Chapter 687 - I'm Home
As the date with Shiro-san ended, we walked towards the exit of the amusement park, in which Alice suddenly appeared in front of us.]
[So, what do you want, Alice? If you and Kaito-san want to have a date, I can rewind the time for you, you know?]
Eh? A date with Alice? Why did the conversation suddenly lead towards that direction…… Ahh, could it be that that was what Shiro-san and Alice were whispering about earlier?
No, rather than that, what the heck is this God nonchalantly talking about, rewinding time again…… How many times do I have to repeat this day?
[Hmmm, I’ll take you up on your offer then…… or so I’d like to say, but I’d like to have our date after I’ve properly remodeled the amusement park. I’ve made some adjustments, but this amusement park…… It’s at a level where “a normal person would die a few hundred times”……]
[I see…… Then, what should we do now?]
I thought I was going to have to repeat this day, but Alice made a follow-up suggestion. Somehow, knowing that Alice is decent when it comes to dating and things related to romantic relationships makes me comfortable when I’m with her.
No, rather than that…… was this amusement park really that dangerous? No, there certainly is that roller coaster with insane speed and that merry-go-round that spun around like a tornado but……
Well, putting those things aside, if the situation goes as their conversation went, I guess my date with Alice will be at a later date. However, the only question is whether the airheaded Shiro-san would allow this amusement park to remain until a later date……
[Yes, that’s why, Shallow Vernal-sama. “Please give me this amusement park. In a portable form”, that is!]
[I don’t mind.]
……The way I looked at the situation is still too naive. I know how Shiro-san is on a different scale than mine, but Alice, coming up with the idea of “giving her an amusement park” as if it was the most obvious thing in the world, is just as great.
After agreeing to Alice’s request, Shiro-san lightly flicked her finger. Thereupon, the huge amusement park disappeared and a small box appeared in Shiro-san’s hand.
[……I give this the name “Anywhere Amusement Box”. In honor of your work this time, I give this to you.]
[Thank you very much!]
Anywhere Amusement Box…… I know that it’s a great item, but is that thing safe? If that huge amusement park suddenly appeared, wouldn’t it have a huge impact on the surroundings……
[There’s no problem regarding that matter. When you use the Anywhere Amusement Door, you will be automatically teleported to the different space where the amusement park is located, so it will not affect your surroundings. After you go out of the amusement park’s exit, you’ll just return to where you came from before.]
[……I- I see, as expected…… of Shiro-san.]
[You can praise me even more, you know? Praises make me happy.]
Unnn, let’s just agree that she’s amazing. I think this is probably the wisest thing to do.
From the God Realm, I headed to Lilia-san’s mansion where Mom and Dad were. In addition, because of Shiro-san’s power, I was teleported directly to the room where Lilia-san was giving an explanation to Mom and Dad.
[……I- I’m sorry for the sudden appearance.]
[No, it’s alright. I’ve just finished explaining to the two of them anyway…… Yes, I’ve just finished…… What is this feeling? Strangely enough, I feel like I gave them the same explanation “about five times”…… It’s just my imagination, right?]
I apologized to Lilia-san for suddenly appearing in the room, but she just told me it’s okay with a smile. After telling me that I arrived just at the right time, she tilted her head, and after she looked at her pocket watch, she tilted her head again.
Also, I’m sorry, Lilia-san…… It might not just be your imagination. The world’s time has apparently been rewound several times after all……
Thinking about this, I turned around and saw Mom and Dad sitting on their seats with smiles on their faces.
……Arehh? What is this…… I should have had lots of things to tell them when I saw them again, I should have had lots of things I wanted to report to them…… but I couldn’t find the words to say.
Mom and Dad are here. That’s all that filled in my mind, and all the thoughts of the things I wanted to say had disappeared.
After seeing me like that, Mom and Dad looked at each other and after exchanging a smile, they then turned towards me and spoke.
[ [ Welcome back, Kaito. ] ]
[!? ]
It was just a really casual remark. ……However, they were words that I’ve always wanted to hear.
These words, spoken as if they were the most obvious thing in the world, made me inexplicably happy. Those words made me realize that Mom and Dad really are here.
[……I’m home.]
As I tremblingly replied to them, it just hit me. Ahh, that’s right, there is no words more appropriate to describe our reunion than these……
After all, yes, the last time I talked to them in that virtual world…… Since the words I told them were “I’m off”…… After we meet again, the most correct words to say at this moment would be “I’m home”.
