Because Fischl knew very well that it was a dream, but she did not wake up.
In her dream, Fischl reverted to her childhood self.
To outsiders, this is no big deal.
But Fischl felt it was a nightmare.
This nightmare has no Oz, no Fischl.
It turned her back into the weak and timid girl she used to be, the little Amy who only wanted to hide behind others.
Holding her books, she wandered aimlessly down the street.
Wearing shoes, she could almost feel the chill emanating from the stone floor.
A cold sensation crept up from the soles of her feet into Fischl's heart, and her body grew much colder as a result.
She hugged the book, which was almost as big as her, tightly, drawing warmth from its cover.
This was the only warmth Fischl could obtain; as for everything else...
A dark glint flashed in Fischl's eyes, and he lowered his head considerably.
She was somewhat afraid of being seen by others, after all, she had been quite unlikeable in the past...
"Mu Xian, do you want that storybook?"
"Let's go buy it together later."
The familiar address made Fischl stop in her tracks.
She looked up at the mother and child in the distance.
My mother was that revered knight.
And that boy... his golden hair seemed to warm Fischl once again.
It's like sunlight shining on the grass, the golden sunlight leaving its lingering warmth on the grass.
Fischl froze on the spot, even dropping the book she was holding to the ground.
The boy saw the book; it was "The Boar Princess," the book he had once told Fischl about.
The story isn't just in the book; it also extends to the heartwarming moments outside the book, where the boy tells stories to Fischl.
The tender moment made Fischl hurriedly pick up the novel from the ground, but her eyes secretly glanced at the boy in front of her.
At this moment, the nightmare was no longer a nightmare, but rather the past that Fischl wanted to change.
For a very, very long time, Fischl hadn't dreamed of Gunnhildr, her older brother.
I've almost forgotten what he looks like.
But...Fischl knew that's just how her older brother was.
It turns out I've always remembered what my older brother looks like.
—Should we go there?
—It shouldn't have happened.
—After all... I was so annoying back then.
Thinking this, Fischl took small steps toward Mu Xian.
As she walked past, she slowly shed her disguise as "Princess Fischl" and reverted to being the timid little Amy.
"Is he your older brother...?"
Little Amy felt that these words had taken all her courage, and she slowly walked up to Mu Xian.
"I'm Amy..."
"Big brother, do you remember? You told me the story of the Wild Boar Princess..."
Little Amy gave Mu Xian a cautious smile.
She hoped that Mu Xian would give her the same smile.
Even in a dream, even if it's just a dream...
But it was a strange dream, one that even prevented the dreamer from having their wishes fulfilled.
Little Amy held "The Wild Boar Princess" and smiled for a long time in front of Mu Xian.
Over time, the smile gradually turned into a simple, stiff expression.
This was something Little Amy had never done before; she could even feel the gazes of those around her.
This gaze made her feel very uncomfortable.
However, she didn't want to take back her smile.
Because she saw that Mu Xian was still looking at her...
Mu Xian was indeed looking at the girl, but he was thinking about other things.
He remembered the girl in front of him named Little Amy.
Mu Xian's memories of her meant that he wouldn't have much of an emotional response to her.
The reason Mu Xian was looking at Amy was simply to confirm one thing.
The guy in front of me is a real living person.
During the Flower Goddess's birthday festival, everyone in Sumeru City was drawn into a dream on the same day.
That day, Mu Xian, who was on guard, was not pulled into the dream. Instead, he fought the strongest fragment in the Jing Shan Palace all night.
Then the Great Tree King told him about some of the things that happened in the dream.
Mu Xian felt that the current situation was exactly the same as what the Great Compassion Tree King had described, yet slightly different.
The Order of the Church pulls everyone in Sumeru City into a dream, but the Doctor only pulls in a handful of people.
That being said, the doctor's range of abilities is indeed quite broad.
It even affected some people as far away as Mondstadt...
Thinking of this, Mu Xian withdrew his gaze.
He remembered that the Great Tree King had once told him how the Little Grass God could escape the dream.
“Every dream has a subject, and in the subject’s dream, only the subject can do what they want.”
"Just make the subject realize that this is a dream, or..." kill her directly in the dream.
What Mu Xian needs to do now is to figure out who the main body is.
Previously, Mu Xian confirmed that Frey was not.
If it were her, she wouldn't have said, "Let's go buy it together later."
Instead, they simply handed the storybook to me.
As for the little Amy in front of her... it's clearly not her either.
Mu Xian quickly looked away and continued walking towards the places he hadn't been in Mondstadt before.
Mu Xian's averted gaze made Xiao Ai Mi feel a little flustered.
Holding her book, she wanted to call out to Mu Xian, but saw a figure blocking her way.
Looking up, little Amy saw Mu Xian's mother, the praised knight.
Her eyes, which had previously been friendly to everyone else in Mondstadt, now showed a wary expression.
"Sorry."
Frey said, "My son doesn't want to see you."
"You should stay away from him."
That's right, it's a bit far.
Even in a dream, Frey didn't want to see Mu Xian get hurt again.
Thinking of this, Frey turned to look at Mu Xian.
Mu Xian left without turning back, and he didn't wait for Frey's thoughts, having not spoken to her at all.
Seeing Mu Xian's state, Frey lost the desire to continue entangled with Amy.
Frey glanced warily at Amy, then quickly chased after Mu Xian.
Mu Xian heard the approaching footsteps behind him and felt somewhat irritated.
He knew whose footsteps they were, of course, but Mu Xian didn't want to have too much contact with Frey.
Especially that self-concerned attitude.
—Who is this attitude being put on for?
Mu Xian subconsciously increased his speed.
But the five-year-old boy's body meant that Mu Xian could never get rid of Frey.
The approaching footsteps behind him quickly stopped, and Mu Xian could feel an irritating weight on his head again.
"Mu Xian, Mom will protect you..."
Chapter 179 First the Mother, Then the Knight
As she spoke, Frey's touch on the blonde hair became even gentler.
Frey didn't want this dream to end.
Only now, in her dream, can Frey feel herself becoming a mother again.
...
The day Mu Xian left, Frey sat in the living room all night.
She was furious for the first half of the night. She had been teaching Mu Xian such strict chivalric doctrines, so why would he do something like running away from home?
The tolling of the West Wind Church bells pulled Frey back from her rage.
