I’m dreaming.

Someone once told me that dreams are a way of organizing our memories.

I see. The scene I’m looking at now is indeed somewhat familiar.

It’s just that it’s very hazy and unclear.

Thanks to this, it’s hard to determine if this is really what I experienced.

However, I can say this with certainty.

I must never forget this dream.

………………

…………

……

I reach out my hand.

It was almost an unconscious act…

In the endless, boundless darkness… a girl sits alone, staring into the void.

I was staring at her.

There is no light in her eyes, only a dark sorrowful color.

Her long silver hair spreads over the dark earth, and her translucent white skin looks stunning even though she is in the middle of nowhere.

This is the inside of her mind… or rather, her memories themselves.

I connected with her heart at the moment when my life was being destroyed.

The girl, sitting alone in the bottomless darkness, was so sad and beautiful.

I was not conscious of it. I was simply moved by her charm.

My hand gently rested on her shoulder.

The girl gave a small reaction and looked up at me.

But when she turned around, her eyes were empty and inorganic, like the purple crystal amethyst of a jewel.

◆◇◆◇◆

A night passed as I lay with Demiurge.

I woke up in the dim forest, where the sun had just begun to rise.

Yesterday, I accepted her love and made up my mind to walk with her for the rest of my life, but then Demiurge pushed me down, and then……

However, I have not the slightest regret.

It’s probably because I made up my mind.

In fact, I am so happy that I was able to make love to Demiurge.

The lingering heat from the moment I connected with her still lingered in me like a lingering fever, and it filled my heart.

If I move my gaze slightly, I can see Demiurge’s sleeping face still using my arm as a pillow, and the muscles in my face relax. My arm is slightly numb, but even that is a pleasant stimulus at the moment.

The beauty of her sleeping face, combined with her innocence, makes me feel like my body is about to react again.

But as expected, I don’t want to attack my sleeping partner.

Yesterday was the first time for both of us, and we were both very excited.

I should probably refrain from putting too much pressure on her body.

Still, I use my free hand to touch her bangs and her soft cheek.

She wriggled around ticklishly, but suddenly caught my hand and pulled me closer to her happily.

My body temperature rises slightly at that.

I decided that my reasoning was going to collapse, so I adjusted my eyelids to try and get some sleep.

Then, perhaps unexpectedly, my body was still suffering from yesterday’s fatigue, and my consciousness was soon overtaken by slumber.

I slowly let go of my consciousness, but until the very end, I could still feel the presence of Demiurge on my skin.

◆◇◆◇◆

“Hmm… hmm~!”

I woke up again just as the sun was rising high in the sky.

It seems that the encounter with Demiurge after the battle with Titan the other day has taken a toll on my body.

I woke up much later than usual.

I looked over and saw that Demiurge, who was supposed to be standing next to me, was also gone.

This made me feel a little sad.

I thought that I would take the time to deepen my relationship with Demiurge and learn to like her… but I think that my love for her will come much sooner than I imagined.

Well, that in itself is not a bad thing, and it’s not something to be overly concerned about.

Now, I haven’t washed my body since I came back to the forest, and I sweated a lot yesterday.

I’ll wash up first, and then eat.

I can look for Demiurge after that. I have a good idea where she might be.

Besides, I don’t want to meet her in a smelly, dirty state.

Why do I have to be so self-conscious about my appearance?

…I think I’m going to completely fall for her if I keep this up…

Imagining a slightly scary future, I cleaned myself off with gusto and ate the Holy Apples that grew in clusters around the fountain to restore my hunger and strength.

After putting on my clothes, I left the fountain and started walking in search of Demiurge.

I was headed for the field of white flowers, where the seeds of the World Tree were.

I’m sure she’s there.

I walked through the familiar forest and headed for my destination.

Sure enough, Demiurge was there, just as I had expected.

In the center of the square, where white flowers spread out like a carpet, on a small hill, a girl with eye-catching long silver hair is crouched quietly.

Ahead of her gaze, there is a glowing crystal-like object floating in the air.

That is the seed of the world tree, the hope of this world.

For a while, I was captivated by the sight of Demiurge smiling kindly at the seed.

I couldn’t take my eyes off the composition of the white flower garden surrounding me and the beautiful girl smiling in the center of it.

It was as if I was looking at a painting.

Suddenly, however, Demiurge noticed me and turned her face to me.

Instantly, she smiled a beautiful smile with vermilion on her cheeks, a different kind of smile from the one she had on the World Tree.

Immediately, my heart started beating clearly and my blood flowed faster.

Thanks to this, my face turned a huge shade of red.

And then, Demiurge approached me. She ran down the hill, shaking the white flowers.

“Good morning, husband.”

“Good morning, Demiurge.”

“Umu. It’s a beautiful day. The seeds seem to be enjoying it.”

“I see. Then, I must hunt down the demons today and gather mana so that the World Tree can grow into a great tree as soon as possible.”

“Umu, I’ll be counting on you, Master. But that’s not it…”

Demiurge leaned in close to me and looked up at me with eyes like purple crystal amethysts.

She put her arms around my neck and stood on her tiptoes.

“Chu…”

She kissed me on the lips.

“Fufu… good morning again, husband. A husband and wife must begin their morning with a kiss.”

She smiled devilishly at me, which made my face even hotter.

“From now on, you will always kiss me at the beginning of each day, and I will not tolerate any objections, husband. Fufu…”

Demiurge seemed to be in a good mood.

I scratched my cheeks, feeling embarrassed by her words, but also feeling my heart fill with joy.
