405 Episode 389: Like a Dream (Leaves and Cherry Blossoms)

"Bath... we're up."

The leaves, sitting on the edge of a luxurious double bet, saw the cherry blossoms that had just risen from the bath.

"Mmm...... Well, sit over here for a second."

"Yeah."

As the leaves told me, cherry blossoms sit gently next to the true leaves.

Between the two, such a distance, where the body seems to snuggle just slightly, moving the shoulders.

"Hey... my head's hanging in there."

"Me too."

"... let's sum up what happened today... lightly"

"Yeah."

Ye and Cherry Blossom begin to summarise briefly what happened today as the two of us discuss.

"In _______, I came to this house..."

"Really, there's too much going on."

"Yeah, really"

Between them, there was a little snug air.

Cherry blossoms speak to leaves, as they have decided.

"You know, leaves"

"What?"

"I think what happened in this world is my dream."

"Why, again"

Ye stares at that, sad look of cherry blossoms.

Cherry blossoms kept talking.

"Because... because? Isn't sword, magic, skill and level strange in the first place? There's something unrealistic going on here."

"What now?"

It was a leaf that said so, but I didn't show you any scratches that were stuck in the cherry blossoms.

"And besides, right? My eyes healed, because Ip confessed to me that he was dating... hehe... plus when Ayu's brother and sister came to this world first, they were already... I wonder if this is a world that reflects my aspirations. So I thought it was a dream."

Cherry blossoms stared at the clock in the room with eyes that looked at something distant. The clock refers to 12: 30 p.m.

"But..."

The leaves moved the body only slightly, keeping the shoulders close to the cherry blossoms. In addition, gently hold the hand the cherry blossom was releasing with the hand of the nearest one.

"You have a good feeling, don't you?

"Already, Leaf. Leaves would know, wouldn't they? Even dreams have a feeling. See, that one that feels like it's falling asleep..."

"Well, yeah,"

Grip the cherry blossom hands back to a painless degree, and the leaves continue.

"Yeah, I know how you feel. Even I still can't believe I was able to defeat Sultr or that I have a brother and a Micah sister. Earlier I thought it might be a dream too... but because I said cherry blossoms might be a dream, I was convinced this wasn't a dream"

Cherry blossoms looked strange and looked up at the face of the said leaves.

"Why?"

"If this is a dream for me, cherry blossoms, who are supposed to be in the dream, wouldn't say that, would they?

"... hmm? What do you mean?"

"Well, if you don't know, fine."

Cherry blossoms stared jizzily at Polypoli and the face of the leaves scratching her cheeks in embarrassment with their big, crushed black eyes.

"Yeah, so it's all, after all, real?

"Maybe."

"Oh well... then _______"

Basin ______________

A loud noise of cherry blossom hands slamming the cheeks of leaves resounds in this room, luxurious but silent in appearance.

Cherry blossoms turned, tears in his eyes, and leaves began to shut up, not trying to say anything about it, whether he was convinced that he had been struck.

"Hey. I told you not to leave me, didn't I? Take me, I told you, didn't I?

"Yeah."

Staring, cherry blossoms get angry.

"Then why did you leave me?

"... I don't want cherry blossoms getting hurt. Not to mention the demon god, a monster who took in Mr. Sho. Cherry blossoms... like Mr. Lil... because I could never stand them"

Cherry blossoms staring even sharply at the leaves that said so gripped his fist hard.

"Even I... I'm the same...! I can't stand leaves if they get hurt or die...! Didn't we talk about the same thing before!?

"I did. But, you know, cherry blossoms are important to me after all. I'm not going to say that anymore because I was angry when I said I risked my life... but I haven't changed my mind since long ago, probably, when I got my mind on it."

Leaves stared deeply into the cherry blossom eyes complaining in tears.

I can keep talking.

"I always liked it. I thought I had to protect you, and I still do. That's not enough words.... After sixth grade, you started studying late at night, didn't you, Cherry Blossom?"

"Yeah. Because I wanted to go to the same private secondary school as Ye"

"Honestly, I wanted you to stop that, too. Because I thought it might break my body.... Well, it turned out good to be able to go to the same school. Overprotective.. maybe. It could be ugly. But it might be strange if I told you this was my life... because that's what it is."

Ye kept staring at the cherry blossoms.

Cherry blossoms cry and keep staring at the leaves.

"... here's what I'm saying. Do you think I'm the person in the dream?

"Ha... ugh... right. Maybe it's not a dream. Maybe your sister, brother Ayu, and the leaves that like me are all real."

"Yeah, well, until I get used to being with my brothers, I can't help but dream.... Let's go to sleep now. If this doesn't cool you down, it's definitely not a dream."

Ye stroked one cherry head before knocking his body down and trying to sleep, but cherry arms stop it.

With the momentum as it was, cherry blossoms glanced at the lips of the leaves and kissed them.

The best, longest kiss I've ever had.

"Apologies for blowing it. I'm sorry."

"... okay"

Now it's time for the two of them to lie down on their bets.

Strong and strong, the cherry blossoms held onto the leaves.

"... sorry, weaken or leave me some more hugs..."

In the dark room, Leaf said so in a fine voice that disappeared.

"Hmm... I thought from you. Leaves like me, don't they? I hate to say it myself...... aren't you happy to be hugged by the kid you like? Why were you trying to escape?

"No, I'm glad... the..."

"What is it, just to be clear?"

The leaves blush.

Though the face doesn't look like a cherry blossom in the dark.

"... my chest..."

"Chest? Yeah, chest, right?

"............ yeah"

"Uh, yeah. It's illuminating. Because I'm bigger than the other daughters. Hehe... I think I found a weakness in the leaves...!

Cherry blossoms slept in a tighter, deliberately hugging their own against the leaves.
