Zongman: Dream with me

"I am back."

Putting the cake on the coffee table in the living room, Mu You walked to Qiong's door and knocked gently. After receiving a response of "Stupid You", he returned to the kitchen. It was his turn to cook today.

Having lived in this country for more than ten years, Mu You only recovered some of his memories in recent years. His taste has become very diverse, so he is willing to try a variety of dishes, such as this sweet and spicy Mapo Tofu, which is more in line with Qiong's taste.

After serving the meal, he called out Qiong, who had been staying in the bedroom, and the two of them ate in silence, occasionally eating the green peppers she had deliberately picked for him. Kasugano Qiong finished her meal silently, then cleared away their dishes. At Mu You's insistence, they agreed to a rule where one person would cook and the other would wash the dishes.

This rule made Kasugano Yui very unhappy. When her parents were around, she didn't have to do anything, and You always sided with her. But now, You was bullying her. Kasugano Yui shook her head, putting the nagging thoughts aside. She glanced at Mu You, who had already turned on the TV, and her hands moved even faster.

Mu You was half a otaku in his previous life, but he was led astray. However, since he traveled through time, he has become more and more interested in anime. Moreover, the works in this world are very diverse. Some he is familiar with, while some are very unfamiliar. He is very enthusiastic about both.

Glancing at Qiong who was enjoying her dessert, Mu You seemed to have thought of something and asked cautiously, "Qiong, what do you think of the club?"

"...Hmm?" Kasugano Sora bit her fork, seemingly pondering a difficult question. "There are too many people."

"It's okay. There are familiar people and new faces. I still hope you can meet new friends."

"But it can be inconvenient sometimes." Qiong said, and a white light flashed from his fingertips. An ice cube fell into the cup of Coke and was handed over. This was the ability of the ice mage.

Mu You took it and took a sip. "No need to worry about it. Just carry on as usual. It's okay even if it's exposed."

"Didn't you say it's best to keep it a secret from others?"

"I'm mainly talking about the secrets of monsters. After all, when people realize they really exist, the probability of encountering supernatural events will increase. And I hope you keep it secret so that you can make more friends, rather than throwing the baby out with the bathwater."

Mu You said this, and then thought of Yukinoshita Haruno, whom he had teased tonight. She should be an exception. Although he introduced her to the sect, as long as she doesn't do anything stupid, he should still be able to protect her, right?

"What's going on between you and that Yukinoshita?"

"Which one? Are you talking about Yukino?" Mu You was confused by Qiong's sudden question. Seeing her face beginning to show unhappiness, he pinched her unhappily.

"How would I know what's going on between her and me? Why don't you tell me about it?"

"Really?"

"Well, after all, I don't remember it either."

"What a scumbag's statement."

"Then I'm responsible?"

"No!" Qiong retorted hastily. "If you want to be responsible, you should be responsible for me. Where did this girl, Yukinoshita, come from? She acts like a high-and-mighty flower. Why don't you come to the human world and disturb our lives?"

"You haven't done anything wrong to her. If it weren't for you, she wouldn't even have a friend. Why should you be responsible?"

"Have you known each other before?"

Qiong was silent, stood up, kicked me, and went back to her room.

Seeing Qiong's reaction, Mu You had some guesses. Why did they act like strangers when they met? Was it because of their personalities? However, Mu You didn't think too much about it. Compared to the pure and aloof Xue No, her sister was more interesting.

At least when I bully others, I don't feel too much guilt.

It was a dream. Yang Nai looked at the sea of ​​clouds below and the sun slowly rising among the distant mountains. While admiring the magnificent scenery before him, he silently confirmed his thoughts in his heart.

But where is this?

She found herself on a platform suspended high in the air. There was a wooden pavilion specially built on the platform, and its style was different from the ones she usually saw.

After feeling the beautiful scenery from high altitude and the gentle breeze blowing towards her for a while, Yukinoshita Haruno slowly walked towards the edge of the platform... Thousands of meters high, she seemed to be standing above the clouds, and could vaguely see the outline of the mountain.

My heartbeat began to accelerate inexplicably, and I felt an inexplicable urge deep in my heart.

"Do you want to give it a try?"

“Who! Ah——”

Before she could even turn around, she felt someone kick her butt. Then the scenery in front of her eyes began to change dramatically. Yang No couldn't help but scream and jumped out of the bed. She woke up halfway down.

The room was silent. Yukinoshita Haruno listened quietly to her own heartbeat. It took her a long time to recover.

"Is this a dream?"

After lying down again, Yukinoshita thought about the dream and the voice just now, and soon fell asleep again.

Opening her eyes, she realized she was back on the platform. She immediately began to look around cautiously, circling the pavilion several times, but found nothing. Summoning her courage, she shouted into the air in front of her:

"Who is there? Come out!"

There was no response. Just as I was about to let go of my worry, a teasing voice rang out from behind me: "You dare to come back?"

Then a gust of wind blew, and she was thrown out again. Another round of long-lasting screams, the screams reached the distant mountains, and waves of echoes began to resound. This time, Yang Nai held out longer. Last time, she couldn't even see the ground clearly. This time, she was awakened by the shock when she fell halfway up the mountain.

Once when she woke up, Yang Noi covered her heart with her hands. Doing such exciting things twice in a row made her face flushed and sweaty, but her eyes were shining with excitement.

"It is indeed a dream!"

After trying hard to calm herself down, Yukinoshita Haruno fell into her dream again with joy. Looking at the familiar scene in front of her, she said nothing, but just jumped forward, face up, and then couldn't help but start screaming.

As the eldest daughter of the Yukinoshita family, she shoulders the heavy responsibility of the family. Every word and action is watched by countless eyes. Her family would not allow her to engage in any dangerous activities without time. That's why this experience is so rare. It's just a dream anyway, so why not take advantage of it and let it go?

The feeling of loss of control when falling from a high altitude, the adrenaline rush brought by the whistling wind in her ears, and the crazy changes in the surrounding scenery all stimulated her nerves that seemed to have been numb for a long time.

Suddenly, just as she felt she was about to fall to the ground and wake up, a force seemed to lift her up and throw her into the sky again. Suddenly, she felt blessed as a pair of blue wings spread out behind her. The wind around her seemed to become gentle all of a sudden, carrying her soaring among the mountains.

Through the information that emerged in her mind, she learned the name of this area - Qingyun Peak, and the wings on her back, called the Wings of the Blue Sky and Clear Wind. In the distance, watching Yang Nai yelling and shouting, Mu You couldn't help but sigh that this young lady's ability to learn was really strong. She had already learned to move on her own after the third time, making herself seem a little petty.

So, let her experience a life crisis next time.

Well, it would be even more interesting if you asked her "Do you want to know the meaning of life?" before going to bed.

The ability to walk in dreams allows him to drag any intelligent creature into dreams, no matter if it is human or demon, and in this world, he is the only master; and the ability of the glass ball helps him collect energy in dreams and gives him a certain ability to project reality, allowing him to protect himself in this strange world, and even allows him to do whatever he wants, no matter in dreams or reality.

Unfortunately, dreams are just dreams after all.
