Ethereal slumber- Raiden shogun x Tomo

Chapter 46

Ei shot back awake and found herself laying down in a ground full of flowers.

'Am I dreaming?' Ei questioned herself and sat up from the flower bed.

The flowers' fragrance filled the breeze. Far in the distance, she saw a tall figure wearing a white and formal clothes with a beautiful white umbrella with cecelia flowers designs on it.

The beautiful umbrella covered the figure whom was holding it. Ei figured the person within her dream was a male, though she cannot see his clearly due to her being far away.

Ei stood up slowly and approached the person. Not even a few inches from him, Ei was blocked a gust of wind that blinded her.

When she recovered her vision, she felt a force down her foot that made her stumble to the ground when she saw what it was.

Ei's eyes were full of fear when she saw a decapitated head roll down the ground with red blood spilling against the floor.

This made Ei jolt out awake inside a room, the room that General Gorou offered for her and the travelers to stay for the night.

The sunlight raised through the window, as Ei was confused by how she gotten there "Wai- what???"

Ei saw her slingbag placed on the table, as she reached out to it. "Was it all a dream?" Ei asked herself.

She felt her bag unstuffed and when she opened it to look inside... there was nothing. The visions were gone "So it wasn't a dream?" Ei seemed confused and decided to teleport inside the euthymia.

Ei sprinted towards the singular sakura tree in the middle of the plain but slowed her pace when she saw Tomo taking a nap like a cat.

Ei sat on her knees and caressed Tomo's fluffy white hair gently. Tomo was sleeping on his stomach with his haori tucking him like a blanket.

Tomo yawned like a cat making Ei giggled "Cute..." Ei moved her hand down his cheek and rubbed her thumb against his soft skin.

Tomo smiled and brought his hand up to held Ei's hand that was touching his face.

Tomo fluttered open his eyes and saw the most beautiful woman infront of him "Is it morning already?" Tomo yawned and sat up while rubbing his eyes.

Ei pinched his cheek "Yes, hahah" Ei giggled "O-ow! That hurts- Tomo mumbled and he was leaned into a kiss by Ei.

Tomo blushed lightly and kissed back. They soon pulled away with Ei's hands resting on Tomo's shoulders.

"I would love to wake up like this everyday~ I think this is just a dream—" Tomo said while still feeling a bit drowsy and was about to fall back asleep when Ei pinched his nose "Ow!" Tomo hissed and massaged his nose "See. You're not dreaming" Ei said in a bit stern in her voice.

"Oh... give me five more minutes then" Tomo said and laid his head down on Ei's lap "Tomo, are you still awake?" Ei asked and Tomo hummed while nodding his head.

"Did I really ventured from Fort Fujitou to Fort Mumei hours ago?" Ei asked "Yeah, why?" Tomo was nuzzling his face against Ei's thighs, trying to fall back asleep.

"Huh... I thought it was just a dream" Ei mumbled and only noticed just now that her hair was tied up in a high ponytail "Do you know how I ended up near Serpent's head?" Ei asked.

"Yes. You were knocked out unconscious by a shadow monster or something and I have to fight for you and let you rest" Tomo answered "Thank you, love" Ei spoke and peck Tomo's head making him purr like a cat and stretched out his arms.

Tomo sat up with a pleased smile on his face "Awww... my 5 minutes of extra sleep has timed out" Tomo said and stared at Ei for a while.

"What?" Ei look confused and Tomo chuckled "Nothing, you're just too beautiful for me" Tomo said with a weak smile and Ei giggled in response "Well, you're also beautiful yourself" Ei spoke back and pulled him into a passionate embrace.

Ei came back to the puppet's consciousness and stood up with her sling bag on her shoulder.

She exited the room and bumped into Aether while on her way "Oh- Ei! I'm sorry-" Aether dusted himself "Good morning, Aether and Paimon. Did you two have a nice sleep last nice?" Ei greeted "Yeah! Paimon dreamt about eating gazillions of food! Ooh~ it was so vivid that my tummy was filled" Paimon rubbed her tummy making Ei giggle at her dream.

"Good morning to you too, Ei and say good morning to Tomo for me too" Aether said and Ei nodded "I will. Well, see you two around. I will be heading my way to Watatsumi now" Ei bowed and was about to leave when Paimon called out "Hey! Ei! You can't go travel in an empty stomach!"

Ei stopped on her tracks and turned to the duo "Yeah, Paimon's right" Aether agreed with the gluttonous pixie "We were actually going to wake you up to eat breakfast— "Eat breakfast first before traveling out the other islands! And bring your boyfriend a meal too!" Paimon shouted.

Before Ei could speak, the two travelers then dragged Ei to a tent nearby.

Inside the tent were a simple dining table and benches. The duo forced Ei to take a seat a eat, as Aether gone to serve breakfast for them.

"'Boyfriend'? Is that a modern word?" Ei asked while her gaze was on Paimon "Yep! Boyfriend is another word for a male lover" Paimon explained and Aether came back with a tray.

Aether placed down the tray on the table and sat down "The fourth one is for Tomo" Aether said and set down the meal for Tomo next to Ei while Aether sat next to his emergency food.

"Well, how about let's just take a meal inside the euthymia" Ei suggested and held her tray of meal and Tomo's "Oooh~ that's sounds cool" Paimon said and held her dishes on her small hand "Sure, why not" Aether agreed and they all teleported inside the euthymia.
