The Summoner is Going

Outside Tokyo.

It may be a little inconvenient for commuting, but the greenery is abundant.

I would say that the environment for parenting is very good.

She was watching the child playing in the garden.

The man beside her is her husband.

The opportunity to connect me with her was lost.

There's a reason fate's gear went crazy.

Eight years ago, I killed my grandfather.

After adulthood, you will be tried as a criminal.

I thought so. I fled abroad.

I was in Central Asia as a mercenary when I was supposed to meet her.

... took too long to integrate my memory.

I'm sorry, but I can't help it.

Still enough, I guess it pays off.

She's alive.

Every day I build a happy family and struggle as a housewife.

That's it.

I think that's it.

What will happen to her in the other parallel worlds?

I think so.

What would my identities be doing if they were sending me in?

... maybe just like me.

I'm sure he's killing Grandpa.

It won't be the same time, but you must be killing him.

I just hope it's not payback.

I leave this place when I burn her figure in my eyes.

I have something to do.

Promise time was running out.

"Don't make me wait!

I thought you were on time.

"Yes, but..."

Why did you make it a classic way to meet me?

Nothing in particular.

Two men in plain clothes who don't look good on the open terrace of Haruhi, huh?

I guess it stands out.

"Give me what you promised."

"Oh, you too!

Remove the laptop from the bag.

Continue with a simple virtual reality gear.

They're both up to date.

But from me, I'm not dressed to be a substitute for more than a generation ago.

Receive notes from men.

I handed him the envelope in exchange and he's not looking at me anymore.

I was starting to check the contents.

... Let it go.

In the note are URLs, plus IDs and passwords.

That's simple.

A man is an alpha tester of a game.

No, that's what was supposed to happen.

I bought that right.

Is it a hit this time?

The operator's registration information has been confirmed, and the probability seems high.

"Yay, that's not enough!

"I'll give you the rest when I'm done confirming. Sit down and wait."

"... you're being discreet."

"Naturally."

Fast fitting of gear.

Enter the URL and connect to the front page.

Is the name of the game multi-skilled online?

The design of the front page was a long time ago.

The title's going to be rolling somewhere, too!

I could have logged in.

Biometric registration has no function per se.

Login by old-fashioned ID and password, or?

Also check the character's default settings screen.

No registration has been made yet.

All right.

I logged out once I changed my password.

You can always create characters.

"Ok. Take this."

The man didn't say anything and got the envelope I gave him.

Quickly, count out the contents.

I cleaned out my laptop and simple gear in my bag.

I will wait for a moment with a cup of coffee that is about to cool down.

... you're using good beans, this.

It's a luxury you can't taste on the battlefield!

"... more than you promised, huh?

"Disgruntled?

"Yes, no, I'm not,"

"Then we have a deal. Shake hands?

I guess the man is happy from the bottom of his heart.

The power to hold my hand was too strong for a handshake.

In the meantime, he also peeks at his surroundings in a way that makes him feel restless.

Yeah, relax.

I'm completely suspicious from the side.

"Are you interested in this game of hands?

"No prying. That's the deal, isn't it?

"If you don't want to be asked, you should make a deal online."

"I want to see the face of the dealer."

"This one won't calm down."

I see.

Then just go transfer that cash to your own account!

And no need for extra chatter.

Stand silently.

I'm done with this one.

It's not technically over, but it's the end of the story.

The counterparty has been tailed.

I don't know who you are, but you must be a student.

So far, there's nothing suspicious about it.

Let's just set aside the day and double-check.

I felt the need to do so.

For a reason.

I was being followed.

Since when?

Since before the deal.

That's why I thought we needed to reconfirm the other party.

That's fine later.

The guy who's tailing me now is my priority.

It could be a thread approaching the operation.

No, maybe just some kind of official constitution?

Probably that way...

Well, fine.

In any case, we have confirmed the tail.

You can sprinkle it, but it's far away.

It doesn't matter if it's an official constitution.

If I have a job question, I have received it several times since returning to Japan.

No problem.

Just answer honestly.

Occupation, former mercenary.

Currently an investor.

What more do you want me to answer?

If it is possible that he has been arranged as a murderer.

But eight years seems to have changed my appearance dramatically.

I've never been detained.

I have some passports that I made during my time as a mercenary if I'm an ID.

It's all real.

If it is, there are multiple employee certificates for civilian military companies.

For once, there's no problem staying in Japan without a work visa, but...

Still, you should be on guard.

Being tailed is something that the regular police don't do.

Detective or public safety?

Well, that would be the place.

"Can I help you?

"Huh?"

The reverse tail was easy.

It is obvious that the other person is not used to it.

More confused by the figure of the tailor than that.

A young woman in a suit.

... This is different.

I don't smell the official constitution.

Why are you following me?

I have no reason to think of it.

"I knew you'd find out."

That's crazy.

Something was wrong.

It's not a face I know.

Yet this feeling I've known for a long time.

Who is it?

No, there was someone overlapping behind my brain.

"Keith, do you understand? I can tell."

"... Mr. Fina, huh!

"Yeah, yeah."

"How the hell?

"It'll be a long story, shall we?

She hugged me when she said so.

I wonder why.

I'm crying even though I can't see my face.

I thought so.

"I feel like doing this now. Okay?"

"Oh."

Hold her shoulder and answer that.

I see.

There are plenty of questions.

But right now, let's not ask.

Apparently, I'm not alone in this world.

That would have been enough.
