…I really miss it. This sort of scenery. It’s so drab, yet so nostalgic. Just sitting alone in a park, the world is silent, and the threat of monsters and demons is much less likely…
“Hey. That’s my spot.” Well, nevermind then. Who is coming to ruin my trip down mory lane?
…I think I recognize that face. It’s not like I was stuck in that other world for that long. I should be able to rember soone from a school, especially if they have a penchant for roaming around at night.
“Ah. You’re Lynda, right? How’s it going?” I greeted her, trying to sound natural. I don’t think I have talked with her much, if at all…
“You’re… Hmm… That’s weird, I haven’t seen you for what feels like forever. Were you on vacation or sothing?” She asked as she sat down with so distance between us. Looks like she doesn’t notice that my disappearance and return is… Why doesn’t it seem like anyone realized I was gone? That’s odd. Even my parents seem unaware of it. There’s no way they wouldn’t notice. Sothing weird is going on, and I don’t know who I should go to and ask.
“It’s a long story.” I said, not really sure what I should say in this situation. I an I could recount my tales related to the other world, but at the sa ti… I don’t know, just don’t feel like there’s too much to say? It’s weird. For the most part I just have the feeling of ‘wanting to go back’ clouding my mind, so I don’t really feel too much of anything during my ti there.
“...Say, that fight with those two. It was you, wasn’t it? When did you get so strong?” She asked, tilting her head and looking at with a rather icy glare. Is she jealous or sothing?
“Yeah? They suddenly ran towards with a really strong fighting spirit. I can’t exactly not fight back in self-defense.” It wasn’t like I was trying to show off, if that’s what she is worried about.
“Weird.” She remarked. It would be weird if not for all the other circumstances people don’t know about, but I don’t really want to talk about it if possible. Still processing everything, really. “How long have you been gone anyway? Did that snake incident disrupt your vacation plan? At least you weren’t there for the airship.”
Snakes? Airship? What is she talking about? I want to ask, but that’s going to give her even more questions to throw my way. I should go ask my friends about it later. I was planning on catching up tomorrow anyway.
“Hello?” Oh, was I keeping her hanging for too long?
“Ah. Sorry. Lots of things to think about today.” I said, hoping that would sway her to maybe drop the topic for a good long while. “...So why are you here out so late at night?”
“Could ask the sa thing to you. I usually co here to clear my head whenever nonsense starts happening, you know how it goes.” I… don’t? I never talk to her that much. Only thinking of her as that one feisty-looking girl from a different classroom.
“Yeah. Sure.” I replied, not really sure what kind of response she expected out of . “So… You don’t have any business with , right?”
“With how my tone is right now, you really think I got a plan?” She said, sounding more irritated. “I’m glad none of this shit is really affecting anything. It makes people panic for a bit, but that’s about it. Still, what a shitshow. Was there really no way to persuade them aside from doing as they ask?”
“Well I want to talk, but neither of them are willing to listen. It really can’t be helped.” I said before taking a long sigh. It’s not exactly an elegant solution.
I’m kinda surprised both of them are so damn strong. I don’t think I’m anywhere near like the top-tier of strength. I didn’t get close even in that other world, but I’d thought I’d handle it a bit better. Maybe it’s my hesitance showing…
“...So how did that fight end anyway? I heard all of you disappeared after a certain point.” She asked. She seems quite curious about the whole deal.
“...I’m surprised all of you didn’t see what happened at the end.” I don’t even really know for sure what happened. Emmie said that ‘that person’ bailed us out before either of us could hit the ground. It took a while to figure out since it’s been a while. “It was a draw, nothing really that exciting at the end of the day. Emmie already chose to back off, and Kenni and I couldn’t do much else aside from sulking and stuff.”
“Really? That’s quite anticlimactic. The fact no one saw it might be a blessing for your reps.” She remarked. I an, I don’t really want to be seen in the first place? I’d rather co back discreetly. No idea why the return leaves such a spectacle. It seems to be the reason why those two imdiately try to jump . They seem way too eager for that, regardless of whatever the reasoning actually was.
“Yeah. I guess you could say that.” I’d rather not argue with her. It doesn’t look like she’s here to debate or anything. Kind of a coincidence that we t.
Anyway, in regards to my return here… I need so ti to acclimate. I haven’t logged in for a long ti, no idea what people online are talking about right now. I also don’t know if I need to catch up on anything. Hopefully not too much.
…Does she not have anything else to talk about, or is she lost in her thoughts? I guess she did say she isn’t here for , probably intending to silently relax.
I guess I got a bit of ti to myself to recount everything that happened…
So. I got transported to a different world… Scratch that, it was quite different, but the sa kind of premise. Kinda looks like one of those typical generic fantasy settings, but that might be my bias speaking, and then a lot of stuff happened for… Huh. I wonder. It seems like I was missing here for over two weeks, but I think I was in the other world for at least… Well. It was longer than that, that much is certain.
There weren't many reliable ways to track tis over there, and my phone obviously won’t work. I had to put it away for the entire duration of the trip. It makes everything feel so… Disconnected? Sudden? I’m not all too sure.
I have to beco stronger, that much is certain. I don’t even really know the real reason why I was sent there. I think the summary of it is sothing like ‘The summoning spell has gone awry, you were quite lucky.’
I don’t really get it, but it seems my isek- Need to stop that. She said it wasn’t the case of world-hopping, but I thought that was the case for the better part of the ti spent there. It’s going to take a long while to recontextualize everything, especially since she said it not long before sending back.
There were a lot of things she said to right before sending back here. It's a lot and would probably help clear up a lot of confusion once I recount everything to the others…
I need so ti to think back on that specific ti…
