When I came back, it was also a crime scene. No, this was much worse.
Before Atsu-kun came to his senses, we hurriedly returned home. I’ll leave the rest to Ten-chan. I’ve managed to do something about his sickness, so it’ll probably work out somehow.
The teleport destination was my familiar home. Inside my familiar home, there was an unfamiliar artwork. No, wait, it’s not an artwork!
It was Poppo-chan (in white tights and macho form) who had been hung upside down with his feet tied.
“”Poppochaaan!?””
Another murder when I came back!? Is this a horror!? Scary! Who!? Who hung Poppo-chan!?
“Poppo-chan! Who did such a terrible thing to you!?”
Still a magical girl… no, a Magical Hero Rinka was on guard.
Hitari… tashi~n.
Hitari… tashi~n.
I felt a quiet anger… why do I hear this sound just as I returned!?
“”.........””
Hitari… tashi~n.
Hitari… tashi~n.
The sound was getting closer, little by little, but surely.
“I’m scared!”
“... Ugh… eei, women have gutsss!?”
When I tried to muster up the courage to check the sound, a loud call rang out.
“”Ukyaaaaaa!?””
Rinka and I hugged each other in surprise. Wh, what… it was just the communication tool, don’t scare like that. But at that moment, the living room door blew off with a bang and a black shadow entered the room.
“”Hiiyaaaa!?””
And then I was torn away from Rinka, who I was hugging, and my vision went black.
“Rosarin, Rosariiin… phew… ugh…”
Dirk was crying. Come to think of it, it’s like I suddenly disappeared! I desperately comfort him. I pat him on the head.
“Dirk, don’t cry! It’s okay, it’s me, Rosarin! I came back properly! Sorry for suddenly disappearing!”
Dirk was silently rubbing his tail against me. It seems like he was in a big shock… yeah, cute. I feel guilty for making him sad, but Dirk rubbing against me is too cute!
Rinka smiled wryly and activated the communication tool that kept ringing.
“Ah, um, this is Rinka.”
“Where is Rosarin!?”
“Ah, she’s back safely and at home now. Sorry for causing a commotion.”
The caller was my Elder brother. But as soon as she hung up, the communication tool rang again.
“Yes, this is Rinka.”
“So it’s Miss Rinka! Is Miss Rosarin safe!?!
“She’s back safely and at home now. Sorry for causing a commotion.”
This time, it was Alphage-sama.
Then, the communication tool rang again. Eh? Is this a horror? No, that’s not it.
“…Dirk-san? Who else did you contact?”
“Ny, nya~n.”
Dirk-san, who has become a kitten, was acting suspiciously. No way… no way…
“I sent an emergency mass communication… you were gone, your scent and presence disappeared… although I was able to roughly feel your location since we are connected, it was like your existence had disappeared out of this world, and you were nowhere to be found… Poppo-chan didn’t understand either…”
Dirk shed tears. Who can scold this world’s cutest treasure! I can’t do it!! I can only love him!! I hugged Dirk the Kitten. Ahhhhh, cute! Happy! I’ll forgive you for whatever you do! Cuteness is justice!!
“… It can’t be helped. It’s better to send a mass communication than to contact them one by one… kyaaa!?”
The ground shook. An earthquake!? When I went outside, the sky was leaden and the volcano seemed to be erupting… it’s a big mess!
“What!? Is it a natural disaster!? What happened!?”
Rinka was suddenly enveloped in a color similar to black.
“Rinka!”
“Lavi-kun!? Why are you crying…!?”
“I thought you died when you suddenly disappeared… Rinka… Rinka…”
“Lavi-kun…”
I want to escape from reality by looking at the two smiling people, but that sky and stuff, I feel like it’s probably because of my spirits. The magic power I feel in the air has the presence of my cute kids.
I guess I shouldn’t be kidnapped by accident. It was good that we left Atsu-kun behind.
If it had been another hour later, the world would have been destroyed, right?
By the way, there was no time difference between Japan and here.
I heard later that the time axis is roughly the same, but Shiva and the others don’t really care about that, so the summoning and such can cause time dilation. On the other hand, Ten-chan and the Japanese Gods are said to be strict about things like that.
I shuddered at the thought of being off by years… It’s not a joke if destruction was caused because of me!!
And then, I was busy for a while cleaning up… apologizing to everyone who could be reached by the mass communication. Large-scale search parties were already being formed in Christia, Wolfanea, and Saintya, so things were getting dangerous!
Of course, Milfi was worried, but surprisingly, even Curtis was seriously worried, and I felt both happy and sorry…
And it was hard to calm down my cute spirits and magic beasts, who had panicked when my presence suddenly disappeared.
“… Dirk, I feel happy somehow.”
“… You are very loved.”
On my lap were Dirk, Arisa, Kuurin, Kou, Sui, Haru, and Chita who were tired from crying. The Holy Beast on my back. Haku still crying on my right. Darkness-sama was also still crying on my left. Gora-chan was showing off his dance of joy in front of me. And the magic beasts and cacti surrounding us.
And since Dirk seemed to have been half-crazed, everyone came because they were worried even though they had received the message of my safety. No, really, I’m sorry for worrying you!
It was revealed to me that Poppo-chan had hung himself. It seems that it was a punishment that he often received from Koto Neechan, and he couldn’t explain himself well and panicked when the world seemed to be ending. Calm down. If Poppo-chan had explained properly in the first place, it probably wouldn’t have been such a big deal. Probably.
By the way, the reason why he didn’t respond to us when we came back was because only his consciousness had gone to the Gods. It seems that the Gods were also panicking. Calm down. But, I’m sorry! I’ll never be kidnapped again!
