When the plot-skips players into the game world Chapter 1288 - 15 Aiwass: Mom?

After leaving the classroom where the Dream Master Mia resided, the people outside beca noticeably sparse. On the vast playground, there were only four or five scattered individuals, and all of their faces were indistinct, their movents very slow—even sowhat distorted.

They were all slender little girls, but their movents when walking were obviously unnatural. Their limbs were overly flexible, and they walked in complete silence. It looked like poorly made animation, even their fingers were connected together.

"Where are we going?"

Arsene looked at them and humbly asked, "How about we find soone to ask?"

He clearly knew very little about the secrets of dreams and the Dream Realm, and now he was eagerly seeking knowledge. It was probably because of this eagerness to learn that Arsene had mastered so many skills despite only having a primary school education.

And to venture into the Dream Realm to rescue Sherlock, despite having no prior knowledge about "dreams"... this recklessness and loyalty made Ayssen have a bit more appreciation for him.

So Ayssen patiently explained his doubt: "It’s useless, we’re not in the Dream Master’s line of sight. In such a situation, these people are rely empty shells."

"... Eh, wait. Your Holiness..."

Speaking of the Dream Master’s sight, Arsene suddenly realized, "That little girl... aren’t we taking her? Or do we need to find her first?"

"You an Aleister?"

Aiwass replied indifferently, "She’s always with ."

"... Is that so, sorry." Arsene didn’t ask "what’s going on" or "how did you manage that," he just straightforwardly admitted his mistake.

This graceful, sowhat dignified man was not very curious about others’ secrets.

This is probably why he has managed to live so safely despite being engaged in such dangerous work as a Phantom Thief in Irisland.

Aiwass simply waved his hand, not continuing to explain, he just softly said, "Also, don’t call ’Your Holiness.’ I know that’s my current nickna... so people use this title to pay homage to ; so want to use it to extol human achievents; and still others use it to ridicule . But to be honest, I’ve only been an interim Pope for a month at most.

"Just call Aiwass. Sherlock usually calls that. You’re a friend of Sherlock, and I’m also a friend of Sherlock... so we can be friends too, right?"

"... Um."

When it ca to this, Arsene’s expression beca a bit subtle: "Alright... no problem."

"What is it?"

Aiwass keenly noticed Arsene’s expression.

"Specifically..."

Arsene cleared his throat and said seriously, "When he calls you, he usually uses a more endearing nickna. He generally doesn’t use Aiwass."

"... Alright, I think I know what the nickna is."

Aiwass seed a bit resigned: "Probably sothing like ’Foxy’ or ’Sly Fox’."

"... Eh?"

Arsene was taken aback, wondering how such nas could exist, and hurriedly explained for Sherlock: "No, not at all."

"What? Really?"

"Yes, he usually calls you ’my dear friend.’

"What a coincidence, he calls you that in front of too."

Saying so, Aiwass and Arsene exchanged a knowing smile, feeling like they shared more common ground.

This is what "a friend of a friend" is like. When the person in the middle isn’t around, all you need to do is talk a little about their quirks, or share so amusing anecdotes about them, and you’ll beco familiar with each other quickly.

However, Aiwass still rembered that Sherlock’s dearest friend should be Edward initially. After all, Edward was Sherlock’s first friend—especially as his friend during his introverted period, this is the most precious friend to him.

But just as the two were laughing and chatting.

Aiwass suddenly brushed past soone sowhat familiar.

He paused slightly in surprise.

At that mont, Aiwass felt his spine tense—an odd premonition overwheld him as if ti had slowed down, almost coming to a halt.

He turned back instinctively and saw that person’s face.

Unlike the other "NPCs", this person’s face was incredibly clear. So clear that it was obvious Mia must have seen this person in real life.

Upon seeing her face, Aiwass had a strange illusion—

"... Mother?"

He mumbled softly to himself, in a voice only he could hear.

Aiwass had good mory, especially after becoming Transcendent, it beca even better.

During his first ascension ceremony, Aiwass had seen the faces of his biological parents.

In Aiwass’s view, his father was more handso than him; and his mother had beautiful, platinum blonde hair, the sa color as Aiwass’s. She carried herself with grace and elegance, had a lancholic face, fair skin, and wore a pearly silk dress.

The girl who had just passed by bore at least an eighty percent resemblance to his mother.

Whether it was appearance, eye color, hair color, or deanor... as well as that similarly styled long dress.

But clearly, even if Aiwass’s biological mother Annie Alexander wasn’t deceased, she should now be in her forties. Yet, that girl just now seed even younger than Aiwass, probably only about fifteen or sixteen.

For a mont, an absurd thought crossed Aiwass’s mind—could it be that his mother had been reincarnated after death?

But that was impossible.

Not to ntion that mortals in this world simply don’t have the right to reincarnate, and even stepping back... even if Annie had beco an Angel Envoy and successfully reincarnated, there’s no reason she wouldn’t seek out Aiwass.

So Aiwass quickly realized the truth of the matter:

Aiwass rembered that his mother Annie seed to be a noble of Irisland. When she and Mathers’s wife ca to Avalon to study, Mathers’s wife Mina fell in love with ntor Mathers, while her roommate Annie fell in love with fellow student Giulio Alexander.

The result was the two of them stayed in Avalon, even abandoning their past surnas.

In those days, Aiwass found it difficult to understand—being "nobles", even though Irisland today no longer officially had nobility, the quality of life was still extrely luxurious, why would they give it up? It’s known that Avalon before the founding was overly conservative, closed, and backward, incomparable to the conditions of Irisland.

Now, having truly arrived in Irisland... Aiwass gradually understood.

For girls who are conservative and enjoy peace and quiet, Irisland was an environnt they could hardly accept.

In other words, this girl might have a blood connection to Aiwass’s biological mother—

She was so clear, indicating Mia had a deep impression of her.

If Aiwass could find out who she is, it’d essentially an indirectly discovering his mother’s origins!

... Even though "searching for the mother’s family" has no practical significance, for the current Aiwass, any intelligence related to his parents is worth paying attention to.

Theoretically, Aiwass still had a cousin nad Lisa, who had been attacked and killed before he himself was attacked; his paternal family was thoroughly dead. Even though his grandfather Jacob, still active in the world as the Serpent Celestial Marshal’s Angel Envoy, had indeed died once.

The only possible blood-related family mber might be in Irisland.

Arsene noticed Aiwass’s gaze.

"Are you very concerned about her, Aiwass?"

He was sowhat puzzled and discreetly said, "I could introduce her to you... though I rember Avalonians are quite conservative... Her Majesty the Queen wouldn’t have a problem with this?"

Clearly, Arsene thought Aiwass had fallen for her at first sight.

This wasn’t an unusual occurrence in Irisland.

"You know her?"

Aiwass also suddenly realized—since the girl was a familiar of Mia’s, wouldn’t Mia’s lover Arsene also know her!

No need to ask Mia, Arsene would already know!

"Of course I know her."

Arsene smiled, "She is my wife’s younger sister. She also likes and gets jealous... so naturally has contact with Mia. But I haven’t touched her, otherwise, my wife would be upset... I am sowhat dependent on others, I understand these things.

"—Her na is Abigail de Vandom."
