Different worlds of the last heaven and knights of the fist.
310. Unexpected Return
All over Japan, one of forty-seven provinces. A rural town in a certain province, along a certain mountain. Quiet night residential area, in a small park located in the corner of it.
"Belle, try to follow my cheek."
It was extremely moonlight, but Arichi Shield had a serious face on top of this, and asked Bergrette Fizz Gertirude to do so.
"What? What's wrong, all of a sudden..."
"Please. As you wish."
The expression demanding so was too stuffed with cuts,
"Er... bye"
Belgrette reluctantly stretches out its white, thin fingers and picks only a little flesh of flowing cheeks. If a twist could be added at all, the definite pain conveyed the boy's face.
It was a modest force addition and subtraction despite her thoughtful request, because of the deep mercy she had, or because she wondered about every odd request.
"Ko, are you glad this is it? It hurts, doesn't it? Are you okay?
"... oh. Thankful."
A cold night breeze blows those two hard. The smell of a near-field field tickled my nostrils, and my twisted cheeks hurt gin in the cold.
The view stretches out in front of you, no matter how many times you look back. Modern Japanese - badly familiar, but nostalgic, familiar parks and estates. It was dark and late to notice, but just beside it, there was a thin, dirty concrete wall. There's two of them. This was the back of the public toilet.
"Nevertheless, what the hell is this..., building, right? That......"
Girls from different worlds look over the streets of the night, even strangely on the other side of the fence.
………………
- I don't know what it is.
But it's not a dream. Neither is the hallucination of this college director. We are, indeed - in Japan, but also in the local city.
The drift shield finally bites that reality.
"... Belle child. Listen to me for a second."
The boy, slightly calm, began to never speak his mind to Belgrette.
"This is the world of Lugo......? Besides, near Lugo's house......? But no... what, what...?
If you thought about it in the common sense of the world called Grimcrows, it's an event that's not too thumpy. Bergrette, who had shown a relatively often understanding even on such topics, but just this time he just couldn't seem to hide his suspicions.
"The world of Lugo was... deep underground, you mean?
Only the stars look up at the night sky instantly as the girl knight blacks and whites her eyes.
Is it a crescent moon tonight, Ish Mani - too, no moon appearance. If even 'little moon' floated there, she would have been easily surprised, too.
"We... fell all the way up there... wah, right?
"No, maybe... that's not what I'm talking about"
A glorious, harsh otherworldly enchantment that magically flies with the sword, called Grimcrows. The original Bobo, a suspicious ancient castle nestled in its deepest depths, is considered a particularly dangerous anchorage. A huge green awesome airflow swirling hole I discovered in the basement of such a place. I was swallowed up there, and when I realized I was here - how.
Is it also impossible for Belgrette to get it wrong?
"It's me... I told you before that I was suddenly in Grim Crows when I realized it, right? So..."
"... and... the same thing happened...? Now from our world, 'suddenly' to the world of Lugo......?
"That's right, Belle, it's good to guess and helpful. Actually, I don't know, but this is already..."
That's all I can think of.
"And in this case, that dubious green weird light..."
At the moment I'm about to say it, I get a nostalgic bass that I'm familiar with in my driftshield ear. gradually approaching as he roared. It was
"Belko, get down."
"Wow."
As she lays her hands on the head of the girl knight, she also succumbs to the exodus herself.
Right near the implant where the two lurked. Passing the road, which stretches across the fence, was one light truck that sounded like an ancient engine. A red tail lamp floating in the dark night drifts away.
"What, that......!?
"It's called an automobile. I can run without a horse, I wonder if I can see a carriage..."
……
It wouldn't even be understandable to be told that. The girl knight stares beyond the darkness with an incredible look at the car disappearing.
There's not much to suspect about her confusion either, but drift protection doesn't keep her head up with drift protection.
(... just calm down first...! I... sure, I'm back. Plus, with Bell Child. What are we gonna do from here? What do I do...? ……
Look down at your outfit.
Boys and girls dressed unlikely in modern Japan, nestled in a park at night. There should be no suspicion. Now that subcultures like games and cartoons are gaining so much recognition, possibly deceiving because of the cosplay, it's still too suspicious if you've thought about time and place. You can't complain about being reported. Whatever it is, right now, I just want to avoid someone finding me.
"... in the meantime, we should move from here first"
"Duh, what do you do?
Questioned by an anxious girl knight, the drift patrols often. but there is only one place to go and so on from the beginning.
"... let's go. In my house."
If you believe the park clock, the time just went around 9: 30 at night.
This residential neighborhood, which has nothing to do with the hustle and bustle of the city, if this is the time of year, is equal to none of the people, etc. After a long promenade, the two make sure there's no one around them to make sure they're soaking and parking.
…………
Looking back at the part of the entrance and exit that surrounded the park, the plate with "Sasakuru" Park caught my eye.
Again, definitely. It was a park in the estate where Lifeguard lived.
"Nevertheless, so was the road in the park...... here, it's flatter than that"
You'll be on the asphalt road, surprised as Belgrette makes sure you're at your feet.
"Ha. It's not like the streets over there or the cobblestones at all. But this is what Belko's mansion pavement looked like, right?
"But so much..., yeah, wow, slippery"
While I smile at such a girl from other worlds, I'll also try what I came up with here. That is,
"What's wrong, Lugo?"
Belgrette looks surprised when she sees the driftshield sticking out her fist two or three times as she steps gently.
"... no"
I mean, how much difference does physical performance make between this world and that other world?
I feel nostalgic weight. At least, you shouldn't be able to move just like Grimcrows. Whether you want to tail your opponent with a single blow with a large physical difference, pack your moments in an instant, or run at the same speed as a horse. I have a feeling my body understands that I can't do it without trying.
(This is normal... what the heck. Eh?)
I am concerned when it comes to the gravitational difference between the worlds on both sides, but it is still hard to believe that that is responsible for that unusual physical performance.
(That means something unique to Grim Crows after all...)
unique to the other world. The first thing I can think of is still:
(Soul Heart Power "Prarna" …?)
God's grace. Fushigi chicara. Magical abilities, essential in using the Divine Chant "Oracle". Until just now, the unknown energy we were trying to dig up.
With this in mind, I saw a car running through the road on the other side. Anyway, let's hurry now, and I urge Belgrette, and the two of us walk out.
Covering your body with a cape doesn't seem like a fantasy outfit to deceive you, but that doubles your suspicion. No one will ever find me. I've never been over it.
…………
Residential area on a secluded and quiet night. Street lights dotted with bumps and lights that leak from the houses. A scene too far from the dangerous forests of the other worlds where I was just a little while ago......
Fortunately, I couldn't feel any signs of people outside.
With drift protection missing six months ago, a circular may be out to refrain from going out at night. The event of one high school student's neglect disappearing should have been a big enough incident if we tried to make it this little country town.
……
Liquid protection walks, fingering the block wall just beside him. A rough stone feel. When I was a kid, I used to crash into this wall with my bike out of balance. I was also complacent that I was learning karate, and I endured pain without crying, and I put up with losing weight diligently.
This is Takahashi's house.
(excuse me) a two-story house surrounded by such walls with no change of philosophy.
I was in elementary school. Sometimes the soccer ball that kicked me in the park flew more than I thought, hit the windowsill and got pissed off.
The lights are on now, and there is a faint leak in the audio from inside that seems to belong to the TV.
"Wah..."
Belgrette leaks an exclamation as she tries to pass in front of such a house. The beautiful eyes of its lightly iced "Ice Blue" stared seriously at the Takahashi family's single-family home.
"... this is, like, a house, right? I don't know... It's strange..."
"Ha, I guess so"
In her eyes, she will see a sawdust unusual appearance.
Liquid protection was regarded as' medieval 'when it saw the streets of Grimcrows' - Raindeer, but Belgrette does not know the existence of any other world. Wouldn't it look like an extremely unbelievable landscape, not to mention something else?
"But... could it be a little closer to the refeit building? The shape of the roof..."
"Oh, maybe there is"
Given that country's resemblance to the old Japan, you wouldn't even be able to think of it that way. There are few common denominators, such as sloppy tile roofs.
……
Carefully walk the night lane while paying attention to your surroundings. Fortunately, there are not many houses where the sound of television, the voice of family reunion, is leaking, although there is nothing wrong with someone.
... Again, it's not a dream or a hallucination. Definitely, I'm back......
Eventually, if we keep this up, we can get to home in just a few moments - to the point where
"Lugo, what's wrong? Earlier, I was so choked up..."
"... I don't want to be seen."
"... why? You haven't been back home in a long time, have you? Let the people of the city know you're back safely..."
"... because all of a sudden he was gone and he stayed put. It's troublesome to make a scene... and now you're calming down."
This outfit after a long time of missing. And the exotic rounded girl we're with. It would definitely be a pain in the ass if people saw it.
(... ma, the problem is more than that...)
Abandon thoughts ahead for a moment and proceed silently. Lucky for the chills and the countryside, I kept walking down the path I saw without running into people or cars, and eventually...
………………
I made it to the front of a wooden house that was still about to crumble.
"This is... Lugo's...?
"Oh...... As long as it's lame and embarrassing..."
- I haven't been back in six months. I was born and raised, I've spent fifteen years, in this house.
That night. That night out of here and lost in unexpected otherness seems like a terrible, distant old event.
I thought I would never come back like this again...
Looking at home, caught in unspeakable emotion, Belgrette asks, slightly lurking her voice.
"Lugo... lived with your father, didn't he? Looks like the lights aren't on... but I think we're off."
"No..."
And here, fortunately - one concern disappeared.
Belgrette's right, there's no light on the house. The time is still after 9: 30 at night. His father didn't get on the floor early, he's not home. It's not uncommon for a drifting father not to come home for about a month or two for work. I guess he's traveling somewhere again now.
If I had a father here, I would have bothered my head about what he had explained. Belgrette will also be briefed to this effect and will proceed to the inside of the fence.
"... let's go in"
The voice was so nervous that the drift guard himself unexpectedly thought.
