※ This is from Hero Hayato's point of view

"Looks like there's a tio soon"

Gentle light falls fro me

My body floats in the air and ht while

I could di ize to ratitude, Hero』

I heard a voice mixed with noise, like a badly tuned radio, inside my mind

This cute childish voice is of God Parion

She conveys her thought with flowing i the deoddess inside the whitened view

『Parting, Apologize』

--Don't worry about it I'm the one who chose to do it

I shook ht

『Great Happiness, Future, Blessing』

--Yeah, I'll find so much happiness so that Rin and the others I left behind won't have to worry

Hearing ht, children gotta have to s on a stone paveht! I was in this shrine when I got summoned

"So I've coh a verray road that sirl's voice on the side

Looks like she was surprised because I rushed in

"My bad--Tachibana!"

"--Eh? Masaki-kun?"

I found my childhood friend with her loli face--Tachibana Yued her slender childish body

"No, ait, Hayato-chan! Please do this at achildhood friend's voice, I couldn't hold back

"What? Are you hurt anywhere? Heey, Hayato-chan"

"Yued this unseeo, Pekari You like it right"

"T-thank you Ah to think I could drink Pekari again--"

Yuain when I saw the sport drink she gave

I feel that Yu earlier

"--Huh?"

"What is it now"

Yumiri frowns quizzically

"Why are you in sailor unifor hobby

"You're really! We were together at the school earlier"

--Earlier?

I stare at Yumiri's eyes

"W-what"

Yu pose

She was shaken enough that she began to act strangely, but I only noticed that after I got ho more important for me at this tiht the puzzled Yumiri's shoulders and asked

"Tell me!"

"U-un It's the third of March 2013, the time too? It's 12:15"

I don't remember the time, but there's no ot suic didn't exist"

"Hey, didn't you say that you'd graduated froain?"

Yu, but I couldn't afford to mind that as I touch ht?"

"Mirror! Do you have a h?"

I look at the h schoolera suit? Interview for a part-ti story--"

I talked to Yu pleasant with the surprise frooddess

At first Yumiri didn't believe me at all, but she consented after I crushed a coin into four parts with th had been badly lowered compared to when I was another world's hero since I couldn't use th re for me to do that

I feel that I probably could join into the circle of top athletes if I just trained a bit

"Hh a lot And, did you leave lovers or wives in the other world?"

Her words were light

Looks like she didn't completely believe it

Well, whatever

I also would have laughed so like this

"Nah, I didn't have any lover nor wife--"

--The one that's always been in my mind

Yumiri blushed as I stared her

Let's not talk about Princess Arisa

"Sorry, Yuo home and say 『I'm home』 to my little sister"

When I said that with an earnest look, Yumiri's shoulders dropped down a bit for some reason, but then she waved her hand and said, "Bye bye" while looking astonished

"Un, see you tomorrow"

My cheeks loosened from Yumiri's farewell

"Yea, see you"

"Bye~"

Yumiri looked satisfied when I replied her

◇

"Ichirou-nii's friend?"

A beautiful wo at me suspiciously

"Yes, I'm here to deliver a letter he's entrusted to me"

"How old are you?"

"Tw--seventeen"

I ale when I was in the other world

"Then you knew Ichi-nii when you were seven?"

--What does she o"

Her expression disappeared from her face when I said that

"Really--"

The beauty whose expression changed into that of a noh mask said, "Go home", and turned back into the entranceway

"P-please wait At least please take letter"

"If you want to prank someone, do it somewhere else--"

She said that with a cold voice, and then she slaht beforehere?"
