After a discussion with everyone, I was taking a trip to a nearby tavern and restaurant to get dinner.
"Well... you're acting different again..."
My classmate Navata, who has spent a lot of time with me lately, made a slightly lower tone voice next to me.
Until just now, this guy was exploring the labyrinth with the ice rooms.
And then we just joined up and it became a stream called 'Let's Take Dinner Together', which continues to this day.
"What, you miss me without me?
"Oh, that's not true! I don't miss you at all, so don't go anywhere! Look, tell him from you, too, Ice Room!
"Oh, I suppose so. Just because one or two Ichinose are gone doesn't make us any different. You're a little over-conscious, aren't you?
"Mm..."
As always, the ice room has a beard against me.
I mean, why are you eating mesh near us every time?
I don't mind.
"But are you really glad you took such a quest?
"What are you trying to say?"
"You don't know. I'm asking you if you can behave well with adventurers."
"... that's not a problem"
I think I'm a communal handicap, but an adventurer would be able to deal with me well.
"Adventurers are a weak predator profession. If I keep fighting like I always do, they'll admit it."
"... well, it's your only thing to say, the fight is"
I usually hate the ice room, but I only admit my player skills.
They often call me a combat idiot, but that's a compliment to me.
"Damn...... it's really good to have Ichinose come to Earth. Even a warrior like you takes this world kindly."
"Right. In that regard, I thank God of Earth."
"Ha..."
The ice room is sighing loudly as you look at me.
You must have realized that hatred doesn't make sense at all.
"Speaking of God... do you guys know there's such a story out there?
When I thought about it, the ice room suddenly changed the subject and asked me and Navata.
"Earth's God is at the bottom of the underground labyrinth waiting for us players to come and help. And if you succeed in rescuing that god, you will give us only one god miracle."
"That's a game-age setup, isn't it? There's no way that it's a miracle of God, even though it's doubtful if God is really waiting behind the underground labyrinth."
"I was half-hearted, too. But these days, investigators have come up with this topic with some certainty."
"What's the confirmation?
"I don't even know that. It's just that kind of atmosphere."
…………
Listening to the exchange between Navata and the ice room, I spoon drinks up the stew in front of me as I disguise myself as faceless.
I'm probably the source of these guys' conversations.
I wonder what the certainty is that I told the teachers about my conversation with Cross.
For once, he seems to be lying low about me being in touch with God, but I get a little hissed.
Even if a lot of people find out about it, it's just Mendow.
"But what exactly is God's miracle?
"According to my purchased information, you can revive the dead, or you can only revive them once when you're dead, or something"
"... revive? Then... could... Sendo or something be revived by Earth...?
…………
…………
Me and the ice room listened to Navata and got stiff on the spot.
Sure, as far as listening to Cross, I guess that's what I said is possible.
Reviving an already retired classmate may or may not be possible.
"... even if I revive you, there's no certainty that your memory will come back, is there?
"But... that's possible, isn't it? If I help God and make that wish, there's a chance they'll come back, right?
"... even if that were possible, only one wish by one first person would God grant me a wish. Shouldn't you expect more than one resuscitation?
"Oh well... Oh well..."
…………
Navata is beneath her heartfelt regrettably.
I guess Sendo and the others were hard company for this guy.
I'd like to revive you if I could, but if I really did that, it's visible that dissatisfied voices erupt from the rest of us.
The Sendokus aren't the only ones who retired from Earth.
"So, Ichinose has been pretty quiet since just now. What the hell is wrong with you?
"Nothing... I was just being quiet because I thought it wouldn't make sense to talk like that right now"
"Doesn't make sense?
"If God would grant me a wish, that would end up going in a direction that wouldn't. It's a lot more convenient."
"Well...... sure"
The underground labyrinth is not sweet enough to go solo and attack.
Always require action on a party-by-party basis and on a raid basis.
If so, it would mean that saving God is simultaneous with more than one person.
Even though there are multiple humans who have saved God, there is only one miracle God gets.
Except when it comes to boobs the spectacular Battle Royal on the spot, but that shouldn't happen if it were normal.
Wishes will be determined by the generality of the Earthlings (players) or will fit with a policy of not wishing.
"Welcome. Then I'll go back to the inn first."
I had trouble responding to any more god-related stories, so I finished my stew early and headed to the store exit.
But is it a miracle of God?
Earth actually has a presence called God, but if you can do it, you want to live a life that doesn't rely on that.
"You looked like you were having fun talking to the ice room guys earlier, Shin-kun."
After dinner, I was walking alone in the alley near the inn to get some air outside.
Then he was called from behind.
Even if I don't turn around, I know who's there.
I felt her coming after me shortly after I left the store, so much so that I was walking a little late.
"What, are you chasing me? Sakya."
"Yeah, I saw Sing-kun leaving the store."
Sakya was behind me.
No longer, if it was her sign, it went from the stage before she could speak to being perceptible.
Weird technology is improving.
"You don't have to fit me in. Until just now, Sakuya was also bickering with the Minas, right?
"That, you looked right at me. Exactly."
"... it's not like I was watching it consciously. It's just as common for me to know where the Reid members are."
It's shaq even if you tweak Sakya in a weird breeze.
I walk faster, just to put it mildly.
"Don't be such an idiot, let's walk slowly, shall we?
…………
But Sakya, who had caught up with me as soon as I ran, told me to slow down my walk.
I don't hate what I'm doing with Sakuya.
If she wants to walk slowly, she thinks she can do enough to go with it.
"Shin-kun has something childish about it sometimes, doesn't he? Because you express what you think at a walking speed like you do now."
You're childish or something, Mina told me before.
The thing about being mucky and hating to lose is childish, or something like that.
So if you mean childish, Kengo or something is more childish.
"But that place is cute, too. Sing-kun."
"Stop it. Cute isn't a compliment or anything to a man"
Or was I supposed to be cute or something from Sakuya?
If that's the case, we need you to reform your consciousness as soon as possible.
Because you didn't say no to me being cute.
"So how do you want Shin-kun to look at himself?
"Well, that's a masculine choice"
"I've always admired you for being manly. That's the answer, Shin-kun."
"No, I don't admire you. I was masculine enough in the first place."
"Then let me show you something masculine."
"Oh, hey, what?"
Sakya took my arm there and pulled it into the alley.
There are only two of us in the alley, me and Sakya.
The time is night, so the alley on the surface wasn't crowded either, but this place is so secluded that we can only hear it.
"... what are you doing all of a sudden"
"Why don't you show me how masculine you are?"
"Let me see..."
This is... don't get a little arrogant air.
"Nobody's watching you now."
"... so what?"
"Mmmm... Sing-kun isn't manly because he doesn't get gay in that place, is he?
"... because that's not the kind of manhood I'm after"
The kind of manhood that tries to do something with Sakuya here is not what you call it.
I prefer a gentleman, not a beast.
"Ah, Shin-kun. There's a stew on your cheek."
"Huh? Is that true?
"Yeah, I'll take it for you."
"Oh, oh, there is... Huh!
Sakya suddenly looked closer and licked my cheek with her tongue.
Is that it?
I'm pretty sure Sakuya licked the stew on her cheek, right?
Then, well... keep it safe.
Let's keep it down to a degree of caution.
"Sakya...... doing that on the side of the road is - WHAT!!!!!
... Sakya's tongue slowly moved from my cheek to my lips.
It is out.
"Hmm... Chu... Hey, Shin, if you keep your mouth shut so tight, you can't put your tongue in it"
"... No, what do you do all of a sudden"
"What, a kiss? I'm going to be away for a while, so I'm going to replenish the Sin-kun ingredient now."
"Even if they say that with a cheeky face..."
This isn't the first time I've kissed Sakuya.
But I've refrained from doing that before.
And yet I can't believe I kissed you so abruptly.
"I like you, Sin, and you like me, too. I don't think that's the best thing about it."
"But..."
"I know Sing-kun likes multiple girls at the same time and feels a burden, but that's why don't you just keep rejecting what we're saying is good"
"Ugh..."
Sakya, don't poke me exactly where it hurts.
Sometimes you just look good at me from time to time.
"Well, I'm glad to hear that, too, because the psychology of doing weird things and not hurting us is also working."
"... it's mine. I'm just saying it's hectic. I'm doing it because I don't want to hurt myself by hurting Sakya and the others."
"I was aware of that."
"... sort of"
There's a big reason why I don't actively flirt with the Sakyas because I'm freaking out.
I'm worried that if I do that, I'll hurt them.
There's no way I can do more than that, even now when I'm inside freaking out if I'm hurting someone for having a weird romantic relationship.
"I don't think you need to worry about that much, do you? It's normal to have sex with someone you like."
"So... you always say girls shouldn't say that easily"
Every time a direct word pops out of Sakya's mouth, I become aware of her.
Because I'm your age, too.
"Mmmm...... Sin-kun's concept of chastity is amazingly expensive for a lot of people. If it's Yuruyul, I'm in trouble too, so I hope so."
I cannot deny Sakya's analysis.
I've thought about Dr. Hayakawa before that he's an old value guy, but I can't tell you about people either.
Sometimes you lose temptation if you touch your chest or something like that, but when it comes to more than that, it's a guy named me who can't do it as soon as possible.
"So... if the other way around...?
"? Reverse?
"Sing-kun, let's get married"
"Ha!?
I raised my voice to the sudden Sakuya proposal.
Fuck, it's a marriage.
All of a sudden the subject flew.
"No, wait, Sakuya. We're still old enough to do that."
"Don't you know? We can get married in Earth, right?
"... ah"
Speaking of which, children were certified as adults earlier on Earth.
So if you're about our age, you can't legally blame me for drinking, and you can even get married.
Is Sakya talking about getting married in Earth, not Earth?
"On Wolds, you can get a bigamy, so you can marry me and Phil and Mr. Krall at the same time."
"Not really. Even if that's the case institutionally, it's still too early for that."
"Can you swear I'll be by your side for the rest of my life?
"Ugh..."
As I wandered around, Sakuya came into my nose softly.
She teases her arms around my torso and she graciously hugs me.
"When we get married, we'll set up our house in Earth and live there. So, your daily income is earned by doing your job as an investigator. Is it also my hand to make money from research related to alien powers? I know it wasn't about me, but I'm sure Shin-kun's psychic powers would give the Bureau preferential treatment, too."
…………
I heard Sakuya's light future plan and wondered if it would be a bit good too.
As psychics, we won't be in a decent position in the future unless we lose our psychic powers.
I hear that the alien exclusion movement on Earth is increasing in intensity with each day it follows.
When it comes to the work we can do in such a way, things like Sakya say go first.
The latter, to put it badly, means it becomes a guinea pig for heterogeneous research, but well it shouldn't be done to come off as a person.
In fact, I hear that people in society with alien powers earn steady income by actively participating in these kinds of alien studies.
And the former is no different from what we're doing right now.
It's a work of nature for me to have nothing but battle to do with exploring and adventuring while fighting a fierce monster to discover the world of Earth.
I don't know how long I can do this job, but the job I'm going to get in the future will definitely be this one first.
"I know Sing-kun hesitates because he doesn't know if he can take responsibility for his relationship with us, but if he gets married, I guess that kind of anxiety can be removed too"
Sure, Sakya might be right.
I still thought I was a child.
I assumed I was in a position where I couldn't take responsibility.
But I'm a fine adult in Earth.
Besides, if you graduate from school, the Genius Development Agency will hire us.
Now that I'm a student, I only get tuition waivers and a penny or so, but the original investigator seems to be getting paid there on Earth as well.
As far as Kengo is concerned, it can change quite a bit around there, depending on strength and outcome?
I mean, if I keep this up, I'm not gonna have any trouble feeding the future.
Strong Earthlings (players) can be treasured unless the ground investigation is broken.
It also means working together, but Sakya and the others should earn more than enough money by working with me.
In conclusion, it will be possible for us to build a family in the future.
It could be a children's dream story, but there was a dream story there that could be realized if it worked.
"... maybe not too bad"
"Huh!? Could you marry me!? Then let's enroll right away! Ah! I have to say hello to Shin-kun's parents first! Besides, I have to introduce you to my family."
"Wait, wait, wait, wait. No, I didn't say I was still getting married."
I'm gonna gouge my body over, put my hand on Sakya's shoulder, stop it, calm her down.
"But you said it wasn't bad, right? You just said it wasn't a bad idea to marry me, right?
"Well... yes... but wait a minute. Even if it's not bad, this kind of thing is a one-organism decision, and you're gonna have to do a lot of research to see if you can really do that. So I think we need some time to think about it."
"How much time do you have to think about it?
"... enough to finish my job this time... I guess"
I thought we shouldn't let the momentum in this place flow. I set a deadline until I gave Sakya an answer.
As for time, I have about six months, and I have quite a bit of room.
It's also a kanji that makes me wait that long for a reply, but until then, I can't help it because I don't know if I can get time either.
"Yeah, okay. Then think about it."
"... you pulled it off so badly"
"My suggestion suddenly passed, too. I'll wait forever if you think about it properly. Tell Phil and the others, then."
Always, Sakya says, but let's get an answer as soon as possible.
Though the suggestion she took was abrupt, it still gave me a respite to think about.
That's her generosity, so it wouldn't be a good idea for me to be too sweet about it.
"Heh heh - you're marrying Shin. Looking forward to it."
…………
Nevertheless, how about this mouthful like you've already decided to get married?
I didn't say I'd still be married.
I thought so as I watched Sakuya tangled up in my arms and seemed happy, but I thought I couldn't have said anything about people myself trying to make a positive consideration for this story, and I was quietly loosening my cheeks, being careful not to let her see me like this.
