A Misunderstood Mentor

"What do we do? If you're going to town, I'll show you around."

Countless buildings create a vortex of light and paint the darkness of the night.

Makie spoke to me as she gazed at a world she had never seen before.

Still, my head is confused and I don't work well.

Still, I'll get back to you.

"Ah, ah, yeah, yeah, please."

"Nh, well, put this on."

That said, Makie took out something made of transparent thin material that she had never seen before.

"What is this?

"The latest face shield. If we're going to the city, we have to wear this."

Why is that?

I didn't ask.

If you ask me everything I don't know about this world, I probably don't know.

First, let's follow her and see for ourselves.

"Is this it?

"Yeah, whoa. Okay, let's go."

Makie wore the same thing and they went out side by side.

Your eyes are dazzled by the brightness of the sun, neither the sun nor the torch lights.

You can feel such a distortion (snoring) as if you forced the night into daytime.

Walking behind Makie, the far-sighted structure approached.

A giant square sole stretches toward the sky as if it were competing for height.

What makes you so high?

It's not even the biggest building in the world I've ever lived, it's not half as tall.

Many people come and go from the building, and everyone is wearing clothes they've never seen before.

No, speaking of which, the footage Nagisa brought showed people dressed the same way.

"Don't be so gloomy. Because they think I'm a country man."

"Oh, oh, sorry."

I'm not much of a country person.

A complete alien.

I want you to forgive me for being a little suspicious.

"I'll buy you some clothes later. But before that, I'm hungry, so let's eat."

"... rice"

When I said it was like this, I got hungry when I heard about dinner.

The left lip, which is not Makie's machine, smiles when I hear it.

"All right, I'll take you to my store."

In the meantime, I thought about the future after dinner.

"... is this it? Oh, a festival, huh?

After walking through the huge buildings, a strange sight jumped in again.

In front of you stands the largest triangular structure ever built.

It was lit up with red light and on the front it was written "New World" in huge letters.

In addition, flashy signs and glowing buildings line the narrow area, as overlooked by the building.

The first of them was.....

"Nah, what? What about the big, round fish floating in that universe?

"Oh, yeah. It was gone once, but when this place became the capital, it was hung again."

The bulging, giant, round fish took on an unusual shape that didn't exist in the world I lived in.

Like a balloon, it's storing air in its body and floating in space.

In addition, golden dolls are enshrined in various places in the city.

Is this our god?

"Mr. Bilichen, are you okay?

"Huh? No, no, it's okay. Nah, it's nothing."

Is it another world custom?

I don't know what it means to be a god.

Let's avoid the unknown for now.

I don't know what's going to happen.

As I walked through the city, I heard a powerful voice.

Apparently, there are food stores all over the city, and everyone is calling in to have them eat in their own shops.

The smell of food floats from everywhere I've never smelled before.

But what bothered me more was that the words of the caller were intonations that I had heard.

This is from Karna and Chloe....

"Oh, I'm doing the old revival. I love this movie."

Makie stops in front of a sign.

There was a picture of a man in a kimono holding a knife and staring at him.

And I recognize that man's face.

"... this guy"

"Yeah, it's so tender and cool. It's called Kodai Ryunosuke. Originally a Kabuki actor from Osaka, I turned to a movie actor. But all of a sudden, he disappeared."

"Yeah, that's right."

Definitely.

From the battle in the prairies, I'm Ensche, Chairman Barbaroi's secretary.

Speaking of which, I think Carna and Chloe called it exactly.

Was he human in this world?

So when Karna and Chloe get excited, is the word similar to the word here?

How long has this person been in our world?

I have no idea.

"Here it is. This way, this way."

Makie invites her at the entrance to the store.

When I entered, there were no table seats, only counters, and there were tightly lined up chairs beside me.

Rather than a restaurant, it's an image of being closer to a tavern.

I was guided by a clerk and tried to sit side-by-side with Makie.

"Ah, on the contrary, on my side."

Are you worried about the machine on the left half?

Makie sits back on my left.

"Ah, it has nothing to do with machinery. The girl's left side settles down. I always sit in the passenger seat."

I see.

I don't know what it is, but I will reply appropriately.

There's really a lot of information coming in and I'm confused.

Let's eat first.

If you don't put something in your stomach, you can't think properly.

"Grandma, the usual one, in private."

"Yes, it's been a long time, Maki. I'll serve you."

An elderly shopkeeper who has grown up talks a lot.

Are you familiar with your regular face?

The store owner is not upset about half of the machines.

"Maki-chan, next to you, is that it? Your new boyfriend?

"Not at all. No, I've never had an old boyfriend before."

Really, there's still a chance for my grandmother.

"Yes, please hurry. I'm starving."

The owner can't rest cooking while tapping lightly.

He is baking a round object that he has never seen on a giant plate made of iron.

There is a silver shiitake in both hands, which is manipulated skillfully, turning the round object over beautifully.

The beauty of the technique was gorgeous and wonderful that I wouldn't have achieved when I was a good cook.

No way, this store owner.

Not at all likely, but a culinary master in this world!?

"Yes, I made a skewer and cutlet assortment first. Eat it."

"Uhah, you're here. Eat, eat."

The sole, which was filled with circles on a beautiful round plate, was apparently fried with meat and vegetables, finely stamped with wooden sticks and skewered.

Can I eat it as it is?

When I took it in my hand, Makie pointed to the small silver box in front of me.

There's a bunch of black liquids in there I've never seen before.

"No way, are you going to eat with this on?

As she nodded, Makie put a skewer in there silently.

Then, the black stained sole is wrapped up without asking any questions.

Mmm...

Makie's expression conveys the feeling that it is very delicious.

But is it true that this creepy black liquid like ink has that kind of power?

Put the liquid on the skewer and carry it to your mouth for a little bit of fear.

"Nhhhh!

Unexpectedly, it becomes the same as Makie.

What is this taste?

The taste that I have never tasted before spreads into my mouth.

How many materials have you mixed into this liquid?

There are several kinds of vegetables and fruits, a wide variety of spices, and even acidic seasonings, all mixed together in a remarkable proportion.

Besides, it goes perfectly with fried meat and is a stunning mariage that gently envelops the persistence of oil.

Regretting that only a little of this magical liquid had been applied, she took a bite of the skewer back to the silver box.

Bam, all of a sudden, your hand is hit and your skewer rolls down the table.

Makie chopped my hand on the right hand, not the machine.

Then, with the left hand of the remaining machine, he points to the letters on the silver box.

"Sauce is prohibited twice."

It was written in red, and it was written so big.

Give it up and put your best efforts on the second one.

A one-time rule?

Apparently there are strict rules in this world.

Nod honestly, and then taste it with plenty of liquid just like Makie.

Holy shit!

The flavor that I've never tasted before spreads into my mouth.

"I still have the main one. Don't get hungry."

A mysterious round object baked on an iron plate was the main thing!

Even though it's delicious enough, I can't hide my joy that the main thing is coming.

If you can, remember this flavor and let Alice and the others....

"... ah"

Unexpectedly, I hear a voice.

I completely forgot about the original world because it was so delicious.

That's right. Not if you're eating breathlessly.

Alice and I may still be fighting over there.

"What? Suddenly you look serious. Do you think maybe if you're eating out of breath?

Makie talks like she's peeking into my heart.

Instead of answering, I put the skewer back on the plate.

"Let's have some fun. Don't think about it."

That's not how it works.

Indeed, I was a king full of lies.

But still, I'm sure Alice and I...

"You can't do anything back in the world. [M] That's what I've always thought you were the strongest."

Since when?

At the heart of everything, for some reason, I felt like I was there.

"But it just disappeared from me."

It was too irrational, too annoying, and it was like trying to escape.

But someday, I'll do that every day.....

You're not the hero anymore.

I thought it was very important.
