My name was a couple of regular boys' high school students...

In the past, there are circumstances.

That was prompted by an accident that occurred on a school trip in the spring of my first year of high school, not long after I enrolled.

I was out on the observation deck alone on a nocturnal ferry and in the night breeze, I accidentally cross the fence and fall into the sea.

The sea at night was just so dark and cold - I lost my mind without having to fight the imminent death.

It was in a stranger's temple that I regained consciousness.

"O brave man, save us"

It was the girl in the white costume, like a priest, who came out of the game, who spoke to me as if he didn't understand the situation.

The girl, with clear silver hair and fantastic vibes, basically knelt down in front of me.

"My name is Alicia, a witch who serves the Spirit God Minstia."

The girl - Alicia said I was drowning and wandering the border between life and death - was summoned by her to another world. And this world that I was summoned to is in danger of the annihilation of mankind by the Demon King.

Alicia asked me to crusade the Demon King. The reward is to let them return to their original world.

If I hadn't been summoned, I wouldn't have had a choice but to drown and die.

I have the power that mankind in this world does not possess.

- And it's been about a year since I traveled with Alicia.

After a long journey of misery, we arrived at Demon King's Castle and finally defeated the Demon King.

But the Demon King's final counterattack puts a stupid big hole in my belly - it was a discussion.

I stopped Alicia from trying to hang her healing magic while she cried.

Recovery magic is not omnipotent.

It was obvious that I was too late.

I feel thoughtless.

I leave my family and friends behind.

At least, I wanted to apologize for a word.

And then...

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ikto. I, because of me………"

I wanted to tell the girl who was crying out of her eyes, holding my hand with both hands, that she didn't have to apologize.

But the only thing that comes out of my mouth is dry air, which is not a meaningful word.

"Ikto kept his promise to me… so now it's my turn"

There was an appearance of Alicia chanting a spell she had never seen in her dimming sight.

"I will surely return you to your original world. For that I..."

Alicia's face is within reach.

Her face approached and her vision filled her, and the soft feeling, touching her lips, touched her.

'... oh, I knew this girl was cute'

That's the last thing I thought of in this world.

"- Yi-Yi-Yi-K. - Mr. Yikt!

A voice.

A voice I've been totally familiar with in my ears over the past year.

I'm weak in the morning, and I was often woken up like this on my journey.

Would she be angry if she found out that Alicia's voice, calling her own name, was comfortable and sometimes deliberately slept in "Madoro"?

'Mr. Ikto, please wake up!

"Okay, Alicia..."

I feel uncomfortable with my voice I responded to.

Moving the body caused the savings to hurt.

In the past year, I was almost ready to be a boarding house, but did you sleep somewhere else last night?

Explore memories to remember yesterday.

- And the next moment, I remembered everything.

"What about the Demon King!?

I jumped up in a hurry to check the perimeter.

The place where I was was was like a sandy beach, with the ocean stretching out in front of me. There is no such thing as a demon king or a demon around.

"Mr. Ikto, I'm glad..."

Alicia's voice was heard during (...) of the head (...).

I look around in a hurry, but there's still no one there.

"Alicia......?

Again uncomfortable.

Was my voice this high?

And………

Face down and look at your hands.

That's not my hand, it's a luxurious, white little hand that's been filled with verses for a year.

When I felt the weight wrapped around my head and did my hand, an unlikely amount of hair touched my hand.

Pick one of those delicate touches and I'll put it in front of you.

Clear silver hair.

It's like she's...

'Please calm down and listen. Mr. Ikto's soul is in my body.'

"Uh...? Alicia, what are you saying..."

The voice out of my mouth is not mine.

'I had no other means. The only way to save Mr. Ikto is to transfer his soul to my body using the distortions that occur during the world transition…'

Being told such a shocking fact, I just had to listen to Alicia.

'... I'm sorry'

With Alicia's words of apology, I finally regain myself.

"Sorry this way...... I was so surprised and confused"

I need to thank the rabbit and the corner.

"Thank you Alicia. He was dying to help me."

'Excuse me. I could only help Mr. Ikto in this way......'

"Don't apologize, Alicia...... uh, by the way, how do you get it back?

'There isn't. Mr. Ikto's original body had already been deactivated. Even if you can block the wound, there is no way to restore your soul to its body… Besides, the castle of the demon king, where Ikto's body was left, has separated the world'.

"That's..."

I looked around again.

There are no signs of people or demons.

What you see in the sea is an inland sailing vessel on a fishing boat. Coastal concrete behind. Trash such as empty bags of familiar snack treats and plastic bags are launched on the beach.

Whatever you think, this was a beach in Japan.

Besides, I recognize this place.

It is a seawater bath about an hour's walk from home.

The wind is still a little cold... if the other worlds and the flow of time go hand in hand, the season should be around spring after about a year.

"Am I back………"

Return to Japan alive.

That was the wish that the past year has even been asking for. I feel so clapped out knowing that was fulfilled at some point.

In the first place, I still don't have the feeling that the showdown with the Demon King is over.

"I'm sorry. I can only fulfill my promise to Mr. Ikto this way..."

"So don't apologize. More than that, can Alicia go back to normal?

"I moved my soul a little forcefully… it is impossible to take only my soul out of this body."

"No!? So you're saying Alicia's in this state for the rest of her life? Why do you do that…………………"

'It is my vow to return Mr. Ikto safely to Japan. Mr. Ikto fulfilled his vow with me to defeat the Demon King. That's why I fulfilled my vows. "

"So..."

Alicia has been raised in the temple for sixteen years since she was born, as a witch who serves the gods of the other world.

Alicia said that she had spent her training days from an early age to fulfill it, given the mission of standing together on a journey and defeating the Demon King as a squire of brave men coming from different worlds.

When the battle was over and the mission was gone, he said there were some things he wanted to try.

Yet………

'It's okay about me. More than that, why don't you decide what you're going to do now? Tell me about Mr. Ikto's world. "

I'm not convinced yet, but Alicia was right. You should just calm down more with her and then talk slowly.

"... for now, let's go to my house. Because it's about an hour's walk from here."

'I understand!

I am anxious that my family will believe that I am a few.

I was the tallest boy in my class. That's what Alicia looks like now, a little silver-haired girl, even if she's said to be in elementary school.

It seems Alicia was born on the same birthday as me in another world, but she is young enough not to look the same age at all. "My witch's covenant with God has stopped me from growing my body," he said in person, but I don't know if it's true.

"… well, can you handle it?"

The years I've built up as a family are not Dada.

I'm the only one who knows how many memories I have of my family. It occurred to me for a moment how I would explain to others and what I would do with the family registry, but for now I decided not to think about it.

"How are you all doing…………?

First, I want to see my family.

I think of my parents and sister in the back of my brain.

And then I started walking towards home where I should go.

- Finish your journey to another world for about a year.
