My Pet Is a Holy Maiden

"Mahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

With both fists poking up, the young man, with a refreshing impression, expressed his joy throughout his body.

The neat look on his face distorts without much joy, and the usual cool atmosphere aesthetics are completely without a platform.

Tatsumi stared at the young man in such a manner with an unexpectedly pompous look. No, I can only stare.

Tatsumi and the others are in a fast-food store near Nikkan Station. Even though it's not so crowded in the store before a weekday evening, there's no way you won't get your attention if you raise your roar in such a place. Even now, Tatsumi's attention is focused on what happened to the guests who were sparse around them.

"Hey Ryu! Weigh yourself a little. It's annoying around, and Yamagata-kun is surprised!

"What are you talking about, Aah! I can't help but scream!! 'Cause it's a different world! It's a fantasy world! There's someone in front of you who's back from that other world! When can I scream without screaming here!?"

"The fantasy world... nothing. It's not the first time Yamagata-kun's been involved in the fantasy world we've met, is it?

"It sure is! But still, I am fiercely impressed right now!!"

A young man in a strange tension - Takashi Hagi and a woman who looks ashamed of her Takashi - Kimura.

Most of all, I am familiar with the fact that Ryu's excitement does not subside to the extent that he has a long relationship with Ryu. Ryu is a serious fantasy geek and has a painful background of making the same roar in a large composite supermarket on holidays before.

"Sorry, Yamagata-kun. This guy's a little nuts... never mind, huh?

After misleading the guests around him with a loving laugh, Aye apologized to Tatsumi as he stood one hand in front of his face.

Ryu and Ay were suddenly called out by a strange boy in front of the station. The two of them moved to this store, suspiciously, to listen to the boy who somehow knew their name. They also questioned it. How do strange boys who suddenly show up know about themselves?

And what they asked me was the surprising fact.

The boy in front of him, Tatsumi Yamagata, was in another world until recently. But a certain circumstance said he had fulfilled an unwanted return home.

Normally, it would not be easy to believe that he had been summoned to another world, etc.

But Ryu and Aoi have very similar friends. For this reason, although I do not believe in all of Tatsumi's words, I did not deny them at all.

"So what is it? You... Yamagata-kun said he met Elle in that other world?

"That's right, Hagano. Elle took care of a lot over there... when I was in Japan, Elle herself told me that I lived in this town..."

"So you're relying on Elle to get to Nissan City?

Tatsumi snorts at the words of Aye and shows them. And I showed the evidence and the photos I took on my phone in the other world to both of us.

"True. I'm pretty sure this is El."

"Besides, you haven't misled your ears with hallucinations, and you have a slightly more grown-up vibe than El we know"

Otherwise, Tatsumi shows the other photo taken on a whim.

The majestic Temple of Savaivo, the robust Royal Castle, the streets of Levantis, and many friends and acquaintances.

The figure of Jaddock, a shade with four arms and four eyes in particular, seems to have been good proof that it is a different world there.

"Sure, this sounds like a different world. Of course, the possibility that this is a hands-on CG cannot be discarded..."

"Right. Yamagata-kun won't have to do anything that handy."

Ryu and Aoi looked at each other and nodded at each other after seeing the picture.

Apparently, the boy in front of you isn't lying. Besides, if you know Elle, you can't say that Ryu and Aoi are human resources.

Even if that El were the El of a future we do not know.

"I understand your story. Let's call El from me."

"But if El himself says he doesn't want to see Yamagata-kun... give it up then, okay? Because even as us, we can't do what El doesn't want."

While I think that's very unlikely, I'll just stab the nail for once.

"Ha ha!! Of course!! Thank you!!"

With a smile on his face, Tatsumi stood up from her seat and bowed her head deeply toward the two of them.

Takashi took his smartphone out of his pocket while smiling at Tatsumi.

Tatsumi followed the fast food store with Ryus when the surroundings began to darken after the evening and the pounding and bright lights lit up inside the town.

I haven't seen it in a long time, town lights. Until about a year and a half ago in Tatsumi's physical time, it was a very normal "bright night".

But the first "bright night" in a long time makes Tatsumi feel uncomfortable somewhere. By then, Tatsumi had become accustomed to life there.

It was a very normal house to be guided by Ryu and Aoi while drawing similar sentiments to such a grief.

Though the exterior feels slightly old, when it is well refurbished inside, Ryu somehow proudly explains it like it is about me, with his flank poked in the eye.

The Ryu and Aoi head over the garden gate to the front door in a familiar manner. And press the intercom next to the front door without hesitation.

"Yes, Akatsuka."

"Hey, it's me, me."

Ryu speaks to the interphone to which he replied as if he were a con artist. But Tatsumi is not the other way around. The voice he heard from Interphone was definitely the voice of the person he most wanted to meet right now.

I don't know, Tatsumi's heart rate jumps. Expectations to see her and the fear if that girlfriend rejects her. Various emotions gush up and tighten Tatsumi's mind.

While Tatsumi was holding back such emotions, Ryu seemed to have talked across the intercom.

Beyond the front door, signs move, and there is a sound of the lock opening properly.

And then I opened the front door and she showed herself.

Pair grey biscuits from the top of a clean white short-sleeved blouse with washed blue flared shorts on the bottom. Qualitative sandals at the tip of smooth white legs stretching from there.

That fashion would be very common in Japan. But if you try Tatsumi, she's never dressed like this before.

Such a girlfriend - - sees Elle, tears fall from both eyes of Tatsumi.

Suddenly, Tatsumi was sent back to Japan unwillingly. Indeed, Japan is a homeland for Tatsumi and a place to know on its own. But for Tatsumi today, Japan is only an "uneasy place".

I can never ignore my anxiety about being missing for a year. Sure, my aunt doesn't seem to care about herself at all, but if she had a mysterious disappearance for a year, there's no way the other residents and landlords of the apartment would be unsuspecting. Maybe the landlord is sending a search request to the police.

There are various other anxieties. Can you fulfill and return to the other side, or will there not be a big difference in time between the other side and this one while you are still in Japan? And most importantly, is his most precious woman safe?

Tatsumi had such anxiety. However, the appearance of the only person in front of him who seemed to be able to rely on him finally destroyed the dam of Tatsumi's heart.

Tatsumi collapses from her knees in tears and tumbles at Elle's feet.

And when Elle says, suddenly cried by a strange boy and was stranded at his feet.

"Huh? Huh? Uh... yeah?

Without understanding the situation at all, I could only compare Ryu, Aye, and Tatsumi again and again, and grate them.

"Uh, well... sorry about earlier..."

Tatsumi apologized to the people in front of her, looking very bad.

"Well, never mind, Yamagata-kun. That must have been all there was to it."

"Yes, yes. When it's hard, everyone wants to rely on someone."

It is, of course, Ryu and Aoi who laugh and forgive Tatsumi for making her seem creepy.

They are in the living room of the Akatsuka family.

Tatsumi sat at one side of the dining table, a pair of men and women at its front. Ryu and Aoi, who guided Tatsumi so far, are as lenient as home on the couch a little further away.

Tatsumi turns again to the man and woman in front of her, smiling lightly at the two of them who allowed her to fade away with a grin.

Among men and women, women know better.

The woman that Tatsumi knows well, Elle, has a slightly different impression because Tatsumi knows about a hundred years of difference in age from Elle. No matter how long the elves live, nearly a hundred years must make a difference.

"Younger" Elle than Elle I know well. And sitting next to it was a young man with a calm atmosphere.

Very ordinary living room in a very ordinary house. He looks really good there, a gentle smile on his face.

─ ─ This is Elle's husband...

At the moment it seems to be a relationship between "brothers and sisters in law" Elle and his youth. But I soon found out that there was more love and trust between the two of them than Tatsumi at first sight.

"But I was surprised when Ryu told me. I can't believe there were other people involved in different worlds besides El. Oh, my name is Yasushi. Red Tsuka Kang, maybe you heard from Ryu or Aoi?

Yasushi tells him as he offers his right hand to his close friend. Tatsumi answers Yasushi's question when he squeezes his hand tightly.

"Yes, I hear about Akatsuka. Hagano and Kimura told me earlier, but Elle told me a lot more about it than that."

In the words of Tatsumi, Yasushi and Elle smile lightly as they look at each other.

─ ─ I don't know... being with Mr. Elle is the painter.

With some disrespect, Tatsumi has such an impression on Yasushi.

Yasushi, who will be Elle's husband in the future, is never a man with a flashy impression. It looks very ordinary and not beautifully shaped as everyone like Ryu would admit.

Against such Yasushi, Elle is a beauty that everyone acknowledges. Yet when Yasushi and Elle line up, they get really tight.

The two of them are together and create a natural atmosphere, as if they were a pair. Something warm springs up in Tatsumi's heart about the way they look.

I guess it was because of this guy that Mr. Elle spent a long time in Japan. There was definitely something between us that made Tatsumi think so.

"I'm sorry you kept me waiting until after my part-time job. Quick, but can we talk about Yamagata-kun again? Takashi told me the whole story... but I haven't heard the details."

Tatsumi nodded to Yasushi's request and explained what Tatsumi had experienced from the beginning.

His stories to you, Elle, and Ryu and Aye listened to me without pinching a word.

After Tatsumi finished telling the story, Yasushi opened his mouth staring at Tatsumi.

"I mean, you want to use Elle's dagger to go back to the other world you've been in?

Your gaze is like shooting yourself straight through the front. Tatsumi takes it firmly.

"Please! I am well aware that that dagger is important to Mr. Elle! But now that's the only way back over there!

He climbs out on the table, and Tatsumi bows his head toward Yasushi and Elle.

In response to such Tatsumi, Yasushi told Elle clearly after seeing her face again.

"I'm sorry but... I can't lend you Elle's dagger"

and.
