= On the way Home =
"It's good Kenta-kun have friends now." Yoshikawa smiled.
"Yeah!"
And as we were walking Yoshikawa bumped to an electric post and fell down to the ground, "YOSHIKAWA!!"
"sigh What are you doing?"
"… I am so sorry…"
If this was the [other] Yoshikawa…
He wouldn't have bumped into an electric post…
"…I wish the [other] Yoshikawa was in reality… And not this…" I mumbled, when I realized that I voiced out my thoughts.
"What…?" Yoshikawa said in a small voice as he looked me in sad eyes.
"… I gotta go!" I yelled as I run towards home leaving Yoshikawa alone.
"Anko-san!"
What the heck did I just do!?
It's like the real Yoshikawa should disappear!
= Anko's Room =
The real Yoshikawa is also important…
But…
Being a girl…
[Imagines the other Yoshikawa]
What should I do…?
Someone knocked from the window and I saw Yoshikawa, "Yoshikawa…"
"You went home so quickly… So I wondered why… I'm sorry that I entered from the window." He smiled.
"No… Well, I need to apologize, too… Don't you get bothered? In what I said awhile ago…?" I looked up to face Yoshikawa when he suddenly pushed me to the wall.
"Aaah! Yoshikawa?!"
"It's me..."
The [other] Yoshikawa!
But why…
"Come with me…" he said as he placed the Dream Trip Ticket at my forehead.
"Where are we…?"
"Inside my dreams… I wanted to talk to you without some work…" he said sweetly not like always.
"You said that you wanted me than the real Yoshikawa… I, too, want to be with you forever…" he said as he hugged me tightly in his arms.
"Suki dayo, Anko [I love you, Anko]"
"Yoshikawa…Honto ni? [Yoshikawa… Really?]"
"This is inside the dreams but the only place where we can stay together… Stay with me… And this would be [our] reality…"
Why do I feel empty?
Is it because I feel happy?
I can't think anymore…
ANKO-SAN!
No, Anko-san! This is a…
Yoshikawa?!
This is the voice of the real Yoshikawa!
Please look at the mirror!
"Get away!" I yelled as I pushed [him] away, "W-Who are you!?" I looked into the mirror.
"Who am I? You like the Dream Guy, right?" a Muma suddenly seized me.
Yoshikawa!!
As I was being sucked inside to the Muma's body, Yoshikawa suddenly came and slashed it away.
"ANKO!"
In a flash of seconds,
Why did I see Yoshikawa
As his real self…?
"Anko-chan, you know what, starting today, I'm going to protect people's dreams." Yoshikawa said.
"People's dreams?" I asked, "That's cool! Noboru-chan!" I exclaimed.
"Then, and then… I will protect the awake Noboru-chan and Noboru-chan will protect me when I am sleeping! Promise?" I smiled.
"Yah! I promise!"
What Yoshikawa thinks [the mirror reveals it]
I will protect Anko-san's dreams…
I need to be strong…
I promised her that I'll protect her dreams…
Oh…
That was the reason behind it…
I'm so sorry…
That I forgot what you promised…
"Anko…"
"……… Yoshikawa…" I said as I was in Yoshikawa's arms, "I was the one being possessed by the Muma… Since when?"
"I think it was since you went home alone… I became bothered and visited you there when I saw you sleeping…"
"… I'm sorry Yoshikawa… [You] were strong for me… But then, I—"
"The truth is, I also want to protect the Anko in reality… But, my hands are all full with these dreams… I can't be the Yoshikawa you think of… But, someday I'll be strong… Soremade mattete kureruka? [Will you wait for me, till then?]" He told me sweetly as he kissed me good bye…
"Un… Matteru... Zutto… {Yes… I'll be waiting… Forever}"
= Temple of Dreams =
"What♪ Anko you'll quit???" Hacchi said as he sat down on Anko's head.
"Why? Why?" Pocchi asked as he lay down on Anko's laps.
"I think that the duty was too hard for Anko-chan, for the mean time, I'm still gonna use it." Grandma smiled.
"I'm sorry Grandma, I think I became a more trouble than a help."
"Ah, I don't think so. If my body started to stop moving, then you may use it again."
"Yes!"
Until that time…
I no longer can see the Dream Yoshikawa…
"Anko-san!!" Yoshikawa came running as he waves his hands.
But…
"Here! I think this time, nothing weird will happen." He smiled, "I double-checked the contents, too."
"Huh? It's okay— I still have the charm you gave me last time."
"No." he said as he hangs the charm around my neck, "By seeing nice dreams, it means that you're protected from nightmares. If you don't receive this charm, I can't protect you." He smiled.
I still can see him even not in dreams…
"Yoshikawa… Thanks!"
Someday…
I'll be waiting…
