In a Different World with a Smartphone
# 227 Memory, and reunion with my mother.
They're coming after me. A man in black in a mask (or a woman, I don't know) wields a waist bay knife and is slashed with a bass on his back.
He fell into the impact of his back and still got his right leg slashed by a horizontal scythe where he tried to get away. The bottom is slashed from the knee. The tip fell off the wrist of his right hand, which he unconsciously raised to prevent the sword from being swung down again. Bright red blood splashes across the back alley, dyeing the sight.
Die. Kill. I don't want to die. We've got to get out of here. We've got to get out of here. We've got to get out of here. If you don't want to die, you have to run.
When I thought so, the cherry blossoms were crushing the words that came to my mind.
"Tele, Port"
At the next moment, cherry blossoms were being thrown out in the water. I move my hands and feet, not knowing what happened, but I can't do anything. My body couldn't resist the flow, I couldn't breathe, and my cherry blossom consciousness broke off in pain and bitterness.
I opened my eyes as I held both hands of the cherry blossom and followed my memory with a "recall" with my forehead together.
"I see. Is that what happened"
"... I remember. I... Farnese... Farnese Forneus... That day, I was attacked with Spica, and I..."
Cherry blossoms spin their words as if to confirm their memories.
I got an idea why the cherry blossoms were in Echen. You've probably unconsciously woken up to unattributed magic out of fear of being attacked. "Teleport" is probably metamorphotic magic as the word stands. So it moved to Echen, and it fell into the river. Did the horns disappear temporarily due to the drain of magic?
"My memory... are you back?
The dreaded Mr. Spica speaks to the cherry blossoms.
"It's still blurry...... I get it. About Spica, about your mother. I remember. A lot of things."
"Dear Farne..."
Mr. Spica bursts into tears. The cherry blossom I saw laughed small, but I could see her trembling a little.
"Cherry blossoms...... are you a little scared?
"Mm... a little... I didn't want to remember where they slaughtered me, because"
She laughed with a slightly blue face. I can't help it. Because it clearly revived the memory of the moment when I was about to be killed. Even if it's not amnesia, it's a memory you want to forget.
"It's okay. I'll bust him from one end if he hurts about the cherry blossoms. Don't be scared anymore."
I stroke such a cherry blossom head and tell him to feel safe. Maybe it's not that easy to wipe trauma, but I'd like to do something for you.
"Mmm...... A king would be relieved..."
A smiling cherry blossom hugs me.
Oh, you know, Mr. Cherry Blossom? You know, when that happens, I'd appreciate it if you could refrain because the spica in front of me comes at me with an indescribable face...
Ha! I feel my gaze!
Buh, and looking at the door of the room, from a slightly open gap, the girl's face was eight, lined vertically. Hii! What a totem pole!?
"Ninth...?
My fiancées, Fiancé, who snap in solidarity. Hey, stop. Don't look me in the eye like that "ahhh..."
"" Teleport "is a magic that is difficult to handle among metastatic magic. Honestly, I think" Gate "would be more user-friendly."
Lene explains it to me over a cup of tea.
"How hard is it to get here?
"First of all, I think of the" location "where it moves when it's a" gate, "but the" teleport "has to know the" direction "and" distance "of the movement. If there's another object at the destination, it can't be moved, and basically only the operator is eligible. If we hold hands, we can move at the same time, but at best the two of us can."
"Then when cherry blossoms transfer to Echen..."
"Direction" is bullshit, "distance" might have jumped until the magic ran out. Good for you, not directly above the ocean or anything. "
Well, that could have happened. There are several sea and volcanic craters, bottomless marshes, and dangerous places. If you don't know exactly the distance and direction, could you jump into such a place?
"On the contrary," Teleport "might be more user-friendly. You don't have to creep around like a" gate, "so you can move around in an instant. Can't it be used as a means of surprise or attack?
I see. It's "Momentary Travel". I mean, maybe the way you use it is the way you use it.
Want to give it a try?
"Teleport"
Transfer from the top of the chair to the corner of the room. Oh, you're not half uncomfortable because your vision suddenly changes. This is going to be hard to use for combat unless you get used to it. There is no particular burden on the body. Is it possible to use it continuously?
"... Still a mess, our husband is. I'm used to it."
Leanne sighs at me for trying to move "Teleport" lightly and instantly. No, we're used to reacting like that, too.
"Cherry blossoms...... Farne, can you use them?" Teleport ""
"Cherry blossoms are fine. I probably can't right now because I don't know how to use magic."
Cherry blossoms answer Linze's question. Right, cherry blossoms don't know how to use magic themselves? Sounds like you were able to use it because you were selflessly obsessed when you were attacked. Accidental activation saved lives. I think if I practice a little, I'll be able to use it soon.
"You just woke up with no attribute magic, you can't grasp the senses well. Fail even if activated in a mood, or succeed if activated appropriately. One of these days, I'm gonna get something like a trick."
He pinches his mouth as Else pinches the cookies. Apparently, she struggled pretty hard until she turned it into a "boost" too.
"So, what are you going to do? Is Sakura going back to Xenoas?
Lou has poked at the core. That's right. In the end, it depends on how you feel about cherry blossoms, but somehow you're a princess of Zenoas, even though you're a common son. And you're also the heir to the throne? I don't think I'd find out if I kept my mouth shut.
Either way, you should go see your mother.
"... I'd rather live in this country than stay in Xenoas. If you can, go with your mother and Spica."
"Wow, I also want to work as a knight in this country as always with Master Farne. My brother will inherit my home anyway, and there's nothing wrong with it!
Mr. Spica rises to the words of the cherry blossom and shows his will.
Nevertheless, I think I need to get through. At least I'll have to explain it to Mr. Spica's parents. His Majesty the Demon King... what do you think? If you're not married, don't you need permission to take your cherry blossom mother?
And then... you get caught up in Euron's assassin or something.
Probably, though. I think the Euron side made a deal with someone. The deal is the assassination of the cherry blossoms. I guess I gave something to the Euron side instead. I don't know if that's money or information. Otherwise, I don't know what Euron means to move. However, Zenoas is not supposed to do business with other countries. It's a clandestine state.
In that case, the man who tried to kill the cherry blossoms would be the one on Xenoas' side, who is also in quite a position.
The most suspicious thing is that when cherry blossoms are recognized as the princess of Zenoas, the chair of the demon king is far away, the first prince, the second prince...
"Cherry blossoms don't want to inherit the Demon King, do they?
"None. I don't care if the heavens and the earth flip."
If I make a clear claim over there, I guess I won't be aiming anymore. No, is it dangerous the other way around? It might be safer if I decided to stay dead. The princes don't know anything, and it's possible that the proximity around them moved on their own.
"Either way, Zenoas... or you need to go to Cherry Blossom Mother. I mean, to Mr. Spica's home, to the Frennel house."
"Right. I wonder if it would be a good idea to discuss this with Fiana first."
This is what Mr. Spica is saying, and do you want to go see your cherry blossom mother just now?
The members ask me and Sakura, Mr. Spica, to come about Amber as a liaison.
Mr. Spica was given the memory of his parents' home in King Zenoas' capital and opened the "gate".
First Mr. Spica creeps through the "gate," then transfers with me and Cherry Blossom, Amber at once.
Through the "gate," that's the entrance hall to the mansion, and this is Mr. Spica's home, the Frennel family. It may not be a good idea to see the cherry blossoms, so I moved directly to the mansion.
Large paintings are adorned above the front stairs where the red carpet stretches. There are three boys and one girl in a chair between a man and a woman. I think it's a family portrait. When that happens, is that girl Mr. Spica? It does have a shadow.
"I miss it...... I remember. I lived here."
Cherry blossoms crumble small. You're getting clear memories. Memories clearly seem to be reviving.
Suddenly, cherry blossoms looking around rushed out the hallway to the right hand side with all their might.
"Ah, Master Farne!?
Mr. Spica rushes to follow it. Me and Amber don't know, but we ran out anyway.
A young maid with a passing laundry cage stood round her eyes as she ran down the hallway.
"Huh, Master Farne!? And, lady!? Huh!? Huh!?
Ignoring the surprised maid, cherry blossoms stopped in front of a room and opened the door vigorously.
As we caught up and peered into the room over the cherry shoulder, one woman woke up on a large bed placed there in front of a white curtain with soft light plunging in, looking at this one. Around 30 years old? Bright white hair and a blue-white face give the impression of flaking. Maybe this guy...
"Fall, sir...?
"Oh, my... Mother!
Cherry blossoms ran straight to her mother and jumped into her chest. Blurring and crying, he hugs his mother.
"Oh no... are you sure it's Farne? Live... really live...!
"Mother......!
"Dear Fiana, That person really is Master Farne. He was alive. Lord Brunhild saved us here."
Hearing Mr. Spica's voice, she was sure her daughter was really back, and her mother hugged her daughter, too, in tears.
My daughter, who I thought was dead, returned. I guess the joy is immeasurable. Am I wrong to interrupt?
We decided to keep an eye on them for a while. [M]
"So, who are you?
I was framed for being watched by a maid of honor. [M] I don't know.
