Monster no Goshujin-sama

Seven.

I am sinking deep.

Sink deep - but not breathless.

It's not even dark.

Feel the warm light.

I opened my eyes.

"... oh"

My voice leaked unexpectedly.

Because there was a terrible, nostalgic landscape in front of me.

A flock of flanked apartments.

A car parked on the shoulder of a street.

At the end of the downhill runs a wide national highway, beyond which residential areas are spread.

Is the good smell of tickling the tip of your nose from the little fixer across the road?

I miss him so much - so I spared him realizing it right away.

"... what, a dream"

What was spreading in front of me was the town I lived in before I moved to another world.

But the landscape was not intact in memory.

There was nothing I could do about it. I felt uncomfortable.

Looking far away, the scene was unnaturally interrupted.

Whether it was day or night, the sky was painted black, but the wonder and vision were good.

For one thing, there were no people, and I didn't see any cars driving down the national highway.

In the first place, I am currently staying in Akel, one of the five northern regions, and I should be waiting for the day when the Iino's headed back to the Imperial City.

It's not like I don't feel like going back into this world, but I knew it wouldn't come true.

So this is the product of a dream.

Incomplete to be a dream - a dream made it possible to see it again, a nostalgic home.

I thought so, and I frowned.

"... what, this?

Looked down ahead.

Because there was a big crack running in my body.

Big cracks run all over your body around your left arm, and it's harder to find places that haven't led to fine cracks.

Not only that, but the blue and white lights were visible in the double reflection.

It looked familiar.

It was who I was, in the world of lightning, which I had visited several times.

"... Isn't that just a dream?

But if this is the world of lightning, it's a little weird.

That world I know should have just been a place where the darkness just couldn't be foreseen.

Not here.

Most likely, I'm just seeing myself in the world of lightning in my dreams...

I don't know what to say.

Anyway, will you try to figure out the situation first?

Walk around and you might find out something.

With that in mind, I tried to step forward.

As soon as I got there, my vision fell.

"Whoa!?

My stepped right foot didn't support my weight.

The unusual sensation seemed to have stepped through something soft - or the foot itself had melted.

I try to get myself in shape, but my left leg doesn't move well either.

This one was as if it had also become the leg of a bloodless doll.

My body moved reflexively.

Try to poke your hand at the ground.

But just before that, what popped up supported my body.

It was a spider's leg standing on an asphalt.

"... what?

At the same time, a crack ran on the ground of the asphalt.

The crack spread and quickly cracked into everything in the world.

Apartments, passenger cars on the shoulders, and houses in sprawling residential areas.

On the contrary, even this space itself is no exception.

Everything cracks and smashes and scatters.

"... ugh!

A nostalgic and warm world breaks.

I can't even scream.

Finally, even I myself smashed and scattered - and when I realized, everything was back to normal.

"... Huh?

There was a loud voice.

I took a step forward without a thing, and I was making a move.

For a moment, I can't swallow the situation.

I look around for a moment.

As irrational as it even felt, the world kept its original tranquillity.

Or maybe that's what dreams are for.

The nostalgic world had never collapsed, and the mutations that were supposed to have happened to the body had disappeared.

On the contrary, the body with the cracks and the lights were invisible.

I set myself up for the next anomaly, but no further change took place.

After a while, when I decided there was nothing more, I slowly pulled my strength out of my body.

"... what was it, now?

It was a daydream event.

It's a strange story to dream in a dream, but all I could explain was yes.

Even what really happened was becoming obscure no longer.

Was it my fault?

I don't know, I've been thinking about that.

If so, that's good to hear.

Or I wouldn't mind if this were just a dream event.

...... but.

If this is not a dream...

"Gosh, Sama!

"Wow!?

That's how I got scared when I heard what I was thinking.

"Asalina!?

Some adorable haetrigtha-shaped head had a bit of a face in his sight.

"You were there too!

"Thermer"

Surprised, without worrying about how this one was, Asarina followed me in a good mood when she rang my pace.

It's not silly to hang out with a sweet girlfriend, but there is something about time and case.

"Hey, wait a minute. Asalina."

I caught Asalina trying to bite sweetly around her chin.

Ask her, who is strangely gnawing.

"Doesn't having Asarina mean this is a dream"

"Sama."

"What is this place?"

"Sama?"

"Don't you get it"

"Thermer"

He doesn't know.

"Right. Then there's no choice."

"Sa 'arma"

Well, isn't it that easy?

I scratched my head as I was sweetbitten by Asalina, who was free.

"Even so, if Asarina is here, I don't think it's weird that everyone else is here."

Nevertheless, there is still no appearance of a person within sight.

The path, which is a connection with the family, is also......

"... no. No, I don't think so."

"Sama."

Strangely enough, I could feel the presence of the Lillies over the pass.

I'm right around the corner.

But he doesn't.

It's me and Asalina. And......

"Is there anyone else?

"Summer"

"You want me to follow you?

Asalina stretched out her body for a long time, showing a certain direction.

I can't help being like this.

I walked out.

"Sama!"

As Asarina points out, we turn and walk down the road.

Is it a coincidence that the road was a high school road to school?

Sometimes it's a familiar path, and you're not lost in walking.

I kind of felt like I was even walking a dog.

"Speaking of which, did Asarina see that earlier?

"Sama?"

"It's like the world collapses in an instant... oh, no. If you don't know, fine."

"Sama!"

While we interact like this, Asarina takes us on the road to high school in a good mood.

Along the way, there was her.

"Oh. Sir."

Salvia turned this way, shaking her dark golden brown hair.

I don't know what you're doing, I'm on the side of the road.

It's been a long time since I've seen my face because I've never come out of this fight with Uncle Neighborhood.

As I approached her, she stood up and waited for her arrival.

A soft grin was directed at me, then my gaze shifted to Asalina.

"Asalina. You brought my husband here?

"Sama! Sama!

"All right, all right. Good boy."

Salvia gently touched Asalina, who wobbled well.

My drooling eyes pointed this way.

"Nevertheless, I didn't expect to meet my husband here."

"Me too. I mean, what is this place?

Ask as you look around.

Salvia tilted her neck when she put her hand on her cheek with a slight trick.

"Whatever they say. Don't you rather know your husband better?

"Speaking of knowing, I know. This is my world."

Look around and shake your head.

"Just not in itself"

"Right. I know you've noticed, but this is what my husband used to call the world of lightning."

"After all, is it"

It was well accepted because it was in line with my previous sense of reality.

To my mind, when I was resisting Travis, who turned it into a 'spiritual drug', only Salvia and Asarina could interfere with me in the world of lightning.

I guess these two are the only ones here right now, because this is the world of lightning.

Though I was satisfied with that part, I frowned.

"But this is not the world of lightning I know."

A dark world ahead of a deep sink.

A place unrecognized by people.

That's the impression I have of the world of lightning.

But this is completely different.

"You mean it's changed"

For what does that mean?

When I was surprised, Salvia changed her expression when she heard it.

"It's more about evolution than evolution."

The voice sounded faintly reprehensible.

"I can rephrase that I've moved on to the next stage... but I'm sure this transformation of the world has something to do with my husband's abilities"

"... uh"

This is a bad one.

It was too late when I realized that.

Obviously, because Salvia's gaze was stuck.

"Even your husband, you know that, right?

I'm angry, it said on that face.

"The last time 'that' was decisive. You've really reached for the rinse to break 'The Psychotropic Drug' Travis. Once we move on, we can't go back."

As Salvia approached him one step closer, he tried to peek into my face.

"Past wishes lose themselves. Because I was before I became a family member, I have not actually seen it, but I have heard the story of Jun Takaya, the" Mad Beast "who grabbed Mr. Lily before. For I have lived a long time, and I know a little about other examples. The power of you transferees brings ruin at times. My husband is no exception. You know that."

Words to blame are superimposed.

Alternatively, it might have felt like a trivial novel.

"Then I'll have to take care of myself more. You want to live in peace with Lily and the others? Just a few more moments, and if the next meeting goes well, I can get the future my husband wants. And before it does, it's the end of the line."

"Right."

I have accepted everything that is said.

And I went on.

"Thanks"

……

"Thank you for scolding me."

That was something I couldn't help.

At that time, I couldn't rescue Rose besides oh yes.

No matter how many times I go to the same scene, I will make the same choice.

There's nothing to be ashamed of.

... but that's it.

That was never a good thing.

That's true again.

Don't hesitate if you need to, but it's not something you can rely on cheaply.

Don't get me wrong there.

If anyone scolds me like this, I will never make a mistake.

"... Not at all anymore, sir"

Salvia looked indescribable.

I thought so, I came one step closer to this one.

I wonder what it is - while I did that, I was hugged from the front.

……

Surprisingly, I hardened.

The embrace wasn't between lovers. It just included dearness.

I was stroked by the pong and the back of my head.

Asalina, who was watching beside me, said, "Summer?" He rang.

"Pretty girl. Naughty kids. I want to be there for you because I can show you all the way."

"... Um, Salvia? I'm a little embarrassed to be treated like a child."

When I protested for a moment, Salvia seemed to laugh.

The vibration I laughed at passed on to you as warm and soft as a sun.

"Give it to me, my child. No one lives in this world."

"That may be true."

Perhaps there is no objection to being told that it is the closest to life in this world.

I had no choice but to be treated like a child for the most part.

"Yeah, that's right. They're all cute kids, including your husband."

Salvia said lovingly and put a little effort into her arms holding me tight.

The embrace lasted for a while.

Eventually she was satisfied or loosened the force of the arm that turned to her body.

"Well. Shall I leave this much for your sermon? My husband seems to know."

That's how I let myself go.

And what a shame I sighed.

"Oh, that sounds like time."

That's what her voice was, a little ambiguous.

My consciousness was becoming distant.

I'm almost awake.

"Too bad. Because we can be here alone. Though I was hoping to show you around your husband's world for a moment."

"Summer"

"Right. See you next time. If I get a chance like this, I'll ask for it."

Salvia put her hands together in front of her chest.

I gave her a snort of horrible pleasure.

"Oh, right. One day, I'm sure..."

Even while doing so, consciousness fades more and more.

There was a feeling of surfacing.

Salvia waved flirtatiously.

"Bye, sir. But don't let the girl you like grieve you and the girl you like."

"I know."

If you want to give up anything, it's just the end.

I nodded - and hooked on Salvia's rhetoric.

I don't mind being the right girl.

But what does it mean to be a girl who likes me?

But before I could answer anything, consciousness had left the world.
