Chapter 21: Even in Dreams, What Shouldn't Be Done, Shouldn't Be Done (2)
* * *
Currently, Bi Wol was in a very bad mood.
Not only had she fallen asleep during an intimate meal with Master, but when she regained consciousness, there was a man with a puffed-up body before her eyes.
"Young hero, I am Namgung Hyeon of the Namgung Family. Your skills are so renowned that there's no one in the central martial world who doesn't know of them. It's an honor to meet such an outstanding martial artist."
A man making a fist salute while looking at Bi Wol. Though his face was quite handsome, it was unpleasant because he seemed to resemble her master.
"Why don't you get rid of that anchovy head face?"
"...Pardon?"
Bi Wol immediately launched criticism at the incubus who had transformed into a member of the Namgung Family. A rough estimation had shown her something.
"You, for someone claiming to be a sword-wielding martial artist, you have no calluses or twisted marks on your hands, and even if you use fist techniques, you don't have dumpling-like deformities on your ears, and your frequently used muscles aren't developed."
She didn't even need to judge with qi sense. All visible information indicated this was someone very far from martial arts.
"What do you mean by..."
The incubus couldn't help but panic with cold sweat at Bi Wol's words.
He was a Dream Demon who had bewitched over a hundred women and was famous in this restaurant for providing good dreams.
'How did she know? The dream I created should have been perfect...!'
Even though Bi Wol was a guest from the Eastern Continent, he had thought she would be similar to others.
Usually, after reading someone's mind and finding their favorite person, they would fall for a little gentle treatment.
Seeing that she seemed to like a handsome man with white hair and blue eyes and a muscular man covered in scars, he had disguised himself similarly.
However,
"Moreover, you show the appearance of the Northern Sea Ice Palace while mentioning the Namgung Family of the Five Great Families?"
Rather, that became the incubus's downfall.
When he continued to show himself despite her warning, she displayed genuine displeasure on her face.
Originally, Dream Demons were beings who read people's hearts and exploited their gaps. This might make one think no one could defeat them at the restaurant "Heaven's Dream," but.
Bi Wol was someone who had defeated her Heart Demon in the mental world.
"No, young hero... I was just trying to imitate your ideal type..."
The incubus had no choice but to tell the truth under the killing intent constricting his body. The feeling that one wrong move meant death crept up his body.
"Oh? So you dare try to imitate Master's sculpture-like appearance. You must be crazy with a death wish."
Bi Wol frowned while sighing deeply. Realizing this was a dream, she immediately imagined creating and gripping an ice sword.
A weapon identical to the sword Master Bing Yeon had made just for her, which she had used to defeat the Heart Demon, her inner darkness.
"C-customer! You can't do this! Wasn't it you who ordered the pure first love romance!"
Seeing the sharp blade, the incubus swallowed hard and opened his mouth. Being cut by that would mean certain death, even in a dream.
"...Could it be that Master ordered such food?"
When the incubus knelt down, begging with tears while rubbing his hands and feet together, Bi Wol sensed something strange and asked him.
She had thought she was under enemy attack, but perhaps not.
Come to think of it, she seemed to remember hearing Master Bing Yeon say it was okay to sleep soundly.
"Yes! A dream of eating a sweet, pure first love sandwich! Wasn't that what was ordered?"
The incubus complained to Bi Wol as if wronged. Her recent nightmare had clearly been about her master dying from his worsening illness.
Therefore, he thought it would definitely work if he disguised himself as a man more handsome than her master and gave her memories of a pure first love.
So he deliberately enlarged his muscles and spent time making himself look handsome.
Moreover, since memories are usually hazy in dreams, he thought she would fall for him without any problems if he appeared emanating an aura similar to Master Bing Yeon's.
"How can you maintain control even in dreams!"
Her memories were intact even in dreams. Like a lucid dream where one knows they're dreaming, she could take whatever actions she wanted.
And this was in front of a Dream Demon who invaded human dreams.
"My love for Master is... different from others, much heavier and deeper. Like the difference between blood and water."
Poof, white smoke rose beside Bi Wol, and someone's form began to appear within.
"...Bi Wol."
A man who looked exactly like Bing Yeon appeared beside Bi Wol. Unlike the incubus's shoddy disguise, he was so identical to the real one that it was hard to find any differences.
"Yes, did you call me... gege...♡"
With a sticky gaze dripping honey, Bi Wol grabbed the back of her dream Bing Yeon's head to prevent escape and kissed him.
She freely used the title she had always wanted to call him, and set their relationship as husband and wife.
"Mmm... hawup...♡ Are you jealous now? Huhu, you don't need to be... I wouldn't fall for such a ruffian... huu...♡ You're so mischievous, gege...♡"
Now she didn't even need to initiate kisses; rather, he persistently begged for them.
To add more realism to what was only possible in dreams, she even showed the brilliance of making Bing Yeon's avatar slightly clumsy at kissing.
"Hold me tighter until I can't breathe, indulge in me more, be more greedy and take all of me...♡"
Lewd sounds of mixing tongues and shared breaths echoed through the dream. Even succubi wouldn't share such loving kisses.
"......"
The incubus was speechless watching this. Originally, the pure first love sandwich wasn't supposed to progress this way.
Starting with a fateful boy-meets-girl encounter as the initial narrative,
The goal was to gradually close the distance and make them fall into a pure first love dream.
Give them such an intense and sweet moment that they wouldn't forget even after waking,
And finish by eating the sandwich - that kind of midsummer night's dream.
But what was this?
"Bi Wol, is even this not enough...?"
"No, it's still far from enough. Please hold my waist more firmly. I want to feel more of gege's everything...♡"
"Aren't there other men here? Let's do this when we get home. I have my reputation to think of..."
"Huhu, you seem more excited because of that. Weren't you the one who teased me freely in front of others, gege?"
What a sight, like an erotic dream, watching this passionate couple kissing.
"Behee...♡"
Only after silver threads stretched between their lips did Bi Wol stop kissing and separate from her avatar's embrace.
Though it was a dream she didn't want to wake from, it was a necessary choice to leave here and meet the real Bing Yeon.
"Then, this girl will move to meet the real Master now."
"Yes, take care of yourself."
The avatar gently stroked her head, just as Bing Yeon usually did with Bi Wol.
"Hehe... I hope someday I can really call Master 'gege'."
Watching Bi Wol grab that hand, rub it against her cheek, and leave a small kiss, the incubus felt something creepy.
He had made a mistake. Trying to create love for such a customer was wrong from the start.
"Now then, let's slowly figure out how to wake up from this dream."
Seeing Bi Wol wrap demonic energy around her fist, preparing to beat up the incubus,
"D-don't come! Stay away from me!"
He could only let out a scream mixed with wailing.
* * *
The case wasn't any different with Verdandi.
"You're lying!"
"Huh? What do you mean suddenly? Verdandi?"
Since Verdandi's recent nightmare had been about being ostracized by all the villagers and eventually being poisoned by their malice.
"We're childhood friends, aren't we? Why are you suddenly pulling away?"
"...That's a lie! Why are you trying to deceive me!"
The incubus who had entered Verdandi's dream pretended to be her childhood friend, trying to show her the feeling of pure first love.
He had deliberately set his appearance as a boy with white hair and blue eyes, just like in Bi Wol's case.
"What are you talking about? Verdandi, did you have a bad dream?"
How had she noticed? The incubus realized something was wrong but tried to change the subject to salvage the situation.
However,
"Being with an evil person like you is itself a nightmare! You demon imitating Master's childhood!"
Verdandi had noticed this was a dream because of such differences.
Though she had fallen in love with Master Bing Yeon at first sight, she hadn't yet clearly understood her own feelings.
"The Master I saw was much more handsome than this...!"
The lingering desire to spend childhood together with him.
She wanted to escape this dream immediately, embarrassed by the fact that her wish to be with Bing Yeon even in this way was showing through.
"I shall execute justice!"
Paat─! As soon as she recited the incantation she had been taught, a sword of light emerged from the center of her chest.
"...Hah, how did you figure it out?"
The incubus sighed deeply watching this. Customers who recognized they were in a dream were extremely rare.
"Yes, this is your dream. I'm acting this way because the customer ordered a pure first love dream."
Seeing no point in further deception, the incubus honestly told her the truth.
"Master ordered this?"
"Yes, the white-haired man ordered food that lets people experience sweet romance when eaten."
- [The words of the person before you are 'truth'.]
When the incubus's words showed as truth, Verdandi finally lowered her sword and listened.
"...Then, does that mean I can do whatever I want here?"
At this sudden thought, the corners of her mouth twitched upward. Here, she could monopolize Master Bing Yeon without anyone knowing.
Then,
"Mother! Why is Father late today? I, Skuld, am hungry!"
"Father must be executing justice today! Skuld, you must have patience like your brother Urd!"
Peng─! With this sound, two young children appeared.
They had hair that mixed Bing Yeon's characteristic white hair and Verdandi's blonde hair.
"Ah, aah... This really works!"
Verdandi, who had secretly chosen the names Skuld and Urd for children born under Bing Yeon, blushed while embracing the two children.
Though it was still just imagination, their way of speaking being identical to hers was a flaw.
"...Looking at this, it feels like my dream of becoming a good mother has come true!"
Such minor details didn't matter. A warm feeling that pounded her heart enveloped Verdandi.
"Then, I must eliminate the witness who saw my embarrassing imagination!"
Verdandi suddenly remembered the incubus watching this scene from afar, and with a loud laugh, she moved toward him.
"What...? Wait, wait... I told you everything truthfully! Please, can't we talk..."
The incubus, waving his hands at her terrible killing intent, was begging to resolve this through dialogue.
"Shut up! Hurry and get out of this dream!"
Despite the incubus's desperate plea, her kick landed squarely in his groin.
