6. Meet in the water

"Dreams..."

Doldren unintentionally said it out loud and hurriedly closed his mouth. Wiad looked back at his master like, "Hey, don't raise your voice."

He arched his face out of his sight, straightened himself and got off his horse. Without letting go of his tension, Doldren quickly scans around the fountain to see if there's anything suspicious.

there were. "Suspicious."

In the water, slightly deeper than the beach, something is moving out of the water. Doldren widened his eyes as he strained his eyes and reached for his sword.

Inadvertently, I let go of his hand holding his sword, and I heard the sound of his sword returning to its scabbard.

The suspicious thing quickly turned its face towards the trees that made the sound.

"Instinctively, I took a step forward." "I didn't think there was really a woman in the fountain."

The suspicious person who met Doldren's eyes stopped moving in the fountain and stood still, perhaps confused.

And then, before Doldren could say anything, the woman spoke.

"Um, you fell..."

He lowered his eyebrows as if he was troubled by his words. Doldren was stunned by the unfolding of his dream and was unable to move.

The only thing he was different about was that he wasn't naked.

Seeing the black-haired man's unresponsiveness, the woman seemed at a loss whether to get out of the water or not, and muttered to herself. "What should I do, I want to go up" or something like that.

As Doldren began to make sense of the situation, Wiad behind him poked his master in the back with the tip of his nose. Doldren regained consciousness after feeling something like 'Hurry up' and asked the woman a few steps closer.

"Name is"

The woman looked back into her eyes, somewhat defensive, but she quickly looked down at her and shook her head. does she not want to say Doldren wanted to hear her woman's name, but unlike his dream, he had no answer for the time being, so he took the next action.

She didn't look dangerous at all, and she was a woman, and Doldren approached and extended her arm.

"Come over here. It'll be cold."

I thought that one of her arms might disappear if the opponent was a monster, but I chose to get the woman out of the water anyway. The woman looked at her outstretched arm, blinked her eyes, nodded slightly, and advanced to the water's edge as if it was difficult to walk.

Coming close to her, the woman stretches out her right arm. Her legs seemed heavy as the weeds entwined her as she moved forward, so Doldren grabbed her by the arm and pulled her closer to his body.

The woman stumbles and falls to the ground due to Dordren's powerful pull. As her doldren supported her with both hands, the woman stood on her feet and took a step away. And in a moment she swung her leg to kick off her clinging weeds.

"Thank you. Excuse me, please help me."

She glanced up at Doldren's face, and the woman thanked her.

She looks around at her own outfit and sighs at the difficulty of her movement as her clothes stick to the water, she quickly begins tying her hair together and squeezing it with her hands. Looking closely at her face, I could confirm that she was - that person in my dreams.

She has black hair and brown eyes. Medium skin color that is neither white nor brown.

With her droopy eyes, her eye sockets are slightly sunken, her nose is high and her lips are thin. A face without concentration, or rather. It looks like a face carved in stone. She's as old as I am...or older.

"The woman's height is around Doldren's chest." When she grabbed her arm, she felt her firm shoulders and wide, powerful hands for a woman.

Her appearance itself is peculiar, but what has always bothered me is the shape of this woman's clothes that I have never seen before. Even if I recalled the past, I can't remember any clothes that looked like her.

If you look at the unusual clothes from top to bottom, your awareness will naturally shift to the lines of the woman's body.

"It's different from people in this country, where there are many plump women." The lines of her body, with her wet clothes sticking to it, are kind of androgynous... I don't quite understand the shape of her breasts and hips. If I was called a man, I think that would also work, and if I was called a woman, I would probably answer.

"That's right, the voice too." The woman's voice in the dream was androgynous. The same goes for the woman in front of her.

She noticed Doldren staring, and she looked into the clear gray eyes that looked down on her. And as Doldren observed her, she, too, glanced all over the black-haired man,

"It's a beautiful color."

When her hurriedly-moving gaze was right on Doldren's eyes, the woman smiled and praised him. She turned a hot gaze with a hint of loneliness, as if she had captured something she longed for.

Something shook in her Doldren body when she saw that expression. heart? "Stomach?" "Something moved with a thud." 　

Doldren swallows her saliva as she realizes that her staring female gaze is having an effect on her body that she has never felt before. "Why?" It wasn't clear what she was feeling.

The woman, who was silent in front of the black-haired man in front of her, put her words together as if she was thinking for a moment.

"The color of your eyes. I thought it was because you were so beautiful..."

Doldren was taken aback by the carefree smile of the woman who explained what color she was beautiful to her who didn't reply.

"No. Um, I see. Thank you, I was surprised by the unfamiliar words..."

Doldren was about to thank him, but the woman sneezed, and she panicked. She hurriedly took off her cloak and threw it over her woman's shoulders, bent her hips against her back a head or more below herself, pulled her cloak in front of her and broached it. to install.

The woman looked surprised, but she accepted it obediently.

Doldren caught her auburn eyes up close to her woman's face, and said, "Better get out of the woods for now," on her own terms. I accepted.

- I can't leave a soaking wet woman in the forest like this, and she's worried about her appearance. If she suddenly "fallen" into the spring, it may have something to do with the origin of the demons. 　

I understand her words, but I don't think I know where she's going from the way she looks at me.

For now, let's take her back. Due to her dreams, Doldren decided to protect this woman.

During this time, Wiad drank water from the spring to his heart's content, burping and staring at the man and woman with satisfaction.
