2-06: Hero (1/3)

Shinichi was so immersed in his investigations that he even forgot to have lunch. After putting all of the materials back to place, Shinichi went to the eating area within the lounge of the library and found himself a seat.

It was a bit late, but Shinichi decided to have his lunch. He took out something wrapped in a large handkerchief from his bag.

This something wrapped in handkerchief was something that Rinko had given to him after he couldnt give her a clear answer on whether he was coming back home for lunch or not.

Boxed lunch! Alright!

Today too Rinko was happily fulfilling her role as a mother.

Shinichi never even told her ahead of time that he was going out. As such, she mustve prepared this boxed lunch just in case.

She gave it to him so naturally when he went out that Shinichi was left confused.

Behind that small body that did her job properly was a powerful person.

How she managed to end up married to his dad was still a mystery to Shinichi.

Still, I wonder why she filled my boxed lunch with nothing but sandwiches?

When Shinichi spread open the sandwiches, he saw that it was filled with brightly colored ingredients.

Her cooking leaned heavily toward western cooking, but he found it too difficult to point out.

He simply felt too much like a freeloader.

Shinichi really wanted to eat white rice and miso soup, but Shinichi just couldnt bring himself to say something so selfish.

HAMU, NGU Its no luxury, but it tastes good.

Because it was seasoned and made differently from convenient store food, it had a unique taste about it that made Shinichi eat it with relish.

Eating was one of the few things that Shinichi still looked forward to, so he enjoyed it to the full while thinking about the things to come.

Thanks to the improvement of the search function of books and articles, Shinichi was able to complete his investigation.

To be more precise, Shinichi had already exhausted his honest and upright sources. ButNew novel chapters are published on

Shinichi pondered where he could get more information on Garesto.

But as ideas were popping in his head, he suddenly hit the brakes.

Shinichi only came here to know what a normal person in this time period and world should know.

If he went any further than this, he would end up involving himself in that dark world behind the scenes of society.

Did he want to throw himself into the giant whirlpool that was the interaction between two worlds? Shinichi asked himself.

If the world they were interacting with was Falandia, then he would have to involve himself, as he would have a duty to.

The moment he was selfishly entrusted the mask, he had to become involved with the world hidden behind the society of Falandia.

But that had absolutely nothing to do with Earth or Garesto.

There was no reason for him to stick his head in something so troublesome.

Habits are really scary.

Shinichi wryly smiled. It really wasnt easy to get out of a habit thats been cultivated for two years.

Shinichi bought a can of apple juice from the vending machine and wet his throat.

That nostalgic taste and sweetness touched Shinichi, allowing him to reset his thoughts.

He had to investigate and think about things concerning his future.

Although his dad and his stepmom hadnt said anything, he couldnt stand still forever.

Given his age, he should be going to school But where?

In the first place, he had yet to study the basics taught in middle school, so perhaps he should start there.

Shinichi bit his sandwich and started chewing again as he wondered to himself what he should do.

He ate with great relish as he did.

Excuse me, but can you move aside?
