The shuttle in the second dimension

　It was Ram who opened the door, but there was another person after Ram.

　"Ah~~~~Isn't this a guest~~~" The person behind Ram was none other than Count Roswaal, the owner of this mansion.

　"Hello, Count Roswaal." Lin Xuan greeted with a smile, slightly raising the corner of his mouth.

　"Don't be so formal~~~~~ Just call me by my name~~~~" Roswaal said in a devilish voice, looking Lin Xuan up and down.

　"Did you just finish your workout?"

　"Well, I just practiced with the knife for a while and worked up a bit of sweat, so I planned to clean it up."

　"Then I won't delay your bath~~~Goodbye~~~"

　"Goodbye."

　Looking at Roswaal's gradually receding figure, Lin Xuan withdrew his gaze and walked into the bathroom.

　Walking into the bathtub, feeling the comfort brought by the bath, Lin Xuan couldn't help but moan.

　After soaking for about ten minutes, Lin Xuan stepped out of the tub. As he dried himself, he glanced at the two scars on his chest. They weren't large, and they intersected. However, the most important thing was their location. Placing his palm against the scars, Lin Xuan could clearly feel his heart beating. Lowering his hand, he reached down to his back and felt two more scars that matched the two previous ones.

　"It's still a penetrating wound. The heart has been pierced twice, but he's not dead yet. Does he have the same resurrection ability as the Hunter of the Intestines?" he muttered to himself.

　"Forget it. I can't really try to see if I can be resurrected after I die. If I don't have the ability, I'll really die." With a sigh, Lin Xuan shook the thought off.

　After putting on his clothes, Lin Xuan returned to his room. Just as he was about to open the door, he saw Rem walking towards him with paper and pen.

　"Excuse me, is it convenient now?"

　"Can you read? That's very convenient nowadays."

　Just like that, Rem followed Lin Xuan into the room.

　Originally, Lin Xuan thought that it would be difficult to learn a new language, but after actually learning it, Lin Xuan found that he learned much faster than expected. Even Rem was surprised at Lin Xuan's learning speed.

　Through this teaching and learning process, the relationship between Lin Xuan and Rem also became closer.

　While writing the words of this world stroke by stroke, Lin Xuan asked Rem beside him, "Um... Rem, I have a question, I don't know if I should ask it?"

　"What's the problem, guest?"

　"I've heard from Emilia that Roswaal is a powerful magician, so there's no need to worry about his safety. But this is a count's mansion after all. How come there aren't even any guards? Wouldn't it be terrible if a thief sneaked in and stole something?"

　"In the mansion, only Rem and my sister are enough."

　"...that..." After a moment's silence, Lin Xuan's eyes widened slightly. "Does that mean you and Ram are also responsible for the guard work?"

　Rem did not answer Lin Xuan's question, but just nodded.

　"Roswaal is really something. He actually lets two beautiful maids work part-time as bodyguards." Lin Xuan muttered in a low voice.

　"Guest, please don't speak ill of Lord Roswaal." Rem said seriously.

　"Ah, sorry sorry."

　Because Lin Xuan didn't say anything inappropriate about his status, Rem just reminded him and then said nothing more.

　"Hey, Rem, you don't have to call me guest. I'd feel embarrassed that way. I'm just a freeloader, so just call me by my name." Lin Xuan expressed his thoughts while writing carefully according to the method Rem taught him.

　After silently looking at Lin Xuan for a while, Rem said, "You are Lady Emilia's benefactor. You helped Lady Emilia, so it is only right to treat you as a guest. You don't need to feel embarrassed."

　"My debt to Emilia can be considered even." After saying this, Lin Xuan stopped writing and scratched the back of his head a little embarrassedly. "Originally, I was planning to ask Roswaal to give me a job like Subaru did, so that I could at least live in peace of mind. But I have to regain my memory eventually. If I work for a while and then suddenly go back to look for my memory, it won't look good. So I chose to stay temporarily... But I feel bad about eating and living here for free, so please don't call me guest. And if you need any help, just call me. At least I can live in peace of mind this way."

　"Rem understands. If there is any need in the future, I will treat you... Thank you for your help, Lin Xuan." After hesitating for a while, Rem finally agreed to Lin Xuan's request.

　"Hehe." With a somewhat silly smile, Lin Xuan continued to study.

　Looking at Lin Xuan's silly yet comfortable smile (actually just a silly smile), Rem muttered in a voice that only she could hear clearly, "What a strange person."

　-

　As the night drew to a close, Lin Xuan did not fall asleep, just like the night before his death cycle. Instead, he sat cross-legged on the bed. The only difference was that last time he placed the sheathed knife across his legs, but this time he was holding the unsheathed knife with the palms of his hands.

　After witnessing the dark power emanating from the sword during the death cycle, Lin Xuan had been wondering if he could harness that power while practicing today. Of course, Lin Xuan didn't expect to be able to control it all at once, but he wanted to see if he could communicate with it first, and then slowly master it.

　Because he didn't know how to communicate with the knife, Lin Xuan could only support the knife with his palm, then close his eyes and try his best to find the connection between his heart and the knife. He didn't know how long he sat in meditation. Just when Lin Xuan was about to give up, a faint knife sound suddenly rang in his heart.

　After the knife rang, Lin Xuan could feel the connection between himself and the knife becoming clearer and clearer.

　Lin Xuan suddenly opened his eyes and saw that the dark blade was wrapped with a thin layer of dark power. The feeling that power gave him was exactly the same as the power that protected him that day.

　“It actually… succeeded!?”

Chapter 17 Asia Agendo

　After learning about the nature of the dark power from Roswaal after breakfast, Lin Xuan's original joy resurfaced. After dinner, Lin Xuan said hello to Rem and ran to a place some distance away from the mansion to begin testing the power.

　The reason why Lin Xuan did not run far away to test his abilities before dawn was mainly because he was worried that his actions would arouse suspicion from Rem and the others. Now that he had a legitimate reason, he could naturally go far away to test his new power with confidence.

　Standing before a large tree, Lin Xuan channeled the black blade in his hand, and immediately, a dark force began to surge forth. As if due to increasing frequency of communication, he was becoming more and more proficient, and Lin Xuan could clearly feel the speed at which the dark energy surged out.

　"If I practice diligently, maybe I can reach the point where power will immediately surge out as soon as I think about it." Lin Xuan thought to himself as he licked his dry lips.

　"Let's give it a try and see how powerful this force is in protecting me from the cycle of death." As he said this, Lin Xuan swung the black knife and chopped at the big tree in front of him.

　The resistance that Lin Xuan had imagined did not appear, as if he was not chopping on a tree, but in the air.

　Staring blankly at the tree, which was clearly missing a section, Lin Xuan blinked in a daze. But the next moment, the roar of a falling tree jolted him out of his trance. Looking at the tree falling towards him, Lin Xuan cried out in shock, not daring to stare blankly any longer. He rolled and scrambled to avoid the tree that was falling towards him.

　"This is too easy." Looking at the tree that fell beside him, Lin Xuan still couldn't accept the fact that he had cut it down so easily. After a few minutes, Lin Xuan slowly began to accept this fact. However, after accepting the fact, another idea came to his mind.

　"What if that power is not attached?" Muttering, Lin Xuan dissipated the dark power wrapped around the knife, and directly used the knife to chop at the big tree closest to him with the same force as before.

　The pitch-black blade easily cut through the bark, but due to insufficient force, it was far from being able to cut the tree horizontally.

　After pulling the knife out of the tree, Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows and said, "This power is far beyond my expectations. Moreover, this power still has a lot of room for development." As he spoke, the black knife in Lin Xuan's hand once again surged with the dark power.

　"Hmm?" Looking at the dark power that was entwined around his body, Lin Xuan frowned slightly. He didn't know if it was an illusion. Just now when he was communicating with the black knife to use the power, Lin Xuan felt a pain in his body, but the feeling was very weak, so weak that Lin Xuan was not sure whether it was his own illusion.

　"It must be an illusion. I'm not hurt." Muttering, Lin Xuan no longer paid attention to the "illusion".

　-

　After testing his new ability, Lin Xuan returned to the mansion with satisfaction. When he came back, he happened to meet Emilia who was talking to the micro-elf.

　"Micro-elf?"

　Looking at the light surrounding Emilia, Lin Xuan muttered softly.

　Initially, after understanding which world he was in and while helping Emilia find the badge, Lin Xuan entertained the idea of ​​becoming a magician or elven warlock. However, at that time, Lin Xuan intended to pursue this goal only after confirming whether he could retain his memories during the death cycle. However, during the death cycle, when Lin Xuan discovered the dark power and realized he could use it, he abandoned the idea. However, despite this decision, Lin Xuan still harbored an interest in magic.

　Lin Xuan stood aside and said nothing as he watched Emilia talking to the micro-elf. A few minutes later, Emilia finished her conversation with the micro-elf and then she noticed Lin Xuan standing aside.

　"Eh!? Are you done with your training?" Emilia said with a hint of surprise as she looked at Lin Xuan standing beside her.

　"It's not really training, I just went to test out that new power. The result is pretty good." Lin Xuan smiled with his lips raised.

　"That's great." Seeing Lin Xuan's happy look, Emilia was also happy.

　"By the way, Rem said that you were so excited about discovering your new power that you got up before dawn." When she said this, a smile appeared on Emilia's face.

　"Ahahaha~~~" Scratching the back of his head, Lin Xuan felt a little embarrassed. "I was a little too excited."

　"No matter how excited you are, you must make sure to rest well and don't overwork yourself." Emilia looked at Lin Xuan seriously and warned him.

　"understood."

　-

　After chatting with Emilia for a while, Lin Xuan and she left.

　After parting with Emilia, Lin Xuan had nothing to do for a while. Just when he was about to continue practicing with the sword, he saw Rem moving some ingredients.

　"Hey~ Rem." After greeting, Lin Xuan walked to Rem and took over the ingredients she had moved. "Let me help you."

　"Huh?" Originally, Rem was going to reject Lin Xuan's kindness, but suddenly she remembered what Lin Xuan said last night, and finally accepted Lin Xuan's kindness.

　Walking side by side, Rem glanced at the knife hanging on Lin Xuan's waist, and as if remembering something, he raised his lip slightly and said, "I thought you would train for a long time. After all, after getting the answer you wanted from Lord Roswaal, you were just as excited as this morning."

　"Hehe~~The excitement will always pass." Scratching the side of his face, Lin Xuan explained.

　"Are these prepared for lunch later?" Lin Xuan asked, lowering his head and looking at the ingredients he was carrying.

　"Not all of them. Some of them are needed for dinner."

　"Hey - Rem, can I help in the kitchen?" Lin Xuan suddenly asked Rem.

　"Eh!?" Rem blinked and looked at Lin Xuan in confusion, as if asking Lin Xuan why.

　Facing Rem's puzzled look, Lin Xuan explained, "On the one hand, I have nothing to do right now and want to help. On the other hand, I want to try and see if it will help me recall some memories in this regard."

　"Hmm~~~~" Rem did not immediately agree to Lin Xuan's request, but thought for a while.

　"I can help you, but if you're as clumsy as Subaru, I'll kick you out of the kitchen." Looking at Lin Xuan, Rem stated his conditions.

　"Ok."

Chapter 18

　"Why are you here!?" Subaru, who was peeling potatoes, exclaimed loudly when he saw Lin Xuan and Rem walking into the kitchen together.

　"Ah?" Looking at Subaru's shocked face, Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows.

　"Of course I'm here to help." Lin Xuan glanced at Subaru's fingers and reminded him.

　"I cut my hand."

　"What?" Subaru looked at Lin Xuan in confusion, as if he didn't understand what Lin Xuan's reminder meant. But the next moment, the pain from his fingers made the confusion on his face begin to twist.
