Lesson 18: Dreaming is Free * 4

The landscape is dense with white and black marble altars, surrounded by old stone walls.

But now one side of the old wall is shattered.

"There's a book coming out of there."

Chengdu. Well then, let's break it down.

Princess Raju said that the teacher's autograph book came out of the collapsed wall here. Well, then, there's a good chance there's something else on this wall.

"Hey, Princess Raju, is it okay to break down this wall?" After all, this is an important land to be protected by the royal family. "

Meanwhile, Lila was worried.... no, I'm a little worried too. Yeah.

“Yeah, no problem. If there is any meaning here, it would be more meaningful to dig it up than to keep it there."

"Alright! If that's the case, then all the walls here will be covered!" Come out, Red Dragon! It's time to go! "

... as soon as Princess Raju gave her permission, Faye gladly cast out the Red Dragon, and the Red Dragon gladly waved its tail around...... The Dragon broke down the wall with a tremendous sound.

"... it's such a mess!"

"Fufufu, well, isn't it easier to do it so lavishly?" See, right? The Red Dragon also seems to be having fun. "

No, indeed, both Faye and the Red Dragon seem to be having a lot of fun, but... I wonder if that's a good idea, with such a messy way of breaking things!

"Come on, Togo. Why don't you have a cup of tea and wait?"

"I wonder if it's okay..."

Because Crore is completely immobile, I feel like this is fine, no, but is this okay...?

...... As it is, I decided to have a pleasant cup of tea with the honor of me, Laocles and Crore, and Lila, Lugulos and Princess Rage.

Crore poured the tea that he brought in a water bottle into a portable cup and had a little picnic. Everyone watched Faye and the Red Dragon as they ate the fairy cookies on the tea soup.

The way the Red Dragon's walls were broken down was more normal than before. Now I'm tapping on the wall with my nails, and I'm just breaking it down like a little chop chop chop chop.

"Faye! How are you?!"

"Wow! I feel like I'm scraping rocks on the wall!" I feel like I'm digging a cave! "

... and the wall that the Red Dragon is sharpening is still so thick that it won't show you the other side of the wall. "Wow..."

"... hey, Princess Raj. I wonder what's on the other side of this wall."

"Um... well, wild mountains." Outside of this building itself, there should be a..... "

Then why don't you just break it from the outside?

So if the building itself collapses, it might be a bit of a problem.

"Ah, I see... well, let's go." I'll leave it to Master Fei and the Red Dragon..... "

Well, yeah. Red Dragon, that sounds like fun. "I'll leave the excavation of the wall to them..."

And the walls were falling apart.

"Whoa! Something's coming out!"

I heard Faye's voice, so I hurried over to you.... and then...

"Here, this looks like it was buried in the wall."

Before Faye pointed out, there was a chunky hole in the walls scattered with debris.... really, it was like digging a cave on a wall.

I looked into the cavity, and there was... a square stone at the end of the cavity. "No, the stone box...?"

It is about 2m long, about 60cm wide, and about 50cm high. A box of stones like that. It sits in the hollow. And a few sheets of paper fell on top of the box...

The paper had a distinctive feature of what it was in the distance.

"... it's a newspaper."

Newspaper. Obviously. I wonder if it's the side of the newspaper that falls to the top. Large headline characters and color printed photographs are scattered.

... as soon as I saw the newspaper, I felt a chill. I wonder if I shouldn't read it, or if that's what it feels like.

"Turtle? Hey, hey. Are you okay?"

Huh?

When I look at the newspaper from a distance, my shoulders are suddenly shaken and I am surprised. When I looked to the side, Lila looked at me worriedly.

"Something's suddenly motionless, your mind is not here anymore..."

"Ah, yeah... it's okay"

Sure, I wasn't here, but, well, I'm fine. I'm fine because you called me back.

Again, if you look at the newspaper for a moment, I don't think you should read it. I had no choice but to take a step closer.... there's nothing I can do about it.

"Wait, I'll check first."

When I tried to step out of the second step, enduring fear of unknown origin, Laocles stopped me. And then... Lao Cres walks up to the newspaper on the box, bows down and begins to read the newspaper.

... but...

"...... I wonder if it's a character from another world." I can't read it. "

Well, I guess so. Yeah, that's right. I can't ask you to read it instead.

"Um... well, I just want you to tell me what's in the picture."

But I wanted you to help me prepare my mind, so I asked.

"...... was that an elaborate copy of a painting?"

"Yeah. That's right."

Lao Cres followed my request and dropped his gaze on the newspaper again... leaning his neck, he looked at it and said.

"... I think it's a tool from another world, but I can only tell that it depicts something I don't quite understand. I'm sorry."

"Stroke..."

Well, that's right. "Yeah, I guess so..."

... I can't help it. Let's not do any more bad things.

I go one step closer to the stone box and the newspaper. [M] One more step. One more step.

Every step you take, you get more and more frightened. I don't know why I'm scared, but I'm extra scared.

I don't know, but I think I do. I'm sure I know what this is.

...... forced herself to stand beside Lao Cres. In addition, everyone else came and gathered around the stone box... no, like they surrounded me.

Everyone is watching me. Faye's hand clenched my hand, and Lila the other. I feel somewhat embarrassed, but that's not the point, so thank you for letting me calm down a little based on the temperature I touch...

Read more.

I read newspaper articles. [M]

"2 Indiscriminate Killings, 8 Critical Injuries."

... next to the big headline of the article, there is a photo that seems to have been taken from above.

Intersection in front of the station.

Spread out blue sheet.

The red lamp light in the ambulance.

People watching from afar.

A heavily damaged automobile.

Bloodstains.

... a faint sense of discomfort caught in my memory and a fear far outweighing it come together.

Fear certainly froze me, but a slight discomfort moved my eyes. In an attempt to find out what you don't know, you read a small letter in a newspaper article.

Dates. Locations. There's information about those first in line, and... there's details about the incident.

... that there was a person arrested as a current offender on suspicion of attempted murder. The person plunged into the line of people waiting for the traffic light at the intersection in front of the station by the car, and then moved the car further to attack the people. When the victim dies, the suspect is switched to murder and the investigation proceeds further...

... I wonder what this is. I don't think I know anything about this. I don't think there is such an incident in the first place. Even though I don't think so... my mind will be convinced first.

This is what really happened.

I mean, I was in this place.

Probably so, thinking somewhere far away, I open the box under the newspaper to be pushed away by the fluffy reality.

Place your hand on the lid of the large box and lift it up. It was a little difficult for me alone, but Laocres helped me go around the other side... and the box opened.

"Mr...."

There was a teacher in the box.

After all, this box was a coffin.

And as soon as I saw the teacher in the coffin.

My head switched as if I had turned it off, and I remembered everything.
