I Don't Want This Reincarnation [1]

152

Elohim's words that we could see the Milky Way if we went up to the third floor at night weren't empty.

I sat on the window sill right next to the bed and looked through the darkened glass. Various animals running through the flower garden with dreamy light and the sky with the Milky Way spread wide open before my eyes.

It was the first time in my life to see such beautiful scenery. I was reminded of how monotonous and harsh my past life was.

The third floor would be much nicer because the ceiling was all made of glass. I should take a look later when I got a chance.

When I sat for a while and looked out the window, I heard a knock on the door.

"Oh, no. I interrupted your rest."

"It's not."

It was Elohim who came to the room. With his silver hair neatly tied down, he approached with neat steps.

"Isn't it beautiful?"

He opened his mouth in a relaxed voice as if he knew what I was seeing.

"The place where you and I first met in our dream was also very impressive. Do you remember?"

"I remember."

The open meadows and blue skies that made your heart flutter. Even the wind that gently swept the cheeks with the scent of wood.

It was so vivid that I couldn't believe it was a dream.

"You think it's my power to create it, but that's not true."

"What?"

"Like I said back then, I just came to your dream. It was you, not me, who created that magnificent view."

I frowned slightly at the unexpected words.

"But... I don't have that kind of talent. It's a place I've never been to in my life."

"It's quite possible. Because it's inside a dream."

Elohim grabbed my shoulder and bowed his upper body slightly to meet my gaze. His golden eyes, seen up close, shone brilliantly.

"Dreams come true with wishes and thoughts that you didn't even know existed. That's how great and dangerous it is."

The calmness I had just felt disappeared like a lie. I looked at Elohim, feeling the chilly air on my skin, and he put something into my hand.

"What is this?"

"Candy."

Contrary to the dream, this candy was white and had a refreshing scent. All of a sudden, candy before going to bed.

"Do I have to eat this?"

"Of course. If possible, I would like you to eat it in front of me now."

"...may I ask why?"

"Hm."

Elohim, who was worried for a moment and was touching his lips, pointed to the candy.

"The whole place is deeply covered with my power. It can have a good or a bad influence."

"Like the butterfly that put Ha Tae-heon-ssi to sleep?"

"Right. But unlike that butterfly, it seems to have had a bad influence on you."

I had a bit of a sense of what he was trying to say. I asked while looking down at something too white for candy.

"Can you dream if you eat this too?"
