After a while, Yuzuka starts to sleep, perhaps because she is tired.
I wish someone would help me out of this situation. However, there is no such thing as someone coming along so conveniently.
……, but it was supposed to happen.
Suddenly, something unusual happened in front of my eyes.
“What is it ……?”
A gaping hole opened up in the space, and I felt a strong magical power drifting in.
When I looked in that direction in surprise, only a head popped out of the space.
…I was a little surprised, but thanks to my experience in another world, I didn’t have to raise my voice.
“……Uh, g……!”
…… familiar, a dragonet woman.
“…… Lianna?”
Lianna looked up quickly, as if responding to my call.
“…… Shuji?! Shuji……!”
With only her face showing, Lianna is looking at me.
She had a stern expression on her face, as if she was exerting some extraordinary effort, but when she saw me she lit up.
The moment it happened, it looked as if she was being dragged to the other side, but she was holding on to the distortion of space with the power she had.
“……w-what are you doing?”
“I came …… to see you!”
She’s in a great state, and she’s saying great things!
I was surprised by Lianna’s sudden appearance, but I had immediately invoked my magic on Yuzuka.
My instincts understood that the big problem in …… this situation right now was Yuzuka waking up.
She had confessed her feelings of jealousy like that …… just now. So if she met another girl like this, it would be …… scary.
For …… a moment, Yuzuka was still asleep. For now, it seems that this state of affairs has not been exposed.
However, that is only switching the situation of one scene.
A hole small enough for a person’s head to pass through. Lianna is looking at me, clinging desperately to the distortion of space.
I breathe out a sigh of relief and stare at Leanna.
“…… Shuji……! Thank God, I knew it, I knew it was Shuji……!”
Lianna was smiling happily, but I could see that she was being pulled back into space, or perhaps she was desperately straining her arms.
…Or rather, the border between those dimensions can be managed with brute force.
“…..Well, you figured it out.”
“Why?”
“Because I’m young again.”
I was just a dull old man everywhere when I was in contact with Lianna. No, well, maybe I’m just a dull high school student now.
I may have a shadow of him, but I don’t think many people would recognize me as the same person. At best, like father and son.
But Lianna stares at me and then smiles happily.
“Yeah, you look cool.”
Thank you.
But I’m not asking you what you think of my looks right now.
That point is off the mark.
…… my younger …… isn’t exactly what I’d call it. Perhaps, but I think I’m returning, in a haunting sort of way, to my past self.
If that’s the case, there should have been a time line discrepancy with Lianna and the others in the first place, but …… in front of me was Lianna’s appearance after she had completed her journey.
I honestly don’t know what that means. But it is certain that common sense does not apply when there is a different world in the first place.
For now, the first thing to do is to talk to Lianna, who is right in front ……
“I’ve been …… depressed since Shuji went to the gate of the demon world selfishly.”
“……, selfish.”
“…… selfish!”
“……, I wanted to help you.”
……I thought I would never see her again, so I left a little poetic note, and I started to feel embarrassed.
“Selfish!”
Lianna exclaimed brokenly.
I could only return the apology as she puffed out her cheeks.
“……, I’m sorry about that.”
“It’s not that I want to …… blame you. I can feel Shuuji’s feelings that he wanted to help me and wanted me to live, so he did what he did.”
“No, it’s not just Lianna, it’s Leticia and Ferris as well.”
“Don’t mention any other women’s names right now.”
“…… Ou.”
Oh, yes. …Lianna’s cheeks are swollen and cute, but in her case, it wouldn’t be funny if I really offended her.
In all likelihood, as I predicted from the current exchange, she hasn’t told Leticia or Ferris about this current situation.
“I’ve really missed …… you since Shuji left.”
“…..Well, I feel bad that you said that.”
“I’m …… really glad we got to see each other again like this.”
“I’m also …… well, I didn’t think I’d ever see you again, so I’m …… happy to see you.”
I didn’t even think from the beginning that I would be able to go …… to another world, or that I would be able to go there again.
“So Shuji,…… I’ve been wondering since a while ago.”
What’s with the suddenly low voice?
Lianna’s smile is still there, but her gaze has dropped.
When I looked down to catch her gaze, I saw that the lovely Yuzuka was sleeping comfortably.
Lianna was also staring at Yuzuka, who was sleeping on my lap.
“…..What’s this?”
Lianna mumbled quietly. The look in her eyes is clearly hostile.
Maybe this is how a man who has been caught cheating on his wife feels.
No, in my case, it’s not like I’m having an affair or anything!
“No, I mean, …… this is my world, and she’s my …… employer.”
“Employer ……? Shuji’s world …… is, I think, Japan, right? In Japan, do they kneelap your employer?”
I couldn’t find the words to reply to Lianna’s brilliant point.
Isn’t there no choice but to push things like this?
“O-ou …… well.”
She stares at me. I’m being suspected so much!
“…..Well, okay. So, here’s what’s going to happen…….”
Lianna shows that she has noticed my lie, her expression is distorted and she quickly moves on to the next part of the conversation.
More force is put into her arms as she grips the space than before.
Lianna raised her voice with a grim look on her face.
“….. pull me …… Shuji.”
“Ha….?”
“… even now I am being pulled back into the world. But I want to go to Shuji’s world, so …… pull me …….”
“No, no, wait, wait, wait. ……”
What is she talking about?
“What are you going to do when you come to my world?”
“I’m going to marry Shuji.”
”Don’t say that like it’s a given! I told you in my letter …….
I told you in my letter that you should find your own way of life.”
“I can’t find it. that kind of thing”
Lianna said coldly and then laughed sadly.
“Does Shuuji know what I’ve been like since I returned to my country?…This power is feared by the people around me. Everyone is nervous.”
She casts down her eyes sadly. I had heard that …… Lianna was one of the most powerful of the Dragonutes, and that she had always lived in solitude.
“I’ve been wanting to meet you. I’ve always …… missed you. Only Shuji recognizes my power. Only Shuji would stand beside me. I only need Shuji. I don’t need anything else but Shuji.”
Although I was saddened that Lianna is feared ……,
I also know that she has saved many people with her strong power and that such people are grateful to her.
“There were people who praised ……you. There were many people who were helped by your strong power and were grateful to you, right? Why don’t you …… look around you more?”
We’ve been traveling together for so long, she’s become blind to me.
But–
“I’m not interested.”
Lianna said this plainly and coldly.
