Mushroom's Travels/Elf Wonderland Story
| Story 1: Prologue | |
|---|---|
After spending a considerable time in Another World,
you've adapted to life here, yet memories from the past resurface from time to time. Especially in the quiet of night within dreams...
We're about to crash! Darling, hold on tight! I'm
really scared—Ahhh—! The train is off the tracks! A train carrying you and Lilith zooms from the
highest point of the track, derailing due to its excessive speed. But in this dream realm, all is safe. The off-track train
simply floats mid-air. Ahahaha! What a blast! My first time having such a
thrilling dream! It's been a while for me too... in the Wonderland.
So this is called an Wonderland, huh? I never
imagined such a place existed... What was the name of the train we just rode? "Roller
coaster"? Such a cool name! The rush from descending heights is exhilarating
enough, and the weightlessness from derailing adds to the excitement... Haha, this kind of thrill is hard to experience in
reality! Aha! How fortunate that my darling can revel in such
an exciting place! It's a shame this world lacks a Wonderland. We can
only indulge in dreams... There are so many fun attractions there, darling, will
you continue playing with me? I think I heard the sound of an alarm clock...
Alright! I could stay in this dream all day!
Ah, but darling, I haven't had my fill yet...
Wait... Is that the sound of an alarm clock? Geez... It
seems tonight's journey must end here... Okay, okay. I'll see you tomorrow night, darling. Don't
stay up too late. I'll miss you! As the jarring alarm clock jolts, the dream scenes
start to fade, and you must leave. I really wish to keep playing with my darling at the
amusement park, but I'm unsure when such scenes will revisit my dreams... A wonderland... If only such a place existed in reality...
Haha

After that night, dreams like that never occur again.
Just when the memory of the amusement park begins
to fade, a leaflet appears in your mailbox... "Elven Forest Wonderland is about to open"?!
So it has already been constructed. It's really swift. I
heard from a friend back in my hometown that the Elders came up with this idea to lure in tourists. It's touted as a "thrilling" Wonderland promising
boundless excitement. Such a thing has never existed before, and everyone's eagerly anticipating it. Haha... Player, shall we go and explore it together?
After dealing with the daily grind at work, taking a break sounds nice, doesn't it? Come on, come on, let's go!
You follow Reir into the Elven Forest, and a
magnificent "Wonderland" comes into view. The setup of this Wonderland perfectly matches the image etched into your memory. The Wonderland's gates remain shut, seemingly not
yet open for business, but it's already teeming with curious visitors. Wow! Look at the crowd. Well, Player, I'll take you
through the Elven's exclusive back entrance so we can skip the queue! Oh my, isn't this Reir? It's been a while! I'm delighted
to see the runaway child returning home! At that moment, a graceful elf with a beaming smile
emerges by your side. I never anticipated that Reir, who singe risqué tunes
every day and scares off guests, would "willingly" come to work... W-W-Work? Elder um... actually, I came to...
You must know that the Wonderland needs assistance
, and that's why you're here to help, right? Everyone, let's not waste Reir's good intentions, alright? Take her to get changed into a uniform. Noooo! I don't want to work!
You see Reir being whisked away by a group of elves.
Oh my, look at me, leaving an esteemed guest waiting
here, how impolite... Player. We must be meeting for the first time, right? I am
Raphael Sylph le Fey, the Wind Elf Elder, paying homage to the designer of this Wonderland. All of this is inspired by you. Your "friend" introduced
me to the ingenious concept of a Wonderland, and that's how I brought forth such a marvelous design. Could it be... the dream I had that day?
No wonder it all seems so familiar...
I envy being able to dream such delightful things...
As you can see, the entrance is swarming with people.
Everyone's eager to experience the Wonderland. So, it's almost time. Raphael walks to the heart of the crowd and
announces loudly. Thank you all for your patience! Our Wonderland will
be opening shortly! According to Elven tradition, any significant decision requires the approval of the six Elders. The Elders of the earth, water, fire and light races,
including myself, have approved of the Wonderland's opening. We just need the final approval, and everyone can enter the Wonderland. Now, please join me in witnessing this momentous
occasion. Let's summon the Elder of the Dark Elf for the crucial ribbon-cutting ceremony! Amidst the boisterous cheers of the crowd, a
dark-skinned Elven woman walks impassively, preparing to open the gates of the Wonderland. No chance, Raphael.
Don't assume you can easily trick me. Even if you talk
until you're blue in the face, I'll never give my approval for this operation. She cuts straight through the noisy throng, heading
for a specific target until she halts in front of you. The outsider named Player, don't think your
appearance can deceive the "prophecy"... you dangerous "terrorist"! | |
