Chapter 240 Detention Students
I slammed the thick file titled “Otherworldly Investigation Report” closed,
Very well, sir.
I’m sure you’ll agree.
Yagyu and the others are already back on the bus.
I was alone in the classroom after school, reading through the material like a student who had been left behind.
So the Otherworld is a carbon copy of the world we live in.
“After five rounds of research, here’s the answer… The details are in the document. The destruction of the Otherworld was authorized by my superiors.
And Satome-kun, who stayed with us so well.
“In other words, they are responsible for [destroying the entire other world].”
“Well, in this case the harm is greater, so I guess it’s all right.”
By the way, that wasn’t the last of the doors to the other world, was it?
Yes. It seems there’s a door here and there, and each one leads to a different, inferior copy of the other world.
If we have to destroy the portal again, what’s the procedure?
We’ll send a survey team to check if it’s safe to destroy it, and then we’ll ask the higher-ups to decide… And then Toru will deploy.
“Hmm…”
Nodding vaguely, I wonder if it’ll be all right if we take our time like that. I think.
In fact, the number of zombie attacks is only increasing.
However, I understand why you’re cautious.
From a humanitarian point of view, if there’s a call for help, we can’t not help them.
But then again, you’re a very difficult opponent. We’re enemies.
“Hostile? I mean, what do you mean?”
Whoever created this situation. And you’re going to fight that someone sooner or later, aren’t you?
“Fight, fight… Fight.”
Riryu Nanashiri, you look like someone who just got eaten by a sea cucumber for the first time,
“Well, if it’s someone we can fight. But they’re the kind of opponent that could build an entire world. That’s like a god, isn’t it? I mean…”
“God or no God, isn’t that a reason why we shouldn’t beat the hell out of those who joke around?”
“Level 85… That’s tough…”
Riryu-kun smiles a little bit.
But your people are capable of destroying that whole world.
I know that’s true, but…
“When Thor wakes, tell him. [He’ll be back for more of your help.”
Then Riryu rubs the top of his nose and nods.
“Okay. I’ll certainly tell him… But maybe Toru will come to you.
“What?”
No. There’s talk of a portal to the other universe in the Kingdom. Depending on how things go, he may have to come after you.
Okay, well…
Well, whatever it is, I have to move on now.
… I’m really not in the mood for it, or… Lately I’ve been feeling like I’m actively trying to kill myself.
I have one more concern.
Amamiya Tsururi’s attitude just now… She may think she’s hiding it well, but everyone knows. Maybe even Migoto can tell.
She, uh, looks like someone wants her back.
Well, in this world, I wouldn’t be surprised if there are one or two people like that.
“Whew…”
I furrow my brow and make a note of what has happened recently.
Momoka Koi Kawachi should already be less than a dozen minutes away by car.
I’m sure I’ll remember something there.
Then may what I have done now be lost forever.
There are four main problems we’re facing right now.
[amnesia recovery…]
It seems to be possible with the help of Momoka Koiwauchi.
Momoka-san is accompanied by a person called Kurakudo Sasae-san, and she will cooperate with me because she owes me a debt.
About starving people…
The “player” becomes some kind of bad guy with a bad skin color.
I’m scared and I want to figure out the secret of the mutation as best I can.
By the way, when I asked Satome-kun, the “guardian” about this matter, he seemed to have never heard of it.
Mr. Toll might know something, but… Well, we’ll talk to him next time we see him.
About the “Infinite Wellspring”…
The zombies are coming out of the door.
So, if we close all the doors, then the endless flow will be over?
The door can be destroyed with Light Magic X. (Is there any other way?)
The kingdom that you and Reika represent.
If what you’re saying about resuscitating the dead is true, we could use your help.
He seems like a bad guy, but maybe you can talk to him.
Mr. Tsururi, is there someone you really want to bring back to life?
If that’s true, I’d like to help you as much as I can.]
etc., etc.
I glanced at my watch,
Well, I guess it’s time to…
And he says goodbye.
Then, Riryu,
“Oh… Wait a minute!”
“?”
“If it’s all right with you, Mr. 85… How about dinner sometime?”
“Lottery?”
You want me to replenish your magic with him?
“I’m… I’ve been into cooking lately. You know, cooking is a valuable culture that humans have built up. It’d be a shame to lose that. Don’t you think?”
“I agree.”
His monjayaki tasted like it could be served in a restaurant.
So I’ll treat you. I’ll prepare the best ingredients. I’d love to.
Yeah. Okay.
Well, if everything goes smoothly and my memory comes back… maybe we’ll see each other again,
“Whenever you get a chance, sir.”
“Got it.”
Then may we both survive.
“Usu.”
It was only five minutes later that I realized it was an invitation for a dating something.
Oh, my God.
I thought I’d done it perfectly.
Hundred percent silence will be a painful meeting. Hundred percent.
… Hmm…
Well.
I’ll take care of the future.
Please, future me.
I dare not write this one down in my memo.
