‘A second chance.’

The moment I heard it, I was seized by a sense of déjà vu.

And I tried applying the current situation Albert was in to a regression story.

Stories of protagonists who lived unhappy lives and went back to the past to change everything always provided catharsis.

I tried hard to plant good memories in young Albert during my ordeal, but I couldn’t change his entire life.

He still suffered, had to be dragged to Count Evnen’s banquet, and eventually parted with Emmett in somewhat awkward terms.

A person’s childhood has a great influence on their selfhood.

I thought his childhood was one of the reasons why he was particularly clingy to me now.

Because I was the only light in his life.

I don’t dislike that fact. It’s rather surprising and incredible to think that I can be someone’s everything.

However, I do not want Albert to spend every moment in anxiety.

Being with me might heal his temperament, but that’s only a possibility, not a certainty.

If he could take all the memories with him, Albert’s life could change drastically.

Reliving the past would be a unique opportunity to heal Albert’s wounds.

If he could take the memories of the time spent with me, he could heal the moments that had traumatized him and move towards a happier life.

After meeting Emmett, he could maintain a good relationship and have deeper conversations.

Although we talked after meeting in childhood, it’s undeniable that there was still awkwardness between Emmett and me.

But now, having seen Emmett’s end and guessing that he was a transcendent, we could have deeper conversations and understand each other better.

Albert, with memories, would quickly awaken his abilities and become a great mage.

He might even be able to dispel the trauma that arose while living among his manipulative family.

And he would no longer be oppressed at Count Evnen’s banquet.

Because he was the male lead, he no longer has to be unhappy, and all the hardships of every moment will no longer torment him.

Of course, this would only be possible if Albert remembered everything. It’s something an ordinary person couldn’t even imagine.

But who is Albert? He is the strongest munchkin male lead in this world.

And I am a dragon contractor with comparable magical power.

We cannot go against the flow of time.

Still, we can cast magic that preserves memories from before the flow of time changes.

A spell that allows us to remember the time we spent together, even if we end up living completely apart in different dimensions and times.

We can draw upon all our remaining power to use the spell of ‘Remember’, which allows us to retain memories of everything that has happened.

For Albert, these memories will be the driving force that enables him to live a new life and come to find me,

For Blanc, it will be a pillar of support while waiting for 500 years,

For Alexander, it gives a chance to escape from Count Evnen’s clutches and live a new life,

And for me, it will be the strength to remember and wait for Albert.

The answer is decided.

After regressing, Albert will live a happy life and find Blanc.

Albert made it clear that the ordeal would not be painful for Blanc at all.

It seems he was planning to grow his power tremendously until then. And once Blanc would become a full-fledged dragon, he and Albert were intent on coming to meet me.

Right before the bus accident would happen to me.

Alexander was needed in this plan to help Albert remember the dimension I lived in.

Unless he enters another contract with Alexander, he would not be able to travel across dimensions.

And a dragon contractor wouldn’t be able to travel to a dimension that he did not know. That’s the reason Albert had to enter a contract with Alexander.

Of course, Alexander didn’t neglect his own interests.

Through me, he could accompany me to another dimension, learn a bit about it, and later, as a full-fledged dragon, be able to easily recall a dimension he could traverse.

But no one denied that Alexander made a big decision for us.

Albert was very reluctant about this plan. He initially didn’t see why he had to repeat all those years.

He did not admit that he was hurt by his past.

In the end, there was one way that made him willingly submit.

“I want to see your childhood.”

Using the ability of a dragon contractor who could travel through dimensions and time, Albert wanted to know how I had been living in this world for the remaining three days.

Not just before crossing dimensions, but all of it—from the childhood I spent with my family to the times I wandered.

“Isn’t it a bit unfair that only you have traversed to my past?”

Even though he couldn’t help me when I was young, he wanted to know everything about me.

All about the life of the person I was.

Since I was in Rosé’s body, I rarely talked about my family or my life, and it seems that bothered Albert.

I knew everything about him, but he didn’t.

Eventually, I accepted Albert’s words.

And so, we have come to the time when I was a primary school student living with my family.
