Chapter 28: Train of dreams (Part 3)
1995 Words
A dragon-like demon and this white-haired demon girl. I don’t know what happened but this white-haired girl tried to do something to me earlier.
Using my status check. I find out that the white-haired girl is not that strong and the dragon demon is the only one with a high level of strength for combat.
This dragon-looking guy Modi is the only one who can battle, does that means the white-haired girl is the brain and this man is the brawl.
“Lightning magic: Lightning shock!”
I cast magic that can paralyze the body of the target. I paralyzed the body of the white-haired girl.
“I can’t move…”
She said and fell.
“Lightning magic-user, My skin is touch a lightning doesn’t affect me.”
“Thank you for the great advice.”
I said and charge toward him.
Modi throws a punch at me. I dodge it and use my sword to cut his arm.
Modi was then in disbelief after I cut his arm easily.
“What the?”
“I don’t really know what’s happening but demons like you need to be killed. I can’t let other people die and suffer, because of your demons.”
Modi then smile and grabbed a sleeping passenger as his hostage.
“Don’t move if you move I will kill this woman.”
I was stunned after seeing his next move.
I didn’t expect that he will use the passenger as a hostage. I overestimated them, I thought demons can fight in a fair square fight. But demons are demons, they can’t be trusted.
I didn’t really get this but this ability is supposed to decrease MP.
Does that mean with my presence alone these demons are currently losing their MP?
I once again use the status check to confirm it.
“They can’t use magic any longer. Looks like this night barrier is consuming both of your magic(MP).”
“What are you muttering little girl?! bring down you’re sword and raise your hand or else I will cut this woman’s head.”
In this situation, saving everyone’s life matters. If someone told me if I will kill one human to save everyone. I will gladly kill that one human.
If I do what he wants, I might end up dead and everyone on this train will be dead.
I can’t afford to do that.
But what is this feeling in my heart, saving everyone is suppose to be my priority.
I’m shaking, I can’t do anything. My head is telling me to kill the woman but I’m hesitating.
“Stay there!”
I put down my sword and raise my hands.
“You’re a good girl after all.”
The white-haired girl said and get my sword.
“Behave yourself then maybe were let you live.”
“Demon sure play things dirty.”
“It’s a compliment to us, demons are supposed to be evil creatures. The good demon didn’t exist in this world.”
Modi said and look toward the hostage woman in his hand.
“Released her now. I did what you wanted right? Release her now.”
I said.
Modi sharpens his claws and then ripped off the woman’s body. The inside part of the woman came falling and Modi started eating it like a snack.
He smiled as he enjoys eating the body parts of the woman.
He didn’t release the girl.
“Unforgivable!”
My magical power rises and intimidates the demons.
The girl behind me stabs me using my own sword from behind piercing my heart.
“We can’t let someone live after seeing us.”
The white-haired girl said.
“You…”
At that moment I started to lose hope.
I thought I’m going to die.
My feet suddenly glow in green colors and I feel like I sink into something. I don’t know what’s happening and I closed my eyes.
Upon opening my eyes, I saw myself sitting in the passenger seat and with a lunchbox in my lap.
This moment is the same moment I did earlier.
I then checked the time on my phone.
“9:30 AM… Does that mean I travel back in time? How is that possible? I don’t have time magic.”
The system, how many skill points are required to obtain time magic?
[Unavailable, time magic is only acquired after having the title of temporal machine god.]
I heard the machine-like voice and explain it to me.
I am sure that I don’t have that title.
I don’t really know how this happened and maybe it’s not my magic that makes my time leap to the past. I don’t want to assume that it’s me causing this event.
Still, this is a chance. I can now stop those demons from invading this train and save them all.
I look around and saw the woman that will become a hostage in the future.
She looks so sweet and happy. I don’t want to waste that smile of hers.
I stood up and walked inside the train searching for the cause of us for falling asleep.
Think Mayu! Think! What is the clue in the timeline? The white-haired girl touching my head, people asleep and the girl with the essence in her hand.
Essence… I feel like I really scent something before getting dizzy.
“That girl laying on the floor is the only one that seems to be odd. Everyone is sitting in their sits at that time except for her.”
I need to find her.
I then bump into a girl and as I took a glance at her face.
“It’s you.”
I then look into her eyes. Her eyes are currently in fear and terror. She is shaking while holding the essence in her hand.
“This girl? Are you the one who's making people fall asleep?”
I asked directly.
She immediately shakes her head left and right and stood up. She tries to run away making her more suspicious.
I grabbed her hand and pull her with all my strength.
“I’m an adventurer, if you’re planning on something no good then stop it right now.”
“You didn’t understand it, I want to see my fiance again. I want to see him. Even in my dreams, I wanted to be with him.”
In the way she talks, the demon seems to have an ability to give people dreams.
Does that mean that dream of me dating Retto is given by that demon?
It makes me angry.
Just remember me and Retto kissing makes me feel a bit sick.
Honestly, I don’t understand my feeling for him anymore. But still, those dreams are not that bad I think…
This girl is under a demon contract, she’s not really at fault here.
Then released her arm and punch her to her guts to make her fall asleep.
She whited out and fell.
Sorry, I just need to do this. I will treat you to a drink later.
“What are you doing little girl?”
Asked, the train attendant.
“She said she feel sick, she suddenly fell.”
“No, I’m sure you punched her in her guts.”
The train attendant immediately replied.
“No it’s just you’re imagination, do you think a cute frail-looking girl like me can do it?”
The attendant started to blush after I give to use of my special ability.
My special ability super cute expression!
This is the primary weakness of all boys. They're all weak to cute girls like me.
“Sorry, I’m not interested in girls at a young age. Please come with me and tell me what’s happening?”
Guahhh--!!
That hit's me hard.
The train attendant then pulled my arm and started dragging me.
I tackle him and open the window nearby and climb up to the roof.
“What are you doing?! That’s dangerous!”
“So-sorry but I need to save everyone.”
I said and started running.
Remembering, it’s around this time is the moment I started dreaming. The weird girl is already doing her preparation to put everyone to sleep.
This train is moving fast. That means those two demons are hiding in this train already.
I can’t rely on my instinct anymore. I need a skill that is compatible with this situation.
Area detection skill.
[Do you wish to have Area detection skills?]
“Yes.”
[Skill points required already deducted, Area detection skill successfully acquired.]
Activate area detection!
In my vision, a window presenting a map of the entire train appeared and the dots appeared. The green dots represent the human and the red ones represent demons.
Two red dots appeared in the last cabin.
I increase my moving speed by covering my feet with wind magic.
I run to the last cabin as fast as possible and from the top. I punch a hole and fell to the two demons.
The two demons were shocked seeing that someone already figure them out.
“An adventurer! What is that girl doing?!”
“She notices us.”
Modi charges toward me.
“Sorry, but you need to perish in this world.”
I used Ice magic to freeze them into ice. I then cut them in half using my sword.
Experience pints was gain meaning that they were already defeated.
That way I secure the peace of this train.
I get back to my seat and there. The train attendant waited for me.
“You’re still going with me and explain everything.”
He said.
“Yes…”
I don’t have a choice but to explain myself.
After explaining myself to the train captain and attendants. They seem to believe me when I said that the train is about to be attacked.
The girl I knockdown earlier confessed her sins. Saying that she made a demon contract to the demons.
She said that the demons are planning in eating the people's dream and body on this train in exchange for her will meet her fiance in her dream.
The girl is pitiful, she only did this because she missed the man she loves.
Missing someone, I can know that emotion. While I’m inside the dream. Retto is about to leave me., there's a feeling that I want to see him every day and I don’t want to leave him. I wanted him to stay by my side.
I then give her a can of orange juice.
“Here, sorry I punch you earlier.”
I apologized.
“It’s fine, I know that you’re just trying to stop me.”
She said and started drinking the juice I give to her.
After that, I go back to my sit and rest. I fell asleep again and this time I didn’t get to have a weird dream.
Waking up, the train stopped and announced.
“Town of Axel! We’re already in the town of Axel!”
I’m already here I need to go down.
I leave the train and set my foot to the town of the novice adventurers the town of Axel.
