Nanomachine Emperor

“Huh!”

He had a seizure and straightened his upper body.

Cold sweat pouring out like crazy.

It feels like having a terrible nightmare.

“Rah, Reinhard-sama. Are you okay?”

A man hurriedly opens the door and walks in.

It was a familiar face.

A small old man who must have passed his sixties now.

“… Germin?”

“Yes. majesty. Germin is here. Are you in a lot of pain today?”

You say you are in a lot of pain today.

say you’re okay

It’s been a while. that someone cares about me

Since I was crowned emperor, no one has asked me if I’m ‘ok’.

Even if I’ve heard the words “save me” or “curse” to the point of getting tired of it.

But, why is Germin in front of me?

―It’s okay, Your Highness. I know very well that Your Highness’ nature is kinder than anyone else. So please don’t beat yourself up.

Germin is dead.

Even if I’ve heard the words “save me” or “curse” to the point of getting tired of it.

killed by my own hand

When he came to his senses, he was already dying.

I’ve never forgotten what happened at that time, even for a moment.

‘If the hell that comes after death is here, it wouldn’t be bad.’

The only person who believed in me and worried about me.

My side who only worried about me until the moment I died.

I’m terribly sorry, and it was nice to see you.

“Looking at your face, it seems that you have energy that you didn’t have before.”

“Yes······?”

strange face. It seems like I saw it even if I couldn’t see it.

But it really cheered me up.

I don’t know why, but my head didn’t hurt either.

Oh, is it natural that you don’t get sick because you’re dead?

“I’m sorry. Because I don’t have enough luggage.”

“Oh, no. But are you really okay?”

“You’re so fine that it’s okay for you to curse at Jim.”

“My, how can I treat Your Highness…!”

No fuss.

But it’s not just words.

My mind was perfectly normal now.

No headaches, no bugs in my head.

A refreshing feeling that I feel for the first time in my life.

If this was the case, I would have died right away.

“Try it. There may not be one or two curses you want to say to Jim.”

“I’ve never had such a disrespectful thought!”

“Oh hey, it’s okay. If not now, when else will you do it?”

“… you’re a bit different from usual today.”

normally?

Hagiya, it was 20 years ago when Germin took care of me.

At that time, I was just an immature prince who was dissatisfied with everything.

Rather, he lived more than he did when he was emperor.

After becoming emperor, he only fought wars with neighboring countries like crazy.

A ray of light flashed in Germin’s eyes.

“good. Would you mind putting it off?”

“then.”

“You never say anything else?”

“Of course.”

Sup. Germin took a deep breath.

Jeremin said to me who was looking at me half expecting and half worrying about how great he would curse.

“… The Lady of Versailles is coming. Get ready and go down.”

“Versailles?”

“Oops, you forgot.”

“no······.”

did not forget

The memory of having a luncheon with the daughter of the countess of Versailles.

It’s clear that it was a terrible childhood experience, but it was more than 20 years ago.

‘It’s not hell, but reality?’

If it were real, it would mean that I had returned to the past.

A return to the past. It was something out of a novel.

The emperor of the world would not believe such absurd things.

However, this insanely vivid sense of reality suggested that this was neither a dream nor a hell.

‘You said you returned to the past after being killed by Malfiel?’

I don’t know how this is possible.

tugged at the cheek

sick.

It was absurd.

If it really came back to 20 years ago…

Now, before I became emperor, it must have been the time when I was a crazed crown prince.

It was the time when everything was worst.

[Brain activity 6.3%]

[Start biometric scan…]

[Dissolving wastes and resynthesizing them into proteins…]

A voice in my head at that moment.

“Who are you?”

“Yes?”

It seemed that Germin couldn’t hear it.

Maybe he’s about to go mad again.

[‘Nano Machine Zero’.]

Contrary to my worries, however, the answer came.

‘Nano Machine Zero?’

Unheard of names.

At least there was no one with that name in the empire.

“Are you a wizard? Where are you talking to?”

[I’m between the master’s frontal and temporal lobes.]

Between the frontal and temporal lobes?

I can’t figure out what you mean.

What is certain is that it is heard in your head.

It feels a lot closer than magical.

Maybe it was the worm that was churning in my head.

“······ majesty.”

At the same time, Germin looks worried.

after. Those eyes still hurt my heart.

He quickly shook his head and said.

“Um, don’t worry. He must have been hallucinating because he was asleep.”

“Shall we postpone our appointment?”

“no. Rather… how much time is left until luncheon?”

“Two hours until luncheon.”

“Then let’s get ready in 30 minutes. Until then, I want to be alone.”

30 minutes is enough.

After reading my serious expression, Germin nodded.

“All right. I’ll send the ladies-in-waiting in 30 minutes. If you have any problems.”

“yes. If there seems to be a problem, I will tell you right away.”

Germin took a heavy step.

After closing the door and confirming that he was leaving, my expression calmed down infinitely.

“… is it you that’s in my head?”

Ask in a chilly tone.

[That’s right.]

The guy answered.

crazy.

I got goosebumps.

The entity that had been harassing me for decades suddenly spoke to me.

“Why did you just show up now?”

It didn’t even appear when I was crying out for it to stop, but it appeared at the unexpected moment when I returned to the past.

If you don’t resent it, it will be a lie.

Even if I try to speak as calmly as possible, I keep going astray.

I couldn’t contain my excitement.

Because it was the moment when my madness, the worms in my head, were revealed to be real, not lies or delusions.

[This is because charging has been completed with strong electrical stimulation.]

powerful electricity. What comes to mind is Malfiel’s last attack.

It is said that it was charged because it shot out arrows of lightning with the appearance of a thunder god.

[However, it was left discharged for a long time, and the master’s nerve fiber bundles were weighed down. But don’t worry. ‘Nano Machine Zero’ regenerated the master’s nerve cells more robustly than before!]

I talk proudly, but from one to ten, there were only words that were questionable to me.

However, the intent was understandable.

“What happens if you press down on that bundle of nerve fibers?”

[The temporal lobe and frontal lobe are damaged and become sensitive to stimuli, and problems with cognitive function and memory function may occur.]

“So, do you mean I could kill someone or misjudge someone without intending to? Regardless of my nature?”

[Yes. They are unable to make rational judgments and sometimes show symptoms of schizophrenia. For more details, see the related paper on ‘Nerves and Changes in the Brain’.]

“ah······.”

I was speechless.

This situation itself was my delusion and could have been self-justification.

But what if that’s not the case?

What if the bugs in your head influenced you to make a bad decision?

It is possible that my madness and madness did not entirely come from me.

In an instant, my vision blurred.

wanted to kill

I don’t know how many times I’ve imagined cutting my hair off and killing bugs.

By the way, it is.

When I heard the words of the bug, my heart was filled with feelings that I had never felt before.

-You are the devil. You should have killed him when he was born!

―Cursed Prince!

―I’d rather not be born!

It is still vivid, as if hearing countless resentments right next to it.

After being consumed by madness, all I could remember were those words of resentment.

Sometimes when I come to my senses, I can’t do anything but look at what I’ve done and regret it.

So, he swallowed his saliva and asked.

“You mean you don’t have to go mad again?”

[Yes! I, ‘Nano Machine Zero’, will wholeheartedly support you for the rest of my life, both mentally and physically, so that Master can be healthy.]

“You mean Jim can live again?”

Even if I returned to the past, what qualification do I have?

Can I, the tyrant who killed tens or millions of people, live again as if nothing happened?

As much as my worries are futile.

[Yes!]

The answer from the nanomachines was very clear.
