My mother's love song

“Since it’s a dream, of course it’s a fictional world where anything can happen.

The laws of physics and planetary principles are not applicable in this fairy realm, so it is not surprising that ghouls can multiply infinitely, right?"

"After all, it is biologically very difficult for a goblin to transform into a ghoul.

After Morgan drained the Fantasy Tree, this fairy country became the world that most rejected pan-human history among all the Lostbelts.

I was wondering why British goblins could be infected and become ghouls."

"Well, if that's the case... Indeed, if they created the monster themselves, that would explain why it didn't hurt them.

But the girl’s dream was about a ghoul… isn’t that too weird?”

Meili frowned, and Rod spoke meaningfully.

"Because this is a 'dream that produces terror and madness'... a nightmare."

"?"

Merida frowned slightly, but Rhode had no intention of continuing to speak further.

She accepted the boy's statement to a certain extent, but was still a little unconvinced.

"Where's the evidence? Since you are so sure that the monsters are the dream and fictional world [Fairy Realm] of the Mirror Clan, you must have the evidence, right?"

"No."

"Hey……"

"Although it's not here yet, it will be here soon." Rhodes murmured.

"What do you mean?!"

Just when the female magician was about to get to the bottom of the matter, suddenly, a strong chill swept through her body.

"come yet."

Rhodes put down his crossed legs and stood up from the Xingneihai chair.

Meili swallowed. "W-What's coming...?"

"The strongest terror, the strongest monster."

As Rhodes spoke, he drew out the Reversal Holy Sword from the void.

"Merry, do you know what the most powerful monster in British legend is?"

"…Kathy Paluge?"

Meili uttered the name of the primate killer, and then asked again: "Huh? Are you saying that Fufu will appear in front of us next?

Hmm...if Fufu appears in this village, then we can only assume that all the monsters that appear in the village are the product of dreams."

“Do you think Cathy Palug is the most powerful monster in Britain?

The three-eyed cursed cat that appears in Arthurian legend... Yeah, that's what I thought.

However, the owner of the dream doesn’t seem to think so..."

Rhodes frowned slightly and looked at the figure slowly emerging at the end of the village path.

"Whether it's the ghoul just now or the strongest monster that comes next...

It seems that during my absence, the Mirror Clan has become obsessed with modern pop culture."

"!"

Then, the "monster" that appeared in Meili's eyes revealed its true form.

“…………A human girl?”

Until this moment, the Flower Magician finally believed the conclusion stated by Rhodes.

After all, no matter how strange the fairy kingdom is, there won't be girls in kimonos appearing as wild monsters.

She was a beautiful young woman with short black hair.

Her slender body was wrapped and outlined in traditional costumes consistent with pan-human history, and she walked towards this side with a leisurely pace as if taking a walk.

"Wait, wait...I think I've seen this kid somewhere before?"

The Oriental girl was wearing a pure white kimono and holding a Japanese sword that was shining with a cold light.

Below the casually short bangs are a pair of blue eyes that seem to look directly into the soul, and the beautiful figure is like the pure white god of death.

Mary held her breath. "Mystic Eyes that can kill...!? Oh, I remember now! She's the one who was staying at Rhode's house..."

"No, that's not right. She just happens to look like my sister. I don't know her."

Rhodes flatly denied the name the female magician said.

“This guy is…

A monster that appears in modern interpretations of King Arthur's legend and has become quite popular in subculture circles in recent years.

[Beheaded Rabbit], I think that’s the name.”

He stared at the long rabbit ears swaying on the girl's head, lowered his body, and said with a sinister smile:

"Ha, it's indeed a monster worthy of the title of the strongest."

The next moment, Rhodes and the girl in the white kimono stood up almost at the same time and jumped out literally.

"Being able to fight the god of death to my heart's content is such a pleasant dream!"

The distance of ten meters disappeared in an instant.

The flying [Beheading Rabbit] twisted its body in a way that no human could ever accomplish, and swung its blade sideways the moment it got close to Rhodes.

The slashing was so fast that it made people feel as if time had gone backwards.

Rhodes did not back down even though the blow was powerful enough to kill a god.

Nor did he hesitate because the monster had the same face as his beloved sister.

The young man dodged the vital points at the critical moment and swung the sword towards the girl's neck.

A dark flash passed down the center line of the girl's neck.

Then, a beautiful head with rabbit ears, as delicate as a doll, flew off her shoulders.

The body fell to the ground quietly, as silent as falling snow.

As Bard released flames from his palms to burn the girl's body, he turned his head and looked at Mary with a mocking expression.

"So, can that be considered evidence?"

……

……

……

"The fairy territory set up in this village is a great barrier that turns [fiction] into [reality] at the cost of everyone falling asleep.

I have completely understood this part, but...

Why on earth did the fairies of the Mirror Clan do this?

"In a small village that no one would visit, I keep having these horror movie-like dreams? What's the purpose?"

While Mary was muttering to herself, Rhodes remained silent with a solemn attitude.

Humph, the female magician raised the corners of her mouth slightly.

"Anyway, the extremely smart Rhodes already knows the truth, right?"

"I just happened to know the reason because I have experience in this area. It has nothing to do with intelligence."

"Oh, I don't deny that I'm smart."

Meili smiled bitterly and walked up to him: "It seems that you already have an idea for the next step... Hehe, tell me what to do next?"

"Well, after all, we still have to wake them up first."

Rhode said: "If we don't remove this fairy domain, nothing can be solved."

Meili shrugged her shoulders and said with a relaxed look: "I'm sorry, I've already checked...

They did not fall into a deep sleep due to hypnosis or illusion. Until the principle is understood, this is not a dream that I can decipher.

Even the nightmare...is not omnipotent in this regard."

Rhodes replied, "I think so."

If it was a dream that suppressed Bagster, Mary should be able to lift it easily.

However, the criminal this time is not the same one who caused the Fairy Knight to suffer from hallucinations.

"I feel a little unhappy about being looked down upon." Mary puffed up her cheeks.

Rhode stared at the female magician's face and said calmly, "Although you can't wake them up, you can invade their dreams, right?"

"Oh, I clearly wanted to hide this matter, but you still found out."

The silver-haired beauty tapped her head and stuck out her tongue cutely.

"Stop testing me."

Rhode glared at Meili and said coldly, “Since they can turn dreams into reality, then no matter how faint and imperceptible, there must be a connection between reality and fiction.

If it is the last nightmare on this planet, it should be possible for it to enter the unknown realm of dreams through this tiny gap."

After saying "hmm", Meili's expression became serious.

"Rod, I understand what you want to say.

You are planning to have me help you invade their dreams and wake them up from the inside.

No problem, but it is still too dangerous. I want to go with you."

It's a shame that Mary worried me for the rest of my life... But I should not be so stubborn and listen to the experts' advice.

Rhodes and Mary decided to reversely invade the Mirror Clan's dreams.

As expected of a great magician who was a candidate for the title of Grand Champion, Mary easily entered everyone’s dreams without spending much effort.

This was the first time for Rhode to enter another person's dream. The boy held the female magician's hand tightly and looked around curiously.

This is a vast expanse of pure white space.

Countless mirrors are spread out in all directions, up and down, left and right, and the refraction of light forms a small world of kaleidoscope.

It is both infinite and empty, which is very consistent with the Mirror Clan's empty hearts.

"Where are they?"

Rhode asked, "Why didn't I see any goblins?"

"Because they haven't realized our invasion yet."

Meili explained that cognition in dreams is mutual, and she temporarily concealed her own existence until she was ready.

“While we are not discovered by the dream master yet, I can tamper with the structure of this dream.

To put it simply, within a limited scope, I can let them dream anything."

"Um……?"

"When it comes to waking a creature from a dream, it usually requires a strong stimulus."

Meili glanced at the boy beside her and asked, "Have you decided how to wake up those children?"

Rhodes nodded: "Of course."

Seeing his confident expression, Mary was also moved and smiled happily.

"Then I'll leave it to you."

"how should I do?"

"…Just imagine the dream you desire in your mind."

Oh. Rod followed her instructions and closed his eyes.

"Okay, let me see it for myself."

The female magician said this and closed her eyes, transferring control of the dream to the young man.
