"Looks nice." Naoki nodded with satisfaction "Verification was successful."
Using the ability of the dream anchor point, it is very possible to enter the specified dream world. From now on, the dream world will not only be a one-time adventure, but a different world that can enter and exit seven times.
"Mother is in the ward."
After a moment of confusion, the Quintuplets gathered at the door of the ward.
Seeing a familiar figure sitting on the bed in the ward, bathed in sunlight, the mist in Itsuki's eyes instantly dimmed.
"What should we do now?"
"I really saw mother."
"What identity should we use to meet mother..."
Nino and the others were still discussing outside the door, and Itsuki had already pushed open the door and rushed into the ward.
The woman sitting on the hospital bed turned her head.
"Itsuki, you are too impulsive!"
Other sisters followed.
Naoki walked to the end and closed the door, blocking the curious glances of passers-by.
Itsuki?
The woman was a little surprised, and looked at Itsuki who was crying in her arms, her eyes fell on the shell hair ornament on Itsuki's hair, and she lightly rubbed her finger twice, "This shell hair accessory?"
At this moment, there was no point in hiding one's identity, and besides, there was no intention to hide it.
"Mom, I'm Ichika." Ichika knelt beside the bed, her voice unbelievably gentle.
Nino prevented the tears in his eyes from falling: "Mom, I..."
"You are Nino." A smile appeared on the woman's face, and then her eyes met Miku and Yotsuba, "You are Miku and Yotsuba… Even though they have changed a lot, Mother still recognizes them."
It's too much! Several years later, his daughter would be identifiable at a glance.
I also want to study.
Seeing their mother who had been together since childhood again, the Quintuplets clearly couldn't calm down. Even Nino who was always strong, had bloodshot eyes, let alone Yotsuba and Itsuki, both of them were crying with tears in their eyes, and almost pulled the blanket off.
"Don't cry." The woman touched their heads one by one and changed the subject, "…Why did you suddenly get bigger?"
"Because..."
Itsuki was ready to tell the truth.
"Because we are from a parallel world 16 years later." Ichika took up the topic, "Currently traveling in another world."
The mother in front of her was unbelievably real, and she could even feel the temperature in her hands. Compared to a dream, she was more willing to treat it as a parallel world.
"Travel to another world?"
Rena looked confused.
"That's right." Nino wiped his eyes, "Just like Steins;Gate, it's an anime mom really likes, we're all from a parallel world."
Rena raised her hand to cover her forehead "Did someone find a time machine 6 years later?"
"It's not a machine, it's an Esper." Yotsuba explained, "Asakawa-san is very strong."
Standing in the corner, Naoki stepped forward, bowed and saluted: "Hello Aunt, I am Asakawa Naoki, this is our first time meeting, please give me more advice."
Rena seemed to recognize Naoki, and said in a soft voice:
"Naoki is the boy who suddenly appeared to save me and then disappeared suddenly?"
It is really recognizable... The person in the dream can still maintain the consciousness of the last dream?
Or is it actually a function of his own subconscious?
In this way, it really could be considered a different world...
Naoki thought in his heart, but his face was calm, and he bowed: "This is the first time traveling before, and I have no experience, it caused trouble for Aunt."
Rena smiled gently: "It's too late auntie to thank you. If there wasn't Naoki-kun, I should have died by now."
"Mother..."
Itsuki screamed and there were tears in his eyes again.
Rena stroked Itsuki's hair, and her smile was still gentle: "I'm very happy to meet you when you grow up... By the way, in a parallel world, what's your relationship with Naoki?"
"Classmate."
"Private tutor."
"A very good friend."
"Teacher?" Rena's eyes narrowed slightly, and she suddenly had the same serious aura as Mafuyu. "In 6 years, you should be in the second grade of high school, right?"
Yotsuba nodded: "That's right."
"So... How's your score?"
The atmosphere suddenly calmed down.
Things like value, like social animal wages, were information that shouldn't be disclosed to the outside world. Don't ask for it as soon as you show up!
"It ..."
The smile on the Yotsuba's face hardened.
Itsuki looked down at his toes.
Nino smiled and walked to the window, becoming the famous painting "You talk, I will go to the window to see the scenery".
Can not talk.
No matter what she thought, she couldn't say it!
If you find out that many subjects have zero marks on the test, you will be angry. Serious mom is so scary!
"Sorry..."
Yotsuba bowed to apologize.
A hand reached out and tapped the Yotsuba's shoulder lightly, Naoki said:
"Yotsuba sports have achieved very good results, and are currently planning to represent the school in county basketball competitions. Ichika is very good at liberal arts and very good at English, Miku could be a history teacher..."
Naoki turned to look at Itsuki: "Itsuki is working hard."
"Outrageous." Itsuki complained. "Why did I get such an evaluation!"
"Don't worry, Auntie." Naoki said firmly, "They have made great progress."
Test scores range from zero points to several tenths. To say that they have made great progress, and there is no problem at all.
"Good." Rena nodded lightly on the hospital bed, didn't ask any further, and sighed, "Itsuki and the others when they were little… learn slowly."
Translate, it means not very smart, right?
Not to mention when they were little, they weren't smart now either, and the test scores were below all grades, who would believe if they were smart!
"When they were three years old, I taught them the multiplication formula, and it took them half a month to learn…"
"Mom, don't talk about childhood anymore!"
"Multiplication formula, Now read backwards."
"We are no longer children."
During the conversation, the ward door was pushed open. Little Quintuplets with the same appearance, even the same hairstyle, lined up to enter, schoolbags slung over their shoulders, they must have just come back from school.
Seeing themselves as children, the Quintuplets felt very strange...
"Onii-chan!"
The little girl walking in front saw Naoki, ran over happily: "Onii-chan has appeared again!"
"...I'm back."
Naoki looked down and carefully distinguished them.
Not.
The Quintuplets were unrecognizable when they were younger, and Naoki was completely unable to recognize who was who.
"Itsuki, don't bother Onii-chan."
Another little girl screamed.
"I do not."
Itsuki replied in the form of a little girl.
Another little girl said, "You just finished eating meat buns and didn't wash your hands."
Naoki looked at Itsuki.
It turned out that she liked to eat meat buns since she was a child. After all these years, Naoki has never seen her bored!
Naoki stretched out his hand and said "Why does Itsuki like to eat meat buns?"
Little Itsuki had a good impression of Naoki, and she would answer any question: "Because I..."
"Don't ask me weird questions!" Itsuki blushed and waved his fist threateningly.
"Don't bully Onii-chan."
Little Itsuki opened his arms and stood in front of Naoki.
Itsuki was in a very strange mood, apparently feeling like she and herself were fighting over a man.
"All of you come here."
Rena made a gesture, called out to a few little girls and then explained the current situation.
"Eh, what will we look like when we grow up?"
"Oppai are really big."
"That's a big ass too."
"I thought it would be different when I grew up, but only the hairstyle is different?"
A little girl looks at Ichika: "You are me when you grow up?"
"That's right." Ichika nodded "I am Ichika six years later."
Little Ichika bit her lower lip: "Why are you losing your hair?"
"Even if you ask that..." Ichika looked at his childhood self, "One always has to grow up."
Another little girl raised her chin proudly: "My hair hasn't changed since I grew up."
Naoki looked at Nino.
Among the Quintuplets, the only one whose hairstyle hasn't changed since childhood is Nino.
"Onii-chan." Little Nino suddenly looked up, "Have I fulfilled my promise in the future?"
Naoki was surprised: "What?"
"Of course marry Onii-chan." Little Nino said with a serious expression, "The doctor said that mother's body has recovered, I said that as long as mother recovers, I will marry Onii-chan."
Nino covered his forehead: "A promise made when I was young, can't be true. "
"I'm serious." Little Nino's expression was serious, "Mom taught us since childhood that we must keep our promises as humans. Now that mom is in good health, you really want to break the contract."
Nino:😐"
She was fed up with his childhood self, and his mood was complicated.
"Nino is too much." Little Itsuki ran and hugged Naoki "Onii-chan is mine."
"Ara ara." Ichika raised her hand to cover her mouth "I just found out that Itsuki was very possessive when she was little."
"Everyone don't fight." Little Ichika stood up and said, "Let's marry Onii-chan together, and we will be together forever in the future."
Miku said quietly beside her, "Ichika was very smart when she was young."
Ichika: "😐"
....
When they opened their eyes again, there was a faint morning light on the horizon.
Looking at the foggy roof of the apartment, Naoki was slightly dazed.
The feeling of being immersed in a dream world is too strong, when one first wakes up, it is easy for people not to distinguish between dreams and reality.
Consciousness gradually returned to consciousness.
Naoki quickly felt that someone was lying beside him.
The smell of the shampoo and shower gel mixture on the girl's body was very pleasant, and warm breaths sounded between her neck, making her slightly itchy.
Naoki suddenly remembered a question on the Internet.
How does it feel to wake up and find a beautiful girl lying in your arms?
He could answer now.
Feeling unwell.
Very uncomfortable.
Who knows how long Itsuki's arm had been pressed and Naoki's blood couldn't circulate. Pain, numbness, and pain right now, it's so uncomfortable!
As we all know, sleeping with someone's arm pressed is not only painful and numb, but if the situation is serious, you will get really sick.
There is a medical condition called honeymoon paralysis, it means that one side rests on the other arm for a long time, it will compress the nerves and cause radical nerve damage. The characteristic symptom is wrist drooping.
At this time, Naoki strongly suspected that his arm had been ripped off.
Itsuki?
Naoki pushed Itsuki into his arms and wanted to pull his arm out.
Itsuki opened his eyes in a daze, glanced at Naoki blankly, then raised one foot on Naoki, and continued to sleep soundly.
