Zongman: Dream with me

Mu You and Qiong followed Xueshita to the courtyard.

Looking from here, you can just see the sun lazily setting in the distance, and the afterglow casts a layer of golden light on the girl's long black hair.

Mu You likes this color, which always reminds him of those vague but extremely warm past memories.

"What are you looking at?"

The girl suddenly turned around and found that the other person was staring at her, or to be more precise, at her hair.

"Nothing, tell me, what happened to Pochi-chan?"

Then Mu You saw the records of himself and Goto Ichiri bragging online under their pseudonyms.

"Well, I think I can explain."

Not only Yukino, but even Qiong was staring at him. Mu You explained that he really didn't remember anything about his childhood and it was all just an accident.

"But you knew from the beginning that the guitar hero was Goto Ichiri."

"Yes."

"Kasugano-san, are you insulting our intelligence?"

Yukinoshita Yukino looked at Mu You, her eyes full of confusion and pain.

If you don't remember, how do you know the identity of the guitar hero? If you don't remember, how do you know her so well?

Qiong is your sister, and Goto Ichiri has always been in contact with you, although she doesn't know it yet.

What about me? Three years later, I met you again at Sobu High School. I tried to appear before you, but was always ignored.

It wasn't until a year later that I found out you had lost your memory.

Before you have fully accepted this matter, you meet and recognize your sister again, and you know so much about the relationship between you and your family.

What the hell is this? What's going on between you and your sister?

Also, why did my sister say that? Why did she make such a bet with me?

Everything that has happened recently has been too strange.

You, can I really trust you?

……

"Are you angry about this? About me hiding this from Pochi-chan?"

"..."

"You didn't tell her the truth, right? Otherwise, you would have brought her here to question me."

"……No."

"What?" Mu You looked at Yukinoshita Yukino. It was indeed his fault this time. After all, the person in front of him was Yukinoshita Yukino who was always right.

"I didn't mean to hide it, but you know Pochi-chan's personality. If I rashly tell her about this, it will have a great impact on her.

I'm waiting for an opportunity, a chance for her to successfully perform on stage.

Only then can I be honest and encourage her as Barbatos, and only in this way can the effect be best.

I'm sorry, Yukinoshita, I know this goes against your principles, but I still hope you can help me keep it a secret."

"that's it."

"Well, of course, if you think telling her the truth is the best option, I respect your opinion." Mu You smiled and looked at Xue No.

"As for trust, Yukino, the answer is already in your heart when you ask the question."

"Glib tongue!"

"After all, I'm facing the kindest and most righteous Miss Yukinoshita Yukino."

"He's full of lies and as disgusting as a stink bug."

"So Yukinoshita is planning to go along with me?"

Yukinoshita Yukino looked at Mu You, who had no appetite, and closed her eyes in despair.

She knew she wouldn't tell anyone, and he even knew he wouldn't stand idly by after finding out.

Yes, she was right and just, she knew it, and he knew it too.

So she couldn't refuse him, whether it was helping Qiong to make friends, helping Mashiro learn to observe other people's colors, or helping Goto to muster up courage and confidence.

She could understand his kindness and sincerity, so she would still choose to help Mu You.

But for some reason, a trace of unwillingness and anger emerged in Yukino's heart at this moment, like a snake crawling out from the shadows, constantly entwining her heart, waiting for an opportunity to bite her.

"Then what's going on here?" After Yukinoshita asked her question, Qiong on the other side also raised her own question.

"This."

Yukinoshita looked over and found that Qiong was talking about the time after dinner when Goto Ichiri tremblingly tried to add them as friends, and Qiong and Mashiro both looked at Pochi in surprise.

"what happened?"

"Who gave you this name?"

"Yu-kun?"

After these words were spoken, Kasugano Yuu and Shiina Mashiro scrutinized Goto Ichiri from head to toe. Then, Mashiro spat out two words, "Not like."

This caused Goto to apologize and change his name, but unfortunately he was stopped by Qiong.

"Alicia, what's wrong with that name?"

"Nothing, just a nice blessing."

Just like Mu You would give herself various aliases, Mu You also hoped that the cunning guy with the same pink hair would be less socially anxious, or even more "socially anxious".

"Is it really just like that?" Qiong was still a little skeptical.

"Of course, if Qiong wants too..."

"no need."

Kasugano Sora decisively rejected Mu You's suggestion. She didn't need any other name and really didn't understand why You was so keen.

"Isn't this name another character from one of your stories?"

Yukinoshita Yukino quickly guessed the crux of the problem.

"Well, I'll give it to you later. Please pass it to Pochi-chan for me."

"..."

Yukinoshita Yukino didn't refuse, which was considered as her consent.

The few of them returned to the light music club and saw Shiina Mashiro still sleeping. Nothing in the room had changed, except that the sun outside the window had disappeared. The gentle evening breeze blew through the blinds, urging them to leave.

Mu You and Qiong looked at each other, and the latter said, "You go."

Mu You reluctantly picked up the dozing Mashiro and carried her on his back.

"Um, You, are you going back?"

"Well, hold on tighter, don't fall down."

When Shiina Mashiro on his back heard this, she wrapped her hands around Mu You's neck in a daze, and her snow-white legs also hugged Mu You's waist. Although she closed her eyes, Qiong next to her could still see the happy smile on her face.

"You carried me."

"Yeah, you win."

"You smells so nice."

"Your illusion."

"Yuu likes me."

"Aren't you awake yet?"

……

Shiina Mashiro hummed twice and then said nothing more, but Mu You felt pain in his waist at this time. He turned his head and saw Qiong smiling and studying the flesh under his clothes.

Wait, didn't you just ask me to recite it? Now you're pinching me and telling me to do this again.

But Mu You didn't say anything, and used the wind field to block out the surrounding sounds so that Mabai could rest for a while longer.

On the other side, Yukino looked at the three people who were getting along so harmoniously, and her heart suddenly trembled, as if something had bitten her.

People with surpluses give their surplus to those in need out of compassion. People call them volunteers, and they extend a helping hand to those in trouble. This is the purpose of her building this service society.

She always thought that she was the strong one, the one with enough resources to help others.

So she would agree to Mu You's requests again and again, because in her eyes Mu You was the same person as her.

But why, why do I feel sad when I see Mu You’s concern for Qiong and Goto Ichiri?

What happened to her?

Under the snow today, I feel inexplicably sad.
