"... what the hell, you. Are you crying again?"

As a child, she was a terrible crybaby.

How can I help him? At a young age, I seriously bothered.

Watching TV one day, the righteous hero Marshall Lunger was battling the Phantom of Evil as he flew endlessly around the screen.

This is it, I thought.

You just have to be strong. I don't care what kind of guy he's dealing with, enough to kick his ass. That's all.

"What's your name? Liquid care, huh? It's so hard. Nice to meet you."

My father took me to the dojo where I first stepped in. I still remember a clear air with a sacred and harsh atmosphere.

The powerless boy was instantly fascinated by the shapes and performances that the old man showed him there.

Sometimes my body tended to be weak and sick, and in the name of overcoming it, it started that day.

A life inseparable from martial arts.

The old man who became a mentor - the Ten Rivers of One Mountain - praised his talent for drifting shelter.

Liquid shielding also met expectations and increased technology.

When I was in middle school where I had more to teach adults who came in later and no one was properly touched.

There were questions that were asked quite often.

"What's the cut that started karate?

Well... when I was little, I was weak.

It was commonplace to cloud with such an answer. I couldn't have told anyone yet, such as the real reason.

"Hey. Protect me, why did you karate out?

I've even asked her that question about when it was.

The snotty boy stuck with "What's it to do with you, asshole?" and the usual fight starts...

There's no way I can tell you.

I can't believe I wanted to be the help of one girl named Lotus Castle Colorful Flowers and was burned to strength.

"So it's over here today...... miso, flavor? So..."

"Seriously, Mr. Belko, let's try miso. It's a familiar flavor for Japanese people... but it might be tough if you're not used to it."

"Oh, really? But to not try......, I'll try...!

At noon it became a classic to soak up a couple ramen that had been bought up,

"Tomorrow... rain, sounds like it. Laundry, would you like to dry properly?"

Belgrette grows to use TV weather forecasts as a matter of course, whining about things like Japanese housewives.

Although it is still a little unfamiliar, civilized instruments such as water and electricity are also being used.

Day six after coming to modern Japan.

It was what I had imagined, but this girl's speed of understanding and adaptability had something to keep an eye on.

And...

"... I wonder what happens to these two..."

Belgrette, a jersey girl who sat with her spine stretched out in demeanor. That serious look is poured into the love drama that plays within the LCD screen - or "Daydra".

Initially, he said, "I can't believe you're using a black water mirror to show a play! I see!" was a fantasy girl who was surprised, but was now nailed to the screen.

'How can you not understand, Mr. Takayuki!?

"That way! You always have!

The illumination of the background was also in a brilliant evening park, where young men and women in suits showed off their irresistible insane tale genka.

"Doesn't say either too much...? I'm holding off on marriage, so calm down more..."

"Unfortunately, you're welcome. After this, the woman was more like, 'I don't know Mr. Takayuki anymore!' You'll follow and run away, and you'll go to the bar with all the momentum. So, when I'm drinking alone while yagging, I get a voice in the gracious older nice middle. There's been a fight and booze momentum, and the woman stays with that Osama for a forbidden night." Oh my God... I'm sorry Takayuki, but only once... "How dare you forgive yourself bi... she was a woman, but then later Nice Middle transferred as the boss of the workplace. Oh my God, that's a tough dimension. The woman gets boarded up between her fiancée and her Nice Middle boss and continues to the end in a drool. Definitely."

"Oh, yeah!? Forbidden Chi......,!? No, you can't! Oh no, I'm even engaged, with another guy......!? You can't pretend like that... No, no, no, no! First, until we get married. Well, that's the thing."

While a noble lady with a strict sense of chastity was badly upset, on the other side of the screen, the actress said, "I don't know Mr. Takayuki anymore!" He rushes out screaming. It was the moment when Arichi Protection became a prophet.

"Ahhh!

"Ahhh!

The screams of Mr. Takayuki and Belgrette were completely synchronized, and the driftshield unwittingly blew out a boffy snot.

"Oh, no... just like Lugo said..."

"Whoa, whoa. So I told you...... No, I didn't think I'd hit you this far... Hey, you're back in your room, me."

"Oh, yeah"

She left behind a girl knight who couldn't help but wonder about the continuation of her better-loving hate play, and Lifeguard left her living room behind.

"Like this... or something"

Pampers and hands, looking over the entire room. While I was satisfied with the clean room, I nodded yeah in my heart.

"... Ha ha"

I remember Belgrette earlier, and her cheeks loosen.

She became visible and bright. There is so much room to show interest in such a noon drag. That would be natural, too. It was as if we finally had a vision for a return to our homeland that was not foreseeable.

I got an e-mail about an example that suddenly changed things, the day after that. The same address sent me another email.

'I forgot to tell you something important. Opportunities are unique. I want you to think that you can't come and go like this anymore. I want you to rethink and decide until the due date'

It's not compulsory, I'll leave it up to you to do something about it - but I told you so.

I tried sending an email to ask for more details, but I didn't get any more replies just as I should.

Did I tell you what to tell them?

(Is the opportunity only once…? Then I want you to explain it better)

I can't deny the possibility of a trap either, but at least I'm pretty sure that mysterious messenger is the one who knows Grimcrows. If you move as specified, there must always be progress in some way, whether you can really go back or not.

If the faint light made Belgrette's feelings easier, it should have been very welcome as a drift protection.

And

(Me too... now I'm not lost)

So this is how I cleaned up my room.

I don't know the translation, it's not like back then when I first got lost in Grim Crows. Now, of his own free will, he returns to another world. Give me this room - the house. Leaving modern Japan. As an indication of such determination.

"More than I thought... there was nothing there? I left it behind and all that."

I shrugged with half a laugh, as if to ask myself to agree.

Come back to your hometown. Run away from the public eye and hide. Recognize the reality that a student with six months of blanks, carried a handful of

A miserable past and a reality full of misery. Unprecedented future.

(Saturday and Sunday were the same... and it was going to be depressing.)

I had my first weekend back the other day.

Because of this holiday, wandering around the city in private clothes will not be suspicious. It's a good opportunity, so let's take Belgrette out - but in the end it ended up being a shutdown, a Saturday and Sunday that closed in the house.

There was a festival in the neighborhood shrine, and there were a lot of people out there, not very much, but they couldn't get out. Someone was constantly coming and going on the narrow roads of the estate, which were usually idle.

Instead of going out, I can say that it was best to try not to be noticed that we were spending time in this house. faintly wooden spirits, listening to the audio of the Karaoke Games.

Back in this modern Japan, nearly a week is about to pass as soon as possible. Time to keep lurking your breath like a criminal, which continues unchanged......

(At first, I thought that if my dad came home, my life would be over... or something, but in the end, it would be an example day before that)

The date specified for the example is the third day of December. My father plans to return home for four days. A mistake just a day apart. Exactly, I might have wanted to see my father's face once. Should I at least leave you with one of my letters?

(Well, it's not like I've decided I can definitely go to Grim Crows yet..., oh)

As I think about it, I notice that the red light that was gleaming securely in one corner of the room went off. It was on a dedicated stand, my phone was charged.

It was only this morning, as it was delayed, that I realized its existence, which had been left unattended with it thrown into a sack that was not. The habit of carrying mobile phones - and so on - had disappeared completely by life in different worlds, thus delaying their discovery.

(Senior Miyahara also told me to turn it on... I completely forgot)

It was completely out of battery, so I put it on the stand a few hours ago. In different worlds, it was repeated instant charging by an electric daughter named Mia, so it's actually been six months since charging by the right method.

I'm glad I didn't blow the fire while charging for now because of some problems such as the time notation going crazy - and the flow protection I tried to push the power button in casually,

"... ugh, what...!?

I almost went against it unexpectedly.

Icons that appear one after the other on the screen.

Numerous absenteeism incoming calls and, indeed, more than fifty email receptions.

…………

It was natural.

By turning it on within the radio's reach, since it went missing - emails accumulated in the half-year buildup and notifications of absenteeism have been pushing in the dot while the avalanche lasted.

"Oh well, that's right...... Eh..."

While I laugh bitterly, I freeze to see the sender of the first email, its name.

……

There is also no possibility of having to come this far and not open it. Press the decision button so that it is pushed into motion.

"- - Huh."

Arishi shield.

After returning to modern Japan, for the past six days - I had dared not to look at it, not to think about it, to look directly at a certain reality.

"Hey, where are you doing what?!? What time do you think it is? I can't get through the phone! Call me when you see this! Ahoy! '

Type-dependent emoticons scattered all over the place, it's busy.

Lotus Castle Colorful Flowers, there is a childhood friend named

Each other's houses are a short five-minute walk away. kindergarten, elementary, middle, and high school. Same journey I've been on.

When I was a kid, I was always with him because of something.

As I progressed with middle school and high school, my chances of seeing each other diminished little by little.

Stream protection is karate and colorful flowers are cooking. Mutually, the more time we devote to the activities we were typing into would also be a factor.

Now, in retrospect, the decision was made...

'... hey, driftshield. That... if I had... a boyfriend. What if I said...?

'... oh?... yeah what?... I got hit.'

'I'm talking serious. Will you stop playing games and listen to me?

I may have had one hand on the console, but I was listening properly.

Then I became a fool - I thought dull.

Then I guess we should distance ourselves from this, then.

Colorful flowers are like a sister to Lifeguard. Let him say, "You're like my brother."

Something good happened to such a 'family', so it's natural to celebrate.

"Oh, I'm glad. He showed up like you and the love of dating."

'..., huh? What's wrong with that? You really think so...?

I noticed the tremor in my voice and raised my face.

There's, like, a childhood friend face that I've never even seen - angry, sad.

"Go home."

'What?'

'Uh, sorry, I had an appointment with that boyfriend from now on. I forgot, I'm sorry. So, go home.'

Oh, my God, it's not the usual.

Still, in the future, I guess our relationship will change a little bit too - oh, my God, it's also true that I just felt a little lonely.

In fact, you and I spend less time together.

Yet,

'... hey. Tomorrow, Hima?... time, can't you make it?

That day, say that as a matter of course.

Every year, the summer festival was indispensable for the two of us.

Go with your boyfriend, what are you doing - I can't believe you replied right after you realized you were flying to that Grim Crows.

More than fifty emails and notifications just pushed over.

These words were sent after Arisu Current Protection disappeared from modern Japan and did not arrive.

While Arishi Shield was being set up with heroes in different worlds - the thoughts of those left behind, spinning behind behind.

After six months of blanking, the recipient boy will finally see all of it.

'I asked my uncle. What do you mean you haven't been home since the evening? Call me as soon as you notice the e-mail. "

"Hey, where are you now? What are you doing? I'm not angry, please respond. Answer the phone."

It would be around the time I recognized the seriousness of the situation. No emoticons are used anymore.

There's a situation after I'm gone. The mood of that girl who panicked. Take it in your hand.

"Oh silly son. I don't know where or what you're doing, but you can't just let the police know. It may be hard for you to show your face, but just come back. Don't worry about Colorful Flowers, you bastard. I'll wait for you."

"It's Miyahara. I'm talking about Arihai, so I'm worried... I'm doing it in a lot of ways, but you're okay. Everybody's waiting. '

Fathers, managers grapefruit, classmates......

Especially right after disappearance, a huge amount of messages are pushing in.

With each passing day, those things also diminish. There was only one name that eventually kept sending me emails.

It was a quiz today. It's been two months, but I'm late for school and it's gonna be tough. Well, I'll teach you kindly, so don't just come back. '

"I had a rough day at the club - But when it was over, I thought it was the holidays and I got through it! Praise! '

Like every day.

I haven't heard back yet.

"Ha ha... not your day book, my email folder..."

That's just less frequent by the time two and a half or three months pass, too. Still, as if to disconnect. Never, never just interrupt......

"Hey, driftshield. In the end, I never saw you again this summer. I've never seen anything like it. From now on, I wonder if this will be the norm. '

"Hey, it's time to come home"

Colorful flowers themselves, I guess they understood that there was no more reply.

The time for sending emails is running out day and night. Even though it was a weekday, some were being sent at 2 or 3 at night.

And that's - that time, it's nothing more than a sign that she couldn't sleep.

"What are you doing now? I'm not sleepy at all."

"I want to see you"

"I want to see you, Lifeguard."

"...............................................................!

She accidentally swallowed the scream down to her throat.

I am.

Like I didn't think about it, I did.

Ever since I went to Grimcrows or came back like this.

I was trying not to think about you.

Yet you are.

It's like a contrast. Positive opposite.

This girl, as if cursed - was tied to the Arishi shield that was gone.

"Idiot, forget about me..."

Zero voices were trembling.

"Hey, homeless, are you dead? Then I'll go that way, too."

Zowa, and a bad feeling shook the boy's entire body.

That email was received a month ago. The time is 4: 42 AM, which gives a sense of strange ominousness.

Since returning to this world, Lifeguard has not confirmed any trends in colorful flowers. All this time, I kept distracting myself from her.

I don't know what Lotus Castle Colorful Flowers is doing right now.

No way...

In a hurry to check your next email,

"Nah. Surprised? Come back here, you idiot."

The sigh of relief is exhaled in abundance.

"Bullshit,... Bullshit, stupid"

If it had been 'such a thing' in the first place, the other day, Teak would have said something. He said students at school had 'misfortune' while the drift shelter was absent. I couldn't even feel the bare gesture of hiding those things.

I keep checking my emails as I try to tell myself that I don't have that kind of balls.

"All of a sudden, I'll make a confession of shock. Actually, I, I couldn't believe I had a boyfriend. It was a big lie. No, the senior in the club confessed. I said no, but I still can't get him to give up... He's sweet, and he's not a bad person. I was talking to that senior, and some of my colleagues saw me, and I got all sorts of things set up. So I thought I'd talk to you too. But if I tell you... '

Oh, and exhalation leaks through the throat of the drift protection.

'... hey, driftshield. That... if I had... a boyfriend. What if I said...?

"Oh, I'm glad. He showed up like you and the love of dating."

'..., huh? What's wrong with that? You really think so...?

I should have known.

My childhood friend who was with me for ten years, how I wanted him to react there, etc.

"You can't pull it off! Silly! Anyway, that's why Mr. Colorful Flowers is still free. If you had a boyfriend with me, and you were paying extra attention or something, you wouldn't have to do that! I confess, but your reaction is so thin and hurtful! Ahoy! I can't say anything anymore... See, you're relieved, aren't you? Come back here! It's time for the stove season."

"... what is this long sentence on a weeknight?"

Yeah, I thought it was weird.

After all, it was just once, because I never actually saw him and his boyfriend do it.

I don't know what the fuck you're looking at, that idiot.

Back to back with that feeling, the strange moya that was smoking inside my chest clears up so much.

'Hey, shield, I like it.... as a replacement for my brother! Come back soon, Baba.'

Last received just four days ago. Not since the shield has already returned.

The newest email was that.

"You are the fool, fool......!

The squeezed voice was a whimpering mix.

- I was trying not to think about it.

Oh, my God, I pretended to forget about you.

Because if I remember, if I realized, I was going to scream out.

I'll never see you again.

I totally forgot about me, and I might be getting along with my boyfriend.

But if colorful flowers are happy, that's fine.

That's supposed to happen, but I'm not convinced.

I think I'm going to be crushed by the feeling of being pinched.

"......, ugh"

I don't give a shit, it's over.

I'm here now. In Japan, in my own home… I am less than five minutes away from Colorful Flower House. I'm in a place where I can respond to his voice.

(You said come back? Ha, oh, I'm back, I'm already...!

As furious, such a voice whispers in my head.

"Colorful flowers......"

I opened the Create Email Reply screen to be pushed around.

I should be in class just making the call. Hold back your feelings of deviation and take a deep breath.

How do I write it?

When I get back to you, I get weird and nervous. They're colorful flowers, so calm down.

".................. Huh!

So I hacked, and the driftshield took off my phone.

(... stupid, I am)

What are you going to do?

What are you going to do by texting Colorful Flowers here?

In a few days, we might cross to Grimcrows again. I would like to hide that I am in this modern Japan.

Even if I contact Colorful Flowers here, it just makes me happy.

What's more, it could be caused by contacting you. If the existential protection and the presence of Belgrette came to light - for example, being held by the police - it could also be like not being able to make it to the park at a specified date and time.

"Me...,"

Arishi shield goes to that world again.

That's what I should have decided.

But.

'... are you okay...? So...'

Belgrette's lines are repeated in the back of his brain.

It's like I was anticipating this development, the word.

………………

He's right. Am I supposed to do that? Why don't we just get it over with? You're crazy to go back to that light-hearted world again.

In my head, whisper in a cold voice the other self.

Again, the chanter Mage is going to fight against the demons, and the next thing you know, you might die. This Japan is certainly boring, but at least there's no such thing as living or dying. Something that puts your life at risk can't happen first. Without a doubt, we can live safer than the rest of the world.

I was originally just Japanese with no weirdness whatsoever. Just a high school student.

Why don't you stay here?

That way, you won't have to worry about anything. I can let Colorful Flowers know. I said I'm home. He said he wasn't going anywhere anymore.

That was recoil.

Such thoughts, which had so far been unconsciously suppressed, began to swirl through the boy like a storm.

……

Belgrette stood up in front of the sheltered room.

And...

(... let's go back)

Eventually, he turned back quietly without knocking on the door.

I'd like to try brewing my own tea, sugar. Where?

Very, it wasn't the kind of atmosphere where you could ask me that.

(...... Lugo......)

From the gap in the door that wasn't closed, I could see it. I dropped my gaze on "Phone Denwa," and I saw him shivering my shoulders.

(Same as then...)

That was a few days after Lifeguard came to Midir College. The night before the college was raided by the resentment demons.

Claiming that he came from a different world called 'Chicu', he took out that 'Phone Denwa' by saying he would show you proof of it. And just like now. I stared at 'Phone Denwa' and wept.

I know now that I've learned a little bit. Probably got an email from someone. Its function of being able to do things like exchange letters.

And that opponent...

"Colorful Flowers......"

I've only heard that name once in the past.

College was attacked by a bunch of resentful demons, that day. There was a struggle when the name of the shield became known, that day.

A name called for Belgrette in the midst of a colloquial conversation by Liquid Protection, who took a breath in annihilation of a large group of Draughtrow.

"Colorful Flowers...?

"Aya, ka......?

'Oh, oh no. What are you talking about? I am. No, colorful flowers, like my sister who was in the original world-'

That's what he said at the time.

I didn't like to ask because I was asked in detail, so I haven't touched on the topic since then.

……

Being like a sister.

Really, is that all? She said she was a girl.

Yeah. I like drift protection, ■ ■.

……

Remembering the feeling of flutter and body leaning, Belgrette leaned toward the wall.

(... hey, to...? Stand up, Kurumi...?

It's hard to fall down the stairs. Hands cautiously and painstakingly stomps on the stage.

Really, I'm surprised.

No way, to such a halinova.

The situation is honest, unexpected. seaux ° se e e e e e e e e e e e

Glad, but no. You can't do this.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Just in case, Si.

≥ - - . \32

Never.

So the swordfish of Svette fit.

"- -... eh"

The next thing I knew was a headache so distant in consciousness. Stunning enough to make my location blurry.

And

(First time, isn't it...?

Intense visibility.

…… Me, I...)

It was also a matter of a moment when thought was about to reach the truth.

Belgrette's consciousness was instantly sucked into the darkness. as if it were inhibited by someone.
