Different worlds of the last heaven and knights of the fist.

Somehow, the sound of inadvertently stepping on the floorboard sounds.

Under the street guards standing at the back entrance, came the Lord of the Arihai family - his father, Arihai Yuanyi.

"Refuge..."

That voice I hear for a long time. Never seen it before, my father's full look of amazement.

"Father...,... er..."

I couldn't stand the awkwardness and agitation and missed my gaze - momentarily, a blunt impact runs down the left cheek of the stream protection.

――

Blinking vision, the breath-drinking voice of Belgrette heard from right behind.

For the first time I stomped on the spot, I realized I had been stuck on my cheek.

"Oh, my God, this..."

I tried to eat it reflexively, but I couldn't.

If I put in front of my father's expression that I had never seen before, that I could indulge in something.

"... Edamame Chang, please, how many months have I been thinking... you stupid son. Can't you be satisfied with one of your uses?"

If you hear that voice, like squeezing it out...

"... Ha, ha..., maybe. I lost that edamame chan too..."

Holding down his left cheek, which only slightly tingles...... his son clogged his words as he felt a twinge in the back of his nose.

The place is the living room.

Lifeguard and Belgrette sat on the couch side-by-side, across the table from Arihai Yuan.

Two Arihai men sitting as usual. And one unfortunately nervous girl. Being a beautiful Belgrette in posture from day to day, she now pinned her spine with full unnaturalness and looked down at me casually.

……

As for drift protection, although I was in the mood to speak up to reassure the girl knight next door like that, I can't afford to do it myself.

- Earlier than planned, my father came home.

It's not like there hasn't been any of these unplanned returns in less than a decade as far as I can remember since I was a kid. About two or three times in the past, though. But I guess we should have considered the possibilities, because the frequency was extremely, at least, precedent.

I would have noticed right away if I had gone through the front of the house on my way home from running. Because there will be a grey jeep parked by the front door, which will be my father's seventh year of car-loving.

…………

Now, how should I explain this to this father? My son tours his thoughts.

My father came back while the drift guards went for a run. It's been a long time since I've been back at home, and I'm sure you're surprised. Because there were traces of life in a house where no one was supposed to be. In addition, the oddity is that it is thoroughly witnessed in the dark and on the boards to prevent indoor lights from leaking.

And most of all, heterogeneous...

(... no excuse, this is just...)

Slip your gaze sideways.

A corner of the living room - a pile of skinned capes and sacks there. And the armor of the evil dragon is just rolling, or even being stood up to a real long sword in the extreme. More than they've seen of these, there's no way they could have worked such as half-breed deception. It seems painful to push through with what I was going to write in the letter.

"Real...... right? What, you've been through quite an unusual adventure? A dozen years ago."

Following my son's gaze, my father laughs so in a sigh.

"... right. There have been many things. To be honest, you're not going to believe me..."

I mocked myself and laughed at the drift protection.

"Uh... Belgrette, was it"

Genji turns to the Girl Knight.

"Ha, ha."

"Ha. No, don't be afraid. Trying to make it easier for me."

"Ha, ha"

"Hmmm... I'm good at Japanese, I really don't want to..."

"Why are you looking at my son like you're looking at a criminal..."

Oh, and the exodus guard who breathed, he set his residence right and turned to his father.

"... I'll talk to you, Dad"

Bellette next door breathes.

It's okay, I nodded to her with the will, and the drift protection spoke out slowly.

Whether or not, I was suddenly flown to another world, because there exists a magical power called the Divine Chanting Art "Oracle," or because a monster called the Grievance Devil is rustling on me - and I was foolishly honest about it, and I'm worried about my head.

Such parts will be blurred, but carefully explained.

That night... after an extra bend, sometime I got lost in a country called Raindeer. Meet all kinds of people. Survive the harsh world of death and neighborhood. And also bless the opportunity to come back to 'This Side' by chance.

"Phew... so, what is that raindeer, the country around?"

"No... look, you know what my geography scores are. Don't ask..."

"You were crossing the ocean while you didn't even know it yourself?

"No, it sounds like..."

"You don't even have a passport... did you even enter the country in secret? Tomorrow morning, I guess the cops won't step in all of a sudden. Give me a break."

"There's... there's a lot going on, it's okay. No problem......"

Same as when it was grapefruit. I can't do it. Modern Japanese people can't return convincing answers to the kind of questions they hold first.

"Hmm..."

Yuanzhi puts his thick arms together and sits back on the couch deeply. A bold and flexible father becomes a more complex face than he has ever seen before.

Maybe I'm thinking about it.

Police and psychiatric hospitals, which should be contacted first.

"Um, it's true. Lugo... My lord, I and... my friends have been saved many times from distress..."

"Right. If such a dra son has helped, it is above all..."

Absurd Yotai tale. But I can't put a smile on it. The existence of a realistic Belgrette gives strange credibility to the story of drift protection, with a number of noisy weapons placed in the corner of the room.

"Khushu"

What a lovely sneeze it was to break the obscure silence.

"Oh, wow, I'm sorry... kushu"

I hold my mouth down and fear that Belgrette seems sorry.

"Whoa, come take a bath, Bellette. Girls shouldn't chill out."

"So, but..."

"Right...... come in, Belle boy. I don't want to catch a cold."

Encouraged by Arishi's parents and children, Belgrette made her way to the bathroom, though she seemed sorry. Silence also descends between the father and son who remain in the living room.

"... but, driftshield"

As we predicted we were alone, Yuanzhi cut it out with a mysterious face.

"What's going on, that girl's here? Terrible......!

Hissing and whispering, he shows a gesture of round and large circles on his chest.

"Father..., don't do this to your fifteen-year-old... It's usually a case..."

"Fifteen!? Is that you and Tame!? Ha, I knew outsiders looked like adults. Your development is totally different. It just feels a little too thin. Are you eating properly? You won't be punished for being a munchkin."

"Call it in."

"Fifteen would be adult enough. First of all, you're the one who's in trouble if you call the police. Missing inquisitors."

"Ha... right. My dad hasn't changed. That's about six months, of course."

My father gave me a slightly lonely smile in response to such gossip of protection.

"... you've changed a little. My body thickened once... and most importantly, my face became sharper. A dozen years ago."

……

A rare compliment for this father. When they say that to my face, my son also gets stuck in a response.

"... Huh... Let me hear some more. Tell me about the last six months."

Sitting down deeper and deeper, Yuan Jiao narrowed his eyes and laughed.

Immersed in water to his shoulders, Belgrette looked at the white, sumptuous bathroom ceiling.

…………

How many days have you been in Japan?

I learned how to burn the bath and how to add water. Even now, I am immersed in a hot tub that I have prepared myself for the right amount and temperature.

Convenience that makes it easy to handle without using the fire god chant "Oracle" or firewood, etc. Comfortable environment. This will also be the last time you will use the Arai family bath in this way.

When I get back to Raindeer, I might miss this comfortable bathroom for a while. Getting used to it is horrible.

Take a breath and switch your mind.

(Lugo's... Father...)

In a sudden and unexpected face to face, I was just upset. Perhaps as much as a drifting guardian. Somehow, it's not very similar. but he was someone with such an atmosphere that I would be convinced if it were said to be his father.

(A little bit like His Majesty, perhaps...)

The impression of a luxurious and wild flavor was somewhat reminiscent of the master of my country.

…………

For the first time in a long time - it won't come true anymore, the face to face of parents and children who thought. Together, you can't be unhappy.

And...

(Lugo......)

He was determined to 'go back' to Grimcrows.

But has the unexpected resumption with the family been enough to dull its will?

Sink your face in a hot tub to the tip of your nose, and the girl knight renews his resolve again.

The day after tomorrow.

I go to the park as specified by the person in question.

(But Lugo...)

Shouldn't Arishi shielding still remain in this world? Because I was born and raised in this world.

(... I am)

I became aware of it.

Feeling for him. That I like drift protection.

Behavior that almost blows fire out of my face, even if I remember it now, such as the fact that I have spoken to him from myself. I cannot confess to God, princess, or father. I'm about to hold my head that I was such a pussy.

But I don't have any regrets.

That's how much I like him.

But that's why. Because I like it.

(I want to respect Lugo's feelings)

Take a look at your own lips.

Even if this thought ended up in an unfulfilled first love, I...

"…, ……………………"

Kakun, my head fluttered.

"Totally..."

Hurry back and keep your back on the edge of the hot tub. I shouldn't. Would it have been too long soaked in water...

What, are you saying?

I don't approve of separation from drift protection.

It was a voice that echoed from the bottom of the abyss.

"- …………"

It overflows from the inside out of itself, something.

Even though I have no idea who it is, I can imagine why it's swirling in a darker color.

"Ma..."

Yes. 'Again'.

Belgrette has suffered from this sensation several times in the past.

Probably at first, when I clashed with Farvnar. Next, the heavenly banquet. When I was watching for drift protection in my guest seat and when I decided to stand up to Predilecke myself. And on this expedition, when Zuwira Shamore came to the hiding cave. Most recently...

"Ku, uhh...!

Unexpectedly hold your head.

I fell under the stairs of this house the other day - at that time.

Exactly the same feeling. Same headache.

It's dangerous to stay here any longer.

Anything goes. Take him.

I won't admit it. Never, Mitmenai.

"What...!

At that time I decided to confront Predilecke.

I thought that 'something' sounding from this inside was a negative part of me, such as fear and weakness.

But no.

This is not that easy.

Drop the stupid idea. The shield will never...

It's like having someone else lurking in your depths.

That's right. That description fits best.

"Ugh, ku...! Ha ha...!

Shake your head hard and keep it sane somehow.

Ask yourself, staring at the warm surface of the water that brings up the dust and white hot air. What is this feeling, chills? I didn't used to. Since when is this...

"... eh"

I don't even have to think about it, like when it started to happen.

- Since we met with Current Protection.

Hold her own shoulder, the girl bows herself down.

"What..."

The only answer to that voice was the sound of Shizuku dripping from the ceiling.
