-- "Status anomaly: we have completely cured the otherworldly syndrome. Return to normal."

An announcement sounded in my head.

'Otherworldly ... syndrome?'

I looked at the status.

Before and after the reversal

************************.



Hmm?

The status quo is fully healed.
And on top of that, your baseline is up? .........
What does that mean?

What's going on, Nito?

Toa asked me.

'No it's nothing,'

Why did you make a full recovery?
I don't know why.
But something's changed.
Something inside me.

And all of a sudden, the images around me started to get disrupted again.
And then, as if the power was turned off, all the images disappeared at the same time.

'There!'

Then Toa said that and pointed in a certain direction.

''What ... what?　That one.

360 degrees, it's a silvery white world.
But in one direction only, there is a mist.

...I'm seeing something!

Nem said as he stared into the eyes.

Then the fog lifted and a house appeared there.
It was a short distance from here, a stone's throw away.

'What is that?　What, it looks like a building?

Sufilia had a question mark on her face.
But to me, there's no way I could mistake it for something else.

''It's ... my house.

It was my home when I was in Japan.
My house is next.
Certainly, it's a place that I have a lot of feelings for.
In fact, I lived there for a long time.

Let's go--

I told them all.

'Maybe that's the next stage.

I took a step forward.



That was the moment--



The area suddenly changed to a residential area.
A fresh, warm breeze and the cawing of crows.
And the sunset, which I hated, stabbed at me.

The three of us looked back in amazement as our eyes followed the buildings and scenery around us.
But to me, it's the same familiar, unchanging, boring landscape.

'This is Japan this is the world I've been living in.

The three of them looked at those houses curiously.

'It's kind of a bleak place, isn't it?

Huh, right?

But Toa followed the school, and here, too, he had a look of disinterest on his face.

'Let's go now,'

There's nowhere to look.
That's what I told the three of them.

The place to go is my house at the end of the hall.
And then I felt something, a presence.
I felt a presence in the house, and that presence, in some vague way, was not quite right.

Do you feel anything from that house?　Waves, or simply signs.

I checked with the three of them to be sure.

'No, I don't feel anything,'

Toa said simply.

'How's Nem?'

...Nem doesn't understand.

Nem was tilting his head.
He didn't know what he was talking about.

''Well, what about Sufilia?''

Sufilia stared at the house for a moment and then--

I don't feel anything.

So it's just me...

I don't understand Sufilia either.

But it's not like a wave of magic.
I can feel something creepy.

I lead the three of us to my home for the first time in a long time.

I reach the gate of the house and press the intercom to make sure I'm in the right place.

'What did you do?'

Toa asked curiously.
When I told him about the intercom, he reacted subtly, "Hmmm.

'Does it work by magic?'

Magic?　No, no, no, no, no.　This thing runs on electricity.

Electricity?　Does that mean lightning magic?

Well that's about it.

I didn't know how to say it, but it seemed to make sense to me, so that's good.

'No answer...'

The sound of the intercom was faint, but I was sure I heard it.
But no one answered.
But there was a hint of something.
And yet there is no response.

What's going on?

I opened the gate.

'Let's go in anyway. Well, it's my house, anyway.

"If you say so," said the three of us, following me through the gate.
Then I put my hand on the front door and slowly pulled it open.

................The key is open.

'It's open....'

I gingerly opened the door and peered in through the crack.
A doorway without even one pair of shoes.
The stairs.
And the hallway that leads to the living room.
And then I hear something that sounds like a zing.

'Okay, are we coming in?'

I whispered to the three guys behind me.
I thought, why should I sneak around so much just to be in my own house?

I took off my shoes in the doorway, as if the habit was still in my body.
Then the three of them who were watching me took off their shoes as well, imitating me.
I couldn't help but stare at the three of them as they took off their shoes, but they didn't say anything in particular, so I didn't say anything either.

'Over there,'

I put my index finger in front of my lips, "Shhh," and quietly urged him to follow me.
Then I point with that finger at where I'm going.
Yes, the living room.
I can feel a presence from that direction.
Apparently, the three of them still don't recognize this presence.
This presence, which they felt even from outside the house, became even stronger once they entered the house.
Now I feel it even more, and I no longer know where it comes from.

Relying on my instincts, I continued down the hallway to the living room.
Then I quietly opened the door again.
The first thing I see is the TV that was left on.
The first thing that jumped out at me was the TV that had been left on.
Waves were flowing on the screen.
I walked into the room and looked around, but there was no one there.
But what was it?
Something doesn't feel right.
Several beers lined up on the table.
A bag of snack foods with no contents.
There is a sense of life in this place.
Is someone still there?

It looks just like my house, or maybe it's just the way it is, but I guess it's a dungeon too.
Then is it a monster that's there?　A demon?
But the three of them say they don't feel a sign....

'Looks like it's not here, is it?

Hey?　What were you looking for earlier?

Toa asked as I was alerted.

'Yeah, I've been feeling a bit of a presence for a while now. This.........kind of fuzzy....

Misty?

Oh, don't people do that?

But neither Sufilia nor Nem said they would do the same as they had just heard.

'So you asked me just now,'

Yeah, it's uncanny, I can feel something in the air. And the fact that I'm the only one who can sense it is also worrisome. Maybe there's someone even more dangerous than that doppelgänger I just saw, and the three of you stick with me, okay?

I understand.

I understand.

I'll just go with you.

We left the living room.
Then, once again, we stepped out into the hallway.

"...the bathroom?

There seemed to be a presence in this whole house, and I couldn't tell where the subject was.
I open the bathroom door anyway.
Then I look inside.



But no one is here.
And I think there is a sense of life here as well.
Bath towels and other items are thrown in a messy basket.

I leave and try to go upstairs.
The three of them follow me upstairs.

'Come to think of it, I didn't see you in the bathroom.

I didn't think anyone would be in such a place, so I walked past the bathroom.
I walked between the three of them and the wall, turning my body slightly to the side, and walked back down the narrow hallway a bit.
Then I put my hand on the toilet.
Then, without any preparation, I opened the door with one hand.

'....What?

I was speechless.

"...Heh?

"We" made dumb noises at each other.

A Western-style toilet.
There was a man sitting cramped in a small bathroom, with two horns twisted around his head.
--there was a creature that looked like a large demon incarnate.

".........

A trimmed beard.
Twisted horns and pointed ears. Other than that, it's shaped like a human, but it's clearly something else.
And most importantly, it's huge, even though it's sitting there!

Whoa!

I couldn't help but be late in being surprised.

'Geez!

Then the toilet bowl demon was startled and screamed in response to my voice.
I yelled again, startled by his huge voice.

'Geez!

Then, startled by my voice, the demon shouted again.

'Shut up!

I blackmailed the demon who made a funny pause and now started screaming deliberately.
How terrified are you that you're at this stage.....
He's a joke.

''Aaaaah!　Ahhhh... ah? ......... I mean, you're a master, right?''

I gradually cooled down in surprise, and then the demon said to me.

''What?''

Master? .........
Those were the first words that came out of the toilet bowl demon's mouth.
