Lead the other world.

"I'm just..."

Takumi took Sola, who was chatting in her room, to the front door in the evening as she heard a walnut voice that seemed unusual and cheerful.

"Mr. Walnut, Shino, welcome back!

"I'm home, Sola."

"Mmm...... I'm..."

In Takumi's eyes, who are still a little behind Sola,

Walnut and Shino had each smiled at Sola, but they just seemed to be laughing forcibly somewhere.

"Is something wrong?

Walnut looked strange and nodded silently.

"I'll talk to you in the living room. Can you get me some citrus too?

Whoa, whoa.

Takumi, Citrus and Sola were then to ask what had happened from the walnuts.

"Aoi told me at Yamato Adventurer's Guild... Last night, the fifth of the missing. They found Mr. Ledda's body."

Yes, there have been unexplained missing persons in Yamato over the past few weeks. Four before the Yamato Toyota Festival and two later went missing. And after the Yamato Toyota Festival, missing persons had been continuously discovered. As a corpse.

"... well. Do you have any more details?

"Yeah, the bodies were found on less popular seaside rocks, and they were in the same condition again."

A total of five bodies were found last night. Every corpse was equally devoid of magic. Normally there will remain a little magic in that body, even if it dies, and magic will remain for at least a month. But there was no magic left at all, as if it had been sucked away by something from the body found.

And one more thing. Those who went missing had something in common. They are all adventurers.

"Tomorrow at noon, Yamato's adventurers were summoned as an emergency. We're not leaving Sola alone in the house, so we're gonna go with five of us."

"Mmm...... One more person to act... no"

"Oh, yeah. Shall I refrain from walking at night?"

Takumi suggested so with such a sober gesture, but was rather upset inside.

(Leda's dead... or...)

Takumi was one of the few friends in this world who had many conversations with Leda when she was in Astrea. And it was the first time I had come to this world that someone I knew had died.

And the four people around Takumi had noticed that Takumi was imposing and pretending calmly. I would be willing to talk about it myself pretending to be calm, but Takumi's voice seemed to have no usual hegemony and sadness.

"Takumi... I'm hungry..."

The four of them looked a little surprised and suddenly saw Shino's face squealing like that.

"Together... make something...?

"Oh, I'll help too!

Walnut, who was speaking with a serious look, loosened his mouth a little and turned toward Takumi.

"Ah, I'm hungry, too, so please!

"Yeah, yeah. Make lots of them, brother!

Takumi accidentally laughed bitterly when she said that the citrus vegetables were also followed by walnuts.

(Ha... you got me worried... And don't everyone find out right away if you fix it weird...)

"Okay, make it! So, Shino and Sola can help, too?

"Mmm...... Leave it to me."

"Yeah!"

That's how the three got up and headed for the kitchen. Then the leftover citrus and walnuts smiled slightly at each other when they looked at each other.
