(EP-214.2) Forest Wedding #1
214 – Wedding of the Witch Forest #1
“Eugh.”
I soon spat it out, yup, that was the revolting taste of dirt. This dream felt completely 4D. Was this what they called a lucid dream?
“We don’t have time to stand around like this. We need to find Tarantera-nim and wake her up from this dream.”
“Ah.”
Unlike me, my partner was quite quick in assessing the situation. However, if there was one thing that made me wonder...
“What, what are you looking at?”
“No, did you always have pink hair?”
Lily had pink twin tails instead of black. She was dressed in a black dress with a white apron, the same maid outfit I had seen in the palace.
She had a cute, cat-like face. She looked around seventeen, judging by her appearance. She still had baby fat, and hadn’t developed yet.
“So that’s what you look like. Your hair is pink. I didn’t expect someone to have pink hair.”
“Th, this is a dream! Didn’t you hear that appearances could change? You fool. Why don’t you take a look at yourself...!”
“Me?”
“Yes! What’s with that appearance? You disliked being so {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} small and puny? What are you, some kind of pole?”
“Some kind of pole?”
“Hah, so you wanted to be that big in your dreams too? It’s easy to see why you desire such.”
Lily’s words suddenly made me consider my appearance.
What did I look like?
Seureuk-.
As I stood up from my spot, I felt my gaze raised. Come to think of it, my voice also seemed a bit thicker than usual. I stumbled a bit to adjust, while Lily sneered at me.
“If you’re feeling less groggy, go wash your face in the nearby stream.”
“There’s a stream?”
Listening carefully...
Rippling-.
Sure enough, I could hear the sound of running water nearby. I walked over and leaned my face into the clear, flowing surface.
“What!?”
I was shocked by what I saw. The familiar face of Theo Gospel was nowhere to be seen, replaced by a bland, ghostly visage.
“My face, my face is gone...?”
“What are you even saying? You still have that stupid mouth of yours.”
“Lily, can you see my face?”
“Theo Gospel, come to your senses.”
Judging by Lily’s reaction, it seemed she could see my face. Why did it look ghostly to me? Was it because it was Aira’s dream?
However, one thing was certain: this elevated perspective didn’t feel unfamiliar. In this dream, I was quite tall.
I couldn’t measure in detail, but I estimated my height to be about 180cm tall. And I believed I’d seen the scars on my forearms and the back of my hands somewhere. Was there a scar on my stomach as well?
Seuk-.
I lifted my top and checked my stomach. To which Lily reacted, “W-What are you doing?!” But I was convinced when I saw the sharp cut on my side.
This... was my body.
To be precise, it was the body of the human ‘Lee Seong-eum’. Not Theo Gospel’s, but my original body.
But why was my face blurred?
I looked at my reflection in the stream again. However, oddly enough, I couldn’t recall how my original face looked.
Not at all.
Me.
