Although Shirayuki-sensei called this the practical phase, I honestly had no idea what I was supposed to do.
Last time I entered a mental world, it was with Hina, and the goal was clear: exorcise the monster that was eating away at her mind and bring her back to normal.
But this time? I wasn't sure what the objective was. Just as I was pondering this, Sensei spoke up.
"First, we need to find Aya-san within this world. The treatment using Resonance starts after that."
"How do we find her?" I asked.
With Hina, we found her right away because it was in a confined space. But here? This was an open countryside, vast and sprawling. Without smartphones or GPS, I couldn't imagine how we'd find Aya-chan.
As I scanned the surroundings, Shirayuki-sensei seemed to focus on something in the distance.
"This way, Itsuki-kun," she said, confidently striding forward.
