Kono Sekai ga Game da to, Ore dake ga Shitte Iru

In the room for just the two of us, we spent quite a bit of time.

It just doesn't make sense that I've been stuck on boulders for hours.

"... it's time to go"

When I said it, the apple looked just a little lonely, but he honestly nodded.

And

"... soma"

With an anxious voice, he gives me his hands on a snack.

It took me awhile to realize that meant I wanted you to hold my hand.

As far as I can tell, apples never made these demands from themselves.

But maybe what happened today just changed the apple a little bit.

"... ah, oh. Let's go together."

When I held that hand, the apple nodded with a slightly angry face.

"Let's go."

Declare that to be the case, use the recovered key to open the door, make sure to pull the apple's hand and go outside the door.

There's only so much time left for me to pull the apple off like this.

Until then, at least don't let go of this hand as long as you can, as Apple wants, I...

"- Are you finally out"

"Uh-oh!!

When I suddenly heard a voice from next door, I jumped at the speed of the light and threw out my apple's hand.

"Hey, what is it? Mitsuki."

"Who the hell did you think it was? He seemed surprised."

"Yes, no. Nothing. I wasn't assuming someone specific."

While I answered, for some reason, the figure of a blonde woman holding a knife crossed my brain only for a moment.

"Why is Mitsuki here more than that?

When I asked, Mitsuki knocked him over to the side like a cat with a broken ear.

"I saw you move in the Seeker's ring, so I picked you up."

"Oh, you did"

Too cheesy for a lot of things anyway.

"I wasn't worried, but it seemed to work out when it looked like it.

... they both look good. "

I reminded Mitsuki of the first thing I had to do.

When I told him that I was going to come back to this world again after I had returned to the original world, Mitsuki still replied with a calm voice.

"... Really? No, it's always about you working things out in a diagonal way.

I expected you to give such an answer. "

"Oh, yeah, is that...?

As far as I'm concerned, I just have to answer like that.

"I'm sorry I couldn't surprise you. But even if it looks like this, I'm happy."

"Yes, no... I'm glad you're here. You can see that."

"Really? Good for you."

Only to the cool Mitsuki words, I nodded to hide my tight face and said, "Yikes hoo hoo! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!" Patapata Bunn also slipped his gaze subtly from the cat ear, which was shaken with great momentum.

"Even Mr. Ringo's, apparently, lost his way"

"... n"

Apple nodded toward Mitsuki, holding my hand from herself all the way away.

"Ri, apple?

I was surprised, then I accidentally missed Mitsuki's reaction, but Mitsuki just laughed bitterly.

"I don't think you mind. Rather, it would be unnatural to care too much about that extent.

It's not like we're brothers or sisters, so that's it. "

"... hmm?

Apples hang their necks over Mitsuki's mysterious words and deeds.

No, yeah.

Is it Mitsuki who obviously cares too much, or was that misunderstanding, that damaging?

"That's right. There are three people in the corner, so why don't you align them?

Mitsuki speaks those words and reaches for his chest.

I was thrilled to see what would start for a moment, but what Mitsuki took out was a pocket watch, a chronos watch I gave away.

"... soma too"

When I looked sideways at my hurrying voice, the apple also had its own chronos watch in its hand.

Apparently, I was the only one who didn't understand by the word alle.

When I take out my watch in advance, I give it to you both.

One scratched watch crashed in three, making a pleasant noise with the cuttlefish.

Mitsuki opens her mouth as she stares at it with a gentle eye.

"When you're about to get frustrated, listen to this clock.

Even if I stay away, my heart is beside you. "

"Mitsu, ki......"

I couldn't help but hold my breath when I was about to burst into tears.

Once, there was no iron skin there like you were not interested in anything but combat and you were throwing it away out of interest in people.

Mitsuki has a warmer, more humane look than anyone else and squeezes the words.

"And I can't just be content to be beside my heart, so I'm physically beside you by all means."

"... Huh?

When I looked at Mitsuki in surprise, the cat ears, which should have had a warm, human look until just now, were shaking with pleasure.

"Did you think I was the kind of person who just waited for you to come home?

I've also finished saying goodbye to my father and close opponents, and I've already organized my neighborhood.

Let's see if we can get back to your world together first. "

"Hey, hey, Mitsuki...?

To a sudden confession, my head can't catch up.

Mitsuki got confused and stepped on the bar. When I took my arm, I held it in my arms.

"Ya, not a straw... what do you mean by that..."

"... soma, iko"

Then, in a slightly angry tone, Ringo says, I get pulled.

"Huh? Hey this, huh...?

I lost track of the translation and looked at me looking back and forth between the apple and the mite, and the mite with her arms in her arms laughed dull.

"Mr. Ringo!

"Damn, it's finally out!

Put your arms on for now... I asked you to stop holding me, and when we headed to the dining room with Mitsuki's guide, there was still plenty of company there except for Maki, who remained stuffed in the castle.

I feel a little guilty for making you wait more than you need to, but I don't regret it.

"Guys, listen up"

Instead, I don't mean, but I talk about my resolve in front of everyone once again.

I took Maki back to the original world, and then again, I declared that I would definitely come back to this world.

My colleagues reacted differently.

Suthern said, "Hmm! Naturally!" he said, turning against his chest.

Ena said, "Yes! Yes!!" he nodded firmly as he was thrilled.

Leila said, "Wow, me, because I've been waiting! ♪ And hold my hand. ♪

Mitsuki just smiled quietly.

And when that aftertaste subsides, the apple comes forward.

"... sorry"

Standing in front of Suthern in an unmistakable foothold, he offered a tablet.

Suthern, however, shook his head before the tablet offered.

"Give this to Soma."

"... to me?

That's true, only me and Mayuki can activate the tablet, but it was surprising that Suthern would let go of the tablet.

"Okay. Well, I'll keep it for now, when it's night..."

"No. Let's postpone viewing the video records."

"Deferred?"

In unexpected words, I turn my gaze unexpectedly.

When I looked around, they all looked surprised.

"I don't mind that. How long till we postpone?

Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?

As I asked, Sutherne said this lightly, thinking that I would have to reschedule by that.

"You don't know that."

"I don't know..."

Confused by the throwing words of Southern, who should have been looking forward to the most final story.

But still, Southern's voice was serious everywhere.

"I don't know how long it'll be, it's just -"

Seriously, look me straight in the eye while over the mask, and here's what I said.

- Until you come back to this world again.

Totally, unintentionally.

For a moment, I didn't know what Suthern was going to say.

Keeping the tablet until I come back to this world means I can't use this tablet until then.

I mean, if I don't get back into this world, Suthern won't be able to see the final story of the Evil God War forever.

"Okay, you know what, Southern? You were so excited to see the video recording. Yet..."

"That's a stupid question. Or no way, you're not sure you're coming back to this world?

"... no. I will definitely come back to this world."

When I answered clearly, Suthern snorted again.

"Hmm! Then nothing's wrong. I'm just saying it's going to take longer to imagine and enjoy the final story.

... Well, what is it? I believe you, too. "

My chest became unconsciously hot with words added with a small voice.

"Oh, don't look at me like that! And, anyway, even though I stopped along the way, the promise is a promise.

I'm going out with what you call a magic mastery! Or, thank you!

"... oh. Thank you, Southern."

"Heh, heh!

When I honestly threw in my words of gratitude, this time it was really over the tolerance of lightness, and Suthern turned that way and stopped saying anything.

"Ah! But, maybe, Mr. Soma, if you got that magic, you'd already go home?

Instead, Ena made a hurried voice and said, "Oh, yeah! We haven't!!" and Layla got the attention by mouthing strange things, but of course that's worrying.

"No way. I told Leila, but I won't be home that soon.

I don't even know if I can really go home, and I have to experiment a little bit for that.

... and there are still things left to do in this world. "

"What did you leave behind?

You learned to be interested in the last word I added to twinkle, Mitsuki stood ear to ear.

"Oh. While I was talking to Apple, I thought about it, too.

That's when I thought.

There's something I really want to do in this world. "

I feel sorry for the boulder when I think of Suthern, who wanted to be reunited with me until he pushed and killed what he wanted to do.

Just still.

I knew this was all I could give up.

"I have to go to the western marshes before I can get back to the original world.

I can't go back to the world without worrying about it. "

"The western swamp? No way......!?

A gentle nod to Mitsuki, who seemed to have guessed something.

Yes, the western marshes are a game-unimplemented zone.

An undeveloped land where the body of the Evil God is sealed and where more demons than the Demon King's Castle dwell.

"No way. I'm going to the western swamp..."

That's what's left of me.

Something I'll never have to do back in this world.

I mean......

"- Looking for monsters who weren't in the game, hunting, hunting and hunting!!

The moment I proclaimed it, everyone, including Mitsuki, gave a subtle look that felt like "Ah, yes".

In the meantime, the word "... naked", which the apple snapped from behind, stuck a gutter in his chest for some reason.
