Chapter 282: Changing Fate? (1/2)

-----

I ended surviving…

I just didn't go skiing in that one place where I would have died.

Apparently, there was a big landslide there, and a big avalanche fell. It wasn't actually provoked because of me or something.

I convinced my sister that I didn't want to ski because it was too dangerous, but we went to the other areas, and we still had fun together…

And it didn't stop… It… Does it continue?

Usually, dreams don't work this way. Why is this continuing?

What is going on?

”Brother?”

”Ah… Yes?”

”Are you alright? Did you had fun?”

My sister asked me this as we traveled back home… her kids were sleeping soundly in the backseat, and his husband was in the front side as she drove the car.

”Ah… Yeah, I am fine… It's just…”

”Hm? What is it? Tell me… I am your sister; it has been a while since you've been more open to me…”

”…”

Sister… I miss you…

”I died back then.”

”Eh?”

”I died… In the avalanche… I knew it was going to happen. I evaded it and I didn't die this time…”

”Huh? H-How did you knew?” she asked.

”I… This is a dream after all… I already died, this is merely a reproduction of my memories.”

”A dream? W-What are you talking about? This is reality…”

”No… You're not real…”

”Ah…”

”I died… And I went to another world… I don't think I will… ever get to see you again… nor mom, nor dad, nor big brother… nor anyone…”

”Brother…”

”But even then… I am such an idiot… Even though I know that all of you are not real. Even when I know this, I keep… I kept the action and accompanied you.”

”But how do you know this is a dream? Maybe… what you lived before was the dream…”

”Eh?”

”Yeah, maybe you dreamed that you died and went to another world… And now, you predicted the Avalanche. I've read in the news about people that can see the future in dreams, these people… Espers.”

”Espers?”

No… This can't be real, right?

I can't… possibly have lived all of that just being a dream…

Right?

I have to just escape.

I just have to will it and-

”Don't worry… Everything is okay now, brother… It was just a dream… Maybe you're an Esper, or maybe you aren't… But we still love you lots and lots, you know?”

”Sister…”

”How about we get together with our big bro and we go hang out together later in the week? We can go to a bar and have a fun time! You never come with us.”

”No, but…”

”But what? Come on! Don't be so shy. It will be fun! Your two big siblings will take care of you anyways.”

”Sister…”

Could all of that had been just a dream then?

Then I am really alive.

I didn't die.

This is my reality now… It was such a long dream…

We moved back home quite quickly, and everything was fine.

I went back upstairs and checked the manga I have not read.

They were there.

Huh? Then I just hallucinated that they didn't have any pages? They got new pages and the story continues too…

Wow…
