The Struggle of Returning to The Other World

- What are you going to do after you have a piece on everything?

For a moment, I didn't understand the meaning of Noel's question.

Half-open your mouth and solidify it, and still in your head, make your thought circuit work desperately, trying to chew up the meaning of words.

Oh, what, what are you talking about all of a sudden?

"Bad. It's become an abstract way to listen"

Noel lay his eyes down slightly.

"When it turns out that the person who brought you back into this world can go back to the original world. I thought you wanted to go back to your old world?

To the original world...

Go home.

Naturally.

Other than that, there can't be an answer.

Yet why did Noel mention that now?

Too confused for words to come out right away.

"Well, I'm going home."

I still couldn't get out of the surprise and still managed to squeal like that.

"... of course, I'm going home. That's why I'm working so hard right now."

"Right."

Noel nodded.

To that look, surprise doesn't even look as dewy. Did you know my answer from the beginning?

"You said you were an orphan. Are you doing well with your step-parents?"

"Uh, yeah. I'm getting better."

"It's about you, so I guess you have a lot of friends over there"

"Other than that, not many. Rather, I think it's less."

As I answer, more and more I don't know why. How could Noel suddenly start talking about my world?

"You want to go back to the original world for them?

For my parents, for my friends...

Yeah, I couldn't snort right away.

I can't believe I'm going home for anything, because I never thought about it.

'Cause going home was the big premise in the first place, last time, this time. I didn't need a reason there. Rather, for me, it took a solid reason, albeit temporary, to be seated in this world. So I'm still glad I did last time. Seeking as a witch, it made sense to my existence.

But now.

I don't know why I'm here - I don't know what that means.

I'm finally trying to figure this out.

And the moment of understanding everything will surely coincide with my return.

To me in silence, Noel never showed any frustration.

Just be quiet, keep the word going.

"There are all kinds of useful tools in the other world that we don't have over here. What is it, an automobile instead of a carriage, was it? Or you could fly in the sky without magic."

"Well, you remember."

"I remember. Your story is all kinds of things."

I don't remember talking about such a big deal, but what else would "various" mean? I just get a little anxious because I don't remember myself.

"You want to go back to the original world because there's nothing convenient like that here?

"No, I'm not."

"So have you even left your lover in the original world?

"- You know what, Noel, what were you talking about earlier?

"I'm looking for a reason why you want to go back to your old world."

I don't know why, I'm getting a headache.

"You don't need a reason to go home. Because the world is different here. It's different worlds, you can't normally think of burying bones in different worlds, right? Even Noel, what would you do if you were in the opposite position? If all of a sudden you're brought into my world without any foretaste, don't you think you have to go home?

"Right - maybe I could just sit there like that"

No, you can't.

I can't talk to Noel today.

"I'm telling you, it's quite inconvenient that you can't use magic and you don't have any magic props. Besides, all the people are under the control of their identities, so suddenly they can't find a decent job for a person who comes down and springs up. Cities starve in the air, stars are barely visible in the night sky, and greenery is scarce."

"If that's the case, why don't you just stay here and not go home?

Yeah, say it and I'll say it!

"For once, there are some good places over there!

"Then I'll enjoy the good part too"

"Or Noel is the one! There's all kinds of things you can't leave in this world, right? In the presence of the country, he is also an escort to the witch. Yes, there's no way you can leave Master Ardina behind."

"Without me, another human being will serve as Ardina's escort again. That's all."

What, the way you put it.

I was angry with Noel like a human resource.

"Noel, that's just terrible to say. It's like you can throw away your lover easily."

"What? What lover?

"Dear Ardina!... and you're dating, right?

The clouds became slightly suspicious, so I weakened the end of the story slightly.

That's kind of crazy.

"- I'm not dating. Where are you picking up such a story, you?"

"Huh!? 'Cause that's what the city says."

"What does everyone in the city know about us?

"No?

"No."

Saying, Noel looked heartbroken.

Oh, uh, Noel and Master Ardina weren't dating!?

But it was a breeze that allowed each other to be mindful of each other, and they showed me a few times that we were talking to each other amicably. A public tale... was it just a public tale?

"You, how long have you thought that?

"... about a few days after being re-summoned, ask in the city"

"With a noodle"

I'm convinced, Noel nodded all the time.

"I had no idea what you were thinking, but now I think I finally know a little bit"

No, even if they say so.

Now my head is white.

"I didn't think I'd be the wingman to explain this now, but let me get this straight. I'm not dating Ardina, and I don't have that kind of emotion with me. I take care of Ardina because it's my job, and it's nothing more or less. I know it's over there."

Maybe Noel is a little angry.

"In the meantime, just understand that first. Switch between your head. Otherwise, there's nothing we can do about it."

Talk before that? Is there something you haven't heard yet?

At that time, Noel accidentally lifted his hips.

He leaves the teacup he was moaning with one hand on top of his chest and walks over here.

I also stood up reflexively and accidentally gripped my empty cup hard in front of my chest.

――

Noel stopped right in front of me.

A large hand reaches this way and takes away the cup that was squeezing with a loose hand.

"Don't be alarmed, do nothing"

When they say that, I'm ashamed of being over-conscious.

"Fine, go to sleep already today. Tomorrow we'll be on the move."

With that said, Noel turned his heel back with my cup and then his own.

"I know I can't help but hurry now. But you need to think a little more about me."

……

"Well, good night"

Noel's gone.

Pathan, and the closing sound of the door sounded slightly louder.

- And that night I could barely sleep.

The next morning.

With a completely sleepless head, I was hearing birds squeaking faintly from outside the window.

I don't know, this visibility.

I was lying on my back in bed looking back at the night yesterday when I could barely sleep.

The same thing happened before.

Noel, always come for the loose timing of the night. Thanks to you, I can't sleep at all after that, and I have to wonder if that was a dream in the morning.

I hit a turnaround with my heavy body.

Sleeping in the next bed, Mr. Quinn rests easily and adorably.

Yesterday, not long after Noel walked away, she was nicotine with a face like "I know everything," but she didn't get a specific pry. But I rather wanted you to say something. I wanted to get an objective opinion of what the hell Noel wanted to say.

'Cause I guess so.

I see that Noel and Lady Ardina are not dating.

But understand that, then what the hell was the story ahead of you? Noel said he couldn't help but rush it now, but he doesn't know what that means either.

I really don't know anymore.

Yet my heartbeat sounds as exaggerated as an early bell, stirring up feelings even if no responds.

Weirdly, I almost expect it.

Is Noel helping me, not just feeling obliged or sympathetic?

Is there a closer emotion there?

Closer...

(Oh, no more!

Think about me a little more, I can't believe Noel said that, but, you know, it's cowardly. If you say that all of a sudden without any hint, it's up to you to think about it a little more than limitless! I'm kind of pissed off!

(If Noel hadn't said that, there wouldn't have been anything bothering him)

Almost there, after the pilgrimage.

Some kind of answer was brought to you by Master Ardina.

I too would have been told the reason for this re-summons. Then I'm glad.

That everything between Noel and me ended with the first summons.

I was supposed to.

(Damn, you totally bumped it back)

How can I help you?

This, love for Noel.
