邂逅
目が覚めて、最初に感じたのは腰の辺りに感じる掛け布団越しの人一人分の重みと、朝のひんやりした空気によってやけに冷たくなった左手の濡れた感触。
寝っ転がったまま顔の前に左手を持ってくると、涎でべったべたになった左手が視界に入ってきた。ぽたぽたと僕の顔に涎が垂れて来た。思わず溜め息が出る。
上体を起こすと、やはりというかなんというか、僕の腰のあたりに顔を埋めているレイラちゃんがいた。
顔は上気して赤く、火照った身体は赤みを帯びていて汗だくだ。そしてなにより惚けた様な表情、赤い瞳は虚ろで若干白目を剥いていて、にへらっと開いた口からは赤い舌がだらしなく出て来ている。びくびくと痙攣したように悶える彼女を見ると、事後かこれはと思ってしまう。
「あへぇ......えへへへ......しゅごぉい......♡ しゅごいよぉきつねくん......わた、私、ぶっ壊れちゃうかと思ったぁ......うふふ、うふふふふ......♡」
「そのままぶっ壊れればよかったのに」
「あんっ♡」
レイラちゃんの力なく倒れた身体の下から足を引き抜いて、ベッドから立ち上がる。その際レイラちゃんの身体が僕の身体分の落差でベッドへと落ち、嬌声をあげたけど無視する。どうせすぐ復活するだろう。
部屋を見渡してみると、僕とレイラちゃん以外は皆まだ眠っている。僕は朝は早い方だけど、昨日の気絶という名の睡眠によっていつもより早く起きてしまったらしい。空もまだ青白く、時間としては早朝4時30分くらいかな?
「さて......どうするかなぁ......っくぅ~......っはぁ」
起こすのも忍びないので、身体をぐいっと伸ばしながらそう呟く。
そしてふと、この宿にはお風呂があることを思い出した。そして、自分が昨日入っていないことも。
「お風呂、入ろうかな」
今の時間でも入れるのかは分からないけれど、どうせ暇なんだし確認しに行くだけ行けばいいか。入れれば尚良いし、入れなくてもまぁ眠気覚まし位にはなるだろう。寝起きでお風呂に入るのってなんか不健康とか聞いたけど、まぁこれまで入って来なかったんだし、良いでしょ別に。
「あ、私も行く♪」
「復活早いよ、もう少し寝てろよ」
「やー♪ きつね君が一晩中寝かせてくれないから汗だくだしねっ」
「寝かせてくれなかったじゃなくて、徹夜で舐めてたでしょ。少なくとも僕は寝てた」
何を戯けたことをほざいてんだこの発情魔は。
って言っても、どうせ来るなって言っても付いてくるし、魔族でも女の子だから汗臭いままは生理的に嫌だろう。
浴場は男女別だろうし、別に良いか、それくらい。
「はぁ......まぁいいや、お風呂行こう」
「きつね君とお風呂っ♪」
僕とレイラちゃんはお風呂場へと向かう為に、部屋を出た。
何処にあるのかも分からないから、とりあえずうろうろと廊下を歩く。ミニエラの所よりも広いな、やっぱり国土の違いか? 領地が広いのかもしれないね、軍事国家らしいし。
「何?」
「勇者って強いのかなぁ? 私よりも」
「さぁねぇ......まぁ魔王を倒す力を持ってるみたいだし、レイラちゃんでもやられちゃうかもねぇ」
寧ろやられてしまえ。
まぁまだ勇者が来てから一ヵ月も経っていないんだし、まだまだ強い訳では無いんじゃないかな。僕も一週間じゃそんなに強くなれてない訳だし、よっぽど初期スペックが高くない限りはまだまだ弱いと思う。
きっと今の段階じゃレイラちゃんの方が上なんじゃない?
「......あ、ここだね」
そんなことを話している内に、お風呂場を見つけた。やっぱり男女別だ、お風呂場が男女別であることにこれほど感謝したことないよ僕。
どうやらお風呂は常時開放らしい、今も入れるみたいだ。ラッキーだね。
「さて、それじゃレイラちゃんは女湯ね。僕は男湯行く」
「えー、私きつね君と入りたーい、この時間だし誰もいないよ?」
「駄目だよ、問題になるし」
「何が問題なのっ!?」
「モラル!」
ルールは守るよ僕、確かにレイラちゃんみたいな容姿だけは美少女な子とお風呂に入れるっていうのは魅力的ではあるけど、ルールは守ろうよ。真面目で青少年なことに定評がある僕だ、そこはきっちりしてるんだよ。
まぁ正直なところレイラちゃんと入りたくないだけだけどね。
「ほら、大人しくそっちに入って」
「むぅ......分かったよ」
渋々、レイラちゃんは女湯の暖簾を潜って姿を消した。僕もそれに続くように男湯の暖簾を潜る。
脱衣所は案外広く、見る限り誰もいない。服も置いてないから誰もいないんだろう。とりあえず手近な所に服を脱いで、脱衣所から浴場へと入る。
すると、中は結構広かった。シャワーはないけれど、身体を洗うスペースにも水路があって、そこにお湯が流れている。備え付けの桶もあるし、石鹸で頭と体を洗ったら、水路のお湯をすくって流すんだろう。
湯船と同じお湯だから泡とか湯船に入るんじゃないかと思ったけど、どうやら用水路的な洗浄効果を持つ魔導具で、湯船と身体を洗う水路の水質は随時洗浄されているみたいだ。凄いなファンタジー。
「取り敢えず身体洗おう」
僕は身体を洗うスペースにある椅子に座って、備え付きの石鹸で身体を洗う。一週間以上お風呂に入っていなかったからか、皮脂と汗でギトギトになった髪や身体を洗うのには2度3度繰り返し洗う必要があったけど、流し終わった後は凄くさっぱりした。
『きつね君いるー?』
「......」
すると、壁を隔てた向こう側の女風呂からレイラちゃんの声がした。まぁ壁の上の部分は繋がっているから声が聞こえるのもおかしくはないか。
ついでに言えば向こうの浴場もレイラちゃんしかいないんだろう。とりあえず無視しよう。
『なんだ、居るなら返事してよー』
「......何故分かった」
『あはっ♪ 私の瘴気は広げた場所の状況がある程度感知出来るんだよー』
「何その索敵能力」
見れば湯気に混ざって黒い瘴気が見えた。あれで僕が居るのを感知したんだろう。
『......視覚能力がないのが残念だけどねー......』
「心底残念そうに言うな」
視覚能力備わってたら完璧覗き能力じゃないか。
「......はぁ~......」
取り敢えずレイラちゃんは無視して湯船に浸かる。日々の疲れが染み出る様な感覚に、思わず気の抜けた声が出た。
口までお湯に使って、ぶくぶくと息を吐く。少しマナーが悪いだろうけど、僕一人だけだしいいよね。
『きーつーねーくーん?』
レイラちゃんの声をBGMにして、癒しの時間を楽しもう。まるでごちゃごちゃした日常から切り離された様な感覚は、偉く気持ちいい。
「どうしたのきつね君、眠いの?」
「............何故此処に居る」
いつの間にか隣にレイラちゃんがいた。無駄に高い身体能力で壁を越えて来たんだろうけど、本当止めて欲しい。
分かってるのかな、相手してて一番疲れるの君なんだぜレイラちゃん。やっと見つけた僕の癒し時間を邪魔しないで欲しい。
「あはっ♪ 二人っきりだねぇ......♡」
「......珍しく発情してないんだね」
「一晩中きつね君を堪能したからね♡ 今は我慢してあげる♪」
所謂賢者タイムか。一晩中僕の左手を舐めていたから欲求が満たされてる訳か、まぁどうせしばらくしたらすぐに発情するんだろうけど。このお風呂に入ってる間だけは大人しくしてて欲しいもんだ。
「......そうだね」
僕はレイラちゃんの肢体が隣にあるにも拘らず、一度たりとも見ようとは思わなかった。多分怪物云々じゃなく、ただ単に久々のお風呂を堪能したかったからだろう。
それからしばらく、僕とレイラちゃんは無言で湯船に浸かっていた。
あーあ、なんだか無性にルルちゃんをもふもふしたい気分だ。
◇
部屋に戻ると、フィニアちゃん以外は全員眼を覚ましていた。外に出る準備も整えているようで、ルルちゃんは上着の袖に腕を通してる所で、リーシェちゃんは下ろした髪を括ってお団子を作っていた。
二人とも僕に気が付いたようで、苦笑した様にはにかんだ。
「お風呂に行っていたんだな、きつね」
「うん、ただいま」
短く挨拶して、僕は未だに寝ているフィニアちゃんに近づく。
そしてお腹をくりくりと指先でくすぐりながら、声を掛ける。フィニアちゃんも起こさないとね。
「フィニアちゃん、起きて」
「俺は......誰だ......誰なんだァ!! はっ......おはよ!きつねさん!」
「うん、おはよう」
今日は記憶喪失の男の話かな? 毎度毎度変な夢を見るね、フィニアちゃんも。
とはいえ、これで全員起きた訳だ。早速勇者に会いに行こうかな。いつ彼がこの国を出るかも分からないし、早めに会いに行かないとね。
「さて......それじゃあ僕とフィニアちゃんは城へ行くよ。リーシェちゃん達は好きに遊んでて頂戴。まぁ依頼を受けたいならギルドに行っても良いし」
「ああ、分かってるよ」
「それじゃフィニアちゃん......行こうか」
「うん! 勇者狩りだね!」
「待って、狩らない。会いに行くだけだから」
フィニアちゃんも気合十分みたいだ。結構なことだけど、本当に狩らないよね? 止めてよほんと、そういうの洒落にならないんだから。
とまぁ、そんな不安を抱きつつ、僕達は動きだす。目的は勇者、異世界からの来訪者に会いに。
学ランの前を止めて、フィニアちゃんを肩に乗せる。そして狐のお面を頭に掛けて、いつも通りの状態になった所で、僕は再度扉を開き、部屋を出た。
さて、勇者に会いに行こう。
◇ ◇ ◇
芹沢凪は、朝起きてからなんだか妙な感覚に苛まれていた。
胸がざわつく様な、けれど嫌な予感というよりは何かが起こる予兆のような感覚。この世界に来てから、彼には多い頻度でそういう感覚に陥る時があった。訓練で戦う時など、特に集中している時なんかはまるで未来予知の様に、次何が起こるのかを察知出来た。
何かが起こると。
一歩づつ、なにかが自分に迫って来ている様な感覚。
「......夢でもあったな」
そして、眠っている間に見た夢もまた、今の感覚に似た夢だった。内容はこんな感じだ。
真っ暗な空間の中、ひたひたと背後から近寄って来る足音が聞こえて、振り返って見てみるとそこには、誰もいない。訝しげに思ったその瞬間、自分の首に人間の手が添えられた。しかも肉の付いていない骨の手だ。
そして、首を動かして背後を見ると、そこには人ではなく死神がいた。人間の骨に真っ黒い衣服、そして右の目玉だけがぎょろりと自分を見ていた。
凪は背筋に走る悪寒と恐怖心に、目が覚めた。
「......なんだったんだ......あの右眼だけの死神......?」
そう呟いて、未だに胸の中でざわつく感覚を拭えずにいた。
とりあえず気分を変えようと、凪は部屋のカーテンを開き、窓を開けて朝の空気を大きく吸い込む。少しだけ、気分が落ち付いた気がした。
「ん?」
ふと、凪は窓から下を見た。
彼とセシルの部屋は、城の比較的高い場所にある。故に、窓から下を見れば国を一望出来るのだが、そこからは城の入り口の門も見える。凪が注目したのはそこだ。
背筋に、夢で体感した悪寒が走った。
視線の先には、真っ黒い衣服を着て、左眼を包帯で覆った少年がいた。門の入り口に向かって足を進め、その表情には薄ら笑いが浮かんでいた。
そして、凪には彼の衣服に見覚えがあった。いや、見覚えどころではない、学生だった彼にとって最も近しい衣服だ。
「学ラン......!? まさか、俺と同じ......!」
学ラン。ブレザー制服だった凪ではあるが、同じ制服のソレは当然知っている。異世界に来て一切見なくなった制服姿の人間、それが此処に来て自分の前に現れたのだ。彼の表情は、驚愕に眼を見開いていた。
そして、それを理解すると慌てて部屋を飛び出す。
学ラン姿の少年、自分と同じ異世界の人間かもしれないという考えが、彼を突き動かした。
「はぁっ......はぁっ......はぁっ......!」
周囲の人間からすれば圧倒的に速く廊下を駆け抜ける凪、だが本人からすればもっと速く! と逸る気持ちを抑えきれずにいる。階段を駆け下りて、玄関まで全力で走っていく。
そして正面玄関へ続く大きな扉を開いて、外へと飛び出した。
バランスが崩れて前のめりにつんのめったが、無理矢理体勢を整えて入り口の門を見た。そこには門番の兵士と口論している学ランの少年が確かにいた。
近くに来て確信する。
「やっぱり学ランだ......!」
また地面を蹴った。そして、すぐ門まで辿り着き、よっぽど逸る気持ちを抑えきれなかったのか、門番の兵士を押し退けて学ランの少年の前に出た。
がむしゃらに走ってきたからか、荒い呼吸に胸が苦しくなって、膝に手を付き息を整える。顔が下を向き、地面に汗がぽたぽたと落ちた。
「―――勇者、であってる?」
頭上から浴びせかけられるその声は、凪を勇者だと確信しているような声音だった。
凪は顔を上げて、学ランの少年の顔を見る。目の前にいたのは、薄ら笑いを浮かべた左目の無い学ラン姿の少年。
凪は堪らず笑って返す。
「はぁ......はぁ.........ああ―――俺が勇者だ!」
薙刀桔音と芹沢凪。
正反対の境遇で異世界へやってきた二人の
Encounter
When I wake up, the very first thing I feel is a weight of someone around my waist, and my wet left arm that feels cold the moment morning wind touches it.
Still laying down, when I turn my face toward my left arm, I can see my left arm that has become sticky because of the sticking drool around it. When I swing my left arm to shake off the drool, some of it splatters at my face. I unintentionally let out a sigh.
When I sit straight, exactly just as I thought, around my waist, there's Leila-chan who is burying her face on it.
Her face is bright red and her flushed body is covered by sweats. Moreover, her expression has gone blank, her red eyes are blankly wide open, and her red tongue is slovenly sticking out from her opened mouth. When I see her convulsing in agony, this is the result huh, or so I thought.
"Ahee... ehehehe... amazing... you were very amazing, Kitsene-kun... I, I, I thought I was going to break... ufufu, ufufufu...."
"It would be the best if you just go break yourself as it is, though."
"Ahn."
Pulling out my legs that are under the feebly laying Leila-chan, I get off the bed and stand up. In doing so, Leila-chan's body crumbled to the bed, she lets out some flirtatious voices but I decided to ignore her. I'm sure she'll recover soon, after all.
When I look around, seems like everyone other than I and Leila-chan are still sleeping. I usually woke up pretty early, but since yesterday I'd slept when I was fainted, seems like I wake up earlier than usual. Even the sky is still dim, clock-wise, perhaps it's around 4:30 AM.
"Well then... what should I do, I wonder... kuu~... haa."
I've woke up already so it can't be helped, I stretch my body while murmuring so.
And suddenly, I remember that there's bath in this inn. Also, the fact that I haven't entered it yesterday.
"Bath, shall I take one, I wonder."
I don't know whether we are allowed to enter it at this kind of time, but since like this I have nothing to do after all, so I think it won't be hurts to go there and ascertain it. It would be good if I can enter it, and even if I can't, well, at least I can use it to keep myself awake. I've heard that taking a bath right after woke up was bad for health, but since I've never enter it even once thus far, well, it shouldn't be that bad, I think.
"Ah, I'm going as well."
"Your recovery is too fast, just laying down for a bit longer."
"Ya~, since you won't let me to rest all night long, my body is dripping with sweat."
"Not not letting you to rest, but you just licked me all night long, didn't you? At least, I was sleeping this whole time."
What kind of joke is this lustful demon says.
Nevertheless, even if I tell her to stay here, I'm sure she'll still follow me there. Even if she's a demon, as a girl, seems like she still dislike to be reeks of sweat, doesn't she?
Men and women bath are separated, after all, so there should be no problem, right?
"Haa... fine, let's go to the bath then."
"Yaay, Taking bath with Kitsune-kun."
Going to the bathroom, I and Leila-chan leave the room.
Since I don't know where the bathroom is, so for now I'll just wander around the hallway. It's wider than the one at Miniera, as expected, the difference of the countries, I think? Perhaps the territory is also vast, right? It's a military country, after all.
"What is it?"
"Is hero strong? Even stronger than me?"
"Who knows... well, since it seems like he has the prowess to slay the demon lord, so perhaps he may even be able to defeat you, Leila-chan."
Or rather, just kill her already.
Well, it hasn't even been one month ever since the hero came to this world, after all, so perhaps he still isn't that strong, right? Even at my first week here, I hadn't become any much stronger, after all. As long as he doesn't have an absurdly high initial specs, I think right now he's still considerably weak.
Currently, I'm sure Leila-chan is still way stronger than him, right?
"... ah, seems like it's here."
While chatting about that, I finally find the bathroom. As I thought, men and women are separated, I think I've never felt this happy to know the fact that the men and women's bath are separated.
Seems like the bath is open 24/7, we can even enter it right now. How lucky.
"Well then, Leila-chan, you go to be women's bath. I'll go to the men's bath."
"Eh~, I want to enter it together with you, Kitsune-kun. Around this time, there should be no one around, after all, right?"
"No means no, that would lead to trouble, after all."
"What kind of trouble is there?!"
"Moral trouble!"
I'll abide the rule, sure, taking bath together with a cutie like Leila-chan is a fascinating temptation, but I'll still abiding the rule. As an earnest and proper man, I'll strictly follow the rule.
Well, to be honest, I simply don't want to enter it together with Leila-chan, though.
"Come on, just obediently enter there."
"Muu... got it."
Reluctantly, Leila-chan enters the women's bath. Confirming that, I enter the men's bath.
The dressing room is unexpectedly spacious, and it seems like there's no one here when I look around. There's no clothes put there so there should be no one there, right?
When I enter it, the room is pretty vast. There's no shower but there's a place with waterway to wash our body. There're even buckets provided by the inn, after using soap onto our body and hair, we can rinse it off with the water from the waterway.
Since it uses the same water as the bathtub, so I think that there might be some foams there, but, it seems like, using a magic tool with purification effect, they keep the water at the bathtub and the one that is used to wash our body to be still in clean condition and ready to use anytime. Amazing, as expected of fantasy world.
"For now, let's wash my body first."
Sitting on the stool at the area to wash our body, I wash my body with the soap that has been provided there. Perhaps since I haven't taken any bath for more than a week, with the oil and dust that have been accumulated at my sticky hair and body, I feel like I need to wash it two or three times over, but once I'm done on it, my body feels very refreshed.
'Kitsune-kun, are you there~?'
"....."
And then, I can hear Leila-chan's voice that come from the women's area that is separated by a wall from men's area. Well, since the part above the wall is connected, so it isn't strange that I can hear it, huh.
Perhaps, there's only Leila-chan at the other side, right? For now, let's just ignore her.
'what, if you're there then you should just answer me."
"... how could you know?"
'Aha, if I spread my miasma, I can sense the area around me to a certain extent."
"What's up with that enemy detection ability."
When I look closely, I can surely see black miasma blended in the steam. She sensed my presence here with it, huh.
'...the backward is it has no vision ability though~....'
"Don't say it as if that's really something disappointing."
If it has vision ability, wouldn't it become the ultimate peeping skill?
"...ha~...."
For now, I'll just ignore Leila-chan and enter the bathtub. Feeling the sensation that my accumulated fatigue is being washed off, I unintentionally let out a sigh.
I think that's quite a bit bad manner, but here I'm all alone after all, so it's fine, right?
'Kit~su~ne~ku~n?'
With Leila-chan's voices as the BGM, I enjoy this soothing time. The time I hardly could get in my broken daily live, it feels very great.
"What's up, Kitsune-kun, are you sleepy?"
"...why are you here?"
Before I noticed it, Leila-chan is suddenly at my side already. I think she jumped across the wall using her absurdly high physical ability, but I really hope her to don't ever do it, though.
Do you realize it, I wonder? The one that tired me to most were you, Leila-chan. So please don't disturb my hard to get soothing time.
"Aha, we're all alone together...."
"...seems like you're unusually not in heat, aren't you?"
"I've enjoyed you all night long after all, so for now I'll endure myself."
The so called refractory time, huh. After licking my left arm all night long, for the time being her desire has been satisfied, huh. Well, anyhow, I'm sure she'll return to her lustful self in no time, after all. I hope she'll stay docile around this bathing time, though.
"...you're right."
Even though Leila-chan is right next to me, there's no slight thought to take a peek at her. Perhaps it isn't because she's a monster, but because my body wants to fully enjoy this rare relaxing time, right?
After that, I and Leila-chan continue to stay inside the bathtub for a little longer in silence.
Ah, somehow, I feel like I really want to pet Lulu-chan.
*
When we return to our room, Rishe-chan and Lulu-chan are already awake. Seemingly preparing for today's plan, Lulu-chan is sticking her hand into her tunic's sleeve, and Rishe-chan is tying up Lulu-chan's hair into round.
When both of them notice my presence, they bashfully float strained smiles.
"So you just took a bath, Kitsune."
"Yes, I'm back."
Greeting them briefly, I approach Finia-chan who's still asleep.
And then, I call out to her while poking her stomach with my finger. Finia-chan won't wake up unless I do so, after all.
"Finia-chan, wake up."
"I... who... who am I?! Ha!... morning! Kitsune-san!"
"Yo, morning."
Today's story is about a man who lost his memories, huh. Finia-chan, you sure got numerous strange dreams every night, huh.
Nevertheless, with this everyone is awake. Should I go meet the hero immediately, I wonder? I don't know when he would leave this country after all, so I better go and meet him as soon as possible.
"Well then... I and Finia-chan will go to the castle. The rest of you can just play around as much as you want. Well, if you want to take a request, then you can also go to the guild, though."
"Got it."
"Fine then, Finia-chan... shall we get going?"
"Yes! Hero hunting, right!?"
"Wait, not hunting, but meeting him."
Finia-chan is also seemingly full of spirit. Just to make sure, she won't really hunt him, right? I really hope she won't do it, that's won't be funny even as a joke, after all.
But, well, taking along such anxiety, we start moving. The goal is to meet the person who came from another world, the hero,
Wearing my gakuran again, placing Finia-chan at my shoulder, and finally placing the fox mask at my head. After I've got into my usual state, I open the door again, and leave the room.
Well then, let's meet the hero.
* * *
Ever since he woke up, Serizawa Nagi was attacked by a somewhat strange feeling.
His heart wouldn't calm down, but, rather than a bad premonition, it was more like an omen that there was something coming up. Ever since he came to this world, there were times when he felt such feeling. When he was practicing, especially when he was fully concentrating, he could somewhat sense what would happen next. He didn't possess {Intuition}  skill, but seems like his sixth sense was also strengthened because of the summoning effect.
There was something coming.
Slowly, he felt that there was something approaching him.
"...I've also felt it even in my dream."
And then, at the dream he just had in his sleep, he even felt a similar feeling like the one he was currently facing. The subjects were pretty much something like this.
Inside a pitch black space, he could hear footsteps that were steadily approaching him from his rear, but when he turned around, there was no one there. And the moment he was bewildered, his neck was strangle by a hand. Moreover, a bone only hand without any flesh.
And then, when he turned his neck and looking at his rear, the one he saw there wasn't a human, but a shinigami. Human's skeleton that wore pitch black clothes, and then, its right eye was glaring at him.
Nagi felt a very intense chills and fear at his spine, and immediately woke up.
"...wh, what was that... that one-eyed shinigami...."
Murmuring so, he tried to wipe off the uneasy feeling in his heart.
Intending to change a pace, Nagi opened the curtain of his room, after that he opened the window and deeply inhaled the morning breeze. Just a bit, his feeling had calmed down.
"Hmm?"
And then, he looked down through the window.
Nagi and Cecil's room was located at a comparatively high place. Therefore, he could see the whole town if he looked down through the window, and he also could see the castle's entrance from there. And Nagi noticed something there.
At his back, chills ran through it similarly like the one he felt in his dream.
At the end of his sight, there was a youth who wore a pitch black clothes, with his left eye covered in bandages. Walking toward castle's entrance while floating faint smile at his face.
And then, looking at that clothes, that was something he knew about. No, rather than knew, as a student, that was a very familiar clothes for him.
"Gakuran...!? Could it be, he's similar like me...!"
Gakuran. Nagi's uniform was a blazer, but since it was similarly a uniform so he obviously knew about it. Ever since he came to this world, Nagi never saw anyone who wore a school uniform, but that youth suddenly appeared there right before his eyes. Nagi's expression was, full in surprise with eyes opened wide.
And then, comprehending that, he hurriedly left the room.
The youth who wore gakuran, Nagi was excited by the thought that that youth might be someone that also came from similar world as he was.
"Haa... haa... haa...!"
From the onlookers view, Nagi was running through the hallway with an outstanding speed, however Nagi himself had a strong urge to move any second faster! Running down the stairs, he ran toward the entrance with all his might.
And then, opening the giant gate, he rushed out the gate.
His balance was crumbled and almost fell upfront, but he forcefully readjusted his posture and looked at the entrance's gate. The one there was gatekeeper knights who were quarreling with the youth who wore gakuran.
When he looked there closely to ascertain it...
"As I thought, a gakuran...!"
And then, Nagi dashed out again toward the entrance, perhaps he couldn't control his excitement, he hurriedly ran there and stopped right before the youth who was being restrained by the gatekeepers.
Because he recklessly ran there, his breathing was rough and his chest was painful, he place his hands on his knees and then readjusting his breathing. Facing downward, sweats were dripping down from his face.
"--Are you, perhaps the hero?"
That voices that came from above his head, were words as if ascertaining whether Nagi was the hero or not.
Nagi raised his face, and looked at the youth. The one before him was a youth wearing gakuran who floated a fainted smile and had lost his left eye.
Nagi answered him while unable to endure his smile.
"Haa... haa... yes... I'm the hero!"
Naginata Kitsune and Serizawa Nagi.
The two other worlder (irregular) who came to another world at a completely different circumstances, they finally met each other.
