Alain felt that his current self was particularly strange.
He was in what should be one of Mita's rooms. The soft pink decor was complented by all sorts of familiar furniture.
So why the "should be"... because the proportions of the surrounding furniture were all chibi-style.
And yet, his own height didn't feel out of place at all. This was one of the reasons he felt so strange.
But he clearly had no ti to dwell on such things; his attention was focused on what was in front of him.
The sky of the room—Alain felt that was no exaggeration to describe its vastness.
The sky was a screen, one that served as the dividing line between the ga and reality.
He felt like a frog at the bottom of a well; and outside the screen, his small ho in reality was the piece of the sky he could see.
"Alain! What happened all of a sudden?"
Through his gaze, he saw Millie cry out in alarm the mont she saw his real-world self collapse. Her shout also drew the attention of Misha and Miluo, who were setting out dinner plates.
"What's wrong with Alain?!"
"Sir Knight!"
The two girls, one tall and one small, also ran to his unconscious body on the balcony and helped him up.
Alain felt as if he were watching a third-person movie, with no real sense of being there.
In his current state, his perspective should be just like how a Tiny Mita would view the world outside the screen.
So, he tapped on the screen, trying to see if he could let the three girls outside know.
Soon, Miluo seed to hear sothing. She turned her head in confusion and saw him at once.
The next second, the helplessness in the girl's eyes vanished, replaced by a deep sense of novelty.
She quickly walked right up to the front of the screen, exclaiming in wonder, "Wow! So cute!"
"???"
Miluo was looking at him when she said that. It was the first ti she had ever called him cute.
"Miluo, is sothing wrong?"
The two worried girls beside her ca closer and imdiately noticed the situation inside the screen: a tiny, black-haired little person was standing in the middle of the chibi house, staring at them with dead fish eyes.
"Pfft..."
Misha didn't even have ti to be alard before she burst out laughing.
Alain's mouth twitched. He wanted to say sothing, but his lips were sealed shut against his will.
Understanding his situation, he moved his short little legs, making a comical 'tap-tap-tap' sound as he walked towards the full-length mirror in the tiny house.
"Hahahahaha! Bro, what in the world happened to you?!"
Millie wasn't as tactful as Misha and started laughing at him openly.
Looking closely, the corners of her eyes were still moist, clearly not yet recovered from the panic of seeing him faint.
He wanted to curse a few tis, but a dialogue box appeared in front of him at that mont:
[If you laugh again, I'll tell them about that incident.]
The 'tap-tap-tap' sound of the typing drew the attention of Misha and Miluo.
"That incident?"
The two of them looked at Millie with suspicion, causing her to shrink back.
How was she supposed to know which incident he ant? Millie considered the number of morally questionable things she and Alain had done together to be far too high.
"Ahem... Bro, let's not talk about that for now."
The hat-wearing girl imdiately beca serious. Seemingly calm, but in reality fidgeting anxiously, she urged Alain, "Do you know what's going on right now?"
"...I've beco Tiny Alain?"
He looked down at his own short body.
For now, he could only be certain of one thing: He could now get intimate with a Tiny Mita normally.
"From the look in your eyes, I know exactly what you're thinking," Misha said with a light smile, which piqued Miluo's curiosity.
"What is Alain thinking?"
"Er... It's better if you don't know."
"Huh? Big Sister Misha is so stingy!" Miluo pouted.
"Alright, alright..." The long-haired girl soothed the younger one while turning her gaze to Alain. "Do you rember what happened to make you like this?"
Alain recounted everything he had seen and heard to the three of them. Of course, since two of them were unaware of the perpetrator behind the dreams, he also explained the events that had transpired before.
Millie clapped her hands in sudden realization. "So you're saying! You were possessed by the Consciousness Entity and then pulled into the ga?"
"This isn't a good situation at all." Misha looked down, lost in worried thought.
"Then! Alain, have you checked if you can still use your 'superpowers'?"
Miluo's question reminded Alain. With a thought, the Safety Guard panel promptly popped up.
The Intranet Firewall, a skill with a 0% progress bar, was currently grayed out. This indicated that he was not in a dream right now.
From the looks of it, at least the Safety Guard could be used normally.
In that case, his current state was likely that the dream perpetrator, through the white strip-like object that possessed his body, used its dream ability to link him to the ga world and then forcibly pulled his consciousness in?
It seed that strip-like object was the Consciousness Entity.
"I can," Alain first answered the question about whether the Safety Guard was usable.
"That's good!"
Misha breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, but then another thought occurred to her. "Then, doesn't that an my dear is going to the ga world all by himself this ti? Can he still return normally ?"
"He should... No, he definitely can."
Alain looked at the portal in the last slot of his progress bar skills. He just needed to get the progress bar to 100% this ti, and he could return to reality just the sa.
But...
Alain thought of the dream perpetrator, who had reached its hand into reality even while within the ga world. Although he was alone this ti, Alain still intended to try and deal with the dream perpetrator, and the Consciousness Entity it held in its grasp.
The Consciousness Entity was most likely a virus. It was too dangerous and absolutely could not be left alone; it would cause endless trouble.
Just being pulled into the ga world this ti without any preparation had caught him completely off guard.
"Then, my dear," Misha, outside the screen, took a deep breath, having apparently thought of a plan. "I suggest you head to Version 1.15 first and get to our base of operations. There, you'll find the Short-Haired Mita, who is just as kind, reliable, intelligent, and courageous as I am. We exchanged information before, so she knows about your ring. Letting her help you adjust your route for what cos next, and discussing the dangers of subsequent versions with her, is the best course of action."
Millie listened carefully, and only after her best friend had finished did she interject, "Then, this dream secret-keeper you guys ntioned, aren't they supposed to et with Alain this ti?"
"On that point, I don't think it makes much difference."
As a Mita who spent all her ti in the Nightmare of 1.3B, Miluo had also developed a strong heart.
" If she wants to find Sir Knight... perhaps, she can do it anyti. After all, she's already interfered with reality. "
Alain sighed, and a dialogue box popped up, "That's true..."
"Anyway! My dear. What you need to do is get to Version 1.15, while prioritizing your own safety. If you encounter any danger along the way, just co back here."
Misha looked at the ring on the tiny person's finger.
"The version save function should also be working normally."
The tiny Alain smiled as he saw the three girls outside the screen. Although their eyes still held hidden worries, they were doing their best to strategize for him.
"Wait for to co back."
"Hey! Bon voyage~"
"Good bro, that 'ga' just now was really interesting! Let's play again when you get back!"
"Go, Sir Knight!!!" Newest update provided by n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟
Amid the three girls' farewells, he moved towards the front door.
How heartwarming... Alain grumbled to himself.
The next second, he felt himself being clicked by a mouse.
"Wow! Bestie, Miluo! Look! Alain is sending us hearts!"
"It's true, so cute!"
"Miluo wants to try too~"
With a series of rapid mouse clicks, hearts began popping up over his head. The three girls squealed with excitent as if they were looking at a digital pet.
Alain fell silent.
