, and corrupts humans with sweet words, and thus sucks out their spirit.
“Aren’t you really sorry? Didn’t your sister like it?”
“No. I don’t have those feelings.”
“But you, too, seem to have a desire?”
“… I’ve never seen my sister with that kind of gaze. My older brother is here, so I dare.”
Talking a lot is like being hit in the head.
Veracien smiled faintly.
Maybe something interesting will happen again, so Berashien is looking forward to it.
“Okay, then I won’t go any further. But think about it too. I’m slightly, very slightly… With a little prank, you might make your sister like you?”
“Don’t say anything funny. I am a man of the Grand Duchess of Myterien.”
“What does that mean?”
Verasien could not understand why the Grand Duchess of Mitterien appeared in order to achieve his desire.
I couldn’t understand Ashley’s words.
“Love is only meaningful when you win it yourself. What kind of a man is he if he can’t even win love himself?”
When Berathien backed away without approaching, Ashley also took the Warhammer.
Even so, her vigilance itself was not disturbed.
“Besides, it is said that men and women are the happiest when they are dating a person of the opposite sex who likes to sleep. I have a young lady who likes me. My sister will find her happiness, and I will find my own happiness.”
“… Are there any women who like lumps like you?”
“Don’t lump lumps!”
Ashley burst into annoyance.
