Chapter 562 – Dream Realm

The two of them slept next to each other, but Danji had the tendency to nuzzle closer to Aiko, since she was warmer.

While they didn't feel the coldness of the altitude, there was just something really nice about sleeping next to someone warm...

...

The next morning, Aiko was still the first one to wake up. She checked the Contract, which was pretty much wholly overwritten by the Karmic Bound.

This was good news, since Danji was completely freed from anything mind-controlling.

Witch Aiko nodded her head before she leaned back. Her silky black hair sprawled all around her. She would have to check a few things, but first, she wanted to try to contact Mei.

...

Witch Aiko drifted into the dream, but she was unable to pull anyone in, well...

'Danji still got pulled in, even if I didn't even try.' Aiko tilted her head. Maybe the main requirement was a weakened mind or being asleep, but Witch Aiko would have to try it later again.

Witch Aiko nodded as she tried to manipulate this place.

At first, she found it difficult, but eventually she was able to conjure the ground, so she wouldn't need to float around.

Danji was likewise nestled on the ground, still sleeping.

Next up were some basic, wilted trees. There were no leaves on them, since that required a lot of work, and Witch Aiko couldn't bother for the time being.

The barren earth around them was too 'cold', so Aiko added some greenery.

Well, greenery was a bit of an overstatement. She just made the grass an inch long and coloured it green.

It kind of looked like she splashed the ground with green paint, but at least it didn't feel as lifeless as before.

Witch Aiko then added a few leaves, but those few leaves made the trees look even worse, so Aiko erased them completely.

Instead of trees, she added lakes and rivers, and around the rivers, she would either add mud or rocks to make it more believable.

She then added the basic physics, like mud letting you sink and rocks making you wobble.

Witch Aiko naturally wanted to test them.

Stepping onto the mud, she did really sink, but the mud itself didn't cling to her.

Adjusting that, she realised that she was now about to lift the whole ground with her feet, so she had to adjust it again and again, until it felt like normal mud.

Witch Aiko played a bit in the mud, but she, of course, didn't add the 'The mud will permanently cling to your body, so you have to wash it off' option.

That way, she could still enjoy the clingy sensation, while not having to clean her feet again and again.

"Hehe~" Witch Aiko hummed as she played in the mud, before moving onto the rocks.

She stepped onto the rocks and her body tilted in a strange way.

"This is definitely weird..." Witch Aiko was confused, so she took another step.

Her body suddenly accelerated, and she was shot high in the sky, where she hit the boundary of the dream.

*Splat*

The sound was too comical, but it didn't end there.

She then slid slightly before falling down and planting her head into the ground...

At this point, Danji woke up and looked around, only to find an ass staring at her.

"Aiko?" Danji felt like this place was weird, but she went ahead and helped Aiko.

She pulled Aiko out of the ground.

"I'm never doing that again." Witch Aiko proclaimed like she was upset.

"What happened?" Danji tilted her head. She wanted to question Aiko about what happened to her to end up in that situation.

Witch Aiko immediately flashed a mischievous smile. "I can show you~" Her plan was quite dubious.

Danji tilted her head again, but followed Aiko. She was wondering what Aiko was plotting, but she guided her to a river with rocks.

"What's wrong?" Danji saw Aiko pause her steps.

"Nothing," Aiko said shamelessly. "Try to go there."

"Okay..." Danji felt like Aiko was making fun of her, but she would still listen.

Taking a few steps, she ended up on the rocks and her body tilted in an unnatural direction, startling her.

"Wa-" Danji waved her hands to balance her body, but she was unable to do so, and just then she took a step forward.

*Blast off*

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-" *thud*

Aiko heard that beautiful scream and the wonderful 'thud'. Now Danji would be unable to judge her for her mess up, since she ended up in the same way.

Witch Aiko hummed, following the trail of 'waaas' until she found Danji lying on the ground.

"I hate you!" Danji sniffled. She was really scared of that sudden movement!

Witch Aiko was startled. It was not as scary for her, so she felt kind of bad.

"Sorry..." Aiko apologised guiltily, and Danji hugged her while sniffling.

Witch Aiko gently patted her.

Danji smirked happily as she groped Aiko's ass.

"Oi." Witch Aiko protested when she was groped so shamelessly.

"Hmpf." Danji snorted unhappily, letting Aiko go.

"So what was that?" Danji seemed like she had never cried before, which startled Aiko.

"I have no idea. I wanted to make the rocks unsteady, but something went wrong." Witch Aiko scratched her head.

"Can you also make ice?" Danji smiled.

"Sure?" Witch Aiko tilted her head and made a whole frozen lake in front of them.

"Don't forget to make it slippery." Danji giggled.

"Sure, sure." Witch Aiko didn't think much of it, so she added it.

"Why don't you try it now?" Danji nudged Aiko gently.

Witch Aiko was about to agree when she realised she had been almost conned by this Fox!

"No." Witch Aiko glared at her. "Don't think I don't understand what you want to do, I will ne- What are you doing?!" She was startled when Danji grabbed her and dragged her onto the ice.

"Nononononono, what are you doing- Noooooooooooooooo!"

Witch Aiko protested, but it was too late. Their velocity increased until they became a smear that crashed into the dream's boundary.

*THUD*

...

Witch Aiko fell from the bed alongside Danji, who was giggling.

"Ugh." Witch Aiko groaned unhappily. She felt like her face had become completely flat from that impact.

Aiko kept touching her face before she sighed in relief, but that lingering feeling of 'flatness' was still there.

Aiko glared at Danji, who was giggling.

"That was a lot of fun, let's do that again~" Danji was happy right now. Not only did she get Aiko for herself for who knows how long, but she also didn't reject her!

"No." Witch Aiko denied it, feeling like something even worse would happen next time.

"Awww..." Danji pouted, but then she moved her body on top of Aiko and leaned on her chest.

She gazed at Aiko cutely, whispering. "I will be a good girl, let's do this again, pretty please~"

Danji gently traced Aiko's legs, making her shiver again, but then she just nestled on her chest, nuzzling gently.

Witch Aiko sighed and patted her. She didn't know if she wanted to do this, but as long as Danji didn't do anything too crazy, Aiko supposed she could accommodate her.

...

About an hour later, they were in the dream realm again. This time, the ground was the same as before, looking ever so odd, but the lake was nowhere to be seen.

"Please~" Danji begged her with gentle and submissive eyes, making Aiko's lips twitch.

"Fine, but don't drag me on it again!" Witch Aiko threatened her before she created yet another lake. It was a lot smaller than before, so even if one accelerated, they would just roll around and not hit the boundary at neck-breaking speed.

Witch Aiko sighed as she turned around to experiment with the rivers.

So far, you could walk on them, and there was no motion, so she would first add motion to them.

The river suddenly turned into a jet, carving the carefully prepared terrain and splashing around.

"Ooops." Witch Aiko coughed, slowing it down to more acceptable levels.

She stepped onto the water, but as expected, it was as hard as before, not letting her sink.

Adding that to it, Aiko immediately fell through all the way to the bottom with a silent splash.

She adjusted the viscosity, allowing her to float and then added sound to everything, so it wouldn't feel too lonely.

Meanwhile, Danji was skating on the ice, using her nails for steering and breaking.

She enjoyed it greatly, since her mother liked to do this when it was winter.

Witch Aiko then thought about warming the water, not because she really wanted warm water, but as an experiment.

'Hot spring would be the best.' Witch Aiko nodded her head. 'But aren't they random?' That single thought affected how the dream worked, and in the background, Danji was suddenly assaulted by a wild geyser!

It shot her high up in the sky before she came crashing down.

Fortunately, it didn't stun her, so she was able to spin around and land on her feet! She wouldn't end up like before!

'No, maybe their appearance should be adjusted.' Witch Aiko nodded, and another geyser shot Danji high up in the sky, but this time, she came crashing down on Aiko.

*Boom*

Witch Aiko didn't expect this at all, and they both ended up in the river.

"Why?" Witch Aiko was confused as to why she was ambushed like that.

"Why?" Danji glared at Aiko. "You shot me in the sky!"

"I didn't." Witch Aiko was speechless because of that unfounded accusation.

"I only tried to create- Ah..." Witch Aiko awkwardly coughed when she got that deathly stare from Danji.

"Yes?" Danji smiled again.

"Sorry..." Witch Aiko coughed awkwardly.

Danji sighed. She knew that this was not really her fault, but if she knew that Aiko would be doing things like this, she would stick close to her where it was safer!

"Next time you want to do something like this, wait until I'm around you." Danji narrowed her eyes.

"Ayay." Witch Aiko nodded her head, and she resumed what she was doing.

"So, I was creating a random hot-" Before she could even finish her sentence, she could hear water gushing out of the ground and saw Danji high up in the sky...

Witch Aiko immediately cancelled that dream, and they were back on the ground inside the Spirit Boat.

Danji still lay on Aiko, but her cheeks were puffed to the maximum.

"Would you believe me if I said all those times were all accidents?" Witch Aiko scratched her cheek.

"No." And with that, Danji pouted even more, but she didn't resent Aiko...
