(Tsuki POV)
*A few monts ago*
??
I enjoyed Aniue's warmth as I cuddled closer to him, watching the mory scene of us making dinner together.
Just as I was in the middle of reminiscing about that particular mory, the resistance I felt leaning against Aniue disappeared suddenly and I fell on my back.
I sat up and looked around, realising that Aniue had completely disappeared, causing to panic.
Did soone kidnap him? Where did Aniue go? If soone really tried to take Aniue from ...
"Nii-chan! Nii-chan? What's wrong, you were spacing out over there?"
I turned back to look at the mory scene, this was sothing I do not rember happening.
The other Nii-chan reached out and patted the other 's head, "Sorry, I was just thinking about so things. How's the rice?"
No… This was not how it went.
Since I had taken the mory potion before this, I rembered everything that happened in perfect detail. Such an interaction between myself and Aniue never happened.
Eh? I'm setting the table? Aniue was the one who set the table here, not ... What is going on?
Areh? Aniue is looking around like he's confused? This…
Did Aniue send himself to the mory world?
No, if Aniue wanted to do it, he would have definitely told before doing so. Sothing's definitely wrong here, I can feel it.
I moved towards the mory version of Aniue, reaching out my hand to try and touch him. As expected, my hand simply phased through Aniue as though he wasn't there.
I tried the sa with the other only to et with the sa results.
It seems like I still can't interact with the mory, so what caused Aniue to disappear like that? Was this the next phase of the process for Aniue to regain his mories? Am I stuck here until Aiue finishes rembering everything? But it looks like he is in full control of himself within the mory, would the mory even be the sa?
I decided to watch for a little longer, gasping when I saw Aniue materialise a ball of light in front of him.
It wasn't surprising that Aniue could do that since it's still Aniue who is in control, but that it is an indication that the scene I'm witnessing in front of was no longer just a mory playback anymore.
I was also most definitely not prepared when I saw Aniue reveal his powers to the mory , even going so far as revealing the future to her as well.
Listening to Aniue say that he would not leave while embracing … I felt complicated emotions welling up within .
It felt like Aniue was saying it to , but it also felt like he was saying it to soone who was not .
Ok fine, I was definitely jealous of mory and was wishing so hard that I could change places with her.
That feeling was suppressed when Aniue started bathing with and asked if there was sothing I wanted.
Oh no… If I knew myself back then, there would be one thing I would definitely try and ask Aniue for…
"Ummm… In that case… Can Nii-chan… Make my breasts bigger?"
I knew it!!!
Nooooo!! Stop!! Don't look at like that Aniue!! It's normal for girls like to want that ok?! And I thought having bigger breasts might attract Ani-- NOOO!! It definitely wasn't for sothing impure!! I swear!!
I want to bury myself in a hole now!
Eh? Aniue… Actually did it? Aniue can do that? I thought you needed so kind of special potion or sothing… Unnn… It's Aniue after all…
I turned to look at mory 's chest and...
Uwaaa!! An entire cup size bigger?! It's the size I've always wished for!! I'm absolutely jealous!! Switch with !!!
Gnununu… I definitely will ask Aniue to do that to when he cos back! Just you wait, other !
Aniue smiled at the other who was currently giddy with happiness, "You know… Maybe staying here for a while isn't that bad."
Eh?
There was the sound of breaking glass and the space suddenly turned white, the mory Aniue and myself disappearing into thin air along with the rest of the scene, leaving alone in the white space.
I waited for a few minutes expecting a scene change, but nothing happened even after a long while.
Rembering Aniue's lessons, I used my Quarks to scan my surroundings, only to realise that this was no longer the mory space that I was in just a few monts ago but a completely different space.
Was I teleported to sowhere else?
I widened the range of my scan and the results were the sa.
I'm not sure if it was of any significance that this happened right after Aniue said those words. Could that space understand that Aniue had the intention to stay and it trapped him in there? Was this whole thing a trap for Aniue?
Unnn… But that also ans this space was not Aniue's mindscape where his mories were stored and instead, it's probably so kind of alternate space masquerading as Aniue's mindscape and showing us things from his mind.
That might explain why we were watching Aniue's mories from a third person's perspective instead of the normal first person's perspective like the other test subjects.
If that is true, the possibility that soone had tempered with Aniue's potion is high. But who could have done that?
I do not believe Brendan could have done sothing like this. Though I still do not trust him completely, I don't think he has the skill to temper with the potion and make this without external help. There's also the fact that he gains absolutely nothing by doing this too.
Then again, all this might just be caused by Aniue himself, considering it's Aniue after all.
But if this was indeed soone trying to inconvenience Aniue, I will definitely find that person and rip them apart limb from limb!
At this point, I can only assu that Aniue has been taken and was trapped in an illusory space, probably showing things he wanted to see to keep him from breaking out by himself.
I need to rescue him… But how?
Gunununu… There's no use wondering about this by myself here, I need to break out of my own prison first.
Directing my concentration to a single point, I tore open a hole in the space and leapt out before it closed shut behind .
My vision flashed white and the next thing I knew, there was a stab of pain in my forehead that caused to recoil back.
My vision adjusted itself and I found Diao Chan glaring at with an obvious bump on her head.
"I knew you were a hard headed person but I didn't think you had a hard head too…" She groaned, rubbing the bump on her head delicately.
"Sorry," I apologised sincerely.
I must have smacked into her when I jerked awake from escaping that alternate space, though I wonder why the Witch was hovering over .
"If you're out, Master must be waking up soon as well, right?" Brendan asked, watching carefully. "You looked to be quite distressed in the last few monts so senior sister Diao Chan was checking up on you."
I shook my head, "Sothing happened to Aniue while inside his mory space, I believe soone or sothing had hijacked his mory world and trapped him in another one."
"Master was kidnapped? Is He in danger?" Manami gasped.
"Only in the taphysical sense," I corrected. "The world is basically all an illusion that exists in Aniue's mind. I'm not sure of all the details, but I believe it operates on the principle of showing Aniue what he wants so that he does not want to leave. We need to go in and break him out."
"And how do we do that?" Lian Li demanded, clearly upset that her Master was not safe.
I raised up the bottle that Aniue had drunk from, "We'll need to go to the sa place as Aniue did. Be careful not to get trapped in your own fantasy yourselves..."
Brendan frowned at , "But… How does that even work? Isn't this a mory restoration potion? We don't even know if this would send us to the sa place as Master."
I looked the alchemist dead in the eye, "Then I suppose we just have to make sothing that can, can't we?"
Wait for , Aniue! This ti, it's my turn to save you!
