Fantasy Clock～Dream Ruler～

In the cave where the girl was sleeping, Su Luoyang accidentally saw the letter left for Elus. The writer of the letter seemed to have expected that other people would read it, so he tampered with the feather—in the eyes of the cultist, the letter would appear to be a mess of words. What Elus will see is Charlotte's heartfelt farewell to Elus.

The letter that Su Ruoyang read was about what happened one hundred and fifty years ago, and he seemed to want future generations to know what happened at that time. In addition, he also wrote a spell to wake up the girl.

...

In the hazy dream, a pair of hands gently shook his shoulders. Xia Yinci gasped lazily, squinted her eyes and raised her head. Su Ruoyang bent down curiously, and put his head very close to Xia Yinci, his eyes were staring at him in astonishment and panic.

Su Ruoyang's eyes drifted away from Xia Yinci's face, and stayed on her red lips for a long time, her heart was beating like it was about to jump into her throat. He swallowed, and gently raised his hands, as if to prove his innocence. The two of them had blushing flushes on their faces, and they stepped back at the same time, staggering each other's sight. Su Ruoyang coughed and sat down by the window.

The tea cat shrugged its head, took advantage of the situation and sat on the outer seat, and took a look at the two of them. As if even breathing was troublesome, she rested her head on her arm.

"That... Elus has successfully woken up." Su Ruoyang used her chaotic brain to search for topics, trying to divert Xia Yinci's attention. Also because of the confusion in his brain, he failed to notice the change of expression on Xia Yinci's face, "However, we left before Elus woke up...well, we still have to leave her alone at this time... …If someone is around, I can’t express my emotions.”

"I didn't expect that the current town is so different from the town in Elus' memory. If it weren't for the tea cat, I probably wouldn't be able to find Elus's location anyway..." Su Luoyang Seeing that Xia Yinci didn't talk to her, she talked about her short experience in that world a little selfishly.

For some reason Xia Yinci seemed to be getting more and more impatient, when Su Ruoyang was about to continue chattering, she suddenly stood up and picked up the bag on the seat at the same time.

"I already know about this kind of thing, so I don't need to go into such details. If it's okay, I'll go back." Xia Yinci's words made Su Ruoyang a little confused. Naturally, he didn't know where he had offended Xia Yinci, and he didn't know that after Xia Yinci fell asleep on the table, he had already met his future self in the dream world.

At this time, Xia Yinci also stopped the steps she was about to leave with some concern. She bit her lower lip lightly, and glanced at Su Ruoyang slightly.

You shouldn't be angry with Su Luoyang, right? Obviously, I concealed more from him.

"However, sometimes you have to move on."

Elus' words suddenly echoed in Xia Yinci's mind. One day, I will have to confess everything, right?

"That...sorry." Xia Yinci dropped such an unclear sentence, and left the coffee shop regardless of whether Su Ruoyang cared. The copper bell on the door made a crisp sound. Su Ruoyang looked at Xia Yinci's back and instinctively wanted to stand up, but something restrained his thoughts and made him sit back weakly. .

It was a sense of distance that seemed to grow further and further away.

＊＊＊

Elus woke up from the dream, and in a blink of an eye, she was sitting in front of the bleak tavern, and a man she didn't know was standing in front of her, showing a confused look. She gently rubbed her cheeks wet with tears, and looked at the man in front of her in puzzlement.

...

Elus, with red eyes, sat down at the corner of the dilapidated tavern against the wall, and looked around thoughtfully. A middle-aged man wearing only a thin long-sleeved upper body handed over a dilapidated cup with several obvious dents, and white steam hung softly over the cup.

"What's wrong? Why are you crying alone at the door of the tavern?" If you ask in this way, the girl in front of you will definitely not answer anything. The man sighed softly, and his eyes shifted to the girl. There was still a layer of tears in the girl's eyes, which made people look pitiful and pitiful.

The man calmly sat down at the table opposite Elus, and sat down naturally, changing his way of speaking.

"Don't worry too much. I'm the store manager here. Adventurers in the town often gather here. Everyone treats this place as their home. So you don't have to be so restrained."

"...Are you the manager of the tavern now?" Elus raised her watery eyes and blinked at the man in front of her, looking like a regular customer in the past.

"Well... I've been here since twenty years ago." The man was a little confused, and the girl's words really made him puzzled. This girl is only twelve or thirteen years old, but she looks like she has been here before, and the store manager was not herself when she came here before. No matter how I heard it, I felt that the girl made a mistake.

However, Elusi's eyebrows were slightly bent, and such a bitter and yearning smile appeared on the face of a 12-year-old child, which was really a bit apologetic.

"The power of magic comes from the dream...isn't it?" Elus murmured softly the words mentioned in Charlotte's letter, "In this case, winning the domination war and gaining the power to control reality is Can you defeat that hiding demon king?"

Whether a story is funny or not, it always ends when it's time to end. But when one story ends, a new one begins. The so-called "end" is only the end for a certain person.

So, who is this ending for?
