Path to Parallel Reality and Dreams

　　The sky was getting dark, and after the few of them met, they made their final preparations.

　　According to Shinichi's arrangement, Ichika goes to help Mafuyu adjust the equipment.

　　Surprisingly, the strict Mafuyu, who seemed to be able to handle everything neatly, had nothing to do with mechanical equipment.

　　Previously, Ichika had thought that Mafuyu was the perfect superhuman type who had little to bother her in the world.

　　After all, the other party's aura was too strong, and she was trained like that during the day, and the image of this teacher in Ichika's heart was very high, but now she feels that she has become better and easier to get along with.

　　—If you only display your strength, it will only make people feel difficult to approach.

　　If you let it see not only the pros, but also the cons, maybe you can get closer to it.

　　If Ichika doesn't break through this distance soon, she who was late at first, will only end up drifting away from Shinichi, seeing Miku who always stands by his side and gaining happiness.

　　Nothing wrong with that.

　　Anyway, Miku is her sister.

　　"That's it Sensei, I'll be back to do other things."

　　Touching the speaker that was almost broken by Mafuyu's operation, Ichika looked at Shinichi and Miku who were standing side by side in the distance.

　　"Okay, thank you very much Nakano... Ichika-san." Mafuyu breathed a sigh of relief, and kept her distance from the instrument.

　　"Even though your grades aren't great, the ability of some of you to do practical things is admirable. Please don't waste this talent and keep working hard."

　　"Ahaha, did Sensei tell us not to study? I always feel a little contradictory..." Ichika scratched her face and laughed.

　　She felt that the other side's meaning was... Since you can't read, you should take part in more activities like this, and stop wasting effort on your studies in vain.

　　She was obviously a teacher but saying such a thing, wasn't she afraid that she would get lost from now on and turn in a blank sheet in the upcoming exam?

　　Mafuyu shook her head.

　　"That's not the case. Reading is one thing, but the ability to act and interest and expertise is another."

　　"If it is beneficial for your future, no matter how long and how much effort you put in, sticking to it and cultivating your talents is the best responsible attitude towards life."

　　Ichika said in surprise: "I thought Sensei is the type of Sensei who values grades... Ah, sorry, I'm sorry..."

　　"It's fine, it's not wrong for you to think so." Mafuyu replied lightly, "It is true that high scores in school determine the future, but if you are rich enough to pave the way. If you have a knack for a path you can walk, then go ahead, it's not a path you will regret."

　　"And when you can't make a choice between grades and talents, think about what is most important to you, and what will most impact the future you want..."

　　"Although usually both are important, you can't choose which one you should give up."

　　"This is really an unexpected reality..." Ichika couldn't help but laugh wryly.

　　"Because of reality we have the right to dream." Mafuyu looked away, looking at someone in the distance, and her tone became a little helpless.

　　"A man told me that there are not so many absolute things in this world, and impossible dreams are not impossible... If it's a goal worth all you give, don't make a choice, try to make it a reality. parallel to a dream."

　　"Reality… Parallel to dreams?" Ichika muttered and repeated, "But most people... They can't do it..."

　　"If you think you can't do it, it's just that your hard work hasn't reached that level yet." Mafuyu turned around, "If you want to take the path of acting, you have to work harder than others, I hope you are mentally prepared accordingly."

　　Ichika regained consciousness, and blinked: "Sensei, how did you know..."

　　"Humph." Mafuyu didn't explain, and walked towards the activity center, "While maintaining a certain level of achievement, let your talents and dreams shine, I hope you can do this point."

　　After those words fell, her figure disappeared into the darkness.

　　Even though she didn't say it, Ichika immediately guessed it. Students had to report to the school if they wanted to work outside, and Mafuyu must have known that she was an actress from that information.

　　"What a good Sensei..."

　　After being pushed by Mafuyu, Ichika was touched in her heart.

　　However, it may be different from the two aspects of value and talent that Mafuyu said. The point of the impression she got was...

"I want to do onee-san's responsibility well, but I also want to snatch the boy my little sister likes for myself… Is this what is called reality and dream?"

　　Translating what Mafuyu said in her mind, Ichika thought about it seriously.

　　Family and love are very important to her, and they will also greatly influence the future she wants. Ichika and Shinichi live together, love each other, have many children and grandchildren, and Miku sincerely blesses their future.

　　But it was a pity, judging by the current developments, this was absolutely impossible… Even if she tried hard, she didn't know where to work hard.

　　Trying to make Miku hate Shinichi?

　　Don't be ridiculous, they are quintuplets, different but similar in existence, at least after liking something or someone, they will never give up even if they want to deceive themselves, they are really the same.

　　If you like it, you can't hate it, Ichika herself is like this, and Miku should be like this.

　　But if the two of them liked him, to let Shinichi choose for himself, they would definitely fight... After all, she couldn't fight, Miku was already too far ahead of her.

　　It also means that sooner or later she will engage in even more exaggerated behavior, just to beat her sister in this war of love.

　　"The method of aligning reality and dreams... The method of emphasizing familial affection and love... What should I do..."

　　Ichika sighed.
