4. The Lonesome Nightmare

After obtaining the third stamp, we went from being surrounded by glowing mushrooms in the maze of darkness to being on top of the viewing platform. Cyril was sitting in the middle of the platform with his legs dangling off the side.

“You finished the third maze. Congratulations,” he said listlessly before letting out a sigh.

“What’s wrong?” I asked.

Cyril averted his eyes and shook his head. “Nothing. Next up is the last one... Have fun!”

After saying that, he vanished.

“He seemed distracted,” murmured Lord Glen as he stared at the spot the Nightmare had disappeared from.

“Maybe he has something else going on right now?”

“Let’s ask him about it once we clear the last maze~!”

“Yes, let’s,” I said, nodding firmly to Miss Micah.

We then went down the long slide to the hall beneath and gathered in front of the northern door to the final maze. Together we pushed open the door with a picture of ice on it and were met with cold air.

“I-It’s so cold~!”

Miss Micah shivered and hugged her tail tight. I didn’t think it was very cold, but when I looked at Lord Glen, he was enduring the temperature change by gritting his teeth.

“Let’s get through this maze as fast as possible,” Lord Glen grumbled.

“Agreed~!” Miss Micah replied, nodding multiple times.

As the three of us walked into the maze of ice, we realized how transparent the walls truly were.

“You can clearly see the path on the other side.”

The foxwoman poked the wall of ice beside her with a finger. “It really is freezing~!”

I was curious about how cold it must be, so I mimicked her. The wall didn’t feel that cold to me, so I put my whole palm on the ice.

“I...guess it’s cold?”

The sensation was strange. It felt as if my hand was getting colder, but not, at the same time. I wonder why that is, I thought as I tilted my head.

Lord Glen rushed to grab my wrist and pulled me away from the wall. When I looked at my hand, I saw that my palm was bright red.

“Chelsea, you have a hard time noticing your own pain or suffering, so you shouldn’t touch the ice too much. You don’t notice yourself getting too cold, after all...”

Seeing his sad face made me finally realize my hand was so cold that it hurt.

“I’m sorry for worrying you. You’re always so kind...”

Not only did I say my thanks, but I also vocalized what I was thinking.

Lord Glen seemed to be attempting to hide his bashfulness, and he hastily imagined winter clothing like hats, scarves, gloves, and coats into existence.

“Here. Put these on and warm up. I made some for you too, Micah.”

“Thanks~!”

I took the winter clothes from him and struggled to put them on. It was harder than I thought it would be to maneuver as a child, but I eventually got myself dressed up.

I glanced at the wall of ice and noticed that the place my hand had been was still visible.

“My handprint is still there...”

“The spot you touch must have melted,” Lord Glen commented.
