Different worlds of the last heaven and knights of the fist.
316. Afternoon Daily
Time goes around noon, the place is at the kitchen table.
"Ip, ramen?
"Hmm. I would like you to try it once."
Belgrette leaned her neck wonderfully as she took a serious look at the 'Ultimate Cup Soy Sauce Mega Platter' placed in front of her.
"Is this...? Are you a lid...?
On top of the cup, a classic or upside down plate is placed. If you try it on her, you must not understand why you're doing this.
"Oh. Just keep it that way, that's three minutes. Wait till I say no."
Three minutes of waiting elapsed while I was pouring drinks and cleaning up the ingredients I had bought.
"All right, it's about time you ate. I'll open it."
Remove the plate and slowly peel off the upper lid, and the enclosed hot air stood up in one piece.
"Wah...!
Seeing what appeared under the white fishes, Belgrette opens her eyes. It's not like a thin, cosy, shrunken noodle - etc. soaked in a sea of brown soup with fat on it, it's just instant cup noodles.
But in her eyes, she must have seen it as strange.
"What is this... soup pasta...?
"Well, over there, that's probably the closest thing. Actually, it's a whole different mon. Look, try it while it's hot."
"Ugh, yeah. Then..."
Girl knights who offered their pre-meal prayers (not in this world) to God grip silver forks all the way in as they were prepared. Carefully wrap the noodles around the tip of the dish and carry them to the dreaded mouth...
"What do you say?
"……, an unusual taste……. But the flavor is thick, and... yeah, it's kind of... it's going to make you feel..."
While I couldn't hide the confusion, it seemed like a good feeling. Eating a little bit, yeah, I'm snorting. What a colorful look to rinse the dough while holding on to your long hair.
"Okay. We're going to be more extravagant at night. I'll make a bowl of beef."
"Gyu-dong?
"Well, I mean fun after seeing it"
"Hmm... Lugo is a good cook. Maybe a little surprised."
"It's no big deal. I just add hot water to this cup of noodles. I've often been alone at home for a long time, so I just can make it natural. Hey, what about that Belle kid? Over there, there's a cafeteria in the college and in the castle, and the mansion's got a maid, and you don't seem to have to make your own mesh or anything. I was awesome when you peeled the apple before."
"Yeah...... dude, I've learned the whole thing...... Anyway, I haven't had a chance to cook in earnest, so I'm refreshed now."
"Is that so after all? This is the time, and you want to try cooking?
"Eh."
I wonder when it's been the first time I've ever colluded with someone like this at home. A calm afternoon passes as we have conversations without other love.
"..., funoooooooo..."
If the drift protection leaned against the desk chair stretched, the back and shoulders sounded crisp and comfortable.
Check the clock, it's about to be six o'clock in the evening. Already the curtains in the room are closed and the fluorescent lights on.
In a drifting bed occupying a third of the small room, Belgrette in jersey rested easily.
While feeling smiling, the drift shield returns her gaze to the display in front of her.
(... the harvest-like harvest, hey...)
There can't be.
A completely different world from Earth Here, information about Grimcrows, etc. I couldn't even find anything in common about the three of us who made that transition to the world: Sea Current Protection, Iwawave Fai, and Sakuragiri Yukizaki.
(Sakuragiri. Oh, I still care about 'this'...)
That was this morning. The Washlet disturbance in Belgrette was causing a lot of trouble.
Open a search site and enter her full name. but it doesn't come out.
(The letters shouldn't be wrong...)
But no matter how many times I looked it up, no matter what site I went around, a high school girl named Sakurai Yukizaki - her missing case never hit me.
In the first place, there will be a significant number of missing persons in Japan alone. Perhaps the information on each and every one of them won't be a definite hit, or maybe it's a bad way to look.
If you dare to consider the possibility of not
(Sakuragiri actually named you a fake name? And then... your parents haven't issued a search request for Sakuragiri, or something?
They're both painful, and I immediately deny it.
The former, in the first place, has no reason for her to falsify her name in that other world. The latter should be discovered not far from the public, even if the parents tried to hide it and the students stopped coming to school. Besides, I still don't think my parents are looking for my neglected daughter.
"Anyway, I'm already here... you must be worried about your father and mother."
Such words from Sakuragiri, who was lonely, still remain on my chest. Even as a shield, I was angry at the phenomenon of transfer to another world.
During my stay at the refe, I went to her room many times to pack and talk about various things, but I hear the family relationship was fine without any problems.
"Hmmm......"
I also think I heard the name of the school I went to for once, but I just don't remember.
(... right, for example...)
Transition to the fantasy world, experiencing a rare and extraordinary phenomenon, etc., drift protection has become much more flexible in its ideas.
So I'll also consider the theory that 'humans who cross to Grimcrows lose their presence on Earth'. It has disappeared from the memories and records of this modern Japanese people.
(... or whatever you think...)
... but that's unlikely at a time when Professor Iwawavehui's information comes out worn out.
(... then...!
I squeezed my courage and finally typed 'Arishi Current Protection' as the momentum remained.
"Roar."
"~ Prefectural high school boy and Arishi Ryoshio in the early summer of this year," the news caught my eye, rushing to hit the browser back in a row.
"Safe, Safe.........,"
I don't know (or want to know) what treatment, but at least the case of drift protection is recognised to the extent that it exits if searched - it will be. I didn't even look at it in detail, but Sen., such as someone else with the same last name, would be extremely thin due to the rarity of the name.
My wife came to the front door this morning and gave me my name.
Both Arishi Shield and Iwawave Fai are certainly recognized as people who have gone missing.
(So, why isn't Sakuragiri's information coming out? Unlike me and the Doctor, how come it's just Sakuragiri..., other possible reasons... hmm? That, no -)
It is derailed from the main muscle, but there was something to think of.
That was after visiting the refeit and introducing herself to each other. It was when we talked about how we got lost in Grimcrows.
"Just before I walked home and got lost in this world... I wondered what I would say when I somehow had eyes in the empty space beside me... glowing cotton wool, I thought I wanted to see it"
The mysterious luminescent that he hadn't seen Liu Shi or the Doctor, and only Sakuragiri witnessed it. That, he said, seemed to glow with tampon cotton wool, to paraphrase.
"Ah!"
Unexpectedly, the driftshield was speaking up.
"Cotton wool of luminous tampons".
I remember seeing something that fits that trait recently.
(Original Bobo's......!
That's right.
Just before we discovered that deeply interwoven mountainous area of the other world, the abandoned castle that was at its depths. A mysterious glowing sphere in which existence was whispered among the soldiers from a few days ago and was finally to be seen by all together.
Flying around as if to lead the drifting guards to the castle, and underneath the ruins - even in that space where the green runoff swirled, a mysterious group of lights.
(The light Sakuragiri saw just before the trip and the light we saw over there... it's the same thing...?
A floating mysterious light sphere. Leap to different worlds.
Wasn't that light present on the spot, just missed it when the driftshield or the Doctor strayed into Grimcrows? And that has to do with travel between worlds -?
The matter of Sakuragiri led to the emergence of unexpected theories in unexpected ways.
"Mmm..."
So from behind, I hear a faint, creepy exhale. I seem to have woken you up with an aggressive voice.
"Ooh, good morning. Belle child."
Looking back at the chair, a green jersey girl knight lying on a bed of shelter nearly got up muckled. Rubbing his eyes with a slow trick also gives him a quick, hazy, bad-looking look.
"Oh, wow, me, I fell asleep in Lugo's bed...? Oh, sorry."
I rushed to correct my residence, but it was rare for her and her beautiful blue hair had only honeyed a little.
"Ha. I don't care."
It was warm cheerful when I did it during the day. Yeah, I guess I haven't even lost the fatigue of my assignment yet. Slightly longer to call it napping, and I must have been asleep for the last two hours.
... It's fine to spend a whole lot of time, but all this time makes my body dull. As for the Arai family, it's still a little early for dinner.
The missing treating boy, who judged it 'okay' because of his daytime feel, suggests this.
"That's right, Belle. Before dinner, why don't we go for a little walk?
In this season of withholding winter nearby, only after six o'clock in the evening, the area was surrounded by complete darkness. A quiet evening in the countryside has just begun, not long after the rush home from the office has subsided?
If it's this dimness, it's hard to recognize each other's faces. It would also be unlikely that someone would notice. I can't completely dispel the risks people see, but even if I keep pulling to hide, I feel like I'm doomed.
I'm sick and tired of lurking like a sinner even though there's nothing nasty about it. As a result, it has also led to the confinement of Belgrette. She also had a desire to have a more relaxed look at the outside world.
Stream protection is a lightweight hoodie worn on top of proper everyday wear. Belgrette walking next door is still in jersey, but just as the sun has fallen and her skin is getting cold, she is wearing a piece of drifting cardigan. If you go to the mall, there shouldn't be anything evil noticeable because you're a lady in the fantasy world, as students returning to the club can wander around dressed in the same way.
(Well, it may seem uncomfortable that a super beautiful girl who is not a Japanese student is wearing a jersey...)
As an individual in exile, it depends on what I think is an 'ant' because it suits me when I do it.
Now that's such a bellgrette, I was looking around in some sort of softness. The reason for this is not just because we're walking through unfamiliar residential neighborhoods -.
"What the hell, Bell boy, are you still restless?
"Yeah..."
"Ha... well, I'm sorry, but bear with me. In this country, it's kind of a mess. Carrying a sword."
Yes, it is. Folding trying to go out, she tried to take a long sword as a matter of course.
but this is modern Japan. It is a safe country where if you do poorly, you will even be blamed for possession of a cutter knife. I no longer have to think about what would happen if I walked up with a real long sword.
"In general, there is no occasion when you will need a sword. There's no such thing as a grudge demon or wild theft."
"Ugh, yeah......"
Nevertheless, I can also understand the mood of a girl knight.
I don't know right or left, a world full of things I've never seen. In that context, now the Divine Chant Oracle is not activated satisfactorily either. In addition, if you can't even have something to gain, you won't be able to feel anxious about.
"It's okay. I don't need to carry a weapon or anything at all... it's safe enough for Belko to clap it out, this country. Maybe... it's the other feeling, it's a little unthinkable."
To put it somewhere self-derisive, I guess I wasn't convinced, but she nodded small, too.
Belgrette is a respectful and humble believer in the service of the gods of the other worlds, but he is also a person who can follow the township when he enters it.
Many of the inhabitants of Grimcrows have a strong inclination to try to take lightly anything else as' God of their faith is the supreme '.
Belgrette was said to be one of the rare ones who could have a flexible perspective without being caught up in such exclusive thinking. Because of its accommodating sensibilities, I guess I was able to get so close to the values as if they were different drift shields.
(And well, if you're a Bell child...)
She must learn about the circumstances and common sense of this modern world at an astonishing rate of speed.
(Hmmm. Is that okay or bad too...)
Somehow I don't want the ladies of the noble fantasy world to be all over this secular, I think. It was an exodus.
I often go to a quiet evening estate thinking about it, and the two arrived at the place.
"... Lugo?
Surprise the boy who stopped on a T-shaped road with nothing, or a girl knight calls to peep.
"... here it is"
On the other hand, a surprisingly heavy voice had leaked from the mouth of the drift guard himself.
"That night, on my way home from shopping... I was walking around here and I was lost in Grimcrows at some point"
That's what I hear, and Belgrette quickly flies her gaze around with only her breath.
But nothing.
Lifeguarding herself, I feel it again when I visit this place again.
The pavement is not even wide enough for rhetoric. The houses lined up and the block walls surrounding them. Pompous and dotted street lights.
Quiet rural residential neighborhood, the corner of it. A landscape with nothing else.
Without that trick that's going to jump into the other world, it's like Sakuragiri said - there's not going to be a light sphere drifting around like you saw in the original Bo.
"Sounds... suspicious, I don't know..."
Perhaps' place 'has nothing to do with it. Iwawave Fai said he was in that world when he left the lab and noticed. Sakuragiri Sukizaki said he had moved all over the city of Lefe at some point on his way home from school.
It doesn't matter where it is, but something else invited those who were there at that time to go to Grimcrows - isn't it?
Assuming that "something" was that strange light sphere, I don't know who it is. Street lights installed on poles and thin lights that zero from the surrounding houses. The light source is nothing else. If you had that light emitter drifting like you saw in the original Bo, you would have noticed right away.
(Sakuragiri is the only one who sees weird spheres of light in this world. So, Sakuragiri is also the only one who doesn't show up in the search? What does that have to do with anything? You think too much?... I don't know...)
Either way, there seemed to be no more information available here.
"Hmm."
Liquid protection scratches his head and his face turns to Belgrette, who is watching the area carefully.
"Belle, have you noticed anything?
"Hmmm... sorry, but nothing..."
"Oh, yeah."
I wasn't expecting anything until... if I actually came here, but if I had to find out there was nothing, I still felt less discouraged.
"I can't help it here. Do you really want to go, Belle child..., Belle child?
I've never noticed, a girl knight who said,
…………
Ahead of the T-shaped road. He is sitting still staring in one direction, not slightly moving.
"... hey, Mr. Bell. What's wrong with you?
"Oh, yeah"
So Belgrette finally reacted.
"... your way... what's wrong?
"Oh, yeah......"
T-shaped road without any philosophy. The landscape that she is staring at also continues to be irreplaceable. Thinly stretched asphalt roads, lined houses, and lonely street lights.
A landscape of idle estates like never before, where no passers-by will come.
- Just. Ahead. But not even a hundred meters, at the end of that bend.
……
For drift protection, the path we have been used to seeing since childhood. The path of diminishing opportunities to attend as you progress to middle school, high school.
Ahead,
"What lies ahead of this road?
――――――――
An unexpected word. Asked such a thing by a girl knight from different worlds, Arichi Shield stiffened his body with both agitation and dew.
"... uh, no... what's going on, Belle? Why, that..."
"Oh, yeah. Just... just wondering. It doesn't make any deep sense...,... what's wrong, Lugo?
The boy's obvious wolf is not like a sharp girl knight overlooks either.
"No, nothing... thank you... I won't. That road is the same residential area as before. Nothing. Look, let's get out of here, Bell boy. If you go this way, not that way, you'll go out to people who have shops and stuff."
"..., yeah"
Turn your foot in the opposite direction of the path where Belgrette was distracted. Damn it and run away.
…………
For the last time only, the drift shield looked back.
Somehow the girl knight cared about the direction.
Childhood friend girl - leads to Lotus Castle Colorful Flower House, that way.
With views of the city from the corner of the sidewalk, Belgrette
"Wah... ahh"
He had an unprecedented face of surprise and was blinded by the sight in front of him.
Naturally.
Thin dirty arcades, blurry streetlights, and shutter streets with sunsets and more than half closed. Do salaried men in suits going on the sidewalk go straight home or even stop for drinks? The peak of the home rush also left, the traffic of neglected cars -.
It's a very routine piece of country night, but if you try it on Belgrette, it's all the first time you see it.
"Wow,......!
Whenever the car drives off the boulevard, he shrinks to hide behind the drift shelter.
Such a rare trick of a different world girl was irresistibly loving drifting protection, but I can't do this forever. Even if you're just sitting in the same spot, it's something that you can't deny to people.
"Look, let's go"
The drift shelter wore Parker's hood shallow and walked out of the driveway to shelter Belgrette. I'm a girl knight who's definitely kicking ass,
"Ha. After all, cars...... do you care about automobiles?
"Ugh, yeah. What principle is that working on...?
One big iron box after another passing without the power of a horse must be one of the most incomprehensible to the inhabitants of the fantasy world.
"Right... by analogy over there, a force similar to the God of Fire chant Oracle? let's do machines and science... feel like we're making it happen and running...?
"Ugh, um...?
I didn't seem to get it. Instead, the drift protection was unintelligible as I said it myself. But if you try to explain to someone who doesn't know the automobile this way, you realize the difficulty.
At the end of the day, there is a civilizational instrument for drifting shelter, which is obvious - it's just a story that I've been familiar with since I was born, and I don't understand how it works properly. In that sense, I still feel no different from magic.
"Still, it's bright...... I can't believe we keep getting so much light..."
Belgrette's eyes, which go down the dark sidewalk by the lights, are poured into a spectacular variety of things.
"That blue light..., that, turned yellow... ah, turned red"
"That's a signal. It manages automobiles and pedestrian flows."
"Is that... sixty, eighteen thousand eh...? It's a pink sign."
"Oh, that's..., I'm glad I didn't read it out"
"What's that over there... the store?
"Oh, with the burger shop. You sandwiched meat in bread, fried potatoes, coffee... it's a national chain that can be eaten easily."
I was also a drifter who wanted to come in with me because I had come this far, but I still decided I should avoid it now.
The sadness of the countryside or the stores that look over the glass are so idle that they worry about management. Still, I can't deny the possibility that if you eat in these places, you will bowl with students from the same school - back to work.
- In conclusion.
I knew I had those anxieties, so it was a little far-fetched to stretch my legs all the way downtown at this hour.
When I got here, people's eyes were just inevitable. Though different from the passers-by, the drift shelter was sometimes hooded, rather grand with an unfamiliar face. The opposite stands out because it freaks me out.
Though.
The gaze of the wrong people is so fixed that it must be. Coming from different worlds, to a girl named Belgrette. I guess you can turn a rare eye just to being a foreigner, but in addition to that, you have a stunning look, a drifting elegance, as if you embodied 'beauty' itself. So why are you in jersey? Such elements seemed too sufficient to distract the people on the road.
The gaze of a couple of men who tried to pass nailed Belgrette, and a muddled woman with him...
"... soooo, some model...? But why jersey...?
It is the beginning and end of forgetting even jealousy and turning a stunned eye. That's right, Belgrette also made herself look uncomfortable as she walked.
"... I don't know, they look amazing..."
"As it were, well, yeah. You stand out just because you're from another country, especially since this is rural. I've walked enough, and I'm going home early to make it better, Mr. Bell."
"Ugh, yeah."
I wore a cardigan in a chic hue on my jersey because I knew a hundred people would stand out in person.
(To this extent, was it impossible to plain the bell child... or rather the gap adoration? So damn cute...... no, I just have to get married......)
Slightly sooner, I pick a side road with fewer people to go home to. As such, the moment I tried to be different from the passers-by who didn't know how many,
"Arihai, huh?
The passers-by. The person who came face-to-face and stopped his leg.
Not against a prominent interracial girl - I did squeal that way toward a plain boy in a hood.
――――――――
It's not a mistake to hear. The opponent is stopping his leg. Out of the way, and a bouncing heart beat.
Reflectively, unthinkable, the name-called driftshield raises its face.
Will the back be about five centimeters lower than the driftshield or Belgrette? Short bob with dark hair, aligned with shoulders. Tidy face with no makeup. Big eyes with a strong impression of being active are now stunned open.
"Arihai, right...?
Blue blazer in winter clothing. A blue box pleated skirt with slightly packed lengths and shortened lengths, as most women do. A high school girls uniform that was attended by drift guards.
I guess I'm going back to work. The high school girl in that uniform dropped a sports bag on the ground that had been lowered from her surprising less shoulder. Dosari and like betty comics and dramas. The expression of those creations isn't exaggerated, either... etc., and while I think calmly somewhere in the corner of my head, the driftshield squeals the name of the person.
"... Miyahara" Miyahara ", seniors..."
For the first time in a long time, the junior boy had spoken the name of a high school karate ministry to which he belonged, his manager, a girl student.
