《Hello Nightmare》7
Advertisement
In the nurse room,
What type of Region is that? It's nothing. Just a dark space…
The teacher wakes up from the body that she shot before. There's no mark of the shot left on her head. The blue bullet is also already gone as she has never been shot.
She looks around, Hiroshi's body with the destroyed head still on the bed untouched from its position, the same as Toshi's body on the floor. She comes to Hiroshi's body and checks the pulse and his heartbeat. After that, she checks Toshi's body.
They are dead, no pulse or heartbeat can be heard. I thought he would survive that… I'm not shooting his core… Well, whatever… I don't have time for this.
"Himiko!"
She suddenly called out a name.
"Y-yes ma'am!"
A small white fox suddenly appears flying through the window, answering the teacher with a cute child voice.
"Dispose of their body…"
The fox stared at the two bodies.
"W-why are there two of them?"
She was confused about the situation.
The teacher just ignored her question.
"Puff!"
She suddenly transforms into a girl with short white hair and a bang. She is wearing a white gown for a kid and not wearing any shoes.
"B-but they still haven't died…"
"Huh? Are you kidding? What do you mean?"
"I-I don't know, their life force... is still intact with their body."
"I already checked their pulse and heartbeat, there's no way they are alive. Just get rid of their body already."
"H-huh...I-I don't want to eat something that doesn't die...it will make me a killer!"
"Don't get the wrong idea. I'm the one who kills them! Now-"
"L-look!"
Himiko pointed her right hand toward Hiroshi's body. It started moving on its own, the pieces from his shattered head that separated from his body weirdly crawling back toward his main body.

Pieces by pieces joined together to create his head back just like the original one without any change. A second later, Hiroshi's head completely turned back to normal while he was still not conscious.
"Urgh…"
The one who the teacher taught was already dead, received his heartbeat back. His pulse started to drive his consciousness back to his body. Slowly, Hiroshi opened his eyes to see the world.
"What is happening here, Himiko?"
The teacher with a clueless expression asked.
"I-I don't know! Didn't you shoot his core in his Region?"
"I can't find his core… So, I get out before my bullet becomes less than five. "
"Uhm what I know is the Nightmare that doesn't get tamed will get back to their original body with the same condition they were in before...there will be no regeneration or whatever...but, the problem here is there's no Nightmare with the human body before…"
"Huh? I thought it's normal for a Nightmare to have the original human body? You said about him before like he was not special or anything."
"O-oh re-really hehe...hehe… I must forget to tell you then...hehe."
"The only funny thing here is the splat sound when I crash your head to the ground."
"H-haa! S-sorry! I'm s-sorry ma'am. Promise I will not f-forget anything after this! S-spare me! B-but you are a Daymare, right? Don't you already know about this? You should learn about it, right?"
"Huh? Say it again…"
The teacher looks at Himiko with a bitter and sharp gaze. Himiko's words probably make her wind up.
"Ug-ugh I'm sorry! I don't mean like that! I'm sorry!"
"Huh?"
In the middle of their conversation, Hiroshi already finds his consciousness and sits on the bed. He looks at the teacher and Himiko repeatedly.

...Uhm, why am I here again? Urgh...I'm from the class, then they brought me here...Oh, is this a grocery store?
Hiroshi doesn't remember anything from the dark space. He only remembers the situation from his class.
"M-ma'am, what should we do to him?"
"Srss…"
A weird sound suddenly comes from Toshi's body that lies on the floor.
"H-hah? What is that?"
Himiko seems a little startled.
...Now what?
The teacher seems calm even though she also doesn't know what happened.
Hiroshi doesn't say anything and just looks at Toshi's body.
It gradually becomes like a piece of paper being burned by fire. His body turned into black ashes and vanished into the air.
"Ma'am…"
Himiko suddenly becomes pale. The coming of bad news was all written on her face.
"What?"
"H-his life force...it's gone…he's d-dead for sure..."
"Oh, really? How can that be?"
The teacher doesn't seem to really care about it except for the cause of it.
"I-I don't know…"
"What about that one? Does it still have his life force?"
The teacher looks at Hiroshi who is still on the bed.
"Oh…h-he's still had it...w-wait…"
"Huh? Why? What's wrong? He's gone too?"
"There's t-two of it…"
"Huh?"
The teacher was confused by Himiko's statement.
"His life force...it's become t-two now…"
