Into Another's Dream

"Huh?"

Aemeath couldn't understand Mo Bai's little outburst just now, so she tilted her head, her eyes full of confusion.

Seeing this, Rover stepped over and lightly touched Aemeath's shoulder, guiding her back behind her.

Then she gave Aemeath a brief explanation:

"Aemeath, this is Mo Bai, a companion Principal Losera sent to help us deal with the crisis in the Dark Plains.

Like Feixue, he rarely showed himself in public before."

Since they were in the Dark Plains, they didn't have much time to "catch up," so she could only invent an identity for Mo Bai.

"Ah, yes, Rover's right."

With his teammate giving him a way out, Mo Bai naturally went along with her explanation and sidestepped the subject for now.

"Hm? Is that so?"

Hearing what Mo Bai and Rover said, Aemeath rested a hand against her chin and searched her memories.

This stranger she had just met gave her an inexplicable sense of familiarity, yet she truly couldn't find any trace of him in her memories.

"Let's get back to business. Mo Bai, you must have been attacked by that void matter before you found us, right?"

Just as the atmosphere around Mo Bai and the other two grew a little awkward, Feixue spoke up, asking him to share what he knew.

Mo Bai breathed a sigh of relief.

Her question had rescued him, finally freeing him from that awkward atmosphere.

Maybe this icy-looking Miko was surprisingly good at reading the room and adapting?

"Hm?"

Seeing the grateful look Mo Bai gave her, Feixue tilted her head.

She had only asked that question for efficiency's sake, hoping to identify the source of the crisis in the Dark Plains as quickly as possible.

As for rescuing him from an awkward situation...

That genuinely hadn't occurred to her.
