Hun was standing still, watching the man sleeping on the shoji.
"Ehm… hello?" Hun's eyes were closed, as his mouth was smiling a bit, while a sweat drop appears on his head's right side.
"Ronf! Huh?" The man's eyes opened. "… M-Master Hun?!" He lifted his posture, as his arms stretched down on his sides. "It's a great honor to talk with you!" He nodded. "Where is Master Fara?"
"Ehm…" Hun's mouth downturned, as his eyebrows went up. "She…"
"Is she in trouble?!" The man's arms opened a bit. "Leave it to me, Master! I"
"No no, the situation is under control!" Hun's head shook. "I'm here to enter inside the Room of Sleep."
"… why? There is nothing in that room…" The man turned behind for a moment. "… ah, who cares: you are the Master of the Shrine, so I can't really question any decisions…" His hands opened the shoji, each side going towards the wall laterally. "Same for Master Fara's ones! Speaking of her, are you sure that Master Fara"
"Don't worry about her: she's fine." Hun sighed loudly.
"… alright." He walked to the left.
Hun stared at the room, which had blue and yellow cushions in the middle of a platform.
"I'll go inside…" The boy began walking forward, entering inside the room. "Huh… I don't see any purple smoke here."
Hun's head turned around… his sight rested on the wall on the right: it had a white, painting above a short, wooden table with an open book standing on its center.
"… that thing is odd. Don't know why, though…" His right hand went on the top of his head, scratching a bit.
Gradually, the painting began showing Fara walking to the right, surrounded by Shrine-like buildings, grass and trees: some of their own, respective colors were a bit out from their shapes.
"FARA!" Hun's eyes expanded, as he immediately rushed towards the painting. "FARA!"
His hands went on the painting: Fara kept walking towards the same direction. Her eyebrows were up, as occasionally she turned her head around…
"… what's going on, now?!" Hun turned behind. "Hey! I need"
His eyes were seeing the shoji closed. His mouth flattened. The boy frowned, as he bended forward.
Tch, tch, tch…
"Yikes!" Hun jumped, as he immediately turned around.
… I told you to reach your little sister…
"Where are you?!" Hun snorted, while frowning a lot and turning behind. "Wh-what have you done to my little sister?!"
You want to know? Eh eh, ha ha! Tch, tch… you will see…
"No, I don't want to see it!" Hun shook, as he took some steps forward. "Leave us alone! We have done nothing wrong to you!"
Uhm… those words you said… there is no doubt about it: you are truly the Master who was supposed to return one day in the Shrine.
"I-I just want to protect my people…" Hun's eyebrows went up. "It's not just because of my role… I really can't stand watching this terrible injustice!" He frowned. "If you are insisting on your intentions, I have to stop you… even if that would mean to risk my life!"
Tch, tch, tch… the owner is as ignorant as you are. You were supposed to see pure energy… you can only see the trail I purposely left in the air.
"… WHAT?!" Hun's mouth opened wide.
I'm not just any ordinary Demon Squid, as other idiots would call me. I'm the reason your little sister is stuck inside the paper world.
"I suspected that!" Hun's right foot slides forward. "Show yourself and face me, if you really think"
I can't… your presence is needed.
"My… presence?" His eyes expanded.
You want to see your little sister…? You have to do me a little favor, first…
Hun swallowed silently, as sweat covered his forehead.
You have to sleep in the middle of this room… with the powers you got earlier, you will be able to enter inside
Hun, don't listen to him! He's after
The weapon… tch, tch, tch!
"The weapon I mentioned earlier?!" Hun frowned even more.
Yes… I want it.
"Th-this was your goal all along?!" Hun took more steps forward, as his head was looking around.
Once I have it, I can turn into my perfect form… I'll become the King of Demon Squids and I'll conquer the world under my reign.
"NO!" Hun's teeth gritted, as his irises shrunk.
You fool! No one can claim that weapon, except for a true Master!
Tch, tch… your ignorance is almost funny… I have a sacred item with me, which will fill the weapon with negative energy. The weapon will become mine and mine only. Once I'll be a king, I'll exile the Masters in a far land…
"I refuse to give you the weapon!" Hun's fists clenched.
… you don't want to see your little sister going away before you… right?
"AAH!" Hun's mouth opened wide, as he took some steps backwards. "No… NO!" His eyes went a bit watery.
I promise to spare both of you… but I want to be paid for that. Go get that weapon… or else I'll destroy the paper where your sister is in.
"Nnn…" Hun's eyes went watery. "… nnn…" He sniffed loudly. "… gr-grandpa… I"
Hun, the choice is yours. I can't help you…
"N-no… no…" A tear went down from his right eye. "It-it can't end like this…"
Choose quickly... I'm about to give the paper a little strap…
"NO! NOOO!" Hun's hands moved sideways, in opposite ways. "I-I'll give you the weapon! I-I PROMISE!"
… tch, tch, tch… if you had listened to that woman, things would had moved faster. No matter… my patience is still intact. Intact… until a certain point.
"Wh-what do you want, now?!" Hun's right wrist drenched his eyes. "Don't you have enough?!"
I can't enter inside the painting… right now, your powers turned the painting into a "watching-eye" which can let you see the Squids you are mostly worried about. The painting is also a gateway for the weapon… but you can only access to it, by sleeping.
"… how can I sleep, like this…?" Hun sniffed loudly. "It would take a while…"
This room is filled with sleeping powers: you have to lie on the cushions and sleep. You will soon enter inside the painting… once inside, don't you dare to come back without the weapon. My patience will certainly run out… and I'll strap that paper.
"You… you will not get away with this!" Hun's head rose, while frowning a lot. "Being a king will not make you better! You would still be the same monster you are!"
… get inside the painting… my patience is starting to crumble.
Hun growled loudly.
