Part 2, Chapter 37 (230)
After staying awake through an entire day, I finally collapsed into sleep when darkness returned.
In my dream, He appeared for the first time in a long while.
The person who always caressed me so tenderly.
He, dressed in a soft white shirt that suited him perfectly, looked like a painting someone had carefully rendered.
Though I still couldn’t see his face—
‘Perhaps he had painted it.’
The two hands embracing me from behind were unusually colorful today.
As I playfully interlaced my fingers with his, a low, rumbling laugh echoed through the dream.
He kissed the top of my head, then led me somewhere.
‘It’s rare for a dream to shift locations like this.’
Fascinated, I followed wherever he led.
Beyond the open corridor, pristine white flowers bloomed in profusion, and their fragrance drifted through the cool air.
The sunlight poured down brilliantly, and the landscape shimmered like another world entirely.
I was so happy and at peace that I wanted to forget my current reality.
‘Ah, this is the Painting Room.’
Had he painted this?
He seemed to be laughing with unbridled excitement, and I regretted not being able to see that triumphant expression.
‘This is… me.’
Most of the paintings were portraits.
A woman with long pink hair filled every canvas.
In them, I was playing the piano, or sitting before an easel.
‘It’s as though he captured fragments of the time we spent together.’
Up close, the brushstrokes were light as feathers, and the colors were generally soft and delicate.
That didn’t mean he had painted carelessly.
‘I can see the traces of genuine effort. He’s improving with each piece compared to the first paintings that hung here.’
And above all, affection.
An affection so profound it was immeasurable shone through.
‘I’m moved.’
I walked slowly, gazing at paintings filled entirely with me.
Each painting conveyed a different emotion as I passed it.
How long had he been watching me? How deeply?
What kind of heart must one possess to paint only me like this?
As I followed the paintings one by one, my steps suddenly stopped.
On the innermost wall, where sunlight fell gently, hung a large canvas.
It depicted a battle scene, and within it, I was summoning spirits.
But that wasn’t what surprised me.
My gaze was fixed on a certain presence perched upon my shoulder.
‘Pir?’
Even rubbing my eyes, there was no doubt about it.
That was unmistakably Pir.
Transparent wings catching the light brilliantly, a tail still curled in a tight spiral, a small body yet radiating an air of supreme confidence.
The young Opal Dragon spread its wings wide, its mouth gaping open in what could only be described as a triumphant display.
I had thought it uncertain whether the egg would ever hatch, and yet—!
‘Could this be a vision of the future?’
This might not be merely a dream, but a premonition.
The moment that possibility crossed my mind, a shiver ran through my entire body.
‘I possess the power to reverse time itself. If that’s true, perhaps I also have the ability to glimpse what’s to come.’
But the dream, regrettably, ended there.
Cradled in his arms, I closed my eyes once more.
The fragrance of flowers drifted softly through my senses, and I could faintly hear the steady rhythm of his heartbeat.
And ever so gradually, that resplendent world began to dissolve into light.
The time to awaken was drawing near.
* * *
As my eyes opened, even through the haze of consciousness, I felt a sudden recognition—this place was not unfamiliar to me.
The scent in the air felt strangely familiar.
Thin rays of sunlight traced across the ceiling, and beyond the window, the gentle sound of leaves rustling in the breeze drifted softly to my ears.
‘Perhaps it’s because this is Rasifer’s House.’
Barely managing to sit up, I hurried to find Father and Rasifer.
But then, beneath the rustling blankets, a soft luminescence peeked through.
“Ah, Pir!”
When I lifted the bulging blanket, what lay beneath was the Opal Dragon’s egg.
It seemed to have a more lustrous sheen than the day Rasifer had given it to me.
[Water Spirit King Aurora spent the entire night by your side, it seems.]
[It’s been blessed with nature’s vitality. A healthy dragon will be born.]
Then I’m relieved, Mother.
‘Rasifer must have come and left it here.’
During all the chaos, he had placed it back in the Subspace.
I gently caressed the egg—it was warm as ever. Comforted by that subtle reassurance, I embraced it tightly and placed a tender kiss upon it.
“I saw you hatch in my dream. You’ll definitely be able to awaken, Pir.”
Around the egg lay the gifts that Maximilian and Blake had given me, arranged neatly.
I had placed all of those in the Subspace at once, but they had been returned.
‘Yes, my mind feels clearer now.’
With my long hair tied back with a pearl-white ribbon, I prepared to go find Father.
[Chaos Spirit King ‘■■■■’ asks that you wait a moment.]
[This one has something to convey to you.]
Hmm?
Why is the text gray?
Pausing in confusion, I recalled the shimmering text of the other Spirit Kings.
Only the Chaos Spirit King’s shimmering text appeared in gray.
[The Chaos Spirit King ‘■■■■’ says this is a secret conversation.]
[Before I leave, I felt I should tell you this. It will be difficult to escape the Tower of Hell without me.]
[And it will be difficult to clear the Tower of Paradise without the Luck Spirit King.]
The Chaos Spirit King usually talks nonsense, but this seemed worth listening to, so I withdrew my hand from the doorknob.
[The Chaos Spirit King ‘■■■■’ requests that you keep this secret.]
[The other Spirit Kings don’t know I’m sending you separate messages. Act naturally. This is important.]
…I suppose I’ll trust him for now.
He wouldn’t say anything that would harm me.
I deliberately yawned and sat down in front of the vanity.
‘But you Spirit Kings already know everything I think internally, don’t you? What about that?’
[The Chaos Spirit King ‘■■■■’ says it’s fine because he stirred up some ‘chaos’ just now.]
[More importantly, here’s the thing. I took a peek at the Tower of Hell the other night… and I felt an aura incredibly familiar to me flowing from it.]
[Not all of them, but if you contract with me, certain types of demons, evil spirits, genies, and so on will pass through easily. They’ll kneel of their own accord.]
“…!”
[The Chaos Spirit King ‘■■■■’ continues.]
[Black magic and the things that parasitize it are close to chaos. Just sensing my aura will make their tails droop. It becomes easier to rescue the humans trapped in the tower.]
‘That sounds wonderful. But somehow it feels like that’s not the end of it, is it?’
[The Chaos Spirit King ‘■■■■’ mentions the Grape Board.]
[Collect all the Grape Boards and contract with me. Then you’ll be able to rescue them quickly. But….]
The Chaos Spirit King trailed off.
[The Chaos Spirit King ‘■■■■’ says it’s a dilemma.]
[If you contract with me, it will become extremely difficult to contract with the Earth Spirit King afterward. There is no next Grape Board.]
Wait, there’s no next Grape Board?
[The Chaos Spirit King ‘■■■■’ says that was the price Causality demanded in exchange for upgrading the Eden Shop to premium.]
[In any case, if you use the Grape Board for a contract with me, you’ll have to find the Earth Spirit King’s true name without any hints, and that’s nearly impossible.]
[In other words, it will become difficult to collect all the Spirit Kings’ true names. You’ll save the person, but you won’t be able to close the rift.]
Before my eyes, the words ‘the sacrifice of the many for the one, or the reverse’ appeared in sequence.
‘So in the end, it’s a matter of choice.’
I’ll think about it, Chaos Spirit King.
Thank you for telling me.
‘But you see, I don’t have enough Quests to fill the Grape Board right away. Even if I want to contract with the Chaos Spirit King… realistically, won’t it be difficult to fill the Grape Board?’
[The Chaos Spirit King ‘■■■■’ says not to worry about that and pats his chest.]
