章 10: Dream 'Recalling memories ?'

I was inside my dreamscape. There I saw 2 women, The 1st takes the form of a young woman. She is short and has a slender build. She has straight ash-gray hair. Her round eyes are silver. She has pale white skin. She is wearing casual clothes. She exerted a cold aura around her. She's Mina (Ice sword SIW). The 2nd one she is very tall and has a leggy build. Her hair looks as if it was dyed by blood. Her round eyes are crimson-red. She has yellowish skin. She is wearing an of armor. She is a really active and positive woman. She's Eiz (Fire dagger SIW).

"why am I being pulled here ?" I asked them in a confused manner since it never occurred before. "We don't know." They answered similarly confused as I was. "Well since I'm here how about we spar to increase my experience," I said to them while pulling out a sword and a dagger. They smirked and took out their weapon. I always get confused as for why to they don't use their respective SIW type weapon but uses a different one. Mina uses a Rapier and Eiz uses a Spear. I had questioned them before about this but they just said it felt more natural to them.

This raises a big question mark in my head, They're created from my soul, right? why do they felt natural using a weapon other than their respective types?? I have pondered this for a long time but just forget it since there's too much answer that leads to more question. Back to the present, We spared for a while but I always lose. Of course, what do you expect a man battling 2 enemies with their strongest weapon, but we didn't go all-out that's obvious since if I got hurt here the pain would be carried to my real body. This happened once before when I first awaken them and needed to prove myself to them. And God it's a really painful experience. Then suddenly I fell unconscious inside my own dreamscape ?? Before my eyes closed I saw Mina and Eiz get a hold of my body before it fell.

'Wait how's that possible ?' Looking around I saw a lot of ball floating around. So I decided to touch them. Then a surge of memories started to enter my head. It's memories about my past life or so I think because It's only a fragment, I saw my death and my childhood but everything except that is still a blur. I did saw a girl, I felt like she's really similar to Yuna but I don't know who she is. When I wanted to explore even more suddenly I woke up. I found myself on my bed with Yui on my right and Yuna on my right. I kissed them in the cheeks and decided to walk around for a bit.

I then walked towards the lake and sit right beside it, I'm trying to sort my memories. 'I felt Yuna is a really important person in my past life but who is she?' I'm kept on thinking then my SIW asked me what happened and I told them. They're silent for a while which is really suspicious and cut the connection with me. I raised an eyebrow but just ignored their actions.

[Inside the dream]

"I never thought he would regain part of his memories this fast," Mina said while frowning a little. "Yeah, I hope he doesn't remember his past lives because it could bring a lot of problems," Eiz said with uneasiness. "Let's hope he's strong enough when he remembers." "Let's just hope so."

[Back to the real (virtual) world]

'Hmm,' I was thinking about what is the trigger for me to enter my dreamscape forcefully. I couldn't seem to find solid evidence since it was the first time it has happened. 'Wait if what I saw was a fragment of my first life then shouldn't the task board update for the task progress ?' I then opened the task tab.

'Huh, that fragment only worth 0,01% really it's almost a third of my life. And why haven't I received the special skills for my wife?' I thought while being annoyed about the task. {It's because you haven't legally married them yet} I see.

~Yuna POV~

I was having a dream about a man similar to Hino. Weird isn't it but he has the same vibe personality and appearance with him. When I wanted to talk to him I woke up and seeing around I don't saw Hino on the bed I panicked a little, so I opened my friends list seeing that he's beside the lake I calmed down. I wake Yui up and told her to take a bath while I make breakfast for us.

~Hino POV~

I decided to go back home now since Yui and Yuna should've woken up. When I got home I smell a really nasty smell. 'It must be Yuna's cooking.' I licked my lips in expectation for her food since she made the tastiest food I ever tasted. With fragments of my memories are back it just makes me wanted more of her cooking.

After we eat breakfast we continued to live our daily lives. That's to spend time with each other and grind at the dungeon, We don't participate in floor bosses except if Kirito and Asuna asked for our help. We also needed to prepare yourself to battle Kayaba.
