A Nightmare is a Premonition Dream

.

“……Eh?”

Amane’s body floated in the air as her voice leaked out unexpectedly at the sudden situation.

She was thrown off the landing of the school stairs and her body seemed to stop for a moment, but there was no way she could defy gravity just because she thought she could, and she was slammed straight down to the floor.

“Gah!?”

The breath was forced out of her lungs by the strong impact, and she tumbled down with great force, finally coming to a stop as she crashed into the wall with a dull thud.

However, a pool of blood was spreading from Amane’s body, especially from her head.

“Ah… Aaaah…”

A pained voice leaked out from Amane, who was staring into the void under the orange light, but…… Gradually, the voice and the light of life faded from her eyes.

.

.

“WHOAAA!? AMANE!!”

I suddenly screamed and jumped up at the sight of Amane sinking into a pool of blood.

What is spreading there is my usual room which I’m tired of seeing all the time………… What that means.

“D-dream? Dream… right… I see…”

My breathing is disturbed and I’m sweating cold all over my body.

The content of the dream was so shocking, Amane was seriously injured… No, or perhaps the scene was… I shook my head to cancel out the words as the words I didn’t want to think about popped into my head.

At the same time, I couldn’t help but think to myself that it was definitely sort of a nightmare.

“I’m glad it was just a dream…………”

*

”It’s here… isn’t it?”

When I arrived at the school, the first thing I did was to look for the stairs that had been “the scene where Amane was seriously injured,” in my dream, and I found a place that was probably here.

No, it’s not a big deal that I found it.

After all, it’s the shortest staircase to our class, the main staircase, the one you would normally take to get to and from school.

“The landing on the way down to the first floor…”

This is the place where Amane fell down in my dream with a lot of blood pouring from her head……

A chill ran through my body as I remembered the scene.

“!? I-It’s ridiculous… No matter how many ominous dreams I’ve had… it’s only a dream, there’s nothing to worry about ~”

I forced myself to shake off the endless “bad feeling” that was rising in me and walked into the classroom.

To the end of the stairs where Amane had fallen in the dream…

And school life begins as usual.

While I was stuck in the classroom with only the guys, Amane was smiling at the center of her friends as usual.

A group of friendly people, both men and women, naturally gathered around her, When I see such a scene, I can’t help but think that what happened yesterday morning when she greeted me back was a continuation of the dream that that convenient dream showed me…

As Amane and the others were chatting, a group of men approached them in a very familiar manner.

The guy at the center of the group, who is very flirtatious, is the man who is rumored to have recently started dating Amane…

“Ne~e Amane~ Come hang out with me after school. Let’s go somewhere together ~”

I reflexively felt annoyed by such a familiar way of speaking.

It was as if he was saying, “It’s only natural that I should be accommodated at my own circumstances,” as if he didn’t need to think about the other person’s circumstances…

No… to be more direct… I didn’t like the way her boyfriend’s way of speaking.

However, Amane easily rejected it without losing her smile.

“Eh? No. I’m supposed to go get fat today, just the girls… right?”

“Oh yeah, after-school sweetie girls’ night.”

“Boys are forbidden”

“… Tsk”

When the three good friends, including Amane, softly but crisply said no, the shallow playboy instantly turned sullen and walked out of the classroom.

I don’t think it was my imagination that his cronies, especially the girls, looked a little relieved at Amane’s reply.

I have to admit, I made guts pose when I saw him rejected so easily…

That day, from morning until after school, I kept a close eye on Amane’s movements and was repeatedly walking back and forth pointlessly between the classroom and the stairs.

I know it was just a dream, but I still couldn’t get the vividness of the dream out of my mind… To put it bluntly, I needed some reassurance.

In the end, today I had spent the whole day at school watching Amane.

What can I say… As I thought, Amane is cute… She can get along with anyone and she’s kind to everyone… Even though so much has changed since that day when we were little and played together, that part has not changed at all, a girl named Kanzaki Amane.

“I wonder what I’m doing~ “

There was no one in the classroom after school, and Amane had already gone to a “sweets girl’s party” with her friends, so she was no longer at school.

Even though there were no conditions for what I had seen in my dream to happen, I was still disgusted with myself for not leaving until the evening.

“… I look like a stupid ……… Let’s go home…”

I’ll just be glad that nothing happened and it’s just needless worry, and then I headed for the stairs from my classroom, which was tinged with the setting sun, with the sound of the baseball or soccer team shouting in the distance.

Our 2nd-grade classroom is on the 2nd floor … Of course, the shortest way to get there is the front stairs, so nothing special happened and I made it to the first entrance hall.

The setting sun washed over the campus and everything was tinted orange, creating a fantastic scene… Then I remembered something.

“… Come to think of it, wasn’t the scene around that dream… of Amane floating in the air and falling down as orange as the evening?”

That’s right … it was evening when Amane fell in that dream… If so …

“……Eh?”

The voice came from behind me, from the “top of the stairs” where I was supposed to have come down.

It was as if she was surprised, as if she didn’t understand the situation, such a short female voice that seemed dumb in a way.

But such a woman’s, Amane’s voice sent an instant chill down my spine.

I turned around at the sound of the voice, and saw the figure of Amane, who was about to fall down the stairs… She was thrown into the air, losing her stance with a face full of surprise, not understanding what was happening at all… In the same way as in the dream, Amane is about to fall down the stairs.

“That’s dangerous!!”

I can assure you that I’ve never been able to act with such speed in my life, which can only be described as reflexive.

That’s how fast I was running up the stairs as fast as I could.

I can’t make it in time if I think about it! I slipped myself under the thrown out Amane and grabbed her tightly from the front.

“Mugu !?”

“Eh !? Ah Kyaa!?”

But although I caught him on the spur of the moment, it was a good thing, and I wasn’t able to get a good hold of her, but I was able to press my face against Amane’s stomach, then we were in a shrimpy state in the middle of the stairs.

…… This is bad, it’s not that Amane is heavy, but by forcing myself to hold back the momentum of her fall, if I’m not careful, I could end up falling down myself.

“Eh? Eh? What What!?”

Amane still doesn’t seem to understand what’s going on, but I don’t have the time to explain it to her right now!

FUOOOOOO!! Endure it, my abs and my calves!!

Now I’m holding up a breakable object that should never, ever be dropped!!

But I was so desperate to get back into the position that I didn’t realize that my face, which had been pressed against Amane’s stomach, was in close contact with her bare skin, which had peeked out when I was supporting her.

In such a situation, my breath on Amane’s belly, who was ticklish to begin with, caused an incident.

“Ah-yan…”

“………………”

I had managed to maintain this position with my spirit and guts, but the moment I heard Amane’s slightly erotic breath, I lost all my strength.

“Ah, this is bad…”

Once you’re distracted, it’s too late.

My whole body is being pulled backward by gravity with Amane still in my arms!

“”WHOAAAAAAAA!?””

We both fell down the stairs together.

But still, unlike the dream, I was able to kill the momentum pretty well, and Amane successfully made a soft landing on the landing without tumbling down.

………… By putting me under her.

“Gugu… Mu”

“Ouch… It’s not… Eh!?”

I don’t know how we fell, but Amane, who was on top of me, had a dumbfounded look on her face…

Then she realized I was under her butt and rushed to stand up and… fell on her butt again.

Apparently, because she is in a sudden situation, her hip comes loose… No wonder.

“Are you okay?”

“Eh… Etto… Yumeji-kun?”

At this point, Amane seemed to have finally realized that I was there, and she seemed to be panicking lightly.

I was about to stand up and offer my hand to her, who was still sitting there, but then I heard her friends saying “Ama-cchi~” from the first floor, and I thought better of leaving the situation to them.

“Are you hurt?”

“Eh… Eh, I’m fine…”

“I see… that’s good. Have a safe trip home.”

With that, I decided to leave in the opposite direction of where I heard Amane’s friends’ voices, that is, up the stairs.

It’s the opposite direction of the way home, but somehow I feel like it’s hard to explain this situation to the girls.

Amane seemed to want to say something, but it was somehow awkward or something… You wanted to say to me to leave this place, huh…

I’m really glad that I was able to save Amane.

I can say that with all hands.

But at the same time, it proves that the dream was a complete “premonition”.

“If that’s the case, does that mean the book is real?”

This is a really suspicious “Dream Book” that claims to be able to control dreams.

To be honest, I had a sneaking suspicion that the book was the reason why the dream I had last night kept bothering me… I just didn’t want to admit it somewhere…

“… I’ll have to take a good look at that book when I get home… but…”

As I walked alone down the orange-colored corridor, I felt happy as I remembered all the times I had hugged Amane with all my might, I had my face at her, and all the times she had on top of me.

“Oh no… I might not be able to sleep today…”

Dream book “Beginner”

Premonition dream

Dreaming of future events that could happen to you or someone close to you. In this book, it only appears automatically in the form of “nightmares” to inform the owner of an approaching crisis.

Regarding “Good Future”, the ability has been removed so as not to show it due to the intention of the previous owner.

According to the previous owner, it was “inelegant to know about it first”.
