(365) Side Story: The sky above and the ground below

Translator: Tseirp

Kusunoki Miri did not know where she was above the clouds .

If she could at least see the sun or the stars, she could calculate her bearings but the only window in the room was now boarded up with a wooden board .

The wooden board in the otherwise stylish room indicated that it was a rushed job .

“How was it? It doesn’t look like you ate much today . The chef made that just for you . And today was even a mother-style bento . ”

Daijiro referred to Miri’s recent loss of appetite .

It wasn’t as though she was completely not eating anything but she was leaving more than half her food uneaten .

“There isn’t a chef on this ship . It’s probably something bought from a restaurant and kept in an item bag . ”

“It’s convenient so what’s wrong about that . At least eat the rice . See I even sprinkled on egg and seaweed furikake . ”

Daijiro said and picked up the fried chicken that Miri did not eat from the bento and brought it to her mouth .

After seeing her swallow the fried chicken, Miri slowly spoke .

“That piece fell on the floor just now . ”

“Eh? You’re kidding . ”

“I was kidding . ”

A short silence followed .

“ … Famiris has turned into a meanie . ”

“Anybody would turn mean if locked in such a place . ”

Daijiro sighed .

Then, she ate an octopus-shaped wiener .

“So, Famiris . What was the meaning of that letter? To buy Milky’s book . After seeing that lemonade marble message and checking Milky’s book, I didn’t notice any particular content . It was just a regular BL manga . That was why I allowed it to be sold at the book sale . ” (TL: BL = Boys Love genre)

Daijiro licked her fingers and wiped it with a wet tissue before taking out Milky’s book from her item bag .

Daijiro didn’t seem to hate the R18 development between young men and was looking a little fixedly at the book .

“Of course . There was no meaning to that book . That was just a means to make Onii stay in Mallegory until tomorrow . ”

“Means? For what?”

“12,000 Tsuaobal soldiers will start invading Mallegory tomorrow . ”

“The royal army will attack the capital of its own country!? Is that child the key to stop the invasion?”

“No way . Onii will not be able to stop the invasion no matter what he does . Onii has a different role . ”

Miri said as she opened the seal on the furikake inside the bento box .

“Onii has the role of bringing salvation to this world . The role of avoiding destruction . The role to avoid the end of the world . ”

She said as she watched the furikake spilled down like sand in an hourglass .

“Wait, Famiris . Your ability to look into the future should only extend to a couple of seconds into the future . But the things you are speaking of now makes it seem as though …”

Daijiro seemed to have noticed something and asked .

“Famiris, how far did you see?”

Miri did not answer her .

Miri looked in the direction out the window .

Although all she could see was the wooden cover .

Jofre and Elize were currently investigating the mysterious ruins they entered from the basement of Suzuki’s home warehouse . They called it investigating but they were not investigating anything in particular and were just walking around aimlessly .

The ruins which used to be a dungeon still glowed with a faint light even without any monsters remaining so they were able to enter deeper without having any torches .

“Look, Jofre! This looks like an edible mushroom!”

“There are some here too!”

Jofre and Elize picked up red and blue mushrooms .

Naturally, both kinds were poisonous mushrooms .

Jofre and Elize placed the mushrooms they harvested in front of Centaur who was waiting in front of a large door .

Centaur came to help Jofre and Elize a few days ago but for some reason sat in front of that door and did not move since then .

Because of that, Jofre and Elize brought food to it .

Centaur ate the poisonous mushrooms that they brought to it but it still showed no signs of moving .

At first, Jofre and Elize tried to push and pull Centaur to move it but they had already given up and went to have their meal .

Of dried meat .

Anything apart from meat had already been sucked into Centaur’s stomach so all they had left was dried meat .

“It’s delicious Jofre . ”

“Yeah, Elize . But we are about to run out of water . ”

“We have to secure some then . Right, let’s tell Jo about this place once we return . I’m sure Jo would be excited . ”

“That’s a great idea! We’ll call everyone and have a picnic!”

“Picnic!? I’m looking forward to that! We can make sandwiches and rice balls . ”

“Did you know? Elize . They wrap the rice balls with a black paper in this country . ”

“Eh? Really? Why must they wrap it with a black paper? Can’t they wrap with red paper?”

“Red paper is out of the question . To the townspeople, red paper signifies that there will be a war soon . ”

“Really!? Then we won’t be able to have a picnic . ”

“Right? So we should use black paper . ”

“Ah, Jofre! If black is better than red, can’t we wrap it with dried meat? Although the meat is originally red, it turned black once it was dried . If we wrap with this, won’t it signify the end of fighting and for everyone to have a delicious picnic?”

“That’s a great idea! But dried meat is hard and not suited for wrapping around rice … right! Then we can just wrap it with grilled meat?”

“Yes, that sounds great, Jofre! It sounds delicious!”

That moment was the birth of the concept of meat-rolled rice balls in this world .

At that moment .

Elize accidentally dropped the dried meat in her hand in her excitement .

“Ah, my dried meat … eh?”

There was a small button near the location where Elize dropped her dried meat .

Elize pushed the button without any sense of wariness .

The large door groaned and started opening outward .

“… Amazing … I wonder if there is treasure ahead?”

“It must be, Jofre! And I hear water!”

“Drinkable water!? Let’s go, Elize! Treasure and water are waiting for me!”
