The human beings who exist here have never had a time to discover their true world. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoHuman beings live as a matter of course, living in happiness and peace. Perhaps, at some point, someone will suddenly realize that the peace and happiness in front of them are just illusions. But there is no means for him to debunk this illusion, so human beings are still alive, even if they know the truth by chance, they are still alive ordinary. There's nothing wrong with enjoying the ordinary, isn't it?

Just like her.

"Quest - Somewhere in the World (Main Story) (1): You don't belong here, you know it very well. The voice in your head keeps telling you this. Reclaim your power. Reward: None."

At some point, the voice came to her head, and she forgot who she was. Obviously, before she was in another world completely different from here.

This heart leaf, the name she remembers clearly.

And the one that lies deep in one's own heart... Calm down.

Yakumo is still wearing the same conspicuous purple dress, and she is sitting in her seat, still holding a parasol out of place, like a vampire who will die when caught by the sun... But the heart leaf opposite her is a vampire, and can be good friends with the sun. Xinye looked at the strange figure in front of him and couldn't help but think. She was in another world before, yes, she didn't have any memories of this world, or the previous one. Here it looks like... In a world where technology is more advanced, the two worlds seem to be in completely different dimensions.

(Interesting, isn't it?) You subconsciously keep that calm and pretend to be panicked. Deceived everyone, it was perfect. It's hard to imagine a human like you... No, once a human being. You were like this before you became a god... Unbelievable. ）

I don't know where the voice came from, talking to her... Unilateral. She sipped the cold coffee, bitter and astringent, like...

"How does this coffee taste like earth..."

Brushing away the long purple hair that blocked his eyes, Kokoba frowned, pinched the teacup, and shook it slightly.

"It's freshly ground." Yakumo Zi shook her fan to hide Allure's smile.

"How does this coffee taste like dirt?"

"It's freshly ground."

Two guests sitting at another table not far away said the same thing. Dressed in a suit, with short purple hair and a false smile that could be seen through at a glance, the man was sitting at another table with another slightly burly old man with gray temples. The old man seemed to say something to the purple-haired man like Kokoba, and then sighed. This heart leaf sat in place in a daze, which was incomprehensible.

"Don't you understand? Why did you appear here," Yakumo Zi crossed Jiro's legs, looking at Konoha with a somewhat confused look, "As you understand, this is another world. ”

Yakumo Murasaki... It's dangerous. She made up her mind for the first time, and the girl in front of her, who seemed to be no different from ordinary people, had unusual sophistication and vicissitudes. The heart leaf stopped talking, drinking what she felt was earthy, paying attention to the movements around her. At this time, Xinye noticed that the purple-haired man was also staring at him. She suddenly realized something, and then turned her head to ask Yakumo.

"I don't belong to this world."

"Yes."

Got an answer right away.

"Therefore, it is not surprising for me to have two of them, even if there are not small differences in all aspects." Kokoba put down the coffee cup, and she looked at Yakumo Murasaki, trying to see through the folding fan the meaning of that smiling face.

"That's right."

Yakumo Zi didn't say a word, just affirmed this heart leaf's guess. But judging from the smile between her eyebrows, her mood... Seems good?

"So, what is the purpose of bringing me here?" Kokoba asked the first question, "I want to know." ”

"It's very simple," Yakumo put away the folding fan, put her hands on her thighs, and faced Kokoba's question, "Kill your 'self' and you will know everything." ”

"I need a reason."

"Well, what a curious child."

The blonde and purple-haired girls looked at each other, though they were very different in age.

"Forget it, it doesn't hurt to tell you, take this."

Yakumo suddenly remembered something, then put away the parasol and handed it to Kokoba. Kokoba took the umbrella and examined it carefully, but she didn't find anything, she looked at Yakumo Zi again, expecting the other party to give her an answer. Yakumo Zi, on the other hand, stared carefully at Kokoba's expression, and suddenly burst out laughing.

"It's just a normal parasol, you're so cute."

“......”

"Okay, I'll tell you now."

Yakumo Zi unfolded the fan and covered his face with a solemn expression.

"You, are... A lowly god, perhaps not even a god, is calculated by others on your journey through the world, twice in a row, and then you lose your memory and power. Gods like you can gain some power by killing yourself in other worlds, and you are mine... A friend. Although I don't have any special friendships, I did me a favor anyway, and this time I should return your favor... Well, but it doesn't matter. ”

"You're hiding something from me."

As soon as the words of this monster sage fell, Xinye said immediately, and Yakumo Zi couldn't help but be surprised.

"It's not a good habit to ask about a girl's secrets."

"That's about me."

Kokoba forcibly interrupted her words again, and Yakumo Zi suddenly put away the fan helplessly.

"You... Aren't I allowed to keep some little secrets? Do you want my secret to be your and mine's little secret? ”

"I prefer to have my own facts, and to be honest, it's uneasy for me right now," Kokoba shrugged, "Don't look at me like this, I'm actually quite shy, and I've made a lot of determination to ask me like this." That's right, your and my little secret sounds pretty good, a lot like some kind of peculiar treasure. ”

"Well... Anyway, you'll find out soon, soon..."

Yakumo Zi still refused to say. Kokoba had no choice but to give up, and she looked at the table where the purple-haired man had been sitting before, but now it was empty, leaving only two coffee cups.

――――

"Hey, Daddy, your face isn't good, I was a little upset by those strange creatures last night," he asked his partner, and then she took a sip of coffee, and an earthy smell entered his mouth, he shrugged his nose and gritted his teeth, "How does this coffee taste like dirt." ”

"It's freshly ground in the morning."

The old man sitting across from him replied indifferently.

"Don't you understand? That's what the world is," said his partner, "whether it's magic or science, it's always just the path to the same path." This is new world for you, and I hope you get used to it quickly. ”

He took a deep breath, after all, he was still working hard for his life and his sister yesterday, and today he was going to join some so-called justice institution to deal with the evil forces with superpowers and magic. It's not that he can't accept it, it's just that he thinks this kind of work is too dangerous for him, and if he dies, it's difficult for his sister, who is still studying, to take care of several aspects, although he thinks his sister is better than him, a "defective product", but... Now that his parents are gone, his sister is the only reason he is still alive, and the concept of family has not penetrated his consciousness... He just couldn't find any other meaning for him to live in this world.

Too many things, there's no point in it.

He suddenly felt something behind him, and he turned his head to look at another table of customers not far from the café. There were two young girls sitting there, one of whom had long purple hair, also staring at him.

He quietly withdrew his gaze, then asked his partner in a low voice.

"Daddy, since there are such things as magic and superpowers, it's not uncommon to travel through the world, right?"

"Maybe it exists, but we haven't found it yet," the old man paused for a moment, then shook his head and took a sip of coffee, "Why do you ask this?" ”

"I just think... It's not unusual that there will be two mes. ”

He looked out the window as the sun went down.

The human beings who exist here have never had a time to discover their true world. Human beings live as a matter of course, living in happiness and peace. They live as a matter of course, and life is so taken for granted, but one day, they suddenly realize that such a life is just an illusion? There is no peace, there is no happiness, all the time everyone is in the world of hell...

"What's wrong? Kokonoha, looking at the window in a daze is not like you. ”

"It's nothing, I can't drink anymore, let's go."
