(MC POV)
I raised my eyebrow at Tsuki who was smiling proudly at .
??
She ca up to in the morning while all of us were gathered at the breakfast table, showing a bottle of a weird looking liquid with that proud smirk on her face and telling she succeeded in creating the Origin Liquid for my potion last night.
"You managed to do it?"
Tsuki nodded her head smugly, "I took so ti to inspect it and I made it right afterwards!"
That's… Really impressive. Like really, really impressive.
There's Brendan who figured out what Origin was after spending half a day looking at it. Then Tsuki going to figure out how to make it in less ti than that.
Seriously, everyone here is so talented I'm beginning to feel a little inadequate.
I turned to Brendan and pointed to the potion Tsuki was holding out to , "So… This was made using the Origin that Tsuki created?"
"That is correct, Master."
"So this specific bottle… It's brewed for my use?"
"Yes, Master."
"Hmm… In that case…"
I threw my head back and dumped the contents of the vial into my mouth without hesitation.
Brendan pursed his lips, "Ummm… Is Master not going to check the potion first?"
I raised an eyebrow at him, "Was there any reason for to? "
He poked his fingers together, "Umm… I'm not really confident that it might be up to Master's standards."
"Well, you've already made this multiple tis for the others right? So there shouldn't be a problem."
"But Master is different from them… I'm not sure mine was completely suitable for Master."
I grinned, "Oh, I trust you Brendan, after all you did learn from , did you not?"
He smiled ekly at and nodded.
I leaned back on my chair, "Now all we need to do is wait for the potion to take effect and I'll--"
My vision swam and I found myself falling into unconsciousness, my ears barely registering the startled cries of my disciples before the darkness embraced .
Ok… That was a little awkward.
The next thing I knew, I found myself standing in front of a very familiar dragon.
I instinctively tried to protect myself with a shield, only for nothing to happen right before the dragon's sneeze enveloped and wiped from existence.
Well, how nice for the mory to start at the end of my other life with that Divine Primordial Dragon...
The scene quickly switched to sitting in the middle of an inscription circle with lightning striking down all around . There was also imnse pain coursing through my body and I was doing my best not to scream out loud.
I rember this event all too well. It was the prelude to all my suffering where I ascended to the Spiritual Plane and crippled myself.
I looked up just in ti to see a lightning bolt flash towards and my vision went white again.
The next thing I saw was the younger version of Elaria standing in front of , her eyes wide in wonder as she held my hand.
This must be the ti where I was showing her my mories.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the door to the room flung open and two people I recognised as my adoptive father and adoptive grandfather ca storming in.
My adoptive father took one look at the situation and tackled to the ground, the next thing I knew my vision had gone white.
Now I was a little confused about why I'm seeing events that I knew had happened before. From what I got from Brendan's test subject's mories, I should be seeing my mories replay back from where it began, not whatever that's going on here.
Hmm… Why am I still stuck in this darkness? Going by the pattern from earlier, it should have shown a different scene by now.
"A… Aniue?" An unexpected voice ca from my right.
I turned to see Tsuki floating towards , clearly surprised to see .
"Tsuki? What are you doing in my mory?"
"Eh? This is Aniue's mories? Why is it so dark?"
I shrugged, "That's what I was wondering too. I only saw a few scenes of the past but they were mories that I mostly know about already so there's nothing new. Why are you here?"
"Ah! After Aniue fainted suddenly, I had tried to catch Aniue before you fell but the mont my hand touched Aniue… I blacked out too. The next thing I knew I saw Aniue floating here."
"Hmmm… That's weird. Was there sothing wrong with the potion after all?"
"Ungg… Or maybe the liquid Origin I made wasn't good enough?"
I didn't get the chance to answer her since the scene changed again and now both Tsuki and I were standing in a relatively plain room.
The only thing noticeable was the crib in the centre of the room.
A mont passed and a younger version of ca in through the door, wearing clothes that were definitely not of this world's design.
Ok, this is new.
This should be the from Tsuki's world so these are definitely new mories to .
The fact that I'm looking at myself in third person instead of first person is also interesting since the other mories had shown viewing through my own eyes all this while.
After the younger , a man and a woman also ca in after but their faces were blurred for so reason.
"From today onwards, you are a big brother now, son. Be sure to treat your little sister well," The man told while patting my head.
The younger did not respond but rely peered into the crib, smiling down at who I assud to be baby Tsuki giggling up at .
"Ah! My first eting with Aniue! I rember this!" Tsuki yelled out enthusiastically.
I narrowed my eyes at her, "You were a baby… How did you rember this?"
Her face paled, "Umm… I… I'm sorry Aniue… I had tested one of the mory potions on myself first before making it for Aniue…"
I sighed, "When this is over, I'll scold you a lot so be prepared."
"Yes, Aniue…"
The scene in front of us changed again and this ti I was carrying Tsuki in my arms in what I assu to be a living room, except the said living room looked to have seen better days with the half-broken furniture and peeling wallpapers.
In front of the younger were several pieces of paper thrown haphazardly on the table.
I was still wondering why these mories weren't showing the entire thing but only specific scenes. It's like my mind was picking and choosing the most relevant scenes to show to for so reason.
Tsuki and I went towards the table, peeking over the younger 's shoulders to read the papers.
They were all notices about an exorbitant amount of debt soone owed, an amount no child could reasonably expect to earn in a short amount of ti.
One piece of paper stood out from the rest, being a hastily scribbled-on note that was a farewell letter from the man and woman to the younger .
It read, "Son, it's ti for you to be a man and take care of your family. Mommy and daddy owed so nice people money and we're going away so the nice people will take care of you. Be a good boy and listen to them. Bye bye."
Without even looking at her, I could already feel Tsuki's rage burning up.
The younger stroked baby Tsuki's cheek with a soft smile on his face, "Don't worry, Tsuki. Your big brother will take care of you. We don't need those two leeches, just the two of us is enough. I will never give up on you, I promise."
Right at that mont, the door opened and several an looking n ca in with wicked frowns on their faces.
I expected more to happen but the scene faded to black again.
I already don't like where this is going…
