I Decided to Participate in a Lewd Game in My Dream Chapter 4   1510 Apr 01, 2018

This chapter is shorter than the previous one, but it was harder to translate because of the plot. I thought translating R-18 stuffs was hard, but it turns out that explaining the plot was harder. Well, I hope I get the message across. This is the last chapter for the week. See you in two days!

Next time I woke up, I didn't return to the pink room.

I could see the familiar ceiling of my room.

The morning sun entered the room through the curtain's gap, and my alarm was telling me to wake up with a sharp sound.

…I had a terribly embarrassing dream.

It was a real dream.

I clearly remembered the contents of my dream. It was a really erotic dream that I wanted to forget.

There were many problems in the content of the dream, but the characters of that dream were more than good.

"I don't have a dream about doing erotic things with my club members, no way…."

My tiredness didn't seem to go away and I didn't have any motivation. I crawled out of my bed, dragging my heavy body.

Today was Sunday. Classes were closed but there was practice with club members.

Our third graders who would retire from club activities after the next tournament were struggling to practice to spend their last club activities.

I also supported them as a manager.

This wasn't the time to see a dream filled with desire.

"I should wash my face quickly."

In order to change my feelings, I headed to the washroom and dressed up.

Like about 80% of high school students, I also went to school by train.

I changed clothes as usual, bundled my hair in a low ponytail, and waited for the train to come.

The train came into the station while making a loud noise.

It was still early Sunday. This train, which people used on weekdays, was vacant as it was a holiday.

It was good, an empty train.

While shaking away the memory of last night, I sat down on the vacant seat. Then,

"Oh, Shiro-chan."

"Kiiro-kun."

Coincidently, Kiiro-kun was in the same car.

After he greeted me, with a smile, he stood up and walked close to me.

"Good morning, Shiro-chan."

"Good morning. Today you're early, how rare."

Kiiro-kun had a loose concept about time. He was always the last to come to club activities which was on a holiday. There were also many days that he would come late.

"Oh, yeah, I woke up earlier than usual."

"Oh, I see. Couldn't sleep?"

"No, I could sleep. I could sleep but, how do I say this, it was the dream."

With the word dream, I also remembered my dream last night and my expression became cloudy.

"Did you see a bad dream?"

"No, it wasn't a bad dream, rather it was a good dream…but…"

The line of sight of Kiiro-kun who blushed a little bit, for a moment, I felt like it grazed my chest.

"It was a good dream, but it seemed to be a little problematic ethically."

Kiiro-kun told me as he turned his line of sight from me.

My cheek twitched when he said it was an ethically problematic dream.

Because I had just dreamed of an ethically problematic dream.

"Oh…yeah…I understand, somehow."

"Eh, you understand it?"

"Yeah…I'm not so sure I could say that it was an unpleasant dream, but I woke up incidentally because of that."

"Yeah, yeah! It's exactly like that!"

Kiiro-kun was nodding in agreement, and I breathed out a big sigh.

"With that kind of stress, I feel like I'm lacking sleep. The tiredness doesn't come off."

"It was painful that I couldn't get rid of the tiredness even though I slept. I have such feelings today."

"Is that true?"

"Yeah, my body felt especially heavy."

My shoulders felt stiff and I felt exhausted. The feelings of dullness couldn't disappear either.

I definitely thought that it was a strange dream.

My underwear felt terrible when I woke up, what a shameful dream.

When I stifled a yawn, Kiiro-kun frowned as he discovered something.

"Shiro-chan, on your neck, is there some dirt?"

"Where is it?"

"Here, on your neck."

Kiiro-kun said while pointing at something on my neck.

"Eh, what is this. I don't think it was dirty."

I tried rubbing it with my finger.

"Did that do it?"

"Hmm, not really. Maybe you should look in the mirror later?"

"There is a mirror. Wait a bit."

As expected, the compact mirror was in the bag.

After I took out the mirror, I opened it and checked my neck.

It was hard to see because it was hidden by my hair, but as Kiiro-kun said, there was a black dirt in the size of the tip of my little finger.

"Well, I wonder why, even if I rub it, I can't seem to make it disappear."

"Somehow, it looks like a bat wing."

"Really? I don't know where it came from."

"Why don't you wash it with water later?"

"Yeah, I will."

I didn't know what kind of dirt it was, but if I washed it with water it should disappear.

After that, Kiiro-kun and I headed to the club room together while talking about a funny story.

At that time, it was still an unchanged everyday life.

I thought it was strange somehow when everyone changed into swimming suits and came to the poolside.

The three people, Aka-kun, Ao-kun, and Kiiro-kun, were on good terms and had a good teamwork in the club.

Though they were always bright and lively, when they came out of the changing room, somehow they had brought a daunting air.

What happened?

Looking at the three guys in question, suddenly my eyes met Ao-kun's who raised his face.

"Ack!"

The moment our eyes met, Ao-kun raise a soundless scream, and then he slowly turned his eyes away from me.

Eh, what, that response just now.

I, did I do something to make Ao-kun avoided me?

It wasn't only Ao-kun who was strange, Aka-kun and Kiiro-kun were also watching me with awkward expressions.

They seemed to want to say something, I tilted my neck.

Even afterwards, the three people were somewhat strange.

Especially Ao-kun, not only was he clearly avoiding me, his time was drastically slower1.

Aka-kun and Kiiro-kun seemed to be in a bad state, and there was none of the usual ambition.

I was worried about what happened, and just before the end of the club activities, I was able to speak to Aka-kun.

"Shirai-san, I have something I want to talk about, do you have time after this?"

"Eh, yeah, it's okay."

"Well then, after club activities, meet me in front of the vending machine?"

"Sure."

"Okay, see you later!"

Aka-kun fluttered back and went back to the changing room to change his clothes.

But what was this story about?

Did it have something to do with the fact that the state of the three people was strange today?

When I finished tidying up, as promised, I headed to the vending machine.

In this place there were vending machines and benches side by side, and it was a small break space.

On weekdays, this place was always crowded during lunch break. But since today was holiday, this place was practically empty with only few people come and go.

When I arrived, on the bench, the three people, Aka-kun, Ao-kun, and Kiiro-kun, were talking about something with a serious look.

Eh. The one who wanted to talk, it wasn't just Aka-kun?

"Sorry to make you wait."

"Oh, Shiro-chan."

When I called out, Kiiro-kun looked up at me with a troubled expression.

To the strange air which was different from usual, I raised my eyebrows.

"Is it a serious story?"

"Yeah, it is serious and it seriously can't become known."

"It's a story about Shirai, too."

Following Aka-kun who seemed to be murmuring, Ao-kun told me with air of importance.

"There is a relation with me?"

"Yeah. Um, Shiro-chan. This is kinda hard to say, but didn't you see a strange dream last night?"

"Uhe!? W-why suddenly!"

Recalling the dream of last night, strange scream jumped out of my mouth.

"To put it more properly, it was a dream of playing Sugoroku in a pink room."

I felt as if my heart had shrunk at the words of Aka-kun.

That was exactly what I was seeing last night.

"W-why do you know it!"

Did Aka-kun had Satori's2 ability!?

"Ah-…that reaction, as expected you saw the same thing too."

"Wait a minute! What? Why? What do you mean 'as expected'?"

I was confused.

Why, why did last night's dream exposed?

Moreover, to those who shouldn't know it the most!

"Probably, we are also seeing the same dream."

"….Eh?"

In the words of Ao-kun who told me with a red face, the inside of my head turned white.

Wait a minute.

Did the same dream you saw, was the dream of last night?

"Well, that is, how far do you remember…?"

"Maybe from the beginning to the end, but even though Kiiro and I remember about the train, there is no memory after Shirai-san and Ao disappeared."

You remembered the train scene…?

"By the way, Ao-kun do you…"

"I remember everything."

To my question, Ao-kun looked away and his face turned red as he muttered the answer.

A-all of it?

That misfortune where I got naked and rubbed my body against Ao-kun, caught his penis between my crotch.

You remember it all?

"–I want to die."

If people could die from shame, I would already be dead.

Last night I was strange.

There was always the thought that it was a dream, since it was just a dream.

That's why I could do things I normally couldn't do.

Because it was a dream.

Dreams were what people see in their brains, and they couldn't be shared with anyone else.

It wasn't something to show!

I didn't want to show such things to other people!

Die. I will die right now from embarrassment.

"Oh well, Shiro-chan, I understand the feeling but don't get so down."

"Yeah, we're also embarrassed."

"It's not the same! Even when you think about it, it's not-!"

I shouted while covering my face with my hands.

My face felt so hot you could make fire from my face.

Someone kill me now.

"Um, it was nothing but good things. It was nice, Shiro-chan. You were cute."

"I looked foolish, what do you mean 'cute'…"

"Right, right. I didn't know Shirai-san could look so discomposed–"

"I don't want to remember! So please, delete your memories!"

What's this?

Was everyone planning to gang up on me and made me feel ashamed!?

I begged you to stop as I was about to die.

"Last night was pleasant. Shirai, and the others too, that dream was just a one-time thing. Let's forget about anything that has happened."

"Ao-kun..!"

As expected as the one with the most severe appearance. Even though I should have known about it, I was deeply moved by Ao-kun who didn't tease me.

That's true. It was probably just a one-time thing.

It was best to forget what had happened.

"But, it's not just a passing event. Shouldn't we discuss about that game?"

I was nodding my head in agreement, when Aka-kun's remarks stopped me.

"What do you mean, 'not just a passing event?"

"Aah–… How do I say this. We were caught in something like the Curse of Muma."

"Curse of Muma?"

When I asked back, Kiiro-kun frowned while answering with a lowered voice.

"I didn't notice until today when we changed into swimwears. On the four of us, there are strange bruises that look like bat wings."

"Bat wings…"

As he said that, I held the scruff of my neck.

The neck stain that was pointed out by Kiiro-kun this morning.

After that, even if I scrubbed it with water, the stain didn't fade at all.

"It is on the neck of Shiro-chan, right? The similar pattern is also on our bodies."

Kiiro-kun pulled his shirt and showed his stomach.

On the left side of Kiiro-kun's umbilicus, there was indeed the same pattern as the one on my neck.

"I have the same thing on my waist."

"Mine is on the right arm. This, do you think this is accidental?"

I see.

Everyone noticed it at the same time when they were changing, so that's why they had grim expressions.

"What do you think this mean?"

"I don't know, but what I can think of is that we will see the same kind of dream as yesterday."

"……Eh?"

Similar dream as yesterday, that was, erotic dreams like yesterday?

"You're lying, you're a liar, are you lying?"

"I didn't lie!"

"I want to say that you were lying, but there is a high possibility that it wasn't a lie."

"The condition to clear it that the Muma had said is to reach the goal. It also said that we couldn't escape from the dreams until then. That game, we haven't reach the goal yet."

I certainly awakened in the middle of the game.

So when I sleep tonight, that game would start again?

"The goal, huh. And we have only advanced seven squares."

Just by advancing seven squares, my HP was already closed to zero.

I didn't feel like I could endure until we reached the goal.

"Is it no good if I retire?"

"I understand Shirai-san's feelings very well. But I realized that it wasn't just a dream, and since the Muma's influence could affect the real world, I think it's better not to retire casually."

"What do you mean?"

As if they had already discussed about this before, the three people exchanged a look with each other, then Kiiro-kun opened his mouth as their representative.

"To start with, the Muma—that is, a demon whose existence is unfamiliar to us. It was said to appear in the middle of a dream, in order to impregnated the women it had sexual intercourse with, with a demon child. In the case of retiring, the Muma could do whatever they like inside of the dream, and I don't want to imagine if that influence extended to the reality."

"If it's true that it could devour our life energy, then it will result in our spirit being devoured, and we won't be able to resist."

I see.

If the Muma was real, there was a possibility that the risk from retiring might drew irreparable circumstances.

"In fact, the bodies of the three of us feel heavy today. I believe that it might be the after effects of the Muma ate a little bit of our life essence. What about Shirai? Is there any effect on your body?"

"The effect isn't to that extent, but it is true that there is a sense of tiredness that can't seem to be removed."

I had thought that it was because I had a strange dream, but was this the influence of the Muma eating my life essence?

It made me want to scream that my dream would affect my body.

"From that, we judged that it would be better not to retire as much as possible."

"…Yeah, you may be right."

I also nodded in the words of Aka-kun.

However, thinking about the contents of the game made me feel depressed. It was very embarrassing.

I wished I could feel relieved that it was just a dream, but I knew that this dream was shared with Aka-kun and the others.

From now on, what should I do?

"Ah, that, we are lucky about various of things since we are men. But it will be difficult for Shiro-chan."

"There are three men, while there is only one woman. Shirai-san has to face all the burdens by herself."

Aka-kun and Kiiro-kun looked at me in sympathy.

"…Then, we have no choice but to play the game?"

Honestly, I felt fairly uneasy.

I couldn't help wondering until when do I have to follow the instructions of the game, and what would happen.

"If we reach the goal, there is a possibility that we can be released from the Muma. I don't know how much of that is true, only that the Muma said so."

"At the same time, we should look for a way to deal with the Muma, see if there is a way to purify the dreams, so the dreams won't affect the reality."

After Ao-kun said that, Aka-kun looked at me as if to encouraged me.

"We will cooperate as much as we can so that Shirai-san will not be burdened, so let's do our best together."

The direction where we would do our best was erotic, but I had to be satisfied with that.

Then, there was no choice but to play, my stomach tied in knots at that thought.
