The Struggle of Returning to The Other World

32. On rainy days my heart sinks

A few days later.

It was more and more cloudy that day.

In retrospect, I don't remember much weather breaking down since I came to this world.

It doesn't look like a world with as much precipitation as Japan originally did, but it was still raining quite a bit during the previous summons. Sometimes your husbands and shopkeepers had conversations like, "It hasn't rained lately," so the weather here is still weird lately.

I wonder if it will rain today for the first time in a long time.

I looked up at the sky from the store's end, holding a cage with lunch boxes.

Rainfall is a delight in itself, but it is a bad thing for me to deliver lunches. Let's just make a lunch delivery before they get off.

Just in case, I threw my cape for the rain into the cage and I left the store.

Upon arrival at the Royal Palace, he seemed somewhere more hasty than usual.

Not all of them, but there seems to be a few officials who are moving at all.

I headed straight to the magic institute as usual, wondering if anything had happened. If Mr. Corey or Mr. Luna were here, let's ask them what happened.

But in the hallway to the lab, I was called out by unexpected people and stopped on my feet.

It is Mr Sotini.

"Hello, Harka"

"Oh, thank you, Mr. Sotini"

I bowed my head lightly. If you lower it too much, the weight of the lunchbox makes it a big deal.

Nevertheless, I wonder why Mr Sotini is here.

Did you come after Mr. Ordis again today? I was curious, but I decided to keep my mouth shut because if I poke around it, I might be followed by this obfuscation again, even if it was related to Mr. Ordis.

But the truth is, maybe I don't have to worry about it anymore. Mr Sotini's attitude towards me has been completely softened since the other day. Even today, her expression is calm. Is it because, having succeeded in mastering her stomach, she also allowed me to be cordial with her Lord, Lady Ardina?

That would be very appreciated.

Unfortunately, I can't even relate to Mr. Sotini very much. In the meantime, Noel had just been moxibusted.

"Mr. Hulka, this has been a bad time. After that... were you okay?

Mr Sotini at the time seemed to care about the same thing. "After that" must mean, of course, after leaving Master Ardina's private room to be dragged by Noel.

"Oh, yes, it was fine. It's just that if there's no next time, I've been stabbed in the nail."

"Lord Noel would say that, wouldn't he? He's loyal to the mission, but he can't accommodate it. I can't believe that Ardina's just getting mad at him, but she's totally counting on him."

As far as I'm concerned, I don't want to laugh bitterly.

At the time of the witch, it was precisely me who relied on Noel in the same way.

"But it's a shame. Dear Aldina, you really liked you."

"I'm sorry too"

Nodding honestly, Ms. Sotini struck her hand as she remembered.

"Oh, speaking of which, did you also meet Master Rayburn?

"Huh?"

Speaking of Mr. Rayburn, I've been speaking to Noel, that neutral cleric youth.

"Oh, I'm sorry, you're not supposed to know the name. At the exit of the clergyman's quarters, he would have been summoned by a male cleric. It's about him. He seemed to care about you, so I got in trouble, too. They ask me what daughter you are, why you know me, why you called me to the neighborhood, digging for root leaves."

"Oh, really?"

Is that okay, because the outsiders didn't care that they entered the settlement? Or did you have other thoughts? Cold sweat conveys the back.

"I told you clearly that there was no reason to talk to you. I really don't like that guy."

Doesn't Mr. Sotini make people's likes and dislikes too intense?

Well, it's probably easier to deal with for not having a back table than someone who looks good to everyone.

"Um, so today..."

"Oh, you missed the point. Today, I wanted to make sure you were okay, so I took you this far. Ardina cared more than I did, and I had a hard time telling her that I would even pay for your working diner. If the clergyman suddenly shows up at a city fixer, you'll be in trouble, too, won't you?

"Yeah, that's, exactly"

I'm glad Mr. Sotini stopped me.

"Then I'd like you to make sure you're safe for the next delivery."

"I'm sorry to bother you. Could you please tell Master Ardina that you don't mind? Nor was Noel so scared."

With that said, Mr. Sotini laughed furiously at what was interesting.

"You're changing. Normal daughters say that if we were to walk side by side alone with Master Noel, we'd be up and out of words."

"No, before you think it's nice, you say you've been put under pressure by that force. Mr. Sotini."

"Am I, Lord Ordis, determined?"

A sharp glance flew in. Looks like we're getting too well.

"Oh, right. Then that's what I'm talking about. I have time for lunch delivery."

Leaving the front before going deep.

To me once I tried to bow my head and walk away now, but Mr. Sotini still spoke.

"Please wait. We're going to the magic lab, right? But I'm paying for it now, and there's hardly anyone left."

"Oh, really?

If you say so, you have to stop.

Looking back again, Mr. Sotini told me the details.

Anything, in a rural town outside the country, they say it's currently raining heavily.

They say the rain is at a catastrophic level of once every decades, and the river has become too much water this morning, and the earthwork has been decimated? The damage to the town is immense, and all the residents are evacuated. Apparently there have already been some deaths.

Anyway, the first thing I meant was that the magicians were given a dispatch order to minimize the damage caused by the river flood. Use the magicians' technique to temporarily reinforce the decimated earth.

"I hadn't heard at all"

"It was a sudden dispatch order. Mr. Ordis is turning to your support. If you were such a high-ranking magician as Master Ordis, you could have stayed at the Royal Palace, but you dared to take command of the scene, so you're truly wonderful."

Mr. Sotini gave a lucid look.

But right. Is Mr. Ordis not here either? Naturally, Mr. Corey and Mr. Luna are out, too. That seems to have been why the royal palace was floating somewhere.

"For once, I'll put my face on the lab just in case. Someone might be here."

"Yes, then I shall return."

"Yes, thank you"

After a brief look at Mr. Sotini's back as he left, I followed the scene as well.

Soon arrived at the Institute of Magic, there are certainly few signs of people.

Though there were a few staff members who left a message at once, it seems that all my discerning people are paying for it. I decided to leave the lunch box as I was told, because the staff at the voicemail said it would be kept.

"I'm sorry, you carried my lunch."

My little middle-aged uncle helped me take my lunchbox out of the cage.

"No, I hope your power keeps the river flood safe.... rain, is it that bad"

"I hear that's how it is. Wang Du, this cloudy sky, we might get out of here in time."

With my uncle, I peek into the sky through the window.

As always, it was cloudy weather that was still going to come down.

It started raining heavily as I returned to the fixer.

It's dangerous. It's safe.

He came back before he managed to descend, but if he had started descending along the way, it would have been so much rain that he didn't think it would have made any real sense, such as a cloak of rain.

"Oh, my God. I don't think we're going to see any guests tonight."

Your husband shrugged as he looked up into the sky from under the house.

Sure, no matter how close you are to the royal palace, only a limited number of customers will bother to take you to our fixer on a day like this.

"Let's reduce the amount of planting for the night today. You can rest in your room, Harka."

After an idle day of business, preparations begin for the evening. but your husband's care spared me. Your husband's creed is to keep your energy and motivation at the best of times here, although he wants to do whatever the idle birds can do to try to ring. Even if you are walking all you can at any time, it will be all the time.

I ended up pulling into my room sweet to your words, but without doing it, I was out of hand, just blurry to look out the window. I wish I had some indoor hobby at a time like this. The knitting and puzzles recommended during the witchcraft era (like) were not suited to the sexes in any way and could not be obsessed. You like to read books, but you can't do that either because you can't read much of the letters in this world.

... free.

While I am so relaxed, the magicians, beginning with Mr. Ordis, will be busy standing around to reinforce the jetty by now. I'm kind of sorry to think of that.

But is Mr. Ordis the lifesaver?

It is very unexpected to be repeatedly aware that it is a rude thing.

Mr. Sotini said that, in his position, there was no need to carry out such activities, but rather he seemed reluctant to lift his hips to the end, even in a position where he had to take the initiative - that is the statue of Mr. Ordis in me.

How bad is the situation on the ground?

No, or maybe I saw some change in his crowd during the year and a half without me.

(If so, time did pass in this world as well)

Um, there's something kind of emotional.

At the time of the previous summons, when we returned to the original world, less than a minute had passed since the time of the summons. He returned to that time on the day when he was summoned.

It was a big shock when I found out about it. No, of course, realistically speaking, it must have been definitely better than time flowing poorly and being treated as divine concealment, but I felt strongly unreasonable that I could not reasonably swallow.

I spent a lot of time in this world as a witch, even though I had a lot of hard feelings, an effort, and vice versa. I felt like it was all gone.

But now I come to this world again, to reunite with the people I miss. I guess that year did exist. Everyone is changing a little bit. Positions and thoughts, everything surrounding the person - yes, little by little.

But I'm the only one who hasn't changed much.

I am aware that if I did it, I would have gotten thicker, but is that about it?

Noel tells me he's "changed," but that's probably the same significance as "getting fat."

Flowers are also an unfortunate assessment as a disgraced maiden.

Come to this world - it's been almost four months.

It was the best I could do. I admit that. You can compliment yourself.

When I nearly starved to death, it was my biggest fine play that led me to this fixer. I was very fortunate to have been protected at such a kind place. Well, luck and nothing, thanks to your husbands who picked it up with enthusiasm.

But. But.

Then what the hell would I have done?

Walk around selling lunches, make some twats and show your face to the royal palace. It may be said that things were still going well to the point of involving the Chancellor, Lady Frahamti. But how about we go from there?

This body - it's terrible. Nothing is going on. of the murderer who summoned me, the situation continues where I can't even grab that tail.

Is it bad because I leave it to people?

I am totally sweet about it because Master Frahamti promised me that he would find the killer and return me. I haven't moved at all myself.

(- That)

I blinked my pussy and eyes as I stared out the window.

Wouldn't it have been strange right now?

(What?

Ask yourself slowly.

Look for the buds of suspicion that have abruptly boiled in your chest on a smudge.

And -.

(Oh, yeah)

Okay, something's wrong.

- In the first place.

I wonder how we can't find the killer for so long.

It was already more than two months ago that I asked Master Frahamti to find the killer.

Ladies Frahamti and Ordis had told us at the first stage that the faction in conflict with Lady Ardina was likely to be the culprit this time. Would it take months to investigate those opposing factions?

Or were they "white"?

So the investigation got stuck and we rode up to the reef?

No, but.

Even if they were white and had to search for the killer elsewhere.

The summoning technique of invoking a daughter from another world is said to be a forbidden technique during the procedure.

It's a secret technique that ordinary people can't handle easily, and it's strictly controlled by the state. There are only enough summoners accredited to the country to count with one hand, and they are treated as a national treasure.

If there is someone out there who used such outrageous techniques to summon me, whether it be the rival faction of Master Ardina or not, why can't I still find him? Isn't the route supposed to be very limited?

Of course, for example, I couldn't help but find the killer by myself.

Because I am far too far from summoning, albeit the called party. More to the point, they are too far from the people surrounding the heart of the country to be able to strike their hands.

But.

Master Frahamti is different.

He is the prime minister of this country. In a way, I'm closest to a king at the top of the country. He should have the majority of the country.

Is it possible that even now, months later, the shadow and shape of the killer cannot be seen while that Master Frahamti takes command and searches for the killer? It's not like chasing Kosovar mud. The prime minister of the country is after the murderer who performed the summons.

(How come you haven't found it yet?

Something's getting more motivated.

A bad feeling slowly brings my neck to my heart.

Is Lady Frahamti hiding something?
