Back pain made the ancient city wake up. It's almost four o'clock in the morning. He remembered that it was late at night when he last looked at the clock, so he had only slept for three hours at most.

It was about the time of the new moon, the sky outside the window was dark, and the unfamiliar high ceilings were the living room landscape in the elegant villa, and the ancient city finally remembered that he was in the blue paradise.

"Oh...... I fell asleep in the middle of playing......" Gucheng moved his stiff muscles and bones, and slowly got up, the reason why his whole body was sore, it seemed that he was asleep on the floor of the living room.

The three-seater sofa has shallots and Nagisa sleeping side by side across Yukina.

Scattered on the table were playing cards, and after the fireworks last night, the losing penalty game was played strangely lively, and everyone played until they fell asleep tired and sleepy.

Yukina, who has super card luck, and shallots, who rely on computer rate and memory to win cards, compete for the first place; Yase always shows his gambling luck at critical moments.

Except for the pupils who were sleepy and left the game halfway, Nagisha, who had nothing to do with the poker face, and the ancient city where the luck was so bad that it was shocking to cry ghosts and gods, it evolved into a situation where they were punished violently in turn.

"And that guy... It must be cheating..."The ancient city gritted his teeth in hatred at the thought of someone who had only been punished once.

After all, whoever suddenly finds that the cards in his hand have been silently swapped by people using the space transfer technique, and they will be angry if they have been punished.

“…… I can't stand it, even Ji Hiiragi is playing so much that I don't know what I'm doing. It's going to catch a cold. ”

Gucheng looked at the group of girls sleeping on the sofa and sighed dumbfounded. Yukina is sandwiched between Nagisa and the others, who fell asleep first, and seems to fall asleep just before she can move. Seeing her unsuspecting sleeping face like this may actually be the first time.

The shallots without makeup feel a little younger than usual, and Nagisa looks more mature when she falls asleep. All three of them are dressed in revealing clothes, but maybe it's a relationship where they want to sleep together, and the atmosphere is inexplicably warm. In the mood of becoming a father of three daughters, Gucheng turned up the temperature set by the air conditioner a little, and then helped them cover the blanket that someone brought to the living room.

Go to bed and go back to sleep—the old man yawned and walked to the boys' room.

Then, he spotted a figure standing in the hallway.

“…… Yase? Are you awake? ”

Could it be that the light in the living room was also turned off by this guy? The ancient city looked at his friend in shorts.

But Yase did not answer, but her lips trembled, and she said stiffly:

“…… Rice...... Miss. ”

"Huh?"

The strange words that Yase blurted out made the ancient city frown.

And Yase took a step towards the ancient city, and then opened his arms widely, and said:

"Miss Scarlet Rice ~~~~!"

"Wow, aaa

Suddenly, the ghost screamed and hugged Yase, which frightened the ancient city and stunned the whole person.

Obviously, Yase, who was dazed, was very sensitive. He went around behind the immobile ancient city and pounced on it with all his might.

If Guru remembers correctly, the "Scarlet Rice" in Yase's mouth should be the name of the older girlfriend he chased before. It seems that Yase is confusing the ancient city with her.

Is it okay to be knocked down by him? The ancient city desperately wanted to escape. And yet—

"Haha, you're still so unappreciative...... But I'm not going to die today! ”

"You're sleeping stupid, idiot! Wake up! Also, let me go! ”

Guru, who had goosebumps all over his body, shook off Yase with brute force.

Yase's body flew out with too much force, slamming into the wall with a "thud", and then he slid down and fell to the floor. It seems that this is a big blow.

"I didn't ...... You okay? Yase? I'm sorry. But you were wrong. ”

Isn't it too heavy to shoot - the uneasy Gucheng squatted next to Yase. But Yase didn't notice his presence, and just crooked his mouth and muttered to himself:

"Got put on the table, bastard...... Soul...... Domination...... ”

"Huh?"

Yase collapsed and lost consciousness in front of the surprised Castle, a painful expression on his face as if he had fallen asleep with all his might.

"Hmm...... Hey, Yase! ”

What's going on—the bewildered ancient city asked himself. Silence returned to the dimly lit living room.

The drowsiness was completely gone, and only the sound of the ancient city's own heartbeat sounded in his ears.

Mixed with the cacophony of a heartbeat, someone sounded like painful breathing. A faint spitting sound could be heard from the high staircase leading to the second floor of the villa.

"Whew...... Whew......"

"Hitomi?"

When was she there? The ancient city was puzzled, and looked up at the pupil in surprise.

Elementary school students in summer clothes sit on the landing of stairs, breathing profusely.

Her sweaty face seemed to be desperately resisting the changes that were pouring up from her body. It looked very similar to the ancient city when the blood-sucking impulse was attacked.

"No...... OK. Mr. Guru...... Stay back! ”

"Uh, but ......"

I couldn't leave my pupils, which were obviously uncomfortable, so Gucheng stepped on the stairs.

In an instant, the irrepressible sense of shame and fear made the girl's face distort.

"Ahh——!h

"Hitomi ......!"

"Don't look...... Please don't look at my ......! ”

The approaching ancient city made Hitomi retreat in fear. Something like a snake between her legs, twitching as if it had a volition.

“…… Don't ......"

When Hitomi found that the ancient city saw that thing, his face suddenly turned blue. Then, at an incredible speed, she turned around and ran to the second floor of the villa.

The ancient city that had been left behind stood stunned at the bottom of the stairs.

From the second floor, there was a faint burst of laughter that seemed to mock everything in the world. It was a laugh with a knotted eye, but it sounded like a stranger's voice. The ancient city was shaken by this.

I don't know what happened to Hitomi. However, her current situation is clearly unusual. The phrase "mind domination" that Yase muttered at the end also made the ancient city care. Result –

"—Guchengjun"

Gucheng, who was about to rush up the stairs, was suddenly stopped from behind.

The ancient city turned his head and saw Nagisa standing there silently.

"Nagisa, are you awake......!"

The ancient city exhaled worriedly. If the pupil is encountering some kind of supernatural phenomenon, Guang Gucheng can't deal with it alone. And the other party is still a cute young girl, Nagisa will definitely misunderstand that she is shooting at such a young child if she sees her own actions, although she is indeed cute

"That's right, you come over here, the pupils don't look right......!"

"You say...... Do you have pupils? ”

Nagisa looked up at the ancient city with an incomprehensible look and asked.

Well-the ancient city nodded with a wrinkled face and said:

Between her thighs...... Something ...... grow! ”

"That, senior......"

Nagisa glared at the ancient city reproachfully, then let out a sigh tinged with anger. The expression was like that of an older older sister correcting an ignorant elementary school boy.

"Even if Hitomi is an elementary school student, it's not surprising that at her age, there are such changes in her body...... Uh, I think so......"

"What are you talking about? It's not like that, what I see is the tail! She has a tail! ”

"Tail?"

"Yes."

The ancient city followed the memories of the momentary impressions that burned into his eyes, and bit his lips. What peeked out from under the skirt of the pupil must have been a tail, a black and thin beast tail with a pointed tip—

"That's probably not your average orc. I don't really understand it, but something is different. ”

The tail may not be fully physical, Gu Gu thought as he tried to climb the stairs, but at this time a voice came from behind him

"That's the Dream Demon, a powerful race in the demon race that has the ability to manipulate dreams, dominate the mind, and induce desires, and she is a very powerful dream demon."
