Dreaming may not be a good thing at some point.

Especially when a person is physically and mentally exhausted, but unfortunately, people cannot control the timing of their dreams, and sometimes they cannot even wake up from dreams.

Even if he knew he was dreaming.

“...... Anyway, this is the first time, right? I use my current appearance to meet you here. ”

It was a picture that completely coincided with the memory.

The cherry blossom rain, the agreed place, and the girl, pure white.

“...... Luo, you've grown up, and you're almost unrecognizable. ”

Her voice was still so beautiful, so ethereal, that it hadn't changed in the slightest even in her dreams.

Her figure is no longer the appearance of a child, a slim girl, just standing in front of Luo Tianshu, but the overly long black bangs cover her expression.

Maybe you shouldn't say something like that at a good time, but ......

"Grow up, you big-headed ghost!"

didn't even have a second to think, Luo Tianshu didn't hesitate to spray.

"You're Kaoru, aren't you? It's Kaoru, right? What is growth? Is this something that can be said to seniors! You idiot! ”

“...... Cauterize? ”

Not surprised, not stunned, as if hearing the name of some stranger, the girl tilted her head slightly:

"What are you talking about, my name is not Kaoru."

"Less deception!"

In this case, maybe Luo Tianshu in the past might still believe it, but after such a long time of inference and counter-inference, he has been 10,000% sure that this person is Kaoru.

Because there's really no one else to choose from.

"You're Kaoru, aren't you? You can't see your face, but you're Kaoru, right? ”

“...... It's been a long time since you've met, and you actually recognize the wrong person. ”

The girl sighed as if distressed, and said slowly:

"If you don't know the other person's real name, you can't see the real face in your dreams, that's the rule."

“...... Kaoru, when did you become a secondary student? Eh, no, wait, it's my dream, right......? ”

Luo Tianshu, who had subconsciously entered the daily mode, suddenly reacted, he was dreaming now, and it was a lucid dream.

Generally speaking, things in dreams are embodied in things that already exist in one's memory, even if they are human.

Theoretically, no matter who appears in her dreams, her image and personality should be shaped according to her own cognitive level.

If you believe that the girl you agreed with is Kaoru, then how can there be such a "vague" conversation, and even the other party denies her words?

Could it be ......

Am I schizophrenic?

"Strange, am I not dreaming?"

"Huh-"

The girl was surprised:

"You actually know that you are dreaming, this is really a rare state."

"Nonsense, is there any other possibility than dreaming what I look like now?"

Luo Tianshu complained angrily, then was stunned, and then slapped himself without hesitation.

Damn, I'm talking to my subconscious again!

Luo Tianshu is really depressed now.

Although I know that I am dreaming, I can't wake up anyway, and, the strangest thing is that this guy in front of me doesn't look like his subconscious!

“...... Hey, Kaoru. ”

"It's all said, I'm not called Kaoru."

“...... Is my subconscious self-will so strong? ”

Luo Tianshu still couldn't understand the situation in front of him, in his heart, the formula of "Kaoru = Agreed Girl" had already been established, but the girl in front of him kept denying this fact.

If it's not that you're insane, it's ...... Am I mistaken?

"Hey, I say, where is this?"

"Here?"

The girl was stunned, and then said:

"My family."

"You live in my dreams?"

"Are you stupid, of course I'm talking about this tree!"

“...... I was actually scolded by my own subconscious? Is it so avant-garde? ”

"Hey, Lo! Don't give me a strange name! ”

“......”

There's something strange there.

After another silence, the sense of disobedience in Luo Tianshu's heart became stronger and stronger, lucid dreams and the like, he had done it a few times before, in contrast, now he even had a feeling that he was not dreaming.

Because anyway, this in front of you, the subconscious? Well, let's call her subconscious for now, her personality is too distinct, and it's completely different from the Kaoru I remember.

It's not even like anyone I know.

Luo Tianshu clearly remembered where this was, looking up at the bright sunshine and flower rain, and looking down at a strange and familiar girl, so he was sure that he could never be in reality now.

But if it's a dream......

Isn't she really Kaoru?

"Well, you...... What exactly is your name? ”

"You forgot my name?"

The girl's expression seemed to be surprised, and just when Luo Tianshu thought that she was going to shoot a mouth cannon at herself for her girlish heart, she was suddenly stunned.

"Ah, speaking of which, it looks like I've never told you my name."

“......”

Sure, this guy is definitely not my subconscious!

Because...... How could my subconscious mind be so two!

“...... So, who the hell are you? ”

Anyway, in a dream, Luo Tianshu had so many scruples, so he just sat on the ground, held his chin and asked impatiently:

"I don't remember seeing you anywhere, and I don't think I imagined you."

"It's so quick to accept."

Seeing that Luo Tianshu actually admitted the reality in less than five minutes, the girl's voice was a little surprised:

"I thought you'd have to grind a little longer."

"Hehe, almost, I always feel like if I don't sleep in my own house, I'll dream of some weird guys."

Luo Tianshu smiled indifferently.

"Last time I dreamed of a super stinky guy who talked to me with a 'I am God' expression and said that my wish could be granted, although it seemed to come true in the end."

"Eh, have you ever seen anyone like that? Sounds amazing. ”

"Perhaps."

Although he knew that talking to the person in his dream was tantamount to talking to the air, perhaps it was because he knew that this person was the existence in his dream that he was able to talk to him so casually.

"By the way, you just said that this is your home, what kind of setting is this?"

"Settings...... You're babbling again. ”

Speechless by Luo Tianshu's strange language, the girl gave him a blank look, and then slowly approached the trunk of the giant tree and stretched out her hand to gently stroke it:

"I'm not kidding you, this is my home."

"Here?"

Luo Tianshu looked at her amusementively and asked rhetorically:

"It's a tree, where do you live? Up or under the tree? ”

This was a joke by Luo Tianshu, who knew that the girl actually answered him seriously.

"Under the tree."

The girl's sad and joyless voice attracted Luo Tianshu's attention, and it was only at this time that Luo Tianshu realized that the girl was wearing a kimono.

The color is a little plain, and this tone is a little different from her current age.

I saw the girl slowly squatting down, and the hand stroking the trunk of the tree also slipped little by little on the ground from under the tree, and there was a distressing taste in the words she spoke.

"I've been sleeping here, since a long time ago."

"Sleeping under the crape myrtle tree? What is this interest? ”

"It's not crape myrtle, it's a cherry blossom tree."

"Don't come, I moved this tree!"

"That's not right."

once again denied Luo Tianshu's words, and the girl's tone was full of indescribable complexity.

"First of all, it's a cherry blossom tree, and secondly, you didn't move it here, and if you want to talk about it, it's still stolen......"

“...... Never mind. ”

Listening to the girl's unrelenting explanation, Luo Tianshu took the initiative to back down, not because he felt that what she said was very reasonable, but-

Make no mistake! What do I call the person in my dream?

"Oh yes, you just said ...... sleep? Hey, isn't this just dead? Are you an undead? ”

Probably thinking that something was wrong with the atmosphere, Luo Tianshu tried to make a joke, but the girl laughed after hearing it, she smiled a little bitterly and a little lonely.

"yes, I'm dead, but I'm not an undead here, if I have to-"

The girl turned her head and showed a shallow smile at Luo Tianshu:

"I'm just living here, just a memory."
