I feel a dazzling sunshine over my eyelids and my consciousness awakens.
When I woke up, it was my room I was used to seeing, and that one yesterday was all a dream.
... and so on. The first thing that caught my eye was the look of Minette pillowing her own arm opposite the table and resting easily. Lifeguard seemed to have fallen asleep at some point too.
The light of the day that plugs into the room is that of the sun, which is familiar to the driftshield. Unlike the moon, its size is not unusual either. Beautiful day indeed. Now, what the hell is the name of God who looked like this sun?
As I calm down, I feel the shield stings. Some would have trained to keep their normal minds empty-handed. But you may be right that you are too far from reality and your mental state has circled from surprise and returned to normal.
"... ah. Good morning…"
Minnette greets her shield as she fills her eyes.
Hmm. "Good morning" sounds good in this world too. And then he sees his sleeping face and makes him look a little shy, just like the woman on Earth... in the world where there was drift protection.
"But Inverenus will be at such a high altitude already."
Minette looks up out the window and says with the same brightness as the weather. Inverenus...... Seems to be about the sun, to see from how she is. So won't you say 'light of day' or something?
It's a beautiful day.
"Yes!"
This seems to make sense. I'd like to try a lot of word games, but I'm afraid I can't get through unexpected words. They could suspect me weirdly again.
"What are you going to do now? I have a little business stopping by the city of Brizia...... there, I also know someone who might be able to help Mr. Lugo. He's an amazing chanter, Maggie. Why don't you come with me?
"Hmm. Right..."
Amnesia is a bright red lie, but not addressed to go in this world in the first place. Besides, if you meet Mage, the chanter, you may have some clue as to how to get back to Japan. I didn't even seem to think about it.
"Okay. I'll go with you."
After it got bright, I went outside and finally recognized clearly that it was a completely different place from Japan.
Too blue sky to fall out of. Unfamiliar grasshoppers. The shape of a tree that forms a distant visible forest. They were all unseen in Japan. Foreign countries may also see this view. But last night's giant moon or monster would be unlikely on Earth.
"Well, let's go"
"Hey there. Is it safe during the day? You don't answer like yesterday's Cobnantka?
"Er... because Cobria is nocturnal. Even at night, walking down the street is basically safe. Because the streets have the Oracle of the exorcism."
"Hmm? Then why were you in the meadows last night?
"Huh? No, I saw Mr. Lugo bluffing in the meadows at night, so I thought it was dangerous..."
So have you come into the meadows without regard for your own perils?
The drift protection was lightly shocked by the thought I never thought it would.
"... well. Right... if you think about it, it's like it's my fault... no, I'm sorry"
"Huh? No! I got you protected! That was cool!... Ah."
"... oh well"
"Yes, sir"
You two, face in the direction of the day after tomorrow.
"Okay. Time to go."
I couldn't stand the oddly ticklish feeling, and the drift protection walked out.
"Oh, that. Do you know the way?
…………
He is still an adolescent boy.
About five minutes passed since I started walking.
Again, discomfort.
That's what I was feeling last night. Fist punch from an explosive step, unleashed on Cobria. It's like walking and feeling, floating. I was wondering if my body was floating in an unusual situation.
Speaking of which, Minnett.
"Yes. What is it?
"How many kilos do you weigh?
"Become, I don't know if that's what you ask a woman!
My liking decreased. He is still an adolescent boy.
"Oh, yes, no. That's not what I'm going to do.... Hmm, can't you weigh it one way or the other? Weight"
"... you want to know so much about my weight?
Likeability, admirable descent.
"No, I'm not. I'm not. It's my weight I want to weigh."
"Ha... about my weight, I think I'll be in the city..."
It was Minette pointing a suspicious gaze. Naturally.
"Oh, I see it. City of Brizia"
"Ooh."
First under the hill, I saw a giant wall of stone. About five meters tall. Its walls surround medieval streets that have only been seen in textbooks and films. Cobblestone roads, giant windmills. People dressed just like Minette. What you see over there is a Gothic architectural building. - Was it? Exodus regretted that he should have taken the class a little more seriously.
I can see it, but it's going to be a while before we get there. I think there's more to the vast plains.
"... that's a big wall. Is that to protect yourself from the Grievance Devil, after all?
"Right. Not only are there grudges demons, but there are bandits. To enter the city, there is nothing but passing through the gates to the north and south. Suspicious people can be stopped by soldiers."
Is there even a bandit? Reflux is surprised at what Minnett said.
But if you think about it, it might be natural. It's a civilizational level with no concept of the sun or the moon. It is difficult to believe that the art of protecting oneself, "Suzu" and the law are in place. Naturally, then, many people will work evil. It's about knowing how safe a modern country called Japan is.
I walked about five minutes after I started to see the city and finally got to the front of the gate.
At the entrance stands a strong soldier dressed in silver armor. Long spears I could carry would never be a decoration. It's really just like a movie or something. The soldier looked suspiciously at the exodus, but was able to pass through the gate without being blamed.
"Yes, we're here."
"... oh"
Unexpectedly, the exclamation was leaking.
Beautiful city colored with stones and bricks. There were also many people on the street, people dressed similar to Minette and large carriages crossing paths. A middle-aged woman selling fruit in an outdoor shop. Running around kids. An old man standing talkin 'on the sidewalk. Overall, as for women anyway, men seem to have a lot of taller people. Basically everyone who goes on the road is taller than a drift shelter.
...... why not. Compared to the people's waves I watched sitting on the bench in the mall, they all felt alive.
"That's it. I haven't had breakfast, and would you like some apples?
Without waiting for Lifeguard's reply, Minette rushes over to the outdoor store.
"Auntie, two apples please!
"Yes! Wait a minute!
Middle-aged women still speak Japanese as a matter of course.
"What is it, lady? Is it your boyfriend? I don't think so! Don't let it get cold! Service!
"Oh, no."
Before Minette could finish, she was forcibly given a wooden cup with a drink. The cups, like those made of rough, shredded trees, are very cold, even though they contain no ice. The contents look transparent, but what is it?
"Already...... Let's go, Mr. Lugo."
I'll try it while walking behind Minette. It was apple juice.
"Cold this. There's no ice in it."
"I guess the aunt at the dewstore was chilling in the ice god chant Oracle. Because many people use their skill in commerce.... Wow, I'm good at incineration and stuff too! Look at this!
"Ooh. Right."
Looking over the streets, following the girl. I thought it was neat, but I don't have a pole. Sewage flows beside the sidewalk.
Lifeguard was remembering "Where High Heels Were Born" he heard in a class on world history.
In an era when decent toilet facilities were not in place, high heels with little footwear were devised so that dirt in trouble at the dojo could be dumped on the street and not trampled on as much as possible...... anecdote.
Fortunately, I'm relieved that this world doesn't seem to have to worry about that. I truly think so as a boy who was stepping on a dog hun before coming to this world last night.
"Here we are -. Right here."
It was a stoneless, boneless building. At the entrance stands a soldier of such a strong face as he hatched for this building.
"... What is this place?
"It's a packing place for soldiers."
What would this be worth when it comes to modern Japan? Yeah. Police.
"Mi, Minette is trying to turn me over as a suspicious person..."
"Shit, no! They're supposed to be here today. I can rely so much on that!
Open the door and follow Minette as she enters "Hello -".
It was a rugged room. A sword decorated on a wall called a wall, a number of turrets placed in the corners of the room. Huge bookshelves in the center of the room.
A girl in front of that big shelf turned to Minette.
"Yes. What can I do for you -"
Clearly beautiful voice.
For a moment, the fluid shield almost forgot to breathe.
Originally, he would have been overwhelmed by the number of swords and axes decorated on the walls.
But. Now I'm just blinded by the girl.
There is something called the 'golden ratio'. The ratio that humans find most beautiful.
With that golden ratio, wouldn't this happen if we created something elaborately called a person - such a girl, there she was?
An overly neat face, like an elaborate doll, that I just think the God of Art did himself. Are the brows and eyes that seem a little intense an accent added by God? Long, glossy hair to the waist with a dark blue colour. Does it go with that, a luxurious one-piece dress with a blue tone? I can see at a glance that it's expensive for drift protection without the knowledge of this world. The body that the costume wrapped was so thin and white that it was likely to break if touched, but the chest painted a large curve of grace and charm.
Superb pale gems, polished out as if to the extreme. A girl with such ultimate beauty was there.
"Ah, Minette. How have you been?
"Yes! I was fine, Master Belgrette!
"Hehe. I'm really not well. What happened to you?
The blue and beautiful girl, called Belgrette, smiles in a tone as casual as her thoughts. At the same time, turn your gaze to the shield. For the first time here, the two eyes met.
- Moment. Something in the stream protection, I felt shaken.
――――
Belgrette also looks surprised for some reason.
…… What's wrong, both of you?
In the voice of Minette, the drift returned to me.
"Uh, uh, I..."
Out of the agitation, the shield was silenced. I relaxed. I blew it forward.
And the hand of the drift guard was eagling Belgrette's chest.
………………
……………………
………………………………
All silenced.
The next moment. What echoed was not the princess scream of Belgrette, who would have been in a gruesome capacity at last - it was not.
Goh, and a blow from the horizontal giraffe.
"Bye!
Straight from the side to the belly, the drift shield blew away. Step on them and manage to hold out.
If you look up in a hurry...
"Anything left to say? Shiro."
Beautiful in this situation.
Belgrette wrapped up in a raging, crazy stream of water. A ruthless gaze emanating from the eyes of its lightly iced "Ice Blue" was sharply shooting through the stream protection.
I also forgot that I was being targeted, and I saw drift protection. Water is swirling and flowing through the air so as to protect Belgrette. I knew right away. This is the divine chant, Oracle.
"Beh, beh, beh, beh, bellette!
Minette rushes into between them.
"Step aside, Minnett"
"It's not! Probably! Apologize, Mr. Ririllugo! Apologize as much as you can! Apologize at full speed! Apologize to the god of creation, Jed Meteeu!
"... Huh"
The shield turns to Belgrette.
Then he raised his face and looked forthrightly at Belgrette's face.
"I'm sorry"
I sat down.
"Ah, there's a current shield..."
"This is Bellette Fizz Gertillude."
It won't be my fault my voice is cold.
"... so. Amnesia?"
Belgrette turns her gaze toward drifting protection, such as the bottom of her heart nagging. Beautiful enough that even those jitsy eyes seem to sigh. Come on, it's a start from zero liking.
By the way, Minette's "Someone who might be able to help" was this Belgrette. I can't believe I did this to you.
"Yes. I have amnesia, princess. Sorry I was born."
It was a drift protection that went through damned politeness and became humble.
"... no, because I'm not a princess. The princess of this country is Liliane. Sir.... Regardless of what happened earlier, let me thank you for helping Minette out of Cobria. Thanks."
"No, I don't!
Minette was frightened.
"So is it okay that Minette was flirting? Damn, you have too many gaps"
"Ugh. Uh, that's"
"No, it's not, Princess. Mindful of my amnesiac fucking yarrow, Minette doesn't care about the danger. I'm sorry I was born."
"No, that's why you're not a princess..., that's enough, I'm sorry..."
"Excuse me. Excuse me."
"Uh, Mr. Lugo is not bad..."
"Sorry."
"Huh! That's enough apologies!
Belgrette lifts up her voice.
"I'm gonna flush this thing down into the water! Yes, let's move on!
It was full of partitions like the chairman of the committee. Even now, I have the impression that it's against the noble look and just the tone. And the boobs are pretty big.
"... anything?
"Nothing, Princess! Sir!"
It was the most salutary.
"So if you're not a princess..."
"Uh, is that Master Belgrette? If you're not a princess, what are you..."
"Bell's fine. Because that's what they all call it. Minette won't call me, okay?
"No! Such awe..."
"To see the awe of Minette, I see you as a great person, Master Bell"
"I can't grasp your personality... well fine. I am the" Royal Guard "… of, Apprentice. I'm a sister-in-law and an apprentice with a princess, but now it's my sister's turn to take charge, and I'm next to the princess, so I work in this jar between my studies."
"Even when it comes to apprenticeships, it's not far from the day when Master Bellette and Mr. Claria are the official Royal Guards! The beauty of the three of you, the spectacle? I said no more!
If Minette did it for some reason, she would have been proud.
"So, Lugo??"
"You can protect yourself."
"Okay, Lugo. So, you were wondering about Cobria. Is it true you repelled him with your bare hands?
"Well, yeah."
"... Speaking of which, you didn't even fall after my blow. Like, I almost hit him for real."
"No, it worked. I thought you were a weak princess."
"It worked, I'm not sure I can get it done..."
"Yes! Bellette is a powerful water chanter, Maggie! Among the colleges...... super...... er, because it's amazing!
If Minette did it again, I would have been proud. And the vocabulary's surprisingly poor, this kid.
"... right. Inspect it at the college and if you know the attributes and levels of your secret divine chant, Oracle, it could be a clue to regaining your memory. I think he's at least officially certified as a chanter, Maggie, based on the story that he blew up Cobria lightly."
Of course, Lifeguard can't use the Divine Chant "Oracle" or anything else, and it's not the Chant Mage.
"Ooh. Okay, Mr. Lugo, we can go to college."
Minette turns an enviable eye.
"College, what..."
The word had appeared in several conversations before.
"Midir College. The only college in the realm of the Reindeer kingdom that specializes in the art of divine chanting, Oracle. I'm a student, too."
Belgrette explained as he put on his arms. The chest is highlighted.
To be clear, it would just be useless to go. But there was no reason to say, "I know it's no use going there," or anything like that, than before the building of amnesia.
And here I am: "Actually, I'm from a different world, don't you know how to get back? I honestly asked," I don't even think I'll get the answers I expect.
Above all, now, where there is shelter is the barracks. You should be careful what you say. I have a priori who rubbed my already busty tits.
"Just tomorrow, because I was planning on going back to college. Why don't you go?
"... oh yeah. That's fine."
"Decisions, right! I have to go now..."
Minette leaked a voice that seemed unfortunate.
"Good job. We're going to be on the farm again, right? Be careful. Don't let Cobria attack you again."
"Ha, yes. I'll be careful!
I bow my head like a child pissed off by my mother, and Minette heads to the exit.
"Goodbye, Mr. Lugo. I'll see you again!
"Ooh..."
"See you too, Bellette!
"Yeah. Good luck."
That's how it happened. Minette left in a flurry.
…………
"Oh? Do you miss Minette?
"Yes, no. No, you still didn't know exactly what Minette was doing..."
"That kid wanted to be a chanter, Maggie, but he couldn't get into college because he wasn't fit. He didn't seem willing to go to normal school, and he lives helping farms around here. I've been to a village a little far away, and I've always been busy."
"Really..."
"He's kind of a less attentive kid. Heard you got attacked by Cobria, again! I thought so. This is the second time. Totally no more."
Belgrette laughing bitterly. But tenderness floats in his eyes.
"If it's true, it's not a welcome story to say that I spent last night under the same roof as you I just met... No, I'm not saying anything bad about you."
"No, yeah.... Well, you do."
I came to a world like this and admired the confusion. There was no such insipidity or dust in the shelter, but I did spend the night with a stranger, which may be a little less attentive story.
As for the boy who helped me, it's complicated.
"Then we should head to the college first thing tomorrow morning. Can you stay at the inn today?... Oh, you don't even have the money. Yes."
Belgrette took his wallet out of the pocket of the dress and handed him a few coins for drift protection. Naturally, it was a currency I had never even seen.
"Yes, no. That's exactly what I get paid for..."
"When we're in trouble, we say to each other for a long time. Just take it. Because when I get my memory back, I'll have it back. Is that okay?
"... ok. Thank you very much."
"Yeah. Good."
Belgrette nodded satisfactorily, smiling like a flower.
