Chapter 125: From Dream To Nightmare

At his cry for help, the echoing shout brought the sound of a distant projectile closing in at a high-velocity, ripping through the atmosphere as it hurdled to their location.

With a single twinkle against the blue sky above, the Witch of Wrath rocketed onto the scene, fist first.

Minerva: For crying out LOUD!!

Blown back from her impact, YN was flung to the next grassy hill over, and was airborne for several seconds, and rag-dolled upon landing. Yet as he came to a halt, he felt no pain.

Huh...?

YN: Bleh!

Spitting a clump of grass and dirt from his mouth, YN checked to see what he had broken from the impact. The feeling of zero pain made him fearful he had injured his spine or head, and the damage simply wasn't registering.

Yet as he patted himself down, spare a few grass stains on his clothes now, he found he was surprisingly fine.

In fact, his back actually felt less stiff than it had before he was launched.

I guess that's the Witch of Wrath for ya...

Recalling Minerva's authority and its healing powers, YN shook his head and rushed down the hill he had landed on before scrambling back up the one that still held Echidna's tea party.

We gotta get Subaru healed!

Left like that too long, YN worried what sort of permanent damage might occur to his fellow wayward traveling companions mind.

Practically on all fours, climbing up the steepest side of the grassy hill, YN reached the top as his lungs burned and he panted for air.

YN: Oh thank goodness.

Nearly collapsing from the scene before him, YN caught himself by falling to his knees.

By the time he had reached them, Minerva had already healed Subaru, who had now walked over to where YN was trying to catch his breath, thankfully dispelling the worst of his worries.

Subaru: I gotta say, you look almost as bad as I did a few minutes ago.

Offering out a hand, YN took it and was helped up by the black-haired boy.

YN: Not at all. I don't think I ever want to see something that harrowing again.

Subaru could only weakly look back at YN with a silent nod. Clearly he was still disturbed from actually experiencing the effects of Gluttony, which had only just been removed from him.

Joining them now though, was the short, but well endowed Witch that had heard YN's call for help.

Minerva: Daphne wanted me to let you both know 'That's how the Great Hare feels all the time.'

With a pout, Minerva relayed the message she had been asked to. As YN and Subaru exchanged a look, it was YN who spoke up first in reply.

YN: So she wanted one of us to understand how it feels to be the Hare? Are you kidding me?

Subaru: Maybe so we can understand how it behaves?

Minerva: All I know is that was way too cruel. Making others feel pain and be hurt just to teach them a lesson isn't a virtue worth knowing!

Minerva became more flustered as she went on saying that, causing small tears of frustration to form in her blue eyes as she crossed her arms under her ample chest, making it bounce in a pronounced way.
