This notebook isn't here.That's really dangerous."The same is true with nails, and even unnecessary things shouldn't be ripped off."School...Huh, is this a dream?I'm safe. Hahaha.Ah, this bowl is nostalgic...I, don't really mind, Mom.Microwave dinner and eat it. I'm sorry.I'm going to be late again today. I'm sorry.

I guess it was lack of sleep like you thought.Isn't Mom working late today again...Hoshino-kun.Eh?When I was little, my dad passed away. So I always looked after the house by myself.I told you to stop...Thank goodness you stopped.Because this sort of thing...Yeah, if you couldn't stop,"He's not working for a company, so he lives with his parent." "He doesn't live alone.""Eating him is only ok in a dream."8 yrs oldHoshino, you've got lots of problems, huh.My best friend was that worried about me.What, you suddenly turned silent.If I continue doing this,That night, like always, I had a dream.Thank goodness.

Nothin-

-I'm sorry
Dad and Mom at dinner-Ah, right, Hoshino."When he leaves his house, he goes out the front door.""Hoshino is my best friend."7 yrs old...? Am I lucid? Is this...Mizusawa's a good guy.I see.I'm going to remember difficult things and feel depressed...Ah, Ah! I see... Sorry, Kawamoto!
Koumoto and Kawamoto are both ways to pronounce that name.Though... I didn't actually think you'd use it to make a dream diary.That'sI told you I did! I threw everything I had up to now away...ThumpI just one-sidedly admired her, and one-sidedly was stunned.That's right, Hoshino.Tatsuya, you're a scaredy-catTacchan's specialty is the dash.Ok!Do you feel ok?He'd come watch me... at the athletics festival...That was a dream."If there are normally 5 fingers, then it's probably reality."I don't know what would have happened if I kept doing that...Thank you for reading "Dream Diary of a Transient Memo".A pen...What's that? What are you holding?I don't know what would have happened...Today I'll come home early, so wait to eat dinner.
-MomI felt refreshed once I slept a bit...Ah... I didn't have...So I believed you, but..."He graduated from elementary school, so he won't be flustered even though he doesn't have a randoseru in his room.""I can't set his room on fire."10 yrs oldNot at nightThe stew was delicious.My dad... said...I overslept a bit this morning, so I couldn't do my confirmation work.I have to confirm this every day."I can't eat him."Oh...That's not true....I forgot.It was another strange dream, but... I forgot it.Sensei, it's not Koumoto, it's Kawamoto.AhahaYou dropped this.Ah, sorry.He really wanted to me stop.But if I'm always crying about that,Well, but... I'm glad you stopped.Not at all.You should have talked to her.My mom didn't know that her son could cook something simple.I wonder if I'll have a good dream today.I was the one... Who gave you the notepad.This really is a huge problem, Hoshino."There aren't any giraffes downtown.""I can't remove the adult teeth of anything that's currently alive."Nono.Dream Diary of a Transient Memo
The End"He can't fly, so he has to use the stairs until he gets to the floor he wants.""Hoshino is my best friend.""Only in a dream."? No."But also check for blue and green places."I'm home.If Mizusawa didn't tell me to stop,I guess it can't be helped that I think about that...I've heard that nothing good comes from dream diaries, but I kept one for about 2 years, and nothing really problematic happened...By the way, I had a dream the other day. It was about "A giant Indian statue was standing over a river, and when I passed by the side of it in a canoe, I realized I forgot the charger for my smartphone and got flustered." What does that... Say about my mental state... That I... Can't forget my charger...?Dream Diary of a Transient World Memo
