Chapter 156: A Mysterious Dream Within A Dream (1/2)
-----
After seeing Benladann's innocent and cute dream, I decided to leave her sleep for some time, as I tried to pull back my consciousness.
But then, I met a certain somebody, the called ”Miranda” who is supposedly the ego of the Mold itself.
I told it the truth about her existence, and that she was a fabrication of Benladann's Unique Skill and not the actual Mold brought to this world, but some sort of magic.
She took it seemingly well, but I believe she might have gotten more affected.
I decided to leave her after we ended discussing and the conversation was just getting pointless, I didn't want to damage her for the moment, and if she were to get me angrier, I might have done it in a heartbeat… But that's why I left.
However…
Instead of going back to the outside world, to my body…
I ended elsewhere.
And this place was definitely not Benladann's soul!
What is this place?!
I glanced around my surroundings, to find a place of darkness.
However, as I continued to glance around and walk through it, I found pink-colored mist and the presence of someone else…
Someone watching me through this pink mist.
”Another Dream Walker?” said the voice of a mysterious figure behind me…
What is this? Where am I? And who is this?
I quickly turn over to glance at the voice, but I don't find anything…
”Hm. I see… You're not ready yet? Or is it…? Ah… Fafnir, is it? Hmm… A Dragon…”
The voice continued to speak as it moved around the mist, I tried to catch up to it, but I could not.
I also couldn't identify the voice's gender or age because it sounded strange, as if distorted.
”I am amazed that your soul hasn't been consumed yet. Despite its low level of cultivation, it seems that there are several powers attached to it. You're an odd one, aren't you?”
”Who are you? How did you find me? What do you want?!” I roared, trying to look for the voice, as I dived into the sea of pink mist, but there was only that and darkness…
The voice answered as it began to laugh.
”Fufu, I am just a playful little fox… I can't believe that you have not realized where you've stepped into…” she said, her voice suddenly turned feminine, like that of a girl around her teens.
Playful little fox? I don't realize where I have stepped into?
Those are not really good clues, you know?!
”A girl… And what do you mean? Can't you answer any of my questions?” I asked.
”Hm, but it is no fun if I just give you all the answers to your questions, right, little dragon~?”
Flash!
Suddenly, within the pink mist, someone emerged…
It resembled a… little girl. Her eyes were bright purple, her hair long and pink, and she had two fluffy fox-like ears atop her head, alongside several fluffy fox-like tails behind her. She was wearing… something that resembled a kimono, clearly not of this world.
