The girl sighed helplessly upon hearing Eve Nightburn’s request.
A fleeting trace of sorrow passed through her wine-red, starry eyes.
“Ah, fine, do as you please. What I said was indeed nonsense. Rather than spouting useless words, it’s better to take a bite of Strawberry Cake. At least the sugar can ease the bitterness in my heart.”
After saying this, the girl popped the small strawberry she had just prepared for Eve Nightburn into her own mouth.
“Don’t you dare change the subject!”
What Eve Nightburn wanted to know most was when she had used that so-called secret language. As for whether to live or not, that was just a slight anxiety for her, not something she had to consider.
“Oh, you mean this!”
The girl seemed to understand Eve Nightburn’s meaning and snapped her fingers. In the next moment, a floating image appeared before the two of them at the dining table.
It showed Eve Nightburn biting Miri Dreamwell’s shoulder in subspace.
Eve Nightburn stared blankly at her past actions, feeling as if her brain had been violently violated.
What an embarrassing dark history!
Eve Nightburn grabbed the girl’s shoulders, shaking her body frantically as she questioned her.
“Did you say this? Did you say this? Did you say this? I didn’t say this, right? I didn’t say this, right? Did I say this or not?”
Important things need to be said three times.
“Stop, stop, stop!”
The girl begged Eve Nightburn to stop shaking her.
“Fine.”
Eve Nightburn stopped shaking her, hoping the girl would quickly provide the answer she wanted.
The girl straightened her hair, then placed her hands on her hips, leaning forward slightly, and pointed at Eve Nightburn’s head with her right hand, slightly angry.
“So, you speak without thinking!”
After saying this, the girl retracted her hand, crossed her arms, and gave Eve Nightburn a stern look.
“Hmph!”
The girl implied that not everything should be blamed on others, okay?
Blaming me for everything…
Forget it, the existence of demons is inherently for people to shift blame onto. I’m used to it.
After thinking this, the girl ultimately gave up on all her complaints.
After suffering this extremely cruel mental blow, Eve Nightburn squatted to the side, drawing circles in self-isolation.
“What’s wrong with being dumb? Dumb people didn’t steal your rice…”
After calming down from her anger, the girl felt a bit bored. She walked over to Eve Nightburn and patted her shoulder.
“Hey, since it’s almost spring, why not make a small wish for the new year?”
After hearing the girl’s words, Eve Nightburn stopped drawing circles, lifted her head, and thought for a while.
“I want… to have my own home, a real home, not a rented room with others, nor a house where I’m alone. It should be a place that brings me joy and warmth.”
“But that seems a bit difficult. After all, I don’t even have any relatives. I should probably find a job first.”
“Actually, I kind of want to go on a trip, feeling the wind mess up my hair in a convertible on the highway.”
“Hmm… okay, I’m thinking a bit too much. I should probably consider how to live first.”
“Then I understand! I hope to have a Strawberry Cake every month.”
“That seems a bit too luxurious.”
“Then I’ll strive to find my birthday this year, and on that day, buy myself a Strawberry Cake! Then put a candle on it, symbolizing my first birthday.”
“Yes, that’s my wish!”
After listening to Eve Nightburn’s wish, the girl patted her back: “Then remember to take an extra candle on your birthday, since I’ll be celebrating too.”
“Okay!”
Just as Eve Nightburn was about to stand up, she suddenly realized she had gotten up from the bed.
Looking around, Eve Nightburn finally realized she had been talking too much with that person and forgot she was dreaming.
“Eve Nightburn!”
Hearing Miri Dreamwell call her, Eve Nightburn instinctively wanted to turn around.
“Don’t look at me!”
Miri Dreamwell quickly stopped Eve Nightburn.
Hearing Miri Dreamwell’s request, Eve Nightburn immediately stopped her motion to look at her.
“Sister, what are you doing?”
Eve Nightburn was a bit confused, but Miri Dreamwell behind her quickly provided the answer.
“Although I don’t know how it happened, as long as you notice me, all your actions must be mirrored by me simultaneously.”
“At the same time, the threads connected to my fingertips can control your body at any time. In other words, we are now required to control each other.”
“Ah?”
Eve Nightburn was speechless. Who could be so bored?
Wait…
Eve Nightburn recalled the girl in her dream. The content of the secret language she gave her was about threads and mirrors, wasn’t it?
So it was literal after all?
Which means the current situation was of her own making…
Eve Nightburn immediately wanted to slap herself. In this world, there’s probably no one else who could accidentally cause their own demise without intending to.
“I see… then I’ll go outside the room for a while, so I won’t bother you, right?”
Eve Nightburn walked forward with her back to Miri Dreamwell, sticking to the wall.
Trying to keep her vision away from her.
After leaving the bedroom, Eve Nightburn realized how massive the building was.
Just the corridor seemed endless.
“So luxurious…”
Eve Nightburn tried to familiarize herself with the building, walking through every part of it.
As she walked through the building, admiring the opulence, she couldn’t help but feel that some spaces seemed familiar.
Until she reached the dining room, Eve Nightburn finally remembered where this was!
“Isn’t this where I ate in my dream?”
No wonder it felt so familiar. It turned out to be the place from her dream.
Eve Nightburn pinched herself.
“Ouch!”
The sharp pain caused tears to involuntarily flow from her eyes.
Okay, not a dream.
Eve Nightburn looked at the threads on her body and the empty dining room, feeling as if she were still dreaming.
But the intense pain clearly told her this wasn’t a dream.
Leaving the dining room, Eve Nightburn arrived at the building’s main hall.
Seeing the distant door, Eve Nightburn walked up to it, ready to push it open.
Ding!
Just as Eve Nightburn reached the door, before she could touch it, the slightly classical door slowly opened to both sides with a ding.
“Ah…”
Eve Nightburn had thought it was a classical palace door, but it was automatic after all?
Leaving the building, Eve Nightburn realized she was still in the familiar city, but it was now night.
“Cloudsea Lake?”
Eve Nightburn walked to the lakeside street and found the surrounding streets still filled with people as if it were morning.
But these people were covered in the same threads as her.
