Shuki and Adriana were invited in.

A woman with a face similar to Adriana's was waiting for them at the entrance. Her hair was brown, but her eyes were green.

"Adriana, welcome home.

"Mother, I'm home!"

Shuki was a little envious of her kind mother, when she noticed him.

"Addy, please introduce me to the person who brought you here.

My mother seems to call her Adi," Shuki thought fluently in a corner of his mind.

"Oh, you know, there's someone I've been learning a lot from, his name is Shuki Tsezi.

"My name is Shuki."

For some reason, Adriana could not pronounce Tsutsui correctly, and Shuki had given up on that recently.

"My name is Laariana Tierra. I understand that my daughter is in your care.

She spoke calmly and had a soft and gentle manner. Shuki suddenly remembered his mother back home.

"Please come in, this is not the right place."

"Yes, yes."

Adriana's father and brother were looking at her with a scowl in the background, but Rahliana was unconcerned and beckoned Shuki to come in.

The outside was a metal dome, but the inside looked normal.

Shuki, however, had no way of knowing what was < in this world, but only compared it to Adriana's laboratory.

And Adriana's laboratory is, of course, made to resemble the inside of this dome, which is a house.

In fact, as far as the interior is concerned, the Tierra residence is the regional standard.

To be more precise, the interior was modeled after the interior of this house.

"You must be tired. Please take a bath first.

"Is this bath ......? Yes, please.

I was grateful for this offer, because when I was at the institute in Adriana, I could use the bath only on rare occasions, partly to save water and fuel.

"Well, Shuki, see you later!"

Adriana turned away from her father and ran to her room.

"Well, well. You are still a restless girl.

After seeing her off, Láriana led Shuki down the hallway to the side.

"Here we are. Take your time."

The walls were not made of metal, wood, or even stone.

They might be synthetic resin ......."

In 1963, when Shuki was living in Japan, plastic was not as widespread as it is today, so it is not surprising that it took him a while to think of it.

However, Shuki was still too ignorant about the world to realize that the existence of such materials was an anomaly.

"Ah, it's nice hot water.

Shuki stretches his arms and legs in the bathtub, which is fairly spacious.

He had been going to the public bathhouse in the neighborhood when he was staying at the boarding house, so he was used to the spacious bathtub.

"But it's a strange building.

It looks a bit like the I saw in a children's magazine. The dome shape is a bit like the one I saw in a children's magazine.

And there was no soap here either.

"Somehow the level of civilization is not quite the same. ......"

Shuki thinks this, but then again soon,

"I wonder if other worlds should necessarily follow the same path as the earth. ......

Shuki thinks again, "Other worlds don't necessarily follow the same path as the earth.

And if there is magic in the world, it will develop in a different way.

"How can I explain who I am? ......"

Shuki was a little worried.

While he was taking a bath, Shuki's clothes were cleaned. < magic or some other means.

Adriana's mother, Rahliana, who seemed to have sensed that Shuki had gotten out of the bath, came over immediately.

He led Shuki to the dining room.

The dining room was a room about 20 tatami in size with a rectangular table in the center that could seat about 10 people.

He said, "Please have a seat.

"You must be hungry. I'll be ready for dinner soon.

Then came Adriana, who had also apparently changed after taking a bath.

Instead of her usual researcher-like clothes, she was wearing a dress with a long skirt that barely showed her toes.

"Sit down, Addy. Dinner is ready.

Shuki whispered in the same way,

"......It looks really good on you," he said.

Adriana's cheeks turned a little and she said, "Thank you".

Soon after, Adriana's father, Uweit, and her youngest brother, Donnavagh, arrived and sat down.

Facing Shuki and Adriana on his right, his father Uweit was in the center of the front, and Donavaag was on his right. To the left of Uweit was Lahriana.

Donavagh started to get up, but Uweit stopped him.

"Let's hear him out. Go on.

"I'm from Japan, on Earth. I'm a medical student living at 64 Azabu-Kougai-cho, M-ku, Tokyo.

Say all of this at once.

"I was on my way to a used bookstore on my bicycle to take the textbooks I used until my second year, when I got caught in an accident between a streetcar and a truck at the Kasumicho intersection. ...... I found myself being saved by a young lady."

"Hmm. ......"

"I was the only one left in this world and the lady saved me. I can't thank you enough. Not that I can thank her for that, but I have spent my life trying to help her with her research. At the same time, you have made a place for me in this world where I do not belong. ...... nothing more, nothing less."

After hearing this, Uweit looked straight into Shuki's eyes. His gaze was so strong that Shuki thought he might even be able to read his thoughts.

"......?"

Shuki felt his consciousness darken for a moment, but it seemed to be his imagination.

He looked to the side and saw Adriana looking at him with concern.

She was holding Shuki's clothes tightly and kept saying something and then shutting her mouth again.
