The comments section all think I'm a really good person.

Saki Koizumi has spent the entire night thinking about this, but she still hasn't come up with any clues.

She turned her gaze to Kita Kirihara, who was humming a song while washing dishes in the kitchen. Watching his back, she pursed her lips slightly, revealing a somewhat stubborn expression.

To be honest, from Koizumi Saki's perspective, concealing such important information for so long was already selfish.

She should have stood on the side of righteousness, and regardless of whether the person who could suppress the riotous power was her lover, she should have told the truth.

but……

She rarely had the opportunity to protect A-Yuan.

Even if it's just for a little while, let her be a despicable and selfish child who only wants to put the treasure in the box.

Koizumi Saki thought to herself, "That's what I'm thinking."

Give her a little more time to come up with the best solution to ensure A-Yuan's interests.

P.S.: I remember now!

I was just too lazy to think of a name, so I used the surname of the person in the banner, "Koizumi," and after writing for a while, it felt strangely familiar.

I went to have breakfast today and passed by a shop.

I looked up and saw the sign read "Xiaoquan Soy Milk".

I finally understand what this vague sense of unease was all about!

good night!

I'd like to have breakfast at Koizumi Soy Milk tomorrow morning.

34. Shiori Hachiya: ...I'm sorry.

Shiori Hachiya can only achieve a deep sleep without any tasks to perform when she falls asleep naturally and does not use her abilities.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that since I awakened my abilities seven years ago, I haven't had a good night's sleep.

She is known as the "Dream Weaver" because she possesses the ability to enter other people's dreams and easily alter their core mental state. In fact, her abilities are not limited to this, but she has not developed them to their full potential simply to limit herself.

By infiltrating into someone's subconscious, one can completely change a person with just a little modification and suggestion.

Similarly, you can easily banish nightmares that invade your dreams with just a few taps on your finger.

At first, Shiori Hachiya just thought it was fun to do.

The first dream she entered was that of her roommate. The first time she entered a dream, she always found it difficult to adapt to the logic within the dream, feeling dizzy and being led along by it.

It was a dream filled with the aroma of desserts, but one that one could never taste.

Shiori Hachiya didn't know if it could be considered a nightmare, but from her own perspective, she felt that being able to smell something but not be able to eat it was extremely painful.

So, on a whim, she filled the other person's dream with her favorite dessert—natto cake.

She didn't know if her roommate was happy or not, but she herself was quite happy.

During that time, she had just mastered her abilities and would wander into other people's dreams, laughing and making a complete mess of everything.

A bathtub full of caterpillars will materialize in the dreams of a stupid agent, and a haunted house will be renovated in the dreams of the guy who speaks ill of him. In short, revenge is taken at night, which is quite enjoyable.

Later, she discovered that monsters could be born from people's dreams.

Shiori Hachiya calls it a nightmare, which is actually a type of calamity entity. Its form is quite distorted, and it can freely transform into the image that people fear most in their hearts, stimulating the growth of negative emotions within.

After the rift in the void opened, more and more monsters were born from people's nightmares.

She originally thought that someone else would take care of these things sooner or later.

After all, haven't there been quite a few guys who have awakened their abilities and been called heroes?

Therefore, she did not take the appearance of the Nightmare Calamity seriously at first.

If we encounter it, we'll just go around it.

Moving around in dreams is quite energy-consuming.

She once tried it and found that if she spent the whole night wandering in other people's dreams, it was almost the same as not getting any rest, and she would be drowsy and listless for the rest of the day.

Her daytime classes and schedule were already busy enough, and as a child star, she was quite popular at the time, with work invitations pouring in.

She had no desire to become a hero, and acquiring this ability was purely accidental.

If she had to say something, she would rather continue performing on stage than wander through other people's dreams all night long as a night watchman.

After a brief attempt, Shiori Hachiya put the nightmare out of her mind for the time being and focused on her work and life.

However, not long after, she discovered that the number of nightmares was increasing at an unusual rate.

At that time, she had surgery for vocal cord nodules and rested in the hospital for two days after the surgery.

The child in the next ward cried almost all night, keeping her awake as well.

The doctor couldn't find the cause, and the parents didn't care. Frustrated, she decided to go into the child's dream, hoping to soothe him a little through the dream.

So she entered the child's dream.

That was a very depressing nightmare.

The emaciated child was tightly bound to the bed with ropes. The ceiling and walls were covered with dense hair and eyeballs, blinking, their sticky and eerie gazes sweeping over the child. Countless pale hands also reached out from under the bed, waving sharp nails and leaving bloody marks on the child's legs.

The child screamed, shook his head and cried, but couldn't make a sound.

Undoubtedly, it was a nightmare.

Moreover, it was filled with a nightmarish, fishy stench that almost made Shiori Hachiya vomit.

She tried to use her abilities to expel the nightmare, but her technique was rather clumsy. The nightmare sensed her intrusion and subconsciously accelerated its pace of eroding the child.

A great fire broke out in my dream.

The result was that, although she succeeded, she also failed.

She did banish the nightmare, but it also left her with irreversible aftereffects.

The next day, her agent came to pick her up from the hospital and casually mentioned, "The kid next door had a fever all night, and his mind seems a bit muddled now."

"..." Because she had just undergone vocal cord nodule surgery, Shiori Hachiya was unable to speak and simply listened quietly.

However, for some reason, his complexion became increasingly pale.

"It's really strange. He has some kind of scratches on his leg that have become infected and look really... Ugh, why am I telling you this?"

The manager was about to say something, but seeing Shiori Hachiya's less-than-pleasant expression, he took back his words.

The agent urged, "This has nothing to do with us, let's go. You have another show to do next, you don't have to say anything, at least cooperate and complete the game segment."

Shiori Hachiya nodded silently, but as she passed the next ward, she couldn't help but glance inside.

The mother, sitting by the bed, wept softly, while the child just smiled blankly.

Saliva dribbled from the corner of his mouth and then dripped onto the blanket.

Shiori Hachiya blinked slowly and sadly before being pulled away by her impatient manager.

The child was only seven years old.

That night, Shiori Hachiya groped her way into the child's dream once again.

This time, the dream was desolate, almost empty.

Gone are the cramped little rooms and the terrifying nightmares. Countless scattered fragments lie in the desert. The sky is blood red and chaotic, adorned with the broken core of the soul, its luster gone, like shards of glass beads scattered everywhere.

Shiori Hachiya thought for a long time about what she should do.

So she sat down beside the child and said softly:

I give you the clear night sky.

The oppressive, blood-red sky was instantly cleansed as if by clear water, and a galaxy appeared in the night sky, its starlight scattering across the barren land, illuminating the chaotic dreamscape.

It seemed a bit monotonous, so she thought for a moment and asked again:

What do you like to see growing on the ground? Flowers, grass, or trees? Imagine rolling around on a lawn covered in candy-green grass—

Tender shoots sprouted from the parched and cracked earth, and in just a few breaths, mountains rose from the ground, and rivers flowed past the two, carrying the sweet scent of candy. Butterflies and bees flitted through the forest, honey-like sap flowed from the trees, the soil on the ground smelled of chocolate, and even the clouds within reach looked like pure white cotton candy if plucked.

But the child did not react at all.

Shiori Hachiya tried her best to guess what kind of dream the child might like, whether it was adventuring with heroes from anime, splashing in the snow in winter, or many more beautiful scenes...

She wanted to give the child as much beauty as possible, hoping to weave a beautiful dream.

But the child still didn't react.

Shiori Hachiya spent the entire night, the clumsy novice dream weaver trying her best to please the now-dumb child, but received no response whatsoever.

【……sorry.】

In the end, all that could be left was this sentence, before he was banished from the dream in a sorry state.

On the second day of the program, Shiori Hachiya had two huge dark circles under her eyes and looked very unwell.

P.S.: Damn it! Why is my time disappearing without me even noticing!

Why doesn't my keyboard type automatically?

I'm sorry there's only one update today. The update on Sunday will be at midnight tonight because I want to boost my ranking on the click charts. I'll make up for it with a big update later qwq

I kowtow to everyone in apology:

Bang bang bang!

Feel sorry!

35. Banana coffee

The Silver Garden.

Yuki Uesugi was able to get out of bed and walk around, but the physical weakness caused by the power surge still prevented her from going too far from the room.

In this building called Starlight Pavilion, most of the time, the other guests are away from home and rarely have time to get together.

This is the conclusion that Yuki Uesugi drew from her observations over the past two days.

She was quite familiar with Tachibana Hibiki and Ooba Nana, who had saved her, but the "big family" that the two of them mentioned had not appeared in her sight much.
