On one side Naoki was being attacked by a monster and on the other side Toshiko was being lured by some kind of ghost woman.
"You can only save one" said a sweet voice.
CHAPTER 42
"Save only one? Are you serious?"
On the one hand, there were a few strange things going on. It wasn't a mission, because I didn't get a notification.
"What if I activate my Dream Vision skill?"
But I didn't know how to use it.
So I was forced to make a choice.
"Naoki is facing a monster in himself he can beat it without difficulty, but as far as Toshiko is concerned if she is under the influence of the mist..."
I didn't know what to do, both were important to me.
"Naoki I trust you, I will save Toshiko first!"
He didn't answer me...
I ran towards Toshiko, she seemed to be walking towards the ghost woman. I realised that she was the one manipulating her.
"Toshiko don't go! It's a trap!" I shouted at her.
If I don't act quickly, I won't have time to save Naoki.
Besides, it's weird that she didn't trap me when my skill isn't activated. Or maybe unlike the others, I didn't have anyone precious to me?
"Agh... Toshiko!"
I tried to push her away, but she struggled to keep following the young woman, repeatedly uttering the name of someone I didn't know.
The blood was rushing to my head. I let out such a pitiful voice to get her attention.
"Don't leave me alone!"
What came out of my mouth could be mistaken for childish torment.
Toshiko stopped. She stubbornly refused to turn around so I put my hand on her shoulder.
"Yume what are you doing?"
A scream sounded behind me that brought me to my senses. That voice, calling to me, belonged to Toshiko. But why was I hearing it from behind?
I blinked in confusion and realised that it was not Toshiko's shoulder I was touching, but the ghostly woman's.
Toshiko was holding my arm.
"Don't tell me that..."
