"Escher?" Niwa's eyes were full of confusion. "Who is that?"

In this dream...isn't there any Dotorei?

Yes, after all, it’s just a beautiful dream, how can there be more to it?

The curious person laughed, and laughed happily.

He didn't know why he was laughing. Maybe he was thinking how nice it would be if there was no Dotorei in reality.

"Qingqi...are you sick?"

Niwa looked at the curious person with a worried look on his face.

The curious person was very abnormal today. He was crying and laughing at the same time, and even asked a question about someone who didn't exist at all.

It's broken, right?

"No, not really. Qingqi is just very happy."

The curious one looked up at Niwa with a bright smile on his face.

I'm just glad to see you again.

"It's okay."

Niwa chuckled and didn't pursue the matter any further.

Looking at Niwa, the curious person was in a trance.

Is this really a dream?

Why did Niwa feel so real to him?

Soon they arrived at their workplace.

As usual, Niwa first made a large pot of tea for the curious, and then started to forge iron with the people in the sand-breaking work.

The curious man sat there staring at Niwa without blinking, and didn't even notice that the tea in his hand had gone cold.

He seemed to want to imprint this moment in his mind forever.

During the break, Niwa took out the handkerchief he carried with him and wiped the sweat off his body.

"What's wrong with Qingqi? Is the tea not tasty?"

Niwa felt something was wrong when he was working just now. The curious person kept looking at him and didn't even drink a sip of tea.

But he usually drinks all the time.

"No, nothing. The tea is delicious."

The curious person came to his senses and quickly drank the tea in his hand.

At the same time, he was secretly annoyed in his heart. This was the tea that Niwa made for him, but he actually forgot to drink it.

"Okay, the Qingqi is cold now. Don't drink it or you'll get an upset stomach."

Niwa stepped forward and collected the remaining tea.

The curious person looked at the tea in Niwa's hand reluctantly.

Even though it's not tasty now that it's completely cold, it's the tea that Niwa brewed!

Niwa had been gone for quite a while, so long that even those who were curious about the world couldn't help but want to go look for him.

He finally got to meet Niwa, and he didn't want to be separated from him for a moment.

Just when the curious guy was about to get up and look for him, Niwa finally came back.

"Come on, Qingqi, let's go home."

After hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the curious person.

"Niwa, you're not working anymore?"

"No, can I stay with Qingqi today?" Niwa said softly.

"okay!"

The curious one nodded heavily, his face full of excitement.

Back at the house, Niwa went into the kitchen and started making rice balls, with the curious one helping him.

Originally, Niwa wanted to do it alone, but the curious man insisted on helping, so Niwa had no choice but to let him do it.

Near noon, they finally finished making the rice balls.

Niwa wrapped the rice balls and prepared a lot of water and stuffed it into a package.

"Niwa, why are you wrapping these up?"

The curious one tilted his head and looked at the busy Niwa.

Niwa thought about it carefully and replied, "Well, I think Qingqi seems very unhappy. Can I take you out for a walk?"

"okay."

Seeing the happy look on the curious face, Niwa curled up the corners of his mouth into a gentle smile.

This sudden preparation was naturally not for taking Qingqi on a trip, but Niwa felt that Qingqi's behavior was a little abnormal.

But his body is special, so he is probably not sick, but possessed by evil spirit.

So he decided to take the curious to Haiqi Island for a look.

I heard that the human-god priestess there has special abilities and may be able to help those who are curious.

As for why we didn't go to Narukami Island...

But the strange man doesn't care about these. As long as he can be with Niwa, why not go anywhere?

Besides, he has never traveled with Niwa.

After Niwa packed all his luggage, he put on his backpack, held the hand of the curious, and slowly walked towards the west.

Along the way, they looked no different from ordinary people.

When the sun is shining, they will happily walk together in the clear stream, splashing crystal clear water; when passing by dense forests, they will stop to pick ripe wild fruits and taste the sweet taste given by nature; when night falls and the stars are shining, they will lie side by side on the soft grass, looking up at the vast starry sky, counting the bright stars, as if time has stopped at this moment.

As for the curious one, he clung to Niwa like an innocent child, begging him to do together the things that he had not been able to do before due to various reasons.

Time and again, although Niwa had some concerns in his heart, after all, the supplies they carried were really limited, but every time he saw the curious man's expectant eyes and heard his earnest request, Niwa's heart always softened involuntarily, and in the end he could not bear to refuse, and could only let the curious man have fun to his heart's content.

Looking at the face of the curious person filled with a happy smile, Niwa suddenly felt that perhaps there was no need to go to Haiqi Island to seek medical treatment.

Perhaps it's because I don't care enough about him on a daily basis and ignore his true feelings deep in his heart, so this curious person would use this method to attract my attention?

Thinking of this, Niwa couldn't help but feel a wave of guilt welling up in his heart.

Therefore, he decided to let go of his original anxiety and stop urging the curious person to speed up his journey. Instead, he accompanied him wholeheartedly and enjoyed this rare time to the fullest.

In this way, their original goal of going to Haiqi Island to see a doctor has quietly changed into a real journey without them noticing.

"Hey Niwa, can you stay with me forever?"

In the tent at night, the curious man hugged Niwa beside him and spoke softly.

After not hearing any response from Niwa for a long time, the curious person felt a little scared. He looked up and found that Niwa had fallen asleep without him knowing when.

After playing with the curious one for a whole day, even though Niwa was a blacksmith, he was so tired that he fell asleep.

But...isn't this a dream?

The curious person felt dazed for a moment, and it felt a little unreal.

The Niwa in front of him felt so real, it didn't seem like a dream.

If he hadn't been able to feel the tiredness coming from the depths of his soul, the curious person would really feel like he had traveled through time again.

"How long can I maintain this dream..."

The curious one murmured softly and fell asleep in Niwa's arms.

Niwa opened his eyes and looked down at the curious one, "Brother..."

This is just a dream. He can take the curious person around to play and satisfy the regret in his heart.

But... he couldn't give any promises to the curious...

Because he couldn't make it...

If it can't be achieved, then don't make a promise. He doesn't want to deceive him, even in a dream.

The curious person opened his eyes and looked around habitually.

They have been sleeping together during the trip.

But this time there was no one around.

"Niwa!"

The curious one stood up suddenly.

Is the dream over?

How could it happen so suddenly? I could obviously still hold on for a while.

The curious one covered his head with his hands, looking somewhat painful.

The soul is getting tired...

"Qingqi, are you awake?"

Niwa opened the tent and smiled.

"Get up when you wake up. I made fish soup for you."

When he saw Niwa's face, the curious man's expression relaxed.

"Okay Niwa."

He thought the dream was over, even though he hadn't said goodbye to Niwa properly yet...
