“Dollargut won’t ask such trivial questions.
Even middle school students passing by know that.”
When Penny frowned, Assam reached out and patted her shoulder.
“Don’t worry, Penny.
I've heard a lot about him as I've been coming and going.
Even so, I'm quite a bit of a nerd.
“I’ve been working in this alley for over ten years now.”
Assam quickly continued before Penny could ask her age again.
“Dollargut likes to talk about vague dreams.
I'm not sure, but I'm probably not asking a question with a clear answer.
So, actually, I came here to tell you this.”
Assam threw down the rental robe he had been carrying on his shoulders onto the floor and began searching for something.
As I dug through the mountain of gowns, a small bundle popped out.
As Assam opened the bundle, a pile of sleeping socks poured out.
“No, this is not it. I carry this around to give to customers with cold hands and feet….
Right, yeah.
Here it is!”
Assam took out a thin booklet the size of a palm from inside the bundle.
The thick, light blue book cover had a title luxuriously decorated with gold leaf.

From “The Third Disciple’s Historic Store”

Oh no, he was gone.
Plus, the bottle of ‘Thrill’ he was giving me instead… .
We're in trouble.
Penny felt a chill run down her spine.
Was he a conman? He must have spotted the penny while he was out every morning, staring blankly at his prey, his face blank and his hand clasped with something of value.
Without even knowing it, I blurted out that I was a newbie, so I would have been a perfect target for the mouthwatering prey.
No matter how hard I searched, I couldn't find the man.
Penny was now too exhausted to walk another step carrying the heavy bottle.
Penny tried to deposit the remaining bottle, but her turn had long since passed.
To make matters worse, the number plate was nowhere to be found.
Since she could no longer afford to leave the front desk empty, she had no choice but to return to the store.

From "Midnight Love Guide"

“Don’t you want to have a precognitive dream?”
“It’s no fun knowing the content in advance.
It's the same with movies and life.
“Spoilers are just disgusting.”
“Have you ever wondered if you could become a famous screenwriter?”
“Not at all.
Rather, it would be really unfortunate if I knew in advance.
Even if you see a good future, there is no guarantee that it will be real, so you might become lazy for no reason.
If things don't work out, the frustration will only grow."
“Everyone is curious about their final destination, but are you saying that you are not?”
This time, Mrs. Weather asked a question.
Penny could see that Mrs. Weather and Dollargut were very excited right now.
"Destination? People aren't like self-driving cars that only look to their final destination.
You have to learn how to start the car yourself, step on the accelerator, and occasionally apply the brakes to get the most out of it.
Becoming a famous writer isn't everything.
I like living by writing screenplays.
“Whether we reach the coast or the desert, we’ll understand when we get there.”
Dollargut was staring at her intently.

From "Precognitive Dream"

“Dollargut, how many people leave behind their dreams?”
“A lot of people try to leave a legacy.
“There are even shops that specialize in this.”
“Every day since I started working here has been a surprise.
“When you think there’s nothing more surprising, something even more surprising happens.”
“I see? That sounds like a lot of fun to work on.” Dollargut laughed.
“It’s really amazing, just like you said.
Whether it's a sudden accident or a long illness, people who sleep seem to instinctively sense their lives slipping away.
Perhaps, in the absence of external stimulation, our primal senses become more acute.”
“I don’t really know about such difficult stories.”
Penny began clearing out the old boxes in Dollargut's office and putting them into clean boxes.
“Still, I know very well that I must cherish these dreams.
“I can’t fully fathom the feelings of the guests who left this dream behind.”
“People are bound to try to convey a message to those who will be left behind in some way.”
“It’s too early to think about it, but I also want to think about what I’ll say later.”
“That’s a good idea too.
If I were you….
“I think he’ll leave a message saying, ‘Never forget me,’ or ‘Never hand over the store to just anyone,” Dollargut joked.
“But when you actually meet the guests, they say they don’t even think about leaving.
I just hope the rest of us are okay.
I guess that's what it's like to leave someone you love behind.
“I don’t know for sure yet.”
Penny felt a pang in her nose as she looked at the boxes filled with the years.
She meticulously wiped away every speck of dust left in the box.
“Mr. Dollargut.”
“Why is that?”
“I really like this job.”
“I like it too,” Dollargut replied plainly.

From "Dreams Sent to You by an Anonymous Guest"

Penny was able to make it to the stop for her commuter train on time thanks to skipping breakfast.
Penny checked with her hand that the pass she had hanging around her neck was still in place, then put her hand back in her coat pocket.
I slept late last night, so I kept yawning until my jaw was aching. The bus stop was located in front of Adria's Kitchen, a grocery store on the hill near my house.
The grocery store, which was open from early in the morning, was crowded with diligent people looking for the morning sale.
Penny stood a little way back from the grocery store so as not to disturb the people coming and going through the door.
There were five or six people at the bus stop who had arrived before Penny, all of them with earphones in their ears and their arms crossed, hunched over in case someone spoke to them.
It seemed like everyone wanted to spend some leisurely time alone before going to work.
Penny was starting to get a little excited at the thought of catching the train to work soon.

Among the “Civil Affairs Management Office”

“For our guests, this is the beach of their dreams.
It may be scary right now, but the farther you go from these shores, the deeper your true world will become.
“I am glad that you also had a dream and came to a full realization.”
"yes.
It was a dream I really needed.
Thanks to you, I now know what decision I need to make.
I think I should stop getting so personally close to the people here now… .
Instead of coming here often, I'll close my eyes tighter and sleep soundly.
And we must live diligently in the world we were in.”
"is it so.
It's unfortunate, but I also think the customer's decision was right.
“I have one request to make.”
“What is it?”
“The ability to lucid dream will probably disappear suddenly and in the near future.”
“Huh? Is that true?”
“High-level lucid dreamers, like you, usually lose that ability before the age of twenty.
I guess I've held out for a long time now.
So, it would be best to prepare yourself mentally.”
"okay….
Maybe I won't be able to say a proper goodbye.
“Even if I disappear, please take good care of my eyelid scales.”
“You can visit our dream department store anytime, but you won’t be able to lucid dream.”
Dollargut comforted the woman.
“Still.
You probably won't remember anymore...
“If that’s the case, then from my perspective it’s goodbye forever.”

From "The Dream Only Otra Can Create"

“What is that person making?”
People watched Maxim while gossiping.
“Thank you for waiting so long.
Fortune cookies are given out on a first-come, first-served basis.
“This is free.”
Maxim placed a large sign prominently alongside a tray full of fortune cookies.

People who received ice cream also started taking fortune cookies one by one.
Penny wanted to grab a fortune cookie right away, but she felt like if she got out of line to order ice cream, she'd be pushed way back.
Penny mentally counted the number of people in front of her, wondering if they were running low on fortune cookies, and then realized that the man in front, more intently choosing ice cream than anyone else, was Dollargut.
“Mr. Dollargut!”
When Penny called out to him happily, Dollargut came over to Penny, taking a bite of green ice cream.
He didn't bring any fortune cookies.
“Penny, this ice cream is really good.
But this bright red truck.
“Isn’t it obvious whose taste it is?”
“I had no idea that Nicholas and Maxim had started a new business.
"But wouldn't you like to take that fortune cookie? It's free! I'd like to try one."
“Penny, when you eat the free candy Nicholas gives you, you have to be prepared to have a rough night’s sleep.
Especially cookies made with Maxim… .
“Maybe the dream will become very violent.”
Dollargut said meaningfully.

From "Santa Claus in the Off-Season"

"Dollargut! All the dreams I've prepared are sold out.
This is all because I worked hard to attract customers outside.
“Don’t forget this when you negotiate your salary next year!” Mo Tae-il shouted from afar.
“Mo Tae-il is still full of energy.
One event like this won't bring back all your regular customers right away.
There will still be a lot of people at the civil affairs office and at the laundromat.
But we have all kinds of dreams and we just have to wait.
that…."
“Because everyone has times like that.
“Right?”
At that moment, a customer who had approached the front desk gave Penny and Dollargut a nod and tried to leave the store.
The guest came empty-handed.
“Customer, have you not found a dream you like?”
“Yes, I feel like I can sleep without dreaming today.”
The guest smiled shyly.
"that's right.
“There are days like that,” Penny answered leisurely.
“It’s surprising that a store clerk would say that.
“I thought you were going to catch me,” the customer said, stopping in his tracks and turning to Penny.
“There’s no need to rush.
“We’ll meet every day.”
Penny's face was bright with a smile.
That expression was quite similar to that of the Dollargut next to him.
“Customer, the Dream Department Store will always be here.”
