Vol 1 Chapter 4 (1/2)

The significant impact of the revelation of the boy’s identity as Nakamura shi+nichi resulted in the suspension of any further investigation Instead, he was subjected to a physical exanosis so they could see if there are any injuries or illnesses Naturally, they orried about otherworldly bacteria and wanted to prevent it fro reason for the examination was to verify his identity They had to know if he was truly 『Nakamura shi+nichi』

In the end, fro in another world for 8 years, but his physical fores as if only 2 years had passed In other words, the change was that the 13-year-old boy looked like a 15-year-old, but in their timeline he is a 21 year old He couldn’t lie about his appearance since it’s clearly that of a 15 year old His hair is longer now, but his face was pretty much the same as in the picture that was posted He wasn’t satisfied with that fact as 「neither his stature nor his looks grew」 However, that is trivial, considering the amount of shocks that are bound to happen “now”, after the test

「Okay, we’re done You can get dressed Please wait until the check ends」(Doctor)

He ca on until now, following the instructions of the woe of his inspection The device that was used to exa information to the screen in the doctor’s hands His result didn’t interest hilanced at the woreen A different type of colour froinal colour she was born with as he saw it reat disco that in the ranks of the usually black-haired japanese

—–That’s not ies with a different world

It’s the only logical explanation They described it to hi fact

「Kyu, Kyuu……」

「It’s alright It’s just a testing device」(shi+nichi)

「……」

A creature with a perplexed feeling that wasn’t showing on its face ran up to hiold, in the shape of a fox, but it had three tails However, the doctor was at a loss for words so its cries were completely misinterpreted

「………Ta that, really Isn’t that an Amaryllis Fox?」(Doctor)

Looking in anticipation froreen doctor and the staff were quite surprised Mixed iht and disbelief ritten all over their faces

「Kyuu!」(Fox)

「Hii!」(People)

「Stop it, be quiet」(shi+nichi)

People around hihtened Soht before thely re her head After all, proceeding this far without hi in his clothes but after hearing the facts her lord was left in a shocking stupor It was only natural for her to jump out because she had been worried Her revelation caused the building to temporarily fall into a state of panic However, this subsided quickly because she showed no hostility and obeyed shi+nichi Originally, she was Farandia’s living organism called Tenkorius Her similarity to another world’s creature that was known to Earth has caused her to be mistaken for it Fortunately for shi+nichi, this helped them draw the conclusion as to where he’s been

「Doctor, are you sure there are no big injuries or anything else?」(Rinko)

However, that had given another big worry for the female officer here

「Yes, he has a healthy body Actually, he’s too thin but that’s nothing bigWhen placed in a “nature reserve“ I think it’s only natural for him to be this way」(Doctor)

Nature reserve Froer zone in the other world Rugged terrain, land of mysteries and natural remains where fierce creatures, hostile to huent creatures there That is what led them to believe he was there

「There’s no mistake that you’ve been under the protection of the Amaryllis there」(Doctor)

Even if shi+nichi didn’t know nearly as much as they did about their other world, Garesuto, it did not see his status was low all over the place Since it would be difficult to deceive the his lack of information, he hopped on board with their story

「That’s why It’s not possible for an all D to survive the nature reserve」(Doctor)

「Eh, what all-D, Eeh!?」(Rinko)

Satisfied with her deduction, the doctor exclaimed it with a smile On the other hand, the female officer, Rinko, was surprised He was surprised as well, but he had little difficulty hiding it Actually, he was

「Surprising? Look for yourself, here’s the result of the test Strength D, staility D = all D Moreover everything is at limit」(Doctor)

「It really is, but……such……」(Rinko)

「That’s all?」(shi+nichi)

Looking at the results screen, the two of them had different reactions She was surprised by his low values, while he was surprised that theturn of events, he whispered so, but fortunately for him, she hadn’t noticed

「It’s troublesoree returns, he’ll just be obstructive」(Doctor)

「……No need for concern I don’t care as I’」(shi+nichi)

The tone of his voice quickly dropped, responding to the doctor’s conclusion that shohat she really meant when she said low scores It was his best effort to keep cal his irritation It turns out the other one in the rooative emotions

「……Um, as the result of the test? Have you found out if I’m Nakamura shi+nichi?」(shi+nichi)

Sensing the growing disturbance in the air, he reminded them of their initial objective At the tiry for him since they were only in-laws

「Y-yeah……DNA examination, teeth mark inspection, facial structure and whatnot It’s 99999999 positive that he’s the Nakao」(Doctor)

Talking about his status she stated the results while being not even a little bit interested in the this affire of joy, eventhe confirinated fros of anxiety also welled up within him

With a certainty of almost 100 in the results, it was proven The child that was died by a anization that arrested hi to comprehend

「I’ed you around the station here and there This is the first ti just went hectic」(Rinko)

「Ah, no, it’s alright」(shi+nichi)

Therefore, it was necessary to go through some fine procedures at each department to prevent any unwanted circu his identity Since shi+nichi himself was surprised, he understood their perplexity and surprise perfectly In any case, he didn’t think a trip around the organization would be bitter or troublesome In fact, there was a department that had the authority to respond to his special case, so all kinds of legal issues and feedback were cleared just by traveling around the organization shi+nichi was truly grateful Just

「…………」(shi+nichI)

「A short while ago your faration bureau It’s worthless on the surface, but since you perforal act of world travel, they may ask you various questions, but I’ll follow up, so don’t worry」(Rinko)

Leave it to htly However, her “enthusiasm“ just didn’t sit ith hiuide him personally Her name was Nakamura Rinko She’s also the lady who falls under the stepister because she’s his fathers “present“ wife She was the one who discovered the truth and also the one most visibly shaken by it The ainst her being the guide, but Rinko was stubborn and did not concede at all until he folded Her declaration aside, she took care of all the troublesoh she was a anization, she stood by his side and performed perfectly That’s why he was confused at her mysterious behaviour

「…………」(shi+nichi)

「E-erreat since I have acquaintances here and there in the department It’ll be okay I’ll make it so you can live a normal life immediately」(Rinko)

She e hiuous expression

「I-I’ll be troubling you……」(shi+nichi)

Although from her expression you could tell she was dissatisfied, she bitterly suise it and told him to follow her shi+nichi quietly shook his head a little, looking at her back and followed

——calm down, this is not the time to be confused

After all, every fact has been confirmed It has been 8 years, and not 2 From his observation, this facility he toured was no joke Everything from the equipment to personnel was real, credible and even the advanced technological level stunned hi various medical equipment they used on him to check hiy to project a picture in space and interact with it by touch, he was once again reation he was boy A that returned through illegal nificent perfornitude of it meant it was real No s confirmed it everytime, 8 years have passed

assu that in 2 years he spent on Farandia hethe days, the only reason for this discrepancy he could think of was a different time flow in the other dimension There was also the possibility that one of the trips to or from there took 6 years since there is no concept of time in the space betorlds Before he returned to Earth froe to amount to 6 years on this side was not i

「……………am I stupid?」(shi+nichi)

——calm down, this is not the time to be confused

He stopped this train of thought right there and shook his head It’s pointless to ponder it at this point, and he was desperately thinking about it Just thinking right now is useless as well He can’t find a solution to it, so there’s no point in thinking about it now

What he had to think about, is a personal thing he wants to hear

2 years ago for the boy, his parents were a happilymother and a pussy-whipped father, his home was peaceful and his father wasn’t dissatisfied Hisperson, whilst his father was strict in education but a gentle person They did fight sometimes but it was childish, a heated lover’s quarrel

That’s why

He could i hier brother and sister and their relationshi+p with their parents was as good as his shi+nichi doesn’t know the reason behind the breakup of his parents Maybe his fa problems he didn’t know about

I have to know This lady knows the answer Being the current wife of ht know the reason for the divorce He also wanted to ask where his s were

Without knowing, he wouldn’t knohere to go

He had i for him, but he never assumed that his family broke up For him his house was a stable place to return to I want to return YouHe was prepared for all these possibilities, but not for the one where his faine it at the tiht of the possibility of so about how ed

And so, fro, 8 and not 2, years have passed This was shocking, but not asanother wo his mother To top it all of, he now has a half-brother

He has to hear it

What happened in these past 8 years As their son and elder brother he has the right to know

—–I have to ask, no matter what!

「shi+nichi-kun, you’re not sleepy?

The procedures are pretty e a room for you to sleep if you want」(Rinko)

「Ah, it’s okay It waswhen I was over there」(shi+nichi)

After various procedures were done, he noticed it was already “the next “ When he came back, it was daytime in Farandia For the sake of the farce, he firmly slept the day before so now, he wasn’t sleepy at all Lying that it was

「Oh, I see That kind of time difference also occurs

In shi+nichi-kun’s case we still don’t knohere time slipped」(Rinko)

「Y-yeah……」(shi+nichi)

What are you doing, he thought to himself If she knew the truth, not even in her wildest dreauess there were other worlds and that that’s the reason for the time difference Her speculation was the sa the trip to or from

「Ah, you ry Sorry, I did not notice

Since the cafeteria is closed, I’ll go buy so from the convenience store」(Rinko)

She stood up, but shi+nichi stopped her However, since he put it so「don’t be shy」

「……………what a」(shi+nichi)

He was now alone in the roo to his to think about, but what heabout his misery

「I couldn’t ask anything………」(shi+nichi)

About his father,He had to stay with her, here, overnight There was plenty of time to ask The person who nonchalantly surprised Satan in front of the whole world, even though it was only a farce, now, couldn’t ask anything Seeing his state, “she“ stood with her e him

「Kyu, kyuu?」(Fox)

——-What happened master?

She was questioning him with cries, so just in case, he s her confused expression, he could guess it

「You think it’s not like ht?

My bad But even I can become nervous or shaken……I can」(shi+nichi)

Ongoing

His mind can’t cope with the reality of what happened while he ay So from his self-analysis he concluded that he subconsciously doesn’t want to know more facts He knew it, but his mouth was quicker than his brain

「Ah I don’t know anymore, how should I say it」(shi+nichi)

「What?」(Rinko)

「U-uheeh?」(shi+nichi)

Surprised by her suddenly appearing so close in front of him, he panicked and alh breathing and looked at her

「Ah, I’m sorry I’ve surprised you?

When I caht there’s so here」(Rinko)

「N-no Don’t worry But, you were fast」(shi+nichi)

If he’d followed the time from the clock in the room, he’d see that not even 5 s filled with food and drinks

「Un, there’s a kiosk on site and the paid amount will be automatically deducted from your salary On duty officers have no idea ill they be finished so the cashi+er was omitted Just in case, here’s a sandwich and various drinks, eat eat」(Rinko)

(TL: Un-cute version of yes)

「……Ah, thank you Itadakimasu」(shi+nichi)

He orried for a ood faith To be more precise, he didn’t kno to act with her, so he ended up answering with maximum courtesy possible He’s not supposed to say stuff like that “Her“ open mouth was now open as wide as possible

「Kyuu, Kyuaa?」(Fox)

Her anticipation and surprise at hearing her Lord’s words and deeds have left her blinking and rubbing her eyes He was not the type of person that isn’t polite when speaking, but this was the first ti polite while he’s tense He didn’t even notice her feelings and continued opening the package

「……It’s so to remember, the way to open」(shi+nichi)

He started feeling nostalgic There was no hesitation in histhe instructions on the package In these 2 years, he hadn’t touched one at all and while doing so, he actually felt surprise and smiled

「Ah……」(shi+nichi)

「Ha is sweet! Aaah, the sandas like this Like this, un!」(shi+nichi)

Being a little excited, shi+nichi was absorbed in his egg sandwich It was on the Farandian ic taste ht he shouldn’t cry over so like this that’s mass produced and available in any convenience store, but he couldn’t stop

「………There’s more, you don’t have to rush Which drink would you like?」(Rinko)

Without describing the drinks, she pointed to soed as he tree in his hand

「This is………green tea! Aaah, how nostalgic!」(shi+nichi)

「………Kyuii?」(Fox)

He opened the lid, took a bite and poured the liquid down his throat He could remember the movements to open like it was yesterday, it was still faently and a tear dropped from her eyes Since she chose her profession, she watched countless people co tiht of his situation she couldn’t help but feel like crying In the same room, there was another reaction, “her” jaas likely to co lifestyle, so they always enjoyed decentThat made her disturbed

「Puhaa……this taste The taste of tea!

N, ah,Here, you too」(shi+nichi)

He noticed he forgot about her being here and apologized, holding out the bread She was still confused, but she won’t decline food offered to her

「Eh…Kyu, Kyui!?」(Fox)

She was surprised at the softness and tast which differed completely from the ones she ate until nowShe spoke almost involuntarily

「You like that By your taste I’d say this tuna sandwich is your preference, want to eat?」(shi+nichi)

「Kyui!」(Fox)

shi+nichi and Rinko s captivated with the food after a bite The fox sensed the reason why her Lord wept “If he always ate food that tasted like this, I’m convinced”

「You’re close I heard they are creatures that don’t like humans」(Rinko)

「Hahaha………thank you veryher a residence permit to stay here」(shi+nichi)

He laughed and bowed his head to avoid questions about how they became close shi+nichi was surprised that she readily went and got a per hinized and feared

「Eh, ah, raise your head It’ not like I did soentcreature we have to protect its wishes Well, if wecruel, it would be troublesome for us」(Rinko)

shi+nichi nodded with a bitter s it was the truth He didn’t know if Tenkorius and Amaryllis were the same, but what he did know is that “her“ coh After all, he trained her and he knew about her abilities ement to establish a friendly relationshi+p rather than a hostile one was correct To mess with this race for which it’s said that one can destroy a whole country, would be a foolish response After finishi+ng her tuna sandwich and asking by gesture for another one, terror effect was reduced to nil

「……you may eat」(shi+nichi)

「Kyui!」(Fox)

It’s like she’s saying “Then I won’t hold back“ While struggling to ie with her forefoot and beca hiaze It’s so she knoell

「When you’re doing that you look like “nobuhiko-san“ Ah yeah Can you turn around shi+nichi-kun?」(Rinko)

The moht reaction that hewhy, he did as she said That’s when he felt her touch his grown hair from behind

「Ah, u?」(shi+nichi)

「A little I thought I could cut it here Together with the food I bought a hairclip……and we’re done!」(Rinko)

Even though she wore a short hairstyle, she was a lady She casually arranged and lurown hair
