Zongman: Dream with me

Chapter 165 Little Irena's Adventure in Another World

"Mom, I want to go out!"

In the morning, Miss Irena passed the magic test in one try and became the youngest magic apprentice in the Peace Kingdom. After bidding farewell to her mother, the extremely lovely Miss Irena once again embarked on her journey to become an apprentice.

It was very strange. She was obviously very outstanding, but due to various factors, she was rejected by the witch of Roberta in the Peace Country. Today, she was going to a forest not far away. It was said that there seemed to be a famous strange woman named Stardust Witch living there.

Well, I hope I'll have better luck this time.

A path through the forest, flanked by towering trees of the same species. The path stretched onwards, formed by the uneven, unpaved ground where no trees grew.

On the path, a young girl soared on a broomstick. Wherever she passed, the trees waved their branches in whispers, their leaves showering in blessing. Her long gray hair shone dazzlingly in the sunlight, and her glazed eyes seemed to be looking forward, but in reality, they were gazing somewhere far away. She wore a long black robe and a bellflower corsage on her chest. Though still a little immature, the girl's charm was already beginning to emerge.

So, who is this girl who can only be described as lovable?

That’s right, it’s Miss Irena.

……

Little Irene was flying in the woods when suddenly a strong wind blew and almost blew her away along with the broom under her feet. When she finally stabilized herself, she found that she seemed to have deviated from her original course.

With no other options, Irena had to temporarily land on the ground to determine her direction before setting off again. Her boots rustled against the morning grass, and Irena looked around until something nearby caught her attention.

It was a piece of goose yellow paper, floating abruptly between the two trees, emitting a faint light.

Irena walked forward with some curiosity, but the piece of paper seemed to sense someone approaching and floated in one direction, then stopped in another place. When she arrived again, the paper had floated away again.

"Huh? It can run?" Irena was completely curious and ran step by step following the direction of the paper. She didn't know how long she had been following it. Suddenly, the scenery under her feet changed, and the surroundings suddenly became extremely quiet. The wind in the forest seemed to have stopped at this moment.

Irena came to a clearing in the woods, which was the same as all the clearings she had encountered before. The only difference was that there was an open book on it, and the scattered pages were floating in the air at random. Like the page she had seen before, there seemed to be something written on it.

Irena was about to follow and take a look when she saw the pages suddenly emit a dazzling light, and then she knew nothing.

When she woke up again, she found herself in a strange city.

This was a city she had never seen or heard of, and it was not even recorded in "Nicole's Adventures".

The extremely tall buildings, the bustling street shops, the hustle and bustle of traffic on the road, and the people rushing to and fro in all kinds of bright clothes, all of these show the prosperity of this city.

Little Irena was very excited. Her dream was to travel around like Nicole in "The Adventures of Nicole", so she studied hard to imitate her. But now she came to a place that even Nicole had never set foot in. How could she not be excited?

But when she was about to say hello to a girl passing by, she found that the other party seemed to ignore her, but continued to smile and chat with her companions.

Irena: "..."

Unconvinced, she tried several more times, only to find the same result. One time, she even walked right up to a suited office worker, but he subconsciously walked past her!

Irena walked up to a girl waiting for a bus on the side of the road. She waved her hand in front of her, but she didn't react. Then she made a face at her, but she still didn't react...

"Hey--" Irena finally couldn't help but patted her shoulder.

"Ah!" The girl finally reacted and screamed, attracting the attention of passers-by. However, neither the girl who turned around nor the passers-by seemed to notice Irena...

The girl walked away, and Irena's hand, which had been frozen in the air for a long time, finally let go. Coming out of the initial excitement, Irena suddenly realized a problem - how should she go back?

She tried to summon her wand, but found that she couldn't succeed no matter what she did. Her magic disappeared?

"Maybe I'm just dreaming?" Irena began to murmur to herself doubtfully, but at this moment, there was a sudden and inexplicable impact from behind, knocking her to the ground.

"It hurts..." Irena felt a little pain.

"Are you OK?"

"I'm fine." Irena answered subconsciously, and then immediately reacted, only to find that a little girl with long black hair was pulling her companion up.

"Lu, are you okay? I told you not to run so fast!" The girl looked at her companion lying on the ground with his teeth bared, feeling worried and helpless.

"Sorry, but I think I bumped into something." The girl lying on the ground, called Lu, had short yellow hair and a hairband, looking like a tomboy.

"But I didn't see anything, Lu, are you making an excuse?" The girl with long black hair looked around but still found nothing.

"Mio-chan, I think you should give me a hand now."

……

Irena watched the girl pull her companion up. The two of them looked around again, and after finding that there was indeed nothing, they left, left...

Irena: "..."

What bad luck! Irena stood up and looked at her slightly scratched hands, which were still a little numb. Okay, at least it proved that this wasn't a dream. Next, let's continue our adventure in the city!

Although she couldn't communicate with others, fortunately she could still understand their conversations. From the bus stop nearby, she also learned that the city she was in was called Tokyo Tower.

Without a guide, she followed a few girls who were obviously out for fun, and got on the Shinkansen with them, marveling at the fact that in this world where magic didn't exist, there was such a convenient means of transportation.

So, she watched these girls shopping on the street for several hours... It was not boring, but it was. The wide variety of novel things in the shops was still very attractive to a little girl who was only fourteen years old.

Beautiful clothes, exquisite jewelry, and all kinds of cosmetics she couldn't understand, all illuminated by the lights of the store, made her want to possess them all. But unfortunately, for Irena, neither could she see them, and all of this seemed so out of reach.

There was even one time when she couldn't help but pick up one of the very beautiful star bracelets. When she turned around, she saw the frightened eyes of the customers around her. Perhaps in their eyes, they saw that the bracelet itself was inexplicably floating in the air.

For a world without magic, this is indeed incredible, isn't it? Irena thought a little frustratedly, put the bracelet back, and left the shop.

It was getting late, and Irena began to think about her accommodation for the night. Irena recalled that she had been to that furniture store while strolling in the afternoon. There were large and soft beds for display inside, which looked very comfortable. Maybe she could spend the night there.

As for dinner, Irena rubbed her stomach, which had been rumbling for a long time, and let out a long sigh.

Arriving at a traffic light, Irena waited silently. Although she could roughly understand the function of this thing, looking at the road ahead with not many vehicles, the impatient person next to her had already started to go ahead.

So what's the point of this rule? Maybe we should design a magic trick so that everyone can follow it.

Just then, Irena noticed someone staring at her from across the street. She looked up and saw that it was another very cute girl, though a little less attractive than her.

Irena tried to wave, and to her surprise, the other side responded, and then she ran over subconsciously. But when she realized it, the truck's headlights were already in front of her.

Everyone already knows the story that follows.
