(MTL)  Episode 18.

* * *

It was in darkness.

In the pitch black darkness where I can't see a single finger.

'Is it a dream?'

No one told me, but I knew this wasn't real.

Because it was a completely different feeling from reality.

It was a strange sensation, as if floating in the air, as if submerged in water and swimming.

How long will I be bewildered for a while?

The light spread like a firefly from her toes.

'Ah, I look like a three-year-old Erilot.'

I raised my head and looked around.

Then the landscape comes into view.

I was standing among the thorns. Red roses are in full bloom all over the bushes.

“Once you find your way… … Ah?"

Without saying a word, I was able
to do it properly.

'I guess it's really a dream.'

His voice is very young, but his pronunciation is right.

'Well, okay. Let's find a way.'

It's so dark and cold here.

Once I walked towards the front. It was dark, but not to the point that I couldn't walk.

how long did you walk

In the distance, I saw a door emitting light.

My steps got a little faster. In the end, I almost ran.

I finally reached the door where the light came out,

[Not that one.]

—Someone grabbed my wrist.

The face of the person holding me was engulfed in darkness.

Only the silhouette and the hand are looming.

A woman in a dress.

His hands are scarred, but he looks quite young.

[I'm afraid, but trust me.]

“… … .”

[Even though I can't tell you everything, I'm your-]

“Mom.”

I stretched out my finger and pointed at her.

This pattern is often seen in novels.

Usually, in times like these, the people who say things like 'I'm not there' or 'Come this way' are almost always dead mothers.

[Baby, I-]

“Actually, I have tremendous power, but unfortunately I died, and the pattern that was watching me with my soul?”

[…] … .]

She was silent for a moment.

For some reason, there is a sense of absurdity in the silence.

[Sorry to disappoint you. I'm not your mother—]

“Then it’s Erilot.”

[…] … .]

“The unfortunate dead character brought me from another world, and the pattern I was watching with my soul hoping to change my life?”

[…] … .]
