“That's impossible~~”
Little Baku shook his head.

“This labyrinth is difficult to connect with the outside world. Even 'that person' can't do it... However, we can try to contact the dream world of Mahora.”
“Mahora?”
Hyakusuke thought carefully.
Being unable to contact Princess Yuki Onna was a bit beyond his expectations, but if he could connect with Mahora, it could alleviate the crisis.
“Tenshin Sakura Mahora should be able to contact Hiiragi Hiruko, right?”
He thought about it, feeling this was a breakthrough.
“Then, please do me a favor. I want to enter the dream world of Mahora.”
“That's easy.”
Little Baku snapped his fingers.
The surrounding scenery began to distort, violently rotating like a kaleidoscope. Hyakusuke felt his brain spinning as well. He didn't know how long it took, but the surrounding scenery switched.
“Did it work?”
He found himself in a sparse woodland.
“It seems I really have come to the dream world where Mahora is.”
This was a rather unfamiliar terrain, filled with high hills or slopes, and even cliffs devoid of vegetation, making it a natural barrier.
Hyakusuke began to move, rushing down the grassy slope.
“I wonder how I can find that god.”
Although it was a slope, it was actually no different from a small mountain.
Hyakusuke tried to sense while nimbly passing through the trees. He not only ran on the ground, but also sometimes jumped between the branches, as light as a swallow, traversing the greenery as if there were no obstacles at all.
Suddenly, the sound of flapping wings came from overhead.
Hyakusuke quickly turned his head, and for a moment, he felt goosebumps. Just above his head, there was a huge bird.
Its massive body was reminiscent of a Garuda or a Roc in mythology—before he could resist, the huge bird stretched out its claws, grabbed his body, and took him into the air.
'Please don't struggle... it's me.'
The giant bird emitted the voice of Tenshin Sakura Mahora.
“Mahora? I'm here to ask for help!”
Hyakusuke was somewhat surprised. Mahora had appeared before him in the form of a "Sacred Deer" in the past. He didn't expect that this time, it had transformed into a large bird.
'I know, don't worry.'
Mahora's tone was quite calm.
'Hiiragi Hiruko has been waiting for you. She believes that you will definitely find a chance to use the dream world to ask for help... You, come with me!'
The big bird flapped its wings and quickly flew across the sky. Hyakusuke was directly taken to a sea of flowers covered with red blossoms.
“Hyakusuke-san.”
Hiiragi Hiruko's voice rang out from the sea of flowers.
“Finally... found you.”
In the next second, he was tightly hugged from behind.
“Hiruko-san?!”
Hyakusuke was obviously stunned.
Even without turning his head, he could hear the crying in Hiiragi Hiruko's voice.
“I was so worried… so scared that you would get hurt, worried that something would happen to you… afraid you wouldn't come back.”
Hiiragi Hiruko's voice was so weak that it was almost inaudible.
“But, I'm really worried about you, afraid I'll never see you again… Hyakusuke-sama, you are very important to me, please, don't make me worry so much in the future, okay?”
What?
Hyakusuke didn't expect her to say such a thing.
A spark flashed in the depths of his mind, or rather, a flash of inspiration.
'No way… could it be that Hiiragi Hiruko likes me…'
Hyakusuke was also in a state of confusion.
He had never thought of having a deeper relationship with Hiiragi Hiruko.
That's right, he had indeed saved her.
However, Hyakusuke had never thought of having a higher level relationship with her.
He was very satisfied with the atmosphere of being a benefactor or almost a friend. He had just rejected Tsukigara Yome's confession, and now he encountered this kind of thing… At this moment, a complex emotion that he had never had before surged in his heart.
How exactly did it come to this?
Hyakusuke felt like he was in a fog.
The newest novels are first published at ⊥⊥⊥!
—No, it can't be said that he had no thoughts at all.
He gathered all the memories of his interactions with Hiiragi Hiruko in his mind.
Finally, Hyakusuke came to a conclusion.
'Okay, maybe I seem to have made a lot of unnecessary moves, making Hiiragi Hiruko misunderstand my intentions… I, I didn't actually mean that, but, this matter may have become like this…'
He could only sigh deeply in his heart.
“Hiruko-san, can you let go of me?”
“O-okay.”
Hiiragi Hiruko also realized that her behavior was out of control and hurriedly backed away in a panic.
“I… I seem to have gone too far.”
Her face was flushed and she trembled all over.
“It's okay.”
Hyakusuke turned around and looked at her face. The girl didn't dare to meet his eyes, and her gaze wandered around in a panic.
The girl's shy and flustered appearance was really very cute.
Hyakusuke's heart was also a little hesitant. He originally wanted to chat with Hiiragi Hiruko for a while, but he felt that now was not the time.
'Let's talk about business first… We can chat slowly after this is over.'
He cleared his throat.
“Can you first tell me what happened after I fell?”
Hiiragi Hiruko nodded.
Next, she explained everything that happened after Hyakusuke fell.
After Hyakusuke and the other two enemies of the Eight Blessings Society fell together, everyone fell into a panic.
The mind link seemed to be too far away, and they couldn't contact Hyakusuke at all.
Hiiragi Hiruko was in chaos. Her emotions were almost out of control, and she wanted to jump down to find him. Fortunately, Zhuo An and the other two stopped her.
However, Hiiragi Hiruko's emotions were very unstable at the time. She insisted on acting alone to find the two who had fallen. Just when the two sides were about to fight, Renjo and his party rushed over. Under the comfort of this merchant uncle, her emotions eased.
However, at this time, everyone also discovered that Tsukigara Yome was also missing.
“We originally wanted to find Yome-san, hoping to have her help, and gather everyone's strength to investigate… But, Yome-san and Rileira are both gone.”
She added another sentence.
“That Ainu hunter, Taku, also took the opportunity to try to hurt Renjo-san and the others, but he was injured in the arm and escaped.”
“I see, it seems that Yome should have been captured by Taku and his daughter.”
Hyakusuke said in a low voice. That's right, this is also part of the plot of the original game. The protagonist accidentally loses his hand and is captured, becoming bait. Then, the accompanying retainer, the old man Matsudaira, had already prepared, tracked down the protagonist's whereabouts, and finally found the protagonist on the third floor.
And in this process, the lone protagonist is forced to fight on the third floor. Going around and around, this part of the plot returns to the origin. This can be said to be a pleasant surprise.
Little Baku shook his head.
