Dream Drops and Star Flowers Chapter 1
Dream Drops and Star Flowers Chapter 1
It’s been three months since I entered Maika High School in April, and I’ve become quite familiar with both school and class. She attended the same high school as Ichinomiya and was in the same class. She has been in the same school since she was in elementary school and occasionally in the same class. She was secretly soaring when she could be in the same class.
As soon as I get to the classroom, I head to my desk. My seat was at the back of the window. It was my favorite seat, but lately the sun was so strong that I couldn’t wait to change seats.
I’m the type who comes to school early, and there were only about 10 students in the classroom. He was among those ten or so.
His seat is in front of the window. He sits in that seat and talks to a friend who stands opposite the desk. Everyone in the class knows that he has brown hair and looks a bit chara, but he has a sense of responsibility. He looks like that and is the class president. He puts his hand on his ear and puts his elbow on the desk. cool.
Normally, when I put my bag on the desk, I go to talk to a friend named Misa Watanabe, who sits near him. She would say “good morning” to him at that time, but when she remembered her dream this morning, she couldn’t get close to him.
For a moment, I stood still and worried, and eventually decided to sit down at my seat.
During class, the backs of the four people in front of me got in the way and I could only see his head, but now I can see his back. I feel like he can be seen all the time. But next time, thinking that the seat next to me would be good, I was looking at his back for a while, and he was sitting in the seat and talking with his friends, and he looked back and looked at me. Then I leave my seat and walk towards me. The closer he got to me, the faster his chest seemed to beat.
what? what? what? Why are you coming here? I’m panicking in my head.
As it was, he came straight to my eyes.
“What’s wrong?” He said and looked into my face.
“What? What’s wrong?” His face stiffened and his eyes swam.
“No, you’re always talking to Watanabe. Did you have a fight?” He said and turned his gaze toward Misa.
“No, it’s not.”
“Then it’s fever?” He tried to touch my forehead. I couldn’t stand the embarrassment and shook his hand.
When I was in elementary school, I used to say “don’t touch”, even if it was a joke, but now … I really shake it off.
A voice of regret leaked from my mouth. Even so, he coldly said, “Because it’s okay.”
“Oh yeah,” he said, and he went back to his seat and seemed to start chatting with his friends again.
I’ve done it. This is also due to a dream. The sounds around me seemed to go away. Will he really confess if he does something like this? I was worried that the future would change.
Future Sight has one drawback. If the future is not as predicted, it will lose its ability to predict. This was a story I heard from her grandmother. Her grandmother was also able to predict the future. It seems that her grandmother wasn’t in the form of a dream of precognition, but that the future one minute ahead came to her mind.
About 20 years ago, when my grandmother was 62 years old, she predicted that her grandfather would have a car accident. At that time her grandmother was walking along the sidewalk with her grandfather, and she predicted that her grandfather would be run over by a car at the pedestrian crossing where they were heading. So her grandmother told her grandfather about it, and the two chose a path that didn’t go through the pedestrian crossing they had seen in precognition. As a result, the foreseen car accident did not occur and her grandfather was saved, but her grandmother lost her predictive ability.
When she told me the story, my grandmother also said:
“You can change what you have predicted, but only once. If you change it, you will lose your ability to predict. Use that once to help your loved one.”
So I can’t use that one time in the future when he confesses to me. Because this is a happy future. I can’t change it. Her grandmother changed her precognition and did not regret losing her precognition. I don’t want to regret if I change my prediction.
It may have been a terrible mistake to shake his hand. She decided not to hit him too hard from now on. I also want to get along well enough to go to the fireworks display together.
Six days have passed since I thought so. July 19th. It’s summer vacation from tomorrow. I was a little relieved because I thought it would be two weeks before the fireworks display, but I completely forgot about the summer vacation. I don’t even see him during the summer vacation.
I haven’t promised to go see the fireworks together yet. It’s been before, and he won’t invite me anymore. If you don’t go to the fireworks together, you can’t confess in that scene. Then I lose the ability of precognition.
I sighed.
Today is the only time to invite fireworks. I apologize for the last time and invite you to fireworks from here. There is only that.
It was a time when I decided to do so while walking down the road to school. I heard a car horn nearby. I felt like the world was in slow motion. Her thoughts couldn’t keep up and she just thought she would die.
At that time, someone pulled my left arm. The next moment, the speed of the world was back to normal, and I saw a light truck passing by in front of me.
“It’s dangerous! You’re stupid!”
I heard a loud voice nearby and trembled. Looking back, he was there. While I was attending school, I tried to cross the road without traffic lights without looking around, and it seemed that he helped me there.
“I’m sorry,” he said and looked up at him, and he was a little out of breath.
Looking at him, I remembered that this had happened before.
When I was in elementary school, I once grabbed my hand when I was about to fall into the river and helped me. Like now.
That was the reason I fell in love with him.
Go to school with him. She apologized for the last time and was planning to invite her to the fireworks, but she apologized one more time. The plan suddenly failed, and the footsteps were heavy.
On the way to school, he always walked on the side of the road. He is pleased with his kindness, but he looks down on his apologies. He realizes that it is dangerous if he does not look ahead and walk a little, and raises his face. But after a while he’s down again. He did it several times. Meanwhile, he decided to apologize.
“Hey”
“Hmm?” He who was walking half a step ahead turns to this side.
“That … I’m sorry”
“Okay. You apologized earlier, didn’t you?”
“Yeah, but today and before.”
“What happened before?”
“You shook your hand in the classroom the other day, didn’t you?”
“Oh, that’s because I was bad. Don’t worry.”
“Yes”
The school gate was already visible. You can also see a student guidance teacher standing in front of the school gate, always keeping an eye on the students who are late. It’s not time to be late yet.
“Be careful, rather than that. I’ve been saying this since I was a kid.”
“I know”
“Did you not understand? I’m sorry, thank you. At times like this?”
“Yeah … I’m sorry … but thank you.”
“Then, thank you for going to see the fireworks with me next time.”
“e?”
“Thank you, so don’t decline.”
Was delighted. And I thought the dream of precognition was true. I hid my heart and just said, “OK,” as if it couldn’t be helped. I was so happy that I was almost grinning, but I desperately restrained my mouth from rising so that I wouldn’t get caught. The gait becomes lighter. I have to fix this place where I can’t be honest.
The day of the fireworks display. She had a hard time choosing clothes to wear for the fireworks display since the beginning of summer vacation. I couldn’t remember the clothes I was wearing in that dream.
After all, three days before the fireworks display, he called me and told me that I wanted to see a yukata, so I decided to wear a yukata.
“Well, it’s beautiful. It’s just like when my mom was young.”
My mother was dressing me in the Japanese-style room on the first floor. A yukata with a goldfish drawn in indigo, it was her mother’s sacrifice. It seems that he wore it when he went to a fireworks display with her father when he was young. Even now, the design is not old-fashioned at all, and it was a very cute yukata.
“Have you ever changed your precognition?”
My mother, who is tightening the obi behind me, glances at me in anticipation.
“I don’t have it yet”
“is that so”
The obi was tightened tightly. It seems that he’s been doing various things behind me after that, but I can’t see it from here. After a while, my mother appeared from behind. And she finally goes around me to smooth out the wrinkles in her yukata.
“Yes, I’m done.”
It seems that my appearance in the mirror is mature and not myself. A red belt shines in her indigo yukata.
“You can see such a cute girl in a yukata, and you don’t need to change your prediction.”
I feel confident in my mother’s words. Try holding a purse in front of her mirror and twisting her body to see her back.
“Did you change your predictions and make a boyfriend?” Said the mother standing next to her.
“No! The opposite! I had a dream of precognition to be confessed.”
“Well, it’s okay to be young.”
My mother puts her hand on her mouth and looks at me with a glance. It seems that he has some nasty imagination.
“It ’s okay! I ’m going.”
“Come on, it’s no good if you’re late.”
I left the house as if to jump out. I was meeting with him in front of the stone steps leading to the hill. It was about 3 minutes walk from my house. When you walk with clogs, you can hear the sound of a tree and feel comfortable. No one but me was heading in the same direction. I think everyone is going to the festival.
The stride I walked with geta was narrower than usual, and it took about 5 minutes to reach the meeting place. He was already waiting there in a yukata. The gap between his light brown hair and his black yukata is so cool that his chest is throbbing.
Such a meeting was a dream. Imagine, “Wait?” And he replies, “I’m here.” A classic imagination. I decided to make that dream come true.
“waited?”
It was awkward though it was only 3 letters. And the voice is quiet.
“No, I’m here now. Yukata is cute.”
I couldn’t imagine the word cute, and my face got so hot that I thought it might catch fire. Even so, I couldn’t keep being told, “Isn’t that too good?” I really wanted to say it was really cool. I couldn’t say it after all. I can’t be honest at all.
He looked annoyed, but immediately smiled and extended his hand, “Let’s go.” He was embarrassed and shy, and although his inner feelings were squeaky, he intended to pretend not to be a big deal. However, although he tried to take his hand, he could not take it easily. Then he squeezed my hand at the end. His hand was very big. Then I was a little sweaty. But he wasn’t sick at all. Imagine if it was because of the heat, or if he was a little nervous, and it seemed that his tension was a little relaxed.
Two people go up the stone steps, which may have 100 steps. The width of the stone steps is just enough for two people to walk side by side. The distance has shortened further with nature. There are many stone outdoor lights on the right side of the stone steps at regular intervals, and the atmosphere is so fantastic that it makes you feel that there is another world beyond the stone steps. You can hear the sounds of insects from the surrounding forest, which makes you feel the atmosphere of a summer night. And the sound of two clogs goes through it.
“It’s amazing here. It’s like this at night,” he said, looking at the streetlights lined up.
“Yes”
This place was a familiar place to me. I’ve only come in the daytime, but I heard from my parents that this outdoor light is beautiful at night.
After walking for a few minutes, my view opened and I reached the summit. The top is about the size of a tennis court and has a lawn all over. And there is a small flower field in one corner. I’m familiar with the daytime scene, but at night the atmosphere changed completely. I think it would have been scary without him because it was dark.
What I had in that precognition dream was a fence overlooking the city. Maybe over there. A fence made of wood about the size of my thigh is installed at a height of about 20 meters around the waist. Around the center.
Naturally, their feet were heading for the place.
“Beautiful” The words leaked unintentionally.
Looking down on the city from the hill, I saw the lights of the stalls and lanterns leaking through the gaps between the trees. It is a night view with light, which is rare in such a small town.
“Did you want to go to the food stalls?”
“Yeah. Fireworks are enough.”
I was really full of fireworks. I’m happy to be able to go around the food stalls together, but I think I’m nervous and my heart doesn’t have it. Fireworks are enough for now. If I confess as I foresaw it, I will definitely give OK. At that time, I will definitely be honest. Then you can go to another fireworks display or festival and go around the food stalls.
“It’s about to start”
He looked at his smartphone watch, and after a while, a big round firework spread out in his sight with a bang.
It was beautiful. Although it was smaller than the fireworks I had dreamed of, it was more powerful to actually see them. Maybe it was because I couldn’t hear anything other than his voice in my dreams.
“Wow,” he mutters and looks here. The eyes met. He is thrilled that he may be confessed now.
But he turned to the fireworks again. I also look at fireworks. The Otomi River Fireworks Festival lasts about an hour and a half every year, and 20,000 fireworks are launched. And the last fireworks display is the famous fireworks display.
Starting with one firework, various fireworks were launched. Certainly amazing. I should be watching it every year, but I am surprised every year.
There were also cute fireworks such as smiley emoji-like fireworks and green and red fireworks like watermelon cut in half. Another firework ball rises to the sky through the wide open fireworks. And the fireworks open at a higher position. The contrast between high and low is beautiful.
There were fireworks of various colors, and there were fireworks of various sounds. Fireworks that make various sounds such as bangs, crackles, and jars like showers. The sound of fireworks rising in rhythm was like music.
In the middle of the game, there were so many fireworks in a row that the sound of fireworks launching and the sound of fireworks opening dong overlapped. I was overwhelmed by the amount of light. The sky was full of light, just like in the daytime.
Two people lined up for about an hour and a half and enjoyed the fireworks. But as time went by after the fireworks started, I was wondering when I would be confessed. A glimpse of his face, brightening and darkening with the light of fireworks. It’s a waste to not be able to enjoy such beautiful fireworks purely. But if the fireworks are over, I will lose my ability to predict. And you may not be able to help your loved ones in the future. When I thought so, my spine was chilling even in the heat of summer.
The fireworks are about to end. It makes me feel that way because the fireworks that once converged are rising to gain momentum again. At the end, it seems that he is trying to make a big flower bloom. It’s about time for the last four-shoulder ball to rise.
I noticed at that time. If I didn’t confess to him, I wouldn’t just lose my predictive ability, but I wouldn’t go out with him. I don’t like that. I love him. So I hoped. I prayed for fireworks as I wished for a shooting star. Say he likes him like in a dream. I know it’s an arrogant request. I wonder if he didn’t like me like a dream because he was always cold. With impatience, various ideas are solicited.
At that time, I heard the sound of a big fireworks being launched. This is surely the sound of the last fireworks. He is still looking up at the sky. He sincerely hopes. Please turn to me.
