Tokyo: Rabbit Officer and Her Evil Partner

The air was thick with awkwardness.

Fushimi Rokushin willed it, and the glass of the floor-to-ceiling window instantly turned into a wall.

At this moment, his thoughts were strong enough, and his S-level Will finally took effect. Minamoto Tamako had no room to resist, and everything in the dream began to shake violently, the scenery before her eyes gradually turning into large abstract blocks of color.

In all likelihood, they were about to wake up.

Minamoto Tamako was unwilling to wake up; she hadn't done anything yet! Why should she wake up just because Fujimura-kun was embarrassed? She didn't want to wake!

So she shut her eyes tightly, trying to maintain the dream, while the surrounding scenery shattered and healed again, looking particularly abstract.

The two forces tugged back and forth, and clearly, Fushimi Roku was superior. Before the dream completely shattered, Fushimi Roku suddenly realized that waking up like this would be equally embarrassing... Was there any way to make Minamoto Tamako forget this?

"Oh!"

Before Fushimi Roku could think further, he suddenly heard the sound of Minamoto Tamako stretching. He realized he was awake, but he didn't plan to open his eyes.

He decided to muddle through first.

Fushimi Roku heard Miyazaki Shizuka asking Minamoto Tamako about her experience, and the latter truthfully recounted everything that happened in the dream, including her regret that the photos she took in the dream couldn't be brought to reality... Otherwise, she'd have the goods on Fujimura-kun and could mock him for a lifetime.

"Eh... what's happening? Fujimura-kun is still sleeping?"

Minamoto Tamako was somewhat surprised; logically, Fujimura-kun should have woken up with her.

Miyazaki Shizuka could tell that Fushimi Roku was pretending to sleep, as his breathing rhythm was completely different from when he was asleep, and his body muscles were obviously tense.

But she didn't expose Fushimi Roku's act, instead she gently nudged him, softly calling, "Fujimura-kun? Fujimura-kun... Wake up."

Fushimi Roku opened his eyes, stretched, and yawned as he extended his body.

Minamoto Tamako stared at him from the side, her small face smiling, but her eyes were narrowed in a slightly mischievous way.

Miyazaki Shizuka routinely asked Fushimi Roku how he felt and what he dreamed of, and he candidly said he felt good, then started to lie: "I dreamed of a library, with bookshelves filled with dossiers and documents from all over the world... I read some books and found it a bit boring, so then I dreamed of a gym..."

"You're lying!" Minamoto Tamako interrupted.

"How am I lying?" Fushimi Roku looked innocent, blinking as if he couldn't understand what Minamoto Tamako was saying.

"Obviously, we were having the same dream..."

Before Minamoto Tamako could finish her sentence, Fushimi Roku made a 'wow~' sound, signaling Minamoto Tamako not to talk nonsense: "Then why didn't I dream of you?"

"You're lying, I dreamed of you! At first, you were soaking in a hot spring without any clothes, and then you made my clothes disappear. Then I said to change the place, and you changed it to... to a very strange room..."

As Minamoto Tamako spoke, she found herself blushing.

"Tut tut tut... I didn't expect you to have such dreams." Fushimi Roku folded his arms, shaking his head frequently, with a look of 'I'm very disappointed in you.'

Minamoto Tamako clenched her fists, her cheeks puffed up. She could clearly feel that the Fujimura-kun in the dream was awake; otherwise, how could Fujimura-kun say, 'In my dream, no clothes are allowed in the hot spring'?

This was so infuriating!

Moreover, no matter how she racked her brain, she couldn't dream up such a room... There were some props in it, she didn't even know what they were for. How can one dream of things they've never seen?!

Fujimura-kun was definitely shirking!

This guy pretended not to have the same dream with her, accusing her of dreaming strange things!

Minamoto Tamako couldn't let it go and asked Miyazaki Shizuka to make a judgment— as a hypnotist, Miyazaki Shizuka should be able to tell whether the two of them were having the same dream.

Miyazaki Shizuka was in a dilemma, whether she told the truth or a lie, someone would be unhappy. Under the watchful eyes of Fushimi Roku and Minamoto Tamako, she supported her chin in meditation for a long time, and finally came up with a win-win idee fixe:

"Well... I'm not quite sure either." She paused, then continued: "Why don't the two of you come again next time, and we'll conduct another experiment? Maybe then we can determine whether the two of you were sharing a dream."

Miyazaki Shizuka had just recorded a lot of experimental data. The reactions of Fushimi Roku and Minamoto Tamako after hypnosis were different, especially when the shared dream occurred, they would start speaking vague dream-talk. Miyazaki Shizuka suspected they were subconsciously giving each other suggestive hints to achieve the shared dream effect.

These experiences were invaluable for Miyazaki Shizuka.

If there were a second experiment, it would be great.

Minamoto Tamako couldn't wait until next time, indicating they could continue now, as she wanted to prove Fujimura-kun was lying and clarify she hadn't had a strange dream!

But Miyazaki Shizuka claimed today wasn't suitable to continue, especially for Fushimi Roku, who had experienced hypnosis twice, taken melatonin twice, and woke up in a very short time. Now he needed rest, not another hypnosis session.

"That's really unfortunate," Fushimi Roku sighed: "I wanted to prove myself!"

Minamoto Tamako gritted her teeth, jumped off the recliner, and went to pay, stomping deliberately on each step.

Miyazaki Shizuka went to the front desk to collect payments, the two made an online transaction via the POS machine, Minamoto Tamako still using that ill-gotten wealth.
