The Pretty Girl Next to Me Asks Strange Questions Every Day

18 – Have you ever had a dream in which I appeared?

There are things you promise but don’t want to keep.

Something like ‘I have to play one more game and study’. Like ‘I’m going to do nothing else this weekend and go to bed early’. I don’t know, but among adults, ‘let’s have a meal later’ seems to be like that.

That was exactly the situation I was in right now.

I will call you first today. Thanks to that promise, Ina released her anger. And now it is night. The time has come to fulfill the promise.

However, I was hesitating while displaying Ina’s number.

It’s not because it’s annoying. I just realized it belatedly.

The difficulty of making a phone call to the other party.

When you call someone, you usually have a purpose. Even if it’s for a trivial reason like saying hello, it’s rare to make a phone call for no reason at all.

Calling for no reason doesn’t mean that you genuinely want to hear the other person’s voice, or that you feel happy just by talking.

Thinking about it made me feel embarrassed.

One way or another, time passes. Anyway, I had no choice but to press the call button. If she didn’t call and slept like this, horns would grow on Ina’s head tomorrow.

She took a deep breath and tightened her fingers.

The connection sound continued for a very short time, and then a voice was heard.

“Hello?”

A soft tone tickles her ears.

“Hello.”

“Yes, hello.”

Ina returned her greeting and let out a sigh of her relief.

“Why is that?”

“She said she would call me, but I was worried that she might not.”

“It can’t be.”

She decided to keep in her heart the fact that she could have done that just now.

What should I say now? What did you and I usually talk about? How come it seldom comes to mind?

I decided to throw up a useful topic when I had nothing to say.

“What is that? It will rain for a while from tomorrow.”

“Yes. I heard it on the news earlier.”

“I will suffer for a few days. It’s a test soon.”

“Huh? Do you hate rainy weather?”

A sudden question.

“It’s muggy. It’s annoying when wet.”

In that sense, I like winter better than summer. Of course, you can say that I like summer more when winter comes, but at least for now.

“How are you?”

When I returned her question, she said, “Umm~” And she seemed to be troubled.

“I…… I don’t think I like it or hate it.”

“Is that so?”

There are people like this. It might be better to be in the middle than to act on a whim like me.

The weather talk ended quickly. I’m thinking about what material to open the story with next.

“You seem a bit nervous.”

Ina blurted out.

Did you notice.

She seemed to have taken the non-response positively, and Ina started laughing.

“You understand now, right? How much I suffer every day.”

“You said it well.”

“I guess I’m making the phone call with my heart set on it too. So, not answering the phone yesterday is a huge felony.”

To make me pay for such a huge sin with just one phone call. I don’t know what to do with mercy.

“Then I will lead from now on.”

“Well, thank you.”

“It’s okay. Originally, I’m the type to lose during the day and win at night.”

Do you know what it means or do you write it? Well, if it were me, I would use it well even if I knew it. I decided not to think too deeply.

“Then I will have to do that today.”

“That?”

“A question. Didn’t I miss you today because I was upset?”

It seems that the time for a strange question has come belatedly.

Is asking a strange question a kind of ceremonial event for Ina? If you skip even one day, big things might happen.

“I’m going to ask you some questions today, so answer them in order.”

Without listening to my answer, Ina spoke the first words.

“Then first. Have you ever had a dream in which I appear?”

“A dream in which you appear?”

Well. Lose yourself in thought for a moment.

There are days when I don’t dream even when I sleep. There are days when I can’t remember even if I dream. There are also things that you remember when you woke up but quickly forget them.

So, in order for a dream to remain in the memory, it must be quite impressive. However, there were rare cases that remained in the head at the level of a vague image.

Looking back at the dim memories, it seemed that Ina had once appeared in a dream.

“I think there was. I don’t remember very well.”

“I see~ Now the next question. Have you ever heard that dreams are manifestations of the unconscious?”

I thought about it for a bit and answered right away.

“I think I’ve heard something similar.”

I remember being told that dreams reflect the unconscious. From something unconscious, um, something. It almost felt like this.

I don’t know if it’s true. I’ve never thought deeply about dreams, and I don’t know much about them either. But at least I’ve never been conscious of it, so I guess it’s unconscious.

Ina always responded with a “Yes, yes.”

“Well then. Suppose it is true that dreams come from the unconscious. Isn’t that unconscious, in other words, something like desire or desire?”

“I can see that as well.”

“In other words, does that mean that the dream reflects the person’s needs or desires?”

“What, is that so?”

Why do I feel more and more trapped?

Ina continued her question race non-stop.

“Next question. Have you ever heard of the three human needs?”

“I’ve heard of it. It’s appetite, sleep, and s*xual desire.”

“You know?”

“I picked up what was being said here and there.”

“Ummm~ then.”

Ina’s voice was very bright. I couldn’t see her face, but she must have been smiling brightly.

As if she was satisfied, she giggled.

“Does that mean that the dream in which I appeared came from one of your appetite, sleep, or s*x drive?”

“…… Uh?”

“Maybe you.”

With a voice full of laughter.

“If you want to eat me…… Do you want to sleep with me?”

“…… Wait a minute.”

Of course, Ina can’t wait for a while.

“Isn’t that the right song? Yes? Am I right?”

“No.”

“Isn’t it? Does that mean that you have s*xual desires for me?”

“That’s even less so.”

Why is the story going that way?

Ina laughed at what was so fun.

“So you’re saying there is something wrong with what I said?”

“Yes. Clearly.”

“Where?”

If you do it somewhere, well, first of all, the three major desires will be like that. I remember being told that such a concept did not exist in the first place.

She is, but even if she refutes that, it is certain that she will write a bunch of words again. How should I tell her to accept it? As she pondered for a moment, she threw another word into Inaga.

“Have you been looking at me like that all this time?”

And then I got an extra hit.

“Pervert.”

In just two letters, the accident circuit stopped.

“No, no way. Never.”

“It’s okay. You can admit what you have to admit. Adolescent libido is natural.”

“Have you read any strange books?”

Anyway.

I swear I’ve never seen Ina s*xually before.

Of course I am a man in my prime. You can’t be indifferent to it. Besides, the woman closest to me recently was also Ina.

But looking at Ina like that is ridiculous. Just imagining it made me feel guilty.

“Anyway, no. Really, never. I’ve never seen her with those eyes.”

The sound of “Really~?” He showed no signs of arousing suspicion. No, it seems that it has already been established.

While I was laughing, Ina asked as if tossing it.

“That…… Does that mean you don’t see me as the opposite s*x?”

There was silence.

Only the sound of quiet breathing comes over the cell phone.

I was taken aback by the question that had been dug into without any warning. In addition, Ina, who brought her words out, looked surprised at the moment. They couldn’t even utter a word with their mouths shut.

“Oh, that, over there.”

It was Ina who broke her silence.

“Ahahahaha. I just said this again.”

It was a somewhat bittersweet tone.

“If you’re in trouble, you don’t have to answer. Sorry.”

“…… No.”

And I.

How long will you just run away?

– I thought.

Swallows a gulp and inhales.

“With reason, I am watching.”

I heard a voice over the cell phone.

I have never made Ina a s*xual object.

However, whether or not you see it with the opposite s*x is another matter.

I see Ina as her opposite s*x. This cannot be denied and there is no need to deny it. Because we are the opposite s*x in the first place. In other words, it is the same as the default value.

…… No, it would be better to stop making excuses like this.

I am clearly aware of Ina.

Trying to deny this feeling is futile.

Somehow, I felt embarrassed. I didn’t say anything for a while, maybe it was the same.

“Um, what is that? By the way, have you ever had a dream in which I appeared?”

From noble mtl dot com

When I asked to break the awkwardness, Ina muttered, “Ah, uhm. It’s a dream.”

“Actually, I don’t have a lot of dreams.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes. It really does sometimes feel like a dream, though.”

Well, there must be people like me. I simply accepted it and tried to pass it by, but I heard a bitter smile on the other side of my phone.

“Ahahahaha. …… Well, maybe it’s because I don’t want anything.”

The words sounded self-deprecating, so I felt a little uncomfortable. Don’t you want anything? What do you mean?

“What do you mean?”

“Um~ I’ll keep it a secret.”

“Secret?”

“Yes. There is a saying that the more secrets a woman has, the more beautiful she is, right?”

Is there such a thing? I do not know.

Anyway, Ina didn’t seem to want to tell me what she meant. Then there’s no need to try to dig it out on my side.

I don’t know if the more secrets you have, the more beautiful you become, but it would be better to keep the things you want to hide.

As I was thinking that, a yawn came over my phone.

“Are you sleepy?”

“Yes. I’ll just go to bed.”

“Well, yes. Sleep well then.”

“Yes. See you tomorrow. I’ll hang up.”

I was about to take my cell phone off my ear, but Ina added another word.

“Ah, dream of me appearing today.”

You make all the difficult demands.

“Because it’s not my way.”

Ina smiled at my answer.

“Even though they see me as the opposite s*x?”

Ugh.

“…… I heard that dreams do not come from consciousness.”

“Ahahahaha. That’s right~”

What is so fun about Ina continued to laugh.

As she heard that voice, she thought that perhaps today she would be able to dream of Ina.

And that day I had a dream in which I was being chased by a giant cat.

…… What kind of dream are you
