Monster no Goshujin-sama

37

- The sound of a knock woke me up.

Did I get tired of traveling?

Apparently, he was napping.

"Takahiro!"

As he was groaning obscure on the bed, he was called by name.

The noise of the knocks continues as they are spaced apart.

I woke up, holding my head down.

Feel of a tight sheet under your poked hand beside your body.

The extra smell on the trip.

There's no one else in the unfamiliar room in sight.

……

My God, I felt uncomfortable.

but anyway, they're calling it now.

I'll think about it later.

"Takahiro? Are you asleep?

"... oh. I'm sorry. I'm coming."

Therefore, we headed to the entrance and exit of the room.

……

There was a wooden door with a partial opening and a season.

The door key is closed - I turned the thumb-turn lock and opened the door.

"It's late."

"Bad"

My brother stood with a grumpy face.

"You, I thought you were going to the bath. What happened to the keys?

"My mother has it. I'm not out of the bath yet."

"Oh, it's a long time."

"My dad asked me to get my wallet."

"Wallet? Was it somewhere...?

Talking, I went back inside the room.

The Pension room visited on this extended vacation is spacious for families.

Since April, I've been a junior high school student, and I'll be busy taking exams in perspective, so before that...... and it was the place my traveling parents brought me.

The atmosphere is good, put it in a hot spring, and it seems to be a popular inn.

As a family memorabilia, I can say it's not a bad choice.

I myself enjoyed it enough because I prefer to visit places I don't know.

"That's right. Doesn't Takahiro take a bath?

I was just searching for my wallet, and my brother invited me to a bath.

"Right."

When I had dinner, I got tired or sleepy, and I was slowing down in my room, but while I was napping, I was out of extra drowsiness.

I sweated before I had dinner, but this kind of thing is for every event.

Again, it's not bad to take a bath with my brother.

I left the room side by side with my brother.

Through the hallway window, I could see the view of the mountain.

The lighting's orange warm light is lit up with snow.

It was a sight that made me feel strange, somewhere in my chest.

"There are definitely three baths here. You turned it all around?

"Mmm, no. We haven't had an open-air bath yet."

"You want to go?

"It's cold.... There was a bath with hot water falling from above like a waterfall."

"Oh. Well, let's go that way"

We walked down the hall talking.

My brother will be attending junior high school starting next year.

About popular games and comics.

Souvenir thing.

There was as much to talk about.

It wasn't enough to talk about how much.

... In reality, he can't talk about what's going on, so it might have been natural not to run out of talk.

How much would I have walked?

If you noticed, it was dark around.

I can't even see the orange lights outside the window anymore.

So, this is the dream, out of time...... I've repeated it several times before, I realized it was a forever goodbye.

- The sound of a knock woke me up.

"Oh. Sir, are you awake?

Salvia, sitting right next to me sleeping, calls out.

Apparently, he stayed beside me while I slept.

"Ah...... yeah"

The reply turned out to be a faint little one.

As you wander, the feel of the coarse fabric of your eyes beneath your body rubs against your hands and feet.

They were sleeping pretty deep.

I had a sensation that I didn't have enough blood on my head and my temples were numb with pain.

"Is that it? Takahiro, are you sleeping?

I pinched one door and heard a creaking Robbie.

"Sorry, Salvia... will you come out"

"Yes, sir."

I don't feel like shouting out loud and leave Salvia to respond.

"Yes. Go ahead."

Listening to Salvia's voice, I laid my hands on a painful temple.

……

I felt like this had happened before.

But I couldn't remember.

The visibility was only a visibility.

For once, really, there may have been something similar before, but at least, there were no verses that came to mind.

Beautiful and refreshing.

One of what?

... Thus it has been occasional to be imprisoned by an unidentified vestigial sense of vision.

Each time, I learned a unique disgust for something I can't remember.

Nevertheless, it's not something I can think of and figure out.

While holding my aching head, I woke up.

"... what, guys"

Coming were four: Lily, Rose, Kato and Robbia.

Everyone had a strange face.

In it, Lily stepped forward and stood in front of me sitting in bed.

... No, it's not.

She in front of me, she wasn't Lily.

Her appearance and waist were subtly different from Lily's.

"Mashima kun"

"... Mr. Mizushima?

Surprise wasn't that big.

Because I had memories of the Misty Inn.

So the question was rather, this is how she came out.

Organized her feelings and decided to come out, she had a look too tenacious.

"Remember that observation of the starry sky that was there at the beginning of your freshman year?

With a sincerely strained, faceless look, Mr. Mizushima asked.

"What are you talking about?

While I frowned at the surprise, I replied without guidance.

Without knowing that that reaction is an eloquent response.

And I have been informed of the truth.

"Memory problems…?"

After listening, I nodded one thing.

After a while, maybe everyone was expecting me to argue here.

There was such air.

Unfortunately, I was unlikely to live up to that expectation.

Sure, because, as Mizushima said, I didn't remember any events in my freshman year at high school.

Poop, it was lost.

So much so that you don't even notice the fact of loss because it's gone too clean.

"You're not too surprised, are you?

Seeing my reaction, Mr. Mizushima looked surprised.

"Hey, did you notice?

"No."

I shook Kabuli.

"Quite a shock... I think. However, I was prepared to say that it wouldn't be strange if that happened."

It wasn't that I wasn't shocked by the facts I was informed, but I didn't have to put the upset on the table.

It may also be said that the impact was small enough to be processed on the inside….

"I guess it would have been nice if Silan had told me about the anomaly beforehand. And then, yeah. It may be that I don't really feel it."

I turned to my inner consciousness.

"And... right. Sometimes I don't think it's gonna be that bad."

"What does that mean?

Rose asks.

"If your husband is losing his memory, that is a liberal matter. We must work out measures as soon as possible. Otherwise, any day..."

I can't seem to say it, once, clogs the words.

"... at any rate, you don't even know who you are anymore?

"Don't worry. It's not."

When I assured her, Rose looked surprised.

Instead, Mr. Mizushima opened his mouth.

"How can you say all that?

"Essentially, because the power of our transferees is based on 'wishes'"

……

Explain to Mizushima, who is not comfortable.

"You can assume that, at the very least, the 'wish' part is guaranteed, beyond being a 'power' based on 'wish'. In fact, even Malvina's husband, 'lost his human senses to be a dragon', was not in the way of 'living with a dragon'. Well, naturally. If that happens, it's the end of the line."

"... it may be so"

"Then I can tell you the same thing. My power is to live with the lilies. There, no obstruction."

I shrugged my shoulders gently.

"Well, such reasoning is as a reason, after all, because this is my ability. The key thing is, I know for myself."

Maybe, unconsciously, I knew my condition.

Even now that I was informed of the facts, I was more convinced than surprised.

I guess some of the reasons you can stay calm like this are around.

"As Silan pointed out, I guess my soul's shapes have definitely changed. The part about me as a human being has been pretty diminished. As a result, its functionality has also been lost... because I can't remember anymore, I'm sure that's what's going on"

I am no longer a pure human being.

Now, I can tell you you're still human, but how long has that been going on too?

As Shiran said, Takahiro Mashima has turned into a monster.

I'm not sure what percentage of myself I'll hit...

For example, if I remember when I was purely human is the part where the soul keeps its cage as a human being, it would make sense that if that were gone, my memory would also be lost again.

That dark strange world.

The statue of itself, which no longer retains the human snail, must have implied such facts.

"... but then, the situation is not so serious"

To change the darkened air, I cared for a bright voice.

"The part that's already changed, it can't change any more. After I've been flown into this world, and I've changed, and gained this ability... it won't affect my memory after meeting Lily and the others."

That doesn't interfere with being with Lily and the others.

No matter how long it's gone.

No matter how much you lose.

For me now, only the most important things are not lost.

Then there's nothing wrong with it.

I can tell you that.

... If you don't say it, you have to.

I smiled in an attempt to reassure everyone.

"So, really, I'm fine..."

"What are you talking about!

But the words I was about to say were blocked by unexpected voices.

"That would mean I would lose my memories in my senior's original world!?

It was Kato who shouted.

As such, it was the first time she yelled at me, so I, for a moment, hardened.

In the meantime, Kato, who slowly approached me, stuffed me in the chest.

Grab around the belly of my clothes, she says.

"For seniors, that shouldn't be something that doesn't matter!

My moist, reddish eyes looked up at me.

Shivering voices, overwhelmed, creep and distort.

"Wouldn't that be the kind of thing you could tell me to be nothing...?

"... oh. Right."

I was convinced when I saw a puffy grain and a beautiful tear spill.

"You were telling Kato about the other world..."

When I was in the original world, it was Kato, who was nobody else, who I talked to most about.

We wanted each other to talk to sort out our minds about our own predicament that we would never be able to return to the original world again.

The opponent could not have been other than her, who was in the same situation.

I used to talk about my family.

I also told him about the place I wanted to go someday.

I've heard of future dreams, and I've told a lot of other stories.

I remember Kato listening to me, strangely happy as to why.

That's why I knew exactly how important it was to me.

"There's got to be something. There's a way to recover lost memories... something..."

The voices withered gradually.

She must have known from the beginning.

That it's not that easy to find such a miracle-like handstand.

Reality is always cruel.

Ever, and I'm sure I will.

Grabbing my clothes, the squeezed girl's hand was shaking.

I was mourning my helplessness.

But that's a mistake.

Because it is those thoughts of hers that give me the power to resist this cruel reality, nothing more than one important thing.

"Thank you, Kato."

I offered my sincere thanks to the girl who cried thinking of herself.

I will untie her hands as gently as I can, firmly gripped to hurt myself.

And I shook his hand, and told him,

"But that's okay. Because this is the way I decided to go."

I looked back at everyone on the spot.

I thought it was a good opportunity.

You should declare it here.

Things to come.

"Guys. Listen to me."

I opened my mouth.
