[Azuma Hideo] Dream Girl (Yoru no Tobari no Naka de) [Oculolinctus Translations]

A naked man drifts into a surreal dreamscape where he is the only adult among children splashing around a quiet pond, and after stealing a kiss from a braided cutie in a bikini, he finds himself drawn to a girl with sad eyes who keeps appearing by the water. Coaxed to a lonely coffee shop, the shy curly-haired girl sheds her nervousness—and her bikini bottoms—trembling and sweating as his fingers work between her smooth thighs while shadowy onlookers watch. A farewell embrace on the stairs, a whispered promise to come for her later, and the dream dissolves into a restless waking beneath cold streetlights.
