276 # 276 God's help and remorse.








 What do you mean? Was that "gate" not just a transition gate, but a dimensional transition gate to another world?
 Was it possible for Aelyrius Parellius, who was good at space-time magic, to do that too? No, it wasn't possible, but the irregularity that is me made it possible.

''Toya-san? Are you okay?

 I've fallen silent and Sancho-san calls out to me.

''Oh, no, I'm fine. I was surprised that I seemed to be sent farther away than I thought...''
You got blown up? So Toya-san is up here with transference magic or something?
Yes. Seems so....

 Sancho-san, who is peeking at me anxiously, gives me a distressing answer. I'm sure there's magic in this world too.
 I'm not going to be able to get out of the house. I'm not going to be able to get around, and now I'm in a mood to think about it.
 Sancho said he had a shop in the capital and reminded us to stop by when we came there.
 Now, what to do.

The Gate.

 I activate my transfer magic, but it doesn't connect to anywhere. Ehh.........
 How do I go back.........
 This is pretty bad........ If he goes missing over there, there'll be a big mess....
 Just when I was about to panic, the phone in my pocket announced an incoming call. When you take it out, you see the words "Incoming call God".
 Wow! Literally, God help us!

Hello?
''Oh, there's a connection. Fuyao-kun, are you okay?
Safe is safe, but I'm a little freaked out...
'Hahaha. I didn't expect to be transferred to another world. Wait for me, I'll send a car for you.

 Picking me up? ? Before Mark could even get his head around it, a light converged in front of him, and with a flash of light, someone appeared from within it.

'Totally..... Take care of it.
"Hanakoi Sis...

 The one who came out of the light was the love god's sister Hanakoi. She looked dumbfounded and put her hands on her hips.

''Over there, Amber and the others are suddenly disappearing, the phones aren't working, and it's been hard for me to figure out what's going on. Yae would call me in tears.

 Achaa........ I see, the magic power supplying Amber and the others can no longer reach them. That's right, you can't help but wonder if something has happened.

''We couldn't completely feel Fuyoru-kun's presence either, so we knew he had disappeared from this world. So we contacted the World God and asked him to look for you.
I'm sorry to have bothered you...

 It shouldn't have been more than an hour in time, I thought, but apparently about ten hours had passed when I passed through the transition gate.
 I could understand why Yae would be worried if the amber that was in front of me disappeared. He must have decided that I was no longer in a proper state.

''So how do I get back to my world?''
''It would be good if we could use the Cross-Space Transition, but it's still too much of a burden for Fuyao-kun. So we'll go to the divine world once and return to the original world from there.

 It's a bad joke that it's easier to go to God's world than it is to go to another world.
 Well, is it easier for me to go to the world that only God can enter than to get through the two 'world wards' here and over there? I suppose it would be absolutely impossible for the others to do so.
 At any rate, I used the 'Gate' to go to the Divine World, and God was still sitting in the same four and a half tatami room, waiting for me.

''I'm sorry for the inconvenience...''
No, no, no, it's no big deal. It's just one of those things that happens all the time.

 Apparently so. The world is full of otherworldly transference. In our world, God's concealment must be one of them.

Anyway, the sooner you get back, the better to reassure them. I'll tell you another time.
Yes. I'm sorry.

 Apologizing to the gods once again, I opened the "Gate" and me and my sister Hanakoi returned to the top floor of the temple on Parellius Island, the original place we had transitioned to.
 What I saw there was Yae sitting upright in front of the 'Gate', the Doctor examining the 'Gate', and the knights under the four representatives of this island watching from afar as they surrounded it.

'I'm home,'
'And Fuyuyo-dono...? Lord Winter Night!

 When I called out to her, Yae stood up as if she had been played and hugged me towards me. Guhaha. It's incomparable in many ways to Suu........

''I'm worried........I was worried, that I was....... The amber will disappear and we can't reach them........ Geez, I thought I've gone back to my old world........

 Okay, so I was worried about that. I stroked my silky black hair as I hugged a sobbing Yae.

''There's no way I'm going to leave Yae and the others behind, is there?''
Gusu.........yes.......
'Sorry about the good vibes, but there's another person here that I'm worried about.

 I looked to the side and saw the doctor staring at me with his eyes.

'I'm worried about you. I'm sorry.
'It's kind of a stick figure, and I think there's a difference between it and Yae, but I'll leave it at that. So, can you tell me where on earth this 'gate' was connected to?
Yeah, I'll tell you what...

 I'm at a loss for how to explain this to him as I watch the Central Imam come up the stairs downstairs.
 Hmmm. What should I do?





'Another world...? Was it a 'gate' to another world...?

 The four representatives under the Central Imam and the Four Representatives were more than just the original, the Doctor was also astonished by the astonishing revelation. In the end, I decided to be honest. It's not like anyone but me could activate it anyway. Whether or not you believe me is another matter.

I'm not sure if I should call it an underworld. It's similar to our world, but it seems to be a different world in many ways.

 I showed him the map that Sancho had shown me, which I had taken with my camera and transcribed with a "drawing" of it.

'So this was the 'new land' that Master Aelyrius Parellius had mentioned...'

 Dient mutters softly. Perhaps that's correct. To be precise, Aelyrius Parellius, who had been researching otherworldly transference, had died, and his four high-ranking apprentices who had inherited it had tried to use it to travel to a world without Frase.
 But the disciples were far from reaching a genius as good as Aelius Parellius. In the end, he was unable to complete it, and his descendants were trapped on this island.

''Well, now you guys have more options. You can continue to live your lives as before, fighting the giant beasts. Or you can break the boundaries and live your lives by interacting with the outside world. Or you can keep your barriers intact and only let those who want to go to the outside world go free. Or will you pass through the 'Gate' and travel to another world?

 The room went quiet in the conference room. Regardless of that, I continued to speak.

'Let me tell you something, if you're going to the other world, at the end of the day, you should expect to never come back. I was fortunate enough to be able to return, but it's almost impossible for you guys to do so. You won't be able to speak the language or understand the world situation over there. I want you to be prepared for this before you give me your answer.

 To be honest, this is a world where the double-headed dragons are wandering around. It's not as safe as modern Japan. If I were to guess, it's probably the same level as here. The only thing safer than this world is that the flames don't come.

I don't have any answers for you right now. Can you give me a few days?
'That's fine. We're in no particular hurry. Please take your time to discuss it.

 I nodded quietly at the words of the Central Imam. She has a point, and it's about deciding the future fate of the inhabitants of this island. We'd better talk it over properly.
 For now, it's time to go home for today. I'm very tired.





 When I returned to Brunhild, I was recklessly beaten up by everyone. It's nice that they are concerned about us, but don't you think you are overreacting, guys?
 Once again, I call Amber and the others again and apologize for being deported so suddenly. I'm sure you were surprised.
 I also call back Snow, the snow rat that I left with Rop and the other new adventurers.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry, but I'm back home.

 He let Snow hold a note of apology to Lop and the others and released him outside. The snow rat summoner disappeared into the evening darkness in a matter of seconds.
 Hmmm. I should prepare a special magic power tank for me somewhere so that this doesn't happen again. I think it's possible to store magic power like a battery, so that it can be replenished from here when the need arises.

''Even so, it's another world........ From Fuyao-san's story, I thought I knew that such a world existed, but...

 Yumina muttered that as she rolled around on my bed in her white pajamas.
 Yumina wasn't the only one. All of the other fiancées were attacking my bedroom. It's called punishment for making me worry, but of course I'm not going to do anything about it. ...not yet.
 The bed is custom-made for that sort of thing (I won't tell you what it is), and it's big enough to sleep ten people. Well, this time, plus a stuffed bear is coming, but that's about as much as I can tolerate.
 To be honest, the bed alone is about 14 tatami mats. When I sleep alone, I sleep in the private bed next to it.

What was the world like on the other side of the winter night?

 Sue, dressed in her cute yellow pajamas, hugs me on the back. Maybe it's because of the sleepover, but the tension is high....

'Hmm, I haven't been here for too long. I didn't come here to see much. I thought everyone was worried about me, so I had to get back as soon as I could.
We were worried about you, guys.
I was worried...

 Linse and Sakura give me a bit of an accusing look. I've already apologized so many times, so I hope you'll forgive me........

''When Amber disappeared in front of me, I thought my heart would stop beating, that I did.......''
I didn't know what to do when I heard from Yae, either.
But I'm glad you're back in one piece.

 It seems to have worried not only Yae, but Else and Hilda as well. I didn't expect this time either.

''But Fuyao-sama.......you managed to return from that other world well, didn't you? You couldn't even use the Gate, could you?
''Uh......... Yeah, well, I mean, how can I say it........
You are hiding something, aren't you?

 Leanne's eyes glow sharply at me, who stalled at Lou's question.
 Mu, mu, mu. Should I tell them already? It's not like I'm being muzzled, and it's hard for me to continue hiding things from these girls.
 I told everyone about how I came to this world, including God, and what I was becoming.
 At first they thought I was joking, but gradually they began to say less and less, and eventually with a loud sigh, a look of dismay appeared on their faces.

''I don't even know where to start.

 Else makes a sound like she is truly dumbfounded.

'So our darling is an otherworldly person and a god's subordinate........ I've never been so surprised in my long life.''
But it makes a lot of sense.

 I'm convinced by one as Lou nods at Leanne's words. It's kind of a complicated feeling to be convinced by that, though.

''That means my sister-in-law, Ane, and the rest of them too........''
The gods. But I heard that using the power of the gods is forbidden in the world below.
''When you think about it, this country is outrageous....... I'm not kidding, this country is invincible.

 Leanne sighs for the umpteenth time.

'Well, whoever Fuyao-san is, he's still our precious husband, and that's not a problem.

 When Yumina summed up like that, everyone nodded their heads slightly. It's true that our fiancées are all very determined.
 I was happy, but also embarrassed, so I quickly curled up in a ball in the corner of the bed with the covers over my head.
 I hear Yumina and the others giggling, but I pretend I can't hear them and go to sleep.
 Let's go to the gods tomorrow and thank them for this time. I'll have to bring something to take with me.
 According to Hanakoi's sister's story, it seems that if I learn the divine skill of "Cross Space Transference", I'll be able to go to that world, but I don't know if that's possible right away. Before that, I'll have to set up a magic tank so that there won't be any problems if I go there.
 While I was thinking about all these things, sleepiness gradually set in, and I left for the dream world.
