"Ready?

Lorraine asks me.

I'm lying next to Leah.

The head of the rear and my head are fitted with Lorraine's created monstrous magic props, and I even feel signs that they're going to be experimented with like this.

Leah's mother...... asks Lorraine if Humi has also become anxious about this look.

"Um, from now on... what happens?

"To Leah's dream, we send Lent in. This apparatus is for that purpose...... As a premise, dreamers are demons that enter people's dreams, where they suck people's livelihoods and nourish them. Its existence is close to the Spirit and it is considered extremely difficult to attack in this world. But in the dream world...... The world of dreams is a kind of alien world, but it can also enter if it mediates the consciousness of the sleeping person. Of course, you'll need a special way… we magicians, alchemists, know how to do that. That's what makes these instruments."

I mean, bring down the Dream Demon in the dream world, so...

Me.

I don't know why I do it, not Lorraine, because Lorraine has to adjust the procedure with this instrument on the outside.

In addition, the world of dreams is what its human spiritual power means.

It doesn't matter if you're actually strong or not.

It seems important to know how far you can believe in your strength.

Lorraine thought I would have it.

... I wonder.

I'm going to hang in there......

Well, I can't even say I'll stop now when I get here.

I'll do something about it.

"Then Lent, let's do it..."

That said, Lorraine casts a spell for bumps.

My consciousness flew when I made sure that the appliance attached to my head started to move with a chirp.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

"... Ouch!... Is this...?

I am shocked when my body is suddenly thrown out somewhere.

Where the hell am I?

When I thought so and looked around, it was apparently in the woods.

He said he was in houses all over the city just now.

Suddenly, I was able to travel momentarily, and I mean here...

"The world of dreams."

Lorraine said.

The shape of the world of dreams is different for people, and we need to try to get in and figure out what's going on.

To a large extent, people's dream worlds around the world are connected, and dreamers are those who come and go between their dreams and dreams.

So he explained in detail that there is no main body in this world... but the details were too professional for me to understand.

I just want to revisit my studies again... but not now.

We need to find Leah.

According to Lorraine, she should be somewhere in this world...

Walking around for a while,

"... hmm? You..."

A retreat and a man face from the back of the forest.

And he found me, and he opened his mouth.

"... you are..."

"No, it's an odd encounter to see you here. You know what I mean? Lent."

"I know... it's Zahr, isn't it?

That's right.

I remember that face.

A man in his mid-thirties who looks like a good face to people.

But he must have died in the meantime.

Pierced through its chest by the yellow tea unicorn Pura Supi.

Zahr was Leah's father.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

"No, it was a really good coincidence. The woods around here are dangerous... I wouldn't recommend walking alone."

Saul says as he walks.

"Once I'm an adventurer, I think I'll be fine."

"Overconfidence is forbidden. People don't know when they're gonna die."

I wonder if you say it, but it's a dream.

Follow Zahr without touching him in particular.

After a short walk, I saw an open place in the back of the woods where a small adorable cabin was built.

forward to the door, and when Zahr knocks rhythmically,

"Yes!"

A young voice sounds and opens properly.

I knew it came out......

"... Leah. I'm home."

"Father! Welcome home... is that it? Customer......?

"Oh! You should be surprised to see. It's Lent!

"What! Lent, stay!?

Leah, who said that and looked at me from the side of Hikomori Zahr, looked really surprised.

"Leah. It's been a few days... you know what I mean?

"Of course I understand. I just met him the other day... Um, but, brother, you've never been here, have you? When and where did you meet...?

That's what I say and tilt my neck.

You've certainly never been here before.

So it was a city...... ambiguous around it?

"Well, fine. Lent. You should go inside for now. Leah, have some tea."

That's what they say, and Leah runs inside every once in a while.

Zahr looked at it with a cheek,

"... you'll always be restless"

He said.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

That day, I was supposed to dine with Zahr and Leah and stay in that cabin.

No, that's what we were talking about at some point.

I tried to talk to Leah a few times about going back to this world, but Zahr interrupted me every time.

At first, I thought this man might be the dreamer, but Zahr's gaze at Leah was firmly his father's.

Maybe that's even an act...... in the meantime, I thought I'd see how it went.

It's like there's no time in the dream world, Lorraine said.

I decided to go discreetly because that wasn't much of a story to worry about.

And that night.

After Leah calmed down, Zahr called me in.

I wondered what it was like to be asleep in a dream world, and I didn't care, but you should ask Leah that later.

Tea appears on the table as Zahr sits next to the chair where he sits.

I didn't serve it, I didn't put it out of the pot.

It came out of nowhere.

"... are you here to help Leah?

That was not too surprising to be asked.

Because there was a verse that Zahr knew something about.

I snort.

"Oh. Humi and the therapist outside right now, plus Lorraine should be watching. I wondered when Leah was going to wake up."

"... well. How's Humi?

"I wonder how you are...... I'm sure you're dead and depressed, but there's Leah. I'm behaving like one."

"To Humi... I did something really bad. I was going to live longer. Life's not gonna work out."

"You... what the fuck?

"I don't know that either. It's just... when I realized I was here, living with Leah. That's all."

"... That's a strange story. So, you think Leah can stay here forever?

I ask questions with a core.

It was this man who even suppressed that I told Leah that this was the world of dreams and that she had to go back to this world.

I thought there was a reason I didn't want you to.

To this, Zahr,

"No way. It would be good for me to come every once in a while. Leah would have to wake up, wouldn't she?

"Then why..."

"Was I blocking your story? That's..."

I tried to mouth the answer, Zahr.

But at the same time, the house rocks with rattles.

After that, the sound of gibberish and shimmering sounded.

"... what!?

"Lent, look out the window... through the window!

"What... Huh!? This...!!

Said, peeking out the window, what I could see from there was something massive with scales blocking the entire window.

Looking closely, the gap opens occasionally, but soon its body is pressed against the window.

Probably, but they're tightening this cabin.

What the hell is this guy...

open the door and try to get out, but

"Wait! You can't open it now! Wait a while and it will fit."

That's what Zahr told me, so I decided to give up and stand still for now.

Of course, the sword was drawn and in a collisionary position, but the preparation is fortunate, it will be in vain.

The critical noise quieted and the shaking of the cabin subsided, turning into a quiet forest landscape outside the window.

Zahr sighed,

"... gone"

That's what I said, so I...

"What the hell is he?"

Ask.

Zahr answered that.

"... that binds the rear. Don't let me out of this cabin."
