Fantasy Clock～Dream Ruler～

In this fantasy town filled with candy and all kinds of sweets, rulers with different outfits, personalities, goals... appeared one after another, and left one after another, leaving only me and Xia Yinci And Lin Yu.

Just because of Lin Yu's unintentional preaching, Xia Yinci's gaze on him showed an unusually cold color.

Xia Yinci has never shown such eyes before, has she?

strangeness. After coming into contact with the Dominator game, her image that should have been fixed long ago began to change.

In the chaos, Lin Yu disappeared from my field of vision together with his World Gate.

I turned my gaze away, and just about to ask Xia Yinci something, I found that her face was very pale. After her gaze stayed on me for half a second, she suddenly became weak and fell to her side.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?"

I hurriedly stepped forward to support Xia Yinci, whose figure was unsteady. With the help of my arm, she managed to stand up straight, and took a step forward with some pretentiousness, leaving my arm that was supporting her.

"Qianyan, she..."

For some reason, she heard an interesting name, but before Xia Yinci finished speaking, she suddenly covered her forehead. This time I didn't have time to hold her, Xia Yinci's figure flickered, and she fell to her knees on the ground.

"Hey! If you're not feeling well, don't be brave..."

I carefully pulled Xia Yinci up, looked at her trembling eyes, and remembered that she had mentioned the name Qianyan just now.

That guy was so arrogant that he couldn't tell strangers his name casually.

But how did Xia Yinci know her name?

Qianyan, that doesn't sound like a popular name.

I suddenly recalled Xia Yinci's eyes just now, and inadvertently compared her eyes with Qian Yan's eyes, and finally came up with an answer that surprised me—it was not Lin Yu who confronted Lin Yu just now. Xia Yinci, but Qianyan.

It is impossible to consider how complicated the relationship is.

"What's going on, Qianyan?"

Xia Yinci glanced at me, the cold hostility was no longer in her eyes, but this time she didn't explain clearly.

"Hey, do you know my dreamer?"

She should have known the existence of my dream maker from the very beginning, perhaps, she knows Qianyan better than I do. This made me feel more and more that she would choose me after school that day, not because of some ghost pressing the bed, or because of my lucid dream physique, there must be other reasons.

"Now is not the time to ask such things, we should go to Satou."

Sure enough, she didn't answer me directly again.

forget it. I'm also barely used to it.

"Yeah. That's right. So what should we do? Shall we wake up from the dream first?"

Xia Yinci tilted her head, as if she was also thinking about what to do.

"...I'm not sure we'll ever find him."

"What's the meaning?"

"Maybe we're not in the same era."

Xia Yinci's eyes fell on me for a moment, and then quickly moved to another place.

Unexpectedly, the previous speculation turned out to be wrong. According to the difference in time passing speed between the dream world and the real world, it is indeed possible that the rulers came from different time realities.

So I'm still thinking, is Elus really a medieval magician, or is she a secondary disease in this world.

Or, neither?

"It is not only the rulers of our era who were summoned to the cracks in the dream... let alone..."

"What's more...?"

"What's more, it may come from different world layers. Just like there are multiple dreams, the real world is not only the one we live in."

What does this mean? A theory of quantum physics?

Xia Yinci once again calmly said words that shattered my worldview.

"Is there no way for us to go to other worlds? In reality, there is no setting like... world gates?"

"Huh? You have a pretty good understanding~ Did you pretend to be stupid with me?"

Xia Yinci gave me a strange look, and asked me inexplicably, which made me give her a helpless look.

"I think I'm getting more and more abnormal. I actually take your delusional girl's words seriously."

She shook her head absently and glanced at me.

"Don't call me by that name~ Anyway, let's go back and have a look, maybe they are from the same world, right?"

"I think so too."

Hearing this, Xia Yinci smiled lightly.

"After we go back, let's meet at the cafe near the school~"

＊＊＊

Finally, an unusually long dream came to an end.

I sat up sleepily on the bed and rubbed my eyes. I was about to stretch, but I caught a glimpse of a figure inadvertently out of the corner of my eye, and my movements involuntarily paused.

Who, could it be the Dream Stealer?

My spine suddenly felt cold, and I immediately focused my gaze on that figure, so——

"Ugh, why are you in my room?!"

I hurriedly jumped out of bed. When he woke up, his sister broke out in a cold sweat.

Su Huilin put her hands on her waist, helplessly looking at me who was panicked.

Today, she loosened her usual double ponytails into long hair, which was casually scattered on her shoulders. I suddenly had the idea to help her push the hair on her shoulders back, but in the end I still didn't do it.

Su Huilin didn't speak for a long time, it seemed that I wanted to understand why she appeared here.

"...Am I going to be late for school?"

"Are you serious about saying that?"

She frowned and looked at me with displeasure, but unfortunately, not only did it not have the effect of scaring me, but she seemed even cuter.

No! My sister can't be this cute!

"Today is weekend, I won't stop you if you want to go to class."

"Double... weekends? It's great!!"

I clenched my fist and pulled my elbow down. I was going to look for Sato, but now I don't need to find a reason to ask the school for leave, which is also a good thing.

My sister looked at my weird movements in puzzlement, revealing a disgusted look at monsters.

"No, that doesn't explain why you're in my room..."

Before I could finish speaking, Su Erin picked up the alarm clock at the side, held it in front of my eyes, and said word by word:

"Even if it's a weekend! It's too late!"

"So...?"

"Only for this reason, I am qualified to wake you up."

"...It is said that my younger sister is the reincarnation of my lover in the previous life, but why do I feel that you were my mother in the previous life?"

"Shut up, you~ I didn't even suspect that you were my father in a previous life!"

"That's okay, just call me Dad."

"Oh, are you courting death?"

Hey... What's the matter with this almost freezing atmosphere?

It's a bit scary, let's change the subject.

"By the way, your hair seems to be growing very long..."

"Don't you like it, shall I cut it off?"

While holding the hair on her right shoulder, she took out a scrunchie from her pocket and tied it up. But instead of the usual twin ponytails, she just tied a long braid.

"Don't cut it... I just mentioned it in passing!"

"oh."

Speaking of which... Xia Yinci asked me to meet at the coffee shop near the school, right?

"By the way, Rin, is daddy home?"

"He seems to have prepared breakfast for us quite early, but he wasn't at home when I got up."

"Oh, I won't eat breakfast for now, I need to go out for a little urgent matter. Dad is back, can you tell him for me?"

As I said that, I walked out of the room, Su Erin also walked out of the bedroom, and closed the door by the way.

"What's urgent? Oh, is Xiaoyin looking for you?"

She seemed to have glimpsed the conversation window with Xia Yinci displayed on my mobile phone, pretending to be uninterested.

"Yeah. Be back soon."

Su Huilin didn't respond to me for a while, hesitant to speak.

When I went into the bathroom to wash, she leaned against the door of the bathroom, suddenly looked up at me and said:

"Can't I go together?"

"ah……?"

I don't know how to answer her either. If you let her go together, I always feel that talking to Xia Yinci will definitely be a little apprehensive. However, she must be worried about me recently. After all, my behavior a few days ago was indeed a bit abnormal, and it is understandable to arouse her suspicion and worry.

Forget it... If Xia Yinci and I keep silent about the dream and make Su Huilin think that we are just looking for someone, then there will be no problem.

Thinking of this, I nodded my head pretending to be indifferent, and continued to squeeze out a smear of toothpaste.

"Then let's go together."

＊＊＊

After entering the shopping mall, Su Huilin and I took the escalator to the second floor, and saw the agreed coffee shop as soon as we turned the corner. The girl sitting on the window seat looked around, biting her straw, seemed to have noticed Su Erin and me, smiled and waved to us.

I'm actually not familiar with this place, I only know that many students will patronize this coffee shop, and Xia Yinci has worked here.

Thinking of this, I took a few steps closer, and noticed that Xia Yinci was not sitting there alone, and there was a girl sitting opposite her, which made me frown in confusion.

However, Su Huilin didn't worry about the other person, pushed the door open and walked towards the seat over there. I had no choice but to follow.

Immediately afterwards, I encountered an embarrassing situation.

Su Huilin and Xia Yinci sat on the same side, which meant that I had to sit with this girl who didn't know each other.

I was stunned for a while, scratched my cheek and pointed to the strange girl at the position beside her. Only when I got her nodding reply, I breathed a sigh of relief and sat beside her in a slightly restrained manner.

What's the situation! I quietly looked at her and noticed the tear mole in the corner of the girl's eyes. She clearly doesn't look like a high school student... of course I didn't draw that conclusion based on the size of her boobs!

Although I must admit that I instinctively compared the sizes of the three girls in front of me. If the breasts are sorted from largest to smallest, it should be this mysterious girl, Su Eirin, and Xia Yinci at the end...

No, now is not the time to think about these things! I shook my head and calmed down, but when I looked up, I found that both Xia Yinci and Su Huilin were looking at me with disgust as if they were looking at monsters, which made me lower my head in embarrassment.

"It's our first meeting, may I ask who you are..."

Su Huilin looked at the girl in confusion, and asked her naturally.

The girl was stunned for a moment, rubbing her brown hair, looking a little difficult to answer.

Xia Yinci noticed her embarrassment, and answered for the girl:

"A friend I met recently. She... has a weird temper, so I don't know her name. You don't have to pay too much attention to her! It's not you who should care about her."

"Hey..."

The tea-haired girl had a strange look in her eyes. After noticing Xia Yinci's eyes, she nodded her head.

"Well, don't worry about me~"

As soon as the words fell, she tilted her head again, and her body swayed forward and backward, giving people a silly and cute feeling.

"Strange~ who should care about me?"

Hmm... this girl is a super natural fool, right?

Although it was the first time we met and she didn't like to talk, she gave people a strong sense of affinity. Especially when she thought about it for a long time and suddenly looked at me and smiled, it made me feel more favorable towards her instantly. I lost my temper when she laughed like that.

"Hey, are you the one who cares about me?"

Well... this is magic! It must be magic! Where the hell is it?

I glanced at Xia Yinci, she didn't mean to explain directly to me, but picked up the phone, as if she had sent a message to someone.

Oh, I get it. After a while, my phone vibrated. I quickly took the opportunity to break free from the girl's gaze, and took out the cell phone in my pocket. It was indeed a text message from Xia Yinci.

It's a strange experience to communicate by text message even though we are so close.

"Idiot, I knew you would bring your sister here!"

"I'll find an excuse later to let you and that girl go to another location, and you will go with her when the time comes."

"Anyway, play by ear, do you understand? If you understand, just knock on the table!"

I reluctantly followed suit and tapped on the table lightly. Only now Xia Yinci's frowning brows relaxed, revealing a sweet smile.

She made this plan on the premise that I would bring Su Huilin over, right? I don't know her very well, but she seems to know me very well... I don't know if that's a good thing.

"You know why I called you out today, don't you?"

Xia Yinci rested her chin gently on the back of her hand, and stared straight at me. He calmly brought the topic to me.

"should know?"

The tone is unavoidably a little uncertain. Tell me to play by ear, but I still have no idea how to do it.

Su Huilin probably felt that I was deliberately hiding something in front of her, so she glanced at me displeasedly, and said:

"Why do you use a questioning tone, if you know it, you know it, if you don't know it, just say it~"

"Forget it! As for me, I won't beat around the bush!"

Xia Yinci's expression became serious, and she stared at me solemnly.

"Boys are a bit H, I can understand it! But you have used your bad brains on female college students, asking others out to play but letting others dove, isn't that a little too much?!"

What the hell is this guy... talking about?

"Hey, what kind of plot is this... are you talking about something?"

Just when I was about to clear up this inexplicable misunderstanding, I found Xia Yinci gave me a vicious look.

Ah...So this is how she lures Su Erin away?

But why are you deliberately discrediting me!

Although I was reluctant, I changed my mind and said:

"Sorry, coo coo coo coo."

"It's useless to apologize, she came to me personally, please tell her clearly! Between the two of you, alone, face to face!"

Xia Yinci unquestionably pointed to the absent girl. I curled my lips helplessly and stood up. Instead, the girl looked at me with a puzzled face, and when she saw me waving at her, she let out an oh and followed.

During the whole process, Su Huilin just kept blinking her eyes, as if she was thinking about something, but she didn't stop me and asked me what was going on, it really didn't look like her style.

When I got to an empty seat far away from them, I sat down with a sigh of relief, and couldn't help muttering.

"Damn it, I will definitely settle this account with you in the future! My image in my sister's heart has completely plummeted..."

"Hey, why are you trying to settle accounts with me~"

The brown-haired girl tilted her head, followed me closely with itchy eyes, and I waved my hands hastily.

"No, I didn't mean you...I made you laugh."

"no……"

"Is that so, ha, ha, ha..."

I laughed dryly at a loss. Although the brown-haired girl didn't understand why I did this, she still imitated me and laughed a few times.

The cicadas outside the window chirped a few times, and the social youth passing by the tree angrily shook their fists and hammered at the tree stump, and the two cicadas fell to the ground.

The waitress passing by us accidentally scratched the knife on the table next door. She missed the sight of the guests at the next table, apologized, covered her torn skirt with a blushing face and walked away.

...

The atmosphere was extremely awkward.

Speaking of which, what exactly is Xia Yinci trying to do by letting me be alone with her?

Does she know where Sato is?

"Excuse me, are you Xia Yinci who came here to help us find a missing ruler?"

"Hey, it seems that there is such a thing. So, you are also a participant of this ruler game?"

"Yes, Xia Yinci and I are on the same clock."

"Then you know Ruler 12? How is he doing?"

Ruler No. 12... refers to Lin Yu? Why did she suddenly mention Lin Yu?

Suddenly, I remembered the conversation between Lin Yu and William. Could it be that the girl in front of me is the senior who helped us invite the ruler, the winner who ruled the game last time?

Just her?

"For Lin Yu, it's okay, right? But it doesn't seem like you like to interact with others."

Having said that, I paused intentionally.

"The winner who dominates this game can really dominate reality?"

The girl who seemed to be thinking about something raised her head after hearing this.

After a while, she smiled inexplicably.

"Hey, why do you all like to ask this question? Obviously, the rulers can rule a world in a dream. Is there a big gap between dreams and reality?"

"Of course! How can dominating dreams be as good as dominating reality?"

I responded to her as a matter of course.

"That's right. But in essence, it's the same."

As she spoke, she quietly looked out the window. I really couldn't read the changes in her expression, it's better to say that her expression didn't change a few times from the beginning to the end, but I also noticed her slightly sad thoughts at this time.

"So, you can really control reality, right?"

"Hey, what am I doing right now?"

"What's the meaning?"

I looked at her puzzled, and saw the girl pointing to the passing waiter.

"Then try ordering~"

Although I didn't understand her intentions, I did as she said and waved to the waiter, but the other party ignored me as if they didn't notice my existence at all. I tried to call her again, but no one looked at me because of my actions.

"The place where you and I are now has been used as an independent space. From the perspective of others, neither of us has spoken. We just sit quietly in our seats and drink coffee. Only people in a trance will watch What's actually going on here."

"Domination of reality...is it possible to use it to this extent?"

I waved to the guest at the next table with great interest, but the other party didn't respond at all.

"Well, so even if you touch my breasts here, no one will pay attention to you~"

I was stunned for a few seconds, and gradually realized the whimsical words in her words, I hurriedly looked at her, and waved my hands.

"I...I didn't mean to touch your Opie!"

"Hey, I'm just giving an example, don't be so excited~"

"How can you give such an example! Why do you, a girl who looks so innocent, seem to be reminiscent of sex, anyway, why are you able to speak about H so calmly! "

"Hey, a familiar response."

She tilted her head indifferently, and waved lightly, and two cups of coffee just appeared in front of us out of thin air.

"Oops... I'm not still dreaming, am I?"

"Whether you are dreaming or not, and whether you are awake or not, there is no need to care so much, right?"

Another indifferent response.

If you continue to think about it, your thoughts will only become more and more confused. I simply ignored these unusual phenomena about dominating reality, and reluctantly brought the topic back to the original point.

"Forget it... Speaking of which, how are you going to help us find that ruler."

She put down the glass, looked at me and shook her head.

"What? What do you mean by shaking your head? Can't you make it clearer?"

"The person you are looking for is not in this world."

"You mean, did he really come from another real world?"

"Yeah. Xia Yinci asked me to try to find him just now, and I told her the same conclusion."

"Is that so..."

I sighed lightly. Really, what the hell is Xia Yinci thinking?

Since this is the result, why let me be alone with her, wouldn't it be enough to just tell me the result?

Just as I was complaining to myself, a door suddenly appeared beside the dining table.

A fairly ordinary wooden door, but it is extraordinary that it appears in the corridor out of nowhere.

"Let's go."

"Huh? Where are you going?"

I looked at the tea-haired girl who stood up in confusion, she looked back at me, and smiled faintly.

"Go to the world where the person you are looking for is. You won't find him here, but you can do it by going to the other side of the door."

"You are... just like a creator."

This girl who can control reality is almost like a god? Fortunately, she who has the ability to control reality is not some chaotic villain, otherwise the world would have become a mess.

She smiled, stopped responding to my words, and just walked through the other end of the door. I hesitated for a moment, but finally followed.

Just like this, go to the other end, another unknown world.
