Miss Reika,
Are you still going about your life as you always have? As usual, I continue to spend my days attempting to figure out the details of my birth, and at night, I still keep having that strange dream.
Though it seemed odd to me at first, I now find myself wholeheartedly looking forward to it. That is because for some reason, as I walk, I sometimes hear your voice from deep within the mansion, or see you wandering about vacantly.
Now that I think about it, there was a story about a "Dreaming Priestess" told in our village. It was about a priestess who takes on the emotions of many people as she goes on dreaming ceaselessly, was it not? As I kept having the dream over and over, I suddenly found myself recalling the tale about her.
I have heard that there is someone known as the Dreaming Priestess at a shrine on the other side of the mountain, who is said to never show herself even to those who visit seeking her aid. No matter how I chase after you in my dreams, you never show your face to me. It stirred up a hazy feeling within that to me, you seem just like that priestess.
I wonder if perhaps this Dreaming Priestess is scooping up my feelings as I think of you and sending me these dreams; and so, each day, I think fond thoughts of my parents and everyone from the village, too.
I must have made you feel terribly lonely, prioritising my own convenience and leaving the village without you as I did. I have not the faintest idea when it will be, but one day I shall return to the village, and I pray from the bottom of my heart that when I do, you and I will be reunited.
Until that day, please take care of yourself.
Kaname

零華 殿
その後、変はりなく過ごしているだらうか。
僕のほうは相変はらず、自分の出生をたどる毎日だ。
そして夜には、これもまた変はらず
あの不思議な夢を見続けてゐる。
初めのうちは奇妙に思えたものが
今ではすつかり心待ちにしてしまつてゐるやうだ。
というのも、なぜか僕の歩みに合わせて
屋敷の奥から君の声が聞こえたり
虚ろにさまよう君の姿が見えたりするからなのだよ。
さういえば僕たちの村に「寝目の巫女さま」の話があつたね。
たくさんの人の想いを受け入れて、
夢を見続けるといふ寝目の巫女、という謂れであつただらうか。
繰り返しこんな夢を見ているうちに
ふいに巫女さまのことを思ひ出してしまつた。
あの山の向こうのお社には
そのお力におすがりしようと訪れる者にすら
決して姿を見せてはくれぬといふ
寝目の巫女さまという方がいると聞いたことがある。
夢の中でどんなにその背を追おうとも
顔を見せてはくれぬ君は
まるでその巫女さまみたいなものだと
おぼろげに感じてしまつたのだ。
君を想ふ僕の気持ちを
寝目の巫女さまがすくい上げて
こんな夢を届けてくれてゐるのかもしれないと
そんな風に考えてみながら
村の皆や父母にも
思いを馳せてゐるやうな毎日だ。
僕自身の個人的な都合を優先して
独りで村を出てきてしまひ
大層寂しい思ひをさせてゐることだらう。
いつになるのかいまは見当もつかないが
きつと村に戻つて
君と再会できることを心から願つてゐる。
それまで、どうか元気で。
要
