Yume No Kuni Chapter 5
Suddenly, I was standing in front of a deserted amus.e.m.e.nt park.
In the shimmering heat of hot air, the cicada’s singing seemingly filled the amus.e.m.e.nt park.
That’s right. I finally remembered.
She has not been found yet.
That was, the moment I moved.
She had been missing.
And, the place she was last seen was, this amus.e.m.e.nt park.
With it as the start, the amus.e.m.e.nt park started to decline.
[Tomoe]
Even though I said we will always be together.
Growing up, I said we would come back together.
I, couldn’t even fulfill that one promise.
[I, have become a grown up you know!]
~step~ I moved a step forward.
[Tomoe]
Dream Castle of the Amus.e.m.e.nt Park
Surely, there she was, there was a strange feeling that tells that Tomoe was there.
I arrived at the Dream Castle while sweating, unlike the outside; it is much cooler inside it.
[Hey, Tomoe. I came to meet you.]
I roamed around the Dream castle over and over, until I found it, a hidden door.
Tomoe has to be there, surely.
Without hesitating, I opened the door.
[Tomoe]
The inside was covered in mold, dust and cobwebs.
Inside the room were famous torture instructs such as the Iron Virgin and the Rack.
And in the back, there was a small greyish, white lump.
[I finally found you, Tomoe]
I pushed the carca.s.ses, the dusts and molds then lifted that small skull into my arms.
Was it frightening? Was it painful?
To my close friend who had changed greatly, I nestled close.
You don’t have to go anywhere anymore.
I don’t care if it’s just an illusion.
I and Tomoe, will always be together.
In this amus.e.m.e.nt park, an eternal dream, together.
In a world, where anyone couldn’t disturb us.
Ah, I could see the illusion.
Tomoe, laughing and reaching to me this way.
Quietly, I closed my eyes.
