44 1. Reunion is in different worlds

"This place..."

Slowly awakening consciousness.

Miki Zhuyin realizes herself wrapped in soft bedding in a fine sleep.

Clean, touchy sheets. Warm, smooth blanket. Soft, moderately elastic bed.

From the night table, a gentle, warm light.

The room temperature is also kept comfortable and makes me feel like I'm staying in a hotel somewhere.

While recognizing his surroundings as blurry, Zhuyin almost let go of consciousness again. Was it lack of sleep?

Sure, I've been looking for a brave man lately to sleep......

"- Yes, brave man!

Zhu Yan, who woke up at once, literally jumps up with the blanket removed.

"Calm down. It's not good to wake up all of a sudden."

"Huh? Oh, yes..."

A kind voice.

It's like a mother telling her child, like a Virgin calling to a lamb.

Zhu Yin, who regained his composure with it, turned his gaze to the Lord of his voice as he sat in bed.

"Who...?

Out-of-phase with half of the face covered with crimson eye bands.

But that didn't hide her beauty.

I can tell that the raven's long wet feathery hair is so glossy that I actually want to touch it and make sure that it will be smooth just to see it. I didn't even feel like comparing it to my own hair that looked brown, although for some reason the pride of being Japanese inspired me.

I didn't quite notice because I'm wearing a robe that doesn't show my body line, but the style is good.

(or big tits......)

I don't know what to do with strangers, but this was also an honest feeling.

"No, I shouldn't have lost either..."

"I'm Alcia. He's one of Yuto's people. Is there somewhere painful or unwell?

"It's okay..."

"Yes."

A smile that reassures you of what you see.

"Yut, I'm resting. I've rewarded you. I'm already here."

And my face - I can barely see it - seems neat.

My lips, spinning words, are glossy again.

But what the hell is she, the brave one, who calls her "yut kun" to intimacy?

Friends? Lovers?

"No way, local wife!?"

"Zhuyin!

Yut appeared in front of Zhuyin, who ran rampant and outrageous about imagination - or delusion.

Just as suddenly as then.

But the result is the opposite.

He seemed taller and more rigorous than his childhood friend in memory.

It's as if even a very similar actor sees it, not Heavenly Grass Brave.

Unexpectedly, when I look good, I snap.

Not even realizing such a perplexity of Zhuyin, Yut rushes over in a white robe on his uniform.

"It's okay, calm down. You don't even have to use the teleport, do you?

Arcia's voice is deafening.

"But worried. No, it wasn't that I was anxious, but I'm still worried."

"Brave man..."

Alicia exhales giving up when she alternates between Yut, who is rarely able to afford it, and a visitor girl who circles her eyes in surprise.

"Ugh...... I'm going back to my room. I don't think so, but let me know if anything happens."

"Thank you, Alcia."

I'm not doing anything.

Did you distract me, Alcia, leaving the room?

The girlfriend stops.

"I'll prepare breakfast. Because not for very long."

"Oh...... I'll be careful."

"Then I'll follow up with Val, so you don't have to feel comfortable."

I couldn't respond to the last word, and Arcia didn't give me time to answer either, and I left the room.

Silence fills the room.

Yut, once again, faced Zhuyin.

The uniform is taken off and she's wearing a smock shaped piece instead of a pyjama, but of course Yut didn't make her change.

It's common nightwear in this world, and it belongs to Valtrude. Change of clothes, too, she did.

"Zhuyin..."

There is Zhuyin in this world.

All emotions go first, words don't catch up.

"Is your body okay?

"Yeah, you said that earlier. Except you're awake."

"Compromise me about that. I suddenly lost my mind and worried."

Confirming what he wanted to hear the most, Yut exhaled in relief.

Eyes down, head up.

The next word to say was decided.

"Sorry!"

There are no great magicians in the world (Archmagee).

Home slaughter that divides the Count's house, albeit emerging.

Such a yuut bowed his head.

It would be surprising to see those who know Yut in this world, but that doesn't matter now. Where it wasn't dirt, on the contrary, it was an apology that I even felt sincere.

"Don't apologize, you idiot!

But that has nothing to do with Zhuyin.

It was a flashing Zhu noise for a moment, but I jumped out of bed with a gushing doubt and anger.

Without even realizing she remained barefoot, she slaps Yut's chest over and over again.

"I was so worried."

"I'm sorry."

"... I said don't apologize"

"Yeah."

"Worried"

"Yeah."

"It's good to be alive..."

"... thanks"

Zhuyin's arm drooled without power.

Take that hand, Yut lets her sit in bed. It was such a natural operation that it returned to bed with no Zhu noise.

Yut, who naturally and lightly confirmed it, sits back in the chair where Arcia was sitting.

"Something, aren't you used to treating women?

"Huh? It's sudden."

Yut frowned when he didn't know what they were saying.

"No consciousness... This needs to be interrogated."

Determined to keep a note on my mind's notebook...... I realized I had more important questions. I didn't realize it was too big.

"I mean, what's a different world? Are you insane? Even the clothes..."

"I know what you're trying to say. But first, ask me what you're apologizing for."

"Whatever, I've decided I'm gone on my own"

"There's that too, but that's not all..."

Yut opens his mouth as he relieves his childhood friends who have cooled him down.

Apart from involuntary exercise, even though I was prepared, my heart was beating hard.

"This is a different world than Earth. Actually, it's my fault that Zhu Yan is here right now."

"... what?

It's not like I didn't hear you.

It's just that my brain refuses to understand.

"Well, because of Yut, I'll be asking you all about it later. First, let me talk to you. Where and why the brave man hasn't come back and I'm here in the last six months"

"Right..."

Where shall we start talking?

That's what I was thinking. Yut's thinking stops.

"Six months?"

Seven months, to be exact.

"Seriously......"

Is that the first difference there, that's the other world?

While I'm weird impressed, I can't possibly not explain it.

"Zhu Yin, don't be surprised"

"Why are you so surprised?"

"It's been two years since I've been here."

"I mean, like this?

Zhu Yan, who was nervous at first, seemed to blow up that mood as we talked. Despite the brief length of the piece, he starts pursuing Yut by wearing a claw over the bed.

"Involved in the ritual of trying to revive a bad demon king, coincidentally, the other world? Are you sure you want to be in a different world?

"I'm in trouble when it's emphasized there. And the blue covenant world."

"Anyway, you moved the world. So I became a wizard and defeated the Demon King."

"I'm not a demon king... Well, the big muscles aren't wrong."

Yuut affirms as he turns away from his chest, which is accentuated because of the outfit that holds the hem by hand.

"So I was helping run the territory until I got home..."

"You can't go home anymore"

"Oh."

"That's not all, he even came to me for some reason"

"I'm surprised, seriously"

"And so far, there's no way for me or Yut to go home,"

"I really don't know what to say..."

Once again, the story reaches there, and Yut sneers again.

"There's nothing to forgive. Nothing, it's not anyone's fault. Oh, I'm sorry about those people who tried to revive the Demon King."

"It's not the demon king, it's the helix of despair..."

That's what Yut said, but his expression was visible and bright.

The unchanging attitude of childhood friends who will see each other again for a long time will probably be the reason why the worries, albeit partial, have been iced away.

"By the way, brave man"

"What?

"Now that we're talking, I don't know why we're running out of time."

"I don't know that either. It's 24 hours a day, 360 days a year, so it can't be that far off..."

"Is it no use thinking deeply?

"Oh. I can think of a lot of possibilities, but you have no decision-makers, no certainty, no significance"

Exhaling, Zhuyin corrected his residence.

"You've grown brave."

And stroke Yut's cheek to make sure.

The movement escalates gradually, moving rampantly to bring in the thought of whether he had tried to envelop it with both hands, and his hands crawl along not only to his face, but also to his neck, arms and flanks.

It's been a long time since I've said so, and it's been a well-done act for a long time.

But accepting it with a promise is a problem. Yuut, who remained on the way, just floated the tannic surface.

"It's been a long time since I've been hit, but that's kind of humiliating"

"Once again -. Glad to hear it."

"What, that unfounded confidence?"

"Childhood intuition, I guess."

Zhu Yan frees his childhood friends who are getting older after saying the right thing.

"Good if you're satisfied..."

"You'll be fine for a while."

I don't know what's okay, but the childhood smile I was used to seeing is back, so let's be good.

"Still, are you serious about the other world?

"Seriously or nothing, that's the truth. You've heard of parallel worlds, right?

In fact, the only sight Zhu Yan has seen in this Brewers is still that underground cavity and this room. It would be natural not to believe it.

If Yut hadn't been the explanator, he would have made more noise.

"It would be more convincing to be told that it's still another planet or that it's the future Earth. Wasn't there a Statue of Liberty buried somewhere?

"Hey. Besides, I'll explain, but I'm not trying to convince you..."

Yuut laughing bitterly while acknowledging Zhu Yan's statement.

Zhu Yan gets mysterious satisfaction after seeing how Yut is like that.

"Besides, you think brave men can use magicians and magic? What do you mean?"

"You have no choice, because when you study, you can use it now"

"You studied"

"When I was able to use it a little, I was left alone in the woods hunting monsters and stuff."

"Oh, my God, forced leveling?

"The result is aurai..."

Don't you want to remember much, Yut shakes his head and shakes off his abominable memories.

"Zhuyin, you're really okay with your body, right?

"How worrisome is that?"

"Then it's good. Let's go outside for a moment... That's not a good outfit."

Yut remembers why he wasn't looking directly at me, trying to put his robe on Zhuyin's shoulder, on the brink of remembering.

"... what?

"No, he couldn't wear it unless he could use a science spell."

"My childhood friends are game brains in different worlds, what do you think I should do?

"Because it's true. You can't wear it, or when you wear it, your body gets super heavy and you feel sick."

"Isn't that an item of curse...?

It rocks with the desire to nod and argue to the most too many opinions, but not if you're doing that.

Yut, who had generously left the room, returned with a cloak of substitution.

"I don't want you to be alone all of a sudden..."

"Oh, I'm sorry"

"Well good, but what's that black and plain?

"It's a magic device that keeps the heat and cold out of your thermal coat (Corsiness Cloak)."

Have you come with a magic item?

Zhu Yan remembered the sound of war.

I don't hate games like that. Anime and cartoons are more appealing than the average person.

But when fantasy becomes reality, it really pulls me off.

"It's cold out there."

"Huh? It's summer... and you're out of season"

"Oh, that's the thing"

Yut opens the armor door as we make each other recognize each other.

At the same time the dry, cold winds of winter blow in......

"Cold... isn't it?

I don't feel cold at all.

On the contrary, comfort itself.

"Exactly, it won't work if it's somewhere like Antarctica."

"That's enough. Even on Earth like this..."

"Finally, you seem to believe me."

Yut has a flirtatious grin.

Behind that smile, a thermal jacket - because it also has the effect of increasing resistance to magic - can hide the secret of making more than a thousand gold coins.

There is no need to make a lot of noise when it comes to making five or ten million yen in Japanese yen. Likewise, I also need to say that I left it in the treasure trove because it's not very usable.

It should be noted that although magic appliances in general can be said, they do not deteriorate over time or cause dirt, so no matter how long they are left unattended, they are as good as new.

"Sooner or later, it will be broken."

"What?"

"No, let's go outside for a little while"

Yut, who had Zhu Yan standing on the floor with his barefoot, removed the spell from his pocket and detached it for three pages.

"Flight"

A page of spell documents spins around the two of us, turning into a white light and disappearing.

Come on, let's go.

Take my childhood friend's hand, and Yut floats in the universe.

As he was dragged, Zhuyin also flew through the sky, hurrying to hold the hem of his clothes in the hands of those who were empty.

You two stay out the window.

"Phew..."

I don't feel the cold, but the wind rocks Zhuyin's semi-long hair and strokes my cheeks.

But that was refreshing.

Night.

You'll never get it in the city, deep darkness.

Beautiful night.

The stars are blinking as if they had scattered grains of light. It was Zhuyin without astronomical knowledge, but I could see at a glance that it differed from the night sky you see on Earth.

The moon that draws true circles is also bigger and brighter than we see on Earth.

And there's a yut beside me.

"What do you say?"

"Sounds like Peter Pan."

"I see. If you ask me,"

I found it somewhat painful to say Wendy, but of course I wouldn't put it in my mouth.

"But I still feel used to it."

"I've done this, I've done other things... I do"

"I knew it."

"The other guy was a dwarf. Of course, man."

"Huh, haha. I'm here, Dwarf."

"I'm here. It's probably the biggest force in the city."

I don't have to worry about falling if I don't, but Yut held Zhuyin's shoulder and stationary at a height that the city of Falve could see.

As yet, the population has exceeded a thousand.

A developing city.

But an important place that didn't even let the spider subgods invade.

The light of the street light, which has finally been installed recently, informs Zhuyin that there is a profit for people there.

"The world I spent. It's the city we built."

"This is..."

The two of them watched the world without ever getting tired of it.

How much would you have done that?

The eastern sky stains the Zhu, and the sun rises one by one.

It's dawn.

"No matter where you are, no matter where you are, you must visit in the morning."

"Oh, yeah...... whoops"

To Yut's grand sneeze, Zhu Yan laughs out loud.

Think about it, this may have been the first time I've laughed since I came to this Brewers.

"Time to go back"

"Right. Oh, my stuff, was it coming this way?

"Oh, that's that carry bag. You're safe. You were just about to go on a trip?

"It's something similar. I have to pack."

With that talk, the two return to the castle fortress in Falve.

Thus, the otherworldly life of Miki Zhuyin marked the beginning.
