Extra 5-Luvia's Dream

(The story of this chapter takes place from Chapter 1991 to the end of Volume 6, when Luvia returns to Tobesk by train from Green Lake City.)

"Oh~"

The train swayed slightly as it moved forward. The purple-eyed girl at the table stretched and then closed the diary in front of her.

The small box was illuminated by the gas lamp on the wall. Behind the small table was the bed, with suitcases placed on the side of the bed. As for the side of the table, curtains covered the side windows of the train.

But after finishing writing her diary, Luvia quickly opened the curtains, looked at herself reflected in the glass, and looked at the wild scenery passing quickly outside:

"It's already night, we should reach Tobesk soon."

The layout of the box is compact, but it is adequate as a residence for train travel. The hats hanging on the wall swayed with the vibrations of the train, and the wooden texture of the floor looked particularly textured under the dim light.

The pen was placed on the thick diary with a brown leather cover. Luvia had never told Shade that she had the habit of writing a diary, but writing a diary was something that educated girls of this era would do, and it was only strange. It would be weird for Shade to think that serious people don’t keep diaries:

"If Shade knew that I wrote a diary, he would definitely want to read it, but I won't show it to him."

Thinking of Shade, she held her head and couldn't help but smile. The charming purple eyes looked outside the glass, but also saw the train compartment reflected on the glass window.

The Seer Association reserved a first-class carriage for the fortune-tellers from the Tobesk area who were returning from Green Lake City, and Luvia was naturally assigned one. It's not very luxurious, but at least it's comfortable, but train travel is actually not very interesting. She already misses Shade who doesn't know what he is doing now:

"I wonder if Meghan and Audrey can take that bold step. Since Helen and Grace have set an example, they should also have the courage."

She seemed to be able to see the entanglement between Shade and the Witch sisters, and for a moment she didn't know what she felt in her heart:

"Sometimes, I feel weird myself."

As I thought to myself, I felt vaguely sleepy. So, as the train rocked gently and rhythmically, she lay on her desk and fell asleep.

Suddenly, the ground shook violently. Luvia opened her eyes in a daze and found that it was not the train shaking, but an earthquake.

This is not a train. The sky is full of yellow sand sweeping over the dilapidated city under the dim sky. The location she was in was like Saint Teresa Square, but only the houses on the No. 6 side of the square were still intact, while the other half had completely disappeared into the yellow sand.

The sand hitting her face was painful. She raised her hands to cover her face and looked up. The sense of ruin in the world actually made her want to cry. It's just that she was standing on the ground rather than at a high place, and because of the obstruction of wind and sand, she couldn't see clearly what was going on in the distance in Tobesk. She could only see some blurry and crooked buildings standing at the edge of her field of vision.

The sun is actually black, surrounded by white edges and a red halo. The black sun is like the entrance of a hole, flowing a fiery red line downward:

"Like Shade's unformed mythical lock. What's going on here? Is this a dream?"

While she was confused about the current situation, she suddenly noticed that in front of her, near No. 6 Saint Teresa Square, there was a woman standing there with her back to her, wearing a dirty robe.

The woman's waist-length brown hair was already tangled due to filth, and she stood facing the door as if she was crying.

Luvia thought she looked like a scavenger or a poor homeless woman. But looking at the other person's back, she felt inexplicably familiar. Shaking her head to clear away the weird thoughts, Luvia asked:

"Hello, may I ask where this is."

The woman turned around when she heard the voice. The moment Luvia saw the other person's face, she was startled.

But at this moment, another voice came from behind:

"Hello, you two. Where is this place? I remember I was supposed to be here."

Luvia was stunned and turned to look at the third person. When the third lady saw Luvia and the woman in the shabby robe, she was also stunned.

The new woman was dressed in a gorgeous silver-purple robe and a large pointed hat. The aura that filled her body was stronger than any sorceress from the Sixth Age that Luvia knew. Not only was she powerful, but the holy feeling in her body even reminded her of the believers of the Toy God who had become angels she had seen in the underground ruins of Tobesk; and the feeling of twisting fate like a black hole, and It is more powerful than the current president of the Prophet Association she met in Green Lake City, the thirteen-ring warlock "Mr. Crystal" Mr. Adelaida Lenormand.

But the other party's face was very blurry. Even if the other party came closer in the yellow sand, Luvia still couldn't see the true appearance of this powerful lady.

She licked her lips that were a little dry in the wind and sand, but Luvia Anat had never been a stupid person. Because she saw the face of the first sorceress in shabby robes, she also guessed who this lady in gorgeous robes with long brown hair was. The other party's height, body shape, and hair color were exactly the same as mine and the lady at the door of No. 6 Saint Teresa Square.

Looking at the sorceress in front of Gate 6 of the dilapidated Saint Teresa Square again, she saw her eyes were red and she looked at the two people with doubts in her eyes. Luvia knew that in her eyes, she and the sorceress in gorgeous robes had a different relationship. The faces should all be blurry.

Luvia understood all this in an instant, and the lady in the ragged robe also said:

"This is the city of Tobesk, the city of the end. It is the last city in the entire material world in the post-apocalyptic era. Are you coming from a distant place? I'm sorry, this is the last refuge. There is no future. .”

Luvia and the vague-faced pointed-hatted sorceress looked at each other - although Luvia couldn't see each other's eyes, Luvia asked with confusion:

"Doomsday? Sorry, I just woke up. What happened at Doomsday?"

The lady in the shabby robe was about to speak, but was stopped by the lady in the pointed hat:

"Don't answer her. Although neither you nor she will remember all this after waking up from the dream, you can't let her know the truth of the doomsday now, even if it only leaves a superficial impression."

The word "wake up from a dream" entered my ears, and the world seemed to shake for a moment.

Thus, in the eyes of the long-haired Luvia from the "past life" in a shabby robe, and the long-haired Luvia from the "present life" who fell asleep in the train, the blurred faces of everyone became clear. The face of the third lady in the pointed hat is still Luvia. Luvia in the shabby robe looked the most mature, Luvia who was asleep in "reality" was in the middle, and Luvia in the pointed hat was the youngest and most beautiful. This even reminded Luvia of her eighteen-year-old self.

The three Luvia looked at each other, and the dirty Luvia suddenly pounced on them:

"You are, you are what happened in the future? Did I succeed? How many times did you do it? Did I save everything? I am not a destroyer, right? I didn't do anything wrong, right!"

Luvia didn't know what the other person was talking about, and she didn't know whether she should dodge when "she" was coming towards her. But Luvia, who was wearing a pointed hat, hugged her dirty self first with a gentle smile:

"It's okay, it's okay, why are you crying? I don't remember myself being such a fragile person. Doesn't the presence of the two of us here mean that the future still exists?"

Her voice is really gentle:

"You did something wrong, yes, we all know, I really did something wrong. But fortunately, our mistake created an outsider who shouldn't exist. He replaced us and finished what we wanted to do. .It’s okay, it’s all okay.”

"Really?"

The dirty Luvia sobbed and let go of Luvia's pointed hat, and Luvia, who looked at the two of them, finally understood:

"You...are you from the past?"

She pointed to the dirty sorceress.

"Are you the future?"

She pointed to the pointed hat sorceress.

"But how could the past be so apocalyptic that I don't remember my past time looping?"

Her eyes widened, and she suddenly thought of the unknowable relic [Time of Retrospect], but neither the past nor the future herself would answer this question for her.

Dirty Luvia looked at Pointed Hat Luvia eagerly:

"Someone saved the world?"

"Saved me too."

The purple-eyed girl in the pointed hat showed an increasingly gentle expression, and then motioned her to ask the still confused Luvia:

"She's going through it and she knows it."

"Who saved us?"

So the dirty Luvia asked Luvia again. The purple-eyed girl wanted to say "Who is the outsider created by our mistakes?", but the look of the detective holding the cat immediately jumped into her head.

She breathed heavily, still unable to fully accept the scene before her. She didn't know if this was just a dream, or something else:

"He is a very strange man, very greedy, but he is also very good to me. He is really good, and he is my chosen lover."

The dirty Luvia nodded slightly. She still wanted to ask questions, but Luvia also had her own questions.

She asked the pointed hat Luvia, her purple eyes were scrutinizing:

"Since you are unwilling to say what the end is, then at least tell me, what is the future like?"

"You won't remember anything when you wake up, so why are you obsessed with the future?"

The lady in the pointed hat asked, but looking at those stubborn purple eyes, she smiled with relief:

"As expected of me. The future is not bad, at least I think it is not bad. But he can't say that."

"Do you know that it's hateful to only half-talk?"

"But this is a fortune teller."

The lady in the pointed hat is still smiling, and that smile does not blend in with the yellow sand sky here at all:

"Don't worry about the future. Look, we were all in this mess in the past. Don't you and I in the future look like we are living a comfortable life?"

She pointed at the dirty Luvia again, but the latter was not happy at all:

"But is it a dream, or are the three periods of time really coming together? I don't understand, I don't understand at all."

Luvia didn't understand either, but she at least knew that she didn't have the ability to make time converge now, so she looked at the lady in the pointed hat:

"Is this a dream or reality? Did you make us meet?"

"No, absolutely not."

The lady in the pointed hat shook her head:

"I just changed my clothes and got ready to go to the ladies' gathering and party at night. Do you know how important that party is?"

Dirty Luvia and Luvia both looked at her, so the purple-eyed girl in the pointed hat said seriously:

"Queen Agelina, married to Hamilton of Rejed. Tonight is their wedding night. All the ladies will go to the Queen's bedroom to participate in the banquet with Shade, while Her Majesty the Queen can only stay outside. Guarding the door, she spent the first night of her wedding, as well as the second and third nights. After all, the party would last for several days. Lesia even suggested that Agelina be responsible for delivering food during the middle. Such an interesting activity, Why should I be delayed doing other things?”

Luvia opened her mouth slightly, not understanding what she was saying at all. She did understand a little bit, but she just didn't understand how much Lesia "hated" her sister. Something else must have happened in the future.

And the dirty Luvia asked:

"So, Agelina became the queen again? The Cavendish Princess with huge ambitions once again swept across the entire Old Continent."

"I can't answer your other questions, but she is indeed a queen. However, if you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight."

Pointed hat Luvia showed a mysterious smile.

"It seems that this is also the destined fate."

Dirty Luvia sighed softly. Luvia listened to these incredible words suspiciously and asked again:

"If it wasn't you, then what on earth was this dream about?"

"The established destiny has been greatly changed. Although I have no memory of having this dream in the past, I guess it should be just after the Battle of Green Lake, and Shade knows his origin. The hands of the stranger, let There has been an even greater deviation in the trajectory of history. Red Butterfly, who was not supposed to exist even after the Battle of Middleburg, actually became the chosen one in space. This is the first time in all the Sixth Era. So fate Amidst the chaos, we girls and ladies, who have a strong connection with time, space and destiny, met unexpectedly."

"Women, did you really give it to a man? What you just said were really male personal pronouns?"

Dirty Luvia's eyes widened in disbelief:

"Is the outsider a man?"

"That was my choice, so it's your choice too."

Although other issues were important, Luvia reminded her seriously:

"Don't look unhappy. This will make me feel like I'm questioning my feelings. I don't know what you think I did wrong, but I definitely didn't do anything wrong by choosing him."

"Yes, absolutely nothing wrong."

The gentle Luvia in the pointed hat also smiled and nodded.

"Then the future."

Dirty Luvia still wanted to ask, but Luvia, who already understood everything, shook her head:

“Don’t ask, you’ll meet the right person.”

"No need to ask, fate will reveal everything. Although those painful things are still happening, at least he saved me."

The dirty girl pursed her lips and looked at the two of them:

"So, the future"

"I don't know the longer-term future, but at least I am happy at this moment."

"The future has been changed, and those who should be saved have been saved. There has been a slight deviation in the end, and the mistakes we made have been made up for. Yes, we are very happy."

Tears had already fallen on the dirty girl's face:

"Okay, great, this is better than a dream."

Luvia with the pointed hat looked at her with a sad expression, and then held Luvia's hand:

"In my opinion, I am your future. But for you, you can't be sure whether this moment is a dream or reality. Your future may not be what I said."

They were both soothsayers, and they all understood what the lady in the pointed hat was saying. However, the purple eyes of Luvia with the pointed hat looked at Luvia with even more intense sadness:

"So, please hold on to Shade's hand. Please hold on to his hand."

Luvia heard something wrong from her tone:

"What do you mean? What will happen to Shade in the future? What do you want to remind me? Will Shade and I be separated? How did you achieve the future you have?"

"If you don't want to lose him, you must hold on to his hand!"

The world filled with yellow sand and the two Luvias began to become blurry, and this dream seemed to be over.

"Can the world really be saved in the future?"

The dirty Luvia was still asking questions, and her purple eyes began to cry again.

"Believe in him, and believe in Iluna Bayas, she has never been your enemy. Don't be bound by responsibilities anymore, leave it all to him!"

The lady in the pointed hat answered the question, but gritted her teeth and said to the dirty Luvia:

"And you, yes, you, the past me, can't you keep your mouth shut? Do you know how many more people you let your future self have around you with your casual words?"

Luvia also widened her eyes and turned to look at her past self:

"what did you say?"

The crying girl also gave the answer:

"What do you want to ask? Could it be, yes, if the witches in the Witch Council want it?"

"Okay, so it's you!"

Bang-dang~bang-dang~bang-dang~bang-dang~

"What?"

Some sleepy girls suddenly raised their heads and looked at the train compartment under the gas lamp. The memory of the dream faded away like an ebbing tide, and I felt a little lost. I looked down at my arm that was numb from the pressure. After my arm left the table, for some reason, I found a piece of gravel on the table.

"Where did it come from?"

In this lonely and cold moment, Shade's figure jumped into her head again. Instead of thinking about whether he was dreaming just now, he lay down on the table again, resting his head on his left arm again, looking at the wooden texture of the desk:

"Xia De~"

The fingers of his right hand fiddled with the pen, letting it roll around in front of his eyes. I miss the knight in my heart, I miss his arms, I miss his warmth, I miss everything about him:

"Xia De~"

She bit her lip and clenched her fist unconsciously. She would definitely hold his hand tightly, hold it firmly, and never give up.

"I remember that there seemed to be a coat from Shade in the box."

【What do you want to do? 】

"She" asked softly. A transparent figure with long hair appeared behind Luvia who was sitting at the table, but she didn't notice it at all.

"What do you think about sleeping with me in my arms?"

The blushing fortune teller lady said to herself, but "she" just chuckled and looked at the figure in front of her with nostalgia:

【Turns out, it was that dream.】

She doesn't know the past, she doesn't know the future. "She" has seen the future, "she" knows that both she and "she" have grasped the future.
