Chapter 281: Dreams

Chapter 281: Dreams

-----

As I slept, I woke up in my dreams.

Ah, now that I am a Daydreaming Dragon, I guess I can travel through dreams even easily.

I found myself floating in the middle of a beautiful starlight sky. Was I in some kind of dream imitating space itself?

I looked everywhere, and there was just an endless and beautiful cosmos.

Stars everywhere the eye could see, nebulas, and passing comets of brightly colored tails.

I began to dive through the endless cosmos, as I suddenly found somewhere else within it.

Huh? A beautiful, blue-skinned ice giant girl… Of course, how can I not recognize her?

"Benladann? Is that really you?"

I wondered if it was her because this could be the fabrication of a dream.

I checked her a bit, and it was indeed her, her soul flowed strongly from within her.

"Drake? Am I dreaming? This is the first time I dream of something so vividly and lucidly… I usually am in a daze when I dream…" she said.

"Y-Yeah, sorry about that, it's my dream, I think you mixed on it because we sleep too close with one another," I said.

"Ooh… That's cool! I've never seen the dreams of another person before…" said Benladann.

"You don't mind?"

"If you don't mind, I don't mind." She said cutely.

"Alright then my princess, come with me," I said rather gallantly, as I extended my hand towards her, and she held it.

"Hehe, it's funny when you act gallantly…" she chuckled.

"Geh… I-It wasn't a joke…" I sighed.

"Oh… Sorry, it is still charming…" she said.

"I guess you can say that." I laughed.

We flew around this cosmos-like dream, as we traveled towards the nearest nebula. It was blue and azure-colored, floating majestically across the vastness of this imaginary universe.

"So beautiful… I have never traveled to space before." Said Benladann.

"Me neither, but in dreams, you can do anything you want… Anything on mind?" I asked, as I shaped the nebula into a couch and we both sat over it.

"Ooh, fancy…" she chuckled.

She sat at my side and rested her head over my shoulder.

"Hmm… I don't know… Oh! I know." She said.

"What is it?"

"I have never seen how you looked in your previous life… Can I see it? You said we can do anything." She said.

Ah… That caught me off guard.

Ugh, this is a bit embarrassing now…

I wasn't particularly the prettiest guy back then, nor anything special…

She'll see how pathetic I was… Ahh…

This is indeed embarrassing.

But if she loves me… then I guess she won't mind it too much?

I hope…

"Okay, but… promise me that you won't judge me based on how I used to be…" I sighed.

"Oh… S-Sure… I would never do such a thing…" she said, holding my hand.

"T-Then let's go…"

I waved my hand, as a dream portal emerged. I shaped a new dream based on my memories of my previous life at random, and we hopped inside of it.

Here we go then…

…

When I opened my eyes once more, I found myself inside my room.

Hm?

And I was… me?

I looked exactly like my previous life self.

And where's Benladann?

She's nowhere?

EH?!

"Benladann?! Where are you?!"

I began to walk around my room. It wasn't messy because I was obsessed with cleaning, so at the very least it could be said I was proud of having a cleanroom.

Ah…

I stopped midway through as I admired it for a bit.

It has… really been a while. josei

How long now? Half a year since I died?

It feels so long… like years.

I went around the bookshelves, as I found my books… My manga, light novels, and so on.

I grabbed them and began to read them

All the pages were there?!

I guess they are all the ones I've read.

Those I left without reading… Yep, they were empty inside.

Sigh…

There was the TV and the Game consoles… Switch, Play Station, Xbox… The games were there.

Oh… I wish I could just sit once more and just enjoy a nice playthrough in one of my favorite games for a change of pace.

Ah. But Benladann! Where is she?

I walked into the next room, as I heard someone's voice.

Someone very familiar… which I had not seen in a long time.

"Big brother?"

"…"

My sister…

She's… just a dream, I shouldn't get emotional or anything.

But I guess… It's not bad to greet her, right?

"S-Sister… how are you?"

"Hm? I'm good… You got out early. Ready to go out?"

"To go out?"

"Yeah, you promised me we were going skiing!"

"Ah… No, wait… I can't…"

"But you promised me!"

"…But I will die."

"Die? You won't die! It is just skiing, stop being so timid and come hang out with my kids, let's have a nice time together… How long has it been since we went out like sister and brother?" she sighed.

She looked at me with her beautiful aquamarine eyes.

Ugh… I am weak to those eyes.

"Fine…"

"Alright then! Come pack up things with us!"

She held my hand and led me to the living room, where I greeted her husband and her kids. They were all there… I also kind of miss them. I saw her two kids grow up since they were babies, I took care of them for several days, so I guess I am a good uncle for them… I like to gift them games too. Well… I liked.

"Ready for its buddy?"

And her husband, she was a childhood friend of hers. A good guy. He used to be a timid nerd back then, but she chose him over other guys because of his honesty.

"Yeah, let's have some fun."

"That's the spirit man."

I wonder if I could… see my parents or my big brother.

"Let's go!"

"W-What about mom and dad?"

"Don't you remember? They went into a resort."

"Oh right…"

We went into her car, and we moved into the mountains after some time.

It all felt so real.

I wonder… am I really dreaming?
