[center][h3]The Crusades In The Afterlife Of Sakura Aoba; Continuation[/h3][/center] 

The girl I asked to pinch me looked at me as if I had three head, though she still complied with my request. Though when I didn't wake up from the dream after the harsh pinch the girl gave me, I started to worry a bit more. 

Was it indeed not a dream and this was in fact some kind of twisted afterlife? Nah, can't be. My imagination is flying a bit too much. 

Should make a comic about that later, though. 

My thoughts are derailed when the lights go out and several students gasp with fear. Ah, if I just were popular, women would be leaning forward towards me for me to shelter them from whatever scary monsters might be hiding in the dark...

Though I say so, I don't think I'd stand the physical contact for too long so it is better like this, not to mention that I am so skinny I could protect nothing with these tiny arms of mine. Besides, all of my efforts are better used at thinking up new comics. God knows I need to make better comics. I left school for 'em, after all. 

In any case, I need to figure a way out of this dream, and the people are starting to crowd a bit too much for what I am comfortable with. I should go look for a nice and lonely corner where I can get my thoughts back in order and stop fantasizing about this.

At this point, I think I was trying a bit too hard to convince myself of the fact that this was a dream. Maybe because I don't know what I'll do if I'm really dead. But that's not possible, right? 

What kind of heaven looks like a school and has hot girls as Student Council presidents? Not one of 'em showed up in Buddhism, more like I should've been reincarnated, don't cha think? 

[color=blue]"ARGH! I'm so confused right now!"[/color] I hold my head between my hands. [color=blue]"I should get another helping of rice to help me relieve this headache."[/color] I sigh.
