Motohama and Issei looked at each other again, this time they both had an apprehensive expression on their faces, turning their gaze to the almost tearful Matsuda, Motohama asked cautiously.
"What kind of...nightmare?"
Hugging himself, Matsuda spoke with a blank expression on his face and a dead tone in his voice. — "At first it was just a normal dream, a usual dream where I was surrounded by the most beautiful girls in school, all acting coquettishly towards me..."
"Kuhum." — Clearing his throat, he imitated what the girls were saying using a high-pitched voice. — "Heheh~ wow Matsuda-sama, how amazing you are~, Matsuda-sama, you're the most handsome guy in school~, Matusda-sama, you have amazing pecs~."
"Kuhum." — He cleared his throat before continuing, completely ignoring the strange looks he was receiving from Motohama and Issei. — "Anyway, it was a beautiful dream, there was Himejima-san, Gremory-san, Toujou-san and Shitori-san and even the other girls from the student council were in it, even the girls from the kendo club were in it."
"Although..." — Looking up at the sky, a desolate expression appeared on his face as he bit his lower lip. — "However...while I was being fed grapes by Gremory-san, with Shitori-san massaging my back and Himejima-san and Toujou-san massaging my feet with the other girls around me..."
With difficulty, he almost sobbed as he continued. — "But all of that fell apart when he appeared, coming completely out of nowhere, with glowing red eyes, horns on his head and an evil smile, he came, beat me up completely and worst of all..."
He spoke through clenched teeth. — "He grabbed them all, all the girls, he just picked them all up in that damn muscular arm and carried them, but that wasn't even the worst, no, with his other hand he grabbed Gremory-san and..."
Seeing that he seemed to be having difficulty continuing, Motohama asked with a frown. — "And what?"
"He..." — Stopping in difficulty, Matsuda forced himself to say through gritted teeth. — "He groped her and then kissed her and as if that wasn't enough, she blushed and smiled as she kissed him back!"
"Oh/Oh..." — Those were the only things Motohama and Issei could say, both with expressionless faces as they recognized the type of scene.
And as if to confirm that thought, Matsuda continued.
"Arrrgggh! Fuck this shit!" — With an anguished cry, Matsuda held his head as he spoke loudly to the sky. — "Why did my nightmare have to look like an NTR scenario!? Why!? Arrgghh...!"
And while Matsuda was distressed and expressed his internal pain, Motohama and Issei remained silent, unable to say words of comfort to their friend.
"...Arrgghh!" — Stopping letting out miserable screams, he turned to Motohama and grabbing his shoulders, he asked desperately and with red eyes. — "Oi, Motohama! I'm not the only one who's had nightmares like that, am I? Am I!?"
Grabbing Matsuda's hands and pulling them away, Motohama spoke with a bead of sweat appearing on his temple. — "Y-yes, I had a nightmare too, but it wasn't like yours."
Turning away from Motohama, Matsuda asked with a tearful expression. — "And how was it?"
"Well..." — Motohama started to remember the nightmare, which was actually a memory of the time he asked Aika Kiryu out, things happened like in real life but the ending was...different.
"I appreciate the invitation Motohama-kun, but I already have a boyfriend." — That's what she said to him in the dream, they were in the school hallway and he was hunched over.
Upon hearing her words, he straightened up and as he looked at her in surprise, the girl looked back with a smile and with that, coming completely out of nowhere, that guy appeared.
Motohama then saw how that guy came up to her and held her hand, and with both of them smiling she turned to him and said. — "This is my boyfriend, anyway, see you later, Motohama-kun."
And with those words the girl walked away holding that guy's hand like it was nothing.
Motohama remembers being so shocked by this that he woke up with the same expression from his dream.
And recalling that nightmare now, he realized that it was actually not much different from Matsuda's, and with that realization in his mind, his face went blank as he answered Matsuda's question.
"I just realized it wasn't much different from yours."
Nodding with an expression of shared pain, Matsuda turned to Issei as he asked the same question. — "And you Issei, you also had a nightmare, right?"
He asked hopefully, as if he wished Issei had gone through the same suffering.
And faced with Matsuda's question, he and Motohama looked at Issei as they waited for the answer and saw how a familiar blank look appeared on his face.
At that moment, Issei was remembering the nightmare he had, but it wasn't some kind of NTR scenario like the other two.
In the nightmare, he was standing inside a classroom, but the whole situation was strange, everything had strange shapes and different colors in a caricatured way, but that wasn't the worst thing.
Because at that moment and in that place there was a familiar girl in front of him, but seeing who she was didn't make him feel relieved or happy, quite the opposite.
And also the fact that she was crying only served to give him a bad omen.
Then, he watched, lost and in growing panic, as that girl, that guy's little sister, stood crying in front of him.
With the girl's tears floating as if there were no gravity, he tried to speak to her, hesitantly.
"Y-you are okay-"
But he didn't even have time to ask directly when he was interrupted by a tremor.
Thud—
Along with a serious thud, each subsequent tremor became closer and closer and with her sense of foreboding growing stronger, her fear came true as the girl ran to the door.
When she opened the door, a huge shape appeared, which slowly and magically passed through the door.
And as he stared in pure shock and horror at that guy's supermassive, muscular form, the girl walked up to him and spoke in a tearful tone.
"Brother, he-he said he wanted to grab my breasts!"
With these words falling, the classroom began to shake as if an earthquake was happening.
"Oh, really?"
Those were the words that guy said, but his voice was much deeper than usual.
And Issei, who watched all this without even trying to explain himself or point out that she was lying, felt his internal horror increase even more, both because of that frightening voice, but also because he knew the cause of the tremor.
And while Issei tried to steady himself by leaning on a table, he saw how that guy looked in his direction and with that, his eyes began to glow with a threatening red light.
Swallowing hard, Issei could only watch in amazement as this colossal guy approached in slow steps, each step reverberating with a deep thud.
Furthermore, with each step the tremor that enveloped the room also increased in intensity as he got closer to Issei.
Being completely scared, Issei tried to move away but unable to walk due to shaking and fear, he ended up falling, in the end he only managed to crawl along the floor.
Reaching the end of the room, he leaned his back against the wall as he watched the guy approaching in a cold sweat.
Thud—
With a final thump, that guy stopped in front of him, and then he stood there, menacingly still, with his eyes glowing red and veins bulging all over his body.
Raising an arm defensively in front of him, Issei spoke nervously. — "W-what are you going to do?"
Hooff—
Snorting deeply like a horse, he responded in his frightening voice. — "I said I'd send you to the ICU if you tried something like that again, didn't I?"
Watching tensely, Issei saw how he slammed his fist into his palm as he continued to speak.
"Now I'm going to beat up your ass, so prepare your anus."
Faced with those frightening words spoken in English that he somehow understood, Issei could only say in despair as his hand approached.
"Whait, whait, whait!"
But his appeal, also in English, was ignored.
Thus, he could only scream in the end when that giant hand reached his face.
"Oh, nooooo!"
Issei remembers that his despair in the nightmare was so great that at that moment he woke up screaming the same way in English.
In the end, this was without a doubt the strangest and scariest nightmare he had ever had.
Finishing remembering this strange nightmare, Issei still with a blank face spoke. — "...I don't want to talk about it."
Seeing how traumatized Issei seemed by something just like them, Motohama and Matsuda were only able to nod in complicity.
"Ugh, I can't believe this, even in our minds this guy appears to destroy our dreams." — Matsuda spoke resignedly as he lowered his head in defeat.
Motohama nodded while pushing up his glasses. — "He is a formidable enemy, but fair enough, as long as we don't do anything to him or his sister, we don't need to worry."
Issei nods his head in agreement with Motohama's words.
"No, Motohama, that's not the point..."
Motohama and Issei looked at the dejected Matsuda in confusion as he continued.
"These nightmares only served to remind me of my failure to get a girlfriend..."
"Matsuda..." — Motohama and Issei watched with conflicted expressions as Matsuda slowly stood up.
Standing up, Matusda looked up at the sky in dramatic silence until he exhaled. — "Damn! Why can't I get a girlfriend? Why!?"
"Matsuda..." — Motohama and Issei looked at Matsuda with an emotional expression as they understood their friend's pain.
With a frustrated expression, Matsuda continued. — "Why!? I'm so beautiful, so hot, so sexy, I would be the perfect boyfriend, so why!?"
"Oi, don't overdo it." — Motohama said, looking at him expressively.
"Don't be delusional." — Issei said blankly as well.
But as if he hadn't heard their words, Matsuda continued. — "But I'll show them! I'm going to show them all that I can do it!"
"Who the hell are you talking about, you bald idiot?" — Motohama questioned him in an expressionless tone.
"Did the sun fry your brain, billiard ball head?" — Issei questioned him blankly as well.
But just as before and acting as if he hadn't heard them, he spoke. — "You all saw it!" — He then shifted his gaze to his surroundings, quickly spotting a girl in the distance.
And so, without hesitation, Matusda quickly ran towards her.
Seeing this, Motohama and Issei exclaimed in surprise.
"Hey, Matsuda, what are you going to do!?"
"Hey, bald idiot, wait a minute!"
And the two then followed after him.
As he quickly approached the girl, he could see several things, and the first and most important thing was that she was pretty, the second was that she looked like she was a first year and the third was that she had a cat clip on her head.
Getting close enough to the girl, he shouted. — "Hey, you! Stay where you are!"
And his scream, of course, scared the girl completely by surprise.
The girl with the cat head clip and short, chin-length black hair twitched as she stopped, looking in surprise at where she had heard the scream.
And with her gaze, she saw an older boy with an intimidating expression running towards her frighteningly.
So, she stood there not knowing how to react to this situation.
And with her standing still, Matsuda soon found himself in front of her.
"Huuu." — Exhaling deeply, Matsuda was able to see the girl better now that he was in front of her.
And he confirmed that she was really pretty, her breasts were a little small, but meh, he wasn't in a situation that could be picky.
As he blatantly analyzed her, he saw how the girl raised her arms in a withdrawn gesture and with a tense expression asked her nervously.
"C-can I help you, Senpai?"
Hearing what the girl called him, a smile unconsciously appeared on Matsuda's face.
"Senpai~ hehe~." — The cheerful tone in his voice matched his stupid, dreamy smile.
After all, one of his personal fantasies was being called senpai by a cute kouhai.
And while he was lost in his reverie, he didn't notice how the girl took a step back as she looked at him hesitantly, not looking comfortable.
With the sound of footsteps coming from behind, Matsuda snapped out of his reverie and put on a serious expression on his face.
Without giving Issei and Motohama time to question him, he asked the girl. — "You can call me Matsuda-senpai, what's your name?"
Tensing even more at his blunt approach, she took another step back as she responded. — "K-kusaragi Saya."
With an expression of understanding as he nodded, he smoothed his chin as he muttered. — "Kusaragi-chan? Hm, I see."
Then, placing his hands on his hips and smiling confidently, he spoke. — "Here is Kusaragi-chan, I have a question to ask you."
"O-oh." — The girl muttered nervously as she took another step back.
Ignoring that the girl was walking away, Matsuda spoke, still smiling confidently. — "So, do you want to go out with me?"
"U-uh?" — The girl could only speak in confusion, blinking her eyes as she processed his words, she responded in a lost tone. — "No?"
Slap—
With the sound of the slap he gave his forehead reverberating, Issei shook his head wordlessly.
"Sigh..." — A sigh of exasperation was what Motohama let out as he pinched his nose under his glasses.
With the confident smile frozen on his face, Matsuda spoke weakly. — "No?...Why not?"
"Uh...because I don't know you...and because you're not my type?" — The girl said hesitantly as she took another step back.
With the forced smile still on his face, he robotically pointed at his own face while speaking in an even weaker tone. — "But I'm not that bad...right?"
"I really don't know..." — Once again, she responded hesitantly as she took another step back.
"I understand..." — Matsuda spoke in a clearly defeated tone, then, taking a deep breath and exhaling, he took quick steps and reached the girl, grabbing her by the shoulders. — "In that case, you would let me show that I'm a good catch by going out on a date right? Right!?"
Being taken by surprise once again, the girl was completely frozen as her shoulders were grabbed, just staring dumbfoundedly at the boy in front of her.
Seemingly unaware of his own action, with a tearful expression he exclaimed again. — "Will you give me a chance? Right!?"
His plea was almost desperate as he squeezed the girl's shoulder.
And the girl was just scared by the situation and didn't know how to react.
"Hey Matsuda, calm down!"
"Get a grip, bald idiot!"
Issei and Motohama spoke in surprise as they quickly caught up with him and grabbed him by the shoulder trying to pull him away from the girl.
They didn't know what was wrong with him at that moment, but it seemed like the whole nightmare scenario had affected him more than he let on.
As they tried to forcefully remove the arms from the girl's shoulders, a task they discovered to be more difficult than it seemed, Matsuda continued to speak with a tearful expression.
"Please! I promise you'll have fun! Let's go on a date!"
And although he was lost in despair, he did not notice the girl's own growing despair.
As beads of sweat formed on her forehead, Saya's panic only increased when she felt her shoulders being pressed to the point where the pain began.
And when she was so scared that she wanted to scream for help, a voice she heard made it so that she didn't have to, while upon recognizing said voice her turbulent emotions calmed down.
"Hey, you idiots! What do you think you're doing!"
And with that voice sounding frighteningly close, Matsuda, Issei, and Motohama immediately stopped in shock, their bodies reacting more out of instinct than anything.
