Chapter 1737 The Young Lady of Yamato IV
"Do you think that this Nether individual is real?" Saito Hajime asked Kondo.
"I will not want to say that my cute niece is losing her mind due to her sickness, but she has a very healthy and determined mind. That is not the emotion of someone that succumbs to their illness. She is filled with hope that she will indeed get better." Kondo replied.
"That is what I fear the most. She is filled with hope, but it might turn into despair if she does not get what she wants to happen. The Nether that he talked about is from a dream that she experiences when she cannot wake up easily." Saito Hajime stated as he is worried for his daughter.
"I know. I also thought that she might get the Eternal Sleep once again, but the Four Cardinal Beasts did tell me that their parts are not complete cures. Only those that have the power of death or sleep could completely cure her." Kondo stated.
"Was there really now way for the Prophet of Death to come to our continent?" Saito Hajime asked as he knew that there is a church in the central continent that has control over life and death.
"The church elders of the Church of Death were more than helpful when I asked them for help in crafting the potion. Even the prophet himself stepped up when I needed help, and he did not ask anything in return. I wanted to invite him to the eastern continent, but the elders of the Church of Death told me that the outside world is very dangerous for the prophet.
They did tell me that we could bring Yumeko to them so that they could thoroughly inspect her disease, but she might not survive the trip. Even the demons that I asked help for have told me that teleporting a sick and very weak individual might make their condition worsen. I do not want to strain my little niece just for a small chance of being cured." Kondo stated.
"What if they teleport the prophet to our very location?" Saito Hajime asked.
"I also told them that suggestion, but they frowned when they heard it. They have been trying to spread their church to the eastern continent to reach more people but two of the divine beasts rejected the idea. The hidden ones would also move if another religious order were to spread in the east. One of the divine beasts that rejected the notion is the Azure Dragon which our house in under." Kondo stated.
"I can get the approval of the Azure Dragon but that still leaves one more divine beast. They must all agree in order to have the divine energy of those respected gods to be available in the east. The hidden ones are also moving much more loudly compared to before which is why they are now more alert than ever. The attack back then was also their doing because of a prophecy that my child will harm their cause." Saito Hajime stated which made him destroy a small part of his desk from anger.
"To think those beings would even dare to hurt a child. They have already fallen so low that we cannot really call them gods anymore." Kondo stated as the two of them started to discuss other stuff.

The atmosphere at the Imperial Family of Yamato is very lively ever since their young lady woke up more energetic than ever. She was still weak, but she could now do more things than before which also livened the area. In this family, the young ladies or rather it is a matriarchal type of family due to them hailing from an imperial princess.
Only the females are able to inherit the last name of Yamato while the males can also use it, but they cannot be the head of the family. The head of the family is Yumeko's mother, but she was also slightly weak due to the fight back then. She was hit by an unknown poison that crept up to her right leg which made her unable to walk easily.
Strangely enough, the poison did not spread to other parts of her body as if time froze on her leg. She still became the fierce head of the family and made sure to protect her daughter even more. The ability of their house is their great affinity to wind as they are affiliated with the Azure Dragon of the east.
They also have special abilities due to them being a descendant of the imperial family. There would be some blessed individuals that have more than their affinity to the wind. Some can be blessed with the ability to hear sound that the wind carries even if it is miles away. Their special ability is also derived from their wind affinity.
The head of the house, Yumeko's mother, also has a special ability and that is the ability to converse with the wind elementals. She was able to solidify her family even more due to this as the wind elementals fancied her. She was able to ask the wind elementals to aid her in using spells which made her power terrifying.
Yumeko also has this ability, but she was no longer able to once she was stricken with the strange condition, she was in. What they did not know is that her condition made her innate talent evolve into something different due to her fervent wish of adventuring outside. She was able to Dream Walk or rather the wind carried her soul in order to answer the deepest desire that she has.
This ability is also one of the reasons why even the God of Dreams Morpheus cannot fully cure her if she is just in the soul state. Someone also needed to make sure that her soul that is carried by the wind does not get drifted by the breeze of the afterlife. This is the reason why the God of Dreams Morpheus tasked Adrian to sprinkle Yumeko with his special dust so that the breeze of the afterlife does not carry her soul.
"Are you sure that your friend will come, my dear child?" Yumeko's mother asked with a smile as she is incredibly happy seeing her daughter be full of energy.
She usually saw Yumeko sulking or putting on a strong face which children should not be doing. Children can have a slightly mature mind, but they should also be able to be kids. No one should take their beautiful innocence when they are at the stages of growing or else, they might look at the world in a very different light.
"Nether promised me so he would definitely come." Yumeko stated.
"Can you tell me how your friend looks like? I have already forgotten what he looks like. Mother is very curious." Yumeko's mother asked.
"I have already told you many times on how Nether looks like, mother. Did you forget again?" Yumeko stated.
"Yes. Your mother is a bit forgetful these days which is why I need my memory to be refreshed. Maybe he looks different from the last time that you described him to me. How about this… maybe one of your nannies can draw him since they are very good at sketching after all." Yumeko's mother stated.
"Sure! I can describe what he looks like, and you can draw him. That would be a great present to him!" Yumeko stated as she started describing how Adrian looked like in Limbo.
Yumeko began describing Adrian's true form as vividly as she can, but she cannot capture everything as she is still a child. Still, the descriptions that she gave on how Adrian looked like became even more worrying for Yumeko's mother and attendant. Yumeko basically told them a description of an evil spirit as she told them that Nether gives off this powerful but soothing pure black aura.
"I think that you have described him very thoroughly, my child. Good job. You should take some rest as you need your energy when you friend arrives after all. It is now time for you afternoon rest." Yumeko's mother stated as she told the attendant to bring Yumeko to her room to rest.
"Okay! I love you, mother. Make sure to prepare well when Nether comes." Yumeko stated as she returned to her room.
"Mistress… Is the young lady not being plagued by an evil spirit? Should we call upon an Onmyoji of the highest order?" The attendant stated as she started praying when she saw what she has drawn.
"Shirohe, do you think that my daughter is being plagued by an evil spirit?" Yumeko's mother asked as a large white snake suddenly appeared behind her.
"I have been making sure that Yumeko does not get the attention of other spiritual entities. She is not plagued by evil spirits. I am very sure of it." Shirohe stated.
"Then is Yumeko's friend real then? Can she really travel in her dreams?" Yumeko's mother stated with worry but she decided to wait a week for this friend to come so that it is all true.
