Trinitas Mundus

Ray dreamed.

When I was in Japan, I dreamed of going to high school.

Sleeping with both hands held by Ashley and Stella, he slowly opens his eyes.

And I remember when I was in Japan.

He lived in a local city in Kanto.

His raised home is a mediocre family, the quiet father and cheerful mother of a local official, and the second of four brothers, one sister and two younger brothers. My body is small and my lack of exercise is a complex, but I had no major trouble and I was in peace.

He had a passive personality, but a friend he could call his best friend. The friend was sociable, unlike a hundred and eighty degrees of people-friendly gratitude in character, but somehow the horses fit in and often played together from elementary school.

The friend, Ryuji Chenghai, was as popular as he had painted. Sport is like being the center figure of the class with its versatile, bright personality and its charisma.

Rei was always with Ryuji so he could have a peaceful boyhood without being bullied from elementary school to high school.

When he entered high school, he fell in love for the first time. I had remembered emotions similar to my admiration before, but it was the first time I had ever been concerned about her since the first moment I saw her and found her fascinating every time I saw her.

The woman, Runa Tsukiya, has always had top grades and is even better at sports. Especially in the bow, he was good enough to win a regional tournament as a freshman.

And Rin's bow-drawing appearance happened to be a reputation and an idyllic presence in the school.

Thanksgiving was one of those fans of hers.

He was good at his schooling, but he's always the kind of indoorsman who reads books in the library, and his only contact with her is his classmate.

I was feeling more complex in my appearance, especially about a hundred and sixty cm tall, and had given up on approaching her from the start.

(You were there on the cloud, weren't you? You could have just watched. Because when the seat was behind her, I was so happy to see her behind...)

And on his summer break in high school, he thought of writing a novel in an area called Light Novell that set the stage for the fantasy world.

He started writing a novel featuring the admired woman, Runa, who was in a pseudo-romance in a world called Trinitas.

(I made Luna the protagonist and projected myself to that sidekick. Yes, the way Ryan wanted to be me. Tall, powerful and talented. Characteristically, a hot, refreshing personality, the opposite of what I'm worried about. And it's a long way to keep thinking no matter what happens when you like it. Yes, Ryan was a character that reflected the personality he wanted to be in Ryuji's appearance... when I actually met him, it felt a little single-celled and I didn't see him around rather than all the way around, but I still admire that personality. Love one without shaping. Now that I think about it, it seems a little different from my ideals...)

Thanksgiving was reminiscent of Luna's story.

(... her father is a demon, her mother a human. A child was miraculously born between two people who are heterogeneous. But the conservative devil tribe, the ghost tribe, tried to annihilate the child as an abomination. It was not really a child of abomination, but a dependent generation of God called “Son of the Moon" … My mother flees from the land of the Devil Nation and into a small village close to the land of the Adventurer. By chance, the hunter of that village helped and Luna was born. My mother becomes the hunter's wife, and Luna grows up as the hunter's daughter... but when I was ten, a ghost tribe attacks my village and kills everyone but her. Coincidentally, helped by an adventurer who visited the village, she was to live as an adventurer... when God came down to Luna, disaster would be scattered across the world... this must have been the setting for sure)

His novel Trinitas Mundus, when she was sixteen years old and independent as an adventurer, the story had begun and had been interrupted where she had welcomed the demonic invasion.

(You're a pretty hard half-life... I was bullied at a young age, and all the people I knew were killed by demons, broken hearts by the adventurers who helped me, and I got to myself. That's when Ryan showed up. And that's me. The way I wanted to be, what I wanted to do...)

He was thinking about this world in the middle of nowhere.

(What is this world? I wonder why I wrote about this world. Did I make this world? That's impossible. Did someone tell you about this world while I was unaware?... Then it could be possible. imprinted about Trinitas on something like subconscious. I think that's what I came up with...)

That's where I remember Luna.

(If Luna is Mr. Tsukiya, Japanese high school students will have been reincarnated into this world. Why was Mr. Tsukiya chosen and how did I know about it? Mr. Tsukiya was chosen for his presence, and so did I. But why me?... maybe... maybe the other way around. Because I wrote in the novel, the existence that imprinted me about this world may have noticed it and called Mr. Tsukiya... it's not strange to be able to do that if it's distracting me... I can't say I never will...)

Ray is stunned by the idea.

(... If so, it could be the victim of a novel I wrote. Luna's turbulent half of her life was my idea. If she was put on that rail, I might have done a hell of a thing... of course, I didn't think that would happen. Because normally it's an impossible story... but in case it's my fault, I have a duty to prevent what happens next. Maybe I think too much. But if I can't deny the possibility, I need to take responsibility for her...)

Ray braced his stomach there.

(Luna, no, I don't know if I'm responsible for Mr. Tsukiya. It may be over-conscious of a mediocre man like me to bother her her. Maybe so...... still, I just have to do what I can! Let's go to Periclitle. And tell Luna, tell Mr. Moon Palace everything. And protect her from the demons. I just have to do everything I can right now...)

And alternately stare at Ashley and Stella sleeping while holding hands.

(These two are my family now. I don't want to involve these two...... If the demonic invasion starts, Pericritle will be ravaged. That's also for a powerful demon named Auga. And the woman in Periclitle is turned into a demonic “manufacturing” tool. I don't want these two to see each other like that. Just me this time is enough...)

After Ray wakes up, she wakes up with Stella, Ashley.

And the two of you are relieved that Ray is regaining his composure.

"You seem calm. I was worried about what would happen for a while... but if it went back to normal, that's fine."

"Yes, as long as you get it back, nothing's wrong"

After apologizing to the two laughing happily, "I'm sorry I was worried," Ray began to share his thoughts.

"I think I may have remembered everything. First of all, about Luna..."

He talks about Luna being a classmate who went to the same school as herself, who was in love with her, who made her the protagonist of his novel, who might have given her a test in that novel, etc.

"... maybe it's too much for me to think about. I also don't think my novel could affect the world. But in case it's my fault... Yeah, I think I have to tell Luna, even if it's not my fault. At least when she gets caught by the demons, it's a big deal. A terrible disaster could strike this world. So I'm going to Periclitle. And tell her and help protect the city"

The two of them listened to each other in silence until the end.

Even after I heard it, there were many stories that went beyond my comprehension and I couldn't sort them out in my head, so the words didn't come out.

After a while, Ashley opened her mouth.

"You're headed to Periclitle. That's what you decided."

To Ashley's squeezy inquiry, Ray shakes his neck vertically with a blown out look.

She looked at Stella,

"Then I'm going to Periclitle with you, too. And Stella, of course."

Stella nodded happily, but Ray shook his neck sideways with a slightly sad face.

"I'm going alone this time. You heard Dr. Raspade. What happens if Periclitle is occupied by the Demons? Two people who are dear to me are demons... please. Let me go alone."

At the end of the day I bowed my head big and he pleaded.

That word says, "Master Ray knows nothing!" Stella raised her voice out loud.

"Both me and Master Ashley care about you. I'll go with you if you want. Any dangerous place...... please, take me. Please…"

"Stella's right. You don't know anything. You think you could die and I could just keep you company in a safe place?

And take his hand,

"Remember Millis Valley. What happened to you then when Stella went to raid the Commander of the Middle-Ghost Clan? What did you say to your father? Think about it. What's left of it."

Ray opens his eyes like he was hit in the cheek by the words.

(That's right. That's when I went upside down enough to say something terrible to Mr. Hamish. I'm desperate that my people are on their way to the dead end and I can't do anything about it... this time I'm trying to be impotent. I wasn't thinking about the two people that would be left. But there's no need for all three of us to die. You two don't have to be without me...)

Ray noticed that and said, "Sorry. But..." Stella opened her mouth to Xu Momouro.

"I will follow no matter what. You may go alone. But I will always go after you."

And then he grins and adds, "Then wouldn't it be the same if we went together?"

Ashley smiled at Stella's words,

"Stella's right. It's not like Millis Valley. Me and Stella just have to go after you. Ray, that's what I'm talking about, give up and take him."

After he says, "But..." he smiles at both of us with a crying smile on his face.

"I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking about how you two felt. Let's go together. If the three of us are in danger, we can do something about it."

The three of them were holding hands together hard and smiling.

As I was grabbing breakfast in the dining room, Ginny came down.

notice that the three of them are solidifying themselves in their gear,

"What's going on? Are you still going on a demon crusade today?

Ray said, "I'm going back to Periclitle. I decided to lend a hand to the defense of the city," he said with a sunny smile.

Ginny realizes it's not what it looked like last night, but she was more concerned about why she was going back to Periclitle, where the danger was imminent than that.

"Isn't it dangerous? I don't know what to say, but I know you're amazing mercenaries. But it won't help just the three of us. Then you'd better stay safe..."

Ashley started talking before Ray answered.

"I'm going to know. But me and Stella, anyway, Ray can help one person. Whatever, it's the White Master of Millis Valley. This guy becomes wise as soon as it comes to battle. Lord Randall should be a good consultant."

"Ash, isn't that a little terrible right now? If it's not a struggle, it just sounds like wisdom won't turn."

Ashley and Stella laughed out when Ray said that with a slightly peeled face. Ray pretended to be peeling, but was soon caught and laughed out.

Ginny saw what it looked like,

(Looks like you blew something off. I think these people are going to do something about it)

After a laugh, Ray began to tell Ginny with a serious look.

"I need a favor from Mr. Ginny. I want the Auga story to flow to the Adventurer Guild, the Mercenary Guild, the Commercial Guild. I think we've already got the information, but I think someone who actually saw the situation in the city should talk."

"Okay. You should just relay the information. Is that all?"

"Catch a teacher at the college doing research on Monster Tame and ask him how to deal with the demons being manipulated. Whatever. Send me a letter if you have any information. Please."

"Okay. I wish I was here."

"Yes, because it is dangerous for a young woman to go to Periclitle..."

Ginny said, "You're paying attention. Thank you," he said, leaving the spot.

(You're a really sweet girl. You know the story of the demon summons, so you're careful not to let me go to Periclitle. If I were as strong as those two, I might have fallen in love with them, too. He's younger, and he's pretty cute...)
