"Eh?"
Cyrene wasn't surprised by the answer, but the strange sensation on her hand was unexpected.
She looked down at the wide palm pressed tightly against hers. Compared to his, her own hand was much smaller, making a truly seamless fit impossible.
"Mr. Ranger, you..."
Cyrene paused, unsure how to describe her current feelings.
"Are you a real person?"
Question: What do you do when your imaginary friend turns out to be real?
Answer: This young maiden's imagination is quite sothing.
"If I'm not a real person, am I a dead one?"
Leon just found it a bit baffling.
"I've been telling you I'm real all along."
"So we really are just in different tis and spaces..."
Cyrene murmured to herself, a little lost in thought.
So that's how it is. It was all real. Mr. Ranger wasn't a fignt of her imagination... How wonderful.
Cyrene thought so from the bottom of her heart, and the corners of her mouth turned up involuntarily. The smile that had vanished in her daze returned to her face.
"Is there a point to us holding hands like this?"
Seeing that she had no intention of letting go, Leon asked with a complete lack of charm.
"Nope."
Cyrene shook her head with a smile.
"But..."
Her cool, soft skin pressed against his. Cyrene's fingers quietly pried open the gaps between his and, catching him off guard, slipped inside quite slyly.
"For a cute girl, the ritual of a promise is also a very important part~"
Cyrene said, her fingers locking tightly over the back of his hand.
"Ritual, huh."
Leon had no objection.
It was normal for soone strong to have their own little quirks. He understood completely.
High stats are king, let tell you! The strong get to utterly humiliate the weak—especially the stubborn weak!
"Speaking of which, can you get out of this mory Bubble, or this place? Like those mokeepers?"
Leon felt he had found a better partner than the big goose mascot. Although he didn't know how a person from the past inside a mory Bubble could move around freely. But if Polka could do it, there was no reason others couldn't.
"If you can get out, want to co with ? I can take you to find your lost mories, and that... Amphoreus place?"
Leon made a suggestion, but the mont the words left his mouth, he felt sothing vanish from his hand.
Cyrene was gone, her departure as unannounced as her arrival. His consciousness had also returned to reality at so point.
Leon felt it was a bit of a sha.
"Cyrene had a big nightmare."
She, this after-sales service, missed the chance to connect with the character with the best stats. Going from a dedicated support to a generalist one, we're practically strangers now!
"What in the world did you just do?!"
Seeing he was back, Phantylia approached and asked, a look of terror on her face.
"What's wrong?" Leon glanced at her.
"What's wrong? You just drew in the mosia from the entire Garden! What on earth is in that mory Bubble?"
This was the first ti Phantylia had ever seen such a spectacular display of 'mory.' That a quantity of mosia of this magnitude didn't just drive him insane was simply unheard of!
Hearing this question, Leon ignored her. Instead, he imdiately chose to send his consciousness back into the mory Bubble in his hand.
As expected, he was once again t with a pitch-black scene. He tried calling out a few tis, but unlike before, he received no response from Cyrene.
"Is it because it's lacking mosia?"
Returning to reality, Leon recalled Phantylia's words and ca to a conclusion about why the mory Bubble was acting strangely.
"Forget it, doesn't matter."
Leon chose to keep the mory Bubble for himself.
Thinking wasn't sothing a person who was truly confident in their own stats should be doing. Anyway, all the mysteries were at Amphoreus. Once he got there, he believed an answer to everything would be found.
"Keep up."
Leon beckoned for Phantylia to follow, then tensed his core and smashed a fist into the floor!
The floor cracked on impact, and he jumped down through the hole. Too lazy to find the proper path, he decided to rely on instinct and forge his own way to regroup with Black Swan.
Ordinarily, without using the power of a Path, it would be impossible to destroy creations within the Garden so easily. They were protected by mosia as armor, but he had just used up the entire Garden's mosia to activate the bubble in a daze. As a result, the current Garden was just a facade, incredibly fragile on the inside. It shattered with a touch, which made things much more convenient for him.
...
...
The Garden of Recollection.
"Heavens be praised, we finally found it!"
After Boothill shot a few ddling mokeepers, he saw Black Swan nod in approval at the mory Bubbles arranged in the room and exclaid with excitent.
"You sure it's Holstein's?"
Boothill confird again and again.
"Yes, I've just examined it."
Black Swan said as she collected this mory Bubble along with the others in the room.
"OK, once we et up with my buddy, we'll blow this damn Garden to kingdom co!"
Boothill grinned, feeling ecstatic.
"Going to blow it up after collecting all the mory Bubbles in the entire Garden?"
A voice rang out as the ceiling collapsed, and a familiar figure appeared before the two.
"Yo, buddy! You ain't hurt, are ya?"
Seeing the newcor, Boothill laughed and went over to slap him on the shoulder.
"You're really sothing else. Not only did you find a mokeeper to work with... you also held off the Emanator of Rembrance all by yourself. How strong was that Emanator?"
"Super weak. Didn't even let go all out."
Leon told the truth.
"I feel like even using a support on her was overestimating her. For that, I apologize."
"Well, I'll be damned. You're just ridiculously strong!"
Boothill clicked his tongue.
He truly envied his strength. But envy was just envy; he felt no jealousy at all.
Without a doubt, Leon's actions were worthy of his power. It was perfectly understandable that the Reignbow Arbiter would recognize him!
"Have all the mory Bubbles been collected?"
Leon asked.
"If they're all collected, let's pull out. I'll blow up this Garden afterward, and this mission will be a complete success."
"They've all been collected."
Black Swan nodded.
"Quick work."
Good, it seed the two of them hadn't been idle while he was fighting Oblivion.
"By the way, did you find your own mory Bubble?"
Leon rembered sothing and looked at Black Swan.
"No."
Black Swan shook her head, also a bit puzzled.
"It's strange. Logically, we've turned this Garden upside down, so there shouldn't be anything missed."
Black Swan felt sothing was off.
"But to this day, I still haven't found the mory Bubble I lost."
"Honestly, I'm starting to wonder if I made a mistake?"
"But I perford a divination for this before I ca. According to the aning held by the cards, I'm certain that mory Bubble is right here, right now."
"The bubble you're looking for... is it this one?"
Leon thought for a mont, then took out the mory Bubble he had picked up from Oblivion.
"Yes, that's the one!"
Black Swan was startled, speaking with surprise.
