629 Don’t want to be by myself (2/2)

'Was it because she looked so real?

'No… rather than looking real, she looks far more ethereal.

'She possesses flawless beauty and a mystical aura… No matter how I look at it, such a girl being alone in such a dangerous alternate dimension seems far too unreal.

'Then what exactly was I thinking?' Hoshi was confused.

Even now, he still felt that this girl indeed concretely existed in front of him.

He couldn't touch her, and she was clearly ethereal. Yet, he still felt that this girl was a real existence.

His feelings contradicted his sense of logic and reason, which confused him.

A large boss monster was about to appear. He needed to run away soon.

But…

Hoshi didn't give up and tried to reach out to the girl again. Yet, once again, his hand passed right through hers.

She was right before him, yet also didn't exist.

In that case, he wouldn't need to worry about her at all. He only needed to escape by himself.

Yet, Hoshi found it impossible to move from this spot.

He didn't want to abandon her. He didn't want to separate from her.

This was despite the fact that he didn't know what she was at all!

'What's going on with my own emotions? Have I been allured by a demon?

'Or, is it because I simply don't want to be by myself?'

Hoshi suddenly came to this realization.

He was actually afraid for himself, not her. He was afraid that if he separated from this girl, he would then be completely by himself in this unfamiliar place.

Spiritual monsters kept popping up everywhere. None of his companions were anywhere to be seen. And, he had no clue where to go to find them.

Perhaps in the very next instant, a massive number of small monsters would surround him, or a powerful boss monster would block his way, and he would die here!

He wanted companions. He didn't want to be by himself. Even if his only companion was an otherworlder…

At this moment, dense mist appeared again and speedily formed into a gigantic black wolf boss monster!

”I'm begging you, please come together with me…” Hoshi pleaded from the bottom of his heart as he reached out his hand.

He knew that there wouldn't be any response.

Still, he was unable to give up on this tiny bit of hope.

The giant wolf monster finished forming and immediately charged at Hoshi!

Hoshi's logic was warning him: run! RUN!!

Would he run away or stay behind in the next instant?

Hoshi didn't know.

He no longer needed to make such a decision.

The golden-haired girl who hadn't reacted a single bit up until now suddenly turned to face the charging black wolf boss, lifted her right hand, and flicked her finger lightly.

*Smack!!*

As if an invisible super hammer suddenly crashed down, something viciously crushed the giant wolf's head and flattened it into the ground! The wolf boss monster's entire back half was distorted from the impact.

Hoshi was startled by the tremendous sound. He couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise at this scene.

The next moment, the giant wolf turned into nothing but mist.

This boss monster that would have been incredibly difficult for him to deal with was defeated with a single flick of the girl's fingers!

'Amazing…'

While Hoshi was still being astonished, the girl put down her hand and stepped forward.

A black crack suddenly magically appeared in the ground before Hoshi. This black crack then opened up into a black oval shape with a red pentagram spinning around inside it.

'Is that the portal to enter and exit Kazuko-san's Domain!?'

Hoshi widened his eyes even further. This spell array was quite similar to Kazuko-san's portal. However, the red symbol in the middle of the black oval was different.

The girl walked over to this spell array, turned around to glance at Hoshi, and then disappeared in a red flash of light.

'Is this… does she want me to follow her?'

Hoshi hesitated for a moment as he looked at this dimensional portal leading to the unknown.
