Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka? (LN) - Volume 13 - Chapter 8.5

Interlude ???

I don’t know where I am.

A vast, empty space.

And a woman is here with me.

Her body is disappearing, like it’s melting into the space, leaving only part of her upper body behind.

It’s heartrending to witness.

Then mechanical words spill from her mouth.

<Proficiency has reached the required level.>

<Experience has reached the required level.>

<Proficiency has reached the required level.>

………

<It hurts.>

My eyes flash open, and I jerk upright.

…So it was just a dream?
