When Miku came over to ask Naga to print something, he finally asked the question he should have asked a long time ago.
"By the way, why didn't that girl named Cai Mei come to work in the end?" She really wanted this job, and she even got drunk celebrating it... Naga quickly shook his head. Oh no, that dream was too realistic for him to understand.
"Sleepy...can't wake up?"
"Yes, it's in a nearby hospital. I even went to see it at noon." Miku, full of curiosity, smiled smugly. "The whole family was crying and sobbing. The nurse said it was the strangest illness she had ever seen. There was no damage or abnormality in any part of the patient's body or organs. She was just asleep. But even with electroconvulsive therapy, they couldn't wake her up."
Miku turned her dark, bright eyes, bit her lip, and added, "It's like... being unable to get out of a dream world."
Naga shuddered almost imperceptibly, wondering if it was because he had killed her in his dream that she could never wake up again? If that were the case, he had practically devoured someone else's entire dream.
The word "Dream Eater" suddenly flashed through my mind—a word both strange and familiar. So… I'd unknowingly become a monster like a dream eater?
After get off work, without even bothering to pick a potential girlfriend from among the white-collar women around her and launch an offensive, Naga hurriedly left the office building and headed straight for the address she had found out from Miku.
Seeing Nami in person might help him understand something. With that thought in mind, Naga stood outside the hospital room. To the two middle-aged parents who looked heartbroken and exhausted, he could only lie and say that he was Nami's friend, trying hard to hide the guilt that was growing in his heart.
Looking down from the bedside, Nami's clean sleeping face was completely different from the one I had seen in my dream last night, carrying an unusual sense of purity.
With just one glance, he confirmed one fact in his heart. Nami had been eaten by him, and in the most cruel way imaginable, leaving not a single fragment of her soul. The Nami in reality was dead…
Leaving the hospital, the guilt vanished, replaced by an overwhelming sense of excitement in Naga. He had finally confirmed that he possessed the ability to dominate another world within his dreams, and that this influence could even extend into reality.
That's fantastic! As long as he doesn't go too far in his dreams, it becomes possible for him to fulfill any wish in his dreams.
He didn't quite understand this ability yet, and couldn't think of anything else he could use it for besides satisfying his sexual desires. After all, it was a dream; even if he spent lavishly on it, it would all be for nothing when he woke up. He could kill his enemies in his dreams, but unfortunately, Naga couldn't think of any enemies he would want to go to such lengths with.
Well...we'll talk about it later. Anyway, Naga is now really looking forward to the dreams she'll have tonight.
As he passed the library in front of the company, he saw Yui Tabe again.
The library seemed to be closing soon. Petite Yui, carrying a thick book, was slowly walking along the roadside, still wearing yesterday's sailor uniform. She was rather thin; from the side, her waist looked as if it would break if you hugged her tightly. Her well-developed breasts were high and full, and her hips had curves that could support the pleated skirt, making her slender waist even more noticeable.
She was reading a book as she walked. Naga was a little curious; judging by her appearance, she must have been nearsighted for a long time, so she probably wore contact lenses.
Her skin was so white it didn't seem like that of an East Asian; it was bright and had a crystalline quality, giving Naga the urge to grab her arm and suck on it until it left red marks.
He was only a step and a half away from her, almost walking side by side. Smelling the pure fragrance of the girl's flowing hair, Naga's heart began to race, and his blood rushed to his face. If, if he were to strike up a conversation, would he be seen as a weirdo?
Actually, Yui's appearance is somewhat inferior to Matsushima Kae's; she's probably on par with Shimokawa Miku in terms of beauty. But Naga just couldn't help but become infatuated with her quiet and gentle appearance.
He lagged slightly behind, and beneath his flowing hair, glimpses of Ai's smooth, fair neck would occasionally flash by. Staring at that jade-like skin, he suddenly felt a surge of tension.
Actually, compared to April 5th, his first day at work, wasn't April 4th, the day he first met Yui, more memorable? Naga felt somewhat helpless about his naive thoughts. It seemed that this was what they called love at first sight, not as impossible as he had imagined before.
"Um... is there something you need? You've been following me since we came out of the library. This is the girls' dormitory. You're not trying to say you're the new administrator, are you?" The clear and gentle voice brought Naga back to reality.
He looked up and realized that he had followed Yui all the way to the ground floor of a girls' dormitory.
Oh my god! He'll definitely be seen as a stalker or a pervert! Naga's face flushed crimson, his mind reeling, and he stammered, "No...no, I...I...I am..."
"I'm such an idiot!" Naga cried out in his heart, unable to think of any reason to explain. All his beautiful fantasies shattered into glass shards after this embarrassing scene, scattering across his heavy heart.
