Chapter 7: The Alluring Morning Scenery
In the early morning, a ray of golden sunlight passed through the gap in the window and shone on the face of Ulysses who was sleeping. Feeling the heat of the sun, Ulysses gradually woke up from his dream and opened his eyes.
With a big stretch, Ulysses was wide awake.
"It was really a dream! That's great! Thank the Supreme God!" After glancing around the room with his eyes for a week, Ulysses had never thought his messy room was so cute like today. The reason was that he had a nightmare last night. In that dream, he was stabbed in the heart by a masked man with a short sword and died, but after his death, he was unbelievably resurrected in his room. Then a cute and beautiful girl who could float in the air appeared in front of him. She, who called herself Aya, told him that he was resurrected because he made a contract with the book of the demon king and became the successor of the demon king named Astaroth.
That dream was so real that Ulysses still clearly remembered the fear and despair in his heart when the masked man's knife pierced his heart. At the same time, the dreamlike beauty of the beautiful girl named Aya also left a deep impression on him. To be honest, when he saw Aya, he really thought that she was a purple fairy who had walked out of a human dream, because that kind of cuteness and beauty would not exist in reality. However, now his guesses have been confirmed. The beautiful girl named Aya was indeed a cute fairy that could only exist in human dreams, and everything he had experienced last night was just a dream. The biggest evidence to support his judgment was that there was no beautiful girl named Aya in this room.
"It seems that I should read less heroic novels that have nothing to do with the priest examination. If I hadn't read too many novels that always tell how the hero fights the demon king, I would not have such an inexplicable dream." Ulysses murmured to himself. After making a summary of the reasons for having that dream, he decided to read only books related to the priest examination for the time being. After all, for him, becoming a respected priest was his biggest dream. Although those heroic novels were very interesting to read, they were of no use to him to realize his dreams. So he could only give up them temporarily.
"It's time to get up. It's almost time for practice." Ulysses was about to get up and start doing light magic practice before breakfast. This was a habit he had maintained for thirteen years.
"What is this? Did I put the steamed buns in the bed?" As Ulysses was about to throw away the quilt covering his body, his right hand touched a round soft object. He grabbed it curiously, only feeling the warmth and smoothness in his hand, it was unspeakably comfortable.
"Uhm... Master, you are getting excited such early in the morning!" As Ulysses was immersed in the wonderful touch from his right hand, a coquettish voice came from his right hand. Turning his head to see, Aya's beautiful face that could only appear in human dreams was less than half a meter away from him, and her amethyst-clear eyes were looking at him seductively.
‘Oh my god! Who can tell me what's going on! Isn't Aya the beautiful girl who appeared in my dream last night? How can it appear in reality? And still in my bed! So everything that happened last night was not a dream! I really have died once! And became the successor of the demon king!' Ulysses' mind was in a mess! The appearance of Aya made him soberly realize that what happened last night was probably not an illusory dream but a reality that couldn't be more real! ! Ulysses suddenly thought of a very important question. If the beautiful girl Aya in front of him was not the character in his dream but the actual girl, then the "steam bun" he was holding in his right hand was...
