Chapter 26: She Smiled to Me Complacently (2)
“Hmm…” Intensify Magic Ritual did sound good. But I didn’t think it was useful to me… Once I ran into a skillful killing ghost like Xue Qing, I would still be killed no matter how strong I was. I really didn’t think that an Intensity Magic Ritual would help me defeat a killing ghost… Come to think about it, what was the most powerful weapon I had? What was the thing I had been relying on to escape from all the dangerous situations?”
Oh… right!
“Then… can you do that?” I spitted out all my requests.
Hearing my request, Nana showed a strange look on her face and asked in surprise,
“Well, that was rather a weird request. I have never set up a Magic Ritual like this before. The theory is easy. As long as I could connect everything with each other, I’ll be able to do that… But, you sure that’s all you want?”
“That’s enough.” Since I had this ‘strength’, I would definitely take advantage of it.
“Fine, I’ll start setting it up now. But I need to tell you first, as long as the trebling compound magic ritual was set up according to your request, it would never be removed anymore. It’s like lacing up your shoes, if you wind three shoelaces together, they will be tied in a hard knot… Before I can master the quadruple compound magic ritual, you will have to use only these abilities all the time.”
“It’s fine. I’ve made up my mind. Those three abilities are already enough for me. Only the things that suit me are the best for me, don’t you think so?”
“All right… I’ll get started.” Nana didn’t deny my decision and nodded. Then she began to set up the magic ritual right away.
The shining lines on the ground started to separate with each other and form new patterns. All those layers of the lines didn’t seem chaotic but very profound to me.
After a short while, the magic ritual was set up.
The magic ritual which had used to give out pink light now started to send out light blue light. The pattern was even more complicated. “All right, now I’ve done everything I should do… And you are supposed to wake up.” Nana put on a tired look on her face after setting up the magic ritual. Then she exhaled deeply and turned around, saying,
“Don’t tell anyone what have happened here after you get out, understand?”
“Eh? What have happened here? Is there anything worth hiding…? But, I see, I won’t tell anyone.”
“Thanks. I know you are the best, Jun Jun~”
“Yeah, yeah, yeah… But, how can I wake up?”
“You should have woken up long ago. But I have told Lili to hypnotize you continually from outside. When you see me at the outside afterwards, don’t get panicky. Hmm, that person is more like Heartless Enchanting Demon…”
“Really… Then I’d like to see what you like at the outside… So, there is no need for any delay…”
“Wait a minute~” Nana suddenly hugged me. I was already tired of dodging her. So I just let her hold my head while rubbing the top of my head with her body.
“I suddenly am not willing to let you go… Don’t know when I can enter in your dream again like this… Aye…”
“Huh? Isn’t Enchanting Demon able to invade in others’ dreams all the time?”
“Well, that is true… But may I enter into your dream to visit you again, Jun Jun?” Why was she being like a shy girl and showing a bashful posture all of a sudden…
“Ahhhh, it’s up to you. It’s not like I can stop you if you really want to come. And to be honest… I kind of like you.” I scratched my face and said that out loud with my head turning away.
“Wow~~~” Ah!!!!
She put her arms around my waist fiercely all of a sudden. She pressed the back of my waist so hard as if she was going to put my entire body into hers.
Stop! Damn it! My waist, my waist is about to be broken!
“Oh my~ Jun Jun, how can you be so adorable~ I want to take you home so much~”
“Stop calling me adorable! And let go of me!”
“No! We only have a few times together. Just let me hug you~” A few times? Hmm…
I felt dizzy suddenly, feeling my consciousness disappearing… no, more like spreading.
Was I about to wake up?
The sleepy feeling gradually overwhelmed me and my eyelids kept dropping.
When I fell asleep in the reality, I would enter into my dream. Then I should be able to come back to the reality once I fell asleep in my dream.
My endless dream was finally over. I would finally return to the reality.
I couldn’t even feel Nana hugging me… No, she seemed to have let go of me.
“For the last time, Jun Jun, call my name again, OK?”
“Eh…? Nana?” I covered my head while opening my eyes with difficulty. I saw three of my fingers already disappearing. Maybe I would be totally awake after I vanished in this place.
“No, call my full name.” Full name… But wasn’t that going to…
“It’s fine, just say it. Haven’t I told you before? Even if you call me by my real name, I won’t sign the contract with you so easily. First, I’m not an amateur like Lili who hasn’t accepted the formal education. I also don’t have to be pressured by the Yata Mirror since it is already in a steady condition… I just want to hear you calling my full name, that’s all. It has been a long time someone hasn’t called me that…” I hadn’t heard her whole speech of the reasons.
At the moment, I was already in a half-awake state. I couldn’t think straight because my mind was spreading before I woke up.
However, when I saw the lonely expression on her face, I got my heart softened and called Nana’s real name as she had requested.
“Natalie·Sacbuth·Innocent…” Then, after I had called her name, Nana suddenly put on a foxy smile on her face as if her trick had just succeeded. After that, she knelt before me slowly and kissed on my foot, saying with a extremely reverent voice,
“Yes, my great master who has called my real name… I am willing to obey all of your orders. I am willing to be your servant. I won’t disrespect you or have any irrelevant thoughts… My honored master, place receive my menial contract. I am ready to be at your service.”
“What?” I suddenly felt a sharp pain from the center of my forehead. That was the exact the same feeling I had had when I had signed the contract with Lili.
Hadn’t she… agreed that she wouldn’t sign a contract with me?
“Ho ho, never trust a woman’s words completely! Jun Jun, you have so many things to learn.” There was a magic ritual showing on her forehead at the same time. But I only saw joyful look on her face instead of any sign of pain.
She smiled to me complacently.
Suddenly, I understood why she would sign a contract with me. Then I expressed my thanks to her with mixed feelings.
“Then…” Before I could finish that word, I was kissed.
Hey hey, you had just kissed on my feet. Don’t kiss my lips! It was like I had kissed my own feet!
“There is no need to thank me. Lili has only come to see me because of you. This is my token of appreciation. Also, it’ll offer help to your new abilities.”
I would like to say something else. However, the pain had already spread to my whole body while my consciousness was collapsing in a fast speed. I could feel that I was about to be awake.
“Goodbye, my little master…” At the last moment, I heard Nana bidding farewell to me.
After that, I was awake, and returned to the reality.
