The comments section all think I'm a really good person.

To be honest, these things aren't really heroic activities; they're more like Shiori Hachiya's personal hobbies.

A person doesn't die from a nightmare, nor does he become depressed because he missed a beautiful dream.

She simply felt a great sense of accomplishment from doing it.

Like Santa Claus, she now rides a sleigh pulled by reindeer, traversing through layers of dreamlike clouds. Looking down at the brightly lit, mesmerizing city below, a sense of accomplishment and joy wells up within her.

A large, exaggerated net hung from the back of her sled, containing all sorts of bizarrely shaped nightmares. After patrolling briefly and passing through numerous dreams, Shiori Hachiya steered the sled toward her next destination.

She needs to pay special attention to the dreams of acquaintances.

Nana Oba's... no good.

The trauma Shiori Hachiya experienced from her previous intrusion into Nana Oba's dream sent a chill down her spine, causing her to abandon the idea.

Although Nana is a very good friend, it's still better for friends to maintain a certain distance.

Therefore, this option is not acceptable.

"Strange... Tenjō isn't asleep yet?" Shiori Hachiya's next target wasn't within the search area either. She muttered to herself in confusion and couldn't help but scratch her head.

Yuki Uesugi... Oh, this person is still staying up all night, she hasn't slept at all, so we can't find her dreams.

This time, she did manage to detect the mental fluctuations of Uesugi Yuki, who was dozing off, but the fact that she wasn't sleeping made things a bit difficult for her.

She knew that her colleague had a habit of staying up late, after all, the other person seemed to have a hobby of writing at night.

She had originally wanted to let Miss Kitagawa meet her in her dreams, but neither of them was asleep, and Shiori Hachiya had good intentions but didn't know where to put them.

[Hilarious! Tianjing is probably burning the midnight oil working on the twisted version of Silver Garden.]

[I noticed it too, her eyes lit up when she saw Banana interacting with Lian-gege hhhhh]

[Speaking of this, I really didn't expect the newly added Tianjing setting to be so ridiculous. What kind of writer is this, writing about the Tower of Civilization pairings?]

[They even specifically highlighted her pen name, Yujian Xuna, so that the forum can now be viewed.]

[Holy crap, is this for real?]

[Of course it's real! Isn't this the official forum that just launched? Just click on it to see.]

Seeing her posts filled with bizarre and wonderful writings from within the Tower of Civilization, I burst out laughing.

[Wow, Tianjing is such a good writer! If you can write well, write more!]

[I'm rubbing my hands together, waiting for her to open the Silver Court series! #(funny)]

Unexpectedly, her colleague was now frantically writing bizarre and twisted documents. Shiori Hachiya searched for a while but couldn't find the other person's dream. She rubbed her nose and had to give up.

Never mind, it's only midnight now. I'll let these two meet in their dreams after I return from other people's dreams.

Shiori Hachiya rode a sled, gliding through the air.

She saw Saki Koizumi's dream.

...Wait, what's wrong with this guy?

How can I sleep so soundly on Valentine's Day night when I'm with my girlfriend?

Shiori Hachiya couldn't find Kita Kirihara's dream, and considering what happened during the day, she figured he might be having trouble sleeping.

In comparison, the fact that Koizumi Saki was fast asleep makes her seem even more unforgivable.

Despite these thoughts, Shiori Hachiya had no intention of causing trouble for Saki Koizumi. After all, she couldn't enter Koizumi's dream without permission.

The Dream Weaver's sleigh swept across the spiritual world of the Gods, and from afar, one could see the blinding light and heat surging within that spiritual world, almost incinerating anyone who approached it.

In this dream world where the tones are mostly dark, Saki Koizumi's dreams are like the blazing sun that suddenly rises in the night.

Just one glance at it was too glaring.

[Koizumi's three-year-old mind is so bright... Ouch, watching the live stream late at night almost blinded me!]

[A normal person wouldn't have this level of brightness, right?]

The light emanating from dreams is actually related to personality and mental strength; I remember it being mentioned in the dream weaver's personal origin story.

[After all, he's a god who made a deal with the world, and he's consistently ranked T1 in the WP world's power rankings. It's normal for his mental fortitude to be a little bit stronger, right?]

But wasn't she the one most prone to moral decay before?

[Speaking of which, it's really strange. Koizumi, who is always portrayed as decadent in the background, actually gives people the impression of being very calm and taciturn, and seems to have a much more stable mental state than others.]

No… don’t just look at the origin story of Banana. Koizumi’s condition only stabilized rapidly after Ahara came back. Before that, Koizumi was actually quite irritable and in an unstable state.

[Really? I can't quite believe it.]

[It's true, it's mentioned in the Dream Weaver's origin story that the reason she provided mental counseling to Koizumi was because Koizumi was suffering from insomnia night after night and experiencing severe auditory and visual hallucinations.]

I remember Koizumi almost smashed his enemy's head in with a single punch; it was truly terrifying.

[Holy crap!]

Actually, even the first generation of Special Class 1 fighters weren't that simple... They were pioneers after all, so we can't underestimate them just because they all played a significant role in the later storyline.

That's true, but I really didn't expect that the seemingly carefree chief would have gone through that kind of period.

[Although it seems childish, it's still someone who became the chief during a chaotic period wwwww Maybe he's a wicked person inside]

Hmm...this sounds kind of exciting.

As the comments section was buzzing, Shiori Hachiya unknowingly found herself in a somewhat familiar dream world.

The reason she felt somewhat familiar with the dream was because she had met the dream's owner once before and had asked her to let her meet Nana Ohba.

Despite having a habitually cold expression, he's actually not that unapproachable.

However, this dream...

"future!!!!!!!!!!"

A heart-wrenching scream suddenly rang out amidst a sea of ​​fire. Shiori Hachiya had just stepped into this dream when she felt a wave of intense heat wash over her.

Was it human? Or was it a humanoid monster covered in golden crystals, letting out a hoarse wail?

Before it, only a wisp of ash drifted away with the rising heat.

And all around were the monsters called noise that we had seen at the concert before.

90. Sealed Memories

From that humanoid face, composed of golden crystals, which should be considered the mouth, came the most piercing wail Shiori Hachitani had ever heard.

That is the pain of losing the most precious person, the pain of the sun going out.

Shiori Hachiya could tell that it was Hibiki Tachibana's voice.

But Tachibana Hibiki in front of her felt completely unfamiliar.

Countless golden crystals grew around Hibiki Tachibana's skin, and the terrifying heat emanating from her body melted asphalt and steel, burning her human parts as well. The sizzling sound of burning flesh and bones could even be heard.

Overwhelmed by pain and sorrow, Hibiki Tachibana let out a roar that sent chills down the spines of those around her, like a wild beast that had lost its mind.

She instinctively scratched her face and body, which was being torn apart from the inside by the proliferating crystals of the relics. These crystals clung to her body, burning and replacing her original tissues.

It's different from what the people who examined her body before said.

She won't explode... but will be completely replaced by these seemingly living crystals.

Hibiki Tachibana transformed into a human-shaped relic.

Skin, muscles, blood, and bones were burned away, leaving only the soul—the part that could be called human—while the physical body was completely devoured in this horrific act of consumption.

It brought a turning point in Tachibana Hibiki's fate, but also the despairing fragments of the sacred relic, which ultimately devoured her human side completely.

The remaining trace of consciousness attached to this humanoid relic... could it be called Tachibana Hibiki?

No one knows.

The humanoid relic stretched out its hand in vain, trying to grasp the last wisp of ashes left of its dearest friend, but its consciousness became increasingly blurred amidst the excruciating pain.

future……

She wanted to speak, wanted to cry, but found that she could only make a "hoarse" sound when she opened her mouth, and her tear ducts were no longer there.

She tried to reach out her hand.

Those hands, once considered by her close friend Kohinata Mirai to be gentle hands that saved others, are now unrecognizable.

Blood was squeezed out of her veins and flowed from where her eyes should have been, before quickly evaporating.

It didn't even get onto my face.

I'm so scared...about the future...

Who can come... to save... the future...?

Hibiki Tachibana's consciousness eventually faded into darkness.

The humanoid relic collapsed amidst the sea of ​​fire.

The ashes that should have belonged to people slowly settled on her.

Shiori Hachiya... Shiori Hachiya wondered if she shouldn't be here.

She felt an unusual heaviness.

The overwhelming weight told her that this was not an ordinary nightmare, but a real memory.

This is bad, this is bad, this is bad, this is bad, this is bad... I just casually saw someone else's tragic memories of this level, and I'll be killed by Tachibana afterwards!

Besides... I definitely don't want anyone to see these kinds of memories! It's really bad that I barged in like this!

Let's leave now...

"Hibiki, just hang in there a little longer, I'm almost there..."

Just as Shiori Hachiya was sweating profusely and trying to escape, she suddenly heard a familiar voice.

The reason she said she was familiar with the other person was because they had just become friends recently, and the other person's voice was somewhat unique and gentle, which is why Shiori Hachiya recognized them immediately.

This isn't North... Waaaaa?!

The next second, a dizzying sense of rejection suddenly burst forth from this entire mental world, and the sea of ​​fire in front of him surged up violently, forming a barrier that blocked his entire vision.

Shiori Hachiya was thrown out along with her sled, and rolled several times in the air in a disheveled manner.
