The first boat trip to live in another world.

I've been on a ship in my former world, but the ship I'm on now doesn't shake much, so much so that I feel as if I'm on the ground. You don't have to worry about getting seasick, and it seems to be a more comfortable trip than I thought.

A few hours after leaving the ship, night fell, and it was the first dinner on board...... But——、

 

"You ...... understand how dangerous the technology is! Please, ......!"

"I'm sorry......"

 

I was being preached at the dinner table.

It all started when we were having dinner with Leona Mr./Ms. and Nea smashed my healing fist and my healing fist.

When Le Mr./Ms.ona heard this, her face turned pale as she held the spoon, and she looked at me in the seat next to her with a rusty machine-like motion, and then the sermon began.

 

"The trick you've used is like making a small hole in a sack that has swollen just before it explodes, and even though you have a gauntlet, if you did it in the flesh, it might have blown off your elbows."

「…… Oh, was that so? Ah, but it's Farga-sama's gauntlet......"

"That's not the problem!"

 

Mr./Ms., out of breath, poured a drink into a cup beside her and drank it down in one gulp.

Hmm? What did Leona pour into Mr./Ms. cup just now? It wasn't water, was it?

 

"It's a crazy idea! Why did you try to fly your fist!"

"I'm sorry......"

"Why can you send your fists flying, but you can shoot them at zero distance!"

"Yes, sir."

 

I can't refute the correct argument that doesn't make a sound.

Or rather, is it so heartbreaking to be genuinely worried and preached?

The sermons I've been preached have been merciless without a shred of kindness, so I can bear it quite a bit.

 

"Your technique is more of a martial art than magic!"

"I'm not just punching you......

"What is healing magic?"

"This is it."

"Wrong!"

 

If I showed healing magic normally, it was denied!

What's the difference, ......?

I show Amako, who is sitting opposite Leona Mr./Ms. and eating her meal in silence, the healing magic lit in her fist.

 

"Amako, this is healing magic, isn't it?"

"Hmm? …… That's not right. It's a healing punch."

"Oh, yes, hahaha."

 

　……。

…… Hmm?

 

"No, it's not! Do you mean to say that healing punches and healing magic are two different things?"

"Yes."

 

The little fox nodded without hesitation.

 

"Nea! I don't think you're right!"

 

I glanced at her and saw that she was slumped on the table with a glass in her hand that looked like she had only taken two sips.

 

"Nea, what's up!?"

"Nea is down from drinking alcohol that she is not used to."

"Why?!"

 

I thought it was quiet from the beginning!

Speaking of which, you said it! He said, "If you're my age, you can drink this level of liquor in a barrel!"

 

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say that......"

 

I was soberly depressed, and Mr./Ms. Leona rushed to me.

Isn't it a little close? As I tried to tear it off, I noticed that her face was strangely red.

 

"Mr./Ms., are you drunk?"

"Well, I'm not drunk, I'm a knight, so I try not to drink alcohol in case of emergency."

 

Or maybe it was my fault.

Is that okay——、

 

"So, when did Usato be able to split into three people? No, I'm not surprised you can."

 

I immediately pick up the cup beside Mr./Ms. and the bowl she was pouring.

Sure enough, there was a smell of liquor.

And in the seat in front of Mr./Ms. Leona is a prostrate Nea.

Neaah, you'......!

 

"I'm worried about you...... Really, thank you for coming back safely...... Ugh......"

"Hey, Mr./Ms. Leona."

"Are you a normal human being...... I know I'm not the kind of person who would lose my life so easily. But more than that, it's because he fights in a way that doesn't care about himself...... It's dangerous to watch......

"Leona Mr./Ms......."

 

It seems that Leona Mr./Ms. was quite worried.

Admittedly, I may have been a little too self-indulgent.

…… I have to reflect on it.

 

"When I look at it up close, it's like looking at a bull that can't be stopped......

"Usato, it's true that when you're drunk, your true feelings come out."

"Oh my gosh!"

 

When I said that to Amako, who was so frustrated, Leona Mr./Ms. was more depressed, perhaps because she thought it was directed at her.

 

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry for being such a noisy 20-year-old...... Ugh......!"

"Oh, I didn't tell Mr./Ms. Leona!"

 

Mr./Ms. grabs her shoulder and tears begin to cry.

- yes, it's troublesome, this person is also crying with entangled sake! I've never done it, but can you wake up drunk with healing magic? This is like a kind of status anomaly, isn't it?

Impatient, I decided to call Mr./Ms. Alc when I was in trouble.

 

"Oh, Alc-san!"

"Mr./Ms. rented the kitchen and went to make snacks, and he was in a great mood."

 

Ugh, I don't want to disturb Mr./Ms. Alc, who is in a good mood.

Wait a minute, Amako is also drinking in this vein———、

 

"Well, you haven't been drinking, have you?"

"Alcohol? I'm only 14 years old, so I don't drink. It's also a delicious dinner."

 

Common sense dictated that it was.

I had forgotten about Nea because she looked like she was in her mid-teens, but she's actually over 300 years old, so she's far from being able to drink.

…… But the bottom line is that Nea is drunk and unconscious. He's breathing, so he seems to be fine, but I'm going to leave the healing magic bullet alone for the time being.

 

"Eat Usato, too? It's the only time I can eat Mialak's food, right?"

「…… Let's see. If we miss this, it won't be for the time being."

"Yes...... But first—"

 

He nods at Amako's words and tries to reach for the food laid out in front of him, but for some reason he looks at him with jito eyes.

The destination of his gaze is mine...... Adjacent?

 

"Mr./Ms. Leona, shouldn't we do something about it?"

「…… Whew......"

 

Hey, I'm sleeping. Moreover, he ...... with his head on my shoulder as much as he could.

Isn't alcohol too weak for anything? No, it's not what I say because I can't drink in the first place.

 

"Don't get drunk even if you drink, yes, let's be careful."

 

It seems to be the same thing to be careful about alcohol in any world.

I supported Mr./Ms., who had fallen asleep drunk, and I administered healing magic to her while escaping reality.

 

●

 

The first dinner on the voyage was chaotic thanks to Nea, who brought out the liquor.

After that, I punished Nea by hitting her with a healing magic bullet, a healing finger bullet, which she flew with her fingers, as she got up with a sullen face.

However, for some reason, the fish dish of Miarak that was served for dinner and the snacks made by Mr./Ms. Alc were delicious, so it was a good memory.

 

「…… Ah, uh, Usato, yesterday was ......."

"Mr./Ms. Leona, I don't care."

 

The next morning, while feeding Bulllin and his horse, he spotted Mr./Ms. on the edge of the boat with her hands on her face and crying out in agony.

Needless to say, the reason is because of what happened at the dinner table yesterday.

Apparently, he had a faint memory of when he was drinking, and as soon as he saw me, his face turned red or blue.

 

"But I could see that Mr./Ms. was very worried about me."

「…… Hey, didn't I say anything else? I don't ...... that rude."

"I was told it was like looking at a bull that had lost its control."

"Ha, ha, ha, ha Wow, what the hell am I doing!? Oh, I don't think so! Not at all! It's as big as a boar! …… Huh!?"

 

I guess this is exactly what it means to fall into the story.

Looking at the flowing river from afar. It's beautiful, I'm sure it would feel good if I jumped in.

 

"Haha...... lately, I've been treated as a monster all the time, so it's refreshing to be compared to an animal."

"Oh, is that so......?"

 

It's not that I'm depressed.

Rather, if you are depressed at this level, there is no end.

 

"Well, Usato, I had something I wanted to ask you."

"What is it?"

 

I tilt my head at Mr./Ms. Leona, who hesitantly asks me a question.

What? It doesn't seem to have anything to do with the fact that he was drunk, but .......

She took out a piece of paper from the pocket of her long skirt and handed it to me.

 

"The maid in the castle gave me this...... When I read it, it said something like this."

「……」

 

Feeling a bad premonition, I opened it and found that it was an article by Inugami Senpai that I had seen someday.

While I was silent and impatient, Mr./Ms. turned her gaze towards the river somewhat awkwardly.

 

"I knew from your reaction, Usato, I'm going to congratulate you ......!"

"Mr./Ms. Leona! First of all, please ask me about the situation!"

"Uh, yes?"

 

Perhaps because she had a misunderstanding, she had to give a desperate explanation to Leona, who had squeezed out her words with extraordinary determination, Mr./Ms. had five minutes to give her a desperate explanation.

When she heard the general situation, she crossed her arms and nodded with a knowing expression.

 

"I see," he said, "to refuse the confession of a prince from another country. Even though there were problems on the other side of the world when he tried to confess in public, the brave Suzune should not be bold either."

"That's confusing me, but why did you put my name ......?"

"Usato, that's ......."

"Yes?"

「…… No, it's nothing."

 

Mr./Ms. was about to say something, but when she asked back, she shook her head and was shaken.

 

"What kind of person are you? What is Suzune the Brave?"

"He's a friend, he's curious, he jumps on a lot of things...... Oh, if you are gentle, you will get on with it."

「…… It's an introduction to humans! It sounded like an introduction to dogs and cats to me!?"

 

……? Darn it!? No, because if I were to be honest with you, I would have to explain Inugami-senpai's personality like this.

As expected, I need to explain it more properly.

It's about the honor of my seniors.

 

"Well, it's hard to describe my seniors in words...... He's not a bad person. Rather, a good person. Before I came to this world, I thought I was a really perfect person, but in reality, I was more human than anyone else."

"Ah, yes, you and the two heroes came from another world."

"Yes...... And he told me he didn't want to go back to his old world."

「…… That's it."

 

I don't want to go back to my old world.

When she was shipwrecked in the darkness of Ringle, she saw her senior expressing such feelings, and the image of her that she had held up to that time completely collapsed.

…… No, frankly, it was like it collapsed right after it was summoned.

 

"For me, I think it's good that my seniors are enjoying this world, even though I would be in trouble if I got caught up in it."

 

When I looked at the article about my seniors and me and smiled wryly, Mr./Ms. turned to me with a slightly troubled expression.

 

「…… Do you want to go back to your original world?"

"Me? Hmmm......"

 

At present, there is no way to return there.

I've heard that the Mr./Ms. of the Kingdom of Lingle are desperately looking for a way back, but their hopes are slim.

But if you have to choose whether to go home or not——、

 

"I don't know now, I have family and friends in the world I used to live in. But there are people in the world who don't want to break up with me just as much."

 

Now that I think about it, I have met many people since I was summoned to the Lingle Kingdom and traveled there. My relationship with them is just as important to me as it was when I was in my original world.

It's not an easy decision to make.

I wonder if what she is thinking about has appeared on her face, and Mr./Ms. has an apologetic expression.

 

「…… Sorry. I asked a question that was hard to answer."

"No, don't worry about it, it's something you'll have to think about at some point."

 

I have to make a decision on the day that comes.

Which one should you choose, the world you used to be in or the world you are in now?

The moment I thought about it, a concern came to my mind.

 

「…… Farewell, huh?"

 

What should I do if Inugami-senpai and Kazuki choose different answers when they are forced to make the same choice?

Will you be able to accept the separation from the two people who have become best friends in this world?

In a way, I had the worst imagining, so I had no choice but to shake it off and focus on the scenery in front of me to calm down.

I've been a little busy, so the update will be delayed.

I'll be back to updating one episode a week, but I'll pick up the pace as soon as I'm done.
