After the meal, Imadegawa Jin took Narumi Yu to the hospital and left in the car. He sat next to Chisaka's hospital bed in Imadegawa and read an e-book on voice actor tips downloaded to his phone.

When Imadegawa Chisaka opened his eyes, he saw Narumi Yu beside him for the first time, and his tone was not good.

"Don't you have anything else to do but sit here wasting your time?"

"Because there are so many things to do, it's even more important to prioritize." Narumi Yu turns off the phone screen,

"My great angel is still lying in a hospital bed, and taking care of you is obviously the main thing."

"......" Imadegawa Chisaka stared at him for a while, as if lying down with peace of mind, and commanded him with his eyes closed,

"Your great angel doesn't need your care, I won't wait long for you after I get well."

"I'll go home when I'm discharged from the hospital." She said,

"I'll be transferring to Mikagehama High School, but I'm afraid you'll rarely see me."

"Can I go to you then?" Narumi Yu reined in his thoughts and couldn't wait to recommend himself,

"Not to mention what decision-making analysis is, being a bodyguard is still enough." Imadegawa Chisaka's voice sank,

"If you can't help me, and if you still get in the way, I'll kick you out."

"Yes." The inside of the ward fell silent as Narumi Yu's voice fell, and the cicadas chirped continuously outside the window. At last, the girl was relieved,

"You can come to me when I'm free. But instead of thinking about how you can help me, plan what you can do the rest of the time. The girl's words swept through Narumi Yu's heart, causing ripples, and he couldn't help but ask, "...... Won't you be too tired in this way? "Mother, your daughter seems to have chosen a different path than you expected.

"Then it's up to you." I don't know if Imadegawa Chisaka noticed it himself, he saw it clearly, and the girl's cheeks flushed slightly.

"Order! My angel! He held down his heartbeat, which was gradually starting to panic, suppressed his excitement, and responded.

Subsequently, he escaped from the ward. …… Instead of going straight back to the rental house, he went to the Sumida River and ran along the riverbank.

If you want to race against the wind on the riverside, you can run faster and faster. shouted out his excitement, causing passers-by to look at him.

In the end, I couldn't run anymore, so I sat down on the grass, watched the sun set, and watched the tears flow.

Like a fool. The girl never said what she wanted, but some words carried much more weight than love.

Imadegawa Chisaka is thinking about having him in the future, and that alone is enough for him to be satisfied. Even at this moment, Narumi Yu suddenly felt that there was only one person in his future, Chisaka Imadegawa, and it was enough.

………… The eldest lady's rehabilitation has reached the final stage before being discharged from the hospital, and Imadegawa Chisaka does not let him stay in the hospital all the time.

Visit the hospital once a week. The rest of the time is spent practicing voice acting skills and textbook knowledge to be learned in the next semester.

Squeak - squeak - a sultry sunny day, cicadas are indispensable. Annoyed by them, Narumi put on headphones and turned on the sound of the vocal technique practice material to the maximum, drowning out the sound of the cicadas.

Because there is no display of system experience points, he doesn't know what level his voice acting level is about.

But the level of singing has improved along with it. He even recorded a song for Yayoi Aki to listen to and received

"There is progress" is such a pertinent assessment. Ding-line prompt sound, mixed with the uninterrupted cicada chirping and tactful tone

"Ah~~" sounded. [Yu Fumimura: Narumi-san, there is an artist who wants to take over the comic of "Detective Kills Can't Die".

【Yu Fumimura: Named Nana Suzuki, she is a very capable painter. 【Narumi Yu: Wencun's editorial arrangement is good.

[Yu Fumimura: Then I'll let her draw the first draft first, and I'll hand it over to you as soon as I'm done.]

【Yu Narumi: Hmm.】 Narumi put down his phone and was about to turn on the audio, when he made a movement in his hand.

"......" [Narumi Yu: Wait a minute...... [......] ...... Thirty minutes later, Narumi Yu walked into the editorial office of Haruba Society.

"I'm Nana Suzuki, and we're meeting for the first time...... Oh~ It shouldn't be the first time we've met, please advise, Mr. Yu Murakami. A pretty girl dressed fashionably with a ball on the side of her head greeted him with a smile.

Maroon eyes, nail art on the hand, index finger star, middle finger moon.

"Please advise me......" is really as he thought, it is the same Nana Suzuki he saw in a dream.

In addition to him and Imadegawa Chisaka, the fifth

People who "don't belong to that dream".

"You ...... Acquaintance before? Wen Mura Yu on the side couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

"One day I happened to meet on the road, and I just knew the other person's name." Narumi came back to his senses and explained casually.

"Supermarket discount event, rock-paper-scissors competition, we are all contestants, he was eliminated by me in the first round, and he still has a mold remover in his hand." Nana Suzuki adds a whole story to his casual nonsense excuse.

"That's ...... Haha, that's really fateful. ”

After ......a brief chat with the editorial office, Narumi Yu and Nana Suzuki walked out of the Haruba Club and sat down at a café nearby.

Nana Suzuki ordered a muffin and a glass of Ferry. Yu Narumi casually asked for a latte.

"I didn't expect Mr. Murakami to be really like me, a person who 'entered a dream'......" Nana Suzuki sighed with a heart,

"When I saw a similar setting in "The Heartbeat of a Dream Girl", I was still wondering if it would be a coincidence." The girl took a sip of the milk foam on the top of Furui Bai,

"But if Mr. Murakami is an ordinary passerby like 'NPC', it should still be "The Demon King and the Angel" that is released now." As the words fell, Nana Suzuki looked like she was begging for praise, as if she was proud of her perfect reasoning.

"So, has Suzuki-san found anyone else who 'entered into a dream'?"

"Yu Murakami-sensei is the first ......"

"Just call me Narumi, my real name is Narumi Yu."

"Where's Narumi San?"

"Nope." Narumi Yu thought about it and didn't tell the Imadegawa Chisaka women. I remember that in the dream, the guy sitting across from him tried to pursue him, or broke off contact as soon as possible.

"It's a pity ......" Nana Suzuki cut the muffin with a knife and gave half of it to Narumi Yu,

"What a light unfolding, and only one person can be found...... I can't finish the muffins. "Why do you order it if you can't finish eating?

Narumi couldn't understand it, but took the plate anyway. Nana Suzuki slowly enjoyed the muffins and asked him, "What is the price of Narumi-san's escape from the dream?" ”

"The price?" He was stunned.

"yes, if you don't give up something, won't you be able to get out of your dreams?" Nana Suzuki wondered, and then boasted,

"For example, I was forced to give up my dream of becoming the richest man in the world."

"That's ......" After listening to the girl's explanation, he came back to his senses, and spent a full five minutes summing up a word,

"Be self-righteous."

"Huh? The price is becoming self-righteous? ”

"The price is to stop being self-righteous." Next, it was Nana Suzuki's turn to take five minutes to understand what Narumi Yuu was saying

What does "cost" mean?

"Forget it...... I don't understand. The girl shook her head and gave up. The two added line, and finally chatted about the caricature of "Detective Can't Die".

The coffee bottomed out, and the temporary afternoon tea ended. Nana Suzuki took the muffin in full, and only let Yu Narumi pay for the latte.

After the girl left, Narumi Yu ordered another cup of coffee and continued to sit in the window seat of the café, thinking about whether he woke up from his dream and paid the price, or let go of his obsession...... Until dusk, I didn't get an answer.
