"The ghost tribe...?

This case, that the strongest species are involved?

I mean, I don't know about ghosts...

So is Rifa, but lately, that's a lot of edge.

"Can you let me know more?

"Yes, of course. Although, I don't know many of them either..."

To sum up the story of Illis, here's the deal.

The culprit in this case is a ghost tribe named Alpha.

Sounds like a pretty special kind of dream ghost.

The ability a dreamer possesses is to manipulate dreams freely.

Happy dreams and nightmares, I suppose.

It may sound like plain ability, but in fact, they say it's a pretty powerful thing.

For example, I keep having nightmares.

Dreams are deeply related to the mind, so if you do that, it will have a serious impact.

It's not an easy story about being mentally involved.

It's like the mind being attacked directly, so it can also become obsolete.

Worst of all, sometimes the spirit is destroyed and death.

Physical combat power is low...

Other superior abilities are dreamers.

A woman named Alpha, such a dreamer, caused this incident.

Use your abilities to draw people living in Cagne, or travelers you visit, into a false reality that you think makes them happy.

Those who are taken in by a false world cannot understand that that is where it was made.

Sweet acceptance of happiness in front of you becomes a top priority, and other things become unthinkable.

"… and that's why"

"I can't believe that's happening..."

Seems like he was caught up in something hell while he didn't notice.

But what is the purpose of that ghost tribe called Alpha?

Take the Cagne people into your dreams, and restrain them, though the words are bad.

What purpose and do you do that?

Ask Iris about it and he'll be so baffled.

"I don't know... it's very hard to believe, so I doubt the other way around... from what I've heard, she wants to make people happy"

"Happily? That's... what?

"You're right. Alpha wants to make people happy, and they're using their abilities to do so, causing this kind of thing. If you believe her words, there is no malice there, and there is pure goodness. When dreaming makes you happier, Alpha really thinks so and uses her abilities."

Listening to Iris makes me confused as well.

What underlies this case, he says, is good intentions, not malice.

I've been involved in all sorts of cases before, but I've never seen a guy move in good faith.

Is it true? I suspect so.

But...

It's not harmful, is it?

So far, I'm just being dreamed of.

And it's not a nightmare, it's a happy dream for him.

I can't feel the malice of someone named Alpha.

"How could someone named Alpha do that?

"That's... honestly, I'm not sure. Because I didn't tell her that deep either."

"Where's Alpha now?

"I don't know that either. When the plan started moving, he disappeared somewhere. With my ability to detect, I can't find it."

"Hmm."

The enemy's purpose and motive are mysterious.

How can I deal with this?

How do I act?

I get a little lost.

"Speaking of which, how does Illis know about Alpha? Sounds familiar..."

"Uh..."

Iris turned out to be like a gibberish.

Looks like a kid found a prank.

Swim your gaze fluttering to the right and left.

Slightly, I turned this way.

And... hey, open your mouth as you do your tongue.

"As a matter of fact, I have cooperated with Mr. Alpha."

"... Yes?

"I needed a little help and I was on my way to this cagne... where Mr. Alpha called me. Mr. Alpha was looking for someone with strong powers to carry out the plan. There..."

"Have you offered to cooperate with Illis, the Heavenly Nation?

"Yes, you're right."

"So, did Iris respond?

"... you're right."

Iris' eyes started swimming again.

He has a consciousness that he did something wrong.

"How could you do that..."

"There was a lot going on, and I was in trouble too... if I helped Mr. Alpha, wouldn't that solve the problem? I thought so. Well, the problem never solved, and on the contrary, I got caught in a dream, too."

Iris looked bitter and smashed his tongue into small pieces.

I guess you think it's humiliating to be trapped in a dream.

"Was Illis also trapped in a dream"

"Yes, but I managed to get myself back. Mr. Alpha's dreams are gentle and comfortable. But that's never kindness."

"Right...... yeah. I know now."

My father and mother were alive and everyone seemed happy.

It may be, at first glance, a gentle happy world.

But it doesn't seem right.

Very distorted.

"Mr. Alpha is trying to make the unhappy one happy. Seeing from Alpha like that, it must be unfortunate for me and Rain."

"Maybe that's what it looks like... but it's up to me to decide that. I'm not going to leave that decision to anyone else, whether I'm happy or unhappy. I have to carry it myself."

"Yeah, you're right. Because of that thought, Laine was able to wake up."

"Thanks to Illis. If you hadn't spoken to me like this, I still think I'd be trapped in my dreams"

"Pfft, be modest. Rain, I think you'll wake up sooner or later, even if I don't speak up."

What do you think?

That's what Iris says, but I'm not sure about it.

That much, that world is comfortable.

"Well, that's about all I can tell you right now... what are you going to do, Rain? Do you accept Mr. Alpha's dreams?

"I don't think so"

As I said earlier, I don't think what Alpha is doing is right.

Happy dreams, just immerse yourself in a gentle world.

That looks right, but badly distorted.

I was so happy to see my father and mother again.

But if it were, you two wouldn't be here anymore.

We should never see each other again.

If you twist and bend such an obvious thing, there must be a recoil somewhere.

I may exaggerate, but something like the reason of the world could get messed up.

"Anyway, that doesn't start with a lot of research. And I want to talk to Alpha."

"I think it would be quicker if I knocked you down?

"That... depends on how they come out, but I don't want to if I can. For once, there seems to be no malice. If we can settle this in a discussion, you've never been over it, have you?

"Hmm. Laine, you're still sweet."

"It's..."

"But maybe that's why you're acting like Rayne."

Ilis laughs, feeling like she has no choice.

It was a little surprising.

Wouldn't they say a lot of things? I was prepared to...

Are you walking me over?

"So what do we do now?

"In the meantime, again, I want to see how everyone is doing"
