The Struggle of Returning to The Other World

"You were late."

"Shh, excuse me"

Unexpectedly I stretched my spine to Mr. Ordis's awesome voice.

He said he had taken a trip here before greeting the restaurant, but that didn't seem to satisfy him.

"Um, there's been a lot going on back here, and I'm a little bummed. Of course not. But I thought I had to go say hello to Mr. Ordis."

Not Mr. Luna, but he became eloquent in vain out of a hurry.

After such a boring glance at me, Mr. Ordis turns to his desk again and puts on a ton of paperwork with the pen at hand.

"Oh, no, Master Ordis told us to leave, Corey."

"Oh, yeah"

Immediately reacting were Mr. Luna and Mr. Corey.

"I would like to ask Mr. Hulka to tell us a lot about himself during his absence, but if it is our master's request, we have no choice. Okay, Corey, I'll be there."

"Yes, sir. I'll see you later, Mr. Hulka. I'd love to hear about your country souvenir."

Waving flirtatiously, the two of them left the lab.

I wanted to talk to them more, but I had no choice. On the contrary, we have to thank them for their awareness.

"I hear the Witch Pilgrimage was a success."

Mr. Ordis shrugged so, keeping his face off the paperwork.

"Ah, yes. Looks like your temper has been corrected safely."

"Like, what? Isn't that what you did?"

"I didn't do anything. It could have been as good as a trigger...... It was Lady Ardina who corrected the pulse."

"It would be enough to trigger it. The witch was no longer in all directions, and she was about to make a sound."

"But you got back on your feet. It's okay now."

I know it's not that easy. But I'm sure Master Ardina needs to break no more, that's what I want to believe. So dare I say it out.

"Oh, so, thank you for this bracelet"

I took off the bracelet I had been wearing on my left hand for a long time.

"Mr. Ars, no, I don't think Mr. Ordis would have been able to do this here and now if he hadn't helped me with this bracelet when he was about to be taken away by Lady Frahamti's men"

"Keep it on, keep it on"

"Uh, okay?

- You're gonna stay in this world.

Mr. Ordis stopped the pen again and turned this way.

"Why didn't you leave?

"Huh..."

"Did you go home on your own and feel sorry for Ardina to be further disputed? But if I were you, Ardina and this world wouldn't know what to do."

"... others said something similar"

I guess I'm crazy.

Sometimes you can't hate Master Ardina for forcing me to re-summon you. Sometimes I'm starting to feel a little reluctant to leave the royal palace that used to use me as a witch and now just as a "former" witch. - There were a lot of things I didn't like, but still, there are things I want to see a little more about the end of this world -.

"Mr. Ordis. Sorcerers used to say they were more attracted to chaos than to beauty and tidiness."

That word I remembered unexpectedly fits me strangely well now.

"It is chaos that lurks the truth of the world," he said.

……

"I'm not going to be a magician, either, but I think I know a little bit. I think maybe, finally, I'm really starting to face this world."

I once spent time being worshipped, beautifully decorated, and cherished like a doll with a witch, a witch. At that time I was never intrigued by this "world" itself until the end. Even if I find a little joy or pleasure in every day and feel happy about it, it didn't make a decision to tie me to this land.

(But not now. Like they pull my hair back, I can sew it up)

I realize that the world I was feeling like a crop is breathing.

I touched the kindness of people. And I also touched the selfishness of people. If anyone could help me, some would push me away.

(Oh, I don't know, maybe I'm finally figuring out how I feel)

I'm starting to like this world for what it is.

"-Interesting"

Mr. Ordis lifted the edge of his lips slightly.

Is this "interesting" in a positive sense? No, maybe it's rather ironic. I don't know what this guy thinks.

"If you want to stay in this world, you should go to the magic lab."

"Huh?"

"I'll tell Corey and Luna to take care of you. Learn magic again."

"But I have no more magic. Isn't that what Mr. Ordis himself said when he was reunited with Mr. Ordis?"

"I said," I can't see the madness. "

What difference does that make?

"It seems that you used to use your magic as a" witch of another world "instead of magic. Now that" divinity "is out of the way, I'm asking you if you should make an effort to bring out your magic while you're asleep."

"What, are you saying that magic can be used by me, too, regardless of the witch or something?

"Depends on your talent. If you can learn how to control your own magic, the effectiveness of that bracelet should increase dramatically."

I dropped my eyes on the bracelet at hand.

… I think it was already super powerful enough, but will it be even more powerful? I'm a little scared.

But that's a great, thankful suggestion, isn't it?

"Thank you. Let me through."

I nodded with momentum.

If you were to go to Mr. Ordis, Lady Frahamti would have no complaints either.

Besides, it's exciting that magic might work again.

"Mr. Ordis. Keep up the good work."

When he lowered his head with a dust, Mr. Ordis hummed his nose.

Even a little bit, I felt like he recognized me, and I was more than happy with that.

Shortly thereafter, Noel picked me up at the Magic Institute.

Comparing Noel and Mr. Ordis, who are a bit of other manners to the extent of having an administrative conversation, these two still secretly hold the sentiment that horses don't fit, etc.

Nevertheless, either way, it may be Noel who feels bad about it. Mr. Ordis is pointing a meaningful gaze at Noel...

I don't know, maybe something happened to the two of us where I don't know.

After that, I was in a bit of a hurry.

I ended up living in the royal palace, although there was a lot going on.

Although I have a desire to live and continue to work in a fixer, I still can't live away from the royal palace because the situation is the situation. I cut off "Let me live as I please" from Lady Frahamti, but it's not like I want to do what I want until I cause trouble around me.

But I wasn't even supposed to have a day without any connection with a fixer.

As a result of Noel's efforts in the shadows, ostensibly, I was sent by a fixer to work in a dining room in the royal palace, where I was given a room as a servant.

I didn't have cooking skills myself, so it was painful to get the title of dispatch from a fixer, but Rick, the cook who kept going to the fixer, had mastered your husband's moves and was starting to play an active role, and what he said to welcome me was coupled with his determination to take care of me in the dining room.

Even when we met quickly, Rick, whom I hadn't seen in a long time, was very happy not to think of reuniting with me. Just having Hulka in this dining room reminds me of the warm air in the fixer and makes me work fine - my God. I know it's lip service but I'm still happy with it.

Besides, he said that my presence is already famous within the royal palace, as well as the lunch delivery era. My presence was welcome even in that sense, as you can expect a great deal from the advertising effect of "I have a delicious diner sign daughter in this dining room."

Yeah, maybe, it's like a mascot character, right? If that's the way it is, I want you to use me as much as you want.

Besides, it was me who watched your husband and your father work at the diner, and he also asked me to actively advise the cooks in the dining room if I noticed anything, which was a tightening thought again.

New environment.

It's kind of amazing, I'm looking forward to it.

And -.

A month and a little after returning to the royal palace.

For the first time in a long time, I was supposed to take a trip to a fixer.

The truth is, I wanted to go back to the King's Capital and meet the diner's husband, his wife, and Senna first. But before you do, you have to calm yourself down first, tell yourself over and over again that it's from then on that you're going to see them.

Today, that finally comes true.

"It's been a long time since you've seen the owners of a fixer, hasn't it? Harka, aren't you a little nervous?

For some reason, Mr. Ars is the one who talks to me next to me.

... Why is this guy here!

And I just want to sue you out loud, but I can't do that either.

Because it was a long time before I left the royal palace to act alone, so someone had better stay on Shigeru's side, and it was this Ars who was promoted to "who is it".

This is Lady Frahamti's suggestion. As my guardian, Noel, didn't seem to think very well either, but there's nothing strange about it as a story, so if you say no to the murmur, the horns stand.

Instead, his arms are on top of certainty, he hasn't even become too famous all over the city like Noel, and on the contrary, Mr. Ars is very good at his activities in the midst of a single common man. Definitely a candidate. I'm pretty sure...

"Mr. Ars, never interrupt your reunion with your husbands."

"Terrible, Harka. Instead, what if this makes Noel follow you? It's obvious there's no hippo in the aftermath of the reunion after all the fuss, is there? Instead, you can thank me for being so happy with you."

……

On the contrary, I can't say anything because I have both two and three reasons.

With complicated feelings, I left the royal palace with Mr. Ars.

If you go through the main entrance of the royal palace, the main street that follows is very busy.

That's the king's capital, every city you've ever been around on a pilgrimage is on a different scale.

Merchants entering and leaving the royal palace and women working in stand-up positions at the shops located on the left and right. I wonder if the carriage drove off right on the side of the young man performing the street arts, rattling and making noises, while the old man sits back in the abyss of a stone flower bed relaxing in the sun.

The landscape I should have seen was very fresh.

Oh, good. I knew it would be nice.

"Still, Harka, you decided to stay over here after all"

Mr. Ars, who was walking next door in such a distracted manner that he didn't think he was an escort, accidentally grumbled so.

"Are you sure? Maybe it's what he thinks it is."

That man, that must mean Master Frahamti.

"... yeah. Nothing, it's not like I want to disagree with anything that he does. It doesn't matter because this time we happen to have a mutual interest."

"Really? Before you realize it, maybe you're being manipulated like a good one?

"If that's what you care about, you can't live."

"Ha, can't you live,? That's a big problem."

"It's not funny.... I think everyone lives caught up in the thoughts of someone around them. I've been that way ever since I was born, and because I came to this world, I knew I did."

But not from now on.

This second summons is starting to make me feel that way.

"Going forward, I'm sure it won't change someone dragging me down and getting caught up in it and living. But at that time, I think it's up to me to think for myself and decide whether or not I had the will."

"I see."

In an indistinguishable manner, both disgusting and admirable, Mr. Ars roared.

"Um, I knew it would be nice, Harka."

"What do you mean?

"Hmm? I mean, in just over a decade of my life, around opening up so much enlightenment, respect. It doesn't matter if it's right."

"That, disgusting?

"And you know what, anyway, you're gonna give me a cold spot or something."

……

I only slightly distanced myself from Mr. Ars.

"Well, don't run away. That's why I figured Noel wouldn't do it to me?

"I won't."

"I was wondering if you could think about it for a second."

"I'd like to see a woman scorned by a scattered man before."

"Well, I have to get my honor back from now on."

The journey seems to be long, Mr. Ars said, with great stretch.

Really, I'm not sure what this guy thinks either. Lady Frahamti and a good Mr. Ordis, it seems like there tends to be a bunch of mysterious thought men all around me.

Slowly down the street with such a light slap.

It wasn't long before I saw a nostalgic fixer.
