"Speed Dasher"

We're really shorthanded right now. I've got to head to the kitchen and lend a hand too.

Talk about him

The cooks under you are truly skilled. I snuck a peek for a while and picked up quite a few tricks.

I've got an even better idea. What if I ask Lady Si to paint me two more arms?

Then, with four hands and four knives, I could chop veggies in circles.

Me? What's there to talk about with me?

Ah, you want to know where I come from? The answer's not all that interesting.

I'm a dead person.

That might not be entirely accurate. I'm a dead person from over a hundred years ago.

That year, Lady Si snuck off to the north and came across my grave.

My former self must have been an odd one. He stuffed a hard drive into the tombstone, recording everything from birth to death.

Haha, it's filled with all my cowardly moments. Even records of almost deserting near the end of the Aggeloi War.

Out of over a hundred thousand words, the last ten thousand were the most heartfelt, written with the hope that future technology might advance enough to bring me back.

Maybe it amused Lady Si enough. With a sweep of her brush, she brought me to life.

Dear patron, unless it happens to you, who could ever imagine such a thing?

In short, Lady Si's grace in giving me a new life is beyond repayment. I'll have to put in even more effort. Just wait and see.
