Chapter 57

Night of Day 12 since entering the gnome's warren

I fell asleep. I'm really tired. I think I fell asleep before my head even hit the ground. I went to bed before the others, but Asakura and the gnome guards are still watching over me. Today I felt the need for rest and for crashing into sleep early.

When I wake up I'm in the dream state.

The familiar training ground that I'm in now feels good. Except that I can't use it to its fullest right now. All I can do is a waiting game and hope things will be fine. I want to be and do more but I have limits.

There's no way around it. I have to make something happen. I'm totally desperate and at a dead end.

I have to find Fox Girl, where she's sleeping and wake her up. It's my best chance. She probably won't like it. But what choice do I have?

Of course I have the patience to wait for three days to heal or whatever it is. But the problem is all the loose ends and problems that are still happening during all that time. People will still die while I'm trying to heal up.

I'm in the training room. I have stored away the note pages that Fox Girl wrote in my item box area so they won't be lost or damaged. I get my weapons ready just in case. The dwarven war hammer is hanging from my belt, while I keep the fireman's axe ready.

I have no idea what will happen by anything I try so I want to plan for surprises.

Let's see how did Fox Girl do it? Getting to her for help is my only chance it seems. I have to figure out two problems.

First, where is she within the box?

And second of all, how do I get to her?

I've been going over every inch of the wall in the training room inspecting the masonry. I'm looking for anything I can use to try to find ways into other rooms. After an hour I realize that this strategy won't get anywhere.

I used the hammer also to tap places in the wall to check for secret doors or hidden spots.

The walls physically within the dream state won't help me figure out how she got from room to room. I have to go over it piece by piece and start over from the beginning. That's very difficult because of the mental block of thinking of hating to start over, but it's all I can do.

It was like she did this gravity well thing through the wall when she moved us around. So she probably had to think about where she wanted to go right? I also wondered...wait a minute. It probably wasn't a real gravity element she'd used but just felt like it from bending space time, I reasoned.

It doesn't go well so I shelf that idea for awhile. I decide to come back to it later when I'm fresher and have other perspective or more power to deal with it.

There's something I want to try first.

I open up the spatial inventory demon item box. Then after that I also open up the hidden area of the box.

I make it on my agenda to trick Fox Girl into revealing more of her skills to me. If I can emulate the paladin's skills then wouldn't it be even more useful to emulate Fox Girl's? Her skills would also be very practical I'm sure.

Fox Girl's power or one of her powers is altering reality right? That means she's probably good at illusions and stuff like that. Of course she has many tricks. She's so cunning I probably haven't even seen a tenth of her moves. Every time I see a move that she can do is a potential win for me, since I can figure out and try to take it apart. Even if I can't copy or emulate all of her moves, even if I only get one out of ten it's still a great increase in utility and power.
