118 – 25. Dream in a dream
Chuseok, the holiday is over.
People go back to their daily lives, and Romance Academy was no different.
Many students were returning to the academy with regret.
And.
Kwasik!
“Tell me something, saint.”
“……It’s hard on your hands.”
“Well, maybe she’s nicer than a bitch who acts like a horny bitch?”
A building in an obscure academy.
Liu, who was truly feverish, was glaring at Eileen.
With a dagger that could stab you at any moment, tightly held in your hand.
“What are you saying…?”
“Don’t talk nonsense. Do you think I wouldn’t know? Did you really think I would quietly leave you and Namgoong Min alone?”
“……………….”
“Surveillance, eavesdropping, tracking, voyeurism, artifacts. I’m always keeping an eye on Namgoong Min. I know when he wakes up, how he sleeps, and what he does and when.”
“……….”
“Of course I know what you did.”
She saved Namgoong Min’s life, and since she is a
Saint, she has been very considerate to her.
Once you do something like that, consideration is over.
Liu was smiling.
It’s as if it’s truly ridiculous, as if people actually laugh when they’re really upset.
Only Eileen still had an ambiguous expression.
“So you came to see me as soon as you arrived at the academy?”
“Yes.”
“Yes, so?”
“…What?”
“So what should I do?”
“……Ha, hahahaha.”
In an extremely sharp atmosphere.
Liu swung the dagger without hesitation.
.
“……!!”
Quang!
An artifact that blows away enemies aimed at a dagger.
With her ability, Eileen was instantly slammed into the wall and let out her breath.
“Whoa!?”
“This dagger is not a decoration?”
Quad!
Without any delay, it lunges at Eileen’s abdomen.
Although it is a ceremonial dagger with a blunt blade, if you stab it with intention, it can cause enough damage.
Even more so now that Liu’s physical abilities have been strengthened by the power of the artifacts shining throughout his body.
No matter how you look at it, Eileen faces Rio, who is genuinely trying to kill her.
General skill .
“Stop, let’s leave it.”
“……Sheesh.”
It spreads its white wings behind its back and creates a bright space.
It’s no different from the original room, but the air seems to be a little fresher and the wallpaper has been applied to softly shine.
General skill .
It was a skill I acquired together with .
It is not as good as , Which is a skill that actually represents adulthood, but it is a famous skill in its own way.
The ability is to create a safe zone.
No one can hurt one another within the sanctuary.
Hook.
“…What are you doing?”
“He’s not really dead. It’s annoying.”
Even though Liu rushes in with all his might and slit her throat, Eileen is not hurt.
Eileen, who was looking at Liu who clicked her tongue as if she was truly sorry, took one of her chairs and sat down.
“I think we need to talk.”
“I have nothing to say. If Disappears, that will be the end.”
“This is a story about Namgoong Min.”
“……………….”
Squeak.
Liu brought a chair and sat down with a sh*t-chewing expression.
She put her hand on her partner’s leg as if she didn’t feel like it and then said in a quarrelsome tone.
“Anyway, why are you going back and forth like this? Last time you said something informal, saying you were a non-believer and all, but this time you were using an honorific language?”
“…Think of it as individuality.”
“Damn. It gives me goosebumps when I hear it, so if you’re going to say it, do it informally.”
“I don’t like it.”
“Ha…So, what do you have to say?”
It’s unpleasant to talk about such perverted things with a girl, but when it’s about Namgoong Min, it can’t be helped.
After all, she is a saint, so anything she has to say to Namgoong Min will definitely be important.
‘Your lips were soft.’ If you say this kind of bullsh*t, I’ll go straight to your mouth…….’
Anyway, even if I didn’t get hurt inside the , I felt like I had to hit him to relieve some of his anger.
Are you going to first steal what I was saving for an important moment that I couldn’t do?
Liu was a wealthy man.
From Noble mtl dot com
Of course, I had no intention of forgiving the thief.
“It’s a story about a diary.”
“……………….”
“Of course, the one Mr. Liu has now.”
“…Damn it.”
I guess I’ll have to postpone blowing my mouth until later.
Liu straightened his posture with a slightly serious attitude and took out a diary from his pocket.
“This is what you’re talking about, right?”
“That’s right, have you read the inside?”
“I saw it a long time ago. Did you see it too?”
Aileen accepted the half-heartedly thrown diary and immediately opened the page.
But.
“…It’s a blank page.”
“There’s nothing written on it. Maybe it was made so it wouldn’t be visible. At least when I checked it with the artifacts I had, there wasn’t anything strange.”
“……It’s exactly as he said.”
“What?”
“Please hand over this diary to me.”
“…Why?”
“I’m sorry, I can’t tell you.”
“Ha!”
Quaak.
Liu roughly took the diary from Eileen’s hand and got up from his seat.
He had contemptuous eyes.
“You did that last time too. You stopped Namgoong Min from going to the Korean Empire and didn’t even tell him why.”
“……….”
“Did you mean to do such a harsh thing back then? Then this time, do you want to have s*x? Is this a saint or a prostitute?”
“…I don’t care what I hear from you.”
“Then?”
“If you won’t give me the diary, please at least cooperate.”
“Cooperation? 3P or something like that? How should I harass the b*tch who wants to f*ck my future husband with me?”
“…Is there really a future?”
“What?”
“I won’t say much. Mr. Liu, I don’t care what you do in the future, whether you make Namgoong Min her husband or your s*x partner.”
“……….”
“So…Please cooperate with me.”
*
Wow, I really had a good rest.
It is more correct to say that I just sat around and slept all day without anything to do.
On the first day, I met up with Eileen, drank tea, and went to a cafe, but from the next day, Eileen said she had work to do, so she stayed alone.
“It’s been a long time, Namgoong Min.”
“It’s only been 3 days, but it really feels like it’s been a while since I last saw you.”
“I didn’t know it would be so nice to see a normal person.”
“………?”
Let’s leave the princess, who suddenly seemed moved, for now.
The day after Chuseok, students began to gather one by one in a classroom dedicated to special vocational classes.
“Nam Goong Min!”
“Rain.”
“How have you been?”
“Of course I had a good time.”
Rain is still fresh.
“……….”
“Mr. Liu?”
“Ah, um. Uh…Hello.”
“……?”
Liu suddenly seems to have a lot on his mind.
“Hero, how was your Chuseok?”
“……Die…….”
“…Yes?”
“On both sides…A rich man…And a person with supernatural powers…And in front…The princess…”
“No, isn’t it autonomous? You can sit next to me if you want…”
“…You don’t really notice…”
“……….”
A warrior who speaks quietly, but each word is heavy.
All the special vocational classes gather together like this…… Creeping b*tch.
What is it? Where did the rest go?
“Is this all? What about Lucas?”
“…My brother is hospitalized.”
“Yes?”
“My brother said he would come about a week late.”
“The prince too?”
“…Saint…I said…I’d be late…”
“What a saint…”
I’m a saint, I don’t care if I’m late or not. Even if I come with him, is there more to it than creating synergy with the hero and turning me around?
So, is it just me, Liu, Rain, Eunha Kim, and Abel for the time being?
Well, most of the classes will be theory classes as usual anyway, so it doesn’t really matter……
“Tomorrow we go to the gate.”
“…Is it real?”
“Fortune teller, I guess you couldn’t tell this?”
…… Are you there?
No, it’s not a test or anything, so there won’t be a problem with your grades.
Rather than doing it on the mountain like you always do, you go to the gate?
‘From what I remember, the event leading to the gate didn’t come until I was in my third year.’
I understand that the gate is such a dangerous place due to its setting that it is only allowed to students in the third year or higher.
But it’s the second semester of our freshman year?
“Don’t worry, I’ll explain the details now.”
“…Yes.”
The instructor who suddenly came in instead of giving a theory class── Scarlett Redfield clicked the remote control with a fierce smile.
Then, something like a hologram begins to appear on the blackboard.
…… You’re over 70 years old, but you’re good at using these high-tech devices.
Other older professors preferred only chalk on the blackboard.
“The place we’re going to is the gate near here. Does anyone have any clues?”
“There is.”
“Yes, Lane Arthur. Tell me.”
“I understand that Is located on the Pacific Ocean near Romance Academy.”
“That’s right. Tomorrow, you guys will go into And practice.”
Dream in the middle of a dream. In other words, a dream within a dream.
Of course, it’s a gate that didn’t exist in the game.
This is a place I also learned about while studying theory.
‘A gate without a single monster.’
The entrance to Mongjungmong is in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. It’s just lying there on a vast ocean with nothing in it.
The discovery of the gate was delayed that much, and even though the exploration team came and went several times, it is said that there was not a single monster that would necessarily exist if it were a gate.
It turns out that all the monsters that jumped out of the gate drowned in the sea?
There is a limit to the number of monsters that exist at each gate. Dream of Dreams was a particularly small gate, so now it just exists without any monsters.
‘The gate at Liu’s mansion is a similar case.’
The gate where I met the strange crack guy was also like a dream.
If you pour out all the monsters that the small gate holds, it will now become Muju Gongsan.
If the inside of the gate is an environment where people can live, the land is actually expanding.
“Do you know about the characteristics of a dream in a dream?”
“I heard you can literally dream.”
“Yes, if you enter a dream, you can have a lucid dream. As a bonus, it can also treat insomnia.”
As Scarlett Redfield said, the environment in a dream is focused on the ‘dream’.
Anyone can easily sleep, dream unconditionally, and even have lucid dreams.
For this reason, the gate is also used for purposes such as treating insomnia and mental illness…… I heard this in class.
“But what kind of practice do you do when you go to a dream?”
“hahahaha! Princess, of course it’s a lucid dream. Special occupation classes, including the princess, will awaken their occupational abilities to the fullest extent possible through lucid dreaming.”
“Hmm…”
Well, it’s not wrong.
It would be helpful to experience abilities beyond your job limits through lucid dreaming.
But if this was unconditionally effective, all job holders would have found a dream.
“…I know…There are side effects…But…”
“What the hero said is correct. Lucid dreaming during a dream is highly addictive, and it is very difficult to wake up on your own. If you stay in the dream for more than an hour, you must receive a shock from the outside to wake up. But don’t worry!”
“………?”
“I’ll go with you and wake you up! I’ve woken up several other job holders, so there shouldn’t be any problem.”
“……………….”
You said ‘we’ and that gentleman was going too?
Well, it’s reassuring to know that the world’s strongest person is coming with you……
“Uh, instructor?”
“Hmm?”
“How do you wake me up…?”
“Of course, you’re hitting it with the back of a knife. It’ll only cause a few bruises, so don’t worry.”
“……….”
Well, it’s not like you broke any bones or anything, right?
No, you mean to hit me with that great sword?
It’s over 2m long, so you can live with it, right?
“Oh, if you want to have a lucid dream with someone, please let me know in advance.”
“What does it mean to sleep together?”
“The fortune teller just happened to ask the right question. It’s a trait that was recently discovered, but it is said that when sleeping in a dream, if you sleep with your bodies overlapping, you can enter each other’s dreams.”
“…What does it mean to overlap bodies?”
“I heard that holding hands isn’t enough, and that you should climb on top of each other or hug each other. Well, there’s no reason to do that since you’re not in a relationship! hahahaha!”
“……………….”
“……………….”
“……………….”
“Hmm? The atmosphere has suddenly changed. Anyway, let’s all know that and don’t be late for class tomorrow!”
No, don’t go out.
I am so ominous.
However, despite his earnest wish, Instructor Redfield left the classroom with a big smile on his face.
It was right after that.
“Hey.”
“Um, Mr. Liu?”
“Do it.”
“Uh, yes? Which one…”
“Just do it.”
“……Yes.”
Oh, I’ve never had a lucid dream before.
If we sleep together, Liu won’t find out we’re doing something strange…… ?
…… Hmm?
“Rain?”
“Namgoong Min, how do we…?”
“Huh? But…”
“I wanted to ask you to learn, just like I heard telekinetic advice last time. It would be easier to learn if you were in a lucid dream, right?”
“That’s right.”
In the game, Rain Arthur was close to an all-round character that broke the balance.
Others have weaknesses such as being weak at long range or weak in close combat, but Lane alone does not have such weaknesses.
In the beginning, the Is weak and does not stand out, but as you solve Rain’s character events, the Grows steadily.
‘It’s still not completely cleared, but…… ‘Rain’s mother is more of a back story.’
First of all, it was true that Raine had overcome her strengths and weaknesses, so it was natural that her superpowers would become much stronger.
Just in case she didn’t know, I told her ‘spotting’, which was one of Lane’s main skills in the game, as written in her skill description, and she followed suit right away.
Nowadays, only telekinesis is used mainly among , But Are a fraud-level job skill that combines various abilities such as teleportation, telepathy, and clairvoyance in addition to telekinesis.
If I grow Lane with my game knowledge, it will be of great help in many ways.
Because combat power is important during the main event of the second semester.
“Okay, then let’s do it!…Ah, Mr. Liu. Is that okay…?”
“……………….”
“Mr. Liu?”
“…Okay, fine. I don’t think that evil b*tch will give up anyway.”
“Thank you, Mr. Liu.”
“Close your mouth, b*tch.”
“What the f*ck?”
While I was thinking about the explanation of Rain’s skills while Rio and Rain were fighting like always.
Suddenly, I turned my head to the side and saw the princess looking at me.
“Princess?”
“…No.”
Why is it like that? It was a very strange expression.
I’m sure it’s not like we’re having a lucid dream together, so what is it?
“…….Please die…….”
“……….”
Please be quiet.
