Arc 3 Chapter 1: “Yu Lands in Lanasol”
After leaving Elntia, the next place I arrived at was a Nameless World.
There, I spent about a year with a boy named Esta and a girl named Asha.
It was a primitive and quiet world with no other people.
Although it was a journey of just three, the two were innocent and became very attached to me, and we adventured in various places.
Those were truly fun days.
I wonder if those two are still helping each other and living happily. I hope they aren't being reckless in a playful mood.
In the world after that... really, various things happened.
Too many things happened, and I haven't sorted out my feelings enough to talk about it here yet.
Perhaps the day will come when I can talk about it eventually. I want you to wait until then.
The only thing I can say is that the journey through these two worlds made me grow significantly.
Through battles with super-giant creatures in the Nameless World and even stronger enemies, I feel like I am gradually blossoming the potential of my ability. I feel like I have gained several levels of ability compared to when I traveled in Elntia.
Before I knew it, about nine years had passed since I started traveling through parallel worlds without understanding anything. More than a third of my life so far has been spent traveling continuously.
Compared to when I was on Earth, it's an incredibly strange life. But once I got used to it, this started to feel normal.
Now, what kind of place will the next world be? The sadness of parting and unbearable frustration remain, but I have to switch my mindset...
It was also true that my chest was swelling with expectation for a new world.
I entrust myself to the Star Pulse, a sea of faintly shining white particles, and have been drifting for a while now.
It should have been the usual parallel world transfer. The usual journey.
But this time, something was different.
The flow of the Star Pulse suddenly started to become chaotic. It was a clear abnormality. This had never happened before.
Besides, what is this? My whole body is hot!
『Yu. Are you okay!?』
"She" asks from inside. Another personality who is my partner.
『Are you safe yourself?』
『It's a little painful, maybe.』
『Hold on. I'm coming now.』
By willing it, I can go back and forth between the reality and a special place like my mental world—I call it the "World of Heart".
Only I, the master personality, can do this; "She" can hardly do it. The "World of Heart" was a place filled with mysterious energy and was also "Her" dwelling.
The "World of Heart" was being hit by the abnormality of the Star Pulse and shaken greatly.
We hold hands and support each other.
The heat I feel does not subside. Rather, it was heating up more and more, about to reach the limit.
『A, ah...!』
『U, nnn...!』
When I realized, I had been thrown out onto the ground. It seems I had fainted.
Did I arrive before I knew it?
Raising my body and looking around, it seems to be an ordinary forest. Lush green vegetation spread everywhere.
Since "She" was lying right next to me, I call out.
"Hey. Are you okay?"
"U, ugh... Somehow."
Good. It seems both of us are safe.
...Both of us?
"Are?" "Huh?"
We stand up abruptly and look at each other.
I am properly dressed.
"She" is, for some reason, stark naked.
That's not a big problem. No, that is a problem, but.
"Eh." "Eh."
No. No, no. Strange. Absolutely strange.
Because this is a forest in the first place—not the "World of Heart"—
Realizing it, we raised wild screams at the same time.
""Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhh!?""
Pointing at each other, we harmonize grandly.
""Why are YOU here!?""
This was the beginning of a troublesome journey in this world.
