"Ugh... Honestly, the general is still here, why are you all so desperate! Ouch... The people who come for therapy are so emotionally extreme, my stomach hurts from all that negative emotion stuff." A purple-haired girl leaned against the wooden door, clutching her stomach and groaning, her words full of resentment.

A girl with long hair that had a gradient of blue, white, and purple walked out and said helplessly.

“Azi, there’s nothing we can do about it. The general hasn’t clearly explained how to solve the problems facing Inazuma. The world is about to be destroyed, other countries have all left, and the general’s answer is unclear.”

"Although everyone believes that the General will bring a bright future to everyone, the current problems have not been resolved, and people are prone to extreme emotions."

Luo Sheng stopped and looked at the two girls who were talking, then looked up at the shop's signboard 'Qiusha Qiantang'.

'Akisa Sentang' is a psychotherapy center that operates an artificial hot spring using winter-themed technology. The owner dreams that Tsukishiro Mizuki is a yokai (monster) who also acts as a psychotherapist. She uses the yokai's ability to eat away the negative emotions of her guests. All the psychotherapists here are yokai.

Moreover, Yumezuki is a close friend of Yae no Miko.

Los Saint walked towards the 'Autumn Sand Bathhouse'. Since he was already there, he might as well enjoy the psychological therapy services of the dream-eating monster girl.

"Welcome, guest, please come in." Upon seeing the arrival of a guest, Meng Jianyue Ruixi quickly ended the conversation and spoke gently to Luo Sheng.

Chapter 206: The Dream of Gods, the Eternal Folly

"Yes, arrange the best hot spring baths and the best service." Luo Sheng said with a smile as he walked into the 'Qiusha Hot Spring'.

Most of the buildings in Inazuma are made of wood, and the windows are mostly covered with very durable straw paper. If you remove some of the out-of-place fantasy elements, it feels like you've stepped back into an ancient world.

"Um...guest..." Yumezuki suddenly widened her eyes and stared directly into the 'guest's' golden eyes. Her body actually stiffened subconsciously. In her perception, the 'guest' in front of her was just an ordinary human, at most someone with an outstanding appearance.

This slight sense of disorientation left her somewhat taken aback.

She is a great yokai, though not as famous as the great yokai and divine servants in Inazuma's history. Who else can give her this feeling?

She had met the general before, and the profound and terrifying aura of that deity didn't seem as intense in the face of this sense of estrangement.

"What's wrong, ma'am?" Luo Sheng smiled as he looked at Yumiko Mizuki, who had suddenly frozen in place.

He was just a wisp of divine thought. Even though he had tried his best to conceal his aura, his body was still made of energy. Although he had shielded himself from the subjective consciousness of life, people who got too close to him would still instinctively feel a sense of disorientation.

This is like placing a nuclear bomb in front of someone who doesn't know what a nuclear bomb is or its power. They won't be afraid, but once they know what it is, they will instinctively be afraid. This is the instinct of life to seek advantage and avoid harm.

Ordinary people in Inazuma do not possess power, so they do not understand what power is. Because they do not know, they are not afraid. Yokai are different. A yokai that can transform into human form represents that it has reached adulthood.

Adult demons possess considerable power, at least equivalent to a second-tier superhuman, while great demons approach or even reach the fourth tier, and some powerful great demons can even reach the fifth tier.

This refers to the energy index reaching 'level five', not strength.

The extraordinary system he created is a hexagonal monster, with perfect stats, perfect mechanics, and the ability to unleash its full potential in times of crisis.

Therefore, monsters with high internal energy can sense this sense of disorientation, even if they cannot perceive anything unusual in their subjective consciousness.

Therefore, the more energy in the body, the stronger this sense of disorientation becomes, especially for non-humans who rely on energy to exist normally. Humans can only perceive the sense of disorientation brought about by the divine energy body when they reach the sixth level or above.

This sense of disorientation has different effects on different non-human life forms. For heroic spirits, it means that their divine consciousness is clearly visible but they cannot perceive it. For monsters, it means that their perception is disorienting.

"No, no, I was a little distracted, guest. Please come inside." Meng Jianyue Ruixi replied apologetically. What had she done? The guest in front of her was clearly just an ordinary human with a very handsome appearance.

But someone this handsome must not exist in Inazuma.

Although she didn't know all the Inatsuma people, this guest's demeanor and attire were something that none of the Inatsuma people possessed... Was he in Inatsuma doing business and unable to catch up with his country's journey to the New World?

In my dream, Yue Ruixi led Luo Sheng into the hot spring area of ​​'Qiusha Qiantang'. The temperature was gradually rising, and the air was filled with water vapor. With a whoosh, the wooden door opened.

The room was neither too big nor too small, with an artificial hot spring pool emitting steam in the center of the room.

"This is the best bath in our 'Autumn Sand Bath'. The yukatas are in the bamboo baskets. Would you like some drinks and tea?"

"Yes, bring up your best wine." Los Saint nodded. Come to think of it, he hadn't had such a leisurely time since he began building the world order, nor had he ever soaked in a hot spring like this.

"Please wait a moment, guest." Meng Jianyue Ruixi gave a polite slight bow, then walked out of the wooden door.

The 'clothes' on Luo Sheng's body instantly turned into light and disappeared, turning into a towel wrapped around his waist. He walked into the hot spring, breathed a comfortable sigh of relief, leaned against the edge, and placed his hands on the edge.

Although he is an energy being, his omnipotent divine power allows him to possess true senses.

"The monster girls in Inazuma are really quite good; most of them are very well-behaved."

The Inazuma youkai girls each have their own unique temperament and personality, but apart from a few rather despicable ones, they are all very kind, even more so than humans, although this is mainly due to an agreement between the Inazuma youkai and the Inazuma gods.

Although Yuki Mizuki looks similar to a succubus, she is actually an ascetic at heart.

Human emotions, including nightmares and pleasant dreams, are food for the dream-eating tapir. They are all born from human emotions. Pleasant dreams correspond to delicious food, while nightmares naturally correspond to unpalatable food.

But they not only have to control their own desires, but also digest human nightmares, making them even more ascetic than monks.

"Ah! Guest, guest! You, you've gotten into a teapot!" A panicked voice came from the doorway. A tall, pink-haired girl dressed in a pink maid-style outfit blushed deeply. She was holding a wooden tray with a pot of sake, a sake cup, and a small dish of dried fruit.

"Don't panic, just leave it at the door," Luo Sheng said calmly.

There are actually quite a few dream-eating tapirs that can take the form of 'Qiusha Qiantang', but only three appear in the game's story: the owner, Yuki Mizuki; the formal healer, Shiba Yuki; and Shiba Yuki's younger sister, Hyakuna Shiro.

The younger sister, Bai Ri Bai Yin, transforms into a tall, mature, timid, and cowardly older sister, while the older sister, Shiba Ye Zi, transforms into a petite, cute, and sharp-tongued woman.

"I... I'll bring it to you then." Bai Ri Bai Yin blushed and lowered her head as she walked to Luo Sheng's side, placed the wooden tray next to him, and then quickly stepped out in her wooden clogs, closing the wooden door behind her.

Los Saint calmly poured himself a drink, filling a small red goblet to the brim. He brought it to his lips and sipped slowly. Among ordinary wines, it was only considered above average, not quite a fine one.

"What's wrong? Bai Baiyin, I asked you to deliver the wine, why is your face so red? Did you drink the guest's wine?" The petite girl with short purple hair tied in two small pigtails asked, arms crossed.

"No, no... Sister," Bai Ri Baiyin quickly shook her head.

"Then why are you blushing? Did you mess up again?" Chai Yezi frowned.

"No... well, they're just new guests, and they even started brewing tea before the snacks were even served..." Bai Ri Bai Yin said, blushing.

"Huh? Who is it? Did they harass you?" Chai Yezi clenched her fists instantly upon hearing this: "You dare to cause trouble without even reading the rules of our 'Qiusha Qiantang'?"

"Be quiet, Azi." Meng Jianyue Ruixi walked over and said gently, "Are you a guest in the innermost hot spring?"

"Well, but he didn't flirt with me, and he's a guest I've never met before. Maybe he's a new guest and doesn't know the rules yet," Bai Ri Bai Yin quickly said.

“That’s indeed a new customer. Let me handle his ‘psychological therapy’,” said Yumezuki Mizuki. She had a feeling that the customer was somewhat unusual. He had a smiling face and no negative emotions in his eyes. Did he really come to Qiusha Public Bath for ‘psychological therapy’?

Or do you simply want to soak in the hot springs?

She was very curious about this special guest and wanted to see what the psychological state of the guest who made her feel disconnected was like.

"The boss actually took action himself, what a lucky new customer," Chai Yezi said.

Time passed little by little.

After soaking comfortably in the hot spring, Los Saint stepped out of the pool, and a flash of light appeared on his body, revealing a set of 'Autumn Bath' clothes. The life of a god is certainly transcendent, but the life of an ordinary person is also quite enjoyable.

With a creak, the wooden door opened, and I stepped out of the hot spring area.

"Have the guests finished soaking? Do they want to rest for a bit or start the 'psychological treatment' right away?" Meng Jianyue Ruixi asked Luo Shengwen gently.

"Let's begin now," Luo Sheng said with a smile. However, he really didn't have any negative emotions. Even if he did, they were all self-inflicted; external factors couldn't possibly cause him to have negative emotions.

"Please come this way. Psychological counseling is a one-on-one service and takes a long time. If you have any questions, please feel free to discuss them in detail," said Yumezuki Mizuki with a smile.

“No problem,” Los Saint said.

In the dream, Mizuki led Los Angeles to a room decorated in a girlish style, with pink, red, and blue colors on everything except the walls and floor.

"Please take a seat, guest."

Luo Sheng slumped into a chair, and after a moment, looked at Yumezuki Mizuki, who was covering her chin with a pink fan, with admiration in his eyes.

If one didn't know this was a legitimate 'psychological clinic,' the atmosphere combined with the succubus-like girl would likely lead anyone to misunderstand.

"It's surprising how relaxed the guests are, since it's their first time here." Meng Jianyue Ruixi looked at Luo Sheng with surprise at his languid expression and relaxed demeanor. This relaxed mood made her feel relaxed too; he had a strong infectious charm.

Judging from his appearance, this guest is not only exceptionally good-looking, but also has an unusual background.

Luo Sheng remained silent, watching the Dream Eater girl approach as she spoke, every step and every movement exuding allure.

I dreamt that Mizuki and Yae no Miko were playing together and making mistakes together before they even took human form. Could it be that she learned her charm from Yae no Miko?

“Some believe that the truest human emotions, joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, are hidden in the deepest part of dreams, which is also where I intend to explore. So, next, I will put my guest into a deep sleep.” Meng Jianyue Ruixi walked up to Luo Sheng and gently fanned himself with a fan in front of him.

A psychedelic fragrance wafted from the breeze created by the fan.

"Want to enter my dream..." Luo Sheng stroked his chin. At his level, he almost never dreamed anymore, and dreams were one of the rules he had mastered.

He can dream actively, but those dreams are more like constructing a dream world, also known as a 'divine dream'.

"Are you worried about your privacy being exposed?" Yumezuki asked. "You don't need to worry, our 'Qiusha Qiantang' guarantees that we will not involve your privacy."

"After all, this is related to our reputation. If we lose our reputation, our shop will lose its signboard."

“It’s not that I’m worried about privacy…” Luo Sheng closed his eyes.

He dreamt that Mizuki lit incense to induce dreams, though it didn't work on him.

"Guest, please extend your hand."

Los Saint raised his hand, and it was gently grasped.

Next, I dreamt that Tsukimi Mizuki started using words to give me psychological suggestions. Her gentle voice would have put an ordinary person to sleep long ago.

Los Saint appeared to be asleep, but in reality, he had instantly constructed a dream, and his main consciousness was within the dream.

This dream is actually a reenactment of events that have occurred in his world. The scope of the dream is enormous, including the solar system that has been explored so far.

Such a vast dream world is so vast that even ordinary gods, let alone fourth-tier great demons, might not be able to find a way out.

"Has he entered a deep sleep?" Meng Jianyue Ruixi looked at Luo Sheng, whose breathing was steady, and reached out to touch Luo Sheng's forehead.

"Then I'll begin. I'm really curious to see what his dream will be like."

In the dream, Mizuki emanated a demonic power, and dreamlike bubbles appeared around them, enveloping the two of them.

In the dream, Mizuki begins to enter Los Angeles's dream world. As soon as she enters the dream world, she discovers that she, the dream-eating tapir, has lost control of the dream world.

"what?"

The sudden loss of control terrified her. At that moment, she felt as if she were falling into an endless, dark abyss, falling, falling endlessly.

"What kind of dream is this?"

In her dream, Mizuki was terrified. Then she stopped falling and a blinding light appeared in front of her. The surrounding darkness disappeared, and what came into view was an enormous blue and white sphere.

"That is?"

She was shocked. She was getting closer and closer to the giant sphere, which was getting bigger and bigger. She could see the clouds, the ocean, the continent, and the bay clearly.

This is a planet; the blue area is the ocean, and the rest is the continent.

Although I have never seen what a planet looks like, I have learned some miscellaneous knowledge about planets around the world while traveling to various countries.
