Monster no Goshujin-sama

Fifteen.

I fell asleep and was visiting this world again if I realized it.

In front of me, the towns that lived there until before they moved to different worlds are spreading.

This is not a dream, although it is something you sleep and see.

My inner world - it was a place that I thought was built as my abilities evolved.

"I felt like I was going to come back..."

All alone, exhale.

I didn't expect you to come on the day of your arrival in Imperial City.

The place was a familiar convenience store parking lot on the way to school.

There is no other appearance of people.

Does it feel like a continuation when I came before?

I don't know, I don't know.

I had not yet been able to give an answer to this phenomenon.

"Oh. Sir, you're here again"

And I heard a happy voice.

The fog of birth shaped a person's appearance.

"Salvia"

I've seen her before, so no wonder she shows up here.

"You've been here forever."

"Yes."

These days, Salvia hasn't had a face in the real world.

I walked over to her, laughing and answering.

"You're all alone here, aren't you?"

"That's not true. Asalina came here once in a while."

"Sama!"

Asalina jumped out of the back of my hand and rang well.

Apparently, without my knowledge, they were spending time in this world.

Salvia said with a smiling face, adding further.

"Besides, this world is just something I've never seen, something quite interesting"

With that said, she sat down on the spot and followed Asphalt's ground with her fingertips.

"I'm surprised. The ground in your husband's world is mostly made of stone."

"Uh, no. That's not true. It's just paved."

"Oh. Were you?

When I corrected the mistake, Salvia held back her licence shyly.

"I am clear. See, because it's more of a covered part."

"It's all over town. If we go more mountains, we'll be like the rest of the world. Haven't you gotten too far?

"... well, yeah"

Salvia answers a little ambiguous.

I felt like there was a beat in there to think about, but she was up before I pointed it out.

"My husband lived here."

I look around and say it in a tone of emotion somewhere.

For me, it's a familiar sight, even if it's nostalgic, but I guess not for her.

"Right. I used to go down this road every day to high school."

"High school?"

"High school. It's a school where people my age attend and take classes. You know what I mean?

"I know the school. Because it's in the human society of our world, and scholars who work there have come to the world of fog. Even so, I can't imagine what it's like."

Put your hand on your jaw, Salvia conceives.

"Must be amazing, something like this"

"I don't know what you're imagining, but maybe, no"

"Oh. So what's the place?

A smile can be directed at this one.

Apparently, he's interested.

I thought a little, then leaned my neck.

"... I don't feel like I can tell you well in words"

Salvia doesn't know anything about this world.

He seems to be looking around here, so even if he had, he wouldn't even know his name.

It is difficult to convey the scene in words to those opponents, and in the first place, there is not much need for it.

"More than that, if you're interested, why don't you go take a look? I'm gonna walk a little bit."

Hundreds of stories are not as good as they seem.

I usually went to school by bike, but it's not even a walk away.

"That's lovely."

Happily, Salvia joined hands in front of her chest.

"But I don't know."

'Cause we got time anyway.

I am asleep in reality.

I can't do anything.

There was no obstacle in guiding the school through something of a dream.

"Well, can you show me around? Hehe, look forward to it."

So I walked out with Salvia.

From here, there is a high school about half an hour's walk away.

We could have picked up the bike because it was a little distance away, but Salvia said it was a good walk.

I complied with that request.

There was nothing I couldn't do in time for class, and there was no particular reason to rush.

"It's rare to slow down like this with Salvia."

"If you ask me, yeah. Because I can't be on the surface very well."

For Salvia to appear in the real world, it will sooner or later consume the magic that is accumulating to build the different realms of 'Misty Inn'.

I couldn't go outside at any time, and the precious opportunity I had tended to use to respond to an emergency that came down to me.

"In that sense, this could have been a good opportunity."

"What do you mean?

"Because I have been helped only by Salvia and I have not been able to return it"

Salvia joined Asalina in helping me when she was attacked by 'Spiritual Medicine' Travis in the world of lightning before this still happened.

When I destroy Travis, he pulls me away from all that he wants.

In the first place, there were numerous occasions where there had never been anything we could have done without the magic 'Misty Inn' with the help of the contracted Salvia.

I was concerned that I had not been able to return anything from here.

"If Salvia would enjoy this opportunity at all, I'd love to."

"Yeah. I'll let you do that."

Salvia chuckled.

"But you don't have to worry. 'Cause I'm always fun."

"Huh?"

"My husband is making one mistake."

Salvia put her foot down.

When I looked back, too, with my feet closed, Salvia was smiling calmly.

"Because what you want is really very beautiful. I want to support you, I want to watch you, and if you're in trouble, I want to reach out. This" Misty Inn "is a magic that creates a different realm to make wishes come true... in the end, I guess that's the way it is"

She shrugged her shoulders when she said she had no choice, but she seemed less than full of her nature.

"That's why I enjoy being with my husband and Lily. I can't believe I don't have anything to give back....... oh. Besides, this is the first time for me."

Close your eyes and look like you remember something.

"I've really been wandering for years. In the meantime, we met a lot. But I am like a dream for a few days. I had to say goodbye to anyone of them right away."

Only once every few decades can Salvia show up in the world and show her strength.

That's just a few days, too.

If it was a magical phenomenon with no will, I guess there was still no problem.

But she woke up to her will.

Of course, she prefers to deal with others.

Decades of loneliness cannot be the preferred one.

That's probably why I'm laughing so happily right now.

"I am always a bystander. Something that shows up, fulfills, and leaves. But not right now. I am not a bystander, I am certainly here as part of everyone. I can do what I want, just like you. This is how I am so happy to have my husband make a pact and bring me on a journey. That's it, so full of breasts."

Salvia gave a full smile as she sighed as if to spit out something that would soar in her chest.

"I think it's a little too much to be able to monopolize my husband like today."

……

Maybe you're serious.

Now that I know it, I waved for the first time.

"That's not true. Opportunities like this will be as much from now on. We've been and will always be together."

"... right"

Salvia laughed fluffily.

"Well, can I ask you to show me today first?"

The words to answer were fixed.

Then we went to school talking.

"Asalina comes here sometimes, doesn't she? What are you two doing?

"I'm mostly looking around. Asalina is free to move here... now she's back in her husband's hands, but I wonder if she's still comfortable."

"Sama!"

"And then sometimes you ask Asalina for a favor."

"Please? Asalina?

"That's right. Heh. It's a secret."

"What's that?"

"It's a secret, isn't it?

"Summer"

I went down the hill while interacting like this, crossing a road that never lit a signal.

Looking at a one-sided, two-lane road, Salvia tilted her neck.

"Nevertheless, it's a wide road. I wonder if it means that people are going to come and go as far as they need to go."

"Oh no. This is for the car to run. Passengers use sidewalks"

If I didn't know the automobile, I would certainly find it odd.

Upon hearing the explanation, Salvia exhaled convincingly.

"Oh. I thought you were walking at the end of a wide road earlier, and that was it"

"... you didn't have that idea"

If the car was running, Salvia would have guessed.

It was only a misunderstanding that could have happened because this is my inner world.

"But if you ask me, you are. It's not dangerous because the car isn't coming, and you don't have to worry about the real law, so can I walk in the middle of the driveway?"

I walked on the sidewalk without any particular doubt because of my habits.

From those who do not know it, it may also have seemed strange behavior.

"What do we do? You want me to walk down the driveway?

When I asked, Salvia shook her head to the side.

"No. Let's not. I'm sure it would be nicer to follow your husband's world rules."

"Is that what this is?

"That's what it is."

Salvia chuckled.

Speaking of which, usually, she travels fluffy, but now she's walking down the road.

I guess this also means, in keeping with the way this world works.

Even just walking, Salvia seemed like fun.

For every explanation, I listened with interest.

As a result, my walk was really slow, and I sometimes stood still.

There's no reason to rush, so I didn't mind.

We also talked about this situation.

Arrival in Imperial City. Contact with the Cathedral Church.

And a reunion with Kanahiko.

"Oh, Kanahiko. I wonder if we've been friends since your husband's junior high school."

"That's right. By the way, I was a classmate in high school."

"We were going to school, and you two were spending some time together."

Salvia let her eyes shine.

"Hehe. Looking forward to it. I wonder what your husband's school looks like."

"You say something like a class tour."

After I said it with a bitter smile, I realized I couldn't pass it on.

The advice, Salvia has asked curiosity in a way that has been tickled.

"Class tour? I don't know, it's"

"Yeah, right. Normal schools are places where students take classes from their teachers in the classroom. But on the day of the class tour, we need parents to see where the students work on their classes."

"Heh. That's the class tour. Sure, the situation is similar."

He exhales as he is convinced, and Fu Salvia peeks into his face.

"But even if I were, would I be the guardian?

……

"I'm glad your husband said that."

The look on his face staring at this one seemed kind of strangely in a good mood.

Somehow I was embarrassed and I turned away from her.

"... don't tease me too much"

"Oh, I'm sorry."

I joked and said, Salvia pulled back lightly.

Only slightly, but it also felt like there was a real color there, and I accidentally looked back.

Salvia notices our gaze and smiles back.

For that moment, what were the emotions that I had in my eyes?

Earlier, maybe it wasn't even a joke.

I guess I thought of that because earlier I was asking how Salvia was feeling with us.

"I don't know."

Salvia tilts her neck.

"... no. Nothing."

I answered that because it seemed impeccable to ask these things directly.

More to the point, I was weirdly embarrassed.

I didn't know why I felt that way.

"Right there."

So instead I said so and turned the corner.

And I put my legs together.

"This is..."

So, the road was broken.
