[Comprehensive] Your wish, I will come true

"Sister Lan, don't you still need to go to the store today?"

"Yes."

To be honest, Mao Lilan hasn't worked in the store for a while.April [-]st hasn't let them pass since Valentine's Day ended.

Of course, the matter of "not letting them go on April [-]st" was finally told to them by the Domeki.They didn't know what happened, so she asked Natsume specifically, but Natsume also looked confused.

Maybe there is something troublesome to deal with?Mao Lilan thought so optimistically before.

But, it's been too long, April [-]st can't take so long, can it?

It's been at least half a month!

However, there is indeed trouble here - it should be that the hundred-eyed ghost is in trouble.

After Valentine's Day, I don't know why I can't wake up on April [-]st.

Speaking of it, after Valentine's Day was over, he went to the store, and Quan Luduolu said that before he woke up on April [-]st, Baimugui felt something was wrong.You know, April [-]st will basically wake up before he comes.Then he found that he couldn't wake up no matter what, and Baimugui realized that something had happened.

Although, with the current situation on April [-]st, even if he continued to sleep without eating or drinking like this, it would not have much impact on his body.

His time has long stood still.

Although sleeping like this has no effect on the body, in various ways, he still has to wake up on April [-]st.

But why was he sleeping?

Natsume has been dreaming again recently.

Since he was helping in the shop, he rarely dreamed, and probably because of the charm that April [-]st had given him, now at least he would not be chased by monsters.But on the other hand, he also needs to help April [-]st fulfill the wishes of the monsters.

This can be regarded as another formal price, right?

But after waking up, Natsume didn't remember the content of the dream.That dream was like a cloud of smoke, without leaving any mark in his mind.

But this dream left a mark on Natsume's heart.Although Natsume didn't remember the content of the dream at all, the feelings of that dream remained in his heart.

So happy, so satisfied, so happy that it almost made people cry.

But what Natsume really cares about is not the feeling of happiness, but the sadness and helplessness behind the happiness that makes people even more sad.This sadness was hidden very deep, so deep that if Natsume hadn't savored it slowly, it would have been easily overlooked.

Natsume didn't know if this was his dream, but besides him, who else would have such complicated emotions?

****

"Look, it's her, gloomy all day long, and she doesn't know what she's thinking."

"Yes, ghosts and ghosts appear every day. It's really scary to be in the same class with such a person."

"That's right, why doesn't such a person leave..."

[Malicious, all malicious. 】

[Maliciousness surrounds me and fills me up. 】

Yoshiko Natsuguchi sat quietly on the seat, lowered her head slightly, her black hair hung down beside her face, covering Yoshiko's face, giving Yoshiko a gloomy feeling.

Yoshiko Natsuguchi quietly listened to other people's discussions.

She knew they hated her.

Because, if she is the best one.

Her mom told her she had to be the best, the best.

"No.1, Yoshiko Natsuguchi, full marks."

She has a lot of test papers with full marks, because her test papers must all be full marks.

"The one who did the best this time is Yoshiko Natsuguchi."

That is necessary, because if she is the best.

"Ryoko is really my good boy. It's great to be so good. But Ryoko needs to be even better."

Okay, Mom, I will be better.

But why, she is so outstanding, but the classmates don't like her?

Why, even though she is already so outstanding, and she will have the brightest future, she feels that she is like a drowning person, as if she is about to suffocate every moment?

By this malice, by this requirement called "excellence".

【So painful...】

【I want to be free...】

【If you can, just keep sleeping and never wake up...】

【In that case, there is no need to...】

She doesn't want such a life...

****

Natsume knew clearly that he was dreaming.

He clearly knew that he was being chased in a dream.

He clearly knows that the thing chasing him is a monster who is good at devouring others in dreams.

It was thanks to the fact that Natsume finally had the opportunity to catch up on the knowledge of youkai when he was in the store before, and then he recognized what kind of youkai it was.

It is very simple to deal with the monster behind him, as long as you meet someone who also has power in the dream to disperse it, or have a good dream, it will be driven away.

But it's really a pity that Natsume can't do the latter at all now, and can't look forward to the former.

But there is no unparalleled path, and an arrow shining with silver light shot over, scattering the monsters behind Natsume.

"Thank you, thank you..." Natsume wanted to thank the visitor, but was shocked when he saw the visitor's face: "Hundred-eyed ghosts treat you?!"

"No, I'm Jing's grandfather, that is, my great-great-grandfather."

The visitor chuckled.Natsume is silent, indeed, the person in front of him has a sense of precipitation of Zuiyue and the gentleness of an elder.

"I'm here to see you. Junxun has encountered a little trouble recently and needs your help. Would you like to come?"

"Junxun? Is it April [-]st Lord?" Natsume had never heard of this name.

"Yes." Baimugui looked at Natsume, "You and Junxun are similar in some ways, so I hope you can help Junxun."

Natsume opened his eyes wide, "Is something wrong with April [-]st?"

Domeki Haruka just smiled, "Come with me."

Natsume didn't know where the person in front of him took him, but there was a strange sense of familiarity slowly recovering in his heart, and at the same time, the sense of happiness that made people cry was also recovered.

"here it is……"

"This is Junxun's dreamland."

"Natsume, please, wake him up."

Natsume approached slowly, he wanted to know what could make April [-]st so happy and what would make him unwilling to wake up.

"Mr. April [-]st, hurry up and cook, we are going to have a reception tonight!"

"April [-]st who reads April [-]st and writes April [-]st, go and go!"

Contrary to Natsume's expectations, the dream on April [-]st was nothing special, it was still the small storefront, but there was an extra woman inside that Natsume had never seen before.

"What, didn't you have a reception yesterday!"

On April [-]st, she didn't wear some fancy clothes, but a very ordinary school uniform, wearing an apron, and holding a feather duster in her hand, as if she was cleaning.Hearing the words of the woman and Mokona, April [-] yelled impatiently, but obediently went into the kitchen to cook.

None of them seemed to see Natsume.

Natsume had never seen April [-]st like this.

Compared with the April [-]st he saw, the April [-]st here obviously has the vigor and vitality of young people, and his personality is not as calm as later, very irritable and talkative.

But inexplicably, seeing such April [-]st, Natsume felt like crying.This feeling came inexplicably.

"I've been waiting for a long time." The woman looked at April [-]st, "Wait, April [-]st-kun." The woman stopped April [-]st who was about to leave, and then looked straight at Natsume.

On April [-]st, I followed the woman's gaze and looked back, "What, Miss Yuko, there is..."

Before April [-]st finished speaking, his pupils suddenly shrank and his mouth opened, but he couldn't make any sound.

"Humans are the most mysterious creatures in the world. When the reality is not what they hoped, human beings will hide in dreams and live their fantasy lives in dreams." The woman slowly raised her hand, as if talking to Natsume, It also seems to be speaking to the first of April, and it is more like speaking to nothingness.

"However, dreams always wake up."

After the woman finished speaking, she stood up gently, and slowly, slowly hugged April [-]st.

"Dream, it's time to wake up."

Natsume saw that after the woman said this, April Yi's body was trembling slightly.Although the woman blocked April [-]st's face, Natsume knew that April [-]st was very sad at this time.

"Ah, yes, dreams always wake up."

On April [-]st, he slowly hugged the woman back, "Miss Yuko, did I let you down?"

"Good boy, you are a good boy. You are all good boys."

In the woman's words, there is infinite emotion, profound helplessness, and a touch of comfort.

Dream, one day will wake up.

"Ryoko, shall we go home together today?"

"Liangzi is really good this time, and he did so well in the exam."

Natsuguchi smiled and chatted with her friends.

Such a life is really beautiful.

But why does she always feel a little offended?

It may be an illusion.Isn't such a happy life without shackles what she has always wanted.

But why does she want such a life?

【Because you are escaping. 】

"Yoko is really popular. Even if Yoshiko is not a very good person, Yoshiko can get along well with everyone."

Not an excellent person?When Liangzi heard this, her face froze slightly, and then she returned to normal.

It's really strange, why does she care so much about excellence?

[Because this is your life. 】

"Ryoko Natsuguchi, you have to study hard! Although your grades are not particularly bad, your attitude is too bad!"

Ryoko Natsuguchi lowered her head to be scolded by the teacher, her lips were tightly pursed.

Why, why is there such a strong sense of violation?

【because……】

"Because this is a dream."

Ryoko Natsuguchi was walking alone on the path, but was blocked by a boy.

The young man said this sentence inexplicably, but it made Natsuguchi fall into the ice cellar.

She couldn't help trembling, her right hand tightly grasped the hem of her clothes, her teeth clenched her lower lip tightly.

She knew why there was such a big sense of disobedience.

But she didn't want to leave this "beautiful" dream!

She doesn't want to! ! !

[But this is just a dream. 】

"Your wish has been fulfilled, and I have already charged the price."

Life is never perfect, that's why there are dreams.

However, dreams are just dreams after all. After waking up from the dream, no matter how cruel the reality is, people can only move on.

And this is what we call——

【Life】.
