"Let go of me, I'm ...... Soon... Breathe... But it's coming! ”

"Don't let it go, unless you promise me!"

"Hey, you're really...... Want... Kill me? ”

Strangely, she has a lot more strength than me, and she can't do anything.

If I continue like this, I'm really going to die.

Ahhh

I'm not going to Yukona, she's going to laugh at me.

"Good, good, good, I... Promise... You, please... Let go... I'll do it. ”

For the sake of my life, I chose to compromise.

"Really?"

Hinako was still a little worried, but the strength in her hands was a little less.

I nodded desperately.

I don't care about anything else, I just want to breathe in the fresh air.

"Thank you!"

Hinako let go of me and jumped on the spot with a happy face.

"Ahem...... It's alive......"

I crouched on the ground and breathed heavily.

It feels so good to be alive!

"When are we leaving?"

"Where to go?"

"Of course it's an adventure!"

“……”

Does this guy only have adventures in his head?

"Are you lying to me?"

Hinako's voice suddenly lowered.

It's scary!

Also, your eyes are dangerous!

I did say yes to her, but it was just a last resort, and my heart still refused.

"Wait, what are you doing with the scroll at me?"

I don't know what the scroll does, but my instincts tell me it's dangerous.

Hinako slowly approached me with the scroll in her hand, still whispering something in her mouth.

You can't be chanting some kind of spell or something, right?

Spare me!

"No, you're one of us now."

"Huh? Are you sure? ”

Hinako's expression changed one hundred and eighty degrees, and she changed back to the smiling and moaning she just now.

"Uh-huh, really."

Having escaped the catastrophe, I wiped the cold sweat from my head.

"Sister Suzuki, when are we going to play?"

Nana asked, taking my arm by the arm.

"Nana, wait a minute, let me talk to this sister for a while."

"Then you must play with me later."

"Well, I promise."

Neither side is easy to mess with, and my life in another world is really hard!

"Have you decided when to go?"

"Don't you have to talk to your family?"

"If you run away from home, it's fine!"

No problem!

"No, you have to discuss it with your family."

“…… Okay, I'm going to talk to my mom. ”

Hinako looks a little lost, and she doesn't have to think about it to know what she's missing.

"I'll go with you. Nana stayed here. ”

Since I promised her, I have to do my part.

"Can I play a game console then?"

"No! Nana just sits here, being a good boy. ”

I still have a lot of nostalgia for game consoles, and I'm starting to admire her persistence a little.

I gently patted Nana's head and said.

"Hmm... I know, I'll wait for Suzuki-san to come back. ”

Really obedient, it seems that my worries are unnecessary.

Then, I followed Hinako to her mother's room.

Her mother was a little surprised to see me, thinking that Hinako had caused another trouble. Presumably apologize for this kind of thing, her mother usually does not do less. It's a blessing to have such a daughter.

"Mother, I'm ready to join them on their adventure."

"You're talking like that again, Dad, doesn't he disagree with you going?"

"Hmph, I don't care about him."

“…… Can you help me persuade her, this young lady? ”

Minako turned her gaze to me.

"I ......"

I was just about to open my mouth when I felt an unusually terrible gaze, and I knew who it was without even thinking about it.

"Ahem...... I'll take care of your daughter, don't worry. ”

Said something meaningless.

Actually, I don't know what to say.

If her mother didn't agree, there was nothing I could do.

"Can you swear by what you've said?"

Huh? Actually believe it? This is a sentence that a three-year-old child may not believe, but you actually believe it?

What's more important is that we're only meeting for the first time, can you trust people for the first time to that extent?

But I'm not lying, after all, I'm somehow a person with cheat-like skills, and I'm definitely not going to let her die, let alone get hurt.

"Well, I swear."

I can still say this with a clear conscience.

"Alas...... Actually, I know that sooner or later she will embark on this path, but I don't want her to embark on this path too early. What's more, she doesn't know anything yet...... For her like this, you can say anything to protect her, and I am relieved...... Daughter, please. ”

Minako knows Hinako very well, so she has already come to her senses.

"Really, Mom? Are you willing to support me? ”

"Hmm."

"I love you, Mom!"

Hinako, who was crying with joy, hugged her mother.

"I love you too, Hinako. I'll talk to him on Dad's side, so you have to be careful in the future. ”

"Don't worry, Mom. I'll be fine. ”

"Let's go with this young lady, maybe I'll change my mind in the next second."

Minako's eyes were full of reluctance, and her hand held Hinako tightly, unwilling to let go.

"Aunt Minako, I will definitely take care of your daughter, so you can relax."

With that, I have one more person on my team.

Speaking of which, what did I come to the other world for? Why do you want to form a team? I don't need it!

Am I finding something to do for myself?

No, I'll have to ask Yukona later.

"Nana, let's go......"

When I returned to my previous room, I saw a copy that shouldn't have been, but was taken for granted.

Nana was sitting on the floor playing a game, looking exactly like me before when no one was around.

She didn't seem to notice that we were in.

I crept up behind her.

It's an older game.

"What are you doing?"

"Don't you see I'm playing a game?"

She still seems to be quite reasonable.

No, I can't let her play anymore, if she continues to be short-sighted, it will be troublesome.

"I ...... That one...... I didn't do anything. ”

Nana realized who was talking to her, and hurriedly hid the console behind her. But the sound of the console betrayed her.

"Hmph, what's behind you?"

"Huh? Behind...... Nothing......"

She held out her right hand and handed it to me.

"Where's the left hand?"

"Not really."

She withdrew her right hand and then stretched it out.

It always feels like I was caught by my mother when I was a kid and I was stealing a game console.
