'Huh?' Alex blinked.
From what he remembered, he had gone back to the clock tower and had been surprised by Lulu, only to find out Latifa had successfully raised her rank to Rank 4. Then, he had lost consciousness.
Now, although he regained his consciousness, he might not be awake.
Noelle, his Guild Master, was currently seated on his lap. Her head leaned against his shoulder, and her arms were tightly wrapped around his waist.
In the background, waves crashed against the shore, reminding him of that one time she had taken him on her personal yacht. The two of them had been alone. Frankly speaking, it was one of the most precious memories of his life back on earth.
It had been a while since he last dreamed of her, so Alex didn't hesitate and reciprocated the young lady's hug. Although he knew this was a dream, her scent, softness, and warmth all felt so real.
