Chapter 16: The Dream Always Seen


"Tadaima"

I know there is no reply, but I say it habitually.
Because, is not it lonely to enter the house in silence?
As usual there was no one at home.
Dad, are you busy with research again?
I rushed into my room on the second floor, threw away the bag and lie down on the bed. 

"Huu"

I hug the pillow and exhale a small sigh.  
I was lying on my back for a while.
A light green curtain that remains closed, light that leaks from that gap illuminates the dust sparkly.
The inside of the room is dim, but it is a trouble to bother to rise it up so I leave as it is.

Ha~a.
I was thinking about yesterday throughout the school.
A cool guy who rescued me in pinch.
Brave Terushi-sama. He appeared dashing, defeat and slander down the bad guys and saved me.
Natta was doubting, but he is definitely not a bad person.

Because, he was really so cool!
A dignified face. The overwhelmingly strong sophisticated swordsmanship. A gentle smile for me.
Just remembering it make me warm.

Ah. I am alright. 

Meeting with such a scary eyes.
It was a bit of a dangerous place, but I'm so excited.
I think I was glad I went to the isolated city yesterday.
Oh, I want to see you again ... ...

When I was thinking about such things, my eyelids gradually became heavier.
Close my eyes, when I feel a sense of drowsiness invited me and lower down the consciousness.
   


............
......
Wa!
Huh, huh ... ....

Well, here is ............ my room.
Oh, I was surprised.
I also saw that dream again.
Evil will do everything to destroy in a burning city.

I fight using the bright flame art. Next to me is always the same shining person.    TL note: terushi is used
Memory was confused as I awoke, and the boundaries between dreams and reality become messy.
A realistic dream that I am not used to even if I see it many times.

In my dreams, I am using a technique that cannot be used even by the leading royal palace bright artist.

Suddenly, one textbook rolling out of the bag stops in my eyes.
A textbook of modern history. I flip through pages and flip through it with my hands.


"- Until 15 years ago, human beings who live in the world known as Midworld [ミドワルト] had been invaded by the Evil of different world.
It is a magical disturbance to say to the world.

Evil lived in Midworld for a long time, but most of it was destroyed and disappeared at the end of long survival competition.

The systematization of bright arts and the development of the bright steel refinement technique have pushed humans to the ruler of Midworld
But twenty years ago, a dimensional fault suddenly appeared across the world,       → Wasgate
There was a case of Evil outbreaks during the incident.

The possibility that there is another world to be coextensive with Midworld has been suggested from the past.
Demons that have appeared from different worlds cause the world to become an unprecedented huge mess.
In the early days of turbulence, countries around the world
could only react negatively to Evil opponents with overwhelming power.  → [Adventurer Guild]

Wasgate’s investigation, formation of small scouting teams, mankind had been forced to fight long and hard battle while maintaining cooperation between nations.
Apart from the Teruyashi City Azir where machine technology was developed, there are many other municipalities and small countries suffering catastrophic damage.

Many young people fought with Evil as soldiers or as adventurers and lost their lives.
It was only five adventurers who ended such an era like hell.→  [five heroes]


Yo tto.
I threw the book of history to the bedside, and I sat on the edge of the bed.
As the sun is setting, the interior is dim.
I close my eyes and mutter the words.

"Power, of, Brightness, Draw, In, The -"

I cast the bright art in northern ancient languages
This word leads to the technique Natta used in the previous lesson.
In the head, sprinkle long words exactly while imagining a scene that dazzle lights the room.

"- And, Light Up, An, Area ..... Light! "

At the same time, I cried out the name that is the key to trigger, I extended my hands forward. 
But nothing changed in the room.
It is natural that I cannot use the art of brightness without being baptized by the bright steel stone.

I know but I'm obsessed.
In reality I, of course, cannot use bright art or something.
But since the event in the dream was so realistic and comfortable, when I awoke, I always feel like a vanishing feeling like this.

Oh no. Let's switch feelings.
Let's wash the face and keep it clean.

As I left the room and went down the stairs, I heard a talking voice from the living room.
I wonder if Dad is coming back so early though the sun has not set yet.

There were two pairs of shoes at the entrance. A pair of black leather shoes, the one the father is wearing all the time.
Another pair ... ... I do not remember. Brown shoes that seems to be easy to move.
Is it person in the workplace?

I had better leave a greeting.
For the time being, wash the face and I check my sleeping habit.
To be as polite as possible, I walk slowly and go to the living room.
I carefully opened the door so as not to make a noise.

"Excuse me."
I tried to say that but it solidified.

"O, were you home?”

I forgot to react to my father's voice? I was stunned.
Because the line of sight was being pinned to the person sitting in the chair opposite that.

To the brown hair, a neat facial appearance.
A young man around twenty around clothed in neat leather clothes.
The chair in which he sits is hung with a fine sword kept in a sheath, but I know that that is not a real thing but a training copper sword.

"Ojama shitemasu"  à I leave it as it is

As a bit shy, the man lowers his head.
That was a person who helped me in a dangerous place in an isolated city yesterday.
Brave enough to stand up against the men in the isolated city, a very brave Terushi-sama who rescured me.
Now, he was drinking tea while facing my father in the living room.
