43 Episode 43: The secret room has the scent of a confession.txt (2/2)

It's a waste of time to think about it, but it's a world where the language is understood, the environment is the same as on earth, the length of the day is the same ......, but there are monsters that have magic that isn't earth.

There's no way to explain these things, it's just a level of loss to think weirdly about it. There are two moons and strange oceans, but it would still be more convincing to say ”this is actually a parallel world of Earth”.

Even if you say it with your mouth, you won't be understood, and it's probably the fastest way to talk about it, to invite someone from the mirror to the other side.

Then I'll go over there and remove the cloth from the mirror. Then you should be able to see my room reflected in the mirror.

With that, I leave the mirror and go back to my room. It's just dusk now, and even if I remove the cloth, I won't be able to see this side of the room clearly from the other side unless I turn on the light.

When I remove the cloth and turn on the light, the light leaks out (I'm not sure if that's the right word), and the mirror reflects the scene on the other side of the room.

All three of them are just cowering in front of the mirror as if they are not located, only Marina is surprised by the noumenal nature of the situation.

You're going to have to pull out your hand and show them to me.

I walk back through the mirror to the three of them. The light in the room has brightened the basement and I can now see the expressions on their faces, but it's Deanna and Rebecca who are surprised as if I suddenly came out of the mirror. Marina is the only one who says in her usual good-natured, ”It's amazing,” she says, ”It's a wonder.

Haha, as expected of Deanna and Rebecca, they were surprised too. Now, you can see my room in the world I used to be in over there. Would you like to go there for a moment?　I could at least offer you some tea.

A bit small for a master's room, don't you think?

I'm just saying. This is, you know, a different culture. Marina.

............

............

Hmm, I don't think Deanna and Rebecca's reactions are very good. In the other world, there was some kind of unpleasant superstition about ”the one who comes out of the mirror is the devil incarnate” or something like that: ......?　If that's the case, I guess it wasn't good .......

'Hey ...... Jiro. I don't see anything in the reflection to me?　Does Marina see the world in the mirror?

Rebecca looks confused. Marina seems to be able to see it all right, but Rebecca-san can't see anything.

''Huh?　What do you mean by that?　Don't you see, Rebecca?

'Giraud disappears into the mirror, and after a while I can see the light leaking out of the mirror. It's gray and dull from the start and doesn't reflect anything in particular!

'Oh, really, ....... Marina seems to be able to see that ....... Di, what about Deanna?　Do you see what's on there?

I turn to Deanna and ask her.

But if I remembered the way Deanna was scowling from her own room, the answer was as if I didn't have to ask.

'...... Yes, it's a solid picture, Master. ...... From the beginning, (・・・・・) I've been seeing (・・・・・) my own reflection (・・・・・) all along (・・・・・). To me, ......, this is just a mirror ......

◇◆◆◆◇

In the end, no one could come through the mirror to my room.

We all tried everything to see if we could get there, but it was impossible. It's a good thing that you're not going to be able to find a way to get there while holding hands with me, or if I reach out and pull her to you from the other side of the world ....... I did my best to scramble, but I couldn't do what I couldn't, and even Marina, who seemed to be the most likely candidate, didn't make it.

Yeah, well, that's just the way reality is .......

◇◆◆◆◆◆.

Deanna was visibly depressed after that, as if she was so frustrated that Marina could see the world beyond and she couldn't see it.

The master has no choice but to comfort her here ......, but I didn't know how to comfort her, so I tried to be cheerful and said, ”Ha, there are things even high elves can't do!　Hahaha! And instead of comforting him by running his mouth, he ended up pissing him off in the opposite direction. He's a total quacksnake!　I can't even get a flag to stand in this situation.

Rebecca just said, ”Well, it's just the way it is. I'm not sure if I'm a master at this or not .......

Marina is Marina, and she was disappointed that she couldn't go to the other side of the world, even though she could see it.

But oh well, but when you take them to Japan, all you can do is let them see the sights and eat good food, so you have to force yourself to switch it up, which is good for you. Me too, ......, and those guys.

By the way, I feel like I've been stumped a little bit by the mirror incident, but anyway, I was able to convince them of the secret that was on my mind, or at least get them to understand me.

From now on, I'd like to bring in more and more products from over there and assign work to Diana and Marina so that we can get richer and more efficient.

Especially since I'm the only one who can do Okku in Japan (due to the mirror incident), we need to keep hiring more and more people to do business in another world, for example, at flea markets, or as shop assistants if we want to have a store, because it's inefficient and inefficient. I'm not sure if Deanna and Marina will be able to work as shop assistants, but we need them to at least work for their own food.

But for now, I think I'll give the bed to Deanna and the others and go back to my room.

After all, it's New Year's Eve. It's New Year's Eve and we have to eat New Year's Eve soba, and tomorrow is New Year's.
