Chapter 36 Dream-Devouring Clown
"Welcome to the dream world--!"
The Dream-Changing Clown shouted out his entrance lines in an exaggerated and funny tone, opened his arms, and posed in front of Hitomi Toono.
Its body looks like a pear with arms and legs. It wears a performance costume that looks like a peacock spreading its tail. Its face is covered with white paint, with green eye circles and a bright red sausage-like mouth. It has a typical clown look.
Tono Hitomi got up from the ground and was about to touch her Jewelmon Transformer subconsciously, but she found that the Sakura hairpin did not move.
Rather...she couldn't feel the existence of magic at all now.
"Magic power... How could it be?!" Toono Hitomi was horrified. Based on her experience of fighting against the Dream-Eating Clown, even if she was pulled into the dream, at most a part of her strength would be suppressed, not to the point where she could not sense the magic power at all.
The dream-eating clown will bewitch humans and drag them into a specific dream.
It will turn this specific dream into a nightmare, and then collect the nightmare energy generated by humans in the nightmare to strengthen itself.
But as a weirdo, the Dream-Eating Clown cannot dream.
It is not a real human being. Although it can play with human dreams, it does not have the ability to dream.
So, generally speaking, Dream Eater will look for the most suitable dream location to transform into a nightmare, and such dreams often come from humans who are burdened with worries.
The rules of dreams are also formed according to the dreamer's own worldview.
“Ahehehehe——” Dream-Eating Clown raised his hands and laughed, “What a lucky guy! What a lucky guy! It turns out to be a dream world without magic!”
There is no magic in the rules of this world, so magical girls cannot transform and it is absolutely impossible to defeat it!
Unless the magical girl in front of him can find the [center] of the dream, that is, the owner of this dream, and wake her up, he can only watch this beautiful dream world gradually turn into a nightmare.
But how could it be so easy to wake someone up?
After entering this dream, except for the magical girl who has a certain magic resistance, everyone's memory will be overwritten by the memory of this world, becoming the native residents of this world, completely unaware that they are outsiders.
Not to mention that as the [center] of the dream, how could one feel any sense of disobedience towards one's own dream?
It is almost impossible to find the [center] among so many strangers!
The fact that the magical girl couldn't transform was not enough evidence at all. Dream Clown was naturally very excited that he could finally defeat the magical girl.
“Just watch me swallow up everyone’s dreams! Ahehehehehe——”
When the shrill laugh came, there was no one in front of Dream-Eating Clown. I think Tono Hitomi should have realized the problem and took the opportunity to escape while the weirdo was talking, looking for a way to solve the problem.
She penetrated the fog created by the dream-destroying clown and felt the crackling of raindrops hitting her face. She looked around, but all she saw was an endless plain, which had nothing in common with the city she lived in.
As a magical girl who had fought with the Dream-Eating Clown more than a dozen times, Tono Hitomi naturally knew how to break the situation. However, the scenery in front of her was too unfamiliar, and she couldn't find the way, and was somewhat confused.
In short, find someone first.
According to the range covered by the Dream-Eating Clown's dream magic, the people in the dream should all be students from the same school who were pulled in by the Dream-Eating Clown, so Mayumi Hanega should be among them.
If Mayumi could be found, she would definitely help him even if she had forgotten who he was - Tono Hitomi was very confident.
If Mayumi is around when you can't transform, things will become a lot simpler.
Although Mayumi Haga has always been a miserable character of "a friend of the magical girl who is involved in an accident", and seems to be as useless and inexplicably crucial as Krillin who was used to make Sun Wukong explode, but if we put aside the magic factor, Mayumi Haga is the most reliable partner who can give people a sense of security.
After all, he is the one with the highest martial arts value under normal circumstances and has some fighting skills.
...
The little snake felt extremely humiliated.
If he had not had the time to sign a contract with Kagura Yu and establish a channel for sharing magic power with the other party, he would never have fallen to this point.
The little snake was dragged into the dream by a monster and forcibly separated from its reserve partner Kagura Yu because of its independent consciousness. The little snake, who had no ability to move, had to curl up under a stone in the corner of the dream.
The rain made the little snake's body temperature lower and lower. It was clearly in a dream, but it became more and more sleepy.
How disgusting... It's like I've returned to the time when I was just born.
All the other cute jewel beasts have found partners, but this one, because it is not pretty enough, has not been able to find a girl willing to sign a contract with it.
It is obvious that my scales are the most beautiful and my brain is the best.
Xiaoshe is a proud person, and he is unwilling to choose a mediocre character with no magical talent as his partner, and he is unwilling to compromise.
Damn... this feels so bad...
It curled up in a ball in its dream, completely unaware that amidst the noisy rain, there seemed to be another sound.
The black-haired girl was wearing a light white distinctive costume and was not wearing a guardian suit. She was carrying a one-handed sword, a shield, and a bow and arrow, and she stopped in front of the stone.
She didn't hold an umbrella, but just put on her hood. The rain poured into her clothes through the collar, soaking her whole body, and her hair stuck to her pale skin.
His expression did not seem as gloomy and taciturn as before. Rather, there was still a bit of immaturity between his eyebrows, which disappeared after he became a young man. He was just expressing pure curiosity.
The 19-year-old guardian Mayumi Haga, who had just finished the instruction of her senior and was about to embark on a journey alone, picked up a small snake with beautiful colors on the side of the road.
She looked surprised, because she had never seen a snake with scales like purple gemstones. When this little snake grows up, it can become a precious material, a decoration on a weapon, or a part of a rare potion.
So she picked up the frozen little snake from the ground, dried it with a towel, and put it in her arms.
PS: Someone won’t be exposed like this)
The identity of the owner of this dream is already very clear. Let's see how long it will take for 19-year-old Mayumi to find a magical girl crying and starving to death on the roadside.)
Chapter 37 Mayumi Haga·Traveler Limited Edition
Tono Hitomi has been walking in this dream for almost a day and a night.
In fact, she didn't quite understand how long she had walked, she only knew that she had been walking along the dirt road on the plain for a long time.
The sky in the dream soon cleared up, and the two moons on the horizon rose and set, but she still didn't see any human habitation.
"Wow... I'm starving..." Although she knew rationally that she had only spent a few minutes in the dream and that the passing of time was just a rule of dreams, hunger and fatigue still made Touno Hitomi's steps weak and she couldn't muster any strength.
My stomach was growling loudly, my throat felt like it was smoking, and my feet felt like they were filled with lead… If I didn’t find someone quickly, I might be trapped in this dream and unable to move!
No……
Knowing that she was in great danger, but unable to use her magic, Hitomi Tono was helpless and silently shed wide-noodle tears in her heart.
Do we really have to wait for Lily and Sister Rika to come and rescue us?
Although it is a solution, but...
Tono Hitomi rarely encounters such a situation, and she wants to solve it herself.
Wow, Mayumi, where are you?
Such a cry came from the bottom of her heart, and in fact, Touno Hitomi was just a little bit away from fainting. Everything in front of her was blurred and she was about to pass out from heatstroke.
"Excuse me, are you okay?" A voice like the sound of nature came from not far away. Tono Hitomi forced herself to look over, and when she saw Mayumi Hanega's face, her eyes suddenly lit up.
The person who came was Mayumi Haga, dressed as a traveler.
Not only did he change into local clothes, he also looked more mature than the Mayumi she knew. There was a shallow scar at the corner of his eye, and he was looking at her worriedly with a familiar yet unfamiliar look.
Tono Hitomi almost hugged the traveler Mayumi Hanega's thighs and cried: "Wow - Mayumi - it's really Mayumi -"
Unlike Little Bear who often sheds tears, Tono Hitomi is usually carefree and cries with great energy.
Moreover, emotions come and go quickly. In a short while, the silly pink-haired boy's spirit became full because of "finding Mayumi and absorbing Mayumi's energy". He was so energetic that it was a little scary.
The person who was found, Mayumi Haga, looked confused: "...Who are you?"
She seems to have forgotten all her memories of the magical girl world and is only active as a dream NPC. After seeing Hitomi Tono, she comes to help Hitomi Tono out of false memories.
Taking out potions, water and food from the bag on her back, the traveler named Mayumi Haga had a gentle expression and patiently reminded: "When traveling long distances, remember to bring enough food and water. This is a cooling potion, take it... What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Before she could finish her words, Mayumi Haga noticed that Tono Hitomi was looking at her with a shocked and stupid expression, and she couldn't help feeling confused.
Tono Hitomi was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth. She stared blankly at Mayumi Hanega, whose expression was ten thousand times gentler than usual. She was a little flattered: "No, nothing, I just feel that you and my friend seem..."
What memories did this dream world give Mayumi?
He actually smiled! And he showed his concern for a stranger he just met! His expression was so gentle. He was already good-looking, and now he even felt like there was a holy light shining behind him...
I really want to make Mayumi's current personality semi-permanent.
If this could make Mayumi smile more and feel less depressed.
"I was just traveling through here, and I probably haven't met you before." Mayumi Yuga was stunned, and then said helplessly, "Is your friend really that similar to me?"
Mayumi Haga did not become a dark person. She was introverted, quite calm and reliable, and people could not help but be attracted by this gentle light.
He is just like the handsome and powerful knight in the story, sharp as a sword out of its sheath, yet able to be relaxed, meticulous and considerate when dealing with others.
"Well, where are you going to travel next?" Tono Hitomi finally replenished some strength, pulled the hand extended by Hane Mayumi and stood up, she asked directly.
If Mayumi is a [Traveler] in this dream, then it would be much safer for her to follow Mayumi than to go alone. And according to the scene that there is only one road in this dream world, her destination should be the same as Mayumi Haga.
When Tono Hitomi wasn't noticing, Mayumi Haga slightly shifted her gaze away, as if she was thinking about something.
Then, she replied warmly: "I heard that there is a village at the end of this road, called the Wizard Village. I plan to go there to ask for the divination results and broaden my horizons."
The Wizard's Village...? That should be the important place in this dream.
Because the main content of the dream is concentrated around the dreamer, so if this is a dream with a progressive plot, the NPCs in the dream will go to the center of the dream.
Now Mayumi is also an NPC, and will follow the dream rules to go to the center of the dream. All I have to do is follow her.
"I'm also interested in the Wizard Village. Can I go with you?" Tono Hitomi pleaded with the traveler in front of her, "I don't know where to go now..."
If she had stayed where she was, without Mayumi Haga's rescue, Tohno Hitomi might have really "starved to death" in this dream and become an unidentified object lying on the roadside.
What she didn't know was that this dream would have a "death ending".
Mayumi Haga knew this and couldn't bear to leave Hitomi Tono on the side of the road. She thought for a moment and agreed to take Hitomi Tono with her.
However, she still wanted to remind Tono Hitomi, who didn't look like a quiet guy: "This road is not very safe, follow me closely, and don't run around if you encounter danger."
Tono Hitomi didn't encounter any danger when she was alone, but when she followed Mayumi Haga, things became very different.
Unknown ferocious monsters popped out one after another, waving their weapons aggressively, and occasionally cold arrows flew from not far away... If it weren't for Mayumi Haga, perhaps Hitomi Tohno would have been killed here in her dream.
She also listened to Mayumi Hanega's words and stood obediently behind him, watching him easily defeat these tricky monsters.
So powerful... In just a blink of an eye, all those monsters fell down.
Mayumi Haga originally wanted to process the materials on the spot, but when she noticed that Tono Hitomi was looking at her with sparkling eyes, her hand that was reaching out for the materials paused.
She no longer looked at the monster corpses, nor did she give Hitomi Toono a chance to take a closer look. She whispered, "There are a lot of monsters here," and hurriedly took Hitomi Toono to continue their journey.
On the third day of the dream time, the two arrived at the Wizard's Village.
Chapter 38 It is this moment
Forest Station.
When traveling, you will often encounter sudden rainstorms, and you may not see any houses for a long time. Fortunately, there are inns beside the road for travelers to rest.
In the inn, the dream NPC with the face of a high school student was gathering around the stove, drying his clothes.
Suddenly, the curtain at the door was opened by a strange traveler. Humidity and cold wind poured in, and the two travelers walked into the post station with a chill.
The innkeeper who was dozing off at the front desk raised his eyes and noticed the two unusual-looking travelers.
She glanced lazily at Mayumi Hanega, and then greeted her in an uncle's tone: "Hey, two guests, please help yourself."
To be honest, it was quite awkward to see a high school girl with the lazy look of a middle-aged man on her face, but in this dream, everyone except Hitomi Toono turned a blind eye to it.
Hitomi Tono recognized that the boss was the captain of the school volleyball club. After the game before the dream came, she was happily planning to go on a date with her boyfriend.
Apart from the traveler Mayumi Haga, Tohno Hitomi finally saw the other people who were pulled into the dream.
She breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that her choice was right.
Mayumi Haga had already taken off her coat, which was soaked by the rain, and hung it beside her. She found two clean towels from somewhere, and after Tohno Hitomi took off her waterproof cloak, she stuffed the other one into Tohno Hitomi's arms and said, "Wipe it off a little."
Because she left her cloak to Tono Hitomi, Mayumi Hanega was soaked. However, as a traveler, she was used to such situations, and quickly cleaned up her mess and changed into dry clothes in the compartment of the post station.
On the contrary, Tohno Hitomi was still wearing her school uniform and had no change of clothes. Fortunately, the waterproof cloak was the same size as Mayumi Haga and could almost cover her entire body, so she was not as bad as Mayumi Haga.
When Mayumi Haga was changing clothes, Hitomi Tono was waiting in the lobby, and was enthusiastically pulled over by the NPCs in the dream of the volleyball club members to warm themselves by the fire. Perhaps because she looked younger than the NPCs, they pulled her over to chat.
Hitomi Tono, who was treated as a child by her peers, was amused:?
This dream is too magical...
When Mayumi Yuga came out, the NPC travelers had already pulled Tono Hitomi to sing at the top of their lungs. She paused as she walked down the stairs, looking at the familiar smiles on the faces of the strangers by the stove, and couldn't help laughing.
