2. Another world?
Charlotte's so-called, just touched it with his feet, and the result was, without even having time to say a word of help, he was pulled into this strange liquid, although Lychee also grabbed Charlotte's hand at the last moment and fell in with her, but ......
Charlotte, who fell to the ground, still hoped that Lychee would not be this kind of stupid fight, if Lychee didn't come to catch her at that time, but chose to run back for help, the two of them wouldn't have been in a daze for so long in front of this completely unfamiliar scenery!
"Hey, Lychee. β
Charlotte, who has always been not afraid of heaven and earth, finally became a little scared, and the hand holding the corner of the lychee clothes never let go, "This place ...... Where is it?"
Strange places, strange air, strange environments, people I haven't seen before, and their strange costumes, and all kinds of strange objects speeding in front of them.
No matter how you think about it, this is not the same world as it was, that is, there is no mother here, and there is no old woman from Frey, and no one can find themselves, so ......
"Charlotte, calm down. β
Compared to Charlotte, who was already at a loss, the calm Lychee never showed any uneasiness, but only showed a slightly confused gaze after looking around.
"I'll ask, you're here...... Well, that together. β
After finding that she couldn't get rid of Charlotte no matter what, Lychee had to take Charlotte to the middle of the road with her, but the humans here seemed to be a little different from what they imagined.
In a hurry, they didn't even pay attention to Lychee and Charlotte. But. Why is this happening. Facing two small children blocking the road. One ignores it, so why does everyone ignore it?
It doesn't look like the other party is unwilling to deal with it at all, but ......
"Charlotte...... I felt as if they couldn't see us at all. β
After standing there for a few minutes, Lychee turned around and said, "What do you think?"
"Huh, I ...... I...... That ......"
"Charlotte, calm down, or we won't be able to go back. Lychee shook Charlotte's shoulder. However, it seems that Charlotte, who has always been eccentric before, has no idea at all now, just trembling while tugging at the corner of his clothes.
What to do...... If you even panic now......
I just thought about it, maybe these pedestrians just can't see themselves and Charlotte, then, anyway, let's test this conjecture first.
After a short period of planning, Lychee pulls Charlotte, who is already on the verge of crying. Spotted his chance, he stopped in the middle of a passerby. If you can't see it. Then he should go straight through, if that is really the case, then the situation of himself and Charlotte who came here can be understood as ...... Something like a soul?
Getting closer, getting closer and closer, but, just when Lychee thought that the person in front of her was about to pass through her body, she suddenly stopped, and then, as a matter of course, walked past Lychee and Charlotte.
"Wow, Lychee, why can't they see us?"
In a panic, Charlotte stretched out his hand and grabbed the corner of the clothes of the person who had just passed by, but the other party still seemed to be unaware of it, and left in a hurry after getting rid of it easily.
"How do I know, I'm really looking for someone to try. β
Lychee looked around, because of the time, there were not many passers-by around, and after waiting for a long time with Charlotte, who had finally been lost and calmed down a little, they finally ushered in the second passerby.
She looks like a girl, but her clothes are completely different from the style of the previous passerby, and it seems that she has seen something similar somewhere.
"Ahh β
βοΌβ
"Wow, hey...... Lychee, she seems to ...... I'm here. β
Charlotte tugged at the corner of Lychee's clothes, because unlike the previous passers-by, this girl seemed to have her eyes on them, and walked quickly towards them.
Although she looks like she is in her teens, she always feels more dangerous than anyone she has ever seen before. It's as if just staring at yourself has already brought hostility.
"Hey, you two. β
"Whoa!
Charlotte was startled, but then, because of the flood of curiosity, she let go of her grip on the corner of the lychee coat and came to the girl's side.
"It's strange, so many people didn't seem to be able to see us before, why can you see it?"
......After a short silence, the girl stretched out her hand, "This kind of game of pretending to be stupid is not fun, you guys, take out your numbered cards and check them for me." This is not the time you spend on the streets. β
Numbered plates? What is that? Is it something that everybody in this place has?
"Phew, it looks like you're unnumbered youkai?"
Monster?
"What do you call a monster!? I'm a human, okay? β
Charlotte waved at the girl, "Have you ever seen a monster that looks exactly like a human?"
"I've seen it, and a lot. The girl said, "Since you don't have a number, come with me, and don't get in the way of my work." β
Go with this guy who looks fierce at first glance? Come on, I don't know what's going to happen after that.
"Don't!"
After making a face at the girl, Charlotte pulled the lychee and ran into the distance, although even Charlotte herself understood that the two children would definitely not be able to outrun a girl who looked like an adult, but ......
[Whew]
"Wow! What is this?"
Charlotte, who had wanted to use some magic to scare the girl behind her so that she could retreat, soon realized that her magic was useless. On the contrary, the other party began to use very strange spells.
This...... It's all teleportation. All of a sudden, he jumped in front of him.
This woman. At first glance, she is not a good person, and she really has to be taught a good lesson.
"Enough trouble!"
Without waiting for Charlotte to start panicking to prepare for magic, the girl in front of her was about to grab her hand, but before that, Lychee, who had been following Charlotte, pushed Charlotte aside and ......
γZilaγ
The reaction of the girl in front of her was a little faster than Lychee imagined, and even if she unexpectedly pulled out the dagger at her waist to attack, she was still a little late. But. If that's it, she'll definitely continue to come and harass her.
Taking advantage of the girl's backwards, Lychee pressed her entire body against her after tripping her, and at the same time, pressed the dagger against the side of the other's neck.
There was such a big movement, but the people around it didn't seem to see it at all, and sure enough, there was something wrong with this place.
"Wow! When did you become so good?"
β...... Why can you see us? β
The sane Lychee chose to ignore Charlotte for the time being. Turning to the girl below, he asked, "We just fell here from a strange place, but it seems that no one around us can see us. β
"Drop?"
"It's a very strange place, ah, it's hard to explain anyway, it's just falling off. β
Charlotte scratched her head, "Anyway, this doesn't matter, why can't anyone else see us, only you can see it?"
"Because God is hidden...... But I don't think you know. β
What is it?
"It's the first time I've heard of this kind of thing. β
After muttering some strange words, the girl said to Charlotte, "You guys, come with me." β
......
After following the girl in front of her, who claimed to be the spirit mirror, turned left and right, and walked around the street for a long time, Charlotte finally saw a place that was even stranger than the scenery she had seen before.
While there is nothing surprising about the youkai passing by on the road, what is strange is their attitude towards themselves and Lychee.
I always feel as curious as if I have seen something new.
"Aha, Lingjing, I brought a handsome guy last time, and I brought two children this time. β
The monster with the snake on the lower body came to Charlotte and looked at Charlotte from top to bottom as if admiring a work of art, "I said, these two children, don't be you and that ......"
"Please disperse, this matter has nothing to do with you!"
After scolding away the monsters that suddenly surrounded them, Charlotte and Lychee were led to a shabby-looking house. But, to be honest, there doesn't seem to be anything more eye-catching than a little fox staring at something strange.
However, this was only for Charlotte, for the little fox turned around with a frown the moment she stepped into the store.
"Spirit mirror, the two of them ......"
"Wow, this isn't a fox, the big tail looks so soft. β
Compared with this strange environment, what attracted Charlotte more was the little fox in front of her, which looked soft and warm.
It must be comfortable as a pillow.
"Uh-huh, two more who can see me. What's going on these days, strange things are always happening. β
The little fox muttered as she jumped out of her chair, and Charlotte realized that she seemed to be much shorter than she had imagined.
"You two don't look like locals in your attire, where did you come from?"
A place where the explanation is not clear?
For the first time, Charlotte regretted why she didn't memorize what she had learned in the previous class, but it seemed that even if she knew, it wouldn't do much. Because this place, presumably with one's own home, seems to have a very different relationship.
In my mother's words, it is......
"Another world?"
"You mean, you and she crossed over?"
"This ...... Pretty much. Charlotte didn't want to tell the fact that she had fallen into another world because she had tried.
However, even if we have only met for a short time, it seems that we can figure out the strangeness of this world.
First of all, it seems that there is a distinction between "living beings" here, and if I have to explain it, it is the difference between "ordinary people" and "people who are not ordinary people".
"Ordinary people" seem to only be able to see "ordinary people" like them, while those "not ordinary people" can see both.
As for the strange creatures I saw just now, including the woman with cold and terrible eyes, they should also belong to the latter.
But how exactly does this distinguish?
[Charlotte!w, that's great, it seems to be able to get in touch.] γ
Huh, Mom's voice?
But where is it? There is no mother around?
[Don't get excited, in short, don't look around, and then close your eyes. γ
......
[Open your eyes again.] γ
Wow...... One eye, suddenly just like that, I can't see.
[So calm down first, that little fox doesn't look like an ordinary human, don't let her see anything.] γ
Ah, by the way, at this time, you really have to be calm, calm down.
"Little guy, little guy, what's wrong with you?"
The little fox's hand waved in front of Charlotte, "If you're tired, you can rest with me today." β
[Agreed, the other party does not seem hostile at the moment.] γ
"Ahhh Charlotte smiled as she quietly stood behind Lychee.
The little fox in front of him didn't react much, but the woman he met before didn't seem to be like that.
It always felt like she was staring at this side all the time.
[Calm down, don't look up, I don't know their situation.] γ
"Then come with me. β
The little fox said, jumping up and down the stairs, "I'm the shopkeeper here, and by the way, if you have money, you have to pay the rent? It's no problem for two people to sleep together. β
"No problem at all. β
Cut, this guy is so picky.
"So let me tell you a little bit about the rules here. β
After pushing open the door and showing Charlotte a place that, in Charlotte's opinion, was almost indistinguishable from the floor shop, Thousand Faces naturally ignored Charlotte's facial expression.
"Please stay here honestly these days, because you've just arrived...... Human beings, but it seems to have a hidden spirit, in short, it means grounding. β
"What......"
[It's okay, just promise to come down first.] γ
"Also, though I don't know who you're talking to. β
The smile of a thousand faces made Charlotte sense the naked, naked cold, and sure enough, the strange monsters here are not kind guys.
"But don't just think of any bad ideas, right?" (To be continued......)
