Senpensekai no Madoushoshi

That day I went to the warrior guild reception the same time as the day before.

"Really? Well, if you'll excuse me, may I wait for you today?"

With Saluena, we get to the table and wait for the Toslins to return. The gaze around me is even more curious than it was yesterday.

"Hey, dude. Is that the girl from yesterday?"

"Yesterday's? Oh, the one who seemed to get along with the Orange Rank Adventurer."

The presence of Toslin and Carroll, adventurers of the orange ranks, and Rosé, clerics, seems to burn vividly into the memory of those here. As a result, my gaze at who I was with such a woman inexplicably pierces me.

"They're definitely like Iris. Look, there's a bookstore in the mall, over there..."

That's what one of them said, and my name spreads into the guild building with a twist. That turned the majority into a purely convincing twinkle of 'ahhh,' but something that wasn't was also mixed up inside.

"... why are you here again today, that girl? Are you trying to get close to seeing that adventurer again?"

"If so, you look up at the diagram thickness. Not really, but I can't imitate it."

"Hey, I hear you, both of you."

"You're just like a city girl, and you don't know much about rank. Somebody tell me more. You and those people don't live in the same world."

"So stop, Peach Seeds"

A threesome of female adventurers arriving at the table next door and choosing a job. The two brown-skinned people in it are staring at me with disgust exposed.

If you try them, you'll see the existence of me as something even less interesting. I guess it's because they're the peers who crave those connections more than anyone else: fellow adventurers, friends, or acquaintances. So I'm nothing but an unpleasant seed for them to seem to be trying to get to it without knowing it.

"That's too late. He said he was going to focus on the ruins today, but lost?"

Saluena tried to protect me from a malicious gaze and turned away from me.

"Well, maybe..."

I've been skipping breakfast trying to have dinner with everyone today. But it's been two hours, but the three of them don't show up.

The gaze of those around me, especially the adventurers, gets tougher and tougher. I shrugged myself every time I heard the words of a mockery mix.

"Shouldn't we eat something? Lord."

Glad you had Saluena. Without her, I wouldn't have been able to stay in this place for five minutes. Saluena flushes it flat, even if it is directed at negative emotional words such as ridicule and disgust. Or as if you didn't hear me. Watching that, I was just a little, chilled, too.

"Ugh, yeah... but it's because of that, and I'll wait a little longer. What about Saluena? You're hungry, aren't you? Then even if you eat first..."

"If you did, but wait, I'll wait, too. You should eat your meal with someone. One meal is tasteless."

"Oh, I'm sorry... Saluena..."

And another hour. Again, the Toslins will not return. I checked with the receptionist that I might have misplaced it without realizing it. But if I hadn't been back once since we broke up yesterday morning, it was just so repetitive.

Come on, my stomach was screaming, so I ate something appropriate with Saluena. I didn't know what it tasted like just because the situation was a situation. I just remember feeling a little heavy, like Mr. Rosé said yesterday.

And waited further.

Lunch is approaching, fewer people, fewer times they say they hate you... but the Toslins aren't coming home.

"I guess there has been some progress on the ground that this much waiting won't bring us back. You can go back today and see me tomorrow."

"Yeah...... right. Shall we?"

Mr Rosé said tomorrow. It would be a lie to say that Mr. Rosé is not anxious to be back. But that man is a cleric, and an adventurer with orange rank prowess. Plus there's Toslin and Carol, so I guess there's nothing to worry about.

It's just that Saluena's right, she's discovered something and her plans just went a little crazy, I'm sure.

"Oh, you, you didn't see me after all. To those adventurers."

I asked the receptionist to give me a message and that's what one of the adventurers told me when I left the guild. I don't remember it well, but I feel like the face I saw during the adventurer party that was staring at me in the morning.

"Yes..."

"Really, that was unfortunate...... Um, I'm sorry our people said so much to you. I can't move out of this city for six months because of the snow, and I think it's frustrating."

I thought you'd say something disgusting again, but you didn't.

"But even this snow brings an orange ranked adventurer to a place where he doesn't have a job and doesn't eat in imitation of wood dust... I think those two seemed to have plundered their jobs. But I can't complain directly, and at least I'm clearing up Usa by hitting you like a person involved, I'm sure..."

"Really..."

"It's not always the kids who say that. So don't get me wrong... you can't say that, can you, that one? Really, I'm sorry. It made me feel bad."

"Yes, no... because each of you will have a situation"

"Yeah, but that's something I can tell you too. So I apologize instead, for making me feel really uncomfortable, sorry"

The adventurer bowed his head to me and finally said 'I hope to see you' and walked to the receptionist.

She was a beautiful woman with gray hair and blue eyes, with a light overall pigment.

"Oh well... like I couldn't come home from the front desk for six months..."

"You mean there are such things in this city."

What if I can't meet Toslin, Carol, and Mr. Rose at the front desk? If I hadn't met Chalri or Mr. Mertalia. How would I have been for six months?

Maybe he said he wanted to go home and cry every night. My heart could have been rough and sprinkled with people.

"But there is no need for the Lord to be sick of it. You didn't have to worry about them. As they are, they don't know anything about each other, because they're just other people."

Saluena stroked her back to encourage me and said so. And as I'm pushed by that arm, I'm leaving my guild behind. But there was one word stung in my heart.

"The world you live in is different"

Someone was saying, that word. It twitched slowly, gaining weight as if the cotton sucked water, and began to release pain.

I went to church this afternoon to follow up on yesterday's research. I hear Mr. Elzella and the others were following past records even while I was gone. But so far, there is no clue.

I cared about everyone, but I drove it out of my consciousness and kept turning the book. But even that day, I didn't get a clue.

I went to the guild again before I got home from church and asked for confirmation. But I knew I hadn't left today.

I told him I was coming again tomorrow, and Saluena and I went home to drag a long shadow in the sun-dyed city.

But the Toslins did not return the next day, nor the next day.
