**Outline from my own dream on the night of 23/10/65, with some content added to make this novel another one of the author's memories. The story is that...**

On that day before I went to bed that night I did various jobs including housework and reports during the school break. Even though my university closed the semester almost 1 week ago. But the accumulated fatigue still hadn't eased in the slightest. I lay down on the bed exhausted before their eyes.

My side slowly fell asleep and it became completely dark. Before a voice whispered:

“Wake up now. Is something wrong?” A woman's voice tried to wake him up.

Before I slowly opened my eyes Looking around, he saw no one, only a flower garden that stretched as far as the eye could see. The sky is bright and beautiful. As I continued to lie down on the ground, I met a young woman. When he saw that, he was shocked and had never been alone with someone of the opposite gender. So I kept my distance from her out of respect for her. Then she said

“Humans like you are really sluggish,” the woman said.

“Human?” I said.

While I was in a daze, I came across something that caught my eye. The young woman was about 20 years old and had lived about a year away from me. But what shocked and scared me at the same time was this. Her fox ears and tail I don't know if she's a god or a fox demon. Before she continued,

“Oh, you mean this one? Don't be afraid, I won't do anything to you,” the fox girl said with a smile.

Even though she said that But I'm still a bit worried because I've heard legends about fox demons that they use their charm and beauty to lure men into eating them. But in some places it is said that they are divine goddesses sent to help humans who are tired and weary from daily life.

Listening to it, it secretly resembles a cartoon.

Senko san

It's the same.

While I was thinking about this, that fox girl suddenly took my hand and led me to run and play with her.

“Just pretending to be miserable. A man like this is really worth hitting,” the fox girl said and led the young man to a riverside area with arched bridges on both sides.

“What did you bring me here to do?” I asked her curiously.

“What are you asking about like that? I brought you to play in the water with me,” said the fox girl.

“Swimming with you!” I asked in shock.

“That's right. Men and women here do it normally. This one is really like an innocent child,” said the fox girl. before laughing at me in surprise and she teased me by carrying me and jumping into the water across the bridge without my guard.

“Hahaha, this is it!” The fox girl splashed water on me brightly.

“Wait a minute. I don't have any other clothes to wear.” I shielded my hands from the water in my eyes.

“It doesn't seem like it's anything,” the fox girl continued to tease.

Until I started to have fun and wanted to tease her back.

“This is it!~~” I performed a water wave release similar to the turtle wave release. Until the water became a small wave and washed over her body until she was completely wet. And she said

“People are clearly cheating,” the fox girl said, puffing her cheeks.

Seeing that, I slowly used both hands to touch her cheeks and gently massage them. To make her sulking until she made a very cute dazed expression.

“Actually, my name is Mei Er. What is your name?” the fox girl asked.

I'm disappointed because I still can't find my name in this world. Because he was just having fun and being happy with his new face that was as handsome as a Chinese star. Before I could think of this name in my head and answer her,

“Bao Chen,” I replied to her.

"Wow, that's a very meaningful name. It's strange that it means 'Dawn Protector'," the fox girl said.

I'm red-faced and I don't act right. So he brought both hands to hold his face to relieve his embarrassment. Until the fox girl said:

“Hass~ We've been playing in the water for quite some time now. Would you be interested in dining with me~?” The fox girl asked with a wry smile. Then he pulled the hem of my yukata shirt (I don't know what Chinese people's shirts are called, haha).

I was busy thinking about things that weren't good in my head. I thought so much that I was so engrossed that I didn't notice the events around me until she walked into her mansion.

“Ah-it's here-..” ​​I was shocked.

“Oh, we're here,” the fox girl replied.

"So what? We definitely won't survive. We'll definitely get eaten." I thought so much that I closed my eyes and stood in front of the mansion. Before having it, she would say,

“Oh, just standing there frozen. I won't be able to eat soon," the fox girl said.

“Yes..” I, having no choice, had to spend the money to follow her.

Her mansion was very large, like a Chinese royal palace. But it was very strange that she lived here alone, not even having any servants. While I was wondering, she replied like a mind reader:

“If you're talking about my servants. Say he's not here anymore.. The fox girl replied in a sad and lonely voice.

“What happened, Miss Mei-er?” I asked her with concern.

“They were all killed by demon hunters. I'm the only one who survived. It is because of the power of the Great Heavenly Master,” the fox girl said and cried at the same time.

“Or is it the Emperor Emperor?” I pondered in my heart.

“Everyone in this world would definitely hate a demon fox like us. And you yourself are not disgusted or afraid of me?-” As the fox girl didn't finish speaking, something happened.

I embraced her with understanding and pity for her at the same time.

“If people's hatred causes you pain and suffering, I would like to be the one to help carry this feeling for Ms. Mei'er.” I replied to her.

“Bao Chen..” the fox girl said with a pinkish blush on her face.

“I know I'm not the person who understands you the best. But I will always be by Ms. Mei'er's side.” I answered like a comforting person until I realized that...

“Yay! What did I say? Mr. Mei-er There's nothing wrong with me." I was shocked by his words of comfort. before turning away to correct the embarrassment

“This..Bao Chen.”

"gulp!"

While I'm blushing The fox girl embraced me from behind and she used her soft cheeks to caress my back.

“I've always been afraid...I've always been afraid,” the fox girl cried.

So I turned around and embraced her and gently rubbed her head back and forth to make her stop crying.

“You don't have to say anything. I'm here." I gently wiped away her tears.

As I was wiping her tears suddenly The fox girl immediately jumped in and kissed me. I was shocked but couldn't resist her demands and had to allow her to continue. before she slowly pulled away from the kiss

"Miss Mei'er," I accidentally called the fox girl's name.

“Huh, I'll just accept your kiss, Bao Chen.” The fox girl laughed again. And that night I dined with her and it was very delicious. It's so delicious it's hard to believe it's a dream. When she was satisfied, she put her head on my shoulder and asked me,

“Bao Chen, if I am not as beautiful as you see, Do you still want to live with me?”

“I want it. No matter what kind of angel or devil Ms. Mei'er is from hell, I can accept it all. That's because Miss Mei'er is a good person.”

“I myself believe that you are a good person. Even if it's as innocent as a child, hehe.” The fox girl laughed.

“Miss Mei-er,” I said, whose face was so red that I pretended to go to bed on the futon she had prepared for me and slowly fell asleep.

The fox girl hugged the young man warmly and fell asleep with him in the quiet that night.

I myself used to think like other people that A beautiful and charming body is the eye of any man in this world. But when she becomes a mate, she will eat the man as food. But today I saw it for myself. If there was a cruel and cruel demon fox in this world. There must also be fox demons that protect humans.

"Eek Eek Eek!!!" The sound of a rooster crowing in the morning rang out. It is a sign that the dawn has arrived.

“Ah..oh.” Both of my eyes slowly opened.

“Good morning, Bao Chen,” the fox girl greeted in the morning.

“Ah..good morning.” So I hurriedly got up and came to fold up the futon and give it to her until it was neat and tidy.

“Today, I will take you to eat at the riverside. Will you go together?” the fox girl asked.

“Miss Mei'er invited me and I have to go anyway,” I replied.

Seeing this, the two of them went to eat breakfast by the river. This area is the same place where the two first went to play in the water on the first day. Under the trees it was shaded, cool and extremely peaceful.

“Ah, Bao Chen.”

“Huh? Is there something wrong, Ms. Mei-er?”

While I was wondering The fox girl touched my cheek with a grain of rice with her finger. Then she licked it on her finger.

“Whoa!!” I was so shocked that my face turned red and smoke rose up my head.

“Hehe, I don't see the need to be embarrassed at all. I do what I normally do,” the fox girl replied with a fluffy tail.

“Yes..” I replied pretending nothing had happened. But the expression on his face said that he was very embarrassed.

“This is Bao Chen.” The fox girl moved closer to the young man's face.

“Is there something wrong?” My face was so red that I had to back myself up against a big tree and couldn't move any further.

Suddenly, the fox girl grabbed the hem of my yukata with both of her hands and said,

“I love you. Lord Bao Chen,” the fox girl said with an embarrassed expression. But he smiled and was extremely happy.

"look for!? Isn't it a bit too fast just overnight?" I was shocked. So I asked her back.

“For you, it might just be overnight. But it's my whole life,” the fox girl replied, gently touching the young man's face with her hand. Before the tears come out

"Miss Mei'er..." I wiped away her tears.

“This world that you live in It was so short, Lord Bao Chen..” The fox girl began to sob.

“Very short? You mean, Miss Mei-er?” I was extremely confused. But he also tried to comfort the other party.

“If I'm being honest. This world is your dream that happened in the night. I know it's very short, but I'm very happy.”

“Miss Mei’er…” Tears began to fall from both sides of the young man.

“No, Bao Chen. Please don't cry. I believe that you will definitely be able to move forward. Even though at that time there was no one standing to extinguish him. Can you promise me that you will continue-”

“That's enough, Ms. Mei'er. There's no need to say anything. If I were to live my life in the real world then forget my happy dreams with you. I would rather die.”

“Bao Chen…”

“I know that our time together is very short. But I'm very happy. So I promise you.”

"contract? What do you want me to promise?”

“I know it might have been a foolish promise from me. But please promise me. that we will meet again When I was exhausted and powerless like this time.”

"I..I promise you."

“I love you too, Miss Mei’er.”

Just as the two were about to tell each other their feelings, the young man's body slowly began to fade and turn into dust.

“Bao Chen, this is you!…” The fox girl was shocked by what she saw in front of her. Because that was a sign that the dawn of the young man's real world had arrived.

“It must be my time now..” I smiled at the fox girl and wiped away her tears.

“No matter what happens I will always be by your side...” The fox girl kissed the young man one last time and hugged him very tightly. Until the young man's body gradually disappeared until it was almost completely gone.

“See you later, Ms. Mei'er.” I smiled at her through tears and disappeared into dust.

“Bao Chen!…” The fox girl shouted in mourning.

“Hug!?” I was startled when I woke up in the morning. When I looked at the time, it was almost 9 a.m. So I spent the entire morning crying while I woke up. and keep her in my memories forever And I believe that she is definitely still watching over me from that side of the world. And I will try to continue living my life as I promised you and everyone in this real world.

The End
