I’m Back in the Other World? - Chapter 96.1

Chapter 96 – Waking up and…

Pi- Pi- Pi-

The first thing that I woke up to, was the electronic sound .

I can feel that I’m on a soft bed too .

I felt that I had already seen this kind of fully white room before .

「Here is…… . A hospital…?」

So far, I never suffered of an injury or disease that was big enough to hospitalize me . The room seems similar to what I used to see in TV dramas though .

The sound of the electronic device is the only thing to echo through the room, save from some faint noise from outside .

…… Why am I in a hospital? No, rather than that, is this the world that I originally came from?

I don’t remember anything after that big light, I faintly remember seeing something, but I don’t recall what .

I look around the room while trying to raise my body from the bed .

A small amount of light enters through a thin curtain, it gives a warm feeling though .

Anyway, for now, what I want is information . Whatever happened, I need to know if and why I’m back in my original world .

However, my body doesn’t listen to my commands and doesn’t really move, there is also a tube infusing a liquid on my right hand and an electrocardiogram on my chest? I’m not sure on what the liquid is, but there is a code bar on them .

Just looking at that, I can be fairly certain that here is not Alselia . 1

I’ll assume this is a Japanese hospital for now, but… What should I do now?

While still a bit dazed, I was trying to grasp the current situation, but then I heard a noise . Looking towards the sound, I saw a nurse, but as soon as she saw me, she showed a surprised face and ran away .

Thinking about it, if this is a really a modern hospital, there should be a way to call the nurse .

Remembering that, I looked near the bed and saw a few switches hanging on the wall . Maa, I don’t have use for that right now…

After a while, the hall suddenly became noisy . The door opened and a doctor woman2 appeared, together with that person that seemed to be a nurse .

The doctor approached me and immediately started a medical examination .

She put a stethoscope on my chest, looked into my eyes and mouth, measured my pulse and only then got away .

「I will ask a few questions: Are you feeling sick? Does it hurt anywhere?」

「… No, nothing in particular . Though I’m feeling really weak right now . 」

「Fumu, you’ve been like that for a few days now . I’ll give the details later, but let’s give priority to the questions now . Your name is?」

「Fujino Sakura」

「Your birth date?」

「Year 1996, month November, Day 22 . 」3

「Address?」

「Tokyo △ △ City ×× Block □ □ is my address . 」

「Your family composition?」

「I have a father, mother, and an older brother . 」

「Telephone number?」

「○○○○ – ○○ – ○○○○」

「You4, call her family and the police station . 」

Police…? I understand calling my family, but why the police? And those questions, they seemed to actually investigating who I am .

「I’m sorry, we couldn’t talk to Fujino-san until now, so we had no way of knowing who Fujino-san was . By the way, does Fujino-san remember how you were brought here? 」

「…… . I’m sorry5, I know that this is a hospital, but I don’t know where this is, nor how I got here… Why am I here?」

In the first place, I don’t even know how I was brought back to Japan, so I have no idea how I got to a hospital .

「Is that so… I suppose I should first explain how you got got the current situation . Fujino-san was brought to this hospital by ambulance a week ago, I don’t know any details aside from you being found in day of heavy rain . You were immediately examined, but no wounds or abnormalities were found . We also made you go through a tomography just in case . Aah, your clothes were taken away for inspection by the way… Apparently they looked like an armor straight out from a movie…? It was quite hard to remove those…… . After that, it was diagnosed that Fujino-san had no injury, but you still wouldn’t wake up . So, it was decided to keep you here until you regained consciousness… But it was quite the trouble, to host someone that didn’t even have an identity with them . 」

…… I see, so it’s apparently unknown how I returned to Japan . And I stayed one week fainted… Moreover, she said I was found in the rain? That was lucky, the water probably washed the dirt and blood away… . Either that, or some kind of power cleaned it up…? I don’t really have a way of knowing it… .

It’s probably because I used my Mana until the very limit, this much time fainted might be the consequence of that .

「And because of that, you’re at this hospital…… It’s not that far from △△, and can be reached by train, but… . It’s quite strange for you to collapse all the way near here, don’t you really remember anything? 」

I can imagine the reason, but there is no way I can explain it…

「…… No, I don’t know why… . I’m sorry…」

I’m not lying, but I still feel a tinge of guilty over it, so I ended up apologizing .

「No, you don’t need to apologize just because you don’t remember . Your parents will probably come later to talk, and the police should also be coming to ask a few questions…」

Ugu…… The police… . I hope it doesn’t become complicated… . Anyway, what is the current date? I spent over 10 months on the other world, but I don’t know if the same amount passed here . It hasn’t been something like a decade, has it…? No,when she heard my birthday, there was no extreme reaction, though she seemed a bit surprised…

Then, perhaps…?

「…… I will ask something weird, but what year, month and day are we in…?」

I timidly ask while waiting an answer from the doctor .

The doctor showed a surprised face for a moment, but she soon smiled and answered .

「Fufu, it is indeed weird… Right now we’re on the year of 2011, September, 9th day . Was this enough?」

…… It is was quite surprising, it has only been 3 months since I went to Alselia…! How come? Does time pass different between the worlds? It seems that time flies 2 . 5 times faster in Alselia then…? Aah, I wish I had asked Takahashi-san when he was summoned then …!

「…… . Fujino-san? You seem to be deep in thought, is something the matter?」

When I raised my face, I saw the doctor looking at me with a worried face .

「Eh? A-aah, no… It’s nothing… I’m just a bit worried, but everything is okay . 」

I smiled and tried to reassure her, but she didn’t seem convinced at all . But that’s not really a topic I can talk about…

When I tried thinking of something else to say, a knock resounded on the door .
