Chapter 281: Dreams


-----


As I slept, I woke up in my dreams.


Ah, now that I am a Daydreaming Dragon, I guess I can travel through dreams even easily.


I found myself floating in the middle of a beautiful starlight sky. Was I in some kind of dream imitating s.p.a.ce itself?


I looked everywhere, and there was just an endless and beautiful cosmos.


Stars everywhere the eye could see, nebulas, and pa.s.sing comets of brightly colored tails.


I began to dive through the endless cosmos, as I suddenly found somewhere else within it.


Huh? A beautiful, blue-skinned ice giant girl… Of course, how can I not recognize her?


"Benladann? Is that really you?"


I wondered if it was her because this could be the fabrication of a dream.


I checked her a bit, and it was indeed her, her soul flowed strongly from within her.


"Drake? Am I dreaming? This is the first time I dream of something so vividly and lucidly… I usually am in a daze when I dream…" she said.


"Y-Yeah, sorry about that, it"s my dream, I think you mixed on it because we sleep too close with one another," I said.


"Ooh… That"s cool! I"ve never seen the dreams of another person before…" said Benladann.


"You don"t mind?"


"If you don"t mind, I don"t mind." She said cutely.


"Alright then my princess, come with me," I said rather gallantly, as I extended my hand towards her, and she held it.


"Hehe, it"s funny when you act gallantly…" she chuckled.


"Geh… I-It wasn"t a joke…" I sighed.


"Oh… Sorry, it is still charming…" she said.


"I guess you can say that." I laughed.


We flew around this cosmos-like dream, as we traveled towards the nearest nebula. It was blue and azure-colored, floating majestically across the vastness of this imaginary universe.


"So beautiful… I have never traveled to s.p.a.ce before." Said Benladann.


"Me neither, but in dreams, you can do anything you want… Anything on mind?" I asked, as I shaped the nebula into a couch and we both sat over it.


"Ooh, fancy…" she chuckled.


She sat at my side and rested her head over my shoulder.


"Hmm… I don"t know… Oh! I know." She said.


"What is it?"


"I have never seen how you looked in your previous life… Can I see it? You said we can do anything." She said.


Ah… That caught me off guard.


Ugh, this is a bit embarra.s.sing now…


I wasn"t particularly the prettiest guy back then, nor anything special…


She"ll see how pathetic I was… Ahh…


This is indeed embarra.s.sing.


But if she loves me… then I guess she won"t mind it too much?


I hope…


"Okay, but… promise me that you won"t judge me based on how I used to be…" I sighed.


"Oh… S-Sure… I would never do such a thing…" she said, holding my hand.


"T-Then let"s go…"


I waved my hand, as a dream portal emerged. I shaped a new dream based on my memories of my previous life at random, and we hopped inside of it.


Here we go then…



When I opened my eyes once more, I found myself inside my room.


Hm?


And I was… me?


I looked exactly like my previous life self.


And where"s Benladann?


She"s nowhere?


EH?!


"Benladann?! Where are you?!"


I began to walk around my room. It wasn"t messy because I was obsessed with cleaning, so at the very least it could be said I was proud of having a cleanroom.


Ah…


I stopped midway through as I admired it for a bit.


It has… really been a while.


How long now? Half a year since I died?


It feels so long… like years.


I went around the bookshelves, as I found my books… My manga, light novels, and so on.


I grabbed them and began to read them


All the pages were there?!


I guess they are all the ones I"ve read.


Those I left without reading… Yep, they were empty inside.


Sigh…


There was the TV and the Game consoles… Switch, Play Station, Xbox… The games were there.


Oh… I wish I could just sit once more and just enjoy a nice playthrough in one of my favorite games for a change of pace.


Ah. But Benladann! Where is she?


I walked into the next room, as I heard someone"s voice.


Someone very familiar… which I had not seen in a long time.


"Big brother?"


"…"


My sister…


She"s… just a dream, I shouldn"t get emotional or anything.


But I guess… It"s not bad to greet her, right?


"S-Sister… how are you?"


"Hm? I"m good… You got out early. Ready to go out?"


"To go out?"


"Yeah, you promised me we were going skiing!"


"Ah… No, wait… I can"t…"


"But you promised me!"


"…But I will die."


"Die? You won"t die! It is just skiing, stop being so timid and come hang out with my kids, let"s have a nice time together… How long has it been since we went out like sister and brother?" she sighed.


She looked at me with her beautiful aquamarine eyes.


Ugh… I am weak to those eyes.


"Fine…"


"Alright then! Come pack up things with us!"


She held my hand and led me to the living room, where I greeted her husband and her kids. They were all there… I also kind of miss them. I saw her two kids grow up since they were babies, I took care of them for several days, so I guess I am a good uncle for them… I like to gift them games too. Well… I liked.


"Ready for its buddy?"


And her husband, she was a childhood friend of hers. A good guy. He used to be a timid nerd back then, but she chose him over other guys because of his honesty.


"Yeah, let"s have some fun."


"That"s the spirit man."


I wonder if I could… see my parents or my big brother.


"Let"s go!"


"W-What about mom and dad?"


"Don"t you remember? They went into a resort."


"Oh right…"


We went into her car, and we moved into the mountains after some time.


It all felt so real.


I wonder… am I really dreaming?
