Vol 1 Chapter 4 (2/2)
”Anyway, understanding the current situation is the top priority We also have to have a strategysoon”
”That's fine, but where are we going? To your company?”
”That's fine, but it is a little dirty We'll stay overnight at Canaria Foster Ho by tomorrow”
───Izayoi's eyebroitched He looked like he wanted say so about the current situation, but he didn't have any particular co for later
In order to co towards their destination - Canaria Family Home
Then suddenly, Izayoi looked up at the sky
(Which reminds meHomura and the others, I wonder where they fell in Little Garden?)
───”Great waterfall of Underwood”, the guest room within the Great Tree
Sleeping on the straw bed, Ho with the waking of his senses, his body felt so heavy that even si his body was out of the question
(Where, is this?)
While facing up, he started to confirm the situation he was in now
Judging from his physical condition, he has presumably slept for about half a day The body sensation he felt see his body for around half of the day rather than froue
The only question re was the location of this place
Looking up, there was nothing like illumination, instead there was only a lamp placed within this wooden built room As for the reason why he felt a sense of discomfort in that room, it was due to the fact that he was not able to see any seam no matter where he looked It seee tree
(Which re,that ridiculously large tree Where we carried over there?)
If that is so, then this was probably inside of that large tree
His limbs did not seem to be bound Certainly, it seemed to be a safe place However, just when Homura turned his head sideways to look at the interior of the roo objects besides the bed
””
───Usaa!
Along with that sound, two protruding objects[1] perked up
While he was still half asleep and dizzy, Homura tilted his head and wondered ”What’s that?” as he stretched his hand towards them and pulled
”Tei!”
”Fugyaa!”
A shriek ca with it, a loli with usamimi hopped up
”Wa-Wait a minute! I silently consented up to the point when you touched thei's lovely usa yourself, what do you think you aredoing!?”
”It was done out of curiosity”
”That excessively carefree states deja vu is banned!!!”
With a ”Spaaan!”, the Usamimi Loli hit his head with a paper fan she took out from somewhere
───Yea, at this point, nothing more can surprise me
After witnessing that ox shaped cumulonimbus cloud and ox-headed Minotaur
Even if one or two irls appear, it won't be a surprise anymore Compared to that, one, two, three or four usamimis are too cute for one’s sake
Above all else, he didn't feel anythat there were no hostile intentions
”Uhh, first let i, right?”
”YES! Kuro Usagi saved you!”
”I see Then, once again, thank you very much Aside froht?”
He indirectly asked about the other two's safety While understanding the i frankly smiled and nodded
”That’s right Suzuka-san only has a bump on her head, while the other personAyato-san suffered fro However, thanks to the treat around outside!”
Seeing that Kuro Usagi's words held no lie in the him peace of mind
”Thank God Kuro Usagi seems dependable”
”YES! Please have faith in me! By the way, it's about tiht?”
”Yep I'ou Hoi” a nickname?”
”While you could say that, it's also i!”
He slightly nodded while holding back a tsukkomi Since if such was a part of their customs, he would have any qualms with itt
Now that he was fully awake to calirl
From her stature, she looked about 10 years old, but her responses were unexpectedly fluent
He wasn’t able to see it froood, and at a glance, she appeared to be a bit older The ly well arranged and had abeauty
”Uhh, then, Kuro Usagi I have few questions to ask, would that be okay?”
”Of course But before that, let's join up with the other two, shall we?”
”Of course, please lead the way”
”YES! Well then, let's go!”
With an ”Usaa!”, Kuro Usagi's usamimi stood up as she advanced
Homura then put on his already dried coat and followed after her
The corridor that he thought was inside of that large tree was actually a wooden space It seehtly high humidity
Listening closely, the sound of floater could be heard from somewhere
(Although the grains are similar to the likes of a camphor tree, but it couldn't possibly be raised to such a colossal height)
After all, it was definitely a work of a power different from the laws of nature that he knew
While his curiosity was itching a little, it was better to follow this usaot lost or so
Kuro Usagi was quietly giggling as she glanced back at Homura's tensed up expression
”Fufu, I'm surprised I have heard froly quite obedient Though, at first you were very confused”
”You know Iza-nii?”
”YES! Izayoi-san is a i He was suo, wasn’t he?”
Three years ago───As aas her But from Homura and others' o
(Does the flow of ti of which, it was lucky for this to happen during Golden Week Or in a worse case, this ht have become a case of disappearance)
Well, the school building recked to that extent Even when Golden Week is over, the school won't be opening for a while Whileinside the great tree
After walking for a while, a sound like that of a steam whistle was heard froreat tree
Homura asked as he listens to the unexpected sound
Just nowwhat that a steam whistle? Is there a train here?”
”YES! It’s the spirit train that started to become popular just recently Do you want to see it?”
A spirit train───Fro i turned to the side road while suppressing her laughter and stepped outside the great tree
At that instant───With a gust of wind, Saigou Homura's field of vision was doreen
”Wha-!”
In the round, the as blowing sideways And at the same time, a second steam whistle was raised Homura bended down from the handrail to take a look at it
Then he was aain It was not seen clearly froreat tree was spread above the great river
Froreat tree, the sucked up water was flowing like a waterfall, or maybe more like a rain, or better put, like a drizzle and rained down on the town below The aquatic city evolved into a fore of that and used it as a power source for things like water wheels and water-powered elevators
Taking a closer look, so that reminded him of an old city was sank underneath the ay
”How is it? The scenery of “Underwood” that was reborn as an aquatic city
”Reborn?”
”YES! Since one year ago, after the water tree's great spirit awakened, The rainfall of this water tree increased Then, Izayoi-san and the others along with other communities worked hard for the aquatic city and as a result, it took the current shape of this scenery”
”Iza-nii made this town?”
Hewith a steaed from under the water
While Hoi’s usamimi
”O-oi! The train came from under the water!”
”Y-YES! It's a spirit train that es that are called the spirit veins If you are interested, do you want to take a look at it? While you're at it, could you let go of my usamimi?
”I ao quickly!”
Hoht her usamimi in excitement and quickly dashed down the stairs
On the way, he juorously turned the pulley and descended to the ground with a speed as if he was falling
While the pulley rotated with a comfortable ”Karakara” sound, the water current adjusted it's speed
The structures itself reses froreat tree city were plenty enough indeed Coh speed elevators that ht to humans
Hoorously descended, dashed out fro in don Everywhere in the doere lined-up by the ays The fountain water was also showing a superb perfors
The open-airstrange ornarilled animals that looked like a ht before the boy’s sight and appealed to his senses
Homura, who has not visited such a place even in the outside world, could only turn speechless in mute amazement
Then, from the opposite side of the crowd, a well familiar voice was heard
”Oh, It's Homura, Aya-chan! Looks like he finally came!”
”Yeah Making two ladies wait, what a hopeless Senpai”
Suzuka was in high spirits while holding candied apples in each hand, while Ayato held a strawberry o Ho over to him as they split the crowd
On the other hand, Hoht was stolen by the scenery, was still petrified
Looking at such face of his, Kuro Usagi tilted her usamimi
”Ho?”
”Ah, no, rather than this or that being wrongbetter put, I can't help but want to throw a tsukkomi at the world”
He was du at loss about how to express sos
A the people that looked like half beasts, a child who couldn’t be described other than as a spirit was playing on the fountain In front of such fantastic scene, it could be said that his train of thought had been burnt
In front of such fulfilling scenery, was it right to be perplexed and be lost for words?
Was it right to accept everything and have fun like Suzuka and Ayato?
Kuro Usagi's ears shook as she smiled at Homura as at a loss
”No Seeing that the questions are piled up, how about we have lunch for now?”
”Yeahright Is there a good restaurant nearby?”
”Let’s see In this season I think sorilled Sakas should be fine!”
Now, this is one extremely carnivorous rabbit Homura wanted to throw a tsukkory
Hence, as the first action in another world, let's have a meal
