(Alice POV)

"STOP IT!" (Alice)

"Alice calm down!" (Azazel)

"Wha-! oh... it's you...." (Alice)

Is this... my room? I did it again... I worried Azazel again...

It has been two months since my nightmares began, although I don't want to admit it I know the reason behind my current predicament, it was the use of the unknown power. Every day since I began training with it I would wake up sweating a lot and trembling in fear. From what I know the nightmares are supposed to be something fictional inside of your mind, yet for me, they feel so real, like they feel like their objective to make me fall... 

"Don't worry about others hearing, I sealed the area beforehand." (Azazel)

"Is that so? Thank you for the consideration." (Alice)

"Don't you think it's time to tell the principal or the masked instructor about your current condition? From my perspective your nightmares are getting worse." (Azazel)

"No... we can't tell them, you know how this will end if I tell them." (Alice)

The witch is a woman who loves screwing around and making everyone miserable, but at the same time, she cares a lot for her people, especially for those who she recognizes as family. I'll tell you a secret, I know how much the witch... Fayna treasures me, to the point I know that she sees me as her own child... Of course, I will never tell her this, as she thinks I don't know about it.

Simultaneously the masked teacher is surprisingly caring with me outside of the training, as she on multiple occasions took care of me whenever I was ill, beaten, exhausted, etc. 

I took my time to readjust my breath, trying to calm down my rampaging anxiety.

"So, do you have any clue of how can we stop the nightmares?"(Azazel)

"No... I also don't know why the nightmares didn't act until now, but it doesn't matter... I... we need to master this power as soon as possible, I want to cure my mom as soon as possible. And besides, our growth has been fast for the last few months" (Alice)

"I won't deny our fast growth, but we need to be careful, as nothing in this world is free. I know you want to cure your mother as soon as possible, but this  destructive behavior won't help us at all, it will bring more harm than good." (Azazel)

"Don't worry, I won't break until we have cured my mother and recovered your memories." (Alice)

"My memories aren't important right now, what I want is your well being." (Azazel)

"I'm ok, and I will be ok. Just let me master this power, then I will rest as long as I want, to the point I'll become one with the bed." (Alice)

".....You win. But in the slightest sign of your condition getting worse I will spill the beans, ok?" (Azazel)

"Thank you. That being said, I don't feel sleepy anymore after waking up like that, why don't we see the dawn together?" (Alice)

"Alright." (Azazel)

With everything settled, I opened a window near my bed to see the dawn, after opening it I felt the cold air on my face, sweeping away my worries. While watching the dawn I ended up chatting with Azazel to kill time, as it was very early.

"Alice... are you awake? That's right! Alice! we need to get down quickly as soon as possible, otherwise there won't be left any special breakfast if you don't hurry! Oh god, the breakfaaaaast!" (Fari)

"Pffff. Calm down Fari, you can go down first, I will be there in a minute." (Alice)

Hearing Fari's voice meant the end of our free time, because of what happened I forgot that Fari was sleeping in the same room as me. I felt thankful again for Azazel's consideration. By the way, it seems that Fari really liked the food of this inn, why you ask? well, you see, Waking up Fari isn't an easy task, you need to use physical force if you want to wake her up. But everything changed since she tasted the food of this inn, I can't blame her, as the food here is delicious. Surprisingly Fari liked the food more than we expected, as she wakes up on her own every day.

Seeing the nervous Fari dressing in a panic because of the special breakfast brought a smile to my face, completely dissipating the worries that haunted my heart. I too wanted to eat the special breakfast but, I didn't want to dress in a hurry as I often make mistakes if I dress quickly. Because of this, I took my time to dress before walking to the inn's canteen, thinking that there's no way every special breakfast would be sold already.

It was a shame that when I ordered the special breakfast the cook told me they were sold, forcing me to order a normal breakfast. Depressed by my miscalculation I looked at my food a little regretful for not hurrying, I let out a sight trying to put aside my sadness while searching for either Fari, Rine, or Lapis. It didn't take me a lot to find them, as I found them waiting for me in the corner of the canteen while eating their breakfast. As I approached them I couldn't help to compare my regular breakfast with their special breakfast, feeling sad for missing it. When I reached them I got surprised by the extra order in front of an empty chair.

"There is a great number of people who got up early, when Fari told us you would take your time we decided to buy you an order." (Rine)

Touched by their consideration I ate the special breakfast, I felt how their consideration made this breakfast taste better. I can't stop remarking how good this breakfast is, the scrambled eggs are mixed with small slices of meat in the perfect ratio of 3:1, the orange juice has an incredible citric flavor that enhances the taste of the eggs, and finally the slices of apple are coated in small amounts of honey giving a sweet contrast with the salty and sour flavors. This was a perfectly balanced food, as all food should be.

After enjoying the breakfast Lapis took a map out of her storage device while signaling a marked point on the map.

"It has been two days since we arrived at the holy kingdom, according to the plan today we have to meet the principal at this location. I believe everyone is ready, but I'll ask just in case, do you need to do something before we go?" (Lapis)

"I don't believe so, did the principal give you additional  information?" (Rine)

"You could say there is something similar... Her instructions for today have a pretty peculiar... task." (Lapis)

"What is this time?" (Alice)

"From what I see this task isn't hard, but it seems tedious, anyway we need to go now, and don't forget to keep your eyes open. Although this mission looks easy we don't know what could happen." (Lapis)

With our information limited by the witch, we had no other choice but to prepare contingencies plans. The plan was set so we left the inn after giving the dishes to the waitress and paying for the food. I absolutely won't mention what happened to the last guy who left without paying... it was scary.
