When I Returned From Another World I Was A Silver Haired Shrine Maiden

He heard footsteps from outside the room.

"Early Sue!"

With the voice I was accustomed to hearing, it approached me with momentum and stopped in front of the Ethereal Room.

I left sassy and pale.

Because I felt so ashamed that someone I know would see me sweet in the sky.

"Ali Su!? Are you there?

A noise broke out with Burn and a jade appeared in his uniform.

"Alice, I've finally met you..."

Jade, who confirmed my appearance, walked into the room and closed his jade with his back hand. My gaze is locking me on like a hunter who found his prey.

"I even went to Alice's house to pay my respects, but I can't believe I was here. The darkness under the lights is this... Ethereum, Alice is weak, but she hasn't done anything weird, has she?

"You can't do that... you, what do you think I am"

"…… libido monkey?

"Hey!? That's not terrible!?

"... well, I don't care."

Jade, who had just slashed the Ethereal Protest, approached me once and held me in his arms.

"Hih!?

"Alice finally found out... it was hard, wasn't it?"

Unlike Ethereum, I felt overwhelmingly soft. I wondered if my brothers and sisters were so different, but I felt more uncomfortable not listening to what Emerald said.

"Uh... Jade is about Alicia...?

Remaining stuck on a nice smelling, rich jade chest, I ask jade.

"……… Yes, I knew."

Why is Emerald talking about Alicia...?

When in doubt, Emerald continues to answer it.

"I've been watching and knowing Alicia's soul... and the day I found out about you, I asked Alicia about it and I asked her what happened."

Jade continues the conversation with a gentle stroke on the back of my head.

"If I look at the state of my soul, I can see to some extent the person's physical condition and health."

It was the ability to be a jade witch.

If you ask me, there are some verses that come to mind. When we weren't feeling well, it was always Emerald who noticed it earlier than anyone else (sometimes in person) and cared for us.

"Alicia consumes her soul's energy when she's in tune with Alice. The energy was healing while I was out of tune, and in the morning, it was all happening."

She must have recovered in the meantime because she was out of tune while sleeping.

"But as the months went by, Alicia's soul condition deteriorated...... it seems her energy recovery is slowing down gradually"

Talking about jade, I found out the real reason why Alicia decided to cut tune early in the evening or start making rest days.

She didn't want to, she didn't have a soul if she didn't.

"You didn't want Alice to notice that it was getting harder to stay in tune. Alicia seemed to be doing quite a bit of work... and Alicia's soul was in pretty bad shape the other day."

"Oh no..."

If the number of days off I spent a day a week gradually increased, it's likely that I'd be wondering about Alicia's condition, too.

My chest hurts when I think about Alicia, who did something I couldn't do to prevent it from happening.

"It's a lot more stable now than it was yesterday. So I don't think we're going to be in any danger any time soon... so maybe we'll recover soon enough to be in tune?

"Really!?

"I've been watching you for so long... you can trust me."

"Alicia is coming back......!

I can see Alicia again.

I feel like I found a light in the dark.

"But this is just a state of well-being. It doesn't change that Alicia's soul will disappear into a future that isn't so far away."

"……… yeah."

... Still.

It was totally better than just now I thought it could be a permanent breakup like this. Besides, if you talk to Alicia, you'll have a lead on finding a way to save her.

"You're going to help Alicia."

Jade must have guessed from my signs.

My arms hugging me are going to get stronger.

"Yeah, be sure."

"So have you heard from Alice's father yet?

"…… my father?

"Your father must be doing everything in his power to find out how to help Alicia. I've been working with you a lot, so I think you should listen to me for once."

"My father…………"

Hearing about it, I remember hitting my father with emotion this morning.

"What shall I do? Without knowing that, I said terrible things to my father……"

"Why don't you just apologize? I'm sure your uncle will understand."

Maybe Ethereum is right.

And my father realized that he might have deliberately said that in order to focus my anger spearhead on himself.

"…… Yes, you are."

I am reminded of my immaturity at the same time as the breadth of my father's nostalgia.

I am ashamed that I was meant to be alone with a brave man in another world.

"……… I'm going home."

When I proclaimed it, they nodded at the right time together.

These places are brothers and sisters......

"Just well...... and Yuna!?

When I opened the door of the house with the kind of awkwardness that I felt when I came home from the house, Yuna, with an unexpected look on her face, was waiting for me.

"... stay"

Yuna looks at my face and seems to be overflowing with emotions, breaking her expression and flooding her with tears.

"…… I'm sorry, stay……… I……………!

Tears spill out of Yuna's eyes.

I hurriedly took off my shoes and hugged Yuna, who cried.

"Yona, I'm fine..."

"Sorry......... sorry...... eh"

Yuna repeats her apology in tears.

"I don't need to apologize... Yuna kept her mouth shut about us, didn't she?

I make Yuna's embrace stronger.

"Ouch... uuch, uuch... Alicia, Alicia shit...!

but Yuna hugged me back to jump.

"Yeah… it was hard to keep quiet, Yuna."

I stroke my back with a pomp.

"Ugh... stay. Alicia……………"

If I had, I would have comforted Yuna, but my emotions would have swept in from my chest and my tears would have spilled out.

"……… Ugh, Yuna."

"... Egg... uhh... come on"

As if Yuna's grief, Alicia's grief, and my grief echoed and melted and mixed.

Remains full of emotions.

"Wow... hiccup..."

We held each other on the front porch for a while until we settled down and whimpered.
