93 Episode 93: "I hugged the shrine maiden and slept together to help" Tenryu no Egg ".".txt (1/2)

It's nice to meet you. Brother.

Iris sat upright on the floor and bowed deeply.

It was a kneeling down, straight from Raphilia.

This is my room.

It is now the night of the day that has passed since then.

Iris, dressed in a white nightie, is sitting on the floor, looking at me with a nervous face.

Since Iris is supposed to be my slave here, she's wearing the same pajamas as everyone else. It's similar to the yukata from the original world, where the cloths are joined in front of your body and fastened with an obi.

It looks good on Iris, who has a sleek figure. However, the obi is a bit loose, perhaps because she doesn't like to be forced to sit on the ground. That's probably why you can see the expansive area below the collarbone.

Now, Iris and I are going to interfere with the Heavenly Dragon's Egg and try to find out the cause of White's nightmares.

I touched the 'Heavenly Dragon's Egg' that I had placed on the bedside table.

''The method is just as I explained it to you earlier, okay?

Yes. Iris, big brother, kissing and hugging each other to sleep ...... and leave the rest to big brother to do all the rest, right?

Specifically, it uses Iris's 'Dragon Species Empathy Level 4' and my 'Shared Consciousness (Mindfulness) Gauge'.

'Too much clericalism in your expressions would make the damsel in Iris cry, wouldn't it?

Iris pinched the fingers of her hands together in frustration.

Then she retied the sash of her nightgown, adjusted the collar, and nodded that she was ready.

I pulled on Iris's slender arms and got her to stand.

I lay a nervous Iris down on the freshly washed and fluffy (a good job by Aine) sheets.

Iris stretched out her arms and legs, like she was already doing what she wanted to do, but she felt embarrassed that she was staring at me, so she grabbed the collar of her nightgown and turned to the side.

'...... This is the kind of work only Iris can do, right?'

Iris mumbled, turning red to her earlobes.

'Iris thought it was embarrassing ...... that she was the only one with dragon blood. But because of that, I was able to become my brother's. So, this power is also for my brother to use .......

Thanks, Iris.

It's a tad excessive, don't you think?　There is a proverb in Ilgafa that says ...... is the closest thing to one who crosses the stormy seas in the same boat, and whose faith in each other is as good as ......'s in the family that loves each other... ...and'

Buh.

It was too much, and Iris turned her head to the other side and covered her face.

'Well, our parties are like a family.

'Ugh. Big brother: ......

So, I don't mean to push you. Don't be afraid to tell me if you feel like you're on the edge.

Iris nodded her head in response to my question.

From now on, we will use the dragon species empathy to link up with White in his egg state, and I will connect with Iris using the ”dragon species empathy” to find out the cause of White's nightmares.

The procedure is that Iris and I will connect with him through 'mind linkage' to find out the cause of White's nightmare.

I explained the procedure to everyone yesterday.

And today, after dinner, I went to my room with Iris, but...

But first, I have to clean up!

Aine's stop was made.

'Atmosphere is so important. You never know what's going to happen. We have to make sure that Iris has a 'good memory' too!　As everyone's 'big sister', it's my duty to make a good environment for my friends!

That's why my room has been cleaned by everyone, with Aine as the leader.

The sheets and pillows are freshly washed, and there is a magical lamp by the window that glows with a red light.

On the table there is warm milk and herbal tea to warm my body and help me sleep.

Aine washed and Cecil and Rafilia magically dried my nightgowns.

Iris had her hair done after she and Rita took a bath together.

The Tenryu no Eggs are by the bedside.

She was on the cushions behind a pillow that could hold two heads.

White didn't respond, but when I touched it, it was warm.

I'm sure he's alive.

...... This is White's body ...... in short, it's the same as Leggy the Magic Sword.

When you rewrote Reggie's skills, you could interfere if you touched her body (magic sword).

Again, linking to White's body (egg) might get us closer to sealing it.

I don't know if Iris and I can manage the mythical level problem with our skills, but we'll try.

'Then, Iris, try to see if you can link with White in this state.

Yes. Activate 'Dragon Seed Sympathy Lv 4'.

Iris touches the 'Heavenly Dragon's Egg' and activates the skill.

''Dragon Species Empathy Lv 4''

The unique skill of Iris-Hafeumea, who is of dragon's blood.

It allows her to communicate her will with sea dragons, flying dragons, and other dragons.

Its empathy ability becomes stronger the closer it is to its target.

It is also due to this ability that its scales change color when it comes into contact with the ”Hero of the Sea Dragon” and that it can call the sea dragon Kerkator.

''I can feel it. White, I'm dreaming in here. You'll know it when you get this close. If we sleep together, I think we'll have the same dream.

Okay. Please 'share your consciousness' so that I can dream too.

Yes, sir.

Iris squeezed the chest of her nightgown and closed her eyes.

...... nervous. It's the second time.

'Activate 'Shared Consciousness (Mind Linkage) LV1'

...... haha. Hah, Lively, Huff.

The moment their faces separated, Iris, who had been holding her breath the whole time, held her chest and breathed.

''Here, now all you have to do is sleep with your brother, right?

Iris is the only one who sleeps. I'm supposed to watch him dream.

...... Huh?

Iris's eyes widened as she felt a popping.

Huh?　Didn't I explain it to you?

Is your brother awake?

Yeah. I'm a dreamer.

Is Iris the only one who sleeps?

Do you feel uncomfortable with us?

It's not like that...　Onii-chan!

Pow, pow, pow.

Iris taps the pillow with her little palms.

'So then, Iris is just going to have her brother see her sleeping face and all her dreams one way or the other?

Yes.

”Oh, it's not what I was expecting...!

Iris is getting teary-eyed, but...

If I fall asleep, there won't be anyone to interfere with White's dreams, right?

We can't all be in a state of unconsciousness, you know.

...... ugh.

I'm not gonna do anything weird.

'That's not the point, though: ...... big brother.

Iris woke up and grabbed me by the shoulders, groggily.

'Can you believe that whatever sleepy talk, whatever sleepy face, whatever dreams Iris had in front of her brother tonight had nothing to do with the actual Iris and was all fictional?

Don't be ridiculous.

But, well, I guess it can't be helped.

This 'Heavenly Dragon Larvae Rescue Quest' is my job.

I'll do my best to fulfill Iris's wishes.

Okay, Iris.

'I suppose it can't be helped. It would be easier for Iris to share her dreams with Mr. White if she slept too.

This time it's not about 'talking to the dragon' but 'dreaming with the dragon'.

So it seems that it would be easier for Iris to link her consciousness if she slept too. Iris's skills are for empathizing with the dragon, so that's why.

Iris agreed with me on that.

The fact that she turned her head to the other side, curled up in a ball and kept silent, seems to have caused some resistance.

'────── but what should I do?'

Iris squeezes the sheets tightly.

It's a good thing that you're not going to be able to find out what's wrong with you. When the scales come out of your sweat, you don't want to wear your nightgown because you don't want it to rub off. It's also possible that you may have named your pillow ”Nagi Onii-chan” and are hugging it.

...... Yes, I knew it. I'm sure you've got some resistance.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about it. I've also found that I can sleep more calmly when I am patted on the head, just like my mother did for me when I was a child. ......

Yes, sir.

caressing

Oh, brother?

Strokes, strokes, strokes.

'Ha, shit!　I was just 'sharing consciousness'. Nah, no, brother. Iris can't expose her embarrassing appearance in front of her brother...

Stroking, stroking, stroking, stroking. ......

No. No. ......

He stroked it.

............ soooo.

Iris fell asleep with a thud.

Okay, the first step is now complete.

Bring the Dragon's Egg close to Iris's body.

Now all we have to do is hold hands with Iris, just to be safe, and then I can lie down and close my eyes, and then I'm sure that Iris and Shiro will be able to see me in my dream.

”──── ggaaaaahhhh, ────────!

I could see it.

Images flowed directly into my head.

It was dark, dark, the depths of the earth.

A huge stake was stuck in a pure white dragon lying on the ground and struggling.

''Oh, brother!''

Iris, who entered the dream before me, hugs me.

The combination of ”Dragon Seed Sympathy Level 4” and ”Shared Consciousness” looks like a success.

Are you okay, Iris?

'Iris has her brother, so she's fine. But is this the dream the 'Heavenly Dragon's Egg' is having ......?

It was a pitch black world.

The sky was covered with black clouds and thunder was rumbling in the distance.

All around us was a basin covered with black rocks, and at the bottom of the basin a white dragon was lying on the ground.

It has a long neck, horns and huge wings.

The pearl-colored horns are the same color as the ones behind White's ears.

This is the ”Celestial Dragon Blanchalka” - or is it the magic power of the previous Celestial Dragon?

I'm not a wizard, but even I can feel the powerful magic power rippling through me.

It's truly a transcendent existence.

...... Where's White?

There he is.

At the edge of the basin, sleeping on his knees.

Rocks seem to surround him, blocking out the dragon's voice and magic.
