“It was a dream… I see…”

Ophelia hugged her body and trembled. No matter how unrealistic it was, the experience of being burned at the stake was enough to leave her traumatized.

“There is a long way to go. Come on.”

Isabelle said, pointing to the rift created by the disappearance of the nightmare. Eri raised Ophelia, who was sitting down. As she said, there was still a lot of people left to find.

They crossed the rift, and as soon as they passed, they saw a slightly larger inn.

“It’s someone’s dream that an inn will come out.”

Mars opened the inn door.

It was dark at night, so the hall on the first floor was empty.

They went through the hall and stepped up the stairs to the second floor.

It was around the time we reached the second floor.

– Ah…! Cloud… Haha! aah!”

A somewhat harsh moan was heard. A voice they know well. It was Katarina’s voice.

“…I think I know whose dream this dream is.”

Having said that, Eri moved on without hesitation. The rest of the party silently followed her, perhaps of the same opinion. Eri, who arrived in the room next to the room where the moan was heard, opened the door.

“stop…”

Neria was in the room. She covered her ears with a pillow and was crying.

“Please stop…”

The people who somehow saved Neria from the nightmare.

He crossed the rift with Ophelia and Neria, who are still unable to get out of the trauma.

A beautiful garden appeared before them this time.

Many people gathered in the garden in full bloom, and the atmosphere was very friendly.

The atmosphere was too bright to be a nightmare, so the party fell into doubt.

An old butler in a neat suit approached them.

“Guests. Thank you for coming this far, but it’s difficult if you don’t dress appropriately. I will lend you the remaining suits and dresses, so please come along.”

He spoke politely, but somehow it felt forced. It wasn’t that I didn’t feel a sense of repulsion, but there’s nothing good about making a fuss without understanding the situation.

They followed the butler into the mansion.

The butler took them to the dressing room located in the corner on the first floor.

“Wow…”

Isabelle admired the clothes lined up in the room. Butler clothes, maid clothes, suits, dresses, and so on were all lined up on display, and she could only admire her.

Even Eri, who was born into a noble family, was a little surprised.

“Choose your favorite clothes and put them on in the dressing room and we will guide you outside.”

The butler bowed his head.

Mars and his companions went into the dressing room and started looking at their clothes.

Eri, who was examining the black dress, widened her eyes.

“This is a dress made by the Enes family!”

She also looked at brands of other dresses. It was the same. All were dresses of the Enes family.

“Is there something special about the Enes family?”

Isabelle asked why it was such a fuss.

“Not special! The Enes family is the best clothing brand on the continent. A dress like this would be equivalent to a year’s income of a decent baron.”

“What, what!”

A startled voice. It’s not Isabelle’s voice. Eri tilted her head and walked in the direction the voice was heard. After passing about three shelves, I found the owner of the voice.

“Hey, this is so expensive!”

Katarina stared at the V-dress she was wearing, confused. Beside her, Leslie looked at her as if pathetic, and Marietta smiled awkwardly.

“…why are you guys here”

“I think the question is wrong. Wouldn’t ‘how’ be more correct than ‘why’?”

Eri looked at Leslie. Leslie shrugged.

“Probably the same as you. I realized it was a nightmare and got out.”

“I realized it was a nightmare and got out of it”

“I would like to say yes, but… no. Shedia saved us from our nightmare.”

As soon as Leslie finished speaking, Shedia poked her face out of her shadow and made a V with her fingers. Leslie grinned and patted Shedia’s head.

“Then, who helped him, the hero?”

“Wow, we…”

Eri stuttered. I would like to say that I escaped on my own, but if I did, I would be lying.

‘…You don’t have to tell a lie that’s obvious.’

It was the moment she was trying to kill her pride and tell the truth.

“We were helped by Isabelle.”

Mars hit the player.

“okay”

Leslie narrowed her eyes and looked at Eri.

“You are always the same. I envy you.”

“Everyone, shut up!”

Eri raised her voice in embarrassment.

“Dear guests, the ceremony will be held soon. It is good to think about it, but please make a decision as soon as possible.”

The butler poured cold water into the atmosphere that was about to intensify.

“Wear something and go out. After all, our purpose is not to have a party, but to get out of the nightmare.”

“I was going to do it even if you didn’t say it!”

joy! Eri sniffed and grabbed the black dress she had seen earlier. So, one by one, I got dressed in the dressing room, and came out of the dressing room only after everyone was dressed.

“We will guide you directly to the dining room.”

The butler hurriedly led them to the banquet hall. The place called the dining hall was the garden where they were before.

The difference is that it is now in the center of the garden, unlike the one in the corner of the garden.

Because it was the center, it was crowded with people, but they all exuded a luxurious atmosphere.

Leslie looked at them carefully, said Leslie.

“This is probably Frilite-san’s dream.”

Her group also agreed with her opinion. The only people left were Cloud and Frillite, but if anyone asked who was closer to this old-fashioned atmosphere, it was of course Frillite.

Cloud is from commoners, whereas Frilite is the enemy of the Ferdiak family, one of the most powerful families in the Empire.

However, there was something that Leslie and the rest of the party did not understand, and why was such a cheerful dream a nightmare?

The question was resolved after a while when Cloud appeared in a suit and a woman in a wedding dress followed after him.

“…the ‘ceremonial’ the butler said was a wedding”

When everyone, including Eri, was looking at the bride and groom with absurd eyes, Neria sat down with a sigh.

“Oh, no…”

She shakes her head as if in denial of reality.

Eri quickly clinged to her and covered her mouth in case she ever screamed.

“…it sure is a nightmare.”

Leslie clicked her tongue as she looked at the bride and groom looking at each other with tender eyes.

“I was starting to get annoyed too. Let’s go find Frilite-san and leave.”

“Ah, there! There’s Frilite unnie over there!”

The party turned their gaze in the direction Isabelle was pointing. The back corner of the wedding stage. Leaning against a vine-covered garden wall, she watched the wedding with her arms crossed.

Then he turned his back and disappeared over the garden wall.

“…there is no life in your eyes”

“It’s a nightmare. I guess it’s because it’s hard. Come on, let me remind you that this is a nightmare.”

“Come on, wait a minute. I think it would be counterproductive if we all came together. I’ll go alone. Sisters are waiting here!”

Isabelle ran as she lifted her dress slightly. Isabelle headed to the place where Frilite disappeared and was able to find her shortly thereafter.

‘Fortunately, I didn’t go far.’

Isabelle, slightly relieved, approached Frillite, who had her head banged against the wall.

“sister-“

Isabelle approached her and was startled.

“Sister, cry…”

It was because she was crying, even if she stabbed her with a knife, not even a drop of blood would come out.

Although she didn’t contort her face and she didn’t sniff, tears ran down her cheeks.

“This place is in a dream..”

“Yes, sister. Think about it. Conceptually, it’s weird. How can two warriors come out of a family? It’s strange to see relatives as the opposite s*x in the first place.

Upon hearing Isabelle’s story, Frilite fell into thoughts.

how much time has passed

Frylite came to a conclusion.

“Actually, there are a lot of things that don’t match up with what you said. My memory is messed up.”

“Okay, so from now on…”

“From now on, we can just destroy this damn nightmare.”

A red energy began to spread rapidly around Frilite.

The red energy gathered together to form a large hammer.

Dozens of hammers thus created floated in the air.

“Hey, sister, what are you doing now?”

“I am trying to destroy the nightmare as you said.”

“No, I wasn’t talking about physically destroying… this is not overdone”

“half a year.”

“yes”

“It’s half a year. It was the time when I suffered from this nightmare. it’s boring now I want to get out of this damn nightmare as soon as possible.”

she snapped her fingers

The hammers were swung towards the floor in unison.

Koo-!

Unable to withstand the strong shock, the nightmare was shattered.

“Well. It’s a nightmare, too.”

Looking at the nightmare that became particles and scattered, Frylite smiled satisfied.

“I said there is only one cloud left, so go ahead. I don’t know what kind of pain Cloud is going through.”

The nightmare collapsed and Frilite moved without hesitation toward the black rift that had formed.

Isabelle stared blankly at the scene, and followed Frylite along with the others.
