Chapter 91: Like a flowing dream
“Umm……” (Arge/Ginji)
I opened my eyes and got tickled.
The reason is simple. It is because my long black hair hangs on my nose.
“… Ryuko-chan?” (Arge/Ginji)
“Yes, good morning. Kuon Ginji-san”
When I call the name of a girl in front of me, she reply with the smile that I can see and the voice that I can heard.
… Is it a dream again?
It is not Argento Vanpear but a memory as Kuon Ginji. I am experiencing it again as a dream.
The time is a few days after Kuon family decided I’m don’t have the talent “to be human” or “to live” and I was imprison here as “dead”. Kuon family don’t need such people and they will be keep in here for the rest of their life.
I should call her as Ryuko-san, but the person herself look even younger than a child like me.
Looking at me who just wake up, Ryuko-san smiled.
“I always think, you are sleep a lot, aren’t you, Ginji-san?”
“… Certainly, there are few entertainment here, do you want me to bring the board game next time.”
“Fu fu, is that so? I will get it for you …, since it’s time for meal, please get up.”
“Thank you” (Arge/Ginji)
Right now I’m watching the conversation which has become past.
I already knew what she will say and my reply.
… Why do I keep dreaming of the old times?
Since I reincarnation in the different world, I have seen past as dreams many times.
I get off the bed automatically just like I remember in my memory and advance to the table. I only can only watch.
“The meal today, I handmade it by myself”
“Ha~, is that so?”
Tanako is smiling and urges me with “Here you go!”
To be honest, I’m really appreciated that meals will come out even if I stay silent, so I decided to obediently receive it.
I’m taking a seat on the other side and starting to eat, Ryuko-chan is also sat down face to face with me. She often sit down and have meal together, for some reason.
“Is it tasty?”
“Fu fu, your girlly face doesn’t change, so I don’t know until you said it.”
“You don’t change your facial expressions at all, I only hear your pleased voice! I will not be able to judge whether it is true!”
“If you want to express your happiness, please make sure your face smiled properly”
While complaining about it, she seemed to be enjoying somewhat, and she begin to move her chopsticks.
I can make meal myself, but it is true that I really appreciate someone made meal for me. If meal is delicious, I will love that even more.
“Life with a three meal and nap whenever I want … this life is so comfortably, isn’t it?” (Arge/Ginji)
“Is that so?” (Arge/Ginji)
“… There are several other rooms besides here, but only you can remain alive and sane.”
Oh, look like there’re other people beside me.
The Kuon family that I was born is a greatest family, you can say that all of the world is in their hands.
People who brought to this kind of room before me probably couldn’t bear. They couldn’t bear the treatment and either become insane or chose death.
I do not understand that feeling. It is because it seems natural for things to be thrown away.
So why do not you think about the possibility of yourself being “so”?
I’m watching it in my dream of that time, even now, after reincarnated as Argento Vampear, I still don’t understand that.
“The family didn’t need it and we were thrown away … is it so difficult just to accept it?” (Arge/Ginji)
“This room …?” (Arge/Ginji)
“… It is supposed to be isolated from the outside world and not to need it … No matter how good this place is, It is a place to destroy the human heart of unnecessary Kuon’s member”
I can understand the meaning of the word she said. Because this room is too beautiful.
Yet the walls and stairs beyond iron grid are old, only the room is the new.
And Ryuko-chan keeps on speaking.
“We have order to take care of anyone come here with best treatment, even so people still can’t accept it, it won’t take long before they’re broken … until you appear.”
“… Yeah”
Her expression is fluctuating, Ryuko-chan put off the chopsticks.
I seemed to remember the taste neatly and unexpectedly, to the extent that I thought as “nostalgic”, I also felt the taste of meal.
“… There are lots of servants who are afraid of you, so that’s why they are used to people like me”
“It will be no good, but Ginji-san don’t have to do anything and they aren’t monitored here either.”
Ryuko-chan smiles with a relieved smile like she gave up.
Still, the dream is smiling, it seemed force, I wonder if i’m doing bad.
“The Ginji-san is a strange person”
“Yes, very … So … I don’t want you try to get out of here, I want you to be alive. To keep seeing someone het broken … I got tired.”
Wishing words like praying.
However, before I speak that word in my dreams, my consciousness came.
… “I am okay”, I said so.
Although It was inevitable while I was asleep, I could not keep the words I said.
I will awake from my dream, even as a small needle sticks in my heart.
Which name is called, which one? (Arge still half-sleep)
