Paimon no longer pressed the matter. "Since Dehya has helped us so much, perhaps we should go meet up with her first. At this time, those kidnappers should be appearing soon."
When they met Dehya again, things had changed. This time, there was no wound on Dehya's arm.
Paimon was shocked. "You... how are you not injured?"
[Paimon: What is this? Why is she suddenly not injured?]
[Ningguang: The script of the dream world does not seem to be exactly the same every time. There are always small variations.]
[Furina: It is like a performance at the opera house. Even with the same troupe, every performance has a different effect.]
[Klee: With Jumpy Dumpty, every catch of fish is also different!]
[Lumine: Could it be that through the endless loops, Dehya became familiar with her greatsword?]
[Paimon: But in the dream, memories are erased with each loop.]
[Lumine: Muscle memory.]
[Ningguang: In a dream, is there a real body?]
[Ei: Though the Plane of Euthymia is a world of consciousness, dying within it means death for the physical body as well. Practicing in the Plane of Euthymia also leads to growth in skill.]
[Lumine: So this is also a world of consciousness within a dream.]
Dehya crossed her arms. "What do you mean? They were just some third-rate kidnappers."
Lumine said, "Your greatsword should not be familiar to you, should it?"
Dehya's voice suddenly lowered. "Wait, how do you know about the greatsword? I have never told anyone. Do not let the young lady know."
Paimon spread her hands. "As expected, Dehya's memories are still gone."
Lumine asked, "But in this battle, did you notice anything strange?"
Dehya thought for a moment. "Strange? If I had to say... you knew about my new greatsword, but for some reason, it felt very familiar."
"It was as if I had already used it in countless battles."
[Paimon: It seems that is indeed the case.]
[Ningguang: This would be a great place to learn. In just one year, you could gain many years of experience.]
[Keqing: It could be used as a school. A school within a dream.]
[Paimon: You are really making the most out of a simple dream.]
[Nahida: I never imagined it could have so many uses either. However, memories from dreams are easily forgotten after waking up unless you are blessed by Dendro power.]
[Paimon: So we need a deity's help to make the most of dreams.]
[Ningguang: I imagine the blessing of Dendro power is not something given freely. Otherwise, why would only Lumine and Paimon receive it?]
[Nahida: That is correct. The blessing of Dendro.]
Paimon rested her chin on her hand. "So you have no memory of fighting with it, but your body does. Is that the feeling?"
Dehya nodded. "That is right. For a mercenary, muscle memory is the most important. Relying on the brain for every move is just a fancy show."
Paimon looked at Lumine. "What do you think?"
Lumine fell into thought. "Could it be the effect of removing the Akasha Terminal last night? This is the first time such a change has appeared."
Paimon was also happy. "It is great that there is change. It feels like seeing hope."
Lumine proposed another idea. "Could it be that we have already escaped?"
Paimon agreed. "Yes. In all previous memories, Dehya was definitely injured."
Lumine rarely showed a smile. "Then we will know once today ends."
