Acheron: How Did You End Up in My World? [First Update] (Continued)
"The future? How could I possibly have a future?"
Yomikawa said calmly.
Her tone was indifferent, which made Ji Yuan feel a sense of pity.
This feeling is very strange.
Yomikawa stood up and ran to the bartender, ordering a cocktail and a drink.
"I want to go to the world of dreams. You'll come with me later."
"Good."
The two finished their drinks and then left the booth.
When they stood up, Huang Yomikawa was the one who stood up first, but she waited until Ji Yuan stood up and walked towards the corridor of the room before she followed behind him.
As expected, you didn't remember how to get to your room at all...
How do you survive in the universe with such a terrible sense of direction?
Ji Yuan made a sarcastic remark, but then considered Yomikawa's formidable fighting prowess. She could only hope that those affected by Yomikawa's misguided path could calmly accept her apology.
Yomikawa followed Ji Yuan to Yomikawa's room, picked up the room card, opened the door, and went inside.
As soon as he entered, Ji Yuan looked around.
Similar to the room layout of Ji Yuan's side, Ji Yuan glanced around to confirm there was no danger and then decided not to look any further.
Yomikawa Quan looked at the Dream Pool in the room, walked to the pool, and beckoned to Ji Yuan: "Come on, let's go into the pool together."
"Good."
Ji Yuan also walked to the Dream Pool.
The Dream Pool was built to be very large and spacious, and under normal circumstances, it could meet the needs of guests entering a dream. But now, only Ji Yuan and Yomikawa have entered the Dream Pool.
Especially since neither of them were short. Yomikawa was no shorter than the average man, and Ji Yuan was even taller, so it would be a bit crowded for the two of them to enter the Dream Pool side by side.
Seeing this situation, Yomikawa thought for a moment and then pulled Ji Yuan aside.
She said to Ji Yuan, "Wait, hold me tight, only then will the space in the pool be big enough."
Are you sure?
"Um."
Since Yomikawa had said so, Ji Yuan naturally wouldn't hesitate any longer. He and Yomikawa stepped into the Dream Pool together.
Ji Yuan lay down in the pool first, and Yomikawa nestled in his arms, her forehead resting against his cheek. Ji Yuan held Yomikawa 'Ji Yuan slender waist tightly. She was tall but very thin, especially her waist, which Ji Yuan could easily encircle with one hand.
Yomikawa was still pressed close to Ji Yuan, her right leg directly pressing against Ji Yuan thigh, their posture incredibly ambiguous. Ji Yuan was somewhat tempted, but a glance at Yomikawa's extremely calm eyes dispelled those thoughts.
Taking advantage of someone without their consent is never a very ethical thing to do.
Even scum doesn't act like this.
Keeping his mind calm, Ji Yuan prepared to enter the dream world. Yomikawa, in his arms, also slowly closed his eyes, intending to enter the dream world as well.
She came on someone's behalf to return a keepsake, but she had no idea who it was for or how to deliver it. She didn't even know who gave her the Remembrance before she drew her sword.
So she wanted to take a walk.
Let's see what this Penacony dream really is.
Yomikawa thought to himself, trying to get closer to Ji Yuan and find a more comfortable position.
Sweet dreams.
Yomikawa closed his eyes, and faintly seemed to hear a woman's soft laughter.
She could still faintly hear such sounds.
"What will happen when a Remembrance I can't enter and a Remembrance I dare not enter come together?"
Yomikawa instinctively sensed that something was wrong.
I opened my eyes again.
The surroundings were not the dream world she had visited once before.
Instead, all around was ruins. Rain continued to fall from the gray sky.
An umbrella appeared in Yomikawa's hand.
It separated her from the rain.
Here...
Yomikawa quietly observed his surroundings.
All the Remembrance that had been etched into my mind surfaced one by one: the destroyed buildings, the evil gods who had died on the ground, and the people of Izumo, who had become corpses in the distance...
This is her homeland, the now-destroyed Izumo.
The planets Izumo and Takama-ga-hara are surrounded by a void star god. The life forms in Takama-ga-hara were first infected by the void, and then transformed into eight million evil gods who came to Izumo to wreak havoc.
The people of Izumo forged swords to fight back, and after a fierce battle, the evil gods of Takama-ga-hara were all wiped out. However, Izumo had also been infected by the Void.
If this continues, Izumo will become the new Takama-ga-hara.
The one who appeared beside Yomikawa at this moment was the last of the war.
Why am I here?
Yomikawa thought to himself.
She reached to her waist and took out her makeup tools.
Izumo is prone to thunderstorms, so girls are accustomed to carrying their makeup tools with them, and Yomikawa remembered this custom. So in this dream, she habitually took out her makeup tools.
There was a small mirror inside her makeup bag, which she used to see her current appearance.
Instead of her usual short-sleeved attire, she wore a long white kimono, just like before. And on her head, the horns that had long since disappeared remained.
Yomikawa quietly closed his eyes and walked forward.
The ground was filled with something that was hard to tell whether it was water or blood. Even though Yomikawa was wearing tall wooden clogs, she could feel that her toes were wet.
Looking down, her once smooth and fair feet were now covered in blood.
Yomikawa couldn't figure out what had brought her Remembrance here, nor did she want to. She just wanted to walk on in silence.
Everything around turned black and white.
It was like a movie playing on an old film reel. The black sun in the sky was still gradually expanding, and it seemed as if the fate of Izumo and Takama-ga-hara was about to be replayed before her eyes.
There were no other survivors around, whether they were the people of Izumo, the evil god from Takama-ga-hara, or her comrades-in-arms; they had all vanished.
There weren't even any finished weapons around.
Only the knife in her hand.
This is not a 100% recreation of the original, after all, this is just a dream constructed based on her Remembrance.
A feeling of emptiness welled up in Yomikawa's heart, and she looked up at the black sun in the sky.
"Is this meant for me to raise my sword against Him again?"
Yomikawa wanted to walk a little longer.
Her Remembrance were buried deep, and she could hardly remember what her hometown was like. Yomikawa decided to take another look around, even if she had to bury these Remembrance again after leaving the dream world, she wanted to see more of it.
Before destroying it with her own hands, she wanted to see it one last time.
Knowing full well what the destination of this journey is, she wants to see as much as possible along the way to give herself meaning.
Yomikawa walked forward, surrounded by black and white buildings and corpses. Everything was still; Yomikawa couldn't even feel the wind.
These things constantly remind Yomikawa that everything he does is meaningless.
Let it just disappear.
This feeling of emptiness seemed to be a dark hand emerging from the void, pulling her towards the abyss of self-destruction. But Yomikawa kept her hand firmly on the hilt of her sword to counteract the invasion.
She is Self-Annihilator, but she can resist the erosion from nothingness and prolong the process of her self-destruction.
But,
Walking alone like this, it's still a bit lonely.
Yomikawa looked at the black lake water before him and thought to himself.
She crouched down and dipped her hand into the lake. Just then, a huge rock crashed into the lake, instantly creating ripples in the still water.
"What a terrible place this is! Where are my Golden Hour of prosperity?"
Upon hearing this voice, Yomikawa laughed.
She walked toward the direction from which the stone had come, and then saw Ji Yuan standing on the shore of the lake, wearing only shorts.
The surroundings were all black and white, but after Ji Yuan appeared, a third color appeared in this world.
Colors belonging to living organisms.
She walked over with a smile on her lips.
After venting his emotions, Ji Yuan decided to thoroughly investigate what exactly was going on here.
After embracing Yomikawa, he entered the Dream Pool intending to enter the Golden Hour. However, when he opened his eyes, he found himself directly in the lake water.
What the hell is this?
With that thought in mind, he quickly swam out of the lake. And once out, he saw this black and white world devoid of any life.
Feeling as if no one was around, Ji Yuan took out a stone and threw it to vent his frustration.
After throwing one piece, he felt a significant release of his pent-up frustration. He decided to throw another piece and then take a closer look at what the world was really like.
His gaze remained fixed on the lake, his hand casually reaching behind him.
However, this time it wasn't a hard rock, but a wet, cold, yet very soft object.
Ji Yuan instinctively scratched his head.
It's very soft and tender.
This shape should be a very beautiful jade foot.
Ah!?
Ji Yuan quickly turned around and saw Yomikawa, who was holding an umbrella and wearing a kimono, standing behind him looking at him. His hand was on her foot, which was sticking out from under her kimono.
"This..."
Ji Yuan quickly removed his hand from Yomikawa's foot.
He had just told her not to take advantage of others, but not long after, he started playing with her feet.
"I'm sorry, Miss Yomikawa, I didn't expect it to be you."
Ji Yuan quickly apologized.
"No, I'm the one who should apologize." Yomikawa shook his head.
Ji Yuan immediately realized what was happening and asked her, "Is this place related to you?"
"Yes, this is the world built from the Remembrance of my homeland that I once destroyed."
Yomikawa nodded firmly.
"I don't know who sent you and me into this world of Remembrance."
"Once I find out who it is, I'll definitely teach her a lesson she won't forget." Ji Yuan was also somewhat dissatisfied with this.
"I'll help you with that later."
Yomikawa seemed to be in a good mood at the moment, and echoed Ji Yuan's words.
At this moment, Ji Yuan looked at herself wearing only shorts, her face flushed slightly, and she wanted to grab the clothes next to her and put them on quickly.
Seeing this, Yomikawa stopped him, saying, "Don't worry about those things. There's no need to be particular about them in this world."
As she spoke, her hand remained on her kimono, gently unbuttoning it to reveal a pair of delicate, jade-like shoulders.
