Reborn: I'm A Dragon Girl With An OP System - Chapter 138: A Visitor In The Night

The party did not end until late due to Grace showing up. Jeeves had the house staff grill up all kinds of different things. It was quite fun. Something I haven't done in so long. Back when Cyrilia Village was established, Father used to have cookouts in the backyard. He would invite all the people who did not hate me, and we would have a fun time talking and eating grilled monsters. Some that tasted like ham and chicken, while others had tastes that were something I could not compare with earth standards. Although I guess using earth standards is something I should not be doing in the first place. I mean new world, new life, everything had its own name for each taste. But those were indeed good times.

I lay in my bed with my new giant teddy bear at my side, hugging it as I thought about the past. I guess this new home reminded me too much of my house back in the village… Well, I guess this is my home now, so I should just get used to it. I will definitely make sure to make a teleport though that will connect to the village. I do wish to see my family more often.

I will need to do proper defenses on the house tomorrow and then get myself ready for the academy test. I can't help but feel slightly nervous. I have met so many kind people so far, but I have also made many enemies, so I am expecting quite a bit of trouble.

"Let's just hope I have a future that is filled with happiness…."

The scent of blood fills the air. I am surrounded by people dying on all sides of me. The clash of magic and sword. Knights in armor are charging forward, killing the opposing side. Large monsters hover in the sky and send down large scale attacks on the ground below. Human versus human. Demi human versus demi human. War cries on all sides.

And I am standing in the midst of all of it. With a sword dripping in blood and blood splattered silver armor. "Faith, are you okay!?"

I turn my head to see a familiar face. Although she had blood smudged on her face, her beauty could not be hidden. The only difference was she looked much older. "Sophie?"

"Faith, what's wrong!? Is your ancient will taking over again!?" Sophie's words startled me as I looked at her as if she had three heads. I do not remember ever telling Sophie about my ancient will. How did she….

I looked down at my hands once more and realized they were much bigger than they should be. Even my chest was something to talk about. I was only now realizing all of this. "What… what is going on…."

"Faith…. Incoming!" Sophie yelled out as she stood in front of me with her arms open wide. I looked up to see Sophie forming a massive thirty layered barrier. But even then, each layer began shattering one after the other as if they were nothing but glass. On instinct, I raised my hand and cast a barrier in front of Sophie but to my surprise, even with all my magic power, the barrier shattered as well, and the next thing I knew… "Sophie! No!!!!"

"Hah! Sophie!" The images in front of me were now gone. I looked around to find that I was back in my new room. I guess I had a nightmare. One that was a little too realistic. Watching Sophie being penetrated by magic, punching holes into her body as he tried to protect me, was clear as day in my head. That was a Sophie I did not know. That was also a me I did not know. I looked down at my pathetic excuse of a chest and let out a sigh of relief. At least it was only a dream.

It was still early, so I laid back in my bed and looked up at the ceiling. Such a nightmare was something I had never had before. But it did remind me of the fortune that I got with Sophie. Let's just hope that things never turn out that way, or else I might end up destroying an entire country in anger. "Hmmm?"

I suddenly felt someone attack the barrier I put up around the house. It was a powerful strike at that. I got up and covered myself in a robe as I went to the window and opened it. I put my foot on the window sill and jumped out into the air, and looked around. A flash of light caught my attention at the peak of the barrier, causing my lips to twitch. "Did someone really have to show up on the first night? Could they not let me have at least a single night off?"

My body disappeared from where I stood, only to appear once more in the air above the intruders. When I saw the figures in the air, my lips twitched even more. "You damn idiot, do it quieter!"

"Your Highness, if I don't try my best, I will never break this barrier. Whoever cast it is insanely powerful!" A female with long ears whined as she raised her large sledge hammer again. The smaller figure who held on to her back, two tails, twitched back and forth as if he was angry.

"Strong or not, if you wake up, Faith, I will make sure you lose a month's salary!"The smaller figure yelled out in a hushed voice.

"You have to be kidding me!" The long eared figure replied once more. I could hear her anguish. I guess that means this would not be the first time she lost a month's salary.

I smiled slyly as I silently floated down and stood at their side. "Your Highness, here I go again!"

"Just be quieter!"

"Do you need some help?" I asked out of kindness.

"That would be very much appreciated…."

"...."

"...."

"Hi!" I smiled brightly and gave the two standing there with their mouths wide open. I gave them a welcoming wave before putting my hands behind my back and saying: "Fancy meeting you two here."
