Don't Forget to Sleep
Episode 22

"Think what can make someone really sure that we're trying to communicate with them?" Amarru said that while staring at his team one by one.

"Can we leave a sign indicating our existence? If Hisashi shows our form and is interpreted as a real dream, then a sign appears in accordance with what Hisashi said at the moment of the meeting, they will slowly think it is not just a dream" asked Ferghus who was only greeted by a moment of silence.

They were silent not because they were immersed in their own thoughts but because the darkness of the night began to grip. Ferghus reflex looking for a lighter he had seen the position of one of the torches in the corner of the room. Just now the man was about to light a lighter, suddenly the sound of a breezy wind was heard making the feathers of the newcomers crashing instantaneously.

Blahar!!

Blup up!! Blup up!!

Blahar!!

They jumped backwards as the entire torch in the room lit up automatically.

"What kind of "watch is this, huh? Hey Hisashi, did the victims light the torches?" kenatt protested at whatever lit the torch while trying as calmly as possible by asking Hisashi.

"There's no sign of human existence other than us here, so it's impossible for them. It must have been the demons that started to act to show their existence" Hisashi whispered very calmly than the others.

"It frustrates me. How can we distinguish movement from human or not? After all you yourself said the victims weren't allowed to be seen by me?" hiss Kenatt while ruffling his hair. Hearing that Hisashi was silent for a moment as if being reminded that he had not cast a shield spell on his entire team.

Create a shield to protect nature and living things. Remove the veil to survive... Hisashi said loudly as he spread his hands wide. A shield shaped like a soap bubble coats one by one his team. Hisashi began to put his palm right on top of Adel's crown but before he could say the next spell Amarru immediately rejected Hisashi from Adel.

"I think you should stop now. I can continue" Amarru said.

"Your energy is much more needed when we're going to get the hostages out of this place. Remember the devil is more than one. Save all your strength" Hisashi replied patting Amarru on the shoulder.

"Chichi.enough. This bracelet, made with a mixture of Chichi's blood so please don't use Chichi's life to find the victims" Ferghus pleaded. Hisashi clucked in annoyance as everyone finally tried to distance him after Ferghus said that.

"Yeah, well this old man is starting to be unneeded. Do whatever you want Amarru" Hisashi sizzled.

"Chich...." Ferghus looked frustrated at his foster father because he did not know that his actions made the adoptive father sulk now. As if not caring for Hisashi who began to behave childishly, Amarru began reciting spells to the crown of all members of his team.

But when Amarru was in front of Hisashi, he began to feel bad. Hisashi raised his hand before Amarru and turned away from him. Ferghus stepped towards Amarru until they whispered to each other. Ferghus began to nod his head and walked closer to Hisashi.

Without asking permission in advance Ferghus just closed Hisashi's eyes with both palms do not want to waste time Ferghus reciting the spell that Amarru taught him earlier. After the spell was finished, Ferghus removed his hand from Hisashi's eye.

Seen glaring eyes of surprise, annoyance and anger mixed into one even until now Hisashi is still silent.

"How dare you!! I'm older than you!! This kid!!" hisashi growled, but he became even more upset that Ferghus hugged him and patted him on the back several times.

"Good Chichi. Be angry at me at all times so there will be no chance for you to think about dying soon" Ferghus said after releasing his embrace from Hisashi.

"Huuufst.In this place there is a part of the body of the biological child Chichi, who is still alive. He'll beat me all out if I let you play with your life" Ferghus added. Hisashi cleared a little and then walked to anywhere according to his instinct.

"From now on you can see the victims but you haven't been able to touch even, communicate with them" Hisashi said still stepping around the ground floor of the Theatre. Suddenly dozens of dark black arrows shot out over Hisashi's body.

Everyone was silent as the arrow fell onto the red carpet after it had struck Hisashi's protective shield.

"Our enemies are far more than expected" murmured Hisashi making Ferghus and the others widen their eyes.

Welcome old enemy.How long have we not seen each other? There was an echo of the voice of a deafening middle-aged man.

Does he like to interfere in our affairs? The echo of a middle-aged woman's voice now sounded more threatening. There were two whirlwinds that started to turn into two small gray clouds, the longer it darkened and turned into the figures of two enormous poisonous snakes.

I think he doesn't recognize us anymore dear, replied the male snake while hissing cynically.

"How could I forget a couple of Husband Wives who conspired to kidnap my son and started to become so famous after an incident involving the members of Meggy Wezt Orphanage. Didn't you enjoy your life that much?" answer cynical Hisashi.

Ah, it's not our fault if your son manages to escape our clutches, man, snick the snake with sparkling red eyes.

Wasn't he himself the one who surrendered to Marthen Mathias? It was ridiculous to ridicule the female snake, making Hisashi clench her hands in wrath.

"I forgot the Devil has no brain, how can they think?" kekeh Hisashi while puffing his chest.

"My son was struggling to save his girlfriend from your grip at the time. He was just unlucky for failing to save his friend, getting out of the snake cage and into the tiger cage"

"Have you managed to revive your beloved daughter? Let's show your masterpieces. Marionet!! Are you here, son?!" cut Hisashi put his left hand beside his ear, making a pair of snakes immediately spout his venom towards Hisashi.

"Looking at your reaction it seems that your efforts failed. Should we celebrate? Hmm ?" added Hisashi fearlessly.

We failed because of you.now we won't allow you to do it again kekeh the female snake was excited. Hisashi did not consider what the outcome of the conversation would be. The entire torch that illuminated the ground floor was extinguished in a single gust of wind.

WuuuuuUUsh......

Blup up!! Blup up!!

There was no sound there, the newcomer humans were silent without a word of guessing what would happen to them next. Two small red lights were seen in a corner of the room, very far from the reach of Hisashi and his team. Another point of red light that began to unison was activated.

Light up a living soul

Contrarily

The key to the dead soul in your light!

Hisashi did not want to stay silent he immediately read a spell. Like when a cat can see even in a dark room, so can Hisashi and his team. Their hearts raced to find themselves surrounded by dozens of living mannequins !!

Glad to see you can see our masterpiece Hisashi kekeh the male snake curled his body down with a boasting speech.

"Is that really Ferghus' mannequin? Or is it the problem?" tanya Adel nudged Ferghus' arm. The man was stunned for a moment then glanced at Adel.

"If their eyes are not glowing, it is difficult for us to know that they are not part of our species" Ferghus told Adel.

"How could they create such a perfect mannequin? It really looked like a human being" Kenatt chuckled in admiration.

"Never stare at a mannequin that has not been activated!! I warn!!" shouted Hisashi and Amarru simultaneously. But Ferghus, Kenatt and Adel were confused by the instructions.

"What?! That unactivated mannequin whose eyes did not emit a red light?!" kenatt asked trying to clarify the instructions.

"That doesn't move!! Watch their active breasts!! They look like they're breathing, don't they?! It is better to fight them as little as possible and then blur and avoid the sight of the candle mannequin that does not look to breathe" Amarru replied.

"Understand" the three replied in unison. Seeing the living mannequins constantly trying to surround them, Hisashi simply swept his gaze toward the creation of the two crazy Devils.

"What?" sahut his entire team stared resignedly at the figure of the living mannequins.

Crash!!

Auuuch!!

Their voices are heard. They screamed while shaking the fingers of their right hand. Ferghus and Adel stared fixedly at their ring fingers. Hey...what was it that pierced their ring fingers until fresh blood came out of their fingers like this?!

The blood was frozen no longer dripping.

The pieces of blood in their sweet fingers are now turning more and more oblong. Except for Hisashi and Amarru, they were all silently fixated on what was happening with their respective blood. Their eyes were rounded wide as their blood had turned into a sword attached to a finger.

The blood-red glowing sword felt rather heavy strangely, they were able to grasp the sword unhindered.

"Use that sword to slash the heads of the mannequins. Remember carefully.make sure you cut off their heads until they break because their life force is on their nape" Hisashi hiss.

"Can this penetrate the body of the wax mannequin?" kenatt muttered, bringing the sword closer to his face.

"Never let your children off guard.even your weapon is capable of killing its own master" Hisashi hisses prepared to repel the attacks of the wax mannequins who began to rush towards them.

Hisashi turned around and pointed his sword towards Adel's neck. The girl held her breath instantly as Hisashi's sword cut two palms belonging to the wax mannequin, which almost managed to strangle Adel.

"How can I bring a girl here who doesn't even know how to swing a sword properly" growled Hisashi cursing himself. The girl suffocates when she sees Hisashi deliberately gripping the sharp part of Adel's sword until Hisashi's blood flows through Adel's sword.

"Hisashi..what are you doing?" lament Adel shock.

"From now on your sword will protect you. He even has his own thoughts and desires. Learn to understand your sword" Hisashi replied with a very serious expression. Adel felt the heat right at the very tip of his sword!! then spread to the palm of his hand he was surprised, because now the color of his sword is brighter than before.

Adel began to scream in pain, causing the concentration of the other members to scatter in search of the direction of the sound.

"Seeen the enemy!! What are you guys looking at?!" hisashi snapper tried to turn everyone's attention back to the war.

Adel tried to avoid the attack as much as possible, while trying to withstand the pain to spread, throughout the body. A kick slid towards Adel but the girl was surprised not to play as the sword in her hand moved itself slashing the mannequin's knee.

Oh my goodness, you own the worst sword the world has ever seen.

"Who? Who's talking to me?" hiss Adel stutters.

"Chichi..Will he start hallucinating?" ferghus asked as he tightened his back to Hisashi's back after successfully fending off the mannequin attack that would attack Hisashi from behind.

"His sword was trying to communicate with Adel. Don't worry they will become a complementary team" Hisashi replied as he continued to swing his sword mercilessly.

WuuuuUuUUsh

Suddenly there was a strong wind coming rolling up the entire wax mannequin without any residue. Amarru dragged the wind backwards and lost balance he fell crouching by relying on a pedestal on one hand. Everyone was circulating a misgivings all over.

Hisashi tried to concentrate fully listening to many voices in his ears.

Save our Princess...

"Who's your daughter?"

Aprille Brodie. We will help you meet him before our full strength disappears.

"Kenatt...Is there a reporter named Aprille Brodie here?" asked Hisashi glanced at Kenatt.

"none. The last report I got was no one called Aprille Brodie. Why?"

"I do not detect lies in their voices.Is there anything we do not yet know?" hisashi hissis. He felt the sensation of warm air and increasingly warm around him.

Haruko raised her hand giving the code to her group to pause for a moment. Eve they had never felt was getting warmer.

"Eve, Dimi.. Can we rest for a while?"

"Yeah, it doesn't matter if we just go around in circles. I think" replied Dimitri immediately sat straightening his legs that began to ache.

"It is not usual that the air in this theater warms up like this" Eve muttered in reply to a nod of assurances from Haruko and Dimitri. They both admitted just this time, they felt the comfort of being inside the old Theatre.

Eve blinked her eyes for a moment and then she looked straight at the two figures, three feet away from where she was laying down.

"You're the one in my dream" Eve muttered as she stood up slowly. They nodded and smiled. Mr. Brodie stretched out his hands and crouched to look long at Eve. Mrs. Brodie crouched down next to her husband.

Eve immediately ran towards them and welcomed the warm embrace.

"My little daughter." said Mr. Brodie in the arms of little Eve and Mrs. Brodie.

"Little princess?" muttered Eve broke free from Mr and Mrs's embrace. Brodie. The girl looked towards the beginning as she stood up...Eve was silent for a moment staring at herself lying beside Dimi and Haruko who were also asleep. Eve checked both palms. Wh why? Is he dreaming again? Eve's hand was as small as a child's.

The girl looked back question mark at the young couple before her now.

"Yes Aprille.you are our little princess. Can you remember us, son?" ask Mrs. Brodie soft.

"Mom's...Dad...did you guys come pick me up?"

"What does Dad say at the end of our meeting?" ask Mr. Brodie is as firm as possible.

"You should be able to fight Zilky alone baby, don't give up. You promised" added Mr. Brodie reaches out to Eve's two tiny hands.

"This time you're not alone. There's someone we believe can help you. He'll leave a trail for you" Mrs continued. Brodie's full of faith.

"Why didn't he see me? Why just give me a hint?"

"Zilky and the other two demons blocked the eye view of anyone trapped inside here. They made it in, but couldn't find you" replied Mrs. Brodie stroked Eve's hair.

"He once met you honey, but not long after, the devil threw them back into the human dimension. Remember well. His name is Hisashi.he's a real human figure like you. Go see him when Hisashi calls you" said Mr. Brodie gripped tightly on Eve's shoulders. The air gradually cools and gets colder.

"Remember this mantra well. Say this spell when you wake up then, you'll connect with him" hurriedly Mr. Brodie whispers a spell into Eve's ear before a big earthquake hits the floor where Eve's landslide buries her into the ground.
