Ex Strongest Swordsman Longs For Magic In Different World

195 Formerly The Strongest, Back To My Parents' House

Looking at the building in front of him, Soma remembered an unexpected nostalgia of her own.

It is true that although it has not been about three years since I saw it, it is only that it returns to this place.

Because I had met my family, I even thought that if I did poorly, I'd miss them.

"Hmm... well, there's been a lot of things since I left here, and given that, I think it's only natural to miss it"

"I agree, but I don't think the majority of those things are a bit interpretive around that I feel it's your fault... well, I don't mind"

When I said that and let Aina shrug her shoulders out sighing, I saw Felicia exhale at the edge of her sight.

However, this is not a sigh, but rather a reaction that I was impressed somewhere or saw something unexpected.

"This is where Mr. Soma was born and raised, is it... somehow, I feel a little surprised"

"Yeah? Surprise, why? I don't think there's anything strange about it..."

"... rather, so?... too normal for where Soma was born and raised"

"That's the thing. There was a place where Eina was born and raised, so I was wondering if the place where Soma was born and raised was a better place."

"... if you ask me that, I certainly can't solve it a bit when they say that Soma was born and raised here"

"It is my saying that I cannot solve it. What do you think of me?"

Eina would know the area better than the two of us in the first place.

After shrugging her shoulders again, Soma turns her gaze in front of her again.

Needless to say again now, what is there is a familiar mansion.

It was the home where Soma was born and raised.

"Whatever you're doing here, you can't help it, and let's just go inside. I think it's time for some rest around Felicia."

"Well I certainly don't deny it...... speaking of which, in the first place, why did you rush back so fast? As far as I'm concerned, I think you could have come back a little slower. That way, Eina too..."

That said, Felicia turned her gaze to Aina, probably because this time she had come bare through the village where Aina had been taken care of for about a year, near the Devil's Forest.

And certainly, if there was a reason I had to, there is no such inevitability.

We have about two weeks before the college starts, and from here on out, it's a good enough period of time.

Assuming I didn't have a problem where I stayed in that village all day, and even if I didn't, I might have been able to say it was humane to make me stop by somewhat.

But Soma didn't dare, and that could be said in all the journeys to this point.

It's only been a week or so since I left for Io.

That was definitely a hasty journey, and given Felicia, she should have come back a little slower.

But Soma nevertheless ignored all of it with knowledge, and hastened back so far.

"I stopped by that village at the point of going in the first place, so I don't have to worry about it... but yeah. I knew you were trying to rush back so far, but I didn't dare to ask you why because I thought there was a reason..."

"... I'm worried about it.... technically, I've always wondered"

"Well, I guess it doesn't bother you"

Still nothing you asked me is a sign that I am trusted that much?

It's a thankful story, and I think we can trust them to the same extent, but that's not why Soma hasn't talked about it so far, because there was a bad reason to talk about it.

Simply because there was no certainty.

It's not like there's no reason at all, but if I tell you, that's just a hunch.

You can't just mouth that wisely.

Alternatively, it is a pointless assumption that if you had been asked, you might still have answered, but more than you would have been asked.

Well, that's not exactly what they're asking me right now.

"Including that, first of all, it is not until we get inside.... maybe that would make it clear."

"... I don't know... well, if that's what you're gonna say, I get it for now"

It wasn't just Aina, and neither did the other two, but Soma couldn't say anything at this stage either.

Most of all, I'm pretty sure given the current situation...... along with.

So Soma and the others went first into the mansion.

Inside the mansion, it was gallant.

That, literally, is.

No noise, no sign of people in the first place.

It appeared that the shell was worthy.

"Hmm... no signs of vandalism though, he said. It feels like only neglected people disappeared."

I looked all around and breathed one breath when I came to a familiar room.

That was the room where I lived.

So naturally it looks familiar, and I guess it's unlikely that it's loaded with dust, etc. because they cleaned it regularly.

"... I see. What do you care about this?

Soma shrugs her shoulders back to the words Aina has released, which came in later.

That's because it's right in a way, and wrong in a way.

Indeed, it is true that I thought there might be something.

That's why I rushed back... but...

"No? Honestly, this is unexpected for my life, too. I just didn't think the mansion was deserted."

"I don't think I was too surprised for that? I didn't have to meet anyone in the mansion, but I wasn't surprised."

"Well, I realized it was deserted the moment I stepped into the mansion. I'm sure you weren't surprised in that sense, but you were surprised enough when you walked into the mansion, weren't you?

That's another fact.

However, it is a different story of how Felicia and the others felt because she did not put that surprise outside.

"Besides, if it had been since you entered the mansion, would you have realized that Sheila was deserted here, too?

"... for once?... or I thought we'd all noticed."

"I don't want to be with you..."

I look into the room again, shrugging my shoulders at Aina, who says so and exhales.

It's not like there's anything interesting about it, it's just a room to remember some nostalgia...... after all, it's also a beautifully tidy room.

It's as if someone was here until yesterday and cleaned thoroughly.

It was the same in the other rooms.

There's no sign of people. Surely there's no one there, but it doesn't make them feel like that.

By chance, there was no one there today... or as if they had all disappeared neglectfully, even though they were there until yesterday.

To the point of discomfort, there was still a sense of life in this mansion.

The only thing that didn't was my mother's room.

There should be plenty of paperwork and so on there, which is also the office of the principal agent.

Yet only those things were gone beautifully.

Whatever that means...

"... it doesn't matter what I care about."

Even though something unexpected happened, it doesn't make a difference what you do in the end.

This means taking a break here.

But when I told them that, they all looked surprised.

"... Huh?

"What is? Would you have said that when you came in here?

"That's right... okay?

"What is?

"Nothing... uh, this is where Mr. Soma was born and raised, and there should have been Mr. Soma's mother, right?

"Hmm, you're right though?

"... don't you have to look for clues or something?... including around."

"Oh, is that what this is about"

A seemingly puzzling gaze is directed at Soma, who snorts when he is satisfied.

But Soma just shrugs her shoulders back.

Because it was unnecessary.

"No need..."

"Oh, don't worry, it doesn't mean you don't care, does it? Simply because we've already looked around the mansion, and even if we look around, once Felicia needs a break, doesn't it make any difference? And then there's Aina."

"That's... sure, but you're right. … sorry, if I had more strength"

"No, it would rather be my seniors who have forcibly marched so far knowing that. Besides, it seems that something has happened. There is no problem because the actions taken so far have not been wasted and it has become somewhat clear what needs to be done after tomorrow. One way or another, if you want to apologize, you need to take the day off and get your English ready for tomorrow and beyond."

"... ok"

"... ok. Sure, I was a little tired."

"...... take your time off today and work hard tomorrow"

I really don't need to care...... I smile bitterly at the three people who nod in a serious way, sorry for what they did.

Then I turned my gaze out the window.

The view from there is somewhat higher in perspective than the one in memory.

But still, it's also a nostalgic view.

Looking at it, well, what happened nevertheless, Soma narrowed her eyes.
