Immortals From My Past Life Are Still Obsessed With the Reincarnated Me

3 – Dane (3)

After the children were taken care of, I thought about what to do for a while.

I heard that Justina is older than me, but even so, Elfin and Liwin are children of that age no matter what anyone says.

I had experience beheading all kinds of monsters and humans, but I had no experience raising children, so I had no choice but to be embarrassed.

‘How do you raise children? Doesn’t it grow up on its own as long as you feed it and sleep well?’

Of course not. I had to pay the price for thinking that raising three children was as easy as watering potted plants.

“Where did Elfin go again?!”

“They say they like the forest. Maybe it’s because I’m an elf.”

“You wouldn’t know the way…… ?”

“Huh, wait for me. The original daughter will bring it soon.”

“Thank you… Wait, doesn’t Justina also know the way here?”

“D-Dragon, this much… Didn’t I say that I’m much older than you, a human being? Not being respectful is rude!”

Justina, an elfin who wanders around without taking her eyes off her for a moment, her pride is strong but she knows nothing about the human world.

Liwin was at least a gentle child, but seeing that she always played well alone, these two were the biggest trouble.

Among them, if I had to choose the first place, it was the elfin who walked through this rugged mountain valley with the body of a child.

‘If I drain her stamina, she won’t be able to run around freely.’

Elfin couldn’t believe she was a girl. She was full of energy. It was like she was looking at me as a child.

Looking back on her past based on her experience, I naturally remembered how Mr. Phil Burton had drained me.

“Elfin, would you like to play a simple game with the old man?”

“Huh? What? I’m going to do it, I’m going to do it!”

It was thanks to Uncle Philburton’s teachings that I first learned the art of assassination, though I am now vastly outnumbered.

Because he wanders all over the place every day, the judgment that trained him to lose his energy made him the best assassin.

I applied the answers I found in the past to Elfin as well.

“Elfin, have you ever heard of an assassin?”

“Assassin? I know what…….”

I briefly told you about my experience as an assassin.

Elfin’s eyes twinkled as he unwrapped the bundle of stories one by one.

I don’t know if I had a storyteller’s talent that I didn’t know about, or if Elfin was interested in being an assassin.

‘Maybe the latter.’

Elfin is in his early teens. She’s just at the right time to consider herself incredibly special.

She’s not weird about being an elfin. At that time, everyone is like that.

Of course, she is a rare elf, and she was banished as a cursed child, so she is special in her own way, but she is…….

“I want to do it! I want to, being an assassin!”

“Shall I tell you?”

“Yes! Let me know!!”

It was a story that there was no choice but to come over by itself if you roughly set the mood and say it like this.

To be honest, it wouldn’t have mattered if I wasn’t an assassin, but I was also putting my hopes on Elfin in my own way.

‘I wanted to raise a disciple at least once.’

Whether my plan succeeds or fails, it was clear that the Resistance would have to fight for a while longer.

But at that time, it was clear that I wouldn’t be there.

So, what if I raised a disciple to fill my place?

Of course, even if an elfin learned a skill from me, there was no guarantee that he would help the resistance, but it was worth the risk.

“Then let’s start with footwork.”

“Eh, are you not going to catch the sword?”

“That’s later. Footwork is the basis of anything.”

After I made up my mind, I taught elfin every day.

Fortunately, Elfin was also interested and devoted all his energy to learning assassination techniques from me.

Starting with the basics, she progressed steadily through the advanced courses, which resulted in less wandering and trouble-making.

“I want to try it too!”

“Kuuu?! How can you walk so lightly?! Actually, the elfin was not an elf, but a cat beast?!”

The sight of Elfin practicing seemed interesting, so Liwin and Justina were also caught in the middle, but Elfin was distinctly different from them.

‘The growth rate is very fast.’

Is it said that a genius recognizes a genius?

I heard about it a long time later, but it is said that Mr. Philverton was shocked at the point not long after he taught me the art of assassination.

If you teach one, you will know ten, and in the time you learn ten, you will realize one hundred.

Uncle Philburton was a gifted assassin, albeit not as good as I was, so he realized that I was a genius beyond genius.

“How was it? Do you think you did well?!”

“…… Uh.”

“Huh? What’s wrong all of a sudden?”

“No, good job. You did very well.”

When I saw Elfin, I could understand Mr. Philburton at the time.

I noticed after just a few days of teaching that Elfin’s combat sense was equal to or better than mine.

However, I didn’t feel inferiority or a desire to win at all.

I was just dazzled by his brilliant talent.

‘Because I’m going to die soon, I might have felt that it was meaningless.’

Not only that, the growth potential of Elfin was unmatched by any other human in this world, let alone me.

I became the best assassin on the continent when I was only in my mid-twenties, but didn’t the elfin have a much longer lifespan even with talent similar to mine?

Unlike humans, there is almost no aging or slowing down of the body.

‘If we continue to grow like this, what the hell will Elfin look like 100 or 200 years from now… ….’

I shuddered at the thought of a monster appearing that would make history books rewritten from scratch.

‘It’s a wasteful vessel to remain as an assassin.’

But I was rather skeptical.

Because I’ve spent well over 10 years as an assassin, I know how badly the job of an assassin is treated.

Elfin not only has great talent as an assassin, but all his stats were overwhelming throughout the battle.

If he was born in a turbulent world, he would become a hero, and if the notorious demon king of the past was resurrected, he would become a hero.

“But Master, is this also a way to assassinate?”

“Of course.”

“Just cutting down everything in sight is assassination? Aren’t you practicing hiding footsteps and footsteps right now?”

“Anyway, if there are no witnesses left, it’s an assassination. If the enemy surrounds you, you can just kill them all and leave.”

“…… That’s right?”

“That’s right.”

After asking her to continue practicing, ignoring Elfin, who looked at me with her suspicious eyes, I pictured her future.

‘I’m sure he’ll become a great warrior.’

The only regret was that I couldn’t see it with my own two eyes.

***

The battle training focused on elves, but that didn’t mean they left the other kids alone.

“Haven’t I already told you dozens of times! She is many times older than a human like you, so she has nothing to worry about!”

“It’s okay, so come here. Her clothes don’t have to be tied.”

“Ugh, that’s it. Doesn’t she say she can do it alone….”

“…… Really?”

Justina pursed her lips and stretched out her arms, struggling to tie the laces on the back of her dress.

I was just tying the laces, but it was hard to hold back a laugh when I saw that my face was red as if I was going through some kind of terrible ordeal.

‘Is this a dragon? Is this the archmage?’

It was definitely the first time I had been with a dragon for such a long time, so I felt new every day.

A little dragon who can’t even tie a string by himself.

The point of laughter was that he had a lot of pride as a dragon even though he only showed such a cute side of Heo Dang.

“Can I really not help?”

“…… Ugh.”

“Hmm, if you’re shy, you can just turn around without saying anything.”

“Keuuu… human… To give such a disgrace to Justina Northre on Dragius II… We dragons will never forget….”

“Right, well done. Should I stay still now?”

I just tied the laces of my dress, but it was really hard to hold back my laughter when I saw her giggling as if she had been humiliated.

“Kuhup, are you really a dragon?”

“How many times have I not shown you magic! Why don’t you believe me!”

“But why do I know nothing like this? Dragons live a long time, so shouldn’t they know a lot?”

Justina slightly lowered her head, lowered her gaze, and repeatedly grabbed and released the front of her dress as if kneading it.

Then she finally opened her mouth as if she had decided something.

“Unlike her parents and her siblings, this is the first time she has ever been to the human world to play… There may be something she doesn’t know.”

“Then you don’t even wear dresses in a neighborhood where dragons live?”

“Isn’t it obvious! He’s in human form now, but he’s in his true form there… Ugh….”

While talking, Justina’s pale face turned red, as if she had suddenly realized that she had been exposed to the fact that she was naked in her house.

“Ah, anyway! She looked around the world and learned this and that, and came out of Yu-hee to find her dream, so don’t be too harsh if the original girl is not good at something as a human being!”

“Looking for a dream?”

“… Okay.”

Justina’s words made me a little intrigued.

Wanting to hear more of her story, I stared at Justina, who was pretending to be noble with her arms crossed, and she pouted and sweated.

“That, don’t stare at me with such curious eyes!”

“What can I do if I am curious?”

“Well, it’s not a big secret, so I can tell you….”

Justina pouted her mouth.

“Did you know that old dragons have no dreams?”

“What do you mean?”

“Everybody must have had a dream. But after so much time has passed and I’ve gotten too old to count, I can’t even remember what it was.”

“… ….”

Something was difficult to understand.

I just feel that the world of dragons is very different from that of humans.

But what I was curious about was Justina’s story, not the other old dragons.

It’s also the fact that this is the first game, and Justina doesn’t look like an old dragon.

“And, in her own way, she is one of the youngest dragons. Oh, of course, since I’m much older than you as a human, I’ll always be banned from speaking in a casual way, okay?”

“Okay, so what is your dream?”

“Lee Lee Ik… ! You can’t even hear what the original woman is saying!”

With a sigh, Justina lifted her tiny feet in her boots and knocked her on the ground a few times, taking in her breath to cool her heat.

“…… That is the problem.”

“What?”

“It is said that dreams disappear when you get older, but shouldn’t you have dreams when you are young? But she is a real woman, and she has nothing to call a dream.”

“Oh, so… ….”

“Wouldn’t it be possible to come up with something you want to do or a dream if you wander around the human world… That’s what I’m looking forward to.”

I gently closed my eyes and looked at Justina, who was setting the mood.

Somehow, unlike before, I got a feeling that it was new because I showed a serious look, but the perception that I was really like a child became stronger.

Even if you wander because you can’t decide on your dream or career path, when you get older, you forget even that dream and become an adult who lives only in reality.

‘It’s like a dragon or a human.’

An unknown bitter taste lingered in my mouth.

“Hmm, then tell me too.”

“Huh?”

“Ba, didn’t you ask about the dream of the girl you just saw! Then, conversely, it would be natural for you to tell me your dreams as well!”

“… What? No, you didn’t even tell me in the first place. I said I don’t know.”

“Isn’t not knowing a kind of answer?”

Seeing Justina giggling as if she was one step ahead, the night was longing for a good night, but this time I was also lost in thought for a moment.

‘My dream?’

I couldn’t think of anything in particular that could be called a dream.

Of course, it is not a dream, but a goal.

To overthrow the country itself after cutting the heads of the king and other high-ranking people in this country.

But this is a little too far to be honest, and I knew very well that it was far from the dream Justina said.

“You just said that. They say that when you get older and become an adult, your dreams disappear. It is said that dreams could only be dreamed as a child… I must have lost my dreams because I am already an adult.”

“Huh, that’s absurd. She’s a lot younger than the original girl, so she’s talking about how old she is.”

“So, from my point of view, you are a kid?”

“Ugh! Are you saying you really have no dreams? What a boring, pitiful man! The mother-in-law was disappointed! Joy!”

Leaving aside the contemplation of the idle dragon that speaks out loud, I thought more about the dream that Justina pursues.

I had a dream I had when I was a little younger than I am now.

“Okay, okay. If it’s a dream… Raising disciples?”

“Oh, disciple?”

Justina pricked up her ears and listened to what I had to say, as if only then did she become interested.

However, raising disciples was not enough for her to call it a dream.

Since I was already teaching elfin, it was as if I had already achieved it, and it seemed a bit too small to call it a dream.

So I decided to talk about a dream that has grown several times in size.

“I want to build a school.”

“School? A place where children go to learn this or that?”

“Yes. I don’t know what the kids will learn there. I wish I could learn the world, not just knowledge. Anyway, I want to set up a school somewhere in the countryside and teach students.”

“Whoa, school, yes… It’s school….”

I asked with a grin.

“How was it, was it a satisfactory answer?”

“Well, in my own way… ….”

Justina nodded her head, then suddenly realized something, widened her eyes and snorted loudly.

“Hey! School, how trivial are human dreams! This is a level that is hard to even enter the list of her dreams that the original girl made for reference!”

“Yes, yes. Then I’ll go find Leewin now.”

“Huhuhuhu, you can finally use honorific words!”

Again, leaving the crappy dragon with his hand on his waist full of confidence, I set off to find Liwin in the corner of the room.

‘I wonder if he’s still at home.’

Liwin was the youngest among the three, but compared to Elfin and Justina, she was a gentle sheep and the easiest to handle.

At first glance, it seemed that he was talented in magic as well as combat, but he was too young to learn both in earnest.

‘It’s also the most ordinary.’

A cursed child, Elfin, who was kicked out of the Elf race.

On the other hand, Justina, the dragon, who came out to play in the world to find her dream.

Compared to the two, the half-blooded demon, Li Yun, would not be normal by any means, but he even seemed subtly ordinary.

However, after a few months with Liwin.

I realized that Li Yun was no ordinary child at all.
