[Instance: Chiba Academy · 3rd Floor]
"Huff... huff... huff..."
Panting heavily, the resurrected Leo supported himself against the cold corridor wall, trying to calm himself down.
"Are you alright?"
Emerging from the long sword, Raiden Mei hurriedly reached out to stroke Leo's back, attempting to smooth his breathing.
"I-I'm fine..."
Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Leo finally felt that the bloody, metallic taste of rust in his mouth had vanished.
In reality, upon his resurrection, such a taste shouldn't have existed in his mouth.
It was only because the death just now was a bit too "long," causing him to still harbor that illusion.
However—
I won!
Clenching his right fist, he punched the wall forcefully to vent the excitement in his heart.
To be honest, the pressure the Claw Zombie gave him was simply too great.
Don't look at how he settled the opponent in one go after a real blade-to-blade battle... trading a life for a life counts as one go too!
But frankly speaking, if not for the opponent being afraid of moonlight, the current him really wouldn't have had any way to deal with her; he might have been stuck on this level for quite a while.
Either wait for his Honkai energy to increase, or level up Raiden Mei a few more times.
—The level increase of [Blade Soul · Herrscher of Thunder] enhances the blade's sharpness and reduces the Honkai energy required for use!
In short, being able to clear this level so easily relied entirely on that sliver of moonlight outside the window.
Turning his head, he asked the relieved Raiden Mei, "Mei, do you know if there's anything abnormal about this moonlight?"
"I don't know."
Shaking her head decisively, Raiden Mei spoke bluntly, "When I woke up, I was already in that dreamscape. I don't understand the outside world at all."
"I can only vaguely sense the location of my dead body."
"Alright."
Facing Raiden Mei's quality answer, Leo understood that if he wanted answers, he could only return to the first floor to see if there were any new diaries there.
Staying no longer, after casually cutting down the Zombies on the second floor, he returned to the first floor.
Not rushing to convert the Zombies in the first-floor classrooms into warm Imaginary Energy, he strode towards the place where he and the Claw Zombie had perished together earlier.
It is worth mentioning that sitting at the bonfire only [Resets] his body's state and the locations of the monsters, as well as resurrecting the trash mobs.
As for those destroyed environments, they wouldn't be reset because of this.
So under the cold moonlight, he saw a pile of ash and a diary on the spot... there really is a diary?
However—
No equipment dropped?
You don't deserve to sit at the same table as Lord Guard Zombie!
Looking at that pile of ash with some disappointment, he couldn't help but mutter softly in his heart.
Bending down to pick up the diary, he patted off the ash on it, and then discovered that the style of the diary was quite... childlike?
Is this a diary a high school student would use?
This simply looks like an elementary school student's diary!
Involuntarily, a possibility that set his teeth on edge surfaced in his mind.
However, in order to know the truth, he still mustered his courage and opened the diary.
[Day ■]
[So happy today, played hide-and-seek with Big Sister after so long! (〃'▽'〃)]
[Day ■]
[Big Sister is so dumb! It's been three days, and she still hasn't found me... （○｀ 3′○）]
[Day ■■]
[Where exactly did Big Sister go? (｀ﾍ´)=3]
[Day ■■]
[Big Sister finally found me. I'm very happy, but her body has become so strange! (;′⌒`)]
[Day ■■]
[Big Sister said to avoid the erosion of the moonlight... what does erosion mean? ◔‸◔?]
[Day ■■■]
[Where did Big Sister find this meat? It tastes so bad. But if I don't eat it, Big Sister says she won't play hide-and-seek with me. o(╥﹏╥)o]
[Day ■■■]
[I miss Dad and Mom so much... but being with Big Sister isn't bad either. (^▽^)]
[Day ■■■]
[Don't bite! Don't bite! Don't bite! ...]
The entire entry consisted of this sentence, and the cute emoticons were gone.
[Day ■■■]
[Why isn't Big Sister talking anymore? And she's not moving at all? Is she playing Red Light, Green Light with me?]
[Day ■■■]
[Sorry! I didn't mean to. I just wanted to carry Big Sister to the bed, but why did Big Sister break?]
By this point, the handwriting was thoroughly crooked and twisted; Leo had to struggle to understand it.
[Day ■■■]
[Big Sister... tasty... tasty!]
[Day ■■■]
[Tasty! Tasty! Tasty! ...]
Once again, the entire entry was just this sentence, only with obvious bloodstains added on top.
[Day ■■■■]
[Moonlight... dangerous... moonlight... avoid...]
After that, the diary stopped recording.
