Chapter 2: 2

Chapter 2 - Recollection about a Certain Goddess

   

In the twilight, illuminated by the twin crescent-shaped moons, Souya was just walking through the meadow at night, recalling the memories of 20 years ago.

 

(–First of all, I’m going to a city I know. But would this world be the same as it was 20 years ago? And without that ・ ・ thing, there’s nothing I can do.)

 

The bewildered Souya’s idea of “that” is not that much of a big deal, but the currency of this other world.

 

(Hey, goddess, was I that mean? Are you trying to turn the tables on me?)

 

Souya smiled bitterly and remembered the goddess he had met 20 years ago.

 

–Twenty years ago, Souya saved a mother and child from a car accident and was forcibly transferred to another world by a new goddess.

According to the goddess’ prediction of the future, she had intended to transfer only the soul of Souya, who was hit by a truck and died, but the new goddess couldn’t stand to see it any longer, so she went ahead and transferred Souya with his body just before the collision.

Originally, she should have thanked the new goddess for saving her life. However, Souya, who was a high school student at the time, had a bad relationship with his father-in-law and had a troublesome personality that could be said to be unique to adolescents.

 

“Why do I save the world? Don’t be so selfish.”

“I didn’t ask you to save me. In fact, I would have been happier if I had died.”

“If you’re going to ask people to do things, don’t you think you should pay with a reasonable compensation?”

 

As a result of Souya’s various complaints and demands to the new goddess, who was making demands to save the world, she finally made the new goddess cry. Although Souya had his own arguments, it was completely out of the spur of the moment. This may have been the reason why the transfer took this form.

In any case, it was a different kind of transfer to another world without the call of the goddess. Without currency, it is difficult to secure necessities and a place to sleep, and after one more day, you will be hungry and want to sleep.

 

◇◇◇

 

After a few hours of walking, Souya found a good rocky place to take a break, sat down on a flat rock at a good height, and took a breath. He felt a little hungry, but he still had a lot of energy left.

However, he could not deny that he had lost a lot of strength and energy, unlike his younger days when he had so much energy and could walk as much as he wanted out of curiosity. Souya let out a sigh and realized that he was getting older.

 

During the break, Souya felt a sense of discomfort. The dark gray business suit that he was wearing now was awfully comfortable to wear. He had thought that the comfort was due to the cool night air of the meadow, but apparently not.

As the name implies, a business suit is a necessity for business, but considering its functionality, it was not suitable for a long trip. It fits his body so well that he felt comfortable with it. Souya touched his chin and began to trace his memory of the time before he came to this world again.

 

(I declined Yamada-kun’s invitation and returned to my apartment. I left his bag at the door and collapsed onto the bed in my room, still wearing his suit …… Huh?)

The true nature of the discomfort. Souya’s gaze points to his feet.

Black business shoes. It’s not like he came home drunk. So of course, he took off his shoes at the entrance when he came home. 

 

(My senses are a little blurry. It’s not because this meadow is in another world that I feel strange. Something is wrong. Don’t tell me.)

 

Souya put his hand into the inside pocket of his business suit. Then he found two envelopes and a glasses case.

On the seal of the letter were the symbols I and II. Souya opened the seal of the letter marked “I” and looked at the letter he took out. But he could not read the letter because it was a string of unfamiliar letters.

 

(It seems to be a short phrase. Impossible to decipher.)

 

Souya pondered for a moment and opened the eyeglass case that was with the letter. Then he found a pair of black-rimmed glasses inside. He took out the glasses, put them on his face, and read the sealed letter again. Then.

 

“I’ve prepared the right equipment for you. The suit, top and bottom, shoes, and glasses are custom-made with high-level enhancement [Enforcement] and repair [Regeneration] blessings. In addition, the glasses will be given translation [Translate] and weakness detection [Weak Point]. I won’t give you anything else, you know. You brute glasses!　Goddess Eris.”

(T/N: The Enforcement and Regeneration(including Translate and Weak Point) are written in English, so I bracketed them so that they’ll be separated from them. I think it’s like high-level enhancement is the TYPE of magic, and Enforcement is the NAME of the magic used.)

 

“Ahahahahaha!”

 

It’s a roundabout gimmick. I see, I guess she didn’t want to see me. She must have hated me a lot. Souya burst into laughter as if he had burst in a dam.

 

“I appreciate it. I wish you could have shown up after all these years. Also, your handwriting is as dirty as ever.”

 

He opened the other letter, the one with II written on the seal.

 

“…… I know it’s selfish of me, but can you please save the world again? The nature of the world’s crisis is not described here. If you’re up for it, find it on your journey. Goddess Ellis PS: If you don’t want to return to the real world, you don’t have to.”

 

This time, he gave a small bitter smile. It was just a joke, but it seemed to be a sentence that showed some seriousness. Souya folded Elise’s letter, put it in the envelope again, and put it back into his pocket.

 

“Well, It’s been 20 years since I’ve been in another world. I’ve got a few things I’m curious about too …… I’m going to save the world again. Well, I’ll think about that kind of thing again later. But brute glasses, huh. Well, I wonder if he’s talking about me.”

 

I wondered if the goddess Eris had captured my features in the glasses. It had been a long time since I had worn glasses since I have been using contact lenses recently. Nevertheless, it had some useful functions and it fits my face well. If you think of them as equipment to protect your eyes, it might not be so bad. Souya’s eyes narrowed and he gently held down his magic dark glasses with his fingers.
