| Chapter 27 | |
| Yanagi Hanabusa |
… How mean. |
| Yuma Mochizuki |
Something’s… strange. |
| Senri Nito |
Yeah… when I watched Yumapi’s live, it was fun, but… somehow, this live… |
| Yuma Mochizuki |
It’s giving me… a really bad feeling. |
| Takaomi Shishimaru |
I’m… at… my limit…. gh… |
|
Clutching a hand over his mouth, Shishimaru looked like he could no longer bear it, upper body doubled over. | |
| Senri Nito |
Wah!? H—Hey, are you okay?! |
| Yosuke Kiritani |
A—h. This won’t do. |
| Yanagi Hanabusa |
We’ll have to suspend the live. |
| Takaomi Shishimaru |
[heaves]… Guh… again… |
| Senri Nito |
Uwaaaah! Bag! Someone get a plastic bag! |
|
As if replying to his screams, a bunch of bags began to fall from the ceiling. Nito grabbed one and brought it to Shishimaru’s mouth as he rubbed his back. | |
| Yosuke Kiritani |
Oi, Mikekado. That’s enough. |
|
Mikekado-senpai removed the Dream Mic, and in an intense flash of warped, black-and-white light, returned to normal in an instant. | |
| Shion Mikekado |
A~ah. So it broke down. |
| Touji Harimiya |
Kh… |
|
Beside the composed countenance of Mikekado-senpai, Harimiya was on his knees with his head hanging. | |
| Yuma Mochizuki |
Harimiya…! |
| Shion Mikekado |
Aw, you came to comfort him? Then I’ll leave the rest to you. |
|
Like a butterfly gently fluttering away, she disappeared. In total contrast to that Senpai, Harimiya appeared as though he might drown in suffering. | |
| Yuma Mochizuki |
Harimiya… are you okay? |
| Touji Harimiya |
… I… Just now… There’s no way… Did… Did I… fail? |
| Yuma Mochizuki |
… I don’t know. But they called for a suspension. |
| Touji Harimiya |
That can’t be… I left something… unfinished…? Th—That’s a lie… It can’t be… Someone say it’s all a dream—————!!!! |
 | |
| Yanagi Hanabusa |
That’s right. It’s all a dream. |
|
……… | |
| Location Change: Infirmary | |
| Yuma & Senri |
Dreamsickness? |
| Yosuke Kiritani |
Yeah. What brought down Shishimaru was, without a doubt, dreamsickness. |
|
— The school infirmary. Seeming extremely bothered, Sensei laid a cold pack diagonally on the deeply sleeping Shishimaru’s forehead. | |
| Senri Nito |
What exactly is it, this… dreamsickness? |
| Yosuke Kiritani |
Just like getting sick from alcohol or amusement park rides, there are people whose physical condition crumble easily when they’re inside of another person’s dream. It especially didn’t help this time that Harimiya and Mikekado’s live failed to achieve Unison and became a Nightmare. |
| Senri Nito |
So that’s it… that’s why even after Yumapi’s live, this guy seemed to not be doing so hot… |
| Yuma Mochizuki |
Even after waking up from the dream, you can still be laid up in bed like this… |
| Yosuke Kiritani |
You guys should understand. We’ve all had times where we’ve woken up from a bad dream and felt off the rest of the day. It’s like that. |
| Senri Nito |
Um, I just want to confirm, but… even if someone is predisposed to dreamsickness, will they be okay inside of their own dream? |
| Yosuke Kiritani |
I mean, as long as their Unison goes smoothly. If not, there’ll immediately be a backlash, and the whole thing will fall apart. |
| Senri Nito |
Seriously… Somehow I feel like this is a bad omen… |
| Yosuke Kiritani |
At any rate, orientation’s over. Go back to your room, brush your teeth, and get some shut-eye. |
| Location Change: Timeskip | |
| Senri Nito |
Well, Yumapi. I’m in the Black dorm, so… |
| Yuma Mochizuki |
Right. Good night. |
| Senri Nito |
Hmmmmmmm…? |
|
Not actually making an effort to leave, Nito began staring intently at my face. | |
| Yuma Mochizuki |
… What? |
| Senri Nito |
Ah, nothing, it’s just… I was thinking, “Wow, when he wakes up from the dream, he goes back to how he was, huh~” |
| Yuma Mochizuki |
Was I… really that different? |
| Senri Nito |
Like another person entirely! When you were in the Dream Live, Yumapi, you were sparkling. Your aura was on par with Hanabusa-senpai’s! |
| Yuma Mochizuki |
Eh… you mean I gave off the vibe of a shallow womanizer? |
| Senri Nito |
N-No, that’s not what I’m saying. Jeez, Yumapi, your image of your senpai is pretty harsh… |
| Yuma Mochizuki |
I’m just calling it like I see it. |
| Senri Nito |
I guess it is No-Sense Knife-senpai we’re talking about here… but. |
 | |
|
Suddenly, Nito’s hand drew close to my eyes, and swiftly lifted my bangs. | |
| Yuma Mochizuki |
! … What are you doing? |
| Senri Nito |
Yup. Super handsome. I’m not really the type to judge based on outward appearance, but… I wonder what would happen if we cleaned you up a little, like the way you looked in the dream? |
| Yuma Mochizuki |
… I’m not the type who could stand out like that. |
| Senri Nito |
No? But Yumapi, when you were singing, you were like, super cool. |
| Yuma Mochizuki |
…… |
| Senri Nito |
Well, just think on it, okay? I’m turning in. Night! |
|
Seeing off Nito as he left with airy footsteps, I thought back on what had happened in the dream. Indeed, when I close my eyes, I can feel the pure ecstasy I felt at that time gradually welling up in my chest. | |
| Yuma Mochizuki |
(I wonder if I was… really having fun…?) |
|
… Somehow it just doesn’t feel right. I wouldn’t say that it wasn’t “fun”, but… I feel like that’s slightly off. Still unable to find the answer, I turned toward my own dorm and began to walk off. | |
