129 I Dont Want Brother to Go! (1/2)

”President, I’m currently in some sort of bedroom. Shika Kagura… a much younger version of her is sleeping on the bed right now.”

He put down the mirror and asked for instructions. ”What should I do now? Should I wake her up?”

Natsuya didn’t reply to this.

”President?”

”I was thinking about what to do,” she finally responded. ”It’s possible to wake her up right now, but I recommend looking around first. Are you able to leave the room?”

Seiji took another look at his surroundings.

”There’s no door in this room… not even a window.”

”Then… go ahead and wake her up. But prepare yourself first,” Natsuya advised in a serious tone of voice.

‘Prepare for what?’ Seiji wondered.

Without warning, the young version of Shika on the bed muttered something and stirred.

Seiji looked at her.

The young Shika slowly opened her eyes.

When this happened, all the toys in the room suddenly began hovering in midair!

Seiji felt like he was being propelled upwards as well, and he couldn’t help but look at the ceiling. He noticed that the ceiling… magically seemed to be far away from him when it was so low a few moments earlier!

He had barely registered this when his perspective turned upside-down!

He began ”falling” towards the ceiling!

”Whoa!!” He couldn’t control himself and let out a shout of surprise.

He imagined that this was what a first-time bungee jumper would feel!

Seiji’s mind was going blank!

He didn’t know what was going on. Just as he calmed down slightly and prepared to take action, he suddenly fell in a different direction again!

The room—or perhaps it was more apt to describe it as a space in the shape of a room—had now changed. Multiple layers of the room overlapped in his vision.

Seiji felt like he was trapped inside a kaleidoscope! 'This completely breaks every law of physics.'

Countless flying stuffed plushies, building blocks, dolls, and so on were strewn everywhere, just like the colorful contents of a kaleidoscope.

They grew larger or smaller, distorted, changed colors, or transformed back into their original states in a maddening cycle!

Seiji crashed into a teddy bear. The rebound sent him hurtling into a castle constructed of wooden blocks, which were sent flying everywhere after the collision. He then grabbed onto the hem of a doll’s skirt, but it suddenly turned minuscule, making him unable to hold onto it anymore. He ended up falling into a giant whale puppet’s mouth and being ejected from the blowhole on its back, whereupon he continued crashing left and right into many other strange, distorted objects.

But, unexpectedly, it didn’t hurt at all.

'Welp, so much for Newton’s laws of gravity!'

At first, Seiji had been confused by the situation. Now, he had calmed down enough to assess the situation, even while flying through midair.

After an indeterminate length of time passed in this chaotic kaleidoscope, Seiji finally crash-landed onto the floor together with a large number of toys.

Seiji slowly regained his feet and used his arms to shield his head from the subsequent downpour of toys.

After he finished catching the final teddy bear, the room returned to its original state… or was it slightly larger than before? He had no way to compare or know.

Shika-chan finally rose from her bed and opened her eyes.

”Brother~” she called out happily upon seeing Seiji.

Then she hurriedly ran towards him and jumped into his arms with her arms outstretched.

”Good morning, Brother!”

After rubbing her face against him several times, she raised her face to reveal an expression that was just too cute to withstand!

Seiji felt as if he could hear his sense of reason becoming twisted.

She was just too cute!

He repeatedly tried to recite as many numbers of pi as he possibly could and somehow managed to maintain his sanity.

”Good morning, Shika-chan,” Seiji smiled and greeted her normally, putting his earlier mysterious experience behind him.

…

This was the inside of Shika Kagura’s soul.

The younger version of Shika… Shika-chan was the manifestation of her soul.

That was to say Shika-chan had the ability to affect the entire area inside here. Her knowledge, emotions, and thoughts had the ability to change the surrounding environment.

But she couldn’t control it.

Humans were unable to control every part of their bodies, and their souls functioned in the same way.

Although Shika-chan was powerful in this realm, she couldn’t control everything.

Thanks to Seiji’s personal experience and Natsuya’s explanation beforehand, he was now able to understand all this.

Currently, he was accompanying Shika-chan in her room… According to her current knowledge, this was the living room of her ”home.” They sat together on a couch and watched some TV.

The TV was only playing just a few scenes from a really old anime repeatedly instead of broadcasting some normal episodes.

Shika-chan appeared to be completely engrossed by this. She didn’t feel that anything was wrong.
