Zongman: Dream with me

A little girl named Ying accidentally got lost while playing in the forest. A boy named Yin took her out of the forest and told her that he was a "monster".

In the human world, that forest is inhabited by a "man-eating monster," and children are warned not to go in. But Yin underestimated Ying's courage, and instead of scaring her, he curiously wanted to "pounce" on him to verify what he meant by "disappear."

As a result, Ying was beaten severely with a wooden stick by Yin, but the fate of the two began from then on and lasted for 10 years.

Because of her curiosity about Yin, Ying has an inexplicable love for this forest. She returns to her grandfather's house every summer vacation to play with Yin, from elementary school to high school. In the process of getting along, Yin understands Ying's dream, and Ying also learns about Yin's life experience and the true meaning of disappearing when touched by humans.

She grew up step by step, and Yin waited for her at the agreed place year after year. The difference in height was like the feelings in the heart, which unknowingly shortened the distance between the two people and they even fell in love with each other.

Ying is getting more and more afraid that Yin will touch her, so she is always cautious and keeps reminding Yin; but Yin is just the opposite, he wants to touch his beloved girl, hold hands, hug and kiss her, he wants more, he wants to stay with Ying like a normal human being.

Later, Gin heard from the mountain god that there was a human doctor named Natsume Takashi who could cure monsters and had once cured a monster of an incurable disease.

So Yin made an invitation to the monster, but what he didn't expect was that she also invited two humans, one of whom was a good friend of the monster doctor.

Kasugano Sora listened quietly to Yin's story, she could feel the other person's inner anxiety.

It is such a sad thing that two people are in love but cannot touch each other from beginning to end.

But what puzzled Kasugano Sora even more was why the scene before her was so similar to the story in her mind, as if it was told to her by someone. Who was it?

Kasugano Sora tried to recall the situation carefully, but found nothing.

Is it really a god?

Kasugano Sora played with the Eye of God in her hand. This was a test from God.

“If even Natsume can’t help, what are you going to do?

They were gathered in an abandoned pavilion at this time. Because it was rarely visited, the monsters had prepared fresh fruits and fine wine on the supporting stone pillars, and also prepared sweet water made of nectar and dew for Qiong and Mashiro.

Monsters gathered in groups of three or four, sharing their recent experiences, and Asagi also picked up the piano to play for the banquet.

When the song ended, Kasugano Sora asked Gin this.

"I've waited long enough, and I don't want to wait any longer."

"..."

Is this really what happened this summer?

This man named Yin will lose the chance to truly embrace his beloved girl after an accident, but he will end up disappearing completely.

For the one he loves, he chooses to risk his life.

Kasugano Sora remained silent and turned to look at the vast sky. She didn't know why, but she felt very conflicted.

It was as if there were always two voices in my heart. One voice was shouting loudly, "Help him, you must help him, you have the ability!"

The other one, however, seemed much more rational, helping her analyze the situation calmly: "Have you really decided to do this? You know the original story's trajectory, you know their original fates, but are you really prepared to interfere with the fate of others?"

"Is it that serious?" Qiong was a little confused.

"Of course not. I'm just worried that if something bad happens in the future, you'll be stressed out by it."

There are many things that can change a person's life, but those who are involved are often confused. Many times, we only realize many years later that at those crossroads, we chose our own lives.

But this time it’s different. Qiong already knows what will happen, so if she really makes up her mind, everything will really change because of her.

"I've made up my mind." Kasugano Sora closed her eyes, seemingly talking to herself, but also seemed to be talking to someone.

The breeze in the forest gently brushed across her face, as if approving of her choice.

"sure?"

"Well, because if it were me, I would probably make the same choice, risking my life for the one I love, no matter who he is."

Ever since her parents passed away, Kasugano Sora seems to have been living alone. Although she always feels sad from time to time, the arrival of Mashiro later added a lot of fun to her originally boring life.

Speaking of Mashiro, she came here to look for a cartoonist named Bai Ke. She got the news from somewhere, but when she heard that the other party was a student of General Affairs High School, she came here happily to study.

But because she has no common sense, it has always been Kasugano Yui who takes care of her.

In Kasugano Sora's opinion, it doesn't matter. She can live alone or take care of this "three-no" girl. She just doesn't have much enthusiasm.

But when he saw this guy named Yin risking his life for the girl he loved, he suddenly felt a little lonely for some reason.

I feel like I have forgotten something important, but what is it?

she does not know.

The quarrel between the two of them in their hearts has stopped, and they have reached a consensus - they can help!

"Qiong?"

Since the beginning of the banquet, Mashiro has been eating on the ground, mainly because she does not have very good common sense. She always watches how others do it before trying it carefully.

Because there was no one to tease her and help her clean the residue off her face.

She saw Qiong walking towards her, greeted her, and then handed the fork with a piece of fruit on it to Qiong's mouth.

Kasugano Sora tilted her head skillfully and tasted it. She was surprised to find that it was quite delicious.

"Mashiro, what do you think of this party?"

"The food is delicious, but the monsters are weird."

"What a strange method?"

"Their colors are very light and clean."

"Well, the thinking of ordinary monsters is actually very simple. If you make a promise with them, they will remember it for a long time. Even if you don't come by the time, they will still wait."

"Is that so?"

"Ah."

As Qiong spoke, she began to laugh. What was she talking about? At the same time, she saw that Mashiro was looking at her in confusion.

"..."

"..."

"That's it for now, I'm going to talk to Asagi."

So, after being teased by Mashiro and fed a few pieces of fruit, Qiong left to find Asagi and talked to her about Gin.

------

"You really have a way of making Silver accessible!"

Asagi was very shocked after hearing what Qiong said, but when she thought about the other party's identity, she suddenly felt that it made sense. The other party, like Lord Natsume, possessed the Eye of God and was a person favored by God.

“Yes, but it requires the cooperation of the girl named Ying. They can sign a contract to break the curse on Yin.

But the price is that Gin becomes an ordinary person, he will no longer have as long a time as the monster, and he will also grow old like ordinary people.

And by then, I can’t be sure whether he can see you again.”

"I'll tell him."

Kasugano Sora watched the other person leave with an unchanged expression, but she was actually a little worried inside.

Will the other party accept such an offer? Yin agreed, but what about Hotaru? Will they regret it in the future? Will they live happily ever after?

Although these were some of the worst assumptions, Qiong had to think so. It was indeed a wonderful feeling to change the fate of the people in the story for the first time.

But they should be happy, after all, they have been with each other for 10 years.

Meeting and talking again and again, the thread of fate has already entangled them together, heading towards a future that no one can predict.

But at this moment, Kasugano Sora thought of another thing. Who told her this original story?
