“No, what are you doing here?”

“Huh? Um, uh… Do you have a headache?”

‘Right now, right now, there’s no one, that’s the rule!’

‘No, I don’t know the rules, but what is that!!’

What are you talking about all of a sudden?

Irusia’s eyes are spinning.

Seed is even more clueless.

“Ah, that, right, no, that’s not it, huh!”

“Huh, huh?”

‘Ahem. Miss Irushia, this is the infirmary bed… whisper whisper.’

Even if I say ‘whisper whisper’ in my mind, you won’t understand, no, why does it feel like I understand this…!!

“Wow, whoa, no wait that’s not what I meant, no way that’s not true I don’t know I don’t know I don’t know Aaaah, it’s a pillow fight Aaaah!!!!! ”

It was as if Irusia’s head, which had been burning hot, had burst from overheating.

It went wild.

“Kyahaha, kyahahahaha, yahoo~!!”

Bang, bang, an exciting sound rang out.

What the hell is going on?

Seed was frozen and silently enduring Irusia’s merciless attacks.

“What are you doing, hurry up, you attack too!!”

Irushia puts a pillow in Seed’s hand.

My eyes are still spinning and spinning without any rest.

Well, maybe something like this would be good too.

This space where Irusia is smiling brightly.

Because everything looks dazzling.

It’s a pillow fight.

Seed tried to swing the pillow high, but then lowered his arm weakly.

I looked down at the pillow I was holding.

Even though it was a joke, even though it was a game, I couldn’t hit him.

The demon I wanted to kill so badly.

In fact, the person I wanted to save so badly.

What I thought was a deep-seated, burning desire for revenge was actually a twisted side of obsession and foolishness that I couldn’t seem to find.

Because I vaguely realized it now.

“Hurry up, hurry up!!”

The seed remained frozen.

I absolutely, absolutely cannot do it.

“Ugh… Woof!”

phut!

Irusia’s full swing hit Seed straight in the face.

ah.

“Haha, kkihahaha!”

Irusia feels this is the moment and continues to attack, targeting only the face with excitement and persistence.

Bang, bang, crack. Crack?

“Wow, this is exciting~!”

iced coffee.

“Take it, take it! Eight!”

Aaaah.

“Hahaha! Idiot, idiot~ Yab, yab! The medicine is working… Huh?”

Suddenly, as if something in my head had snapped.

“… Don’t look at it.”

“Huh, huh…?”

After that it was complete chaos.

“Ahahaha.”

“Hehehe, yay, you!”

Even Seed had a pure smile on his face.

The two of them roll around on the floor, jump from bed to bed, and run around innocently like children, without thinking about the consequences.

It was a lovely moment.

Let’s forget all the sad and painful things, all the scary and anxious things about the present situation, and just have fun together.

For Seed, this moment is also a return to the past, but it feels like he has returned to his childhood once again.

Everything in sight sparkles.

Yeah, that was good up until that point.

It can be said that it is a characteristic of children that when they play too hard, they do not know how to do things in moderation and always end up causing accidents.

Seed, who had risked his life to learn the art of the sword, applied it to this and started swinging the pillow around like crazy.

“Wow, this is crazy, this is crazy! What the?? Then me too… !”

Irusia responded by moving splendidly in the air with her confident wind attribute magic.

A few pillows were flying in the air. A loud noise that was hard to believe was coming from the pillows was constantly making noise.

The fact that nothing, not even the table or the drawer containing the medicine, was damaged was not a great coincidence, but rather the product of Seed’s desperate efforts.

“Gasp, haa. Surrender, okay?”

“Heh, heh, no, I will never do that… .”

Nevertheless, the outcome of this fierce battle was increasingly tilted toward Seed.

But the sweet devil’s voice.

‘Hey, if we modify this part of the recipe into a ring structure, the efficiency will increase several times, right?’

This might be able to turn the tables!

“Going, huh, whoaaahh …

squall.

A more sophisticated and refined magic that is several times more efficient.

But in the end, magic is not something that happens on paper, but something that happens in reality through the human body. In theory, there was no problem, but I lacked the sensory understanding to properly control it.

In other words, magic that was beyond Irusia’s control ran wild.

A powerful gust of wind burst out, breaking through the control.

Even Seed couldn’t do anything about this.

Medicine bottles break, and all kinds of colorful pills decorate the sky.

It’s a total mess.

My head suddenly became cold, as if I had been immersed in ice water.

What should we do? What should we do? How did we end up like this?

Yeah, I was going to talk about the weird voices in my head.

If you were to suddenly bring that up now and say, “A voice suddenly told me to change my drinking habits,” that would just sound like some ridiculous excuse!

What should I say, what should I do, let’s run away before anyone sees! Let’s run away!!

At that moment, Irushia, who was floating in the air after being blown away by the explosive wind, thought for a split second.

Seed’s thoughts were similar.

Let’s run away for now. Fortunately, there’s no one there.

Since we’re probably the only ones coming to the infirmary, let’s somehow try to make it seem like we don’t know anything and that it must be someone else’s doing. For now, let’s run away quickly.

If someone comes now, it’s all over!

uh?

Irusia is flying.

Seed reflexively moved his body and tried to catch Irushia who was being pushed by the exploding wind.

“Ugh, ugh!”

For the sake of Irusia’s honor, I will state that Irusia’s weight is quite light. Still, the weight and impact of one flying person was considerable.

Seed fell backwards while still holding Irusia.

“Haa, haa, haaa… .”

“Gasp, ha, haa… .”

Heavy breathing overlaps.

Our whole bodies are in contact. Soft body temperature.

Oh, a fresh and refreshing citrus scent.

‘Wow, wow, you can do it…!’

It was a distance where if I moved quickly enough, my lips would touch.

The two continued on, unable to move or say anything.

‘Okay, okay, now!!’

‘Huh? Huh?? Huh????’

Knock knock.

“Uh.”

The person who opened the door and appeared was a short girl.

Noctila Sarsberg, a second-year student.

I take a quick look around the infirmary.

The cold gaze and expressionless face haven’t changed one bit.

“Sorry.”

Calmly.

Knock again.

The door is closed.

“Wait a minute, senior!!!”

It seemed as if the screams could be faintly heard from beyond the door.

In search of the failed student who ran away.

I went to the classroom and saw that he had gone to the infirmary, so I just came to change the bandage on his arm.

What is it. …

It might be a bit of a cliche nickname, but my senior, who is known as the ‘Ice Princess’, blushed all the way to her ears and covered her cheeks with both hands.

“Senior, wait, wait, hey, stop! Wait!!!!!!!”

Ignoring the noises coming from behind him, he left the place with quick steps, still covering his face.

***

ha….

It was a hard day.

After that, the two of them chased after him diligently and used gestures to explain to him that it wasn’t what he thought it was. I don’t know if his senior believed him or not.

But that’s not the only thing you shouldn’t get caught for. In fact, the more difficult problem is that you’ve turned the infirmary into a mess.

At first, the senior firmly said that he would contact the good teacher.

Unable to resist the sight of Irusia’s sparkling eyes pleading earnestly, he covered his mouth as if he had no choice but to demand some kind of price.

that.

“Yum yum. Mmm. Delicious. Really. It’s better than I expected. Thank you, Irusia.”

“Really? Hahaha, thank goodness… There’s more here, so eat up! Should I make more?”

“Noctil, no, Senior Sarsberry~. Is there anything that is uncomfortable~?”

“Okay, you go ahead and do it.”

“Still, ah, by any chance, was that the reason you came to me in the first place… ”

“I don’t need you, so just disappear.”

“Yes, yes!”

Why me only?

Seed came out of Irusia’s dormitory room with a resentful expression on his face.

The senior, with his usual icy cold expression, gave Irusia a victory V.

What my senior initially requested was a glazed donut from the bakery on the corner of the street in front of the academy.

It is commonly referred to among students as simply ‘sugar donut’.

It’s an insanely sweet donut with a thick layer of sugar on the outside and the bread inside that is probably made of more sugar than flour, with granules of sugar crunching in your mouth.

I wondered who on earth would buy something like this, but the answer was nearby.

But when we all went there after school, the bakery was closed.

There, Irusia stepped forward and offered to make it herself. The senior accepted it obediently. This person seems to have a secret weakness for Irusia.

Anyway, that’s how the three of them ended up in Irusia’s dorm room. One of them was kicked out right away.

With his tiny mouth, he devours the lump of sugar that is difficult to eat even a single bite, munching on it as if he is closing his eyes.

I think there’s no need to worry about leaving the rest to Irusia.

Seed returned to his room.

Let’s give it a try.

If I were free to draw my sword, there was one thing I would try.

I lay on the bed, my eyes closed, holding the broken silver sword in my hand.

Somnium, a swordsmanship that means ‘dream’.

Its name isn’t just because it deflects attacks in an unrealistic way.

Somnium, a swordsmanship passed down from the elves, is taught through dreams.

Elves are naturally weak and have poor endurance. Instead, they are delicate and have a high affinity for magic, so they usually learn magic and do not handle swords. There are elf magicians, but there are no elf swordsmen.

The exception is this.

He pursues only the extreme of technique, making use of his unique agility and delicacy. Since it is of little use to train muscles due to the nature of the elf’s body, he teaches in dreams without moving his body directly.

I don’t have the strength to properly take the attack, so I just let it go.

Since he doesn’t have the stamina to fight for a long time, he uses his physical abilities to the limit to finish the fight quickly.

Such a strange swordsmanship is Somnium.

The fact that Seed was able to reach a level of swordsmanship that no one else had reached at a relatively young age was simply because he had spent a lot of time practicing.

Since the flow of time in dreams and reality is different, if you maximize it, you can practice for dozens of times more time.

In the dream world, the master who taught Sid how to use the sword every night is no longer there.

The ability to create and control a dream space using a sword was passed down to Cid, as it had been in previous generations.

Although he said he had no abilities, in fact, it was the only ability that Sid had, inherited from someone else. The miracle of dreaming a hundred days in one night, ‘Daydream’.

Now that I have seen the end of the sword, there is no point in continuing to train, but I will use the fact that it is a dream to try as many things as possible and find a breakthrough.

Fall asleep.

A snowy field so familiar, a scene from a dream.

however.

“… Huh?”

Seeing something he had never imagined, Sid realized belatedly that a single tear was shedding.
