After preparing for the journey, I temporarily returned from Earth.

Permission to expedite to the Meermill Continent, even on Earth.

Let me finish all the formalities in Earth.

This would be a waste of time.

You're not accommodating in a weird place.

Though I tried to be stupid...

Sometimes it's something you can't do without coming back to Earth.

For example, the sympathy of Mizuno, who is still hospitalized in a hospital facility, or something.

"Well, that sort of thing spared us from the administration."

"Oh, did that happen..."

I prepared the paperwork for the expedition and submitted it to the school. I visited the hospital room with Mizuno.

Looking at the Earth's timeline, it's only been a day since we last met.

But I also feel like I haven't seen her in a long time.

"The same goes for someone named Dragon King... I was surprised that Ichinose knew God as well..."

Mizuno was listening with his eyes round to what I had experienced in Earth.

"Can't you believe it?

You know God, or if a normal person asks, 'What are you talking about? You'.

So even if Mizuno doesn't believe my story, I'm not shocked.

"Yes, no! I didn't think Mr. Ichinose would lie like that!

"Oh, my God."

Do you believe me?

I know that means you trust me... but I'm a little nervous about not being fooled by bad people in the future.

"I knew Ichinose-san was amazing! Because I know all those people!

"Ha... By the way, how much longer does Mizuno have to be in the hospital?

I tried to change the subject, and I asked Mizuno.

It was my fault she had to be hospitalized.

I want it to get better soon, but mental shock is worse in nature than physical injury in some cases.

I'm willing to go through here until she gets out of the hospital safely.

"Oh, don't worry if it's about that. The doctor said," You can leave the hospital tomorrow. "

I thought... but apparently it wasn't a big deal.

What the fuck.

You can leave the hospital when it's tomorrow, which is a shoulder watermark on the contrary.

But well, that's also the proof that she's fine, so let's be honest and happy.

"... I'm more worried about Ichinose than that"

"Huh? Me?

"Yes."

Shortly after I breathed ho knowing that Mizuno's discharge time was as early as I thought, I tilted my neck with a Kyotong look.

What am I worried about?

"From what I've just heard, Mr. Ichinose is going to Meermill Continent next time, right?

"Oh, yeah, but"

"... don't push me too hard, do you? Well... I don't like it when Ichinose-san is in danger."

Oh well.

Mizuno is showing me around.

What a Meermill continent, for her, is the perception of a place like a foreign country.

But I've already set foot on that continent several times.

That doesn't distract me, but it doesn't mean that's a dangerous expedition.

"Properly... please come back. I'd like to hear from Ichinose again."

"... yeah, okay. Next time I see you, I'll bring you something a little more interesting, so expect me."

"! Yes!

I gently stroked Mizuno's head sitting in the hospital room bed.

Then she turned her full grin to me and nodded vigorously.

If this looks like it, you'll be discharged as soon as the doctor sees you.

Really good.

"Oh, and... Mr. Ichinose"

"Hmm? What, Mizuno?

Mizuno stared up at me as I modged.

Her face is slightly dyed of vermilion.

"Wow, I'll always lend you my breasts, so don't hesitate to say it when it's hard!

…………

… is this a continuation of the story we had last time we met?

You know, lend me your breasts... I guess it means the way it is.

I was not very conscious when I cried in front of Mizuno, but I was held in Mizuno's chest.

Exactly, I won't expose myself to ugliness like I did then.

I'm not a child enough to comfort you in your elementary chest.

Nevertheless, I can also draw attention to the total denial of Mizuno's good intentions.

This place is... yes, as nuanced as it might be next, let's do it easy.

"Ki... when I get a chance..."

"Yes!"

Mizuno's expression was bright and dazzling to me with a subtly drawn grin with embarrassment.

Wow, good girl......

Having finished my conversation with Mizuno, I was sitting on one of my favorite benches in the school and meeting one of my classmates.

In Earth, he works under the character name Yumi, Orange String.

This guy and I have the same dorm room, so we can talk there, but I was in the mood to talk outside today, so I asked him to come.

"Well, the next time you go to Earth, you won't be seeing me again for a while."

"Don't be."

String Yi squeaks lonely and I hammer at it.

Some Earthlings (players) also had movement when the story of an expedition to the Meermill Continent was raised.

It has volunteered to accompany our group on an expedition.

Approximately 30 Earthlings (players) volunteered to join the expedition.

A group of high school students and a group of college students are the main members.

Among other things, it does not include members of the Guild [Meteor Party], to which freshmen such as String Yi and Ice Room belong.

Anything, because many sophomores and sophomores volunteered for expeditions this time, did they reject their first-year applications for expeditions?

I guess there are aspects to it that I and Mina's freshman members have been in the expedition since the beginning, so that kind of action has been taken.

There's an option to go with all the members who volunteer, but, well, it would be annoying to interrupt the Meamir continent in too many places.

It means measures taken by the Authority, which tried to limit the number of expeditions and yet to minimize grievances from as many quarters as possible.

By the way, the social group is apparently busier to proceed with the opening of the deepest underground labyrinth.

The reason seems to be that Magimon's God (well, it's about Cross) came out and decided that no further delay in the underground labyrinth attack would be tolerated.

I'm not familiar with this neighborhood because I heard it again from Kengo.

"I can't go, but I'm a little worried that Mai will go. Don't hesitate to scold him if his jacket is going to do something dangerous."

"Are you the guardian of the dress?"

But String Yi was your brother in real clothes, wasn't he?

Because they're twins, they don't really care about that, but one way or another, string righteousness has a more like a brother atmosphere.

Kind brother burning his hands at his naughty sister, like.

"... Yeah, I knew it was true, the atmosphere was nicer than before"

"What?"

Hey, why are you suddenly saying things I don't understand?

You know, being nice, or even if a guy says that to me, I have trouble reacting.

"To be exact, it feels like the old days are back."

"The old...?

"Yes, I am."

"Maybe..."

Well, there's nothing string righteousness can say or say it fits somewhat.

Until a little while ago, I was trying to keep people away from me.

Even my roommate, String Yi, had enough conversation with me a long time ago today.

"When we get back from Meermill Continent, we'll throw another party or something together"

"Oh, yeah"

I nodded back at the words of string righteousness.

The snort was not creepy and could be served naturally.

I wouldn't have done this before.

This is probably a good thing for me.

"While you're out, we'll protect where you're coming back."

"Nice to meet you, String Yi"

That's how we laughed and got up off the bench trying to get back to the dorm.

…………

- Well, I felt someone's gaze, so I looked back.

…………

…………

There was Shirazaki.

Shirazaki somehow held a plastic bag with a two-liter size pet bottle and looked at us jizzily.

He, why are you here?

Like me, I was in the staff room doing a procedure for an expedition, so I'm not surprised you're on school grounds.

... Oh well.

If you look closely, the plastic bag he's hanging in his hand right now is the one in the convenience store near here.

Simply, you were coming to the convenience store to buy it out.

".................. Humph!

"Huh!?

As I was calmly analyzing this situation on my own, Shirazaki suddenly bumped a pet bottle toward us.

Absolutely not!

Two-liter size is awesome!

Normally avoidable, but come on!

All of a sudden!

"Don't show it to me! Bye!!!

Ignoring the confused me and String Yi, Shirazaki ran away saying so.

So, what the hell is that guy? Huh!
