"... thanks for your help"

Maeza exhaled. I smiled tired.

"Good. If you refuse, there's nothing you can do." The gate cannot be opened. I was half-prepared to have to make a hole to be ready to fail. "

"... if you fail, isn't that the one that will make Theon even more miserable?"

Not as good as being jumped somewhere else in this world. I was shocked to think that I would be jumped again by a completely different world.

In my words, Maeza agreed, "Yes, it is."

“That's why I wanted it to be a last resort, if possible. Of course, there are some one-way ticket magic tools that you can use to return to our world. It's not easy to go to another world."

"Oh, is that so..."

You imagined the hassle, and Maeza seemed tired of it.

"Well, I'm glad I didn't have to do that anymore." That said, it was the hardest thing to do. If you are here, you will not fail. It's totally different how easy it is to do without a key. Even if there were three witches, the magic power to connect to the door would be enough to cover it, and I also got a magic tool. The coordinates of the otherworld can be caught if she's there, and if she opens the gate, she'll definitely return. "

Yes.

The witch told me it was a must. Theon will definitely be able to return to Japan. I was able to believe that.

- Glad to hear it.

I am heartfeltly relieved. Have you finished? Maeza opened the door leading to the next room. I stuck my neck inside and called out, "It's over."

Oh, my God, are you okay? Did you talk to him?

Derris and Theon come to us with a long wait. Theon seemed uneasy. I'm worried about the outcome of the discussion.

Once again, Maeza sees everyone sitting on their chairs and cuts them out.

"I've installed the cooperation." We have all the conditions to open the gates to the otherworld. ”

"... thank you very much"

Theon bowed his head in relief. Dellis asks Maeza sharply.

So, when are you going to do it?

I see. I'm ready, I can't do it right now, but if I can get it for five days, I can get it ready for you.

Although a little troubled, Maeza said a specific number of days. Mr. Derris nodded.

"Five days later, is that it?" That was the full moon. "

"Yes, it's Tuesday, so the red moon." The red moon and the full moon come together. It's just right for anotherworldly transfer. "

What does the Moon have to do with the alien world transfer?

I asked because I was worried.

Mr Derris, not Mr Maysa, will answer my question.

Yeah. It's been said among the witches that the magic power is increased on a full red moon day. When they use a lot of magic power, they deliberately choose that day.

"Heh...."

"The red Tuesday that boils the witch's blood. You don't know that, but in fact, the success rate and efficacy of magic change completely."

"Speaking of which..."

Theon, who was silent until then, opened his mouth as if he had noticed something.

Call that name.

What's the matter, Theon?

"No, I just remembered that when I came to this world, there was a bright red moon rising in the sky." So I realized that this is not the Earth. ”

Zion muttered that he had forgotten. Maeza said as a matter of course.

"When I try an alien metastasis, I choose Tuesday. I just wanted to improve my chances of success a little bit. Well, I still failed that day."

"I'm not bragging about it."

Mr. Derris slapped Mr. Maysa on the head. Maeza held her head down as she said, "It hurts."

You don't have to hit anything!

"It's because you're stupid, absolutely."

Ms. Derris sighed lightly. Maeza-san is ramming into Derris-san. Today alone really changed Maeza's image quite a bit.

I thought she was a more mysterious woman, but now I think she's as adorable as a child.

"... so, can I go home in five days?"

Theon says it all. I couldn't see anything happy in the voice, and everyone looked at him as if they were bewildered.

Maeza asks him, tilting her neck.

"That's right. What, are you not happy? You brought the Prince and his wife from Wilhelm because you wanted to go home, didn't you?"

"Of course, I've lived with the desire to return... but what can I say?" I don't know if it's too sudden and I can't feel it... I know it will be rude and good, but until now, I've been wondering if I can really go home... "

Sion laughs like he's in trouble. He bowed his head to us.

"I'm sorry." You're breaking my bones for me. "

"... you've been struggling so far without sporadic work." No one cares as much as I do. "

I can't help but tell Mr. Derris that I can't help it. I followed her too.

"Yes, I think it's natural to be confused by the sudden return. But, Theon, it's okay because Derris-san is here.”

Giving words of encouragement. Theon laughed tinyly.

It's not Lord Meissa, it's Lord Derris, isn't it?

"Yes, it's Derris who has been taking care of you for a long time." Ah, but that's not why I don't believe in Meissa! "

Hurry up and tell Mr. Meissa. She said with a smile.

"I know, so don't worry about it." Derris has a longer relationship than I have. That's the story, isn't it? "

Y-Yes! That's right!

Good. I nodded again and again, hoping you'd understand. Mr. Derris, um, rubbed his chin.

"Well, I know you can't believe meisa." I don't think I should trust him too much. "

"Derris! Tell me more!! I'm doing well as a witch!"

"I hope so." That's right. Contact Amatsuki, too. I'm not here today. "

The subject of Mr. Amatsuki came up.

The last ally, Amatsuki. Speaking of which, Maeza said with a bitter face that she thought she hadn't arrived.

"Amatsuki. Amatsuki is there." I know what's going on, so I'll work with you, but you said you'd let me know when you're busy. Don't call me anything other than the execution date. That's why I didn't call you today. "

"... it looks like he was hitting a knife anyway."

“Maybe so. She said something about Wilhelm being good with water."

I see. It's like Amatsuki's answer.
