My Realm, My Home (Tamao's Perspective)

-I will surely find you one day, sister.

The words from Tamao's mouth could never go unenforced. She'll prove everything with her own actions. Just like the last time, even Death couldn't stop her from returning to Yashi. They are bound and never going to be separate. But for a bigger shake, a plan that's important enough for Tamao to care about as much as Yashi's location, "She," the utopian, came here first to lead all of them into a new, perfect world. Does this new universe seem like a good choice? Tamao would like to stay and figure it out, and why would she have to worry while rushers will never get their wish fulfilled? She gets lost in thoughts while drinking water in a staff-only hotel room. Her legs are bleeding badly. Some bones were broken, but Tamao still hangs the chilling face and talks freely to other four-legged people here. It seems like all of them know how threatening she is, based on how this fragile human chose to greet those with high magic here. What a reckless move, but the horses like interesting playthings.

The Realm of Dreams and Nightmares is the place where the species called Equos rule. They seem to underestimate two-legged humans and keep looking down on them. Tamao can soon see herself dancing on fire by coming to this realm with those horses, but she is willingly stepping into it. Back when she was inside the reflection, she saw her sister follow the path that led to Velarune, wanting to live in a realm that looked like a fantasy. What a weak person, but that woman has her karma already. Velarune sure is a dream of vivid colors for the hooved who put their heads up high and own godly-rated magical powers, not for humans. What a beautiful cage.

Tamao ran behind Yashi inside the colorful, non-stop-moving mansion, shouting her name. But it was too late. They got separated, at least still in the same vast realm. At first, she laughed her head off for being in this silly joke and wasting their precious time. But now, she herself is also a dummy for running into it! There's no way back now, so let's enjoy everything while we can, shall we? After a few days of wandering, she woke up on a grass field with a dream-like path downhill that led to other villages far away. In the sky, there are magic-created clouds that switch color gradually, with a soft consistency that represents cotton candy. When she came down the road, there were beautiful wild flowers growing on the side. Their color perfectly gradients from the shape of purple into light blue. She paid attention to such small things and felt suddenly relaxed. Panicking is not something she should do, but this gave her some questioning: is this place really the same realm as the one she got teleported into at first? They are completely opposite; maybe still one realm; two-sided isn't something rare nowadays. Tamao didn't let herself be fooled by how dreamy this place looks, because it may be as bad as the previous place she wandered through. Even though the hooved don't prey and try to kill her in here, she planned every worst situation inside her head when approaching a centaur pair nearby who were enjoying the view.

-Hello? Can anyone tell me where is the main city?

She asked, but the female Equos gave back a scornful look. Tamao does know what that means, but she dared to ask once again. With a softer voice and some magic implemented, Tamao can make sure that they understand what she is talking about, but they don't even bother to answer. They gave each other a look of confusion, and then suddenly, the male one gave her a painful kick. They look at her, then quickly turn away.

-Who does she think she is?

-Hello, I am Tamao! And I deny the laws of every realm!

She shouted in joy, hands placed on her wounded leg. Her eyes were looking up at them, opening wide. The Aquaeus Narui swims slowly behind her; its gentle water drops touch her outstretched arm. How rude, but treating people the way they treat you is a totally fine thing, right?

The battle occurred in the grass field, but it was owned by a hotel nearby. Those rumbling sounds and magic affection alerted the hotel guards. They rushed to the field and stopped their fight. Those Equos were giving "feedback" to a weird human surrounded by water who was extremely hostile. They speak of it negatively and arrogantly, while Tamao just sits behind the guards, watching them with curiosity. So that's how the people here greet new guests? What a realm. After the pair left, these four-legged guards brought her inside the hotel to heal her wounds. They have a plan to sell this girl to the riches who were staying here, for torturing humans was a popular hobby among them. But Tamao is not that easy to fool, and there is much more behind her smiley face.

Back to the present, when she finished causing chaos as an overture for the opera of this Velarune adventure. The water bottle has been emptied; the girl threw it to the ground. After bandaging her broken leg and giving her some medical treatment, they received a magic signal, sounds like someone is calling. For some minutes, the guards are gone; they're off to say hello to someone. Their voices echo through the hallway outside the room. She took something out of her layered clothes—one thing that's very useful in the previous zone she wandered in. She brought lots of them and hid them in clothes; those are the grenades. Tamao wants to leave some more interesting first impressions, like the graceful bow of a cute Japanese girl in your first meeting. She climbs out of the window, where her Narui, a creature capable of flying, is waiting. As she waits for their footsteps to come closer at the last second, she pulls the grenade's lock and throws it inside the room before telling her companion to run with full speed ahead. What a dream-like but shitty realm! A good-looking girl with a nasty personality is the type of person she hates the most! Even though she knows there are always good people around, Tamao vowed to herself to mess up every place that unfortunately has no good-hearted civilians. But first, she needs to gain more power and find Yashi. Magic will be much better if performed together, right?
