I Became an Academy Heroine Stalker

115 – Reverse Dream – 3

#

It was a series of happy days.

Days where we sleep with our loved ones, wake up together, and share our daily lives.

I was so happy and touched that I wondered if I could be this happy.

It may have been several days.

I was just relaxing in the flowing stream and receiving the happiness that Taejin and her daughter fed me.

“Ah! “Ahh!”

“That’s Na~B!”

“Ah!”

Is family really like this?

Lesha, who quickly became friends with her daughter, said this while pointing to the butterflies fluttering on her mat.

A baby who cannot pronounce sounds but only imitates sounds with his cute mouth.

A house built on a low hill, a large tree, a mat spread out beneath it, and even a baby sitting on it and cooing.

If she were to paint happiness as a landscape, wouldn’t it be just like the picture she has now, she thought, leaning back in her chair and looking around in silence.

These are peaceful days with no blemishes, and fragrant days without any blemishes.

Of course, there were still questions about how this happiness began, but the dozens of question marks that appeared in Lesha’s mind were being erased one by one.

Unbeknownst to her.

The boundary between fantasy and reality is collapsing.

I vaguely feel it, but the constant barrage of happiness interferes with rational thinking and makes me chase only the candy in front of me.

“Honey.”

“Oh, thank you.”

Taejin sat down on the picnic chair next to her and handed her a drink.

It was an ordinary herbal tea, but after the happiness began, everything tasted sweet.

“Um, is it because my honey is riding it? “Even the herbal tea smells sweet?”

Lesha takes a sip of tea, leans on Taejin’s shoulder, and watches her daughter chasing butterflies on her mat.

Her daughter smiled happily as she twitched her swollen buttocks due to her diaper.

But.

“Hmm, honey, the top of my head smells sweet too?”

Due to Taejin’s prank, she had to hastily remove her head from where it was resting on her shoulder.

“What, what? Oh, I washed her hair this morning… ?! “Do you smell it?”

Lesha covers the top of her head with her red face.

Seeing her embarrassed appearance, Taejin chuckled and pinched her cheek.

“Puhup. I’m kidding. Are you still that shy? You’ve been married for four years?”

“Sa… “Four years?”

“Okay then. Today is exactly the 1,406th day.”

“Ah…. I see Time really flies.”

“It’s fast. “It’s already been 7 years since mana disappeared along with the illusion.”

“Ah.”

I see.

As expected, the mana has disappeared.

So it became an ordinary world, and we became ordinary humans.

Taejin lifted her right hand, which was wrapping around Lesha’s waist, and stroked her Lesha’s head.

This was where her horn was.

“And these cute horns.”

He stuttered, this time stroking the upper part of her buttocks.

“It’s been 7 years since the s*xy tail disappeared.”

Taejin says

Proudly.

Lesha was able to realize that.

As her mana disappeared, her mana characteristic disappeared.

She said that she was originally human, and her mana caused partial mutations in her.

Not knowing that this fantasy world is a space created by his own wishes, and that all the stories Taejin tells are ultimately rationalizations told by ‘himself’ to ‘himself’ and the cornerstone of breaking down the boundary between reality and fantasy.

Based on Taejin’s story, Lesha begins to believe that this place is real.

You hear what you want to hear.

Watch what you want to see.

Achieving what you want.

A dream-like reality is beginning.

And that meant that, without one knowing it, an eternal hibernation from which one could not wake up was beginning.

“Good….”

Under the warm sunlight, I closed my eyes as I watched my daughter toddling around on the grass.

Everything was a perfect day.

‘Here…’ Is this a world created by Lesha’s fantasy?’

I arrived at a city where everything had stopped, as if it had come to a temporary halt. I don’t know how it got there.

Just as Yura said, I fell asleep with a chipped nerve connection wire attached to her temple and a needle inserted into her blood vessel, and when I opened my eyes, I was here.

Shop owners are stopping while organizing their shelves, and people crossing the crosswalk are also stopping in an awkward manner.

The birds sitting on the tree are frozen, and the cat walking on the wall is also frozen.

A world that has stopped to the point that it can literally be called a ‘dead world’.

Perhaps this fantasy world is a place that moves according to the will of Lesha, the owner, so it seemed that the place that was out of Lesha’s will stopped like this.

I am moving alone in a world that has stopped.

‘It’s so creepy.’

The overall color was a bright pastel tone that matched Lesha, but it gave me the illusion that I was in a horror movie.

First of all.

‘I don’t have time.’

I walked quickly.

I had to hurry and find where Lesha was.

Unfortunately, there is no mana current here [Go! It was also impossible to use the [Eummongma] Skill.

The survival rate of Kelkaton’s poison changes over time, and it is said that the survival rate approaches 0% after 15 days after being poisoned.

Even though you know it is an illusion, you will never be able to escape from that sweet illusion.

Because of the time constraints, Yura’s improvised machine did not guarantee a long time due to her poor quality, and after about 12 hours, the nerve connection with Lesha would be cut off.

Ten days have already passed.

Lesha’s fantasy would have become more solid as the time she had wasted, so she was in a hurry.

ㅡCrash.

She ran through the city until her feet were on fire.

Since the scenery of our house is similar to that of Seoul, the capital, we tried to find the house by following the road, but unfortunately we could not find it.

“Ha, ha… ! Lesha-!! “Answer me when you hear me-!!!”

I screamed at the top of my voice, but I couldn’t even hear an echo.

It was not easy to find traces of Lesha in a world that had stopped.

Because I couldn’t figure out what kind of work, daily life, or future was happening in this world.

The good news is that the background of this world is not ‘Drogpia’.

In other words, Lesha’s sweetest dream is to return to Earth as promised to me, and there is a high possibility that she will be living her life here after her return.

‘A place that Lesha would like…’ .’

This is a world that Lesha, drunk with her poison, created based on her instincts.

Since Lesha is a place that contains her ideal world, her residence must also be a place that reflects her taste in Lesha….

‘Ah.’

The footsteps that were running in all directions around the city suddenly stopped.

I had heard about the scenery of Drogpia.

It used to be modernized as it gradually accepted the modern civilization of the earth, but there was still a primeval forest scene, and Lesha liked that scenery.

That’s right.

You must have instinctively thought of a place where you can enjoy the scenery rather than such a sharp city area.

As I looked around, I saw a small house built on a low hill.

A hill filled with fresh grass and a large tree providing cool shade.

The house built at the top had a simple yet cute exterior that exuded a girlish sensibility.

‘… ‘There it is!’

I started running towards that place again.

#

‘Huh….’

About 2 hours left now.

This is only a rough estimate of the time, and we cannot guarantee how long the machine will last, so 2 hours may turn into 2 minutes.

So, without any delay, I immediately knocked on the door.

ㅡThump thump!

Please stay.

If Lesha is not here, the situation will spiral into despair.

Luckily.

《Who are you?》

Lesha’s lively voice was heard through the door.

While she breathes a sigh of relief, tension builds.

There was no absolute way to shatter this illusion.

She arrived here simply with the sole intention of saving Lesha.

Furthermore, the ten days would have solidified Lesha’s fantasy.

I’m sure you’ve all accepted this fantasy as reality by now.

I can only hope that the illusion will be shattered just by facing the truth.

“It’s me.”

《Honey?》

… Honey.

In other words, this is a happy ending after the successful forced return to Earth from Drogpia.

Calling you honey, that happy ending must mean ‘marriage’.

Suddenly, a sigh ran down her nostrils.

The fact that Lesha’s sweetest dream deals with the story after her forced return means that it contains anxiety and worry due to the uncertain possibility of her return.

Even in her dreams, she is forgetting that uncertain possibility.

It was pitiful.

Lesha is desperately hoping for a happy ending with me, Lesha is unable to refuse this happy ending, and is living in a happy ending without knowing that she is poisoned and dying.

I felt sorry.

ㅡKwak.

The door was opened.

I saw Lesha.

She has a happy smile.

That happy smile showed the only truth in this place full of lies.

“Honey? What are you doing at this time? Did you finish work early?”

Lesha asked me calmly.

It looked so natural that even I could confuse fantasy with reality.

However, Lesha’s appearance with her goat’s horns, tail, and heart pupils missing makes us realize that this place is an illusion.

I know it wasn’t polymorph.

Because it’s an illusion without mana.

That’s why I felt sad.

The sight of Lesha living as a human being like me, even in her fantasy, brought me indescribable sadness.

I was about to burst into tears.

She feels so sorry for Lesha, who imagined the things she wanted to achieve as illusions. She feels so sorry for Lesha, who knew that it was her fantasy but could not break it. She feels so sorry for Lesha, who now believes that fantasy to be reality…

I felt like crying.

“Hey, honey… ? What’s the matter… ?”

But I tried to hold back my tears.

I had to break this illusion for Lesha’s sake, and I knew that I was the only one who could do that, so I withheld my sadness.

And.

ㅡ Wow!

Instead of telling the truth through his mouth, he hugged Lesha tightly.

“… !”

I wanted to caress you.

I wanted to keep this slender body in my arms and support it.

This space is not a fantasy, it is our future that will surely happen.

He said he would build a house on the hill and wait for his return.

With her true heart, she hugged Lesha even more tightly and closed her eyes.

After that.

“… “Now let’s go home.”

A magical miracle began to occur.

“Tae… Taejin… ?”
