Chapter 6 - Waking Up from the Dream

As we continued wandering around to come up with an idea, so much time has passed... Unable to come up with a way to get out of the dream, only impatience grew. 

Yzak: Even though we can't get back, what should we do? 

As Yzak looked around, he hit all the walls and doors that were in sight. While hearing the sound of wood creaking, I slowly looked at the side of Yzak's face. 

(Is he okay...?)

-Flashback-

Yzak: That's right... This is my dream.

-Flashback-

I couldn't forget the sad look in his eyes that made him look like he was drowning in darkness. 

Yzak: Dammit... This is the last straw. Princess, hit me. 

MC: Eh!? 

Yzak: Hit me to wake me up. Just hurry and do it!

While I was confused, Yzak grabbed my hand and held it above my head. 

(Even if he tells me to hit him...!) 

Yzak: Can't you do it? Then, pinch my face as hard as you can. Don't hold back! Come at me!

MC: A-Are you serious...? 

Yzak: Of course I am! Don't you want to hurry and go back!

MC: Then... Sorry, Yzak!

Once I've readied myself, I pulled Yzak's cheeks with all my strength with both hands. 

Yzak: O-OWWW!!!

When I let go of him in a panic after he shouted that, I nervously looked up at Yzak's face... 

Yzak: N-Not bad... 

As there were a few tears in his eyes, Yzak rubbed his cheek. 

Yzak: ...Nothing happened!

MC: I think it's different than waking up from a dream with such a simple method. 

Yzak: If you knew that, then you should've said so from the start!

MC: S-Sorry. 

Unable to look at Yzak as he was still rubbing his cheek, I slowly turned away... 

Chapter 7 - That's Why It's a Dream

As the flowers were swaying from the nightly breeze, a sweet scent was being carried away... When it got dark after we failed to reach our destination, Yzak and I arrived at a cemetery. 

Yzak: ...

As his lips were closed tightly, Yzak's eyes shook as he looked ahead. 

(What is he looking at...) 

When I followed his gaze, I saw Fllayg-san from behind as he was standing still in front of a grave. 

MC: Fllayg-san...!

Yzak: ...This is my dream too. Remember. This is just before we went to see you guys... Bro was nowhere to be found, so I went to looking for him. Now that I think about it, I noticed that he was desperately holding back all his worries for me and our brothers. But... I didn't say anything. I didn't want to get in the way of Bro. ...What was Bro thinking? If I had heard him out, would things have turn out a bit differently...? 

After he said that, I didn't say anything and looked down. 

Yzak: That's what I hated! Even if I regret it now, it won't change anything!

Just as my heart ached from him questioning himself painfully, my hand wandered in the air just as I was about to reach out to him. 

Yzak: Nothing will change, Bro doing something like that and not being able to save Adam. What am I seeing this dream for? To escape? ...You got to be kidding me. Leaving my brothers, as if I would do something so uncouth!

MC: Yzak!

When his pain got through to me, I held his hand that was clenched firmly. 

MC: I don't know why you're having this dream, but I know what it is that you want to protect. Harvesting vegetables for your brothers, doing laundry, you were really enjoying yourself. 

Yzak: That's... Those were just chores. 

When a smile slightly returned to his face, I softly took a deep breath wholeheartedly. 

MC: But, I want to protect that happiness of yours. 

Yzak: !

MC: Seeing the past made me realize that we should take another look if we want to go back. Which is why we shouldn't be wasting time. 

(Because our feelings are what makes us stronger...) 

Yzak: ...Shut up!

When Yzak shook me off, he held his hand above my head. 

MC: ...

I closed my eyes, but I felt a warm sensation coming down onto me...

The way he was petting me was unsteady as if he was trying to console me lightly in return. 

MC: Yzak...? 

Yzak: Geez... You sure have some guts. Wanting to go back, huh... It might be just as you said. I needed this time as well... 

Suddenly, the scene around Yzak became distorted as it was losing it's form. 

(Just now, the dream crumbled down?) 

The transformation didn't make any sense, but it was surely spreading a little. 

MC: Once you've readied yourself... I'm sure that we'll get out. 

Yzak: You saying that makes me think so too. It's really annoying. 

As we watched the scene that was crumbling down, we smiled at each other. 

When the last single flower petal went by in front of us, we returned to the kitchen again before we knew it... 

Last Chapter - Before the Dream Ends

When the scene around us went away, we returned to the empty kitchen. Yzak stood in front of the kitchen utensils that he was used to using. 

Yzak: ...

When he grabbed a bowl, he turned on the faucet and got rid of the silent atmosphere. 

Yzak: Alright, let's start. 

MC: Start what? 

Yzak: Before we returned, I told Adam that I would be using all my skills. Even if this is a dream, it's a promise that I made to my brother. I need to keep it. 

With the thought of his younger brother, Yzak softly smiled with the face of a "big brother". When I became attracted to that kindness, I suddenly smiled. 

MC: Okay! Is there anything I can do? 

When I asked that and stood beside him, he looked at me as if he was testing me. 

Yzak: You can cook, Princess? 

MC: Pretty much... 

(I don't really get it, but...) 

Even so, when he eagerly rolled up his sleeves, Yzak narrowed his eyes with a grin... 

Yzak: Then, show me what you got. 

MC: What are we going to make? 

Yzak: First off, we're going to cut up all the vegetables that we've harvested and stir fry them. Come on, cut them as much as you can. 

As I was cutting the vegetable that he handed me, I slowly looked at Yzak as he was humming while cooking. 

Yzak: Even if I'm cooking, Ru would definitely say this. I want to eat something more different~ In that case, cook for yourself. There aren't a lot of different things to eat. 

When he looked happy as he made that complaint, he checked my skills. 

Yzak: You're pretty good. 

MC: That's good. 

Yzak: It feels somewhat fresh. Probably because I've always been cooking by myself here... Cooking with someone like this isn't bad. Is this what they call group work? 

MC: ...!

Just as those words made my cheeks warm, Yzak made a surprised look. 

Yzak: I-It's not like I'm interested in that sort of thing! I was just... 

MC: Yzak, the pot!

When it looked like the pot was about to overflow, I stopped the stove fire in a panic. We both sighed deeply... and then, we smiled at each other. 

Yzak: Ah, that's right... That thing called a market. They sell all kinds of things, right? They must have all kinds of things that I've never seen before. If we had something like that, I could make more tasty dishes... 

MC: Yes. 

When his smile showed me another new side of him as his eyes were shining, I couldn't hold back my heart that was throbbing sweetly. 

Yzak: Since my brothers won't move unless I tell them to, I pretty much end up cleaning up the mess. But, surprisingly, I like being here. Once we leave here one more time, I'm going to feed some tasty stuff that those guys and Bro have never eaten before. 

(I want to make Yzak's wish come true too.) 

Yzak: Until that time comes, I'll call you over too. 

Right now, Yzak's eyes didn't have any hatred or anger in them. When I became happy about that... I strongly wished to get closer to his heart more...

......

While we were cooking, we returned to the darkness that we saw in the first place before we knew it.

Yzak: Tsk... Just when it was looking good while it was being cooked, I can't smell anything at all. 

When he looked down at his hand that was holding a frying pan, Yzak shrugged his shoulders. 

Yzak: I'm getting sick of this dream already. 

MC: I guess so. 

Yzak: But, I'm glad that you were with me. I feel like I got to know how those guys were feeling. 

As all the darkness in the dream was disappearing, Yzak messily petted my hair with his free hand. 

Yzak: It made me think how I wanted to be next to you...

MC: Eh?

When I suddenly looked up from the shadows that have fallen, Yzak's face got closer. 

MC: !

Just as he got to a distance where his breath could touch my lips, I closed my eyes, but... 

Yzak: Haha. 

I opened my eyes wide when my nose was tightly pinched.

Yzak: What a weird face. 

MC: Geez, don't tease me... 

The moment I looked at Yzak irritated, I felt a soft sensation against my forehead. When his lips touched me for just a slight moment, I became speechless...

Yzak: That was my way of thanking you and a slightly early good morning greeting. ...Next is the future after waking me up from the dream. 

(Pretty soon... The dream is going to disappear.) 

As I felt his warmth, we ran towards the light that was shining in. To make the wish that I heard in this dream come true, I jumped into the battle that was going to happen from here on...
