Legend of Dream God in a Little Dream

"Ah?" Nata didn't quite understand what he said, because she felt that it was contradictory. How could one have ideals and not have them at the same time? It's like a gold coin. When you throw it, it either comes up positive or negative.

Manli leaned close to Nata, as if she wanted to say something that Songjun couldn't hear. "Hey, you know, Songjun told us at the time that his ideal was very simple, to become stronger just to avoid being bullied."

"Ah~? This is good." Nata didn't understand why this had to be said quietly, especially since this was happening in the desert.

"Don't you think that if it was Songjun, he could have saved many, many people, but he said his ideal was just to not be bullied, which is a bit too ordinary."

"That's right," Nata thought about it and agreed. This was her last friend, and there was no need to destroy the friendship over meaningless things.

"Look, you obviously mind my evaluation of Zengjun." Manli took another bite of the pear.

"No, no, I don't mind," Nata said in a low voice, which seemed particularly unconfident. It was more like a compromise.

"Really? You need to be braver, then you will be more charming. Then everyone will look up to you, including me and Zengjun." Manli raised the index finger of her right hand and pointed towards the air inside the wooden house.

Nata looked at the wood Manli was pointing at, "Wood? Here?"

"No, it's the sky, that's your home." Manli retracted her index finger.

"But……"

Before she could finish her words, Manli interrupted her, "But you are not welcome there, right? What if I say we welcome you?"

"you?"

"Yes, we, our group of people are willing to accept you. I can feel that Zengjun is also incompatible with the heaven, but he is still living under the shadow of the heaven. Those dark sides have not defeated him. If it were you, you could do it too." Manli looked into Nata's eyes confidently and said, she will once again be the first person to accept Nata.

"But I'm afraid. I don't even have the courage to find Zengjun, so how can I change other people's opinions?" Nata also took a pear in her hand and ate it in small bites.

"Look, you still don't understand. What I mean is that we don't need to care about what others think of us. We are who we are, not what others think of us. Am I clear?"

Nata nodded, "So, what should I do?"

Manli quickly finished eating the pear and showed the core to Nata. "This is the first step. You should also try to give up your ladylike appearance. There are only two of us here, and no one else will see us."

Nata looked at the pear core, hesitated for a moment, and then ate it in big mouthfuls, just like Man Li. Change itself is a gamble.

Manli nodded as she watched Nata eat the pear. "Yes, the first step is to change. Let go of other people's opinions and try to be yourself. We don't need to be someone else. Following your heart is the key."

Nata also finished eating the pear and picked up the core. "I did it, but I don't like this feeling. I..."

"That's right, you have the answer in your heart, just follow your heart." Man Li put the pear core on the empty plate.

Nata also put the pear core on the empty plate. "But after doing this, I still chose the original. What's the point of doing that?"

"So how do you feel after you've created another version of yourself?"

“I prefer to maintain my original look.”

"Yes, this conclusion is different from the previous one because you have experienced another one and really don't like it." Manli smiled, "Is there water to wash my hands?"

After listening to this, Nata bent down and picked up the wash basin on the ground, then stood up and scooped a bucket of water from the small jar, brought it over, and asked as she poured it, "But I still don't understand, does it mean that I have to experience it before I know whether I like it or not?"

Manli washed her hands in the basin, "Yes, you will know whether you like it or not only after you feel it, so there is no need to deny that life is meaningless just because of some things."

Nata turned around and put the spoon back into the jar. "Really? After hearing what you said, I also became interested in other new things."

"That's fine"

"So, what's next?" Nata asked as she came back and washed her hands.

"Next, of course, you will wait with me, and then go back together to experience the new world."

After washing her hands, Nata followed Manli's example and shook off the water on her hands. "To be honest, I really want to go."

Manli looked up at Nata, "Is it because of Zengjun? This is easy, I will teach you."

"Hmm~?" Nata thought about it, and this was indeed a concern of hers.

Nata sat back in her chair and said, "How do you do it? How do you do it?"

Manli put her right fist in front of her mouth and said, "Ahem, I like you, Zengjun."

"what?"

"Just tell him this and let him deal with his reaction on his own."

Manli stood up and put her hands on Nata's shoulders. "Yes, it's that simple. Try it."

"Zeng~Zengjun, I~I~I like, like you" Nata finished the sentence stutteringly.

"Uh, it's okay, we can take it slowly. If it really doesn't work, I'll help you then," Manli comforted.

"Huh? Do you like Zengjun too? Then I won't compete with you for him..." Nata said disappointedly. After all, Nata thought that what Manli said about "I'll speak for you" meant that Manli wanted to express her feelings to Zengjun.

"Huh?" Manli was confused for a moment before reacting, "Oh, polygamy is allowed in this era. Besides, Zengjun has already married several wives."

At the same time, Songjun sneezed in the sky, "Is the weather too cold?"

The dark clouds haven't reached Manli yet.

"Really? So I still have a chance, but isn't he a little too fickle?" Nata asked, feeling a little conflicted.

"As for being fickle, it seems that there are some, but you can judge for yourself after seeing it."

"Okay, then I'll go back with you to see him later, but I have to tell you first about the possibility of my return~"

Manli hugged Nata and said, "It doesn't matter if I'm rejected. After this mission is over, I plan to travel in the human world. But before that, I have to go back to heaven to learn some magic. Are you willing to come with me?"

Nata nodded, "I am willing to travel with you even after I accept the gift, because you are very important to me."

Manli heard the tone that sounded like a confession and said, "But let me make it clear first, I'm not a lesbian." Manli explained in advance that she did not have that kind of fetish.

Nata nodded. "Yeah, this is a feeling beyond friendship, and my admiration for you. Also, I want to see this world with you, a world that I love and hate."
