That day, I was dreaming.

Yes, this is a dream.

It would be a lucid dream.

Because I am aware that this is my dream.

Coming out of my dreams is me and Yoku as a kid.

Both are still small, I guess when I was in elementary school.

Of course you can't see me, but it makes me understand that my low gaze was about that time.

It was raining in my dreams.

It's already dark around here.

Me and Yukun were walking in there.

By this time, Yukun and I were quite close friends, I think.

When they ask me why I was walking with you two, I can't remember why.

Maybe that's why he was out for some convenience and occasionally had time to go home.

Anyway, the two of us were walking on our way home from the rain.

Familiar, still walking toward home in a slightly different town than it is now.

In the meantime, a shadow darker than the darkness of night blocked our way from the slice of the street light.

When we found the shadow, it called out to us.

Yukun stands between me and the shadows.

The shadow approaches us by shaking black (...) y (...) na (...) d (...) ka (...).

Yukun blocks it with an umbrella, but the umbrella is quickly torn.

The shadow kicks the torn umbrella naggingly, swinging and sticking black (...) y (...) na (...) d (...) ka (...) against Yokun again.

Yukun takes black (...) with his right arm (...) na (...) d (...) ka (...), but it was gently pierced by Yukun's right arm.

The shadow immediately unplugs the black (...) y (...) na (...) d (...) ka (...) from Yukun's right arm, and the red stain spreads from Yukun's right arm.

And then the shadow looked down at Yokun and swung black (...) Y (...) NA (...) D (...) CA (...) again...

So, my dream is over.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Hmmm............ that dream again......"

I wake up. I realize I had another (...) dream (...).

Most importantly, I don't remember anything about (...) dreams (...).

I assumed you had a (...) dream (...) because you're sweating terribly sleeping and it's not the time to wake up.

The time now is 3: 17 AM.

If I'd been awake from this hour, it would have an impact on school or something.

I think so, I lie down in bed again but drowsiness is hard to come back to.

I have no choice, and I feel thirsty, so I get up and try to head to the kitchen.

At that time, I was worried and looked out the window.

Outside the window it kept raining.

The rain that came out of yesterday's daylight still keeps falling without showing any signs of yawning.

"You hate the rain at night..."

I didn't tell anyone, I crushed such a soliloquy, and now it was time for me to head to the kitchen.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

GW (Golden Week) is also after school a few days after dawn.

I was supposed to gather at my house for a study group.

The weather shows no sign that the rain that has been falling since yesterday's daylight will ever stop.

Well, naturally it's indoors for a study group, so it doesn't affect anything.

"Uh, here's... how do you figure that out?

Lu Dou is preoccupied with math problems.

That range is supposed to be the scope of GW's homework...

"... I don't know. Snow Sister, just give me a hint."

I think I cried quickly at the snow noise.

I think I can think for myself a little bit more.

"... Huh? What's wrong, Lu Dou?

But apparently the snow sounds weren't noticing.

"... oh, this is a problem..."

"If this was a problem, it was a range of homework, wasn't it? I think you'll find out a little bit when you review that one."

"... Was I? Let's take a look at the range of homework."

Having been tipped by the snow noise, Ludou began to review the scope of his homework himself.

It's not like Lu Dou can't study anything else.

I just can't remember because I'm not interested that way.

"Mr. Lu Dou is the same..."

Yaohua, who sits next to me and does the middle 2 problem set (Jibunobe today), says that.

By the way, unlike Lu Dou, Yaohua can also normally study.

I'm not jumping through and getting good grades, but I'm around from top to bottom inside, and I'm talking about myself.

"Honestly, I want to go home and play games when I have time to study like this. Hopefully, he's refreshing."

"Lu Dou..."

"... no, because I know. He said he would study properly. … at least until the end of the test"

"I think it would be a lot different if we just reviewed it every day, even after the test, huh?

"Yo. You think I can do that?

"I don't think so. For once, I just gave you some advice."

"If you know, don't say it. Honestly, it's tough just to study during the test period..."

So I'm telling you to study every day to ease that tightness...

Oh, my God, he didn't get a crease out of the situation around there.

... Well, I knew it was useless to just say it too.

"Ugh, while I'm having this time, the level difference widens..."

"Even so, I let you go free for the rest of the day. Should I have made plans to study during the holidays anyway?

"Can you study until during the long holidays? That's why I cleaned up my homework as soon as I could."

"Absolutely right"

Really, if even 10% of this passion could be directed to study, we wouldn't have to have this hard time every time, with each other.

"Besides, you've been pretty busy during the holidays, haven't you? Otherwise, you won't get all that grades in a militant tournament!

Well, as a matter of fact, I can't deny that I was immersed in the game during my vacation, either.

"I don't deny it, but we could afford to spend about two days a day on a study group, right?

"Damn... I used to say that even though I was critical to winning..."

"Nothing. I really wanted to win. I don't know..."

If I lose, I naturally regret it, so I went for the win, but if I lose, I lost. It's also true that that was good.

... No, it's true I wanted to win.

"... hey, time to take a break? I'll get you some tea."

"Oh, okay. Whatever's in the kitchen, you can use it appropriately."

"Yeah, well, I'm just gonna go"

That's all the snow went toward the kitchen.

"... Ludou, how's the snow sound going since this morning?

"Hmm? Oh, like that.... It's raining today, and you must have dreamed (...) of example (...)."

"The symptoms of Snow Sister are also serious..."

"Still, it's much better than it used to be. Hey, yo?

"Hmm? Sort of. That's why I won't let go of my plans."

"... it's okay there because I'm on the doctor regularly, right?

"It can hurt to be caught off guard..."

"You're worried too.... if we don't have a little more room, we could fall together until you do, huh?

"... I guess so. Well, don't worry, I'm fine so far."

"I also call it a doctor's nutritional, and you have to be careful, don't you? Brother?"

"Yes, yes, because I get it.... Can I help you with the snow noise too?"

I took my seat and headed to the kitchen.

"... that guy, you got away"

"Your brother's really worried about Snow Sister."

"I think it's more overprotective than worrying."

"... Either way, we need to be careful and see how it goes."

"Oh, right.... but this rain, let's just..."

The rain still showed no sign of stopping.
