By the time Hinari opened her eyes, she looked up at the ceiling and stared at it for a while before she sat up and rested her back on the headboard.

She looked around as she opened and closed her eyes, awakening her still sluggish nerves. She then raised her hands and she stretched as she yawned.

When she finally decided to leave the bed, her eyes suddenly opened wide. She began to remember everything that happened. She remembered that Zaki had cried in her arms. She remembered him embracing her so tightly and remembered all the words he had said.

Hinari gasped and she pinched her cheeks hard, as if she was trying to confirm whether she was still in dreamland.

"Those weren’t dreams right? I was totally awake when he said those, right?" Hinari’s heartbeat started accelerating. She felt like it was a dream so she wanted to confirm that everything was real.

"That’s right, where is my beauty? Where is he? Why is he not here?" Hinari bit her lip as she looked a bit anxious. She then crawled towards the edge of the bed when the door suddenly opened, causing her to halt. She was on her hands and knees when she raised her face and looked towards the opened door.

Zaki entered and blinked a few times the moment he saw Hinari looking like a big baby in a crawling position. Her eyes were wide as she gazed at him and she looked like she’d been waiting for him. Zaki then closed the door but before he could step closer towards her, the girl suddenly jumped on him.

"Beauty!!! Where did you go? I thought you’d run away again!" she whined. She wrapped her arms around his neck as if she was trying to stick him to her.

Noticing her anxious expression, Zaki raised his hand and touched her head.

"Did you forget that I already promised that I would never run away from you again?" As Zaki said those words, Hinari pulled away from him and she held his face. She pulled it closer to hers.

"Beauty, you said you would become my normal knight, right?"

"Mm. I said that."

"You will also confess to me after 24 hours, no, after less than 24 hours, right?"

"Y-yeah."

"You also blushed so red because I told you I want no superman but you alone, right? Right?"

"..."

Zaki was rendered speechless. He pressed his lips tight and his face was starting to feel hot.

"Beauty, my love, answer me. I want to confirm that I am not dreaming so tell me it’s not a dream!"

As soon as those words reached Zaki’s ears, he was surprised. He though she was trying to tease him. He didn’t think that she was asking all these because she actually thought that everything that happened before she fainted was just a dream. Realizing this made him feel like another warm and painless arrow struck his heart. It was because even he was thinking that way. He didn’t want to sleep for fear that when he woke up, he might find out that it was all just a dream. This was why hearing her said those words made Zaki felt like his spirit was lifted again. He can’t help but feel happy because Hinari was actually thinking the same.

Zaki then raised his hand and he flicked her forehead as a smile carved on his face.

"Ouch! Beauty! What-"

"You felt it so it means you’re wide awake," he said before he caressed her forehead again as if he was trying to soothe the pain he caused. "You are not dreaming and this is not a dream."
