It's your old world. I used to think that I wanted to come back.

So it was different then, or is it different now?

　Luna's expression seemed to lighten up a bit.

'I've got everyone here. I'd rather be with my family than go back to my old world.

Mr. Hurt!

　Luna hugged me.
　She looks kind of happy.

''Actually ... I've found a way to get back to my old world.

What?

But I couldn't tell you because I was afraid that if I told Hurt-san about it, he'd get lost.


　This is the oldest dungeon in the world that we stepped into last year. On the last floor there, there was a huge stone monument with all sorts of information written in divine script.

　There were so many things written on it that even Luna, who could read any writing, couldn't grasp everything in a day.

　So for a few days, Citry and I continued the process of transferring Luna to that dungeon, and she would decipher it.

　That's where Luna obtained information about 'Interworld Transfer Magic'.

　The magic that transfers from this world to the world that Luna and I were in - it seems that if this is a combination of me and Luna, it can be used.

　All you need is a magic circle drawn using the divine character, so I, who have infinite magical power, just need to draw a magic circle according to Luna's instructions.


''I'm sorry I didn't tell you.......after all, do you want to go back to the original world?''

　Luna, who has finished explaining the whole thing, looks at me with an anxious expression.

'Luna, thanks for telling me. I think I'd like to go back to my old world at least once and see how things are going. I want to know if my family ... especially my sister, is doing well.

　But I'm also worried.
　As far as I know, there was no such thing as magic in the original world.

　Even if I returned to my original world, there was a chance that I wouldn't be able to return to this world with transfer magic.

　That's the only thing I didn't want to do, I definitely didn't want to do that.

'I hate not being able to see Luna and everyone else. That's why I'm not going to use inter-world transfer magic until I have proof that I can return to this world.

　I still have some work to do.

　I can't see myself trying to go back to my old world, at least not until I've accomplished that.


'But if Luna really wants to go back to her world, I'll help her with that. I don't want Luna to be gone...really, I don't want her to be gone.

Wow! I'm not going away!　I am Mr. Hurt's wife, and I am a member of House Elnor. My home is on this side of the world.

　These words made me happy and I hugged Luna with all my might.

''Ha, Hurt-san I'm in a bit of pain,''

I'm sorry. For a minute, the thought of losing Luna freaked me out a little bit.

　Luna knew how to get back to her world and couldn't tell me that, probably because she felt the same way I do now.

'I'm not going away. I'll always be here. With Luna and everyone else.

Yes. Our Lord cannot lose you, my dear.

　Before I knew it, Yoko woke up.
　She seemed to have been listening to him on the way.

'Halt-sama. If you ever return to your world, I'll be with you, okay?
We'll be right behind you.
Me too!　I'm a little nervous about whether there's any mana in Mr. Hurt's world, but...

　Tina, Mai, May, and Rifa have also come to my side.

　Rifa is worried about whether the world I used to be in has mana. It is because the pure elven race is more likely to get sick in a space that is completely devoid of mana.

''If there's no mana in Halt's world, why don't we just increase it ourselves?

　I think I could make it happen when Sylph, the Spirit King, who is a huge chunk of mana, says.

''There was a goddess over there too, you know. There may have been someone who used magic, too, without me or Hurt-san knowing about it.''

　........I see.

　In the original world, Luna met the Goddess. That means that the world over there might actually be a fantasy world that I don't know about.

I'm sure you'll be glad to know that I'm with you when you go to another world. I will negotiate with the god of my other world to help you get back to us if anything happens.

　White says something reassuring.
　As expected of a divine beast.

"Even if I fail to negotiate with the gods of the other world, I don't think the Creator will abandon me. Follow me and you'll be safe first.

You can't ask the creator of the world to help you.

'Yes!　That's what the Divine Beast is for.

　I feel like I'm doing a lot of things wrong, but it's still reassuring to have White around to talk to the gods whenever I want.

　I'll make sure to bring White along with me when I use inter-world transfer someday.


Neeeeee. Gather around........is it time for breakfast?

　Merdi woke up.

　Unlike Tina and Yoko and the others who were listening to me and Luna's conversation, she really did seem to be asleep by now.

　The slime girls were still asleep, but other than that, they all woke up.

'Merdi, good morning. Everyone's up and I'm going to prepare breakfast now. Just wait and see.

　I don't usually cook for myself, but this is not my mansion.

　It's the only time I'll cook for you.

Are you going to make a meal today?

I will.

Mr. Hurt, are you sure you want to do this?

Yeah. Sometimes I like to cook too.

　By now, the ice knights I sent to hunt should be back.

　I had released a few ice knights in the vicinity to alert the perimeter. While I was doing that, I also had them hunt for edible monsters and collect fruit.

　Incidentally, the reason I didn't make them flame knights is because they're not suited for nighttime covert activities. If a flame knight walked around, the demons would immediately notice them and run away.

　That would make the whole forest we're in now noisy and make it difficult for everyone to sleep peacefully.


''If Hurt's going to make dinner, I'd rather have fried rice!

You're not getting fried rice in the morning.
''No matter how much of a home-cooked meal Hurt-sama has cooked, fried rice is a bit...''

　Lixin and Tina don't like it.

　I don't think we're going to have fried rice in the morning.
　There's no rice to begin with.

Well, how about pizza?
Oh, the pizza is good!

　Luna agrees with Yoko's suggestion.

　

　I mean, I don't have any dough or anything.


　When I was thinking that, the ice knights came back.

　It seems that they conveniently harvested the 'breadfruit', a fruit that looks like bread when baked.

　And after confirming that, a few of them disappeared from the place.

　A little while later...


I picked up some tomato sauce.
I'll take Chiesa.

　Before I knew it, Mai, May, and Citry made their way back to the mansion and grabbed some tomato-like fruit sauce and some cheese. As expected, I thought the sauce was impossible, so nice.

''Master Halt. It seems the Ice Knights have finished off the Hornrabbits. I'll take care of these bloodletting things.
Mother, I want to help you.

　Kikyou had a few horned rabbits.

'Yeah. Nice to meet you.

Master Hurt, let's burn it down!

　Tina summons a stone golem and gives it some instructions...

　In the blink of an eye, the stone kiln was complete.
　The golem morphed into a stoneware kiln.

"Oh. Oh, wow, look at this.

Hartoo!　I got the herbs.

　I was interested in Tina's golem and Sylph got me some basil-like leaves.

　Now I can make a margherita.
　I think I'll make a meat pizza for the hornrabbit meat.

　........Huh?
　I hardly ever cook, do I?

　I said I'd make breakfast, but somehow we're all starting to split up and start working on it.

　It's a big deal in the morning.


　But it's fun to do this kind of thing.
