Chapter 90.1. Zephyrus Shows Us Other Possibilities

The smoke seen from the mansion was a smoke alarm. It looked like a big fire, but it was a smoke alarm for calling help in the event of an attack by Zephyrus. No wonder the smoke looked like a volcanic plume.

"If it was a small smoke alarm, people would think it was a normal magic practice or something. It was on such a large scale."

"Hmm."

In my previous life, fire trucks came to even the smallest bonfires, but in this world, there are magicians and monsters, and there's no shortage of problems. You see smoke, too, sometimes. In a world where there is magic, common sense changes.

While enjoying Guu-chan's fluffy back as she walked, Miu was convinced by the explanation of Kongo-oneesan, who was walking next to her.

Kongo-oneesan immediately realized it was a rescue smoke alarm. [Noise] is terrible. It makes me cry that we have to rely on a smoke alarm in today's society. If you call 110, it will affect all communication devices, just like calling 111. That magic is troublesome.

We were walking through the forest toward the mansion, guarded by a group of warriors who had come to our rescue.

Mii-chan is sleepily yawning with her cheeks pressed against Guu-chan's fluffy fur. She lays down on her back. Gorogoro~.

Everyone is soothed by the sight of the cute, young, beautiful girl lying on the griffon's back, and her face relaxes. By the way, her clothes are torn to shreds and covered in blood and mud, so she is wrapped in a blanket prepared by the warriors. I'll have to change quickly before my parents see me when I get home.

"But I'm sorry, I'm not a good guard if I have to ask the target of my escort to cast a recovery spell on me."

"We were in danger, thank you!"

The old Martini men, who joined us later, thanked us with their bloody appearance. Some of the wounds were quite deep, so it was quite dangerous. It seems that Flora was quite good, just like in the original story, and they almost died.

It seems strange to say that it is the same as the original work. It's as strange as seeing an actor live and commenting that they're the same as on TV. The actors on TV are false images.

The old Martini men are the MVPs of this battle because they prevented Flora from helping Zephyrus by pricking Flora with harassing attacks. And then there is a Grandpa who couldn't participate after all.

[To use [Teleport] effectively, I may have to travel all over the country.]

[Negative.]

Traveling all over the place is a leisurely trip. I want him to take me too. Is raw Yatsuhashi good for souvenirs? Will it fit a girl's mouth? It has a unique smell. 

In the end, Grandpa Odin couldn't make it in time. Well, it was too far from home. It's inevitable. I will have to ask Grandpa Odin to go around the area so that he can [Teleport] from now on. I'll think about that later.

There is something more important to think about. What is that.?

[Hey, isn't that Arashi just weird?]

[Weird?]

With the rattling sound of the train as background music, Frigg-oneesan joins the conversation, and I give her a small nod in return. Was Frigg-oneesan going to help Mii-chan if she'll come by train?

She continues to talk with a serious look. I'm curious about something. Arashi was Zephyrus. So I finally realized that there was something strange.

[Weird, or maybe too stupid? Who's that stupid in real life?]

That behavior was too stupid. Arashi was an idiot who couldn't see what was happening around him. I was convinced this was the original novel's world, but both uncle Aguni and grandma Ryusui seemed cunning.

[Certainly, that level of stupidity can't be right. Aren't they just characters in the novel? Is there something wrong?]

Grandpa wonders, even though it's a world in a novel, I think it's strange.

[That's why it's strange. The others have their feet in reality, don't they?]

As an overtly easy-to-understand character, even when he laughed loudly. He seemed to be plotting something behind it. Every one of them acted after careful consideration.

[Maybe, no doubt, it's the world in a novel, but a novel is like an edited version of a part that takes one part of the story, right? Like the edited video of the newlyweds at their wedding showing the shining moments of their lives.]

[That's a painful experience for the people watching it. It's a lonely video, especially if you don't have anything eventful going on in your life.]

[I wonder if the novel's depiction is only part of the story, leaving aside those depressing remarks by the newlyweds.]

Leaving aside Frigg-oneesan dangerous remarks, I'm guessing the main characters also have personalities that weren't a reflection in the original work. Saint-chan didn't feel guilty when she received Loki's achievement. Saint-chan could have been a little more apologetic, given her image in the original novel.

[What does that have to do with Arashi?]

[Zephyrus was a main character who was almost the only one who could recognize the player. He was involved in the sub-story, and he spoke to the players.]

That's the crux of this story. The player is a mob. I got treated by the main characters as an air, and no one talked to me. Conversely, in the sub-stories, the main characters were air. They didn't get involved.

[The main characters in the original story were not involved in the sub-story. They were air, so they weren't portrayed in the sub-stories, so they never changed from their original character image.]

[Hmmm, I just read the story. Zephyrus was an enemy involved in the sub-story, so more of his character, and actions get described there. You mean that we got to know far more about their personalities and other details than we did about the main characters in the original story, right?]

[Oh, I get it too, young lady. You said that the overly stupid behavior was because it reflected his personality in the game as well. That's why he acted so badly.]

Frigg-oneesan looks impressed. Grandpa Odin looked amused. It was probably because these things were unexpected.
