Ihoujin, Dungeon ni Moguru

<Chapter 5: Homecoming>

In the darkness.

Are your eyes open or closed?

Have you woke up from a dream or are you still in a dream?

No, what is a dream?

“……………”

Gather your melting consciousness and shape yourself. When conscious, the senses of the limbs returned from the darkness. Then breathing. Next is the direction of gravity.

I was lying on a cold cobblestone.

As my eyes gradually got used, I could see the bells lined up. Lothian underground, catacombs.

After a few moments of surprise, she hunts for Maria's whereabouts as she remembers.

"Relief"

I was right there.

Sleeping holding my hand. For some reason, he was hugging Agathion.

[Soya member. Please help me if I get up. The aircraft may be damaged if left as is. Oh, great power "

"I want to see the contents, open it. Is there a dwarf?"

"Stop it. I will stop it. "

Yukikaze and someone's voice.

An elf girl was sitting on the stone statue of Duke Seirin. She is playing with a miniature pot of snow breeze.

"I'm sorry, please return cantera. It's important."

I try to stop, but my body is numb and I can't get up. It's all I can do to raise my upper body.

"What, what happened?"

A girl looks down on me with eyes that look like trash.

A blonde that shines in the dark. Long ears peeking from Short Bob. It looks like a doll and its skin is white like snow. A well-dressed dress with a warm fur cloak on top.

It looks like a young lady in a good place, but she is an adventurer because she has a sword.

It looks like an elf. Elf like a beautiful elf. But for some reason, I feel strange. That ... A sword? If you look closely, the sword you saw somewhere. The sword that the bald had, or was stolen.

"Maybe it's Shirin?"

"Yes, you are unexpectedly sharp."

If you have a unique weapon, you'll be foolish.

"Don't be told that the barrier is broken. If you hurry to the north, there's nothing wrong. In that case, you hear that you've headed to Lothian.

The elf-shaped white scale points to the Great Bell.

A large bell held by a dragon stone statue. I saw the same thing in Neomia. The Prince of Scales was real.

"This bell was a ritual bell to return the traveler's soul to his hometown."

was?

"Dr. Seirin made a distant adventurer sorrowfully. The desire of a person distorts the essence of things. After the death of Seorin, people began to ring the bell as the entrance to the dreamland. To think of the Lothian of the day, to think of a deceased family, to think of a hometown that can't return, it's a thought of a helpless and sad person. ''

"Eh ... then what about Neomia where I was?"

"It's someone's dream"

Is that all a dream?

"No, please wait!"

I notice my appearance. A dragon-blooded cloak with the best, metal fittings on the top hat. Neomia's adventure outfit. The pocket contained the fangs of the demon beast.

In addition, there is a candlestick promised beside the rolled sword.

"I got this costume from Neomia. There are two other things. No, three. There are many explanations, such as taking out the dream thing."

"It's easy. There's a dream in this world that has will and willingness to speak. One part of it can be a costume or something."

"A dream to exchange words"

No way,

"You are worshiped with God. Even if you put your wishes, thoughts, religions, admirations, doctrines, stories, and words in a row, the essence is only a human dream. And because it is a dream, there are nightmares. For example, maybe a beast man who broke one of your wings. "

"by the way"

Look around with cold sweat. There is no bar full figure …………………………….

Stroke down my chest. Isn't there something like a horror movie?

"Dr. Shirane. My dream was Barful, who's a nightmare?"

I still can't swallow the situation.

The smell of blood is too much for everything to be a dream. Fight against the snowy fields, white wolves, snowy castles, vampires, goddess of bad months, curse of Laukan, and demon beasts.

The last appearance of the king.

"Such a person. It will be decided."

Duke Shirane strokes the stone statue of Duke Arin.

Dragon dream?

Is that the dream of Prince Seiren?

The knight who killed his family would be a nightmare from a dragon perspective. But why did you create Neomia? Vampires and end guards? Where is the real blue scale? The brain thinks about another thing and turns a sudden idea into words to become the extreme of confusion and escape from reality.

"Is that stone statue really a stone statue?"

"Huh ... how about?"

Shirorin smiles with a surprisingly carefree smile.

A smile from a look down, a stunning surprise. I knew it but knew it.

Another question is asked.

"Um, the real neomia?"

"If you want to see it, see it with your own eyes, adventurer."

"I agree"

Is it an adventurer's job to search for such unknowns?

Why am I an adventurer?

"I'll tell you only this. In Neomia, there were warriors called Endguards. There were vampires they sealed. There was a beautiful girl married from Lothian. The body, the long winter he called in, the sins that touched on contraindications due to human weakness.

Some bravely scattered warriors against Elysium's army.

A white wolf.

Finally, everything was in his land, even if everything was buried in the snow. Even a dream is not a vision. There were people's thoughts and history. It's not a place where delusions are approaching, even if they have disappeared into oblivion. Even so, you don't want to turn sad. Human thoughts are things that disappear like fire, but there is beauty like a blooming flower. Beautiful things are qualified to be loved. ''

Duke Shiranes throws the snow breeze and comes over.

I took it and hung it on my waist.

"I don't know the delicate truth to anybody. But the body is the thing that returns to the earth. The soul is the thing that returns to my hometown. There is no difference between a person, a dragon, and you. Is there a house to return to? Only the dead live in the darkness. '

"I have a home to return to."

Those who are waiting.

The man born of a nightmare couldn't return, but I can.

"Hmmmm ~"

Maria woke up.

But if I'm still sleepy, I hug me and try to sleep twice.

"Get up. I'll go back."

"I have a strange dream"

"Hmm?"

"My dream is that my concubine becomes Vine Vine and helps Sawyer."

"It's a good dream."

Is that your ideal?

When I rub my back, the warmth leaves me.

"Nuu!"

Maria stretched out. I look again at her magic sword.

This time, some parts of the sword were missing, probably because of overuse. The sword and sword of Zamongrass will be in the same state. Maintenance is required.

The essence of the tool is that it is used by the owner. That's it, just that. Even if you know, it's a Japanese religion that thinks that tools have souls, have emotions, and give you a favor.

Everything was a dream, but there was an intention to be involved.

Then, was she a dream that I created or a delusion? Seeking lost things is a human feeling. Even if it becomes a beast, it does not change.

Well, there is no difference between humans and beasts.

"Soya. Who is this guy?"

Maria points to Prince Shirane.

"Hey, don't point at people."

"You, it's a gaki on Konata's head."

After all I have it at the root.

"?"

Maria floated a question mark, not what she knew.

Divert the story because he sensed the danger.

"Prince Shirane. The sword on the hip is the opposite. The one with the blade is up."

"Nuh? But I guess it won't come off immediately."

Reed bites.

Now that my numbness has come, I stand up and insert my sword into my waist. The blade should be turned up properly.

"If you do not raise the warp, the blade will hurt. The sword is handled with both hands. Return the sheath at the moment you pull it out."

Hold the sheath mouth with your left hand. The right hand is a sword handle. Keep breathing thin and stop slowly. From weakness …………… It explodes.

At the moment of the sword, the sword was turned back and adjusted.

A clear flash from silence.

The illusion that the space shifts with the lines created by the blade. After releasing the slash, return the blade and slide the ridge to the base of the thumb, and gently put it in the sheath.

Even if you sound your carp, you will not forget your soul.

The things I got at Neomia are not just costumes, fangs and candlesticks. Experience gained from death combat. A skill that is sharpened with blood. It is a work that cannot be obtained unless you go through the dead line.

"It's like this"

"Oh, okay. That much to you too ...

At a dash, Shirane was caught trying to pull out his sword, with insufficient arm growth.

A sword, or something that is unfamiliar with swords, is a good thing.

"Poo"

Maria laughed.

"Gaki, you!"

The white scale that turns white skin red and gets angry. I've been thinking for a while, but it's a little sensitivity.

Prince Shirane chases Maria by swinging her sword. Smiling but scary!

"what is this"

"Really. What?"

Hit the father who appeared.

"Oh, yes, it was a place to forget."

My father beat my cheeks with a silver stake.

cold. What this.

"Hot? Pain?"

"Nothing apart from this"

"It doesn't seem to be infected. I'm relieved. Did you kill the source of the vampire? ... Where is Berful?"

"Ah"

Hesitation is short.

What you do is the same as usual.

"I've had a conflict with the vampire king. It was a great end."

This is my best irony.

"Yes, it must have been a brave battle."

"Yes, it was so persistent that it was hard to come back many times."

"... Is it okay, are you tired?"

"I'm tired, but it's about one more race. Can you hear one dad?"

"What?"

Maria had been caught by Prince Shirane and had her cheek punipuni.

Good blood did not flow.

"A vampire whose Knights were destroyed. Did you check that?"

"It's unraveling. The corpse buried near the garrison was destroyed by beast claws and fangs. This is probably a vampire object. They were buried. These are casualties from swords and spears. "

"Are they both dead bodies of the Elysian knight?"

"No doubt, there was no remnant in the distant corpse, but it's obvious at a glance how to train."

"... Thank you. I'm sorry, I'm going back a step."

"Good but what happened?"

"No, you can do a little bit of work. Maria!"

When called, she slips through the arm of Prince Shirane and comes to me.

"What's wrong? Are you going home?"

"Oh, let's go back to Lemuria, but just ask for a detour."

I have to put it before dropping.
