Hearing Galina's words, before Xia De could open his mouth to say he would find a cure, Luweiya smiled and said to Galina:

"Galina, actually, we drink quite a lot of it usually."

The maids cleaning up the kitchenware turned red, and the Duchess blinked, then said embarrassedly:

"Can this be the same?"

Then Xia De felt someone rub against his leg under the table. He didn't need to think to know it was Galina.

【No, it is Luweiya Anate.】

"She" said with a smile, and then Xia De felt it again.

【This time, it is Galina Cavendish.】

Although she knew that Xia De providing blood would not affect his own health, Galina was still dissatisfied with Vigo's "blood-sucking behavior" in a practical sense.

And the way the Duchess expressed her dissatisfaction was, naturally, to suck more herself, so that she could feel it was fair.

She really didn't intend to return to the manor tonight, just as Megan and Xi Wei had thought. So after Little Mia was carried away by Tifa, Galina went to the bedroom with Xia De and Luweiya.

The red-haired witch was always very open at night, and tonight she was even more exaggerated, making even the usually magnanimous Luweiya complain:

"Galina, you should let me have a turn, right? It can't be that I've worked hard for a long time, and in the end, you get all the benefits. Could it be that Tifa and the others' cooking skills have regressed, so you didn't get enough to eat during the late-night snack just now?"

Galina then embarrassedly pulled Luweiya to eat together:

"It's my fault, don't be angry~ It's just that I was angered by Vigo... Oh, speaking of which, Xia De, I forgot to ask you—since you have already met Vigo, do you really think her appearance is the most beautiful among us?"

Xia De, sitting against the pillows, was greatly surprised:

"You really want to ask this question at a time like this?"

Luweiya wanted to laugh, but her current state was not convenient for making expressions.

Galina nodded very seriously:

"I want to know the answer right now. Don't worry, no matter how you answer, I won't be unhappy."

She looked up at Xia De, blinking her beautiful eyes.

Xia De gave the answer:

"You know, I have always disliked lying to you; even white lies, I try not to tell. Since you asked like this, then alright—Vigo's sickly appearance is indeed extremely beautiful."

Galina blinked:

"Are there no words following like 'but beauty also depends on the soul and personality'?"

Xia De gasped, and Luweiya was laughing at him.

"If I really said that, you would know immediately that I was just perfunctorily comforting you. So I only said the first half. However, I also want to emphasize that her figure is far from as good as yours."

Galina then showed a smile:

"I knew you understood me well. Alright, I actually admit it myself; that sickly appearance of hers does indeed have an extraordinary charm, but I won't envy her."

Saying this, she intended to continue the feeding from before:

"Xia De~ I'll reward you for your honesty. Luweiya, move over for me, will you? No, just move over~"

Luweiya nodded and moved to the side. She actually knew very well that no matter how Xia De answered, as long as it wasn't a deliberate evasion, Galina Cavendish would be very happy.

After the night's activities ended, the maids listening to the movement downstairs could finally fall asleep, and the three people on the second floor entered their dreams together.

The black sun hung in the distance of the dim yellow sky amidst the wind and sand, and black lines of fire flowed downward from beneath that black sun. This dream was still exactly the same as when Xia De first came.

On the roof of No. 6 St. Deran Square, the long-haired girl leaned in Xia De's arms, her fingers interlaced with his. She craved this warmth, hoping that Xia De would appear more frequently, yet worrying that her dream would affect him.

"No, I don't have a method to cure Vigo Astley."

She responded directly to Xia De's question from just now:

"It's not that I can't do it, but that I haven't tried. Xia De, in those past Sixth Eras where you didn't exist, why would I go to save her? I had no intersection with her, or rather, my relationship with the 【Witch Council】 is different from yours. You have established deep connections with almost every Great Witch, but I only knew a few of them."

"So, Vigo Astley was just a patient whose name I had heard of to me. In most of the Sixth Eras I experienced, her physical condition would continuously deteriorate, and finally, she would suddenly pass away at some point. I don't have a deep impression of this person, and I hadn't thought about her affairs before."

Xia De held the long-haired girl and watched the black sun with her:

"Then with your knowledge, besides me incarnating as a god and then using the power of a god to give her help, are there any other ways to completely cure her?"

Before Xia De entered the dream, the long-haired girl had already been thinking about this question, so she could give the answer directly:

"There are, but you haven't come into contact with any information in that regard yet, so I can't say it. It's just that the most direct method I thought of is also quite difficult."

"I don't have much advice to give on this at the moment. Actually, your blood is enough for her for the time being. That Lady Gustav from the Fifth Era gave you some means, and coupled with the treatment methods that the 【Witch Council】 has already found, this is enough for her to hold on for a longer time."

Xia De also knew that such things could not be forced:

"Alright then, for now, this is all we can do... Can the 【Emerald Tablet】 cure her?"

"Winnie is right; the 【Emerald Tablet】 itself has no healing ability. Even if found, at most it would only let you know what kind of power influenced her in the beginning. This Unknowable-level relic might help hatch that 'Moon Egg,' but for the Great Witch of Chaos, it is highly likely to be ineffective."

"It seems I can only wait until I come into contact with enough clues, and then come to ask you."

Xia De said softly:

"Luweiya, when can I embrace you in the real world without using my Middle-Ring sublimation language?"

"In the world outside the dream right now, aren't you already embracing me?"

The long-haired girl said gently, tilting her head slightly to look back at Xia De:

"You might have this feeling yourself; after a short rest, a brand new adventure begins. Next, you must also protect yourself well; the challenges will be more dangerous each time. Initially, we only encountered enemies like the 'Silver-Eyed One' of the 【Mercury Blood】, which seem unrefined now, but the next enemies will be more dangerous than 'Mr. Snake'."

Xia De smiled:

"Originally, after the World Tree wreckage in the Vesta Forest, I felt there wouldn't be anything more dangerous, but I didn't expect the snowy mountain to give me a surprise. So what will it be next?"

Luweiya, of course, could not say. Although the order in which the Chosen Ones appeared was different in each Sixth Era, since Xia De had already arrived in Arcadia, she knew what the next story was.

The purple-eyed girl finally said:

"The world is about to reach its end, and from the beginning of creation to before the final end of this world, the last child is also about to be born. At the beginning of birth, it is the end of the world."

"Is that so..."

Xia De did not comment on this sentence:

"Since the problem hasn't manifested yet, I'll focus on handling the things at hand. I think that Blue Ink Library should be available soon, and then I'll wait for Margaret to give me the information on the 'Grey Gloves'."

"I hope I can successfully find 'Big-Mouthed Sparrow'; I hope he hasn't met with misfortune like Detective Sparrow."

Luweiya laughed, and after confirming that Xia De had nothing else he wanted to say, she asked in a low voice:

"Then this time, is it here, or in your dream?"

Xia De looked down at her:

"I feel like you seemed happier last time in my dream."

"After all, I've watched the scenery here for too long, but as long as you are here, I will always be very happy... Galina sucked so much 'blood,' I'm also envious. Just now I even thought she was really going to sleep without letting go."

Xia De reminded her again:

"Going into my dream is no problem, but after waking up last time, that you in reality complained for a whole morning that I wasn't well-behaved in the dream."

The long-haired girl then embarrassedly said in a low voice:

"Last time was the first time you pulled me into a dream; this time I will be careful to block the memory... At most, I'll let her keep some fragmented images. Oh~"

She was held by Xia De, and the two rolled down along the sloping roof. But after rolling off the edge of the roof, they didn't fall straight into the square below, but rolled while embracing into that endless wilderness illuminated by the huge silver moon.

Luweiya lay on the grass, looking up at the smiling Xia De and the silver moon in the night sky "behind" him, closed her eyes, and issued an invitation.

So on Friday morning, Luweiya, with a glowing face, woke up, sat up, patted her head blankly, and looked at Xia De, who had also just woken up and was trying to wake up Galina, who never liked getting up early:

"I seem to have had a strange dream."

"Is it a precognitive dream? Xia De, I don't want to get up, ah~ what a petty man, I know, I'm getting up now. It's so close to Yodel Palace here; although I have things to do in the morning, getting up at eight is still in time."

The witch complained and reached out, insisting that Xia De pull her up.

Luweiya was still recalling the dream she couldn't remember:

"It shouldn't count as a precognitive dream, right? It seems like it was night, grass, I..."

Her face turned red, and she immediately stopped talking. She looked at Xia De suspiciously, and seeing that Xia De was normal, she attributed the dream to the arrival of spring, and that Galina had been too greedy last night, so she was a bit dissatisfied.

It was now the latter part of the Sowing Month, the fourth month of 1855; spring had completely arrived. Although the three people resting at home had Xia De restore the neatness of the bed before sleeping, it was of course impossible to put on pajamas again.

Therefore, seeing Galina, who had been pulled up by Xia De, wanting to ask for a kiss again, Luweiya, who thought she had found the truth of the "spring dream," also tugged at Xia De and then pointed at herself.

Xia De immediately understood:

"No problem."

Saying this, he lowered his head and kissed her. So the maids who were preparing breakfast in the kitchen all heard Galina's laughter and Luweiya's exclamation coming from the bedroom.

Although she was referring to herself, she only wanted Xia De to kiss her cheek, while Xia De understood it straightforwardly as the place pointed to by Luweiya's fingertips.
