Tiana stood there, staring at the door where Emma had left.
I forgot that I was in the middle of changing, and I put on a brassiere and panties and fluttered my buttocks.
"Dear Tiana, I'll catch a cold while I'm naked."
I saw a cat ear worker dressing up to a woman.
The woman finally returns to me as she pushes through the sleeves of her clothes one by one with a good hand, closes the buttons in front of her chest, and hooks her skirt into place.
"Ha... I'm sorry, Lana"
Nyaan...
Seeing Lana flip her tail back to the stateroom and desk, Tiana returned her heels and turned to her seat.
Yes, I have to write down the prophecy I made earlier.
For the sake of peace in the world and humanity.
I decided to live for my job.
"Ugh..."
But I can't get the job done.
Until a while ago, I was able to mobilize my head to [processing power] and mahi my thoughts.
--The feeling of love is the best in the world.
--What if the ladies don't like you! --
Emma's words refresh her head.
I accidentally took out that little box I got from Ayga.
Gently open the lid with your fingertips and a small ring shines.
... the deepest part of my chest became so hot.
"Aiga..."
The engagement ring [Engagement], of course, is just a product of cultural practice.....
That's right.
If masculinity and femininity are prejudices, romance is also a fantasy shaped by the prejudice of "romantic love".
Such fantasies are abandoned and engaged in the work of maximizing the lives and money of "reasonable people" [Shigoto] is a rational principle of adult behavior in which "social people" should participate regardless of gender.
"Emma..."
However, Emma's [Beard] had nothing to do with such adult reasoning.
It's the idea of a girl.
Even though it was ancient and barbaric, it was certain that it hit the heart of Tiana, who was once a girl.
- Take me to your territory!
I even felt like I had the courage to say such a thing honestly.
That's right.
A man may have a man's home, and a woman may have a woman's home.
Gatan...!
Tiana suddenly stood up on the spot.
"Nya!? Tiana-sama?"
"I'm sorry, Lana.... Answer me!"
When she left the room, the woman ran to the harbor in a hurry.
◇◆◇
People say that they are potentially dreaming even when they are awake.
When you're eating, driving, and chatting with friends.
Just by not realizing it, I'm actually always having a dream.
However, when you are awake, you are not aware of your dreams, so you can concentrate on your daily life.
But.
Even though it is supposed to be awake, the sudden beat can get you stuck in your dreams.
That is what is called a daydream.
Since ancient times, people have deliberately thought of this mysterious dream as a demon or a monster, and have been grateful for it as a divine revelation.....
(Aiga...... Aiga...... don't come......)
Hero Cross was in such a chaotic consciousness of daydreams.
(Don't come, Aiga... why... are you...?)
You're not asleep or unconscious.
I'm sure it's happening, but I'm certainly dreaming.
(You... even though you're luggage for the party... Tiana with your cowardly hand...)
A nightmare of curses drifting in your consciousness.
jealousy, insulting [ah, etc.], hatred, resentment.....
It's like hell, where only the dark emotions that people have in their hearts are flooded in front of them.
"wk▽ ◇!...!"
My best friend is saying something.
But I don't know what you're talking about, and I'm just freaking out.
(Aiga...... ah)
Without patience, Cross pulled out the sword [Sword].
And then I pushed the tip into the man's chest in front of me.....
"Yushia... ma'am."
But at that time.
I notice someone's voice in the distance.
"Hero. Hero?" How would you like to do that? "
Daydreams were gone when I found out that it was my voice.
(What is this place...?)
Looking around, you can see the white table in front of you for meals.
The luxurious chandelier illuminates the interior more brightly than the exterior.
(Was your consciousness flying again? It looks like that famous three-star restaurant in Zaharbelt.....)
When I thought about it, I looked across the seat, and I saw a woman staring at me.
"Dear brave, is there anything you can do?" I've been calling out to you so many times. "
"Ah....."
The woman was Princess Natasha of the Royal Family of Goetheburg.
(... no, I mean, I was here for dinner with the princess.)
The sixth demon king, Animus, has been deepening his affinity with the royal family since the time of the crusade.
I'm not in a good position to be cautious.
Cross answered as he felt his cheeks burning in disrepair.
"No, let's think about the adventure..."
“That's right.”
S-Sorry, I'm so confused.
"... no. You always have no time to rest in battle."
Saying that, the princess sitting in her chair with her eyes down looked like a peony [Button].
The sound sounds and the beauty.
It seems that tens of thousands of people from Ichii [Shiage] have admired it and proposed to dozens of noble sons in the social world.
Crosse has now been approached by the Royal Family of Göteborg for such a conversation with the princess, but because of this, the princess often visits Zahalbert.
This is why such a cruel meal is also set up.....
"I'm very sorry about today." What can I say? "
Cross apologizes for being disrespectful.
"Please don't mind me."
"But...."
"Master Cross is a brave man." You lead the world to peace. Now is the time to make adventure a top priority. ”
When the princess says so, she gets on the carriage, but she opens the window of the car a little and says it is so small that she can't hear it this time.
"Well, Natasha admires the brave..."
Yes?
However, the little birdy courtship of the princess could not reach his ears, blinded by the city's traffic noise.
What are you talking about?
"No, no, nothing. (sweat)...... I'm sorry, then."
Said so, the carriage carrying the princess ran out.
With a deep thank you, the horse-drawn carriage is already small across the street.
(Even after deducting her status as a princess, she is a wonderful woman. but pathetic)
Cross, who was left alone at the intersection, mumbled to himself.
(Perhaps the princess is trying to push herself to death for the royal family and accept the conversation with me. It would be a year of longing for love.)
But its nibbleness is natural.
Perhaps his ability to perceive even the slightest favor of a woman, or his love, could have cleared the darkness of his heart and set the stage for a positive tomorrow.
And then.
He stepped straight into the square in front of the Adventurer's Guild.
The destination was an ancient statue of a hero.
Ever since I came to Zaharbelt, I have decided to come here when my heart has gone astray.
The bronze statue's grace reminds me of the strong and correct image of the [Hero] I heard at a young age.
"Something's wrong with me these days..."
Cross looked up at the statue of the ancient hero and crushed it.
Yes, that day.
The day I saw Aiga and Tiana shoulder to shoulder in the city.
Tiana turned her [female face], which she would never show to herself.....
When I saw the woman's face.
There was always a black urn in Cross's chest.
Since then, the cursed dream [Nightmare] has been nesting in that [Momoya] and corroding his heart [Mushiba] day and night.
"Idiot... my idiot!"
Cross shakes his head fiercely.
"I can't believe you cursed him."
"What's the matter, Mr. Cross?" You look so serious. "
At that time, someone whispered from behind.
The voice of the Lord hath his chin on his shoulder, and the boy's silver tongue is on his cheek.
You don't have to blame yourself.
"Yuri..."
I looked at the boy's face from a short distance.
"There's nothing wrong with it. Normal. You hate that man, Aiga. Isn't that right?"
"I... no!"
Cross grabbed Yuri's head as he pushed him away.
"It can't be!" I can't believe I hate him. "
Huh? Really?
The boy continued with a frightened smile.
"But you've been yelling at him for a while now." It's like you're firing a party and you're falling for it. "
"W-Well, that's..."
I'm wondering why this boy knows about dreams when he gets cool, but the cross doesn't have that cool now.
"Oh, that's a mistake."
Wrong?
"Oh, yes. Aiga was my best friend at Magic University when I was more dumbfounded." Thanks to his development skills, I was able to become stronger, and above all, I was the best adventurer I ever had. ”
I returned a little confidence to Cross's face and looked up at the statue of the ancient hero.
"I hear that dreams are sometimes manipulated by demons." That's right. The devil must be responsible for that cursed day and night dream. I have to go to church and get a [hahaha]..... "
"Phew... no matter how powerful a demon is, I can't let him dream about something he doesn't think of." Succubus, incubus, nightmare - what they do is they pull the deepest feelings of the human heart into the hierarchy of dreams. Dreams are more honest than people. "
With a strangely convincing theory, the shadows shot again at Cross's face.
"To be honest...?"
"That's right. Human nature lies in envy, insults, hatred, and resentment towards others." Everyone does. The only fruit of life is to purify the others. It's refreshing, isn't it?...... Ufufufufu "
The boy pointed back, smiling like a reaper.
"Besides, there are times when people hate each other as much as they ate the same cauldron." Come on, look back. "
That's how the silver-haired boy disappears like smoke.
(Yuri, where are you going...?)
At the same time, he heard a voice calling out his name from behind, and Cross slowly looked back.
