What was there was a ship.
It's a huge chunk of iron that looks like a toy to our ship.
"What is that!?
"Ship?"
"Why!?
"From where!?
Everyone is confused.
In the meantime, I just murmured "Again."
It was the pear that didn't miss the word.
"Fire shadow, 'after all'?
"Actually, I had a hypothesis and I was convinced it was correct."
I pointed to a warship that looked ahead.
No, not a warship, but a ship.
"We're back in Japan."
It says "Coast Guard" on the ship.
"Probably here...."
I took my phone out of my pocket.
Now it's the phone of the dead Imperial Castle Zero Dou.
His phone is specially made so he can connect anywhere on earth.
"Exactly what I thought!
Show everyone the screen of your phone.
The radio icon that had been dead before was back.
"Eh, what, Yuko!?
Asato shouted with a moaning voice.
Others are chaotic too.
Even the pears who understand my words do not understand the situation.
"Why did we come back to Japan? Instead, how did you come up with the hypothesis that the shadow of fire could return?
"When I took Muscle and Yoshioka on a journey earlier, I saw a thin and marine boat across the fog. It wasn't obvious, but it looked like it was a ship. But you never saw a ship like that from Asia, did you?
"Yeah."
"So I thought. I thought it was the original world ahead of the fog."
"Do you think so!? Normal!"
Asato sand pinches his mouth.
I laughed, "Sure."
"That's why I didn't tell anyone. Because I thought it was a strange idea myself. I don't think it's a good idea to have hope in a delusion."
"So, what was the island that looked beyond the sea?
Now Sofia.
I can't believe I know that.
After affirming that, I went on to say, "This is a hypothesis."
"Maybe it was a message."
"Message...?
"It was because we saw the island beyond the sea that we started to go there. If I hadn't seen the island, I wouldn't have thought about building a ship in the first place. If so, I could never go back to Japan as I am now. The island that looked beyond the ocean was a message that if we tried to cross the ocean with the intention of dying, we could go back to the real world."
"You're right."
The patrol boat approached as we were talking.
The crew is looking at us with binoculars from a deck far higher than ours.
"Shouldn't we all wave?
"That won't be necessary. Obviously, they're looking at us."
"Don't you think it's an illegal international fishing boat?
"If that's what you think, by now, you'll be flooded with water."
We stand up on the spot.
Not much. The patrol crew spoke to me with a loudspeaker.
In summary, he said, "I'm going to rescue you, so don't move."
We followed the words.
It was strangely touching to hear the words of an adult after a long time.
◇
When I boarded the patrol ship, my captain's uncle asked me for details.
We were in the waters further east of Minami-Torijima.
It is a place that falls within the territorial waters of Japan.
Minami-Tori Island is the easternmost island in Japan.
The population is about 20, all of whom are members of the militia and others.
It is no coincidence that there was a marine patrol ship in such a place.
Because Mizuno reported it.
"I knew he was alive! Boulders are the masterpieces of the Triathlon!
According to the captain, Mizuno suddenly appeared on Minami-Torijima one day.
A militia member stationed on the island discovered it.
According to Mizuno's report, patrol ships have been searching the area every day since then.
As a result, there are currently several times as many employees stationed in Minami-Torijima.
The cost of searching won't be foolish.
In that regard, the captain said, "I would spare no money or effort for my life."
It's a cool line, but beliefs alone can't keep searching.
The country did not tie the thread to the gold because there were VIPs in the rescue area.
Specifically the Sophia and the Imperial Castle brothers.
Anyway, we were rescued and transported to Minami-Torijima.
After a few hours of rest, he was transferred to Honshu.
◇
Our return was largely covered on television.
--I didn't get it.
It was handled in secret.
The news of the disappearance in the first place was even buried in the dark.
They won't find out anything about our disappearance online.
Furthermore, the school was demolished and no longer exists.
He was buried in history through thorough work.
We were nailed from the country not to tell anyone about this.
A thorough clamping order was also laid down for relatives, including parents.
Instead, more money than the first prize of the lottery was paid.
All of this involves adult situations.
I was not informed of the details, but it is probably the intention of the Imperial Castle Group.
You must have wanted to hide that Zero Dou and the night were dead.
That was discovered one day by a television show.
The Imperial Castle brothers appeared on television as responsible for the imperial castle group in the future.
But that brother wasn't the Zero Dou and the Night I knew.
He's named Zero Dou and Night, but he's totally different.
Two mysterious brothers from somewhere became the new Imperial Castle brothers.
I felt like I saw the darkness of the world there.
◇
A few months after returning to Japan.
We've all seen each other for a long time.
The place is Sofia's house.
This is an incredibly large mansion in Tokyo's prime location.
Sitting on a semi-circular sofa, everyone surrounds the table.
"First of all, I want to thank you."
I cut it out where everyone was gathered.
"Thank you, Sofia, for preparing this place and for doing a lot of research on your return. Thank goodness."
No, it's so cheap.
We have had little trouble since we returned to Japan.
I thought it might be a hearing, but there was no such thing.
I just spent as much time as I wanted in the VIP room of the big hospital.
After discharge, my daily routine came back so that nothing happened.
They are due to Sofia's efforts.
Normally, they handled all the details of the mountains behind them.
"I have to thank you as much as Sofia."
I stood up and smiled at the face of a man.
"Thank you, and I'm glad you're safe - Mizuno"
Taro Mizuno.
He's one of us, one of the good guys.
His earlier report facilitated the rescue.
"Not enough to be thanked. Instead, I'm sorry that I let you relax first."
Mizuno scratched his back head with a smile.
"I left the island on August 12th last year. It was more than six months after everyone returned. And yet, Shinomiya, instead of letting anyone die alone, you brought your new friends back to life. It's amazing."
New associates are Shiori.
"It was all because of you that I was able to return first, and that other people were able to survive. Perhaps everyone wants to thank you more than anyone."
Mizuno said that everyone else nodded strongly.
"I enjoyed my life on that island, but thank you for planning a trip for us."
The loving vegetables sitting next to her got up and hugged.
With that in mind, the other members also expressed their gratitude one by one.
When I heard it, I was touched, and there was a lot of tears.
"Fireshadow, are you crying!?
"This is not unusual."
"Stop crying!
"Don't tear it up...."
I smiled as I wiped my tears.
Then he holds the champagne glasses on the table.
Inside is not champagne but carbonated juice.
"Love vegetables, pictures, subaragus, pears, sprouts, yonako, tanaka, shadow mountain, yoshioka, muscle, sophia, tenon, shiori, mizuno, and me. Congratulations to all 15 people who survived - cheers!
Cheers!
When I drink a glass of juice, I look at the pears.
The pears were drinking with the chips and smiled gently when their eyes met.
Her stomach was more swollen than it was when she lived on the island.
"It wasn't 15 people who survived, it was 16 mistakes."
The pear smiled happily, "I see."
