When Demon Child Become Human
␑| In Dream IV

"Hello, it's good to see you again" Rei said languidly as I stood beside him.

His eyes were fixed on the sea ahead.

Indeed, the glitter of water is so stunning, refracting the figure of the moon and sun that are now side by side. The orange spray in the sky is clearly depicted on each wave of calm waves of the waves. The wind felt like stroking hair.

I finally decided to sit next to him.

"It looks like you haven't found a way out of here yet."

I was silent at Rei's words.

I can actually get up again, but not of my own free will.

So, you could say I still have not found a way to be free from dreams in my own way.

I thought after yesterday, she woke up. It turned out to be just me, forcefully drawn to what they called special powers.

I asked, "Do you remember what happened?"

Rei turned to me. "Hey? I recall. After we split up to find a way out, I saw a strange large statue. His eyes kept following me and I suddenly fainted. When I woke up, I was here."

She can't remember holding a red pendant and standing under a lush crooked tree, wailing with Mei's shadow.

It seemed like this girl's memory was distorted due to being trapped in her own nightmare.

I felt my sleeve being pulled. My reflexes turned my head and Rei had looked at me deeply.

"Are you here because you have regrets?"

My eyes were wide open, I was surprised.

Why did he suddenly ask this?

No, he meant, did he realize we were in a dream world? But as to the question, I cannot answer.

More precisely not able to.

I decided to go back and ask, "What about you?"

Rei immediately threw away his face and pursed his lips. It was pretty funny, like a kid.

"cheat! I asked first!"

I only laughed awkwardly at that, but the girl's expression turned sad instantly. His gaze was empty looking at the sea foam.

"My brother keeps protecting me. We have been together since we first opened our eyes. We do not understand anything when we are chosen to be servants of sacrifice. We don't understand separation, injury or death. I never forget when my sister always comes forward and wants to replace me as an offering. Sillier. I was his older brother even though I was a few minutes older. Even Dad did nothing when my life was in danger. This time I'll protect Mei, whatever the stakes!"

Rei immediately stood up and clenched his right hand, there seemed to be embers in both of his eyes.

"I'm gonna find Mei again and find a way out of here!"

Instantly he ran.

Rushing I wake up and trying to chase-missing?

I'm pretty sure he passed this row of tables, headed back to the beach and up the stairs on the main road.

Now I was already at the top of the main street stairs, but Rei was nowhere.

Is that as fast as ...?

Probably illusions. I don't know why I'm a little unsure about everything that's going on here.

Moreover, what I remembered was different to what Rei remembered as if we went through two different events.

I shrugged both shoulders. How else would you like? It's a dream world.

I better start looking for other clues.

While browsing around; right after passing through the highway, I found a place like ... village? Then I entered it through a slightly secluded road.

I also witnessed between one house with another house quite tenuous. The construction of houses in this village looks simple with wood material.

For a world that has advanced with technology, this place really feels strong uphold tradition.

I exhaled. After looking everywhere never found any awkwardness or other objects.

Finally I decided to walk even deeper into the village, who knows if I could find an offering altar said Rei would be sacrificed-waiting, yes, right!

It was likely that Rei was the victim of the Festival of Offerings and this was the village the bishop was referring to!

Soon I ran down this village.

However, as far as the search was concerned, there was no altar or anything else conspicuous. Even this village is very quiet.

At the end of the village after the ranks of the house were exhausted, I saw a hill. Hill ... with a large crooked tree has many trunks. Exactly like a tree as the twins stood together where Rei found the red pendant!

Without taking any time I made my way up the hill.

Arriving at the top, I stood under this unique tree.

The view from here is beautiful. The forest is clearly spreading below. Moreover, the orange sky further beautifies the atmosphere in the star that accompanies the moon and the sun shyly appears behind the clouds.

I saw a shooting star. Once. Only once, but again felt a more intense pressure than usual.

"Ack!"

Strangled, I could neither breathe nor speak. Can only groan and endure extreme pain by clenching the shirt on the chest when gray again dominates vision.

I was not strong enough to keep standing, my body collapsed.

However, a faint sound was heard ....

"Whoaah! I'll make a wish! I hope my brother and I will always be happy! No-no, Dad too! And the village chief's uncle! And--"

"Hey, that's enough!"

"But I want everyone to be happy ...."

"Okay, maybe it's also our duty as servants of sacrifice."

It was hard for me to look at the origin of the sound despite the head shaking from the pain. I recognize these two girls, Rei and Mei.

Then the figure of the old man came near them and the father was also not a stranger.

The one who tortured Rei when I first found him in the forest.

He said, "So you know you're going to be sacrificed."

"Dad ...," shocked the two of them who stunned me.

Is that really their father?

"You must serve the festival, do not act as you please! The ritual cannot fail! Let me help you guys."

Suddenly the father turned into a shadow and at that moment I regained control of my body. Two huge red claws came out from his body and almost slashed me if not evasive immediately.

Akhs! Painful, I still feel tight!

With a stagger I kept dodging.

I slightly coughed my breath, then stroked my chest and prepared the Heart Core. A black crystal appeared that was protected with two black rings spinning nonstop.

He came back wanting to attack, but soon I threw Floating Hourglass.

"Phase Bomb!"

Bam!

My gun exploded so much about it. Honey, that thing wasn't hurt in the least. Just got hit back.

I stroked my front neck and thought about how to defeat it.

"You! I'll help you!"

Suddenly there was a scream-Rei sound!

He ran up to me. The girl immediately clasped both hands and instantly my body glowed golden.

The black monster again swung an attack. My reflexes dodged; dodged; jumped from one tree to another.

It feels like the body is much lighter and crowded after that just throw it away.

Good opportunity! Because I kept dodging quickly, the monster lost track of me.

Behind the trees I instantly spread out my hands as a black magic circle sprang up.

"Ice Lance!"

It worked! He was paralyzed because a pointy block of ice hit his body.

Without taking any time I soared from the top of the tree, setting one foot as a pedestal and I darted perfectly towards his head.

With enough height and speed, I lunged right at the crown until he fell.

Then I surged backwards, landing perfectly while watching the black creature scorch without a remnant.

Not too difficult, thanks to the help of Rei and fortunately the Heart Core can also be brought into the dream world.

However, when I approached Rei, he looked blankly deep into the forest.

"Is that you, Mei?"

Suddenly he ran. Quickly I followed so as not to lose track-ah, lost again.

Still walking, I continued to trace where Rei went.

In front, there were several rows of trees. Around the series of trees, the moon and the sun shine on the all-black girl.

From behind, the girl looked exactly like the vicar when she was young. Of May. I kept calling and approaching him.

However, he was still silent.

I also walked closer.

Close-up.

And his figure suddenly disappeared like ashes blown by the wind.

I snort. Illusion again.

But below is ... doll? It looks exactly like May.

When I took it, instantly a vision shaded like darkness filled my eyes.

Getting dark.

Darkened.

And I drowned in the darkness as the echoing sound filled my head.

'Rei, the ritual will be tomorrow. Are you scared?'

'May, you're part of a vast world out there.'
