Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

The red thread that Furuhashi Sakurakyu saw was not Yue Lao’s red thread, nor was it a karma thread.

She could see these five red threads ever since she woke up after the jade was broken. She did not know what they were before. She did not tell Kimura Kazuki about it.

However, since she was taken to the school by Kimura Kazuki and saw the red thread on her daughter, she suddenly saw the light.

It was actually a red thread of consanguinity.

And if she was not mistaken, the fifth thread should belong to her younger sister, Sena Nagayama. Dad seems to have passed away, she thought in a depressed manner.

Furuhashi Sakurakyu’s mother had passed away when she was 16 years old. Her father had done a great job in taking care of her and Sena Nagayama since then. She had gotten married first while her sister, Sena, declared that she would look after the Nagayama family and take in an uxorilocal husband into the family so that the Nagayama family would stop declining.

As for the five red threads, Furuhashi Sakurakyu had learned about its function after seeing her daughter.

She could enter into the dream of her sister and her four daughters by following the red thread. According to Kimura Kazuki, she could only enter other people’s dreams and talk with them at the present stage. But this was more than enough for Furuhashi Sakurakyu.

Soon, her consciousness sank, and she entered into one of the red threads. The red thread was a little faint as Sena Nagayama was far away. On the other hand, her four daughters lived together. They were of the same distance, and their red threads looked the same so she could try one by one.

She wanted to enter Harunaka’s dream.

This was because judging from the recent point of view, Kimura Kazuki was closer to Harunaka.

The scene before her changed as soon as she entered the dream. Furuhashi Sakurakyu looked at her surroundings and found that she was standing at the school corridor in the middle of the night. At the next moment, she saw a lump of red, white, yellow, and green monster in front of her. She was startled. It looked like the monster came out from the chemistry laboratory. The monster was chasing a girl in front. Furuhashi Sakurakyu knew that the girl was Akino the moment she saw her hairstyle.

Is she having a nightmare?

Thinking so, she saw Akino scream while being chased. Just when Furuhashi Sakurakyu was going to help, Akino pulled out a portable rocket launcher from the void, turned around, and shot the monster behind her.

A laser came out from the rocket instead of a cannonball. The entire corridor was covered by the laser in an instant, including Furuhashi Sakurakyu.

“Hehe... three experience points in my hands,” Akino said with a smile but was stunned. She scratched her head, why are there more than 100 experience points?

Obviously... Akino did not know that she had killed her own mother with the rocket in her dream.

Furuhashi Sakurakyu was at a loss for words at Kimura Kazuki’s house. Apart from losing some of her spiritual power, she was not in danger.

Last time when she entered Kimura Kazuki’s dream, she had to enter with her whole apparition... However, she only needed to split up some spiritual power to enter her daughters’ dream as she had a blood connection with them. Hence, there was no serious damage other than a feeling of listlessness. Basically, she would recover after getting a night’s sleep.

As Kimura Kazuki said, dreams were dangerous. A slight carelessness could lead to the risk of her soul flying away and scattering. Thinking that Kimura Kazuki repeatedly told her not to enter other people’s dreams, she was gratified. He might look cold, but he actually has a heart of gold.

As she was thinking about this, she entered another red thread. She found a piece of void and pondered for a while, seems like she’s not dreaming. Furuhashi Sakurakyu let out a sigh of relief when she entered a dream for the third time. She finally entered into Harunaka’s dream.

Furuhashi Sakurakyu took a look at her surroundings and noticed that the dream was quite clear. It was unlike the dream of Akino where everything was fuzzy, except the colored monster. Even the corridor was blurred, and she could only see the outline of the corridor.

Now she found herself in a huge gymnasium, sitting on the audience seat. She cast a glimpse at the center of the stadium, two people were participating in the Kendo tournament. “This is the Jade Dragon Flag?”

The Jade Dragon Flag was basically the highest honor of high school Kendo, it was merely one rank below the champion of the IH conference’s Kendo tournament.

The high school Kendo competition two weeks later was precisely the Jade Dragon Flag. Every high school in the country must first participate in the district qualifiers and get the first prize to participate in the Jade Dragon Flag tournament and compete for the championship.

Soon, the game was over. The student on the right hit the opponent’s face first and got one point.

“The winner goes to the Kendo General of Sakura Kyu, Furuhashi Harunaka!”

Following this, Furuhashi Sakurakyu discovered a large number of the audience around her, and the crowd burst into cheers. She was influenced by the atmosphere. Although she knew it was fake, she applauded together with the people around her.

Then, the scene changed, and they were in a house. Furuhashi Sakurakyu was stunned to see that it was the house where she and her daughters lived before. However, the surroundings were a bit fuzzy. Apparently, her daughter’s memory of this place had begun to fade since 10 years had passed.

“Mom... I did it! I led the team and won the women’s team championship in the Jade

Dragon Flag tournament,” Harunaka said with a big grin on her face, holding a jade dragon flag in her hand. The trophy was put on the table, with the medal was draped around her neck, her face full of joy.

“Congratulations.” Furuhashi Sakurakyu sighed in her heart, but she did not forget about the things that needed to be done. She tried to guide her with her words, “You won the women’s team championship, and Kazuki won the men’s team championship. Are you guys not going to celebrate it? You’re a couple, right?”

She saw Harunaka’s face turn red upon hearing that. The latter lowered her head and whispered, “Mom, you know Kazuki, and I are in a relationship?”

As she spoke, the doorbell rang. Harunaka went to get the door. Furuhashi Sakurakyu was dumbfounded when she looked at the direction. She just mentioned Kimura Kazuki, and he came over and knocked on the door... It seems that providing guidance in the dream can lead to a strong effect. In this case, she could not be more delighted... The success rate of my plan is getting higher and higher.

The Kimura Kazuki, who came in, was clearly different from the one in reality. He had a gentle smile on his face, like a sunshine boy. As soon as he entered the door, he gave Harunaka a big hug and a kiss on her forehead. “Congratulations, you finally won the women’s team championship. Your dream has finally come true.”

“Thank you.” Harunaka’s face was blushing.

Seeing this, Furuhashi Sakurakyu spoke with no expression on her face, “Harunaka, now that you have won the women’s championship, do you have any plans for the future? I remember Kazuki is planning to apply for the University of Tokyo... Harunaka, based on your results, are you even qualified for the University of Tokyo?”

Harunaka was dazed.

Furuhashi Sakurakyu struck while the iron was hot and continued with her brows knit, “Kazuki is going to be an elite member of society in the future whereas your results are always at the bottom of your class. Although you have won the Jade Dragon Flag Women’s Team Championship, getting good grades is the only way to get into the University of Tokyo. The two of you... are actually... incompatible!”

Right at the moment, Kimura Kazuki, who was next to Harunaka, began to speak too. He was expressionless, and his tone was cold, “Harunaka... I actually came over to break up with you. I have already received the admission letter from the University of Tokyo, and you certainly will not be enrolled due to your poor academic performance. Since we cannot go to the same university, we should break up earlier to avoid pain and anguish in the future.”

Kimura Kazuki let go of Harunaka upon saying that and headed out resolutely.

Bang! The door was closed.

In Suiryu Apartment, Furuhashi Harunaka, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly frowned. She opened her eyes abruptly and called out at the same time, “Kazuki!”

She was confused but gradually came back to her senses after a while, she looked stunned... Then her face gradually became crimson, like a steamer.

“Unexpectedly... I dreamt about Mom and senpai at the same time.”

Harunaka murmured while she recalled the last scene of the dream, she had mixed feelings about it. Senpai is the top student in Sakura Kyu, and I’m just a hopeless student. The gap between them was a huge barrier...

Harunaka tossed restlessly from side to side, unable to fall asleep anymore.
