Chapter 76: The Final Floor

Leelee and Yumi were inside the fourth floor together sitting down at one of the stools in front of the Inn. Werewolves, goblins, elves, and other mysterious races who were unknown had sung out loud, making the environment full of excitement.

"…Soooo… are you saying that we're on the final floor until we reach Beatrice?" (Leelee)

"Yes, that is indeed what I am saying. However this floor allows you to grant anything you desire, long as you stay inside here!" (Ginger)

Yumi placed his hand underneath his chin and looked down in thought.

"…So we can make any wish we desire? If that's the case then what is the point of visiting Beatrice so she can make our wish?" (Yumi)

Ginger was the waitress and also leader of the fourth floor. She magically pulled out an scroll before unfolding it, watching the paper roll down the ground of wishes that has been made, with the rules at the top.

"The fourth floor is an infinite sized world that allows someone to create anything that they desire here! The only reason why you're both inside a Inn is because one of you probably wished to be inside one the moment you walked through the portal, and now voila! It's all here!" (Ginger)

"Well I definitely didn't wish to be in some inn with a bunch of drunk werewolves and goblins…" (Leelee)

Yumi chuckled to himself before nodding his head.

"…Well it's mostly my fault. I was just wishing to be somewhere safe and cozy, and my favorite Inn which was located in Mesnil nation was the first thing to cross my mind." (Yumi)

Leelee looked around her before closing her eyes.

"If what you say is true then… I'm gonna imagine seeing my dad again… but this time alive and well!" (Leelee)

"That is possible, you're free to do what you wish." (Ginger)

Leelee clenched her fists before cringing her face, thinking hard of the times she had her dad healthy without the curse Beatrice placed on him.

"…Dad…Dad… I want to see you again, with a smile! With you talking to me!" (Leelee)

She tensed up her body until she could hear an familiar voice—

"Leelee…?" (???)

Leelee opened her eyes and seen her dad standing in front of her. Shocked to see him alive and well… she realized what Ginger said is true.

"Dad!? DAD!!!" (Leelee)

She quickly ran over to him extending her arms as she jumped and hugged him around his chest, even wrapping her legs around his waist.

"DAD I MISSED YOU! I MISSED YOU SO MUCH…!" (Leelee)

"Leelee, what's going on? Where are we… oh my daughter, I missed you just as much!" (Feero)

Yumi turned to face Ginger with an curious expression.

"Something feels off…" (Yumi)

"What do you mean?" (Ginger)

"This seems too good to be true. I doubt the witch Beatrice would make something like this when she's evil and cruel… and sadistic like all the other witches. You either tell me what's really going on, or I'll force it out of you." (Yumi)

Gingers expression quickly changed from a smile, to an sinister look that a manipulator would show.

"…Fufufu… you figured it out so fast… AHAHAHAHAHA!" (Ginger)

Yumi stepped back from her and raised his staff at her.

"…HAA!" (Yumi)

Yumi used his duality magic as a dark and white energy surrounded his staff.

"FOOL!" (Ginger)

The duality magic managed to do nothing as Ginger resisted its effect, now landing a right hook into Yumi's cheek.

"—GAAAH!" (Yumi)

Yumi flew into the wall as picture frames above him fell off their racks.

"Huh? Y-YUMI!" (Leelee)

Leelee turned around and stripped herself away from her father, only to be grabbed by the arm.

"Ow—! Dad what are you doing?!" (Leelee)

She turned around to look at her father gripping her arm, scared out of her wits as the strength was something far above her own.

"LET ME GO! MY FRIEND IS IN TROUBLE!" (Leelee)

Leelee looked up at her dad and could notice his face morphing… slowly melting away and his skin falling off his face.

"WHATS HAPPENING?!" (Leelee)

Leelee was in disbelief, but she managed to infuse her charismatic aura into her arm, increasing her strength tenth-fold before breaking out.

"YUMI WHATS HAPPENING?!" (Leelee)

Leelee looked over at Yumi, seeing how he was barely unable to stand…

"I don't know… but whatever it is… we're in the domain of Ginger… this evil entity…" (Yumi)

"Hahahaha… HAHAHAAHA! Yes, you're in my domain! Escape is impossible for you two." (Ginger)

***

"I'm sure the princess is fine Astoria, no need to worry." (William)

William and Astoria were inside the dungeon, managing to break through Leelee's charismatic aura. Luckily Astoria's Kyokogen could absorb it which allowed them to break through.

"So we're on the third floor right? If that's the case William, then they shouldn't be too far away." (Astoria)

They both walked through the same dark hallway that lead to the fourth floor, hearing mice crawl all on the ground.

 "…Up ahead, I see a light!" (Astoria)

Astoria pointed out the bright light in front of them, causing her to pick up the pace, as did William. They ran over to the bright light holding their weapons inside their hands. Astoria had a shield while William had a sword.

"PRINCESS LEELEE! ARE YOU ALRIGHT?!" (William)

They eventually approached the portal to the next room but stopped once Astoria held Williams arm.

"Wait a minute!" (Astoria)

"What is it?!" (William)

Astoria looked at the portal in front of them… her Kyokogen was able to see through illusions, and any trick thrown her way. 

"This portal isn't safe to enter…" (Astoria)

"What do you mean Astoria? There's no other portals around us, so that can't be true!" (William)

Astoria curiously took the dagger from its sheathe located on her belt, and now throwing it inside the portal.

"What the hell?!" (William)

They both watched the dagger suddenly decompose… rather teleporting.

"It… decomposed? Does that mean princess Leelee… is gone?" (William)

Astoria looked down a bit saddened.

"I'm not sure William… I refuse to believe that she would die that easily… she can't be dead from such a trick like this!" (Astoria)

"Are there no other exits? You should be able to tell with your Kyokogen shouldn't you?" (William)

Astoria shook her head in denial.

"No, I can't pinpoint anymore exits, this is the only one." (Astoria)

"Well then… we have no choice! Let us make way inside!" (William)

"Make way… inside? How are we gonna do that? We'll die if we even try!" (Astoria)

"HAHAHAHAHAHA! DIE YOU SAY? WE HAVE YOU ASTORIA, AND YOUR CONCEPTUAL WEAPON!" (William)

"M-MY CONCEPTUAL WEAPON? What are you suggesting we do with Gladiator?!" (Astoria)

Astoria's conceptual weapon gladiator was able to deny and block out any logical reasoning directed at it… even on her own ally's.

"You'll keep us surrounded by its effects as we travel to wherever this portal has to take us! It's a risk I'm willing to take in order to protect our princess." (William)

Astoria closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

"Very well then… I trust your word and confidence William. Let's do this, and make sure to bring Leelee back with us!" (Astoria)

She held out her arm in front of her. Astoria had a small shield connected around her wrist, as it now glowed in a golden color.

"AWAKEN GLADIATOR! PROTECT ME AND WILLIAM UNTIL WE REACH OUR DESTINATION! Nothing will stand in our way to save the princess!" (Astoria)

Around William and Astoria a barrier would appear. They were now protected by the shield as it denied any logical reasoning directed at them. It was logical that they should decompose once entering the portal, but now it denied that logic and made it illogical. 

"In we go!" (William)

The both of them jumped into the portal and their bodies were instantly transported. They fell through an endless vacua of blackness until they reached what they were looking for… ending up inside a room, surrounded by gold and the decorations of royalty you would normally see in a castle.

"Where are we…?" (Astoria)

"I don't know… but this must be the fourth floor?" (William)

"What? Impossible… how aren't you two effected by my spell?!" (???)

The two of them heard a voice behind them, causing them to turn around to see a lady sitting on a throne.

"Who are you?" (Astoria)

"Me? My name is Ginger, I am leader of the fourth floor… it is the final floor and most challenging one of all. How did you two peasants manage to bypass my spell?!" (Ginger)

"What spell do you speak of woman?" (William)

Ginger stood up from her throne and walked down the steps, approaching the two of them.

"My spell of eternal sleep. Can't you see that the fourth room isn't meant to be completed? Those who reached this far are put to sleep for eternity where they can live in their paradise as an reward. Seeing Beatrice was only a lie… it'll never happen." (Ginger)

William gritted his teeth.

"Then where is Leelee?! Show me her right now or I'll kill you where you stand!" (William)

Ginger scoffed at his reply.

"Oh that young girl is fine… she's asleep alongside her other friend. She's now in my world… as I am the entity who rules dreams! I am the keeper of all dreams in this world, and it is under my domain! I'm sure you know my real title by now don't you?!" (Ginger)

Astoria widened her eyes in disbelief.

"You're the goddess of dreams… Morpheus…" (Astoria)

"AHAHAHAAHHAHAHA!" (Morpheus)
