"Sonia, I'm having some weird dreams. ”

"What about it?" asked Sonia as she threw strange crumbs and powder into the cauldron. The dark green viscous liquid reacted violently, bubbles and a mist of steaming like magma.

"It's like a witch's cauldron. Griffith said.

"I'm a witch. Sonia took out the test tubes labeled bat saliva, crocodile tears, and tree frog snot from the test tube rack next to her, poured them into the boiling cauldron, and then scooped out a strange liquid and poured it into the teacup that had been prepared, holding it in the palm of her hand and looking left and right.

"I've entered a strange world, and when I went to bed last night," Griffith, looking at the weird and disgusting liquid, thought that last night's dream was not so strange, "you don't want to drink this thing!"

"Uh-huh~" Sonia picked up the teacup and began to drink tea desperately.

"What are you doing......

"Tea, tea divination," the girl rolled her eyes as she drank, "no, no, I really can't drink it." ”

"I'll help you?"

"Yes!" Sonia immediately pushed the teacup over, covered her mouth and thought for a while, as if there was something wrong, but she couldn't tell.

Griffith took a slight sip of the strange liquid. The strange taste and texture is simply the vomit of the mountain monster.

"Drink it all, leave the tea residues!" Sonia admonished.

Griffith could only pinch his nose and drink the tea. Sonia began divination with the remaining tea residues.

"This divination can predict the fortune of the near future, I forgot that I had a class that was going to be examined at the beginning of the semester, and I didn't prepare at all," she read the divination very seriously while flipping through the book, "Judging from the results, I have no problem even if I don't review this exam." Well, I'm not going to review anymore. ”

"Is that okay?"

"That's what the book says!" the girl pushed the divination textbook over, "a scattered and congregated reading of traces. Seemingly unrelated clues will meet just right, suggesting that the final result will be the opposite of what appears on the surface, and the soothsayer will eventually have a happy ending after experiencing confusion and anxiety.

"That means I don't have to worry about exams!"

That's it, you don't review it?

Griffith was taken aback and flipped through the book to find a small line on the footnote about tea divination: "Divination can indicate the future of the drinker." ”

Forget it, Sonia is the first in the grade, and she knows divination best.

Griffith closed the book and began to ask questions. He described the dream of the previous night and asked the girl to interpret it. He had wanted to ask Sonia for help in asking about Galadia and some information about Theseus, but things had to be done one by one.

"It's not a dream," Sonia said, "and you've entered a mysterious phenomenon called the 'Realm.'" Only a handful of powerful transcendents and magical items have such powerful abilities.

"Domains are creators' worlds with their own rules. Cracking the secrets and rules of the realm is equivalent to exploring the heart of the caster, which is a very efficient and convenient way to crack it.

"If you can't crack it, then you can only break it by brute force. In the process, they will be suppressed by the rules created by the caster, and they will be at a disadvantage. ”

I see. Griffith didn't seem to be dangerous to him in this dream-like realm, but he still asked, "What should I do to be careful?"

"Don't be careful, if it's a dangerous area that will release the corresponding psionic ripples, the school will already take action," Sonia looked relaxed and didn't know where to find a travelogue and a small cake, "Good luck." ”

That night, that strange realm swept him in again.

Griffith is once again in the same strange and dark mansion.

After completing the exploration of the first floor of the mansion, he made his way to the second floor. He tried to open or attack doors and windows to escape along the way, but to no avail. It's like some closed world, ready to devour the lost with darkness.

On the second floor, Griffith finds a strange room. Large and small dolls are piled up in the corners of the bedroom.

On a large bed, a comfortable sofa, a writing desk and a piano, delicate dolls stare ahead with empty eyes.

Griffith pinched the face of a doll. It let out a sudden weird laugh.

"Hahahahaha~!"

The endless laughter echoes in the darkness, as if it will never end, making people unusually irritated.

Griffith tapped his forehead, not knowing what to do......

When he looked up, he suddenly felt a strange gaze. On top of the high cupboard sits a particularly delicate doll in the style of a little girl.

The doll has sleek black hair in a shawl, a top hat, a pink dress, slender white feet hanging in the air, and big eyes staring at Griffith.

This doll is really realistic. Griffith walked over curiously, taking in the unusual doll. Since you are trapped in this strange world, you have to follow the rules of the occult to find clues in this strange world.

Suddenly, the doll's big eyes blinked, as if they had come to life. Frightened, Griffith took a half-step back, rubbing his eyes and thinking he was hallucinating.

"Can't you stop it? The little girl opened her mouth to speak, "Pinch its left ear." ”

Griffith hurriedly turned around and closed the smirking doll, turning his head to look at the doll on top of the cupboard again.

"I don't like these things at all, can I send them again?" said the little girl doll again, "I want to read the book, is the update of the Roland Knight, is Audrey's mother also a witch?

Griffith looked at the girl doll in confusion. The more I looked at him, the more familiar it became...... Suddenly, he seemed to realize something.

Suddenly, the environment begins to shift, and the room full of dolls begins to blur. Gradually, Griffith found himself surrounded by many mirrors.

Fitting mirrors of all sizes were piled up in a mess, and there were a number of clothes littered on the floor. Griffith picked it up and examined it, and found that it was the dress of a noble girl attending a banquet. He carefully smeared through the layers of fitting mirrors and found that outside the window of the room there was a large terrace, and on the wide armrest, a girl with long flowing hair was sitting.

The girl had waist-length black hair, wore only a white men's shirt, and her long, straight, white legs were unabashed. She has long, pointy ears and carries a thick baseball bat in her hand.

Her face was so familiar.

"Said let me stay alone, @%*!" the girl shouted without looking back, although she didn't understand what her last sentence meant, but it felt like a dirty word from the tone.

"Galadia?" Griffith shouted in surprise.

"Huh, is the old lady's name also your name?, look down on me, bastard!?" the girl jumped down from the handrail, picked up a thick bat standing on the side of the handrail, and slapped it violently.

"Who are you, you, human, how did you get in?"

The girl was younger than Glady, whom Griffith knew, only twelve or thirteen years old from a human point of view. She stood barefoot on the ground and bared her teeth at the Cadet Knight.

"It's a long story," Griffiths realized what was going on, but couldn't do anything about it, "I'm, well, I'm your future friend." ”

"Who's with your friends!" the girl swung her bat in a lightning flash. Griffith, who was already in Sequence 8, was knocked over by a stick before he even had time to raise his hand, and his eyes suddenly appeared with stars, and his stomach felt like vomiting.

The girl with a heavy hand put the bat on the ground and knocked the floor twice: "Do you know it's amazing? No one is allowed to come in without permission." ”

What's going on...... How could she have such strength at her age? I don't remember how strong she was! Griffith, who was dizzy from the beating, struggled to get up, but after several attempts, finally lay down like a salted fish.

"You, you don't matter, right?" the girl's face suddenly flashed with a trace of guilt, and she bit her lip hard, "I'm very strong, so don't bother me with you weakling." ”

"I'm sorry, I showed up here without permission," Griffith lay on the ground gasping for breath, and finally struggled to sit up, "Do you know how I can get out?"

"I don't know, go upstairs and ask!" the girl raised her bat and pointed to the room on the third floor.

Griffith stood up and patted his clothes: "Then I'll take my leave, I'll see you later." ”

"Who's going to see you back!" the girl sat back on the armrest, clasped her long smooth legs in both hands, rested her head on her knees and looked at the back of the midshipman who was about to walk out of the terrace, and asked, "Are you really my future friend?"

Griffith stopped and turned to look at the girl.

The girl tilted her head, the silver moonlight sprinkled on her long silky hair, and there was a strange look in her eyes.

"Yes, together we saved a village attacked by goblins on the Eastern Continent, and from there it was a short trip to Bayeran," Griffith laughed, "We passed through many towns along the way, and you always complained that the dinner I made was not delicious, but you couldn't stop eating. There were a few pieces of cocoa shortbread hidden and refused to give them to me. ”

"It doesn't sound like a happy experience~ You stupid, what's the use of a human who can't cook well?" The corners of the girl's mouth curled up in a graceful arc, she hurriedly turned her head and looked at the endless forest outside, "You go quickly, there is not much time." ”

......

The third floor was in order, and Griffith saw a much more elaborate furnishings. Each room is filled with books, clothes, and magical items. Regardless of the specifications or styles, it is a rare boutique, and even a quick glance can make people enjoy it incomparably.

Walking through the silent living room, Griffith walked into a bedroom filled with the smell of sweetness. On the large bed, a girl in a soft nightdress was lying on her side.

This was what Griffith was familiar with as Galadia looked, at least on the outside. Her long bare legs rubbed gently, and her soft waist and hips outlined a mesmerizing arc.

When Griffith walked in, Galadia woke up. She slowly opened her eyes, her slender eyelashes trembled slightly, her eyes seemed to contain a wave of autumn water, and her red cherry lips opened lightly, looking at the trainee knight in front of her like a refusal.

"Excuse me, say goodbye, stay. ”

Griffith bowed, turned and exited the room without looking back, closing the door before the beauty on the bed could speak.

"What's so scared?" a contemptuous voice suddenly came from behind him, "what your lowly instincts fantasize about is right in front of you. ”

Sidious appeared behind him.

Griffith didn't answer immediately, but looked left and right at his surroundings, and then said calmly: "The last scene is not quite accurate, is it an illusion of your subjective emotions?"

"What are you talking about?" asked Sidious.

"I'm not an expert on this, but I've been able to guess after these scenes that this is the realm of memories of Galadia, or illusions," Griffith said, "but not Galadia's memories, and the vision of all of this is clearly from someone else's. ”

Sidious's face changed slightly.

"I guess the sights are from different stages of her age, and only the relatives who live with her can have this perspective," Griffith chuckled softly, "Interestingly, the people who left these memories seemed to be frightened at the time, well, and probably the painful memories of being bullied. This is also the common denominator of each scene - although each has its own weirdness, it is just a fragment of a little girl's life after all.

"The scene on the second floor was very impressive, and it was likely that she was in the state before she started her adventure and got to know me. She was grumpy and a little weird, but I could feel it was still her. ”

Sidious was a little annoyed, and shouted without grace, "What do you know? ”

"Maybe I don't understand anything, but at least I won't tamper with my memories because of my concern," Griffith grinned, "The last scene is the worry of my father or brother, and it just so happens that I have a younger sister." Although I haven't seen each other for a few years, I understand that I am worried that she will indulge and hurt her feelings, but there is no need to add fuel and vinegar. Galadia is not such a person.

"Is that so?" Julius Sidious Villanoy, the elder brother of Galadia?"

The air became quiet.

Sidious sighed, shook his head, and asked, "How do you know?" I was very serious about giving them a hint to Galadia and Miss Lamour, asking them not to tell anyone who I am. ”

It's very simple~ If I hadn't been stunned at the beginning and didn't think of it, I should have found it a long time ago.

Griffith raised his hand and lightly pressed the button on the collar: "One hand is enough to unbutton the girl's clothes, and you can only use both hands to help her button it." This is something that only a father or an elder brother would do, and Your Excellency will not be the consul of Canaan, will you?"

Sidious thought for a moment, then waved his hand. The clear mansion vanished in an instant, leaving only the two of them standing in Sidious's office.

"Go back," said the son of the Consul of Canaan, "and you've passed this time." If you dare to do something to Galadia, I will make you taste a hundred times more miserable than those fools who did not pass, and you will regret living in the world. ”

"Those...... What did they do?" Griffith asked hurriedly. He did meet some of his classmates in the hallucination.

"They're all idiots who covet my sister's beauty or status, and they don't have any brains in their heads," Sidious knocked on the table, "in a vain attempt to waste Galadia's time on a bad date, giving inexplicable gifts, and suddenly popping out of a dark corner when she's alone, #¥%% (Elfish, definitely a dirty word)." ”

A breeze swept Griffith up and gently pushed him out of the office, presumably Sidious's eviction order.

Griffith, who had been ejected from the office, smiled awkwardly. At the same time, he noticed a small pendant on the table beside Sidious that was shining with a strange light. The moment his eyes touched, Griffith's mind suddenly had some wonderful occult knowledge in mind.

"Seal: A pendant thrown by my sister and smashed to the head

"Hazard Registration: General (No danger if you're bold)

"Description: This is a brother's memory of his sister.

"Notes: Don't be scared in front of your brother. ”

......

The next morning, Sonia opened the exam paper in a brisk mood, and the quill swirled around her fingertips. With the help of divination, she was not worried at all, she did not review at all, and she played with Fiona until late last night before going to bed.

Soon, her smile froze.
