After the close of business one day, Hild came to visit the White Wolf Store as I had promised in advance.

'Sorry to disturb you. Have you finished your work yet?
Oh, come in. I'm done cleaning up. Noir and Alexia are waiting in the back, so let's get started.

　I welcomed Hild indoors and led him towards the living room instead of the store.

　The profile of him looked like he was enjoying himself, so I was really just casually giving him a sideways glance, when Hild noticed it and looked up at me.

''To tell the truth, I've been wanting to try the example again for a long time. Ever since the audience between His Majesty and Demon King Gandalf, I couldn't bring myself to say it because the situation wasn't that good. ......
It was definitely a lot of work to do.

　But that has temporarily calmed down.

　By focusing on preparing for the diversionary raiding strategy and the main mission, the effort we put into the other areas will be relatively less, and we will have more time to complete the tasks.

　Once all of the preparations are complete, we will have plenty of time to execute the mission, but at least we will have time to relax until then.

　There is probably no other time like this when we can privately seek out the secrets of the Right Eye.

　Otherwise, it will have to wait until the end of the campaign.

That's why. I'll do my best today, so I'll be looking forward to working with you.
That's a solid piece of work.

　With that in mind, I step into the living room where Noir and Alexia are waiting for me.

　The three women immediately exchange greetings with each other.

　I'm sure you'll find that it's a strange way to behave as a stranger, but when you think about it, it's only an indirect relationship through me, and it's not the kind of relationship that makes you feel like you're in good terms with each other.

'...... Well, Sir Hild. In examining your 'right eye', Luke, is there anything we should be aware of in examining your 'right eye'?
'Yes, ...... If I may be forced to say so, there may be some information in the present(ish) land(ish) that the Royal Palace has decreed to be private. Please be aware that I will use my discretion to add censorship to those.
Yes, that's fine. If you know too many unnecessary things, you won't live long. Life is an important thing.
Well, that's as far as you can go: ......

　Hild looks puzzled and confused by Alexia's interminable joke, as she is having trouble reacting to it.

　This area should be called the difference in personality wavelength between the two sides.

It's a good idea to make sure that we can do what we intended before we investigate together with you all. Commander Luke, would you please take a seat in that chair?
"Oh ...... that ...... I, too, see ...... up close and also ......
Yeah, that's okay. Go ahead.

　On the other hand, Hild also seems to feel quite comfortable with Noir.

　Maybe it's because he is a calm and timid character, or maybe it's because we are both wizards, albeit in different fields.

''Well then, excuse me.''

　Hild holds his hands over the 'right eye' that he had activated during the exchange between the three of them and gradually permeates the magic power.

　A sensation similar to the one just before falling asleep arises and my consciousness sinks deeper and deeper into the depths of my mind.

　However, my consciousness doesn't fade away like it does when I really fall asleep, but rather the consciousness itself remains clear, as if it is free from my body and goes around to the back side of myself - oh, I can't understand it when I try to put it into words.

'Commander Luke, can you hear me?'

　Hild's voice echoes vaguely.

　It seems that because his consciousness is like this, even the way he hears the sounds that reach his ears is strange.

''Although it is somewhat, I can see a strange reaction. Let's pull up the Commander's consciousness for a moment and redo the partition--''

　It was that moment.

　When I thought my surroundings were suddenly filled with tremendous light, a torrent of dazzling light flowed down like a waterfall.

　I was unable to resist the torrent of light, and was unable to do anything but stretch out my arms to hear Hild's voice, which was fading away in the blink of an eye, and fall down without any way to accomplish it.

''--!　--!　----!"?

　Hild's voice can no longer be heard as a sound.

　His vision was dyed white and his five senses were no longer able to function.










　-- I found myself lying on my back in a back alley of a strange city.

　Blue sky, narrow sky.
　A dead end, surrounded by tall buildings in three directions.

　The sky, cut out like a frame, was blue and clear, and the sun was about to reach the middle of the sky.

"(Oh ...... that ......?)

　The ground is covered with a hard, stony substance.

　The air that reaches my nostrils has a faint urban odor that is naturally lacking, and there is no smell of earth or greenery in the air.

　And the small sounds coming from outside the alleyway seem to be the noise of several vehicles busily passing by on the road.

　Up to four of my five returning senses, minus my taste buds, were really telling me that this was not Green Hollow.

(...... power, but I can't get in ...... anyway, I have to at least get up. ......)

　It's impossible to even grasp the current situation while lying on your back.

　Even if I'm the only one who has been dragged into the world of memory, I can't do anything about it without first confirming the situation.

　But my body is strangely heavy, and it doesn't move as I would like it to.

''No, wait a minute. If we are in that world, then why do things make noise(s)?

　In the previous case, the city had been eerily quiet, as the world of the recreated ancient magical civilization had no inhabitants and inevitably no human activity.

　But this time it was clearly different. The city was alive.

　Moved by the impatience for the abnormal situation, I somehow managed to raise my upper body, and then strange girls came calling out to me from the left and right - no, girls with familiar faces from one side of the room.

''Ah!　Good, did you notice?
'I didn't have to send for people to come all the way out. You don't look too bad.

　I am stunned and unable to speak.

　But as if to fold further, the unbelievable reality hits me.

"...... Um, this is .......

　I'm speechless, startled by the sound of my own voice.

　What was that? Her voice is too young.

　He reflexively touches his face, stares at his palm, and then touches his face again.

　The elven girl seems to have interpreted my action, which might have been seen as an oddity from the flag's point of view, as confusion right after she regained consciousness, and with a gentle smile, she took out a folding hand mirror and unfolded it in front of me.

'Don't worry, I'm not hurt. See, you're fine, right?

　The reflection of me there had clearly changed into a figure that was less than half my original age.

　The girls seemed to be proceeding on the premise of protecting me as a strange boy, with me being slammed into a remarkable mess.

'For now, I guess we should take him to the Keisatsu.
'Let's get him to everyone first. Maybe we'll find your people.
"Ummm, yeah. ...... Hey, you wanna put up?

　An elf girl smiling and reaching out her hand.

　And behind the elf girl is an Eastern girl standing with a muffled face.

　I know them. I may not know their voices or personalities, but their faces are etched in my memory.

　Eir Sethloomnir and Hinokahime - the allies of Alfazul that I once saw in the still world - were there with a certain sense of reality.
