Type-Moon Simulation: Starting with Conquering a Greek Goddess!-Chapter 98 - : Dream Demon? Succubus!

[You woke up from hibernation soon after]

[What you smelled was not the earthy scent of the underground]

[A mix of fresh floral fragrances filled your senses, and even the temperature on your skin felt just right]

[It was as if all burdens had been lifted]

[There was an indescribable sense of comfort]

This was the Land of Fantasy, Avalon.

It was a wondrous realm within the Inner Sea of the Planet.

Here, there was an endless sea of flowers stretching to the horizon, and everything seemed to be wrapped in a dreamlike hue.

The air, the wind, the water—

Everything was warm and serene.

It was as if even the destruction of the world could not shake this fantasy. If there was a heaven, it must be like this.

[You opened your eyes to this scenery]

[The vastness of the Inner Sea of the Planet far exceeded ordinary imagination. Although you had never set foot in this realm independent of the Inner Sea, your intuition and Albion's records told you—]

[This was the Land of Ideals, Avalon]

[The last thing you remembered was the dream demon forming an alliance with you. It was likely she who brought you here]

"Oh, this is incredible! As expected of the Boundary Dragon, Albion. Hmm, hmm, such a naturally perfect composition. No wonder you could still function like this on the Earth's surface, even as the Age of Gods faded..."

[A voice of admiration sounded beside you]

[Needless to say, this was the mastermind who brought you to Avalon]

[You also knew her identity]

[Merlin Ambrosius]

[A figure who appeared in countless myths and legends, standing at the pinnacle of great magus. She was a hybrid of human and dream demon, possessing the "Eyes of the World," the proof of the highest-ranking magus]

[The reason she could help you]

[Was precisely because of this Clairvoyance]

"Wait, looking is fine, but you're actually touching me now!?"

"Oh! You're awake. Hehe, how does Avalon feel? Much more comfortable than the Earth's surface, right?"

"Hmph, don't think you can change the subject by acting cute."

Moran grabbed Merlin's slender wrist.

From the moment she started, she had been examining him like a pervert.

Her gaze was unsettling.

"Don't mind it, Albion, the Dragon of the Boundary, is the pinnacle of phantasmal species. I'm just a little curious, after all, a being like you is one of a kind in this world! To a magus, you're as tempting as a delicacy!"

"So, according to you, it's my fault?"

"Alright, alright, I admit it's my fault. As an apology, hmm... how about I let you make it up to me? Want to learn about the composition of a dream demon big sister?"

Merlin blinked with a sly smile.

Her every movement exuded a refreshing floral scent.

Like a little devil whispering in your ear.

"Is that so? I won't hold back, then."

Moran wasn't about to indulge Merlin.

He knew that if he let this woman have her way, she would only become more brazen in the future.

[Just as Merlin had done initially]

[You returned the favor in kind, thoroughly understanding the composition of a dream demon]

[Of course, it was with your hands]

"Huff... you really... didn't hold back...!"

Merlin's cheeks were flushed.

The front of her robe was noticeably wrinkled.

"I'm just teaching you that not everyone can be toyed with so casually. Considering our alliance, I've been quite polite. I haven't even eaten you yet."

Moran recalled the sensation in his hands.

Although Merlin was a hybrid of human and dream demon, her body's flexibility was top-notch.

He would have been gentler with other women.

But Moran knew the true nature of this dream demon.

[Dream demons do not possess human emotions]

[They are inherently non-human phantasms, merely appearing to have human-like emotions]

[In reality, these emotions are borrowed]

[They rely on the dreams of others as fuel to sustain them]

"Ahem, let's set aside the awkward part and allow me to introduce myself—I am Merlin, as you can see, a hybrid of human and dream demon, and currently the court magus assisting King Uther in Britain."

[Merlin coughed lightly to mask her embarrassment]

[In an instant, she transformed back into the elegant Flower Magus]

[She casually introduced herself]

[After you introduced yourself, you asked her a crucial question—]

"Merlin, why did you help me? For you, forming an alliance with me shouldn't hold much significance, right?"

"Hehe, talking about significance... actually, I just thought it would be interesting. So, I decided to lend a hand."

Merlin's answer was straightforward.

Moran couldn't find any reason to doubt her.

She had a hedonistic streak.

"In this final age of the fading Age of Gods.

The Dragon of the Boundary, Albion, standing at the pinnacle of phantasmal species, what decisions will you ultimately make, what stories will unfold.

Moran, don't you think this is something worth looking forward to?"

Merlin revealed a dreamlike, beautiful smile.

This thought was her true intention.

[Dream demons do not save others out of kindness]

[Rather, she chose to help because she found it interesting]

[She always acted according to this principle]

"Of course, I didn't have this idea right away. Through my Clairvoyance, I saw the Dragon's Heart continuously climbing upward, witnessing the dragon, once driven to the brink by the world, once again yearning for the light and striving upward. I couldn't help but cheer for you in secret!"

Merlin clenched her fists in excitement.

She unconsciously leaned her face closer.

The fragrance carried by the breeze was quite enticing.

Beautiful yet alluring.

"With such a rare opportunity, I wanted to witness everything after Albion's awakening. That's the reason for my actions~!"

Merlin blinked as she spoke.

Her casual, lighthearted tone made it hard to discern the truth.

[She was like a mirage, ever-shifting]

[If it were anyone else, they might easily believe her. Her every movement was filled with a dreamlike quality]

[You didn't doubt her words]

[It truly seemed like something Merlin would do]

"Well, if you want to repay me... Moran, then let me be a loyal audience member in your story."

[Merlin sincerely expressed her thoughts]

[As a reason for offering help, it was quite reasonable. You truly had no need to doubt her further]

[A woman as dreamlike as a flower]

[This was your first impression of Merlin]

"Merlin, I understand your thoughts."

"Good, I'm glad you understand... in a way, Moran, you can think of me as an enthusiastic fan~!"

"Having a fan like you makes me uneasy."

Moran couldn't help but retort.

He remembered that in the original timeline, Merlin had known and watched over King Arthur's final fate.

And she felt no guilt about it.

Although Merlin wasn't the mastermind behind it.

Being noticed by her was probably not a good thing.

"Eh!? That's so hurtful! I'm the Flower Magus who brings joy to people. I wish for everyone to have their perfect ending!"

"How many of the stories you've watched ended well?"

"Uh... well... ahem... I'll see it eventually! At least, that's what I believe!"

Merlin's cheeks turned red as she spoke.

Moran couldn't help but twitch his lips.

He couldn't shake the feeling that being held in such high regard by this Flower Magus gave him a sense of foreboding.

It was like being watched by a harbinger of doom.

Probably, he was just overthinking it.

"Let's not talk about me for now. What's important is, Moran, what do you plan to do next? In this age where humans have taken the reins, mystery is fading day by day. If you want to leave the island of Britain, I won't stop you, but doing so wouldn't be a good choice for you."

Merlin's light red eyes gazed at Moran.

In them, the outline of the Boundary Dragon seemed to be reflected.

This, she didn't need to remind him.

Moran had already felt the fading of mystery as he climbed toward the surface. Even in Britain, it was like this.

If he were to leave this last land of the Age of Gods, his energy consumption would likely be unsustainable.

Humans had ascended to the seat of the Prime Species, and the planet was evolving in a direction suited to humanity.

Whether it was dragons or fairies, they were all considered violations of humanity's rules. They would be rejected by the world.

Even the gods could not escape this rule.

"So, if you want to act in Britain, I can put in a word with Uther. That way, you'll have the least amount of inconvenience moving around this land."

"Merlin, you're trying to pull me into this, aren't you?"

Moran stared at Merlin expressionlessly.

He knew Merlin wouldn't do anything without a purpose.

Currently, King Uther was still on the throne.

Merlin likely wanted him to immerse himself in Britain and participate in the legendary tale of King Arthur that would unfold in the future.

"Ahahaha, how could that be? No way~!"

Merlin answered with a wandering gaze.

Her guilty expression already said it all.

After all, she truly found it fascinating.

The idea of Albion reappearing in Britain, and the unexpected stories that could arise from it—how could she not want to see it?

[However, one thing she said was correct]

[You indeed had no intention of leaving Britain]

[Because leaving this last land of the Age of Gods would make it impossible for you to act in the world for long]

[Since Merlin had already proposed this idea]

[It was better to go with the flow]

"Fine, let's do as you say. But I'll go with you to meet Uther. After all, I am Albion."

Moran said this, but in reality, he was still wary of Merlin causing trouble.

Although he didn't think Merlin had any ill intentions toward him, if he let her represent him in communicating with Uther—

She might saddle him with a bunch of troubles.

Moran had this intuition.

"No problem, it's settled then. Honestly, I was really worried you'd refuse, Moran. With your involvement, Uther will surely welcome you with open arms. I can't resist an interesting story—it's just my nature~"

"Your nature isn't exactly honorable."

"Hehe, some have said that before. But I'm not human, and I'm well aware of that."

Merlin smiled gently as she spoke.

She had a very clear understanding of herself.

The dreamlike beauty that could make others lose their sense of reality, and the cold detachment from the world's rules.

These were Merlin's defining traits.

In the future, they likely wouldn't change much.

"But as a fellow non-human... Moran, I'll watch over your journey from a close distance. It's not just about my anticipation for the story—if you need help, feel free to ask. Consider this my special~care~ for you!"

Merlin moved closer and hugged Moran's arm.

She then revealed a sweet and enchanting smile.

The emotion in her voice was genuine.

"You? As long as you don't cause me trouble, that's enough."

Although Moran couldn't discern her true intentions, he still showed a helpless smile.

Being entangled by such a mischievous woman.

Any man would find it a headache.

However, no matter what, Merlin had helped him, and that fact couldn't be denied.

"By the way, Moran, you're so harsh with me.

Could it be that I got the initial approach wrong?

I've heard some men don't like women older than them. Could it be that you prefer younger women? My mistake, my mistake..."

Merlin even pondered this question seriously.

Most men couldn't resist her smile.

But Moran was unlike anyone she'd met before.

It was as if he had seen through her essence from the start, leaving the beautiful Flower Magus repeatedly defeated.

"How about we switch it up! Imagine a delicate, pitiful little sister Merlin, how about that?

In dreams, a dream demon can do anything~ I think this is a great idea! A Flower Magus and a cute little sister... please take care of me from now on, Onii-chan~!"

Merlin spoke with a cheerful smile.

Her joyful expression was like a blooming, enchanting flower, so beautiful it could captivate souls.

Paired with the intimate hug she was giving now.

No man could resist.

Moran couldn't help but think to himself: "She's not a dream demon—she's a succubus!"
