Unedited. Sorry!
It began to rain heavily the moment I enter the diner.
Just in time too! That was dangerous.
I managed to get home before it rained. It’s raining so much that wearing a rain cloak would’ve been useless.
“It’s unlikely for us to have customers tonight.”
The owner muttered while looking up at the sky.
No matter how close we are to the royal palace, there’ll still be a limited number of customers who would bother to visit the diner in this weather.
“Let’s reduce the amount of preparation tonight. Haruka-chan can rest in her room.”
After the quiet day business, preparation for the night business has begun. I was told to rest because of the owner’s concern. I believe I can do anything but he thinks I should preserve my energy and motivation at this time. He said that if I sprint all the time, I could get hurt.
Eventually, I reluctantly retreated to my room without anything to do aside from looking out the window. At times like this, I wish I had some indoor hobbies. Knitting and puzzles aren’t suitable for me because it’ll drive me crazy. I like to read books but I can’t do it here because I couldn’t read the characters in this world that well.
… I’m free.
While I’m laidback, the magicians and Ordias-san are probably busy reinforcing the river bank right now. When I think about that, I feel sorry about feeling this way.
But… is Ordias-san saving lives?
It’s very unexpected and sounds rude when I think about it.
Sotini-san already said earlier that he’s in a position where he doesn’t have to do such activity but he took the initiative to do it. The image of Ordias-san that I had was him being reluctant to do those types of things until the very end.
Is the situation in that area very bad?
No, maybe there was some change in his personality during the year and a half where I was gone.
(If that’s the case, time was running moving in this world.)
It somehow feels deeply moving.
When I returned to my original world, I returned to the exact moment I left off. Time had not flowed from the time I was summoned away. I was shocked when I found out. Realistically speaking it’s better that way but I felt like it was unreasonable and couldn’t accept it.
When I spent my time as Priestess in this world, I had a lot of hardship and hard work. I happily made the effort to endure it. I was at a loss because I felt like it was all gone.
But now I’m back in this world and reuniting familiar people again. That one year certainly existed here. Everyone is changing little by little. Their position, thoughts, everything that surrounds that person is changing a little bit over time.
I’m the only one who hasn’t changed much.
I’m aware that I’m getting fatter, but that’s about it.
Noel said I’ve “changed”, but that probably means the same as becoming fatter.
It’s disappointing to be told that as a maiden.
It has been almost four months since I came back to this world.
I had a hard start and tried my best. I acknowledged that I did a good job so I gave myself some praises.
When I was about to starve to death, I arrived at this dinner. That was the best choice I’ve made. I was very fortunate to have such kind people protect me.
It’s good luck but also thanks to the owners who took me in with their warm heart.
But even so, that’s it.
What am I doing?
I walk around selling bento boxes and somehow cause some problems at the royal palace. Things are going well because of the involvement of Prime Minister Hamuti-sama. But what about the future?
It’s terrible that nothing is going on. The situation where I can’t find the tail of the criminal who summoned me is bad.
Is it bad to leave it to others?
Hamuti-sama promised to find the culprit and to bring me back home while I’m not making any movements myself.
(That’s it.)
I stared out the window and blinked.
What’s wrong with me now?
(What?)
Ask yourself slowly.
The sprouts of doubt suddenly arose in my heart.
And then.
(Oh yeah.)
Okay, what’s wrong with this?
--First of all.
After so long, I wonder why we can’t find the culprit.
It has already been over two months since I asked Hamuti-sama to find the culprit.
Hamuti-sama and Ordias-san initially told me that factions opposed to Aldina-sama were likely to be the culprits. Will it take months to investigate the people from that faction?
Or were they “innocent”?
Then, did the investigation reached a dead end and fell to a stop?
No, but.
Even if they were innocent, they must have searched for the culprit elsewhere.
Summoning a young lady from a different world is said to be prohibited.
It’s a secret technique that the general public cannot easily do. It is controlled strictly by the country. There are only a handful of nationally recognized summoners and they are treated as national treasures.
If there’s someone out there who summoned me using such technique, whether it is from Aldina-sama opposing faction or not, why can’t they find them? Isn’t the technique knowledge strictly controlled?
Of course, if I try to find the culprit myself, it would be unavoidable for me to not find them.
Since I was the person summoned here, I’m not close to people who are considered the heart of the country.
But.
Humati-sama is different.
He is the Prime Minister of this country. He is closest to the king who is at the top of the country. He would be in control of most of the country.
While Humati-sama is conducting the search for the criminal, is it possible for several months to pass without a hint of the culprit found? It’s not the same as chasing them in the dark. The culprit who used the summoning technique is being chased down by the Prime Minister of this country after all.
(Why haven’t you found them yet?)
An unpleasant premonition appears in my mind.
Humati-sama -- are you hiding something?
