　Yuta Morizono, twenty-five years old, a working adult, I walk out of a supermarket and a wilderness spreads out before me. .................. Please help me.

　How did this happen?　Since when did the automatic doors of supermarkets lead directly into the wilderness? I turn around and there's no automatic door where it should be. I take out my phone and tablet from my bag and check the signal, but both of them are out of range.

　It's the long-awaited Golden Week. I was able to successfully get paid vacations and got eleven consecutive holidays. I headed to the supermarket to buy a large amount of food in order to digest the manga, rano-books, and games that I had piled up in my house.

　A lot of instant foods. Retort foods. Frozen foods. Canned food. Cases of premium beer. My favorite whiskey and sake. Red and white wine. Shochu. All kinds of snacks. We bought a lot of snacks. We were so excited.

　I couldn't carry it all by myself, so I loaded up my cart and headed for the parking lot ......, but somehow I ended up in the wilderness. The cart is right in front of me. I wonder how long frozen food lasts?　The harsh sun is beating down on the cart.

　I don't know why, but I can't stand still. Let's look for someone. Reddish brown earth all around. In the distance, I see a tower-like rocky hill. It looks like the Monument Valley I saw on TV.

　I'm stuck. ...... I thought I was looking at something high, but it seems I am on top of a rocky hill. I tried to go around but there is no place to get off. I am an indoor person. I've never been rock climbing.

　Is this America?　There are no roads around. Cars aren't likely to drive through. Maybe we should make up some SOS letters.

　I look around, but there's nothing but rocks. ...... It wouldn't stand out if we made SOS out of rocks of the same color. Maybe we could use the food from the cart?　If they were arranged individually, they would stand out, but if they were placed individually on the ground, the frozen food would melt rapidly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　For the time being, we should put the frozen foods together and make SOS letters with other foods and beverages. Direct sunlight on whiskey, sake or wine ...... would make me cry.

　But they are glass, so we can expect some light reflection. I can't drink all of them in this situation. I bought three bottles of each kind. ...... I hope help is on the way. Please, please find me before the booze goes bad. You head for the cart to put the food in order with determination.

　...... sun hit your brain?　I see a little girl on the cart. She is peering curiously into a plastic bag.

　She is about two years old?　She's cute, dressed like a leaf. He was not supposed to be there earlier, but ...... he was in the wilderness without knowing it, and he got a little girl without knowing it. I feel like I'm going to be ...... socially obliterated.

　I don't have a taste for Lolita, would you believe it?　If we were in America, we would be in danger of being shot. I wonder intensely if things have gotten better or worse.

"Oh, sweetie. Why are you here?　Where are your parents?　I'd like you to help me if you can."

　When I spoke to him, he looked at me with a strange expression on his face. Did I scare you?　Please don't cry if you can help it. I don't have the skills to soothe a child.

　The little girl looks at me curiously, tilts her head cocked and points to herself. Cute.

"Yes. It's you. Where's your mother or father?"

　I ask as gently as possible so as not to startle him again. For some reason, the little girl floats up and moves softly from side to side.

　I look at her fluffy, crinkly, shiny emerald green hair. I thought it might be possible, but if she flies away, I'm screwed.

　It's been three years since I started working. Sure, I have my geek interests, but I thought I'd locked away my young mind from creating black history. But seeing a young girl with emerald green hair flying in the sky, I can't help but wonder if I'm going to be transported to another world.

　I'm a little embarrassed to admit that I'm a little excited. I move my face along with the fluffy young girl. I hope she is not a dangerous creature.

"Do you see it?"

　The little girl asks me again, tilting her head cockily.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I can see you."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I can see you perfectly. Are they usually invisible?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Can you hear my voice?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. You can hear me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Wow, that's great!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Suddenly, the little girl's tension rises and she is spinning around in the air and wiggling her arms and legs. What happened?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Um, calm down a bit. Is it unusual for me to see you?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. It's amazing to be able to see the world!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　...... Seirei are spirits?　Well, it's a fantasy world for sure. So, if it's so great that you can see it, does that mean you've been given a cheat?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　What a cutie. I can't help but pet her head. It's so fluffy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ooh-ooh-ooh. I can touch it. I can touch it. I can touch it so good. It's amazing."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Oh-huh. Excitement is at an all-time high. Can't you spin around so much in the air that you can't see?　I'm going to have to ask you to calm down for now.

"Well, you're a genie, aren't you? What's your name?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Name?　My name is ...... and my name is secret. You can't tell me easily."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He's looking at me with a "that was close" expression on his face. I'm not trying to trick you.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, so it's a secret. I'm sorry I asked. Can you tell me where we are?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"This is...Shino Daichi."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He told me with a two-pound laugh. It's cute, but the name he gave me sounded a little scary. Could it be the land of the dead?　That's not very fancy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, yeah. Is there anywhere nearby that's inhabited?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"People?　I don't know!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't know ...... . You don't know because you're a kid?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Let's see. I need to get down from here. Can you help me?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"??　You want to get off?　How?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I can't. We're not having a conversation. I feel like I'm in a lot of trouble. We've got to do something.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hey, do you know any spirits that might know people and come here?　If you know, I'd be happy to bring you here."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I know. I'm off.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, wait a minute. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The little girl flew away with a "squeal. It's so fast, I'm not sure if she'll come back with ...... me. I wonder if the little girl is in control of my life right now.　The more I think about it, the more worried I get.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Let's stop thinking and get our stuff in order. Put cold things together with cold things, and put them under the cart as far as possible out of the sun.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It's still cold and hard, so it's okay, but it's going to go bad soon. I'll make a shade with cardboard cases of instant food and beer just in case. The retort pouch is okay, but what should I do with the frozen food?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As I was rummaging around in my cart, I heard a "cackle" from behind me. I turned around to see a beautiful woman standing there, holding a young genie in her arms. You're back here so soon.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She has the same emerald green hair, so is she a mother?　But the little girl's hair is fluffy, while the mother's is silky and straight, so there is a possibility that they are different. I wonder if genies give birth to children in the first place.

"Nice to meet you. My name is Yuta Morizono. I apologize for calling you.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hmm, that's fine. But you really can see us."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But you're beautiful. No, not a person, but a spirit. Her skin is translucent white. Silky hair. She looks like a foreign supermodel. She's beautiful and cool.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes. Is it unusual for you to be able to see her?　I don't really know what's going on, because it looks so normal.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, it is. That's very unusual. Even those of us who have an affinity for spirits can only vaguely sense them, and even hearing their voices is rare. Are you really human if you can see and touch them?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Oh, cheat?　I might be able to blueeeeee. I feel a tingle in my sealed middle-school heart.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It's so rare. I think I'm human because I don't remember ever being human. What kind of things can you do if you can see spirits?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'm excited. It should be straight thinking to figure out how to return as a member of society. ...... father. Mom. Brother. Sister. I'm sorry.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, I'm sorry. It will be easier to make a contract with the spirits since you can see them and talk to them. Few people can make a contract with spirits, so I think it will be a big advantage.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, that sounds great. I don't mean to be rude, but if I ask you to sign a contract with me, is it possible?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I would be so happy if I could make a contract with such a beautiful spirit.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, I can't."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No? I'm sorry."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'm pretty shocked.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It's not that I can't. A contract with you would be interesting, but you simply don't have enough magic power. You don't have enough magic power to make a contract with this girl, let alone me."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The spirit of the elder sister smiles while patting the head of the little girl. Is my magic not strong enough?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"If my magic power increases, will you make a contract with me?　No, how can magic power be increased in the first place?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　You have magic before that. Maybe it's a world of swords and sorcery.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"As your level goes up, so does your magic. I'll sign you up for a contract with minimum magic power. Oh, I didn't tell you my name. I'm Sylphie, the Great Spirit of Wind. Nice to meet you.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There are levels. It's a complete fantasy world. What's the minimum magic power?　And a great spirit sounds amazing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Huh?　I was told by the girl that I shouldn't tell the genie's name so easily.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, young lower class spirits like these children don't have external names. My Sylphy has an external name too. If you make a contract with her, you must give her a name.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"A name? I'll do my best to think of one when I get a chance, but it's difficult."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A young genie stares at me with sparkling eyes. You want a name?　I'm not so sure, naming things is so hard. No, I need you to tell me how to get out of this place. I don't want you to leave me here in the land of the dead.
