Chapter 1

“……Souy half a lifetio”

I opened e dream

And yet even with my eyes opened, I still felt hazy and my conciousness can’t focus no matter what I did

First of all, I don’t recognize this place

On the right, on the left; what could be seen, what could be heard; and while we’re at it, even below – there’s a rainbow of colors? Anyway its perfect to be called a strange place

It feels fluffy and I’ this this mysterious space

What this is, I don’t know at the moment

“……”

“……”

And another thing that’s strange is the weird guy in front of me

He’s a translucent oldaround with me

Additionally, he’s a little too close, his nose ht stick to my face

“What is this situation…”

Honestly, it could be a nightmare

The situation won’t let h

“…it’s a dream This is within your dreams”

“I see…… well, bad dreams happen afterall…”

Apparently, only my mouth listens to my commands

Then again, even if I open my mouth, it seems useless to the other person

Even then, I tried my best to understand the old man in front of me

It was the only thing I could do

He has a long beard and wears a robe, designed like it was icians

But wherever I look, he still appears transparent

Translucent

I call it downright baffling

Why is he transparent? Even our neighborhood cats have more presence

I immediately hastily threw a spoon in that direction

There’s no way to know~

I, Kouno Tarou, ae student

To begin with, I was supposed to be attending a lecture just a o

Well, I’ a bit to the drea my class

Even so, I’eezer

Light bulb!

Could this possibly be that?

Could this guy be ?

To my dazed self, an ancestor visited ive me a lecture?

If that’s the case then there’s only one thing, it probably won’t hurt to apologize preemptively

“Well if it isn’t Ancestor-sama I’m very sorry I accidentally slept in class This, I sincerely confess and I shall reflect on it Please, could you possibly pardon my sins?”

“…I’, am I?”

The old man bowed, and what he said lowered the aardness somewhat

Must’ve misread the situation

“Ahh, that ht it eird I’ve never seen your face before”

“…it’s normal”

The old man murmured in exhasperation, so I answered confidently

“It is often said but, I think this is an opportunity”

“Wait, what?”

The olddoesn’t ht now

My priority should be to know e place

So he wouldn’t suspect a thing, I lightly inquired

“Well~ that’s fine and all Anyway, since this is a dreaht?”

To me, my words and attitude are similarly casual

I’ll wake up if it’s a dreaeezer’s answers

“…eh, it’s unfortunate but you probably won’t wake up from this dream”

“A-,… why?”

“Well, you’re probably confused but this is a very lucky thing”

“Now, you’re justwith me”

I involuntarily blurted that point

Realizing that this isn’t your ordanary drea dead is another possibility

Additionally, instead of a sexy wohost inside my dream

This joke is done in bad taste, but to strange oldthat way

“To say it ic”

“You should’ve said that earlier”

“…Iuy, aren’t you?”

The oldbut for so so fantasy-ish that it’s boring me

Did he say ic?

I feel like he takes me for a fool

Just because he looks like a

It’s just that the real headache coe situation

“Magic… aside fro?”

In this situation, the old man in front of me holds the only way I can escape I held on to that hope, but he suddenly declared so in a serious countenance

“I’ll put it bluntly, come to my world!”

“Eh? Even if I don’t want to?”

After my immediate answer, the old man looked like he was about to cry

“…you didn’t have to say it so decisively”

“No well, I have to refuse Right now, I’ campus life”

I was unceremoniously dumped into this situation

Like that, I just entered fresh

My hard, painful revisions are over; finally, I was freed froe old man and his nonsense?

Listen, I don’t see a reason why I should go along with this

That’s why I flatly refused and I wish he would give up

Would the oldhis beard, and a grin suddenly appeared on his face

“Fumu… the truth is, I have prepared tremendous benefits for you, don’t you know?”

“…I’ll only listen this time What is it?”

“Yes, I will grant you with ic!”

“What’s that, I don’t want it”

With another immediate answer, the old man’s face fell

“That’s ridiculous… e in the world, you know? Are you saying you don’t want ic?”

I can’t see him eye to eye on that point and it disturbs me

But I have to tell him what I really think

“No, in the first place I don’t know ifthat doesn’t exist?

Frankly, such a thing, stinks of a scam

While I prohly explained to the elderly what I meant, for soed

“What! Your world doesn’t have ic?! Such an unfortunate world!”

“Oh my, so you were surprised by that part? It’s not unfortunate at all Don’t you think having ic is absurd? Think scientifically”

At the end of the day, I think it’s fine not to ruin the the illusion of randpa

Moreover, gra and all

“Fu you speak of but it soe… I feel a tremendous amount of power from you…”

“Is that so?”

We were in thewas raised
