Zongman: Dream with me

Yukinoshita Haruno opened her eyes and saw a pure white space. There was nothing around her, and all she could see was pure white.

She sat up somewhat dazedly and looked around blankly.

Where am I?

"you're awake."

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind her. Yukinoshita Haruno looked at the person and opened her mouth stiffly.

"you……"

"what happened?"

"Who are you?"

What’s going on? This guy has lost his memory. Is there something wrong during the treatment?

Mu You looked at Yukinoshita Haruno worriedly, and the other party also looked at him with eyes full of wisdom.

"Do you remember your name?"

"My name is Yukinoshita Haruno..."

It seemed that the key words were triggered. Yukinoshita Haruno frowned. Mu You felt the changes in the other party and realized that the other party was slowly beginning to recover his memory.

"How long have I been asleep?"

"According to outside time, it's probably been two days."

"So short?"

"Short, do you want to look at where you are? The time here is different from reality!"

"No wonder, I remember having a very long dream..."

"How do you feel now?"

"Well, very good!" Yukinoshita Haruno stood up and checked her physical condition. She found that her physical condition was unexpectedly good, but her head was still a little dizzy.

"That's good. Then I won't be abusing the patient."

Mu You smiled and drew out the magic knife. Black chains stretched out from the ground and hung Yukinoshita Haruno upside down.

"Wait, I think there's something wrong with my head. No! Ah! It hurts!"

Yukinoshita Haruno screamed in pain. She was not pretending. This guy really had the heart to do this!

However, Mu You's next words made her grit her teeth and remain silent.

"It hurts. Do you know what you're doing? Why didn't you tell me in advance? Do you know how dangerous it is? Do you know that even your sister has forgotten about you? You almost couldn't come back, do you know?"

This was the first time Mu You felt so angry. He had always been a very easy-going, even somewhat indifferent person, and would not get angry about anything.

But Yang Nai couldn't do that, because her Eye of God was given to her by Mu You. It was he who led her onto this path. Until she was able to stand on her own, he would be responsible for her.

Mu You scolded Yang Nai severely for ten minutes, and Yang Nai also endured it for ten minutes.

She knew that she might be a little too naive. There were too many mysteries in this world that she could not easily get involved in. She was still too immature.

"Alright, that's it. Yang No, you're a very smart person, so there's no need for me to say it a second time. That's it."

Mu You conjured up a bed and put someone on it with his stomach lying on it. Yang Nai buried his face in the pillow and said nothing.

After a long time, Mu You heard a faint "I'm sorry".

Tsk, do you feel embarrassed now?

But Mu You didn't say much. In this situation, it was best to handle things in a businesslike manner.

Your problem has not been completely solved yet, reach out your hand.

The little head buried in the pillow moved, revealing a pair of beautiful eyes, looking curiously at the boy sitting beside the bed.

The black hair and handsome face were both familiar and unfamiliar. He was holding one of her hands. Although he was a boy, his hand was whiter than hers. His fingertips gently stroked her palm, which made her feel a little itchy.

What was even more special was his eyes. Unlike when he was Kasugano Yuu, he always looked at everything with a smile, as if wearing an exquisite mask. Now the boy's eyes were more restrained, revealing seriousness and indifference.

And the indifference that is impossible to understand but always hard to conceal.

This is the "Muyou" that Yukinoshita Haruno thinks of. He is more real and more strict than the guy wearing a mask on weekdays.

But she couldn't understand what kind of experience had caused him to have such a similar, yet completely different face.

"Is the girl okay?"

"Hmm, huh? Who are you talking about?"

"The original owner of this thing, you're not going to tell me it appeared out of thin air, are you?"

"You know everything? You're looking at my memories again?!"

"I don't, I just know what I'm supposed to know."

Yukinoshita Haruno looked at Mu You's face seriously, hoping to see something.

Huh? Why can't I feel anything?

As Mu You moved, the surrounding environment seemed to begin to change. The originally empty world began to appear layers of thin curtains, emitting a faint blue light, enveloping the two of them.

"Where exactly are we?"

“Have you ever heard of quantum mechanics?”

"Hmm?" Yukinoshita Haruno remembered that when she was working on a commission related to Sakurajima Mai, a girl with long brown hair and a white coat also mentioned this word.

“Is there any connection between the two?”

"There may be some."

Mu You didn't know how to explain it, but the result was that they were now trapped here. It took Mu You two days to find Yang Nai.

"So, as far as reality is concerned, we were both forgotten."

"Really? What would happen if I appeared in front of Yukino right now and told her that I was actually her long-lost sister?"

"Not much, because she can't see you."

"You don't understand romance, can't you let me imagine it?"

"Thinking of a way to play a trick on your own sister, making up a tragic story about yourself, and then solemnly swearing that you're willing to take a paternity test?"

"how do you know?"

"..."

"Haha, I was just wondering how Yukino would fare without me."

"That's impossible, don't think too much."

Mu You said casually that he was now combing through Yang Nai's body, finding the regular fragments inside her body and putting them together like a puzzle.

This is not a very difficult job, but it does require patience.

"It's different, Yuu, it's different."

"Why do you ask?"

"Because I had a very, very long dream. In that dream, everything was so real, yet everything was so different."

In that dream, Yukinoshita Haruno was still the same as she is now, graduating from General Affairs High School and attending a nearby National University of Science.

But when Yukino went to General Affairs High School, she did not meet the Kasugano sisters again, nor did she meet Mu You again.

Her life had not changed at all. It was like a train running on a predetermined track. She graduated from college, entered society, and married a similar guy.

There is no extraordinary daily life of monsters and magic, and there is no one who leads her to another new world.

This was her life, a life that was originally hers but made her extremely desperate.

Mu You's hand stopped. He listened to Yang Nai's story quietly and said calmly, "It's just a dream. There's no need to be nervous."

"Of course it's necessary!" Yukinoshita Haruno looked at Mu You stubbornly.

"Why do you bother with this?"

"Why do you deny all this?"

"..."

"Look, You-kun, you're not good at lying at all. You always just respond with silence. Isn't that a disguised admission?"

"..."

"I can sense that when I was telling you this story, your heart wasn't at peace. You were listening very attentively. If it was just a dream, why would you take it so seriously?"

"..."

"Yu-kun, can you tell me what this dream is about?"
