I’m back on Earth!
“How did it come to this…”
I’m in Yoyogi Park.
I walked here from Shibuya.
Sitting on a bench in Yoyogi Park, I cradle my head.
“Gee, I wonder how it came to this~”
“It’s your… haaaaaah.”
Blaming Sinri won’t solve anything. She’s basically a 0-year-old… Windows 1.1… her brain… sigh…
“What’s wrong, Master? Is something inconvenient?”
“Very much so…”
“But, but, Master, you were originally from this timeline, right? So, shouldn’t your house still be around?”
Right, Sinri doesn’t know…
“It’s been three years since I was sent to the other world.”
I disappeared from Japan in the third year of the Reiwa Era.
And now, it’s the sixth year of the Reiwa Era.
“Okay, question time, Sinri-san. The owner hasn’t paid rent for three years. What happens?”
“Ah… does that mean no housey-house?”
“That’s right, no housey-house. On top of that, I probably don’t have a family register in Japan anymore either… probably…”
I have been missing for three years, after all.
“Eh, so… are we like illegal immigrants?”
“That’s right… No place to live, no family register. And while we’re at it, no money that can be used in reality either.”
When I was in the other world, I used the currency of that world.
And after being exiled, I used KP for shopping.
Japanese Yen? There’s no way I’d have any of that…!
Whoosh… the color drained from Sinri’s face.
…Finally, she seems to have grasped our current dire situation. Took her long enough… sigh…
“Do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do-do”
“Get away from JJ…”
“Wha-wha-what do we do, Masteeeeeeeeer!”
Sinri screams, clinging to me and sobbing.
…Seriously, what should we do…
“This is the real Re:Zero – Starting Life in Another World!”
“Well, I guess this place is another world to you…”
“Master, work hard at a part-time job, okay? Support Sinri, okay?”
“No, no, no… Let’s go back.”
“Go back? Master, do you really want to go back?”
“Of course, I do.”
I have many friends over there. And, although reluctantly, I’ve become the ruler of a country.
I can’t just abandon my people.
…Everyone must be worried right now. Especially Felmaa, the Fenrir siblings, and the others.
I don’t want to leave them worried. So… I’m going back.
“But Master. You’re a resident of this place, aren’t you?”
“Well, yeah, that’s true. But… my reality is over there now.”
I have no lingering attachments here anymore.
I have no parents. No lover either.
“You say cool things like that, but what’s the real reason?”
“I don’t want to be a corporate drone office lady here again…”
Yeah, well. I said something cool earlier, but.
That’s the honest truth.
Seriously, once you’ve lived a fun, convenient life in another world, you just can’t go back!
To the harsh life in reality!
Riding jam-packed trains every day, going to work early in the morning, I just can’t do it anymore!
“So, that’s why I want to go back! To the other world! I want to go back! And then, I’ll live a carefree life with my friends on the Floating Island!”
“Wow, such a refreshingly useless person~”
“You want to go back too, right?”
“Of course! I want to live the life of a shut-in, lazing around, a NEET!”
Sinri and I clasped hands firmly!
It was the moment we shared the goal of returning to the other world.
