422 418. Year 3032.txt (1/2)

The 'original world' where everything was 'still' by Yangtaki.

The time is now 2019 AD - not 2019, but 2019 plus 1014 years, and the year 3032 is the exact year.

This is information that can be quickly learned by examining the celestial bodies that were outside the range of the 'still'.

However, many people live in the present day thinking it is 2019 AD.

This 'Original World' did not have the gentle dream of the 'Winter's Other World (Wintry Dimension)' like the 'Other World'.

Since all records and memories were completely 'frozen' and a blank year 1014 has passed away, the reaction is natural.

So, as far as people's perceptions are concerned -.

”--In mid-2017, there was a worldwide uproar over 'extreme weather' and 'harbingers of a natural disaster' and a significant drop in temperatures compared to the previous year... 2018 saw a small-scale ice age, the 'Little Ice Age,' experts said. They announced, but as we entered 2019, the 'Little Ice Age' was easily over. Everyone felt like, ”Oh, it wasn't a big deal,” and they went back to their lives - and they went back to their lives.

Two months have passed since then.

It must not have been an easy two months because there was water damage due to the melting snow, but there are many areas that escaped the floods.

But there are many areas that were spared from flooding, and for some people, the memory of temperature changes already has no place in their minds.

It's hard to keep paying attention to something that wasn't actually harmful.

Most importantly, the main reason is that it was not a 'real Little Ice Age' but a 'magical standstill'.

The surgeon, Yotaki, had adjusted it to cause less damage than the actual Little Ice Period.

-- There would come a time when he would lose and release this icing.

That's what Yotaki was unconsciously hoping for, so this 'original world' didn't have nightmares of natural disasters or the Great Depression.

So if there was a problem, it was only the people in positions that could confirm the passage of 1014.

The national decision-making bodies and federations have information controls in place to avoid confusion, but the information is slowly being spread. Nevertheless, even if the facts spread to the general public, the only logical explanation needed is the foul of 'magic'. It would take a long time to get to the truth.

I'm not sure if this is also the effect of the ”failure magic” example.

I'm not going to be able to get any more information on this, but I'm going to be able to tell you what to do.

I'm sure the detailed verification will be examined from now on using the past vision.

However, in the 'Original World' that had been sucked out of the 'Demon Poison' by the Yangtaki, it would be a bit of a pain to use a large scale higher level magic.

The laws of physics, magic laws, and the reasoning of the world have not changed significantly, but clearly the 'original world' was in many ways--thinner (・・・・・・・).

''--Fashion. Arrival.

While reaffirming that I still have some issues to work on in the ”original world”, I set foot in the cheap rented room I had moved to with my magic 《Replace Connection》.

There are six and a half tatami mats with wisps under my feet.

On the walls are sliding doors with holes covered with paper.

There is a flickering light on the wooden ceiling.

It didn't cost much.

The name on the doorplate is also a pseudonym, as I'm just securing it at warp destination.

Well, Serdra. Yes, a cell phone (smart phone). Just in case, I have a magic stone for communication, but don't use that one as much as possible.

I know. Magic is not allowed in here. Your physical abilities will be reduced to that of a normal person.

We will hand over the tools we had prepared for when we take separate actions and confirm the promises we made here.

To be on the safe side, I didn't set up an easy ”Connection” in the room.

The only way to return is through my Replace Connection, so a mechanical means of communication is a must. If you get lost, then you will never be able to return, but ...... Seldora will be fine.

So I'm going to focus on Kounel, who looks uncomfortable next to me.

'Gentile' Seldora trusts and sends him off alone.

'Seldra, enjoy this time and this world.

'Oh ....... Of course I'll enjoy it. I'll have a happy continuation, just like you. If not, it won't be worth it to have you 'writing' the ......, ...... continuation for me.

Serdra nodded back, stopping midway through to say something, her eyes narrowing in delight.

Then, as they parted, she encouraged the girl in the rivalry position.

'Kounel Shulus, you do your best to enjoy your date, too. There's nothing to be nervous about. The world over here has survived that winter of despair and it's all over now. ...... We're just visiting the world after it's all over. Just remember, it's a continuation of the dream.

With that advice, he walked away alone.

He opens the poorly erected door and leaves the rented room like an old man enjoying a walk for the rest of his life.

I see him off until he disappears, and finally it's just me and Quuner alone.

Now, we are in a state of reward that Quunel wants.

But she didn't seem to have the luxury of time, and her gaze still kept moving busily.

And then she spits out the words that are rushing up from her throat, with emotion.

'This is the 'other world' ......?　I don't really feel it because it's something that went on so easily and I've moved on, but it's ....... This weird-looking house is certainly ......, certainly 'otherworldly'!

But this is the country side, and it's not that different from there. You have to go to the city to see the amazing 'City of Stone'.

Following Seldra, we left the room as we talked.

The first thing I saw was the scenery of the days when Yotaki and I lived together.

Rolling mountains lined the distance, with red, blue, and black tile roofs underneath them. The road is basically a gray concrete road with old-fashioned telephone poles in spots. But sometimes a green footpath stretches out next to an occasional rice field.

It's a truism that I chose a slightly rural area as my warp destination to reduce the confusion caused by the gap between worlds - and I really don't have good memories of the city.

I still don't feel comfortable in that city that is full of buildings and busy.

It is filled with the past, which is really painful, and the heavy sky is crushing me.

In comparison, the sky here is lighter and more beautiful.

The wind is pleasant and the air is delicious.

The memories of living with Yotaki are also all peaceful.

Even if you lightly roll up the pages, the memories there are still there.

”It was noon on a weekday.

A brother and sister were on a train.

A clattering, creaking sound, regular as a cradle.

It's a local train that runs with few cars.

The train is aged. But the two brothers and sister were sitting comfortably in their clean seats.

Both brother and sister were looking out the front window, not next to it.

But indeed, the brother's right hand and the sister's left hand were superimposed on the seat.

There were no other passengers in the car, not even two digits.

In the empty car, the only sound you can hear is the rocking ....... No, if you listen carefully, you will hear a mother with a boy of about five years old whispering softly, ”Look, let's go. It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with them. Hearing this, the boy's face lights up and he moves to the window across the street, climbs up on his knees in the seat and then slumps down to the window. He seemed to be well disciplined to be quiet on the train, and he laughed, ”Mommy, umi,” in a voice that was small for a child.

The siblings' gazes simultaneously turned to the parent and child.

The boy's mother noticed this and bowed her head lightly, as if to apologize.

Immediately, the siblings smiled and shook their heads slightly.

Then, as they tried to return their gaze - the brother's black eyes and the sister's black eyes met.

As their eyes met, the siblings faced each other and smiled once more.

It's not a smile with any meaning.

But it was a smile that spontaneously spilled out.

The smile of brother and sister filled the air.

Only the sounds of trains and children swelled.

The smell of rusty iron mixed with earth.

The brother and sister put their hands together and look out the window at the sky, as the serenity fills in.

I continue to watch the scenery slowly shift.

It is a dream vision for only a moment.

Even if it's an illusion, sure.

The two of us were certainly laughing at this time, full of laughter -

--a warm memory.

I was stupid enough to not notice the pain of Yotaki, but it was better than my memories of the city.

The sky here is the same as the one I saw from the train back then.

It wasn't a clear day, with a number of cottony white clouds in the air. But it's calm, and the smell of earth reaches the back of my nose wherever I am.

After looking at this sky for a long time with Kounel, the realization finally hits me.

--I'm not going to be able to say that I've come back.

All along I've been wanting to return to 'here' - not to the 'original world' but to this peaceful time.

I believed my sick sister was waiting for me at this time, so I thought it was my mission to run over and be with her as an older brother.

So.

It wasn't the place.

It was the time that I wanted to get home.

The blue sky. The smell of earth. The smell of the earth. A gentle breeze.

I've been wandering around for a long time, wanting to return to this time.

'But it's already ......, done ....... I got to .......

I confirm the warmth of Se-Yang-Taki in my heart.

There's also a new addition to the ”family” there.

NOSFI and LAST TIARA...... and, incidentally, TIARA and LAGNE as well.

And also the ”real” you that you have been seeking for a long time is standing here.

I'm no longer the 'absent' one.

As everyone's 'family', Aikawa Uzumi is indeed alive.

I felt as if all my hardships were being rewarded.

I'm back. From that other world, finally ......

When I came here with Seldra a month ago, I didn't really feel it, because I was so flabbergasted by all the things that were going on.

Thus, there was no time to take a breath and look at the sky in a daze.

But now that I'm here without a purpose, I can truly feel the air of home.

That's why you can read the page titled ”Aikawa Uzumi Returns to the Original World” in the skill ”Reading”.

Now I can even write the next page by myself.

It's a continuation of ”I'm no longer guided by my parents, Yotaki or Tiara, but I'm leading my own life.

Just before writing it in his mind, Kounel, who was looking up at the sky, muttered to himself.

'Ugh, woo-hee ....... The sky is blue - ......

'Yeah, it's a blue sky. It's a different sky, just like in another world.

While agreeing with him, he added a word: ”Different.

Even though the color is the same, the density of the 'Demonic Poison' is clearly different.

Compared to the other side, this one is thinner.

The creature trying to pass by at the edge of my vision is also different.

''Huh?　What is that flying?　What is that?

'...... sparrow?'　Oh, it's a sparrow. It's definitely a sparrow. Ha-ha.

A creature with a name you know is flying in a movement you know.

Plus, I know the view of the bird as it flies away, which is very calming.

There is a convenience store in the distance: ....... It's been a long time since I've been to a convenience store. Let's get something to eat later.

I have the languid impression of someone who has returned home from a U-turn.

In contrast, Kounel, who is supposed to be a tourist, continues to murmur in a very serious manner.

It's not much of a change in the composition of the air at ......?　Magic is hard to activate, but that doesn't mean it's impossible to activate. Obviously, the effect of magic is minimal. You can see the safety of the plant from the casual weeds underfoot. The insects are also ...... are these 'ants' (ants)?　But it's small in size. Isn't the animal monstrous because it's less toxic?　No, it's because the receptacle of the 'qualities' of the souls of the creatures in this world is different--

I'm sure you're aware of the fact that they use counter-magic when they try to use magic. Also, the ants here are basically that big. We don't have anything that can be called a monster over here.
