Moku couldn't help but take a deep breath.
People like Luna are also sometimes too quick to conclude. Not that their conclusions are wrong, but sometimes the other person needs a very long and detailed explanation to be able to accept the conclusion.
Just like when their best friend confides about his girlfriend who is always indifferent and likes to manage. With his fast thinking speed, they would quickly conclude that breaking up was the way to go.
Though there are observations and long thoughts from these conclusions.
So those who have a fast thought process like Luna will find it difficult to be a good listener or a good advisor.
Moku is reminded of Bulan who has no friends because she is seen as someone who doesn't understand her friend's feelings. Even though Bulan thought about almost all options to find the best conclusion that could make her friend live happier.
To be able to balance her friend who has a slow thought process, Bulan has to deal with repeated conversations in the same context, even though she still tries to listen and understand them.
Bulan is still a human who needs other humans to fulfill her needs as a social being. However, her slow-minded friend made her annoyed and bored.
In the end, Bulan went from being a good listener to being an indifferent listener. She was too bored and tormented by repeated conversations whose conclusions were obvious before her eyes.
One by one her friends went and left her.
Bulan never understood why humans couldn't accept the simple facts that they were aware of from the start.
Even though it's a painful reality isn't it a fact?
Why do they still hope in justifications and illusions that will never come true?
Bulan never understood that and she became a loner.
Until an incident makes her change and become someone who focuses her life on searching for a world. A place that is impossible for the living to find.
Bulan is trying to find the unseen world.
Moku once again took a deep breath, he was repeatedly trapped in his memories of Bulan due to Luna's resemblance with her.
Moku looked at Luna who was still confused and said "Luna, I can't make you a queen or my wife. But what if I take you as my sister?"
"eh? me? your sister?" Luna looked at Moku with wide eyes. So did everyone else.
They never thought that Moku would ask an alraune to be his sister.
Moku just smiled and waited for Luna's answer.
Memories are a strange thing. Our brains sometimes work in confusing ways.
Sometimes reality can feel like a dream and dreams can feel like reality.
People say slap yourself to prove if you are dreaming or not. If it hurts then it's reality, if not then it's a dream.
But did you know that you can feel pain in dreams and in reality? Especially if the dream enters your hidden memories.
Memories that you can't forget so that it takes up a separate space in your memory. It became like cancer that did not spread and could not be removed.
Will only react when you are present in a reality that is the same as those memories. Make reality like a dream from your memories.
It traps you to feel the nostalgia that once permeated your heart to trick your brain into reality and dreams.
It's like a cheesy movie that has a repeating scene and repeated dialogue. Moku's inner eye brought him back to those memories.
Moku returned to his human body, a little boy whose body was covered in wounds. His eyes seemed to be burning with fire shrouded in darkness.
In front of him, Luna's body turned into a little girl with straight black hair that was tied back in a ponytail. There was still some freshly dried snot in her nostrils.
Two brats meet again due to an inner eye that affects reality and makes it a dream that comes from a memory that can't be lost.
"Okay.. I agree.. But I Must be Big sister!" Bulan patted her flat chest hard.
Her puff chest showed her desire to be the eldest among them.
"Eh.. No.. Impossible.. I'm Big Brother!" Moku doesn't want to lose.
Moku doesn't want to be a little brother, because he doesn't want to be ordered around by someone weaker than him.
"What?! I'm older than you! I'm already 10 years old! How old are you anyway?" Bulan snorted.
"Eh.. ah.. I'm only eight years old" Moku stuttered, he had never talked to girls before, let alone a girl who demanded loudly like Bulan.
"You are two years younger than me. Listen to me '$^&$&', I had experienced two years more than you!" Bulan explained her point as if the conversation was over.
"Hah!! Even if you live longer it doesn't mean you are stronger than me! I don't want to be the little brother of someone weaker than me!" Moku does not accept.
"What do you mean weaker? Strength doesn't count from fighting ability alone! During these two years, I've had more experience and more knowledge than you! Experience and knowledge are also power!" Bulan pointed her finger disapprovingly.
"Hah! Your words don't make sense Bulan!" Moku is angry.
"Bulan?" Luna tilted her head.
"Huh?? That's your name— ah!" Moku woke up.
Suddenly the image of a little boy whose body was covered with wounds and a little girl with straight black hair that was tied back in a ponytail broke into flying pieces. Back into Moku's memory to wait for time to once again appear in reality. A memory that never goes away.
Moku returns to being an orc and Bulan returns to being an alraune named Luna.
Moku looked at the confused Luna, Ornell and his friends also had the same expression. Nezena and Nerphyl were surprised to see Moku who seemed to have turned back into a child.
Moku realized that it was just a memory that coincided with reality.
"huhuhuhuhahahahahaHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Moku's laughter boomed through the room, so loose and free.
Everyone was confused why Moku suddenly laughed. Cold sweat dripped down Swa and Laya's back, they thought if Moku's madness had returned.
'sis.. it seems that your wish to make me your little brother again in the next world has come true' whispered Moku in his heart.
"hahaha.. hah..ha.. I'm sorry about this.. It's okay if you want to become my big sister, but you can't interfere with my power as the sole leader. Are you willing?" Moku asked.
"Hmm.. well.. I don't really want to be a leader either.. it will only take my research time" Luna said.
"I knew that.." Moku never thought that Alraune would join them this easily. All the strategies, theories, and everything he had prepared were wasted. Well.. he also never thought that he would meet Bulan's reincarnation here.
"Then what do we get and what should we do when we join you?" Ornell, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help but ask these two very important things.
Ornell had to risk Moku's wrath because she had interfered in the two leaders' talks. She had to do this because of their leader who didn't care about anything other than her research. But Moku wasn't angry, he knew exactly what Luna's nature was like.
"I want you to help us find medicinal plants or other herbs that can help other monster races to evolve.. what do you want? Do you also want me to help you find out how alraune evolves?" Moku asked.
"We want—"
"I want your samples of blood"
Before Ornell could answer, Luna cut her off and said passionately.
"Luna!! Alraune must also evolve to become stronger!" Ornell objected.
With an annoyed face, Luna replied "Huh? Why do we also need to evolve? Our bodies are already perfect and there is nothing that needs to be changed.
Orcs wanted to evolve because of their ugly faces.
Sylphs want to evolve because of their small bodies.
Whereas goblins wanted to evolve because of their ugly faces and small bodies.
After all, since when did Alraune think about strength, we are a race full of beauty and grace, not like a rude and brutal race like orcs."
Orcs, Sylphs, and Goblins took offense at the same time, especially Tam who was said to be ugly and short.
"Well.." Ornell couldn't say anything because what Luna said was true.
Unlike other monster races, alraune does not hunt for food. They only attract prey with their allure and hypnosis. Physical strength for alraune is not very important. For them, elegance, sexiness, and body fragrance are the most important things. So that their current body is the most perfect form for alraune.
Seeing that there was no more arguing between Luna and Ornell, Moku stepped forward and stretched out his hand.
Luna took Moku's hand and shook it.
The monsters that Luna experimented with were the ones who really had bad luck. Moku is even willing to sacrifice one orc for the alraune's loyalty.
"Welcome, sis!" Moku said with a smile.
Luna just nodded back and wanted to withdraw her hand but Moku grabbed Luna's hand and said "Sis!"
"Yeah?" Luna tilted her head. In a very low voice, Moku whispered,
"Humans have the sense to feel the unseen world but that sense falls asleep because the other five senses in the body become too dominant.
These five senses show the brain what is real and what is not. So that when the sleeping senses feel the presence of supernatural beings around the body, the brain will translate this as something that is not real.
Humans will end up thinking that it's just an illusion, a misperception, just a feeling, or some other optical trick.
Though that creatures are real and the realm is real. They are with us but we forget them. They see us, they watch us, they laugh at our stupidity. Human life becomes an interesting spectacle for them.
They are the forgotten.
That's why we have to reawaken our senses. By paralyzing the five senses and forcing the brain to only receive signals from that senses.
That sense is the Inner Eye"
Suddenly Luna's eyes widened and looked at Moku with a confused face.
Moku just smiled and let go of their handshake.
