My Pet Is a Holy Maiden

Unwanted Homecoming

What spreads in front of you is the view of modern Japan. Probably the most commonly seen sight in Japan today, which can never be called a city but not enough to call it a countryside.

Seto, Aichi Prefecture. A town where Tatsumi lived until he was born and raised and summoned to another world.

Known in ancient times as a baked goods town, it has also recently developed as a bedtown due to the condition that it is less than an hour's train ride from Nagoya.

Incidentally, there is the word "Seto" as the generic term for baked goods, but that is "baked goods baked in Seto" is the source of the story.

Tatsumi has a stunning view of the town. Having returned home unwisely, Tatsumi can only admire the stretch of town in front of him.

How long would I have done that? Tatsumi noticed someone walking down the street outside her apartment looking up at herself suspiciously.

This apartment where he lived is three floors long, and Tatsumi's room is upstairs. For this reason, when I go out onto the veranda, I can hope for a road that passes right in front of me, but an elderly person who seems to be walking with a dog who stumbles through it looks up at me wonderfully.

At this time, Tatsumi finally realized what she looked like.

The other self - the battle with Tatsumi - has made the cleric clothes he wore blurry. In addition, there is so much blood stain that it cannot be ignored that he is now a "suspicious man dressed in unfamiliar clothing" himself, with blood on his face.

Tatsumi rushes into the room, closing the veranda door and curtains. And I looked around the room again.

There is a lot of dust in the room, which has been long since the inhabitants suddenly disappeared. No one cleans, so I guess that's natural.

Looking inside the room, the feeling of coming back to Japan increases in response. At the same time, a rush and frustration springs up in Tatsumi's mind.

What would have happened to Calcedonia after the battle against Tatsumi?

Are you all right? Or is it just another person who's already...

More and more unpleasant thoughts come to mind, Tatsumi shakes her head and shakes it off. There are plenty of people around Calcedonia to rely on, such as Giuseppe and his brother-in-law. Even if they were gone, they couldn't have left Calcedonia in jeopardy.

Tatsumi inhales and exhales heavily.

Be as calm as you are when you are in distress. That was knocked in by those we met in that world, starting with Giuseppe.

Augin and senior cleric warriors, regular warcraft hunters gathered at [Elf's Lounge Pavilion]. Tatsumi learned a lot from them. In order not to waste their teachings, we cannot expose ourselves here to haste, frustration and indifference.

"When you're in a predicament, there's no taking care of you if you can calm down so easily. But act cool then, even if it's a vanity. And review carefully the situation in which you were placed. And while you're at it, your mind will surprisingly calm down a little bit, and you'll be able to see things you haven't seen before."

That's what Augin, the instructor, said to Tatsumi and Bath when he was still a cleric warrior apprentice.

"My situation…?"

With that groaning, Tatsumi takes another slow look around the dusty room.

"... No, I don't know what's going on with the contract for this room..."

It doesn't seem like there's another human being living here because of the furniture that used to live here.

"... you mean the contract stays the same... then... gas, electricity, water..."

Tatsumi confirms his lifeline, taking care not to let the dust rise. As a result, it was found that electricity, gas, and water supply could also be used as is. Most importantly, only the water supply came out of strange colors in the beginning.

Perhaps my aunt, not knowing that she had been summoned to another world, kept transferring the cost of living to her account on the street until then. Since Tatsumi was summoned to another world in the first place, you wouldn't even dream about it, so it's natural that my aunt kept transferring the cost of living.

Since rent and utilities are debited from the designated account, they continued to pay each expense even after Tatsumi disappeared.

"Ha ha, so you were helped by your aunt's indifference"

For the first time, Tatsumi thanked her just a little bit to her aunt, who was still indifferent to herself.

In the meantime, Tatsumi dresses first.

Remove the long-sleeved t-shirt and jeans from the shirt and wear them.

"Wow... the size is a bit small..."

While in different worlds, Tatsumi's body has grown considerably. That's why it's a little small in my old clothes.

Still, it doesn't mean I can't wear it, and it's been a long time since I've had the patience of something somewhat uncomfortable to put my sleeves through this garment.

Then, replace the underwear with this one as well. I knew this underwear was more comfortable and that was going to play a part in calming Tatsumi down.

"Well, what are we going to do..."

Of course, Tatsumi intends to return to another world where Calcedonia awaits. However, it is as if I do not know how to do so.

I checked, but there is still no magic in Tatsumi's body. Those injuries sustained by Tatsumi have been almost recovered by Self-Healing, but they probably consumed all the magic left over from that recovery.

And naturally, there is no magic here - no exogenous elements, so Tatsumi can't restore the magic.

I want to get back to Calcedonia as soon as possible. But there's no way to do that. Tatsumi strives to push hard into the depths of her mind with a stirring and gushing impatience and frustration.

-What would you do in a time like this other than me? What if it's Chico, for example? What about Bath and the Needs? If it's jadock or mill il? And if it was Mr. Elle...

The moment I thought of the person, a flash of light ran through Tatsumi's brain.

"Oh, yeah! There may be Elle in Japan today!

Tatsumi rushes to confirm her cell phone address, thinking of a different world person who might also be in Japan.

I have exchanged addresses with Elle before. At that time, besides the phone number and email address, we also gave each other the address when we lived in Japan, and we kept each other's cell phones. I thought I was just in the mood then, but I never thought there would be a useful day.

"Nikken-shi... Okutocho...?

It was registered to a cell phone, El's address. That was probably the address just before El left Japan, and I don't know if he still lives at that address. No, maybe there's no Elle in this Japan.

Still, the existence of El can be said to be the only light for the present Tatsumi. Tatsumi, who hurriedly set up the computer, first visited the Nikken-shi website.

According to stories I heard from Elle before, she worked like an online idol at the request of the mayor of Nikken-shi.

An elf girl who happens to stop in Nissan City from another world. And liking Nisshin City, she decided to stay and live in Nisshin City for a while.

On top of that setup, Elle said he was playing the character "Mr. Elf of Nissan City" on his homepage.

If you take a peek at the Nikken-shi website, you do have a corner called "Mr. Elf in Nikken-shi". There were pictures of Elle taken in various parts of Nissan City.

"... I knew Elle was here too..."

Tatsumi exhales a sigh of relief as she looks at a picture of Elle smiling on the screen.

Tatsumi then examines her next journey to Odo Town online.

There is no direct transport link between Seto and Nikkan. For this reason, it is necessary to first go through Nagoya in order to use transportation to get to Nissan City. That takes an hour and a half to two hours. But if you drive directly to it, it only takes about thirty minutes.

Exactly, Tatsumi doesn't have a private car or a license. I also thought about using a taxi for a moment, but if a minor uses a taxi on his own, he might be suspicious. Then the means of travel he can take is a bicycle choice.

"Speaking of which, what month is it now...?

Tatsumi was summoned by Calcedonia in the spring of the seventeen-year-old, the second freshman year of high school. And I spent over a year and a half in local time in that world I was called to Calcedonia.

However, there is no guarantee anywhere that the passage of time will coincide between different worlds and Japan. Perhaps there is a great distance between the different worlds and Japan in the passage of time.

Tatsumi launches the computer's calendar function, keeping the map displayed online. As a result, it turned out that it was the beginning of June, a year after Tatsumi was in Japan, and today it was a weekday.

In other words, Tatsumi was away from Japan for about a year. There will be about six months of difference between different worlds.

Having confirmed the current date, Tatsumi notes the journey to Nikken-shi and sticks it in his pocket. Take away the purse you left thrown out on your desk, gently dust it and then put it in your pocket as well.

Then, clutching the room and the bike keys, Tatsumi hurried to the apartment parking lot.

At this time, Tatsumi hadn't noticed.

that there was a sparrow staring at his room from above the wire stretched out in front of his room. And that the little eyes of those sparrows are dyed red.

Similar to the room, the dusty bike is pulled from the parking lot, and Tatsumi runs straight out.

A bicycle I hadn't used in over a year. Naturally the air was out of the tire, so I only refill the tire air and desperately row the bike.

From Tatsumi's apartment, which exists beside the intersection of Shui Anse Town, exit on Prefectural Highway 57 via the street. Stay on Highway 57, cross the Yada River over Ryono Town and run towards Nagakute City. After crossing the junction of Yamanoda and reaching the junction of the hay, enter Prefectural Highway 233.

And on the road to Nisshin City. Along the way, he dives the elevation of Linimo near Aichi Prefectural University of the Arts and Sciences, aiming at the intersection of Iwato.

Running under the Higashi Expressway, at the intersection of Iwato, this time changing to Prefectural Highway 217, merging again at the intersection of White Mountain with a right-hand view of Iwasaki Castle.

All you have to do is get to Odocho on the road.

If you pass from below Asama to beside the Odo Temple and next to Nikkan Station on the Metro Toyota Line, the destination, Odo Town, is just around the corner.

From Tatsumi's room to here, at a distance of less than 15 km. A little over an hour in time.

Just feeling physically fatigued, Tatsumi stops at a convenience store in front of Nikjin Station. At that time, he asked the clerk about the town of Odo, where Elle would reside, and confirmed that the town name was certainly ahead of him.

There are plenty of apartments lined up around Nikkan Station that cross the tenth floor. I will sit down on the bench of Rotary in front of the station surrounded by such an apartment and tuck the drinks and bread I bought at the convenience store into my stomach.

The sky is more and more cloudy. Tatsumi recalls that the last Levantis sky she saw also had the same color.

But it's not as cold as Levantis. On the contrary, there is sweat all over Tatsumi because he has rowed his bike so desperately so far.

Just before the rainy season, the humid, perhaps pregnant, hot and humid Japanese air. I think I miss the stabbing cold of Levantis more than the June air I should have been familiar with.

And at the same time, what comes to mind is his beloved platinum-haired woman.

When I think about her, my anxiety really builds up. Due to that anxiety, Tatsumi was squeezing the pet bottle in his hand at all costs at some point.

A drink overflowing from a pet bottle defiled his hand, and Tatsumi returned to me because of it.

"Shit... forgot to bring a handkerchief..."

All he has in his possession is his wallet and cell phone because he hastily popped up. Exhaled, Tatsumi rises off the bench trying to wash her hands in the bathroom at the station.

Turning to the entrance to the station, a passenger comes out of the station wondering if the train just came in. Weekday evenings and not so many customers. It was then that a familiar figure entered Tatsumi's sight as he retraced such a sparse wave of people to the station.

After finishing his afternoon lecture, Ryu Hagi sighed as he left Nikkan Station looking up at the cloudier skies.

"You've been all cloudy lately. Is it going to be a full rainy season soon?

Dark shades of brown hair, lengths that exceed 180 cm, and what can be called a refreshing impression sufficiently aesthetic attract the gaze of the opposite sex around you even if you don't like it. Now, a housewife on the way to shopping, who was around, looks up at the sky and looks at him with a worrying look on her face.

"Sure, it's time for a regular year, isn't it? And then, as soon as the rainy season breaks, it gets hot and the cicadas buzz."

Ryu Likewise one woman looking up at the sky. She also gave you a sobering look at the unpleasant season to come.

Her name is Kimura. A neighbor Ryu is a pattern between lovers.

A slightly habitual bright shade of brown hair stretched out to about the middle of my back and a slightly hung black eye. She is a beautiful woman with a lively impression, and alongside the beautifully shaped Ryu, it is as if even an entertainer sees her.

In fact, they can also be known in college as lovers of quite famous aesthetics.

The two look back from the sky to the ground they were looking up at and walk out of either.

"What do we do now? I have a little time to get to work...?

"Hey... today Kang (Yasu) was also a part-timer at my brother's shop... why don't you show me your face?

Ryu, smiling and nodding at Aye's suggestion, heads to the coffee shop run by her brother in the building in front of the station.

And when they walked out, they accidentally called their names from behind.

"Oh, um... ah!! Takashi Hagano and Aoi Kimura... right!?"

Ahead of the two who were called by name and turned around, a little younger than them and a waking boy stood with a hurried look on his face.
