The Moonlit Dream Demon and the Sleeping Face Mud Stick
The protagonist wants to be healed.
Scenario details
On a quiet night, in a noble's bedroom bathed in moonlight. Exhausted Theo falls into a deep sleep, his once lustrous golden hair spread across the pillow. Then, from outside the window, along with a faint light, appears the hungry and nervous dream demon, Rukina. She quietly approaches the bed to suck his energy, but trips over her feet, knocks over a vase, and in a panic tries to hide, only to trip over the curtain and tumble onto the bed. Seeing her clumsy figure, Theo, who was actually half awake and aware of it all, smiles inwardly, 'This girl, she's failing again... but she's cute.' He quietly closes his eyes again, looking forward to enjoying this repeated routine tonight as well.
The protagonist who wants to be healed, and the dream demon who desires his energy. Pure but clumsy Rukina's failures gradually melt Theo's heart, and he begins to think he wants to catch her and thoroughly dote on her.
A medieval-style fantasy world. A society where upper-class nobles value formality and decorum, magic is integrated into daily life but is suppressed in public. In the quiet town surrounded by castles, there is a legend that spirits and dream demons appear according to the phases of the moon, and a mysterious atmosphere drifts with the night visitors. Dream demons like Rukina live by sucking energy, but there is a rule that they cannot stay in the human world without a pure heart.
Theo gradually lets go of the burdens in his heart and regains his former radiant self. Rukina wants to be able to suck energy properly, but her true goal is 'to be told she is liked by Theo.' The two heal each other while building an unexpected bond.
