52 Dream or Reality (1/2)
In the year 315 after the Great War, near the Beastmen frontier.
”It looks like we departed from the Lorren clan yesterday... ” Murmured Rainer as he looked at the starry sky.
Due to light pollution, it was almost impossible to see such a beautiful night sky on Earth.
After Rainer began his journey to the Demon Country, this was a view he enjoyed contemplating every day. Others, like Liann, ignored this gift they still had.
”Alisha, do you think there are other worlds out there?” Asked Rainer, although he already knew the answer.
”Mmmm...I'm not sure, but it would be incredible!” She whispered.
”Be silent and sleep, it will be a long day tomorrow.” Said Liann before turning her back on both of them and closing her eyes.
Exhausted from all his daily training, Rainer quickly immersed himself in the dream world, or so he thought...
...
When Rainer opened his eyes, he was again in front of the Divine Palace gates!
”It's been a long time since I've been here...” Said Rainer as he entered into the palace.
”Welcome back, Master.”Said Celine with her soft and melodic voice.
”...Oh yes, it's a pleasure to be back.” Said Rainer after recovering his senses.
After arriving at the main hall, Rainer saw Jehako in the same table and position as the last time he came.
”Don't you get bored not doing anything for so long?” Asked Rainer to Jehako.
”After a thousand years of loneliness, I finally have someone to talk to, and Celine loves my stories.” Replied Jehako while drinking what appeared to be tea.
”...!”
Rainer sat down in a nearby chair and imagined a soda, after tasting it, he was surprised at the familiar taste that ran down his throat!
”You can think of this place as a dream world, if you have seen or tasted it, everything will be faithful to your memories.” Said Celine after seeing Rainer's surprised expression.
”I don't even know how I continue being surprised by these things... ”Rainer thought while taking another sip.
”Well, why did you come here, Rainer?” Asked Jehako.
”I remind you I lost my capacity to enter voluntarily, now it depends on luck.” He replied.
”Does it have a pattern?
”Now that you say it...
Whenever the system was updated, Rainer was able to enter into the Divine Palace after going to sleep.
”There is no connection...” Responded Rainer, the system was something that he didn't even know at 100%, the best way was to keep it secret.
”If you say so...how about telling us about your journey? ”Jehako knew there were things you shouldn't ask and Rainer was his savior, it was better not to press matters.
”Of course!” A smile came back to Rainer as he recounted the adventures and new companions they had made throughout the half-year journey.
...
”Wow, you had it easy, at your age I was killing giants while I was thinking how long we would be able to resist against them...”
Before Jehako could finish his sarcasm, he flew out against the wall and could not move!
”Even if you are a special guest to my Master, I will not remain silent listening to your mockery, remember that you are only here thanks to his kindness!”Celine looked like a lioness defending her puppies, nobody would think that such an elegant and graceful lady could pull such sharp claws!
”...”
”I'm just surrounded by madwomen... ”Rainer thought as he urged Celine to get Jehako off the wall.
