Zongman: Dream with me

"Are you the painter Chalk?!"

"Are you a light novel writer....Yurakusai?"

As soon as they arrived at the light music club, Miyazono Kaoru asked in a tone that sounded like someone from the upper class. Arima Kousei's tone was much weaker in comparison. "But, what are you doing? A trial?"

Mu You glanced at Chief Justice Yukinoshita, who looked fair and selfless, and said that he had never seen such a scene before.

"It's me, what's wrong?"

"Okay, You, tell us the truth, how many of your identities are you hiding from us?"

"Alright, alright, stop it. You know the rest too. I'll tell you when the time comes."

"Tsk, so mysterious."

Miyazono Xun didn't ask any further questions. She knew that Mu You must have his own reasons for doing this, so she happily talked to everyone about the vest he had dropped.

Yurakusai is a bestselling light novelist, author of "This Hero is Strong but Overly Cautious," "After Quitting the Team, Teammates Regret It," "The Misfit of Demon King Academy," and "No Game No Life: Zero."

Chalk: Illustrator and cartoonist, author of "Witch's Journey" and "Spice and Wolf", but updates very slowly. He usually prefers to draw illustrations and various emoticons. It is said that the portrait of Lord Barbatos was drawn by him.

Question: "Why do you want to hide your identity?"

Answer: "To get along with mortals, and to do these things for my own amusement."

Question: ""

answer:""

Question: "Your works all seem to be based on themes of other worlds. Could you please tell me why you are fond of this type of subject matter?"

Answer: "Nothing, because those people are in another world, so it's safer to write about them."

Question: "Safe?"

Answer: "Well, because they can't cross the world to come and settle accounts with me."

Yukinoshita: "So you think everything you write is true?"

Answer: "Why not?"

Seeing Yukinoshita hesitate to speak, Miyazono Kaoru encouraged her, "It's okay, just ask whatever you want to say."

"In elementary school, my indoor shoes were always hidden, but this guy told me it was harassment. The girls in my class didn't like me, but you said it was because I was special. You took me away from the childish class... Unfortunately, I still haven't received my owl."

“But magic does exist.”

Yukinoshita still shook her head and pointed out calmly: "If I remember correctly, in the story you told, Bai Ke was indeed an artist, and Yourakusai was a monster. You are still indulging in your own fantasy.

Kasugano-san, your condition is more serious than I expected."

The others looked at the two people who held different opinions and didn't know how to persuade them for a moment. Miyazono Kaoru was even more confused. It was just a simple interview, how could it turn out like this?

I nudged Kousei and found that he also had a conflicted look on his face. Kousei looked at the others who also had different thoughts and thought it would be better not to dwell on this topic. He was about to smooth things over... but the next moment, his eyes widened in shock.

Mu You took out a transparent glass ball ornament and said lightly:

"How about we do a test?"

"etc......."

Kousei immediately stopped him. It wasn't that he disagreed, but wasn't this a bit hasty? It looked like this guy was just being vindictive. If he was just turned on like that, how would he explain it?

Qiong also realized this. She quickly took away the unlit Eye of God and sternly warned Mu You:

"You, no!"

"It's just a test, it's okay, I still have several of these left."

"That's not OK!"

The Eye of God was created and improved by Mu You. It can inspire human potential and give ordinary people the authority to control the elements. In a world without the pressure of Sky Island, every holder of the Eye of God truly has the qualifications to become a god!

Can this be tested?

What if it really activates? Can you still ignore it? Giving away holy relics was fine before, but now they are giving away this too?

"what is this?"

"A magical little thing."

Yukinoshita also noticed the nervousness of Kasugano Sora and the others, but she didn't delve into it and continued to correct Mu You's delusion.

Unfortunately, Mu You, who was being stared at by Qiong, had no tone to refute. The cold aura emanating from her body made her look as if she was ready to kill herself with ice to prove the existence of magic.

"Kasugano-san, I know you're a light novel writer and painter. Having a rich imagination is a good thing, but I still hope you can distinguish between fantasy and reality."

"I couldn't tell the difference at first."

Mu You chuckled to himself. Coming into this world, there was no trace of his past in his memory. Was "Mu You" really dead? Why did he have no memory of his death? He clearly remembered everything about his past life, but why did he forget everything when it came to specific people?

Why do I feel separated from this world, but not in dreams?

Mu You will not be able to find peace in his heart unless he figures out these things.

Mu You didn't really care about Yukinoshita's preaching, but Qiong was not happy. She retorted, "Weren't you also very happy to hear it at first?"

Yukinoshita choked, and then said something like "reality is not fantasy after all" and "I just don't want him to continue like this" which Mu You didn't want to understand.

"You are a member of my club. I will never give up correcting you no matter what."

"Thank you, Yukino is indeed a good person."

"......"

Although it was a compliment and Mu You was indeed sincere, Yukinoshita did not seem happy.

"By the way, Mu You, can you let me see your work? You hid it so well, I've never seen it before!"

"Can't you find it online?"

"How dare you say that? I don't recognize any of the characters you drew. You must have a design collection. I want to see that!"

"this......."

Mu You was still a little hesitant when he suddenly felt a hand pulling at the corner of his clothes. He turned his head and met Mabai's hopeful eyes.

"Yuu...I want to see it."

"...I'm sorry, Mashiro."

Mu You's words were plain, but there was no doubt about them, so Mashiro turned her pitiful gaze to Qiong who had been playing with her mobile phone.

"......"

After a long time, Qiong finally couldn't bear it anymore and looked at Mu You. Mu You spread his hands and said, "You make the decision yourself."

After getting the answer, Qiong stood up, walked to her schoolbag, and took out the book "Endless Solo Dance" that she was reading recently. When she was very young, she was in poor health and could only lie in bed for a long time, looking at the sky alone.

At that time, what she looked forward to most was You's visit after school, because he would always tell her stories that he had thought about or dreamed about a few days ago. He always spoke enthusiastically and she listened silently.

Later, he taught himself to paint, saying that he wanted to draw the images of those characters. Later, he took out an Eye of God from the story.

The story doesn't seem to be just a story.

But Qiong is not the one. Mu You once said that he wanted more people to listen to his stories and that their stories should be passed on. But later he no longer cared about this matter. When exactly was that?

Kasugano Sora didn't know, but that should have been after the car accident.

But since You can't do it anymore, let her help.

"What? You agreed after all. Yu is such a tsundere." Miyazono Kaoru pouted, then moved closer to Mashiro with the others.

While everyone else was looking at picture albums, Mu You also took out his computer and started reading Mashiro's comics. The pictures were very clever, but the plot logic had flaws: why did the male protagonist meet the male protagonist in the previous chapter, and the two of them were together in the next chapter? Did you draw fewer than a few hundred pictures? Xiao Si and Xingkong have to wait two years before they get married!

Mashiro is undoubtedly a talented artist, but when it comes to manga, besides the quality of the artwork, the plot is even more important. It's not just a picture book; is it enough to just be compelling? Only a moving story can bring the characters originally on paper to life.

This was a bit too difficult for a girl who wasn't even skilled at tying her shoelaces. Mu You knew how to do it, but he wasn't sure whether he should do it himself.

Just like his works are all about otherworldly themes, because in this world where everyday life and fantasy intersect, he really can't be sure whether those people exist or not. What if there is a car accident...

After all, stories are not just about false things, they can also refer to things that are past.

Mu You has always been cautious about the fate of others. Sometimes kindness does not bring a good result, but more often it only leads to a mess. This is reality, even if it really seems like a dream, he must take it seriously.

At this time, fate brought a girl named Shiina Mashiro to him. How should he face it?
