Fuyuki Canteen

ID: Dream of the Elephant Girl

It was a dream.

There is no doubt that it was a dream.

It was a dark closed box, only the water in the pool was emitting light blue waves.

The boy with no memory who came here several times due to a certain incident understood this point very well.

The girl imprisoned in the center of the water flowed naturally with her long black hair, her slender limbs suspended in it, holy and strange, like a sleeping angel imprisoned in a mural.

He stared at all this, and walked in front of the girl in a trance.

She didn't open her eyes, as if she had lost her memory, she just fell into an eternal sleep.

The moment he saw her, the boy learned her name and regained his awareness.

My name is Touma Kamijou.

It's one, detective... no.This identity is not suitable for me, Kaai Liu, or Ms. Asuki Ikiji.

Ok.

Thank you, Kamijou-san.Then, you are the one who came to visit the prisoner briefly.

"Xiao Jiaailiu's words, I'm still having nightmares." The young man in a light khaki windbreaker standing on his right suddenly said.His slightly lazy voice echoed in this quiet and closed space, his kite-colored eyes glowed with an almost inorganic light, "It's obviously painful, why are you still laughing?"

It was another visitor who asked the question, a tall young man with dark curly hair.

He claims to be a detective.Thinking about it, it is different from Kamijou in reality, he is a man who really has the talent of a detective.

But his question at this moment is sincere.

Kamijou didn't look at his companion, but just stared at Asukai.

After a brief frown, there was a calm face, and there was an imperceptible smile on his lips.The face of the sleeper showed signs of awakening after the young man's words fell.

The girl's eyelids flicked a few times, and then she opened her eyes.

It was emerald green like a mountain, but because of the dim light, it was a little more hollow and inorganic.

However, it is indeed a gentle color.

Kamijou recalled his first encounter with the girl.

It was a dream shared by three people.Kamijou didn't know why he was pulled into the dream, he didn't know the name of the girl in the water tank, and he didn't understand why all this happened in front of him.

Even detectives have no reasoning.

They never disturbed the girl's sleep, just quietly staring at her suspended above.

Therefore, at that time, Kamijou had never seen the girl open her eyes.

The young man who claimed to be a detective once guessed the girl's eye color, but that was just a boring pastime.

Until one time, Kamijou and the detective had a premonition.

They realized something from the message given by the dream, subconsciously took a step forward together, and put their hands into the pool water.

Kamijou standing on the left puts his right hand, and the detective standing on the right puts his left hand.

A miracle happened.

The girl in the water raised her hands, grabbed them, and opened her eyes.

It was a pair of emerald pupils as deep as a dream but with a little sadness and tenderness.

That was the same scene as now.

"Thank you, Mr. Dazai, Kamijou-kun." The girl smiled and held them, and with their help, she crawled out of the pool wetly.

That was the first time Asuka Ikiji had a conversation with them.

But Kamijou felt as if he had known her for many years.

Time in dreams is meaningless.

Any secular scale will lose its length, and dreams are such wonderful and unreasonable things.

Just like the tragic fate of Miss Asuki, who possesses such incredible power but cannot control it freely.

Kamijou was not a bystander of her fate, but he could smell the all-too-familiar tragedy in her, sinking into the depths of a nightmare.

Because of this, they always have a lot of time to chat in their dreams.

Kamijou will talk about the incidents he was involved in recently, and Dazai will also talk about his experience in solving commissions.They try to make it interesting, and the tragedy and bloodshed are clear at a glance, but there is always justice and love waiting at the end.The black-haired girl listened silently, then smiled at them.

It is obviously very painful, why do you still laugh?

A young detective named Dazai once asked the girl who had just woken up from the well, her abyss-like iris-colored eyes reflected the flickering light blue light reflected by the pool water.

They all understand that in the world of "The Well", girls will die tens of thousands of times in various unexpected and cruel ways.

Why can a girl smile when she feels pain that easily breaks the stoutest soul?

Kamijou could see that Dazai wanted to know that.

Yet he remained silent about it.Because he vaguely already knew the answer.

"Because my death is meaningful. I have helped many people."

The girl replied softly.

On her beautiful face, there was a contented but sad pale smile, like a flower blown down by the wind and about to wither in a moment.

"Also, someone told me that one day I will wait for someone who can completely save me. I believe in him, so I am willing to wait."

The end of the conversation, the end of the dream.

The girl with black hair and white skirt will lie back in the center of the pool.

A light and dim cyan light filled the enclosed space.

And Kamijou and Dazai held her hand each, watching her close their eyes in the water.

The smile, melancholy, and trance pain all faded away from the face of Wang Xiangnu, leaving only the most peaceful and peaceful expression in sleep, just like an ordinary girl who was placed on the bed.

Neither Fantasy Killer nor Human Disqualification can save Asuki Iki.

But the teenagers and youths who are favored and cursed by the world at the same time, and the teenagers and young people with ups and downs, all thought at the same time when they held her hand——

May you have a peaceful dream in the cold dreamland.

This is the whole meaning of our coming to this dream world.

The author has something to say:

Today is only an extra chapter, which is relatively short, sorry.

It's not over yet, there's still the text.Outer chapters are extra plots that are occasionally updated in the main text and have nothing to do with Emiya. They are generally such plot fragments.

This is a story I've wanted to write for a long time.Thoughts I had at the end of ID.

It would be great if Asuki was given a power-eliminating user.

The setting of this article is:

Fantasy Killer and Disqualification in the World can only temporarily remove Miss Asuki's ability, and once she lets go of the endless nightmare, she will return.

Neither Dazai nor Kamijou are the ones who can save her, but at least they can ease the pain.

The only wish is that you can have a peaceful dream in the cold dream.
