章節 880: Cause and Effect

Sunny looked at him with surprise.

"Forgive me, Professor, but isn't that common knowledge? The Spell came first, bringing with it the Nightmares. Then, we Awakened appeared as the result."

He frowned slightly.

"...Of course, common knowledge is not always trustworthy. But in this case, it seems to follow logic."

Professor Obel shook his head.
