Byakuyo's Idea[]
We started climbing the mountain, aiming to reach the shrine where the cult of Magna was congregated.
- Byakuyo
- "I can see it, that shrine!"
At that moment...-.
- MC
- "!"
When we had taken a step into the place, darkness appeared.
- Navi
- "The Dream Eaters have appeared!"
- Luke
- "Can't they just simply let us go in......!"
- Medi
- "It's ridiculous how we make just a tiny little move and they come to attack us"
- Luke
- "I know right......"
- Hinata
- "I'm tired, too~"
- Avi
- "...... Be quiet. I hear something"
We cocked our ears, and heard a choir-like singing.
- Navi
- "It looks like the cult of Magna is really in this temple"
- Avi
- "Yup"
The eerie choir-like singing we were listening to was at a jarring contrast with the mountain range surrounded by beautiful scenery.
- MC
- "It's kind of like a church or something......"
- Byakuyo
- "They did this to make it possible to worship here. Dunno why they're worshipping at a place of study, though"
- Hinata
- "Hey~ Let's go in already"
- Luke
- "Not yet, it's too dangerous"
- Medi
- "The kid will stick next to me"
- Hinata
- "Being next to Medi would be even more dangerous"
- Luke
- "Hm, true"
- Medi
- "Luke, when did you start hating me so much......"
- Avi
- "Hey, everyone shut up!"
- Byakuyo
- "At the moment, nobody is out hear......"
- Avi
- "Let's just watch and see for now"
- MC
- "Yeah"
Staying carefully hidden, we watched and waited.
...
......
- MC
- "They haven't made any movements......"
- Hinata
- "They've just been singing this whole time. Are these people really the ones doing research on Dream Eaters~?"
- MC
- "......"
While we were waiting around, my chest felt crushed as I thought of Emil again.
- Avi
- "......"
At that moment, Navi's ears perked up.
- Navi
- "...... Everyone, they're coming again!"
- Medi
- "It can't be helped! We're basically living personifications of hope!"
- Avi
- "Don't look so gratified! Let's go!!"
- Hinata
- "They're still coming~!"
Even after defeating some, different Dream Eaters would immediately appear and assault us.
- Avi
- "Damn...... Why are there so many"
- MC
- "......!"
After we had somewhat repelled the Dream Eaters......
- Luke
- "They were tough, as usual"
- Avi
- "Yup. MC, are you alright?"
- MC
- "Yeah!"
Once we had finished fighting, the same words came back into my head...-.
- Kasa
- "You all can't even save a single child"
- Navi
- "Everything will turn out alright"
- MC
- "Huh?"
- Avi
- "Your face shows exactly what you're thinking"
Avi gently pinched my cheek.
- Luke
- "Let's believe that kid is alright"
- Medi
- "A beautiful person shouldn't be making such a face"
- Hinata
- "MC-chan......"
(Yeah, everything will be alright. I'll believe he's alright)
- MC
- "Thanks everyone!"
At that moment......
- Navi
- "A group of the cult of Magna is coming out!"
A huge swarm of people appeared from inside the building, faced the temple, and began to worship.
- Hinata
- "Byakuyo's papa and mama are there, too!"
- Byakuyo
- "Father, mother......"
Byakuyo's father and mother's eyes had no light in them, and a deep darkness dwelled within them.
- Byakuyo
- "......"
- Avi
- "Strategically, we have the upper hand. We should go in right now and get them out of there"
- Medi
- "That is such a wretched way to put it"
- Avi
- "I ain't wrong, though"
- Medi
- "True...... But put it in a more beautiful way"
- Byakuyo
- "Hey"
- Avi
- "What's wrong?"
- Byakuyo
- "Sorry for being selfish...... But let's just go back"
- Luke
- "Byakuyo?"
- Medi
- "We can totally save them right now, though?"
- Hinata
- "Yeah! We gotta take your papa and mama back!"
- Byakuyo
- "When I saw those darkened eyes, this is what I thought"
- Byakuyo
- "Even if I restore my father and mother back to this ruined country, I'm sure the same thing will continue to happen"
- MC
- "That's......"
- Byakuyo
- "My father is a military man known for his dauntless courage. For that to turn out this way is......"
- Byakuyo
- "If we don't do something about the root of this problem, this country will be in great danger"
- Byakuyo
- "I must restore this country to its former beauty, and make it so my father and mother can truly awaken"
- Byakuyo
- "Thanks for taking me all this way"
- Byakuyo
- (Byakuyo......)
- Avi
- "......Alright, let's go back to the castle this time!"
- Luke
- "Yeah. If we save this country from the Dream Eaters, Byakuyo's parents will definitely wake up"
- Medi
- "I better bestow some of my beauty upon this country!"
- Hinata
- "Alright then, let's head back to the castle~♪"
- Avi
- "MC...... Let's go"
- MC
- "Yeah......"
Avi's gently squeezed my hand.
That warmth unconsciously made my eyes moisten.
(Please, let Emil be safe)
- Navi
- "Alright then, let us return to Prince Byakuyo's castle"
And so we left that place behind......
