"Thank you for your help, Meng Po—thank you for coming, Lord Kyosuke, Miss Kagura..."

"This is Kinnara."

When the one-eyed frog demon, who often served as the mountain rabbit's mount, greeted them somewhat awkwardly, Kousaka Kyosuke immediately noticed the situation.

Compared to Kagura, who often accompanied him, Kinnara was clearly not very famous.

Therefore, it needs to be properly introduced.

“…Miss Kinnara! Thank you!” The one-eyed frog demon replied, bowing his head in a gesture of respect.

"It's alright, let me check on the mountain rabbit's condition first."

Kousaka Kyosuke waved his hand while fixing his gaze on the sleeping mountain rabbit.

Meng Po, the frog demon, Kagura, and Kinnara all waited quietly.

after awhile.

After thoroughly observing Yamausagi, Kousaka Kyosuke spoke:

"It must be a dream. But another part of its consciousness is immersed in a deeper dream. For safety's sake, I will wake up the mountain rabbit."

As he said, Kyosuke Kosaka discovered that Yamausagi's dream was indeed not very deep.

However, some consciousness does not think that way.

Feeling puzzled or even intrigued, Kyosuke Kousaka decided to take a look.

After all, this might allow him to understand dreams more fully, or it might even further enhance his abilities.

"Ah, I knew it!" Meng Po patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

The frog demon was rather worried: "Is this matter serious? It's probably not a simple matter for you, Lord Kyosuke, to personally handle this, is it?"

"It's not much trouble, I'll take care of it right away," Kousaka Kyosuke said with a smile, reassuring the frog demon. He then looked at Kagura and Kinara, "My safety is in your hands."

"rest assured."

"I will definitely protect you!"

One was calm and collected, the other was imposing and powerful.

Compared to the experienced Kagura, Kinnara, who had just started working, was full of energy.

"Ah."

Kousaka Kyosuke smiled at Kagura and Kinnara, then lowered his body and sat down cross-legged, with most of his consciousness entering Yamausagi's body.

In an instant, the world changes.

Kyosuke Kousaka's consciousness was in a quiet forest.

This is a lush, green forest.

Warm sunlight filters through the leaves, casting dappled shadows, and the air is filled with the scent of grass and earth.

No matter how you look at it, you can see that this is a place where people can temporarily forget the troubles of the world and feel the harmony and tranquility of nature.

"I wonder if this place can be found in reality?"

Kousaka Kyosuke thought to himself.

While thinking, we also took action.

Following the scent of the mountain rabbit, I headed to where she was.

By the way.

This place is not entirely the mountain rabbit's dream, but rather a place where the dreams of all creatures converge.

After all, when you dream, your consciousness wanders around in all sorts of places, so it's not surprising that it might wander to other corners of the world.

This is especially true for lively rabbits.

—But this rabbit is jumping around a bit too far. How did it end up in the depths of the dream gap?

"If it's too dangerous, then we can only decisively grab a part of its consciousness and return it to its main body... But this will damage the mountain rabbit's spirit, so we can only do it as a last resort."

Kyosuke Kosaka made a quick decision.

He usually came to the gap between dreams to cultivate because he was sure he had the ability to protect himself.

But if there's another person around, he's not so sure.

Therefore, it is essential to make relevant plans in advance.

Even before that, Kyosuke Kousaka had considered the possibility of encountering the Yamata no Orochi.

Anyway, I've decided to run away if I encounter it.

Given Orochi's personality, he probably wouldn't be interested in playing such a boring game anymore.

However, we cannot ignore this situation.

However, Kyosuke Kousaka felt that the probability seemed very low no matter how you looked at it.

Since Orochi is already preparing for the final judgment, where would he find the time to bother with anything else?

Besides, this is just about a little rabbit; is it necessary to make a big deal out of it?

The situation with the spider lily before was actually because the spider lily itself provoked the eight-headed serpent.

Otherwise, the Yamata no Orochi would probably still be quiet, just like a dead snake.

Logically speaking, the Yamata no Orochi does have a certain logic in its actions.

"Whoo~"

The sound of comfortable breathing.

This came from a rabbit-eared girl leaning against a tree.

The bunny-eared girl wears a cute frog-head hat and a black and white casual outfit. The green waist belt and green inner placket add a touch of liveliness and playfulness. Overall, her outfit is quite fashionable.

However, Kyosuke Kosaka was puzzled as to why this bunny-eared girl was wearing the same semi-transparent black stockings as Su Chang.

That design, resembling modern elastic sports leggings, is just too incongruous.

Kyosuke Kosaka really wanted to complain.

Of course, he had to praise the rabbit-eared girl in his dream, the mountain rabbit, for being so good at dressing up.

At least Kyosuke Kousaka would give this outfit a perfect score.

"Hey, wake up."

"Well...it hurts."

"I didn't do anything."

Seeing Yamausagi looking at him with innocent red eyes, Kousaka Kyosuke raised his hands to show his innocence.

The mountain rabbit scratched its head, its pretty face, which had lost some of its childishness, looking completely bewildered.

"Where am I? This is strange... Ouch, wait, who am I?!"

"You are a mountain rabbit."

Kyosuke Kosaka simply said.

The mountain rabbit paused for less than a second before reflexively saying, "How could I possibly have such an ordinary name?"

Kousaka Kyosuke remained silent. "So, this means they don't accept their own name."

In dreams, anyone who is not on guard will naturally express their deepest thoughts.

"Anyway, I shouldn't be called Mountain Rabbit..."

"I misremembered, your name is Mengxun."

"Dream Seeker... that sounds like the name of an amazing behind-the-scenes hero who can swiftly travel between illusion and reality. Not bad! Not bad!"

The mountain rabbit looked delighted.

Kyosuke Kosaka said calmly, "This rabbit probably won't be so easy to wake up."

There's a saying that goes something like this—you can never wake someone who's pretending to be asleep.

At present, although the mountain rabbit is not pretending to be asleep, it is almost asleep.

I guess he just wanted to have a sweet dream?

What a hassle.

Why not just knock this rabbit unconscious with a chop to the neck and take it away?

rustling sound~

"who is it?!"

The mountain rabbit heard a slight noise and excitedly rushed over!

Wow!

A monster, much like the one-eyed frog demon in reality, was captured by the mountain rabbit.
