Chapter 136: [Intermission] Bleu’s Domain: Reunion

I opened my eyes, a vast empty white domain spread out in front of me. I never really noticed this last time but the floor looked like it was made from some marble substance with sprinkles of glitter embedded inside it, refracting the light to create something like a starry floor?

The sound of water, or elixir hitting the ground, the quartz pillars that extended to who knew where.

Though I said empty-- it wasn't empty. There's an open concept bedroom here that I didn't see last time.

"Where could this be? Noel, this is not just a dream is it?"

I turned to look at Liliath who was here together with me.

"You're the real Liliath right?"

Liliath, with her languid expression tilted her head at my question-- her messy hair fell to the front, her body covered by a nightgown.

"I guess both of us are now in Bleu's domain. Should be," I then shifted my sight to the not-very-unusual-but-totally-suspicious bed in front of us. A pure white canopy bed adorned by golden ornaments and silky curtains refracting in a purple light.

"I feel a divine presence. Said goddess is Bleu? She's sleeping though," Liliath rubbed her eyes and tried to straighten out her messy hair. I guess she wants to make a good impression?

It's been more than a week since we received the note that we can enter Bleu's domain by 'dreaming of her'. Liliath and I had been experimenting with what exactly that meant-- this sounds weird but we've been 'thinking' about Bleu the past few nights but to no avail until today-- Today? I'm pretty sure something like dates don't exist in this goddess domain.

"What do we do now? I believe she is sleeping?"

"Sleeping? We wake her up then," I stretched my body and let loose a yawn.

Really now? I'm surprised I could feel the fatigue of my body. It feels like I got woken up mid-sleep. So much for the warm reception.

Liliath and I went towards the bed, Liliath's gaze sweeped the horizon, then returning, she examined the indoor plants that were for some reason made of gold. The feeling of this soft red rug is amazing, I look towards the coffee table and couch at the side to see a few glassware that had been used.. is that a pill bottle?

Why pills?

"There's no issue with waking her up correct?" Liliath asked, hesitant.

"I don't think there's any problem with that? Or should I do it?"

"Toge-ther.. j-just in case!"

"Okay," I won't dig too deep into that, she probably meant the shallow meaning.

Liliath grabbed one side of the curtain, I grabbed the other, and signalling with our eyes, we pulled it apart.

Hugging a pillow, there, a woman wearing a proper blue collared pajama-- finally-- curled up in a ball. Her cerulean coloured hair spread across the bed, her fluttery eyelashes tinge with a bit of gold. Sound sleeping noises could be heard if you listened closely.

Makes me wonder if this is how Liliath looks when she's asleep.

"What next?" I muttered.

"Hm? Shouldn't we wake her?"

"Yeah.. but she's like.. sleeping. And you know how annoying it is to be woken up mid sleep right?"

Liliath pondered a while before shaking her head. Heehh…

"Mu.. 1 more eternity.. just let me sleep one more eternity.." Bleu shifted her sleeping posture and muttered.

Yup. There are certain things mortal beings like me would never come to understand.

"I suppose we don't have a choice.. how about you wake her up?"

"Why me? Couldn't you do it?" Liliath's eyes contained a tinge of fear-- so that's the reason huh?"

"Trust me, Bleu isn't as scary as you think.. I'll wake her up then," the bed was large so I actually had to crawl to the center-- and this being the main reason why I didn't want to wake Bleu up because it felt a little-- indecent? To put it frankly. "Bleu, wake up. Wake up. You have visitors."

"Hehehe.. indecent eh? Mu.." Bleu said with a lisp.

Ah right. She can read minds. I better be careful.

I poked her face.

"One more eternity.. mu.."

I placed my hands below my chin and pondered. In fact, I could just shake her shoulders like your typical yours truly but..

"Liliath, can you grab a pillow?" I turned to Liliath.

"Pillow?"

"Yeah. And then throw it at Bleu with all your might."

"B-But isn't that disrespectful?"

"Well.. Think of it as a service. Not everyone gets your pillow after all."

In a serious sense, her pillow throw hurts like hell. Something so soft can generate an impact of a small trolley. Bleu wouldn't die from that but the main reason why i suggested that is-- I don't know? I just felt like it.

"If you say so.."

I moved out of the way while Liliath took one pillow from the many other pillows strewn across the bed.

"To reconfirm, with all my might?"

"Yup."

Liliath took in a deep breath-- I have a bad feeling about this. Raising the pillow into the air in a pre-throwing posture, the scene of a sleeping beauty and a demon preparing her artillery unfolded in front of my eyes.

"She wouldn't simply die would she?" For some reasons Liliath's voice here was laced with expectation, worry and enthusiasm...

"I don't think she would die but.."

The artillery struck. A shockwave caused me to stagger, the sound of someone screaming could be heard and feathers got stuck in my mouth.

"Puah!" I coughed out the feather. "What the…"

The pillow Liliath was holding exploded, Bleu was seen rolled over limpy to the edge on the other side of the bed. So you're saying Liliath can actually kill me with a pillow if she wanted? Shit..

"Ah. Could I do another one?" Liliath asked me with shining eyes.. for some reason.

Uh..

"That's mean.. why can't you just wake me up normally," Bleu said, and finally got up with a pout on her face as she faced both of us with her golden eyes.

"Um. I apologize?" Liliath said. As if her reverence towards Bleu before this was a lie.

"I forgive you. Don't do that again, it hurts.. and Noel?"

"Yes?"

"It isn't that Liliath reveres me. She barely knows me. Imagine the awkwardness of meeting someone for the first time?" Bleu combed her long hair with her fingers.

"Okay?"

I don't get why she's trying to explain this but alright.

"Ah. I've shown you my sleeping figure, so how is it? Was I cute?"

"Do you really have to ask that?" Okay. I'll give you my answer-- it's more sexy than it is cute.

Liliath only nodded.

"I see. I see." Bleu placed her finger under her chin. "I've been lonely you know? Thanks for coming."

Lonely? I wonder how long Bleu has been here. We've been trying to get in contact with you for the past few days, you know? It's to the point where it's becoming a habit to think about Bleu each night.

"Oh. I see. I should've thought about you two more frequently if that's the case. Actually, what 'think of me and I'll think of you; dream of me and I'll dream of you,' means, is that both parties have to think of each other.. I made an oopsie. I should've dreamt of you two," Bleu hung her head.

So basically, I guess Bleu had been sleeping without thinking about Liliath nor me this whole time. That's lonely indeed.

Bleu shifted her body and placed her legs on the rug, feeling the fluffiness with her bare feet before getting up on her two feet.

"My name is Bleu. Nice to meet you, Liliath Toren. It's the first time we're meeting like this so it's a little awkward I get that. Well, if you need anything.. no. You can't hit me with a pillow again."

"Hm? Could you perhaps read my mind?" Liliath looked at Bleu as if a rare specimen.

"Ugh.." Bleu, the rare specimen clenched her fist and gave me a glare-- haha, "Yes. I can read your mind. So it's quite.. uh.. "

"Liliath Toren, a pleasure to meet you Bleu-sama," Liliath bowed.

"Y-yes.. please don't do that. I get that I showed your past to Noel.."

Liliath's smile grew wider. Bleu shuddered in response.

"Noel. Send help," Bleu requested.

"Alright, alright. Liliath, I'm the one who created Bleu you know? So I'm technically the one who dug into your past-- though accidentally."

"Noel, you should refrain from blaming yourself," Eh.. not this again. Liliath turned her attention to me.

"Am not," Actually, I have no idea how to stop Liliath. Having me view her past without consent is trespassing her privacy after all.

"I'm quite sure you are."

"Sorry then. Anyways, I'm the one who requested it so.."

"Noel is lying. It's due to a quest!" Bleu pointed at me.

"A quest?"

"Yes, a quest. Because.."

Huh? Did Bleu need my help to begin with? She's got everything covered over there? Putting this unanswered question aside, Bleu began explaining how my TALENT works to protect me. Allowing me to view Liliath's past was so that I had a comprehensive understanding of the situation.

And to be honest.. I feel like it's my TALENT's way of making me guilty so that I don't leave Liliath's side.

Speaking of guilty.

"Bleu, are you going to explain that part?"

"Are you alright with that?"

"Is there something I don't know about?"

"Yeah. There is."

"How about you tell Liliath yourself? Right now is the best time to do so, you know?" Bleu sipped her tea.

"Good point," since Liliath can rampage about if she feels like it.

"Please refrain from destroying my domain," Bleu pouted.

That would be up to Liliath though?

"So what could it be?" Liliath sipped her tea.

I sipped my milk tea. And if anyone is wondering what tea this is, it's your basic earl grey tea. I added milk to mine.

Also, about the pill bottle, when Bleu unscrewed the cap, initially I thought the white powder was cocaine. It scared the crap out of me-- turns out, it was just sugar, the super fine kind like caster sugar.

So why the pill bottle anyways?

"It's one of the 3R, reusing. I've always wanted to experience it once."

So says the goddess.

"Well.. you know how my TALENT summoned you to my world right?"

"Un," Liliath nodded.

"It didn't summon you. It CREATED you."

"It created me?"

"To put it bluntly, your world never existed to begin with… until now."

In fact, I wasn't too sure if Liliath's world really does, or does not exist. It's a mystery. I don't really get the intricacies of my TALENT either.

"So.. what you're implying is that everything about me is a lie?" Liliath took another sip of tea calmly.

"I wouldn't say it was a lie-- not anymore at least."

"It's alright Liliath. We're on the same boat. I too was created by Noel. I should not exist to begin with," Bleu said with a smile.

Seeing her smile, I felt a little sentimental. It's hard to put into words.

"And you're right Liliath. Noel blames himself way too much. He's much worse than usual, did something happen?" Bleu tapped the spoon on her tea cup.

"Yes. He was caught up in an incident involving Lyndia--"

And so our conversations in Bleu's domain continued until our existence faded and we returned to reality.
