Heliona mumbled, and Nainiae nodded.
“Excuse me. What are you talking about? Could you two please explain to me too?”
Sera got tired of just checking what they were up to. She got right between Nainiae and Heliona and asked them to explain to her too in detail.
“Please explain it in a way that I can understand too.”
“Ah, I’m sorry.”
Nainiae realized she didn’t explain enough. She apologized and got to the main point right away.
“I found where the summon spirit who will help me is at. I found the place, but… I think the place is related to Young Master.”
“Related to Young Master?”
“Yes.”
Nainiae nodded and pointed at her right eye. She briefly explained the power of the right eye and looked at Riley who was lying on the bed.
“The problem is that the location is somewhere that cannot be seen with ordinary methods.”
Sera looked confused. Nainiae explained in a simpler way.
“It’s inside a dream.”
“In a dream?”
Sera tilted her head to the side. Heliona, who had been fiddling with her chin, also asked Nainiae as if she didn’t get it either.
<Nainiae, but how could the summon spirit that I met only a few months ago be in Young Master’s dream? What would be the reason? I really don’t understand this?>
“We should find that out from now on.”
<Are you going to enter?>
“Yes.”
<No, wait… Just wait a bit.>
Nainiae tightened her fist and relaxed it as she walked toward Riley. Heliona barely grabbed Nainiae and said as if she was trying to calm Nainiae down.
<Do you know what entering a dream is? It could lead to a serious problem! If it goes wrong, your illness may end up being the least of your problems, you get it?>
Sera was surprised after hearing what Heliona just said. Sera also grabbed Nainiae’s shoulder and shook her head out of concern.
“Wait, Nainiae. Are you intending to overexert yourself again?”
Nainiae looked at Heliona, who was pulling at her own hair, and Sera, who was pulling at Nainaie’s shoulder.
She then lightly bit her lips and struggled to say,
“Please let me go.”
<Nainiae…>
“Young Master is suffering. Despite having known that all along, I only stood behind and watched him. Let me make up for it.”
“Still…”
“Ms. Sera. If I don’t find that spirit, I won’t be able to cure my illness either. Of the things that Young Master told me, there is one that says it is better to receive punishment sooner than later. Now, I want to do what I can right now.”
Her voice was wet. However, her face looked determined and desperate at the same time.
“I don’t want to just sit back and watch anymore.”
“…”
Having seen the look on Nainiae’s face, Sera sighed big and retrieved the hand on Nainiae’s shoulder.
“… All right.”
<Sera?!>
Heliona flapped her wings big and started to cause a ruckus.
<You should be stopping her! What are you doing? Stop her!>
“No. Ms. Heliona, we cannot stop her.”
<Sera!>
Sera shook her head. Watching Sera, Heliona ballooned up her cheeks as if she was saying she just don’t understand humans. To stop Nainiae on her own, Heliona started to nag Nainiae with verbose lectures.
<Entering another person’s dream means losing your own consciousness. That place is intertwined and jumbled up like a maze. It is not even your dream. You are going to enter another person’s dream? That’s like trying to say you want to be on coma forever, like a vegetable! You get it?>
Nainiae nodded. Heliona looked at her as if she was questioning Nainiae’s sanity.
<If you lose your consciousness forever, my master might turn me into a guardian doll, have you thought about that? Do you want that?>
“I am prepared for that.”
<Are you fine with me getting scolded by the master?>
“My teacher is not that kind of person. He will understand.”
<You are thinking too highly of him!>
Heliona started to pull out her own hair. She looked at Sera, seeking help. However, it seemed Sera already had made up her mind as well. Sera only shook her head.
