Chapter 136: Dream Come True

Chapter 136: Dream Come True

Th-this is Im not

We returned to the room with the gas traps, and after attempting to search the left-hand side passage, we soon found Yamada.

No, really Please, keep this a secret, from Reina-chan

Right, no problem. You can rest assured that I wont tell her about you committing illicit acts with elementary school girls

Wed found defendant Yamada surrounded by multiple cloud creatures,

UOHHH, ELEMENTARY SCHOOL GIRLS ARE THE BEEEST!!

He shouted, clearly deranged, and we quickly subdued him. Upon further investigation, the accused made such claims as, I dont really remember, and even started to repeat nonsensical gibberish such as, Im their onii-chan and theyre all my cute little sisters after all, his pedophilia, lolita complex, was quite chronic it seemed.

That was expected though.

Now we just need to get Yamajun and Ayase-san

Yamada looked dead in the eyes as he listlessly followed us in our search.

So many forks

Looks easy to get lost in

Do we split up?

No, we might get into more traps if we go separately. I know this is slower, but we have to stick together here

We hadnt had any pitfalls yet, but I shouldnt be so sure about finding everyone so easily. Like, what if we find Reina next, but then Yamajun is missing? I wasnt sure I could manage the party without him. As he was a pivotal member of the party as well as a good friend, it was essential we find Yamajun.

Maybe my honest-to-goodness feelings reached him, as we quickly got a lead.

I can hear Yamajun!

Oi, Where?

Wait, shut up a bit This way, lets go!

Uedas acute hearing picked up on Yamajuns voice, and we headed in that direction immediately. Everyone here liked Yamajun, hed been a good friend and all-around nice guy to all of us in class and in the dungeon. We were a lot more serious about finding him than we were for Yamada.

We quickly checked the surroundings before entering the target room, and deeming it safe, we entered promptly. It was the 5th time already, I was used to it.

There we saw, as expected, Yamajun was lying on the floor together with a cloud creature.

M, mmm We, we cant, no No, its just that, Ive always

H-holy fuck, Yamajun still has his clothes on

That guys legit got balls of steel

A dude among dudes

Unlike them whod been yelling and swinging their hips like dogs in heat, Yamajun, though a bit disheveled, was still in his uniform, and it only looked like he was lying in bed with the creature.

I was pretty astonished to say the least. Yamajun was a guy too, he shouldve been the same as us hormonal teenagers, but he was actually resisting the blissful temptation that the cloud creature was showing him. Amazing willpower. Or perhaps, this girl he was seeing was someone he was very hesitant to defile.

Anyway, I was in deep admiration of his psychological duress.

Yamajun, well save you now!

I swiped the evil creature away at once using Blackhair Bind, and the totem-pole trio, along with Yamada, gave it a severe beat down in spiteful anger. It was overkill yes, but this was its just desserts for laying a hand on our Yamajun.

Ok, rescue complete.

Nnh, uuh

Ah! You alright there?

No, sorry, I cant take it anymore, I Love you, I love you so much!

Yamajun suddenly made a heated confession of love, as he embraced me.

Uwaaah!? Hey, you guys, Yamajuns still not out of it! Help!

Oi, get a hold of yourself!

Wake up man!

Thats no dudette, thats Momokawa!

I was THIS close to get my second kiss from a guy before everyone could drag Yamajun off me.

That was close, Id thought that wed get him back since we beat the cloud creature already, but since it was a dream-like hypnosis, there was a chance that hed still be confused right after waking up. I hadnt considered that.

Yamajun, howre you feeling?

Eh, ah Momokawa-kun Whats

Yamajun looked listless as he returned to sanity and for the 5th time, I explained the hypnosis trap.

Ah, oh, thats Im, so sorry Momokawa-kun, I Uuuhh

Eh, no, hey, dont cry. It happened to all of us, dont worry so much

Thats right Yamajun, you did great

Yeah, he was the only one who wasnt already fucking when we found him

Heheh, whos the girl, you can tell us, dude

I, dont think it matters Me, I was even, kuh

Her uniform was on. Her clothes werent even disheveled. She was smiling innocently like a child being hugged by her mother.

Reina-chan!

Yamada and the trio shouted almost simultaneously.

She was under its spell. Even without me asking, they would quickly run to their precious princess, and unleash their rageful blade into the insipid cloud creature or not.

Ah, you boys Why, are you here?

Reina, noticed us.

Obviously she would since these guys had shouted out her name so loud. But that wasnt normal.

Reina was currently under the cloud creatures hypnosis, having a sweet reunion with her beloved Souma-kun, so there was no way our words would reach her ears.

Something was wrong.

But I seemed to be the only one noticing the discrepancy, the guys who leaped into action in order to save her just answered normally.

Reina-chan, were here to save you!

Well fuck up that cloud mofo!

That dudes not the real Souma Yuuto!

Yelled the totem-pole trio, followed by Yamada who screamed,

UOOHHHHH!! ILL SAVE YOU REINA-CHAN!!

Countering that, Reina replied,

No, no NOO!!

Utter rejection. As if, we were terrible monsters who came to ruin her happiness. She screamed in tears as she buried her face into the cloud creatures chest.

No, dont, I dont wanna! Get away, Im with my Yuu-kun!

Wh-what are you saying, Reina-chan!?

Thats a fake over there!

Dudes, she might be in hypnosis again

Got it, Ill just fucking kill him

I wonder, was she really? Couldnt she be doing this fully aware?

I cant imagine Reina of all people being thankful to us if we separated her from that thing.

Im sure she thought of us as a bunch of loud and obnoxious boys prancing around her for no reason. She literally had no idea how much we were helping her, being careful not to offend her, and basically protecting her.

Im with Yuu-kun now! Isnt that fine? Why why do you keep getting in my way!

The moment I heard that, I felt like Id finally understood this girl called Reina A. Ayase.

Reina didnt mean any harm. She wasnt the type of scum that trampled on other peoples kindness.

She was simply, too pure, her heart, too child-like.

Like how a child wouldnt understand the troubles of their parents. Children in general, basically just didnt understand an adult mindset. Kids had their own sense of value, of good and bad.

In that sense, seeing as how she hadnt a need once she was with her Souma-kun, it was kind of sad that theyd gotten separated for so long. Basically, if crying and screaming got her to keep being with Souma-kun, that was good enough for her.

But no matter how big or small her feelings on the matter were, this cruel isekai dungeon wouldnt just let that happen. In reality, her and Souma-kun had been placed separately from the start. That was reality and no matter how she begged or cried, that reality wouldnt change.

No, I wont leave Yuu-kun ever! I hate you, I hate everyone who wants to take Yuu-kun away from me! Save me, Yuu-kun! Please protect me, dont go away!

No really, I told you, your feelings wont reach that thing, shouting wont make it real. Souma-kun isnt here.

Sure Reina, Ill protect you

But then I heard it, Souma-kuns voice.

Impossible, dont tell me he actually transferred over, at this perfect timing no less No, theres always a huge flash of light when that happens in a fairy square.

Nothing like that happened. No one had come. But then,

Yuu-kun!

Ill, never go away, Reina I promise

Mm, promise, Yuu-kun!

Thank you, Reina that binds us in promise (contract)

It was the cloud creature, it spoke.

The thing slowly stood up, Reina still in its embrace. It was like its fluffy body was a costume of some sort, and the real Souma-kun was inside with how fluently it spoke with the same voice as the guy.

Wh-what the hell, are you

Towards my strained question, it continued boldly,

I am Souma Yuuto Protector of Reina, Guardian Beast SOUMA YUUTO

Instanly, the white cloud body burst.

And from inside, it, he appeared, looking like an exact mirror image of Souma Yuuto.
