I Kinda Came to Another World, but Where’s the Way Home?

- It's dark.

I kind of miss it...... yeah, this is that one, just like when I died. The feeling of sinking deeper, colder and deeper into the bottom of the dark sea. But the feeling of falling is much slower than it was before... maybe this means it's not fatal than then.

But if it stays like this, I'm sure I'll die. I hate to die, I want to manage to get back up there, but I don't have a physical feeling. It feels like only consciousness sinks, I have no hands to move my hands, I have no feet to bump my feet. No, no hitter... I wonder if this will die...

I wonder what happened to Finia, I don't think she's dead at that stage because she protected your face... I don't think that monster is leaving Finia alive. When I think of those red eyes...... I just got a little scared again.

Then,

―――

I fell into the sensation of my sinking body surfacing. Something is wrapping up about me and pulling me up. Maybe this is possible, I can still... live.

In the dark, I saw one light. I don't have a sense of a hand, but I consciously reach out. Little by little, when the light grew louder, and the whole perimeter was surrounded by bright white light - I heard voices.

- Right. - Mm-hmm! - Nah, nah!

Oh, this is that kid's voice. My best friend, Shishi's voice. She's calling, I have to go...

My consciousness floated in the light.

◇ ◇ ◇

"Mr. Tight! Mr. Tight!!

In the woods, there was a voice calling for an orange noise (tight) falling on the ground.

The Lord of that voice is the little fairy...... Finia. He had activated healing magic over and over again, pointing those hands at the falling orange noise. The magic has expired and I still have my hands on it to use it, but naturally the magic has not been activated.

The orange noise was sinking into the sea of his own blood. The wound is healed by healing magic, but bleeding is common. Whoever saw it was obvious that the orange sound face was blue and white and still in a state of death.

"Mr. Tight! Wake up! Wake your eyes............!!

Finia is so grumpy that she can't even fly out of magic. Normally, she couldn't help but faint from exhaustion, but Finia was desperately calling to the orange noise.

When Finia woke up, the monster had already disappeared. Instead, the orange noise was falling on the verge of death. In the first place, Finia hasn't seen the enemy. Finia has no idea what attacked her and then what happened to the orange noise. Anyway, I was desperate to keep using healing magic.

"Tough - hah... hah...!

The calling voice gets smaller and becomes rough breathing. I broke my knee and sat down on the ground. Embrace the orange-sounding fingers present without power in front of you, erasing your usual smile and sobbing. He wept with a puffy tear and made a small cry with a whimper.

"Ugh.............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. Uh-huh! Ginno. Come on!

A young cry sounds. Her tears moistened the orange noise hands.

Then the wet hand moved pickly.

"... don't cry... Finia..."

"Huh! Mr. Tight!

"Keho... ha... ha... you look alive somehow"

"Yeah...... good......!

The orange noise remained pale in expression, waking the body up. And look around and understand that there are no more angry monsters. I exhaled relief for now.

And I put my left hand half over my face... I noticed.

……… ... Finia... sorry, my face... on the left, what's going on?

"Huh..."

To the question of orange noise, Finia is breathtaking. Probably noticed and hard to say. But when the orange noise looked into Finia's eyes, she opened her mouth poking away.

"... hi, my left eye... no (...)..."

Finia was right, the left eye of the orange noise was gone. There was a red and black hole in the place where the orange noise had left eye.

That's what Orange Sound said and somehow understood what had happened between the time I hung myself to death and Finia woke up. Probably because of that grumpy monster... the one with the red eyes. While the orange noise was unconscious, the monster 'ate' the left eye of the orange noise.

I don't know if that is a warcraft or another creature, but the possibility of eating people is well thought out than attacking people.

Orange noise took his hand away from the hole in his left eye, feeling his lost left half vision.

"... eyes, or..."

The orange noise strokes Finia's head with her fingertips as she looks up worried about herself and stands up. I glanced over at the slightest hit and found the fox face in the rear. Fluffy walks over and picks it up.

And I put Finia on my right shoulder while she was still in.

"Mr. Tight......"

"It's okay... let's move on..."

The remaining right eye of the orange sound was as dark as cloudy. The pale expression went hand in hand, and the appearance was like a ghost, a little creepy. But still, the cloudy eyes had a slight willingness to live. Only the promise made to Shinozaki Shinozaki now supported the orange noise.

Fluffy, slightly orange sounds go on. We're almost to the city. The orange noise was applied to the face held in his hand. Instead of hanging it next to his head this time, he put it on to cover his face tightly. An orange sound wrapped around the expression of a fox so as to hide the hole in his left eye, covering his pale expression.

"And, hey..."

Little by little, but he did move his legs forward.

◇ ◇ ◇

The time is night. When the sky was also getting much dimmer, the orange noise and finia were taking a break under the big tree. The orange noise did not take off his face and he leaned against the tree and slept. Finia is next to such an orange noise, vigilant around her.

She, rather than fairies, doesn't need meals or sleep to live. Technically, you can eat and sleep… but not necessarily. What fairies need to live with is their own mediation, 'nature' or 'thoughts'.

Nevertheless, the fairies have the same flesh and spirit as humans. Like humans, if you get fatally injured, you die normally.

Fairies of the natural species die but new fairies are born, but ideological species do not come back to life even if they had left an object of thought. It's just that the survival of an item of thought doesn't eliminate its life expectancy, it doesn't stop it from dying. Of course, if an object of thought is destroyed, it will die.

Besides, that's why Finia, who doesn't need sleep, keeps an eye out all night. But I've seen orange noises many times with an unusual, dark look on my face. The look made me feel guilty.

She regrets it. I feel responsible for driving the orange noise to death from the side I said I would protect it.

"Mr. Tight......"

Moreover, it made me pay the irrevocable price of 'left eye'. Damage you can't do on your own. Using healing magic now couldn't cure the damage. Phinea was wondering if the healing magic skill level was not enough, or if magic could not cure her no matter how high the level.

"Mr. Tight... I'll protect you..."

Finia squeaks like that and grips her little fist tight. The magic has recovered, the body moves too.

I don't want to hurt the orange noise any more, even at the expense of my own life to protect me from it, Finia said with determination in her flax eyes.

"From now on, I... will be your left eye"

The murmur, which was released with a small hand resting on the face of the orange noise hidden on his face, sounded small in the dim woods and disappeared.

◇ ◇ ◇

The night dawned.

It was in the early morning that the orange noise woke my eyes and walked out again with Finia. Before meeting with the monster of temper, there was no more conversation that had been played, and in awkward silence, the orange sounds were progressing.

As of last night, it went pretty far, and the city had already cut 1 km left. Things had changed around him, and the gap between the trees had gradually widened, and the height of the grass trees was lower. I have an anticipation that I'll be out of the woods soon.

………

"………………"

Finia still doesn't know what the face hidden on your face looks like. My footprint is getting a lot better than it was yesterday, so I probably slept overnight and I seem to have largely recovered. When it comes to what the sound has eaten up to the last three days, it is the nuts that grew on weeds and trees that seem to be okay to eat. There was no change in my body when I ate it, so I took some and ate it, but now I'm out of that stock.

And, for the first time in hours there, the orange noise opened its mouth.

"............ Finia"

"Huh! I don't know!

"I'm sorry, it's okay now... I've sorted out a lot of feelings."

That's what the orange noise says, takes off his face and laughs bitterly. Behind that face I can see the hollow left eye... but the orange noise seemed to stepped on about it. There were no more worries about the look on the orange noise in the evidence.

"Ugh, yeah! I'm sorry... I told you I'd protect you..."

"Haha, you don't have to worry about it. I'm sure Finia's no match for you... better than that... I'm glad Finia's okay."

"... yeah"

Finia stands down on the shoulder of orange noise and aligns herself with the cheeks of orange noise. Although the mental wounds had not yet fully healed, the expressions of the two were only slightly softer than earlier.

"Ah... Finia, look"

"Huh...... ah!

At the tip of the orange noise pointing out, there was - a wide meadow. Through the woods. And before I looked over the meadow... I saw the city.

The orange noise and the look on Finia's face brightened up, thinking of all the hard work I've been doing to get this far over the last three days.

"Yay...!

"Let's go! Mr. Tight!"

Orange sounds run out to Finia's voice. The city is only about 800m away, as soon as you run. The orange sound, which has also improved greatly in status, proceeds as quickly as possible. Little by little the city approaches.

But the last thing that got in my way here.

"Become...!

"Come here...!

Approximately 500 m from the city, a warcraft appeared before the orange noise. What showed up were a few wolves the size of large dogs. With the exasperation of hostility, I can see orange sounds as prey.

"... I see, but no... it doesn't even reach under the feet of that monster, not to the extent of you"

But orange sounds are not frightening. Having thoroughly tasted the fear of death and experienced two deaths, the orange noise was now mentally strong enough to say there was nothing to be afraid of. Once you experience a huge threat, you're not afraid of the trivial threats that follow.

And it becomes the most beneficial force to take to orange noise.

"Status"

"Is that it? Is some kind of 'pain resistant LV8' degenerating? Well, look... I've tried to deal with that monster before and I understand it."

"Grrrrrrrr......!

"of skills, how to activate them -!"

When orange sounds said that, I saw something in the sight of the wolves for a moment. It was like an organism, a non-living being - yes, it was death itself.

- "Creepy Physique"

The wolves take a step back. Because the atmosphere of orange noise has changed.

Scary, creepy, I don't want to get close, creepy pressure enough to think so. A dangerous sign that I find more difficult than close, even though we are weak people who would surely be able to kill if we all hung them.

"Oh, and... and this too"

That's what the orange noise said, and I laughed thinly. And at that moment, the next skill is activated.

- "Intimidation"

The pressure unleashed on the wolves grew even heavier. Heavy enough to think they would be crushed, the wolves were unable to move a step off the spot, wanting to escape. My body is getting stiff with so much intimidation.

"Active skills only mean I can act like that... but it seems that passive skills have conditions for activation... that's my 'creepy physique' or something... I'm sure I need a mental trigger to activate this. In my case, it's deeply related to fear… my skills are probably activated when I'm mentally stable"

The wolves have to listen to the monologue of the orange noise very much. I can't move.

"And my skills are things like intimidating the other person's spirit... are you afraid of me?

The orange noise approaches the wolf with a thin laugh. And I stroke the head of a wolf who's motionless, and I walk right past it.

"Bye, if you find out that weak people can't be fools either... it's something you don't attack when you're nagging"

When orange sounds said that and unskilled them, the wolves were able to move as if the bondage had been broken.

However, he did not imitate the sound of oranges… he left for the woods frightened. Orange sounds dropped it off just looking back at his neck, and he ran off again with a thin laugh.

"Are you okay, Mr. Tight? You don't have to kill me."

"That's okay, now if we're alive... that's fine"

"... well, yeah! That's right!

Finia laughs all the time. Orange sounds make me laugh thinly. Returning to the usual two, Orange Sound and Finia reached the city entrance.

"... ha... ha... we got there...!

"Yeah......!

"Good -"

But the orange noise loses consciousness there. Although it has recovered, much fatigue has accumulated in its body and spirit. The orange noise fell out of the peace of mind that led to the city, or like it had been switched off.

"Mr. Tight! Mr. Tight!?

Finia calls out worried about such an orange noise. But the orange noise reassured him that he was just asleep because he was breathing regularly.

But I can't just leave you here like this. Finia with a troubled look on her face.

and there,

"Er... are you okay... aren't you?

"Huh?"

That's what I heard.
