The Dreamer Returns Again (Dream Returner)

Chapter 7- Child, King and Savior

--Ginou's POV--

(Earlier, on the King's office in Atalantes Royal Castle)

"..."

Igrid, Eyoulia... When will you guys finally wake up? It's already past 3 years or so. Not that I'm forcing you guys to wake up... I just, thought you know...? That am I gonna be there witnessing the moments of you two waking up.

"..."

Well, am I?

"..."

Igrid, just so you know, me sitting here in your precious chair and leaning my hands onto this grand table, is not my fancy. Especially since you had earned this place wholly, the role of a King. You had earned it through your dedication towards this Kingdom and its people.

"..."

You know, I can't be you. Me being chosen by the others as the most fitting one besides you just because I was already considered as the king of my race, the dragons, I had then realize it that, even as an ignorant as you and Robe, that unlike you, we are not clever enough. Even so, I'm just doing all of this for your, Eyoulia's, and to your beloved Kingdom's sake as your friend, as a favor, and as...

"Our savior."

"..."

Igrid, as well as your wife, Eyoulia... Since the first part of the war with Demonya, everything is not as easy as it was when we we're still together... Having fun while becoming stronger on adventures and expeditions, conquering our own fears and weaknesses together, witnessing each other being Seles on each of our own chosen path of magic prowess and expertise, are all nothing now but parts of our legacies then and so on.

"..."

These memories... I will, of course, cherish them forever.

"..."

I can't... maintain having this state of predicament forever you know? Even if we can be considered as ignorant and foolish as what the others have described us, even if we were too emotional to the point that things went the other way around, I still can't be you Igrid. I don't really think too much if I do want to be like you or not, because either way, a person can't really be someone no matter how hard they have tried except to just be their very own selves.

"..."

"..."

Saying all of that in my mind, there's one thing that haven't really change to me.

(Yawn...), Dawn or nightfall, it doesn't change the fact that I am now sleepy because of an excessive use of my precious and adorable mind.

(Yawn...), Not... that I'm... so smart... any... wa-

Suppose to be that my dear slumber will begin it's march, some annoying female cow have happened to come by and...

"Bang!!"

Slammed her way in without my permission!!

"..."

Ugh.

"Oh my, if it isn't our no-discipline of a Principal, making her way in into the King's office without even knocking the door? I suppose, this is a royal violation?"

Why is she here? You fool just ruined the first phase of a King's dear and adorable slumber...

"And...? So...? Why are you here again?"

"What the hell are you saying, Ginou? Of course I will be here in this specific day."

This, specific day? What does she me-

"Or are you just trying to say that you had forgotten the fact that today was when Igrid and Eyoulia saved all of our asses, as well as the very first day of their unknown kind of slumber?"

"..."

Oh. That. Well... Sorry Igrid and Eyoulia... that my mind is just like this...

"Ehem... What I meant to say is... Why are you here so early at the morning?"

"Ginou, the expedition my sister had taken part as one of the leaders towards the North side from the empire, was said to be successful. Our assembly as well as my sister Melitica, will be back after a few days."

"..."

"What?! Really?!"

What the hell?! So it really is successful huh?! I never would have thought that they can pass through Crudelan's Curse of the Sea!! Information said that something will grab the ships sailing on the beginning part of the Curse below and only some particles of the ships will be back afloat and remains after!!

If this is true, this means...

"Heh... I never expected for them to be back with such a good news... So? Have they found a specific type of magic that can regain someone's consciousness from having an eternal sleep?"

Of course Melitica would know this as well because this is the very reason we had taken part in these expeditions in the first place...

"Honestly. I came here early because I know that that brain of yours will function well only once a day, that's why I came here this early to make sure that you didn't use that brain of yours at this day yet."

Really? I used it already...

"Anyways, why don't you read this letter that was sent to me by a Corvus yesterday evening? Rather than me giving you answers like it is easy to deal with an ignorant i***t, why won't you know it yourself instead?"

"..."

This cow, how imprudent!!

Anyways, taking the letter swiftly from this imprudent cow, I then began to read the letter. And then saying...

"To my dear, sweet, adorable and cute sister."

"..."

Dear? Sweet? Adorable and cute? How about I replace your eyes with mine instead, Melitica?

"Yey! Our expedition was successful!! The part where Crululan's (It is suppose to be Crudelan's! Oh well,) curse on the sea though was really hard to endure!!"

Are they really twins? A being with pure wit yet imprudent and a being with pure nonsense and stupidity are suppose to be, the what-you-so called as "twins"?!

"But thinking about my dear sister Heredica, none of it couldn't break my bones!!"

...How squirmy and embarrassing is this for others none other than Heredica reading this. As I then looked at her, she really is embarrassed. Hiding her adorable face from me right now, I then felt pity for her.

"We also saw other living creatures with cool wings, having a form close to a human also!! They called themselves as the Scrululans!!"

Scrulu- what? What a weird name for a creature to be called...

Then,

"Heredica."

Oh, she became serious.

"The thing is, I'm actually crying while writing the things I need to write on this letter you know. So you may as well have realized it already after knowing it..."

Oh.

"That the expedition was really successful as you have read. But it is just for the whole empire, not for us... Anyways, huhu... "

"..."

...It should have been serious in this part, but she just ruined it.

"..."

"So? Ginou, as you had read in that letter, it is considered that we are unsuccessful. Because in the first place..."

Yeah I know. Of course I know, Heredica.

"So? South is next then? When's the next expedition of the empire towards there?"

This is too irritating...

Our empire which is on the east side of Helishore, the newly discovered North side, the impossible to be discovered South side due to some kind of unknown, invincible barrier, and lastly, those hellish beings calling themselves demons... The west side of Helishore, the empire Demonya that we are currently facing off against.

Since the first part of the war years ago, in the future, the start of the second part without one of our strongest, or may even be the strongest of the empire, will be very, very hard...

"What would the rulers of this kingdom themselves say about trying its best, with the other parts of the empire as well, on maintaining everything inside from having diversity if they would suddenly wake up right now?"

"..."

I then looked at Heredica, and her muttering some words that I can't hear... I should try to make it funny, hehe.

Heh... Not like we can view them waking up surprisingly on this day just because this handsome Dragon King said so because this was also the day they slept. If so, then why didn't they wake up on this day at the past 4 years? Having this as the fourth time if we think it about like that... But because of the mercy of the Dragon King, they will wake up toda-

Making fun of a cow just muttering some words with herself that I didn't hear, thinking about some words that didn't really came out of her mouth, something ridiculous then happened, not even expecting a thing about it. And...

"Bang!!!"

Someone slammed the door open.

And its...

"You are...? Eyoulia's caregiver right...? What's your name again...?"

"M-my roy-"

"Don't address me as a King if it's just us insiders."

"..."

"Si-sir... The queen..."

Hmmm...? "What about Eyoulia?"

"..."

Wait. Don't tell me...

"She woke up!!"

--i***t MC's POV... Again.--

Present time.

"..."

Supposedly, as what that Goddess have said to me... After passing out, I should be back right?

Right?!!

"Yeaaaaahhhhhhhhh Riiiighhhhhhhhttttt!!!"

"Then why am I still falling endlessly in this white void without even hitting a surfaaaaace?!!"

"Ahhhh!!!"

"Waaaattttt.....Daaaaaaaaa...Fuuuuuuuukkkkkkkkk....."

"And what the hell is this s**t falling beside meee?!! Youuu?!!! What the f**k are youuuu?!!!"

"Shut the hell up you shitty i***t. Don't talk to me while we're still falling, I can't understand a s**t on what you were saying yet."

This creature. It is like a small, dark blue dragon... But rather than being small, it is not... cute at all...

"Who cares if I'm not cute... Unlike some shitty, annoying fucker who always cried during his thousands of years of dreaming..."

"..."

H-huh?!

It can also read my mind?! And what does he mean my thousands of years of dreaming?! Don't tell me he wa-

"OF COURSE I'M THERE YOU s**t!!"

(You s**t!!)

(You s**t!!)

(You s**t!!)

"..."

What the hell that was loud, I didn't even expect that echoes can happen in here. How ridiculous... But really, how the f**k are you with me while I'm there at Earth and on those dreams?! Why can't I see you?! Why ca-

"Just wait. After here, we can be back to that world. Then, you will regain your memories in everything that had happened to you. And I will f*****g give you some sense!! You ask if why did I also suffer that s**t also? Just wait..."

"Just wait..."

Say what? It then looking at me seriously... I don't even know if it's giving me a killing intent or if it's just calm...

"..."

"10"

H-huh?

"9"

Wh-

"8"

"Why are you counting?!"

"7, this is your end."

"H-huh? End? You just said that we will be ba-"

"6"

Really...

"5"

Will I still have my consciousness? It was said that I will just regai-

"4"

"..."

"3"

I suppose...

"2"

Something will happen...?

"1"

Oh well.

"0"

"..."

"..."

And I passed out again...

--Ginou's POV--

(While running towards Igrid's room when he was still unconscious)

"I will be the first one to see Igrid, Heredica!"

"No it's me who will see Igrid first Ginou!"

"Do you want me to turn into a Dragon huh?!"

"Shut the hell up Ginou or I will blast you into pieces of Dragon meat!!"

Ugh. This cow!

"..."

Ugh... Seeing him first on blinking his eyes is the greatest achievement as his precious friend!! This female cow... "This is a competition!!"

"You're competent enough to keep up with me eh? But no using your Zeyphre magic!! You can easily fly fast towards his room if you do!! Isn't it unfair then?!!

"Unfair? Well, you can break the Castle on its inside if you were to turn into a Dragon... Heh... If you say so!!"

(A minute later)

Haha! I got here first!

But then, arriving at Igrid's room with such tiredness and messed up face, I had then became fully aware after a few seconds that...

"Huh?! He's not here?!"

Heredica's close!!

Then!! Myrad Dragon's Obscurity!! Myrad's Draconic Eyes!!

(Stealthily walks away from Heredica while invinsible)

--Heredica's POV--

(Just arrived)

Huh? Igrid's not here? As well as Ginou?! Wait!! Something's not right!! So Igrid walked away earlier when he had awaken...? But then... Why is that fool not here?! Don't tell me he was invinsible?!

"..."

Oh. Don't tell me...

"..."

"WHAT THE HELL!!! YOU TOTAL ASSHOLE!!! CLOOOOWNNN!!! WHY DID YOU USE MAGIC!!!"

Most of all...

"THAT ONE f*****g SKILL THAT I CAN'T TRACE WITH SILVIA'S EYES OF PERCEPTION!! THAT f*****g PIECE OF SHITTY SKILL HE GOT BECAUSE OF ME!! DRAGON OBSCURITY!!"

I was careless...

"..."

"Area View!"

Seeing a blue light moving fast, it's Ginou. And what's most, he's going towards Luna's Garden, where we let Eyoulia go there earlier...

"..."

The thing he will use to find Igrid should be his Draconic Eyes. So, if he's using Draconic Eyes to find Igrid's Aura.... This means, Igrid and Eyoulia already met?!! f**k I can't let him see their bewitching romance first!!

"Silvia Zeyphre!! Accelerate!!!"

"..."

(Accelerate? What about the Castle?)

I don't care about it!!

(Ugh... Why would he trigger thi-)

"JUST DO IT!!"

(Oh well. My dear Zeyphre... As your beloved queen, obey me... ACCELERATE)

"..."

(SWOOSH!!!)

Flying dashingly-quick just below the speed of light, I can f*****g punch that piece of s**t clown without even reaching Igrid yet!!

"..."

A minute passed. And...

There he is!!

"YOU f*****g CLOWN!!"

--Clown's POV again--

Oh s**t she's here!! The monster is behind!!

But...

"Haha!! I'm already close!! Eat this ice shards from the surrounding instead!!"

(CRUSH!!)

Oops. Those things of course won't stop a monster...

But then...

"Zeyphre Hand!!"

There she goes.

A wind in a form of a large hand behind me then grabbed me like I'm some kind of bug and... (BANG!!) Slammed me into the ground.

"..."

--Monster's POV, again...--

"That's for fooling me you shitty jester bug!!

I went close enough to him. Crouched and smiled...

Supposedly that I will put him to his misfortune, we didn't realize that the door of Luna's Garden was open...

So I hadn't.

And as I then saw a growing shadow that of a child beside us...

Looking at Ginou now, his eyes answered everything...

"..."

As I then looked to the right. I first saw the feet of that child...

"..."

Looking at the child's torso, a glacier blue-colored hair then appeared.

It was Eyoulia...

Then, looking even up above this child's chest...

"Yo, I'm back."

Is him smiling widely.

----EVE----
