Working up a quick sweat, I travelled to the room neighbouring my own. When I entered, Laham was standing next to Yarra, wearing his green priest"s robes. Lowering the gaze of his beautiful amber eyes, he gave a slight bow for the sake of formalities. His long waist length aqua hair fell to the side.
Laham and Yarra were older, but they were like my childhood friends. More so, Laham was also my teacher, as well as an older brother figure. The room next to my private room was originally meant to be put to use by my partner, it was now a simple common room with a sofa and a table.
Hearing the details, Laham shook in anger. For Laham, who was a priest and a doctor, the contents of my dream were intolerable.
"His internal organs were exposed? Where is that barbarian, I won"t forgive you! What were you dawdling for. We should have summoned him sooner. What would you do if that child died. Quickly tell me what you"ve heard one by one. What is that child"s name? Don"t tell me, that after observing him for three forests, you"re going to tell me something stupid like you don"t know?"
"H-hey, Laham, your wording is…"
Yarra spoke out in warning, but before he could finish saying everything, under Laham"s glare, the force in his words disappeared.
"How can you stay calm! Well? Do you know what his name is?"
"I don"t know."
"Your Highness?"
"Unbelievable!"
Under the two"s criticizing looks, I rephrased my words, so they could understand a little better.
"If I remember correctly, they had called him To-kun."
Several people called him by that name, but I think it changed every time. Laham"s anger rose at my ambiguous answer.
"For now, please write down all the names you know of on this paper. Yarra, go get four full-length mirrors that can reflect from head to toe, no, please bring six here."
I obediently took the piece of paper. I wanted to save him as soon as possible.
"Ahh, I"ll go get the mirrors, but are you going to do it now? It"s midnight?"
Even though we all wanted to hurry, Yarra nipped at our impatience.
"What if he dies? There"s no time. Please quickly get the preparations."
There was nothing left to be said after those words. Pushing Yarra"s back in the direction to leave, Laham used his magic and began writing the names one by one in the air from the top of the paper.
"Tsk. None of these match. Just now, why did you say that he was watching here as well?"
"Ah, I heard him say my name?"
"Is that so. Just through listening, I"d also like to hear what these words are. Here, I"m listening right now!"
"I don"t understand the language."
"You! What have you been doing for three forests!"
I honestly had to agree with him. Even the boy already somewhat knew our language.
"The boy understands our language."
"Have you ever spoken to him?"
"No, I"ve never interacted with him. In the dream just now, he spoke our language and asked for help."
"~~hn! In that case please ask for his name right now! Please speak into the mirror. It can be used to cross worlds."
The door opened at the same time he was speaking, Yarra came in with a large mirror. Under Laham"s instructions, this was one half of a pair, and with the opposite mirror, we could speak to each other.
"Write your name on the mirror and read it out loud. I want to save you. Tell me your name."
I repeated it many times with easy to understand words. Yarra continued to fix the mirrors, Laham drew a magic square around each mirror. When the two finished working, I earnestly headed towards the mirror.
