"Eh?"
We are now on the 10th step.
And that was the beginning of the view
we're...
Something that was completely beyond my expectations, and hard to
in trust.
Where it's like I'm back
to my old world civilization.
Viewed from various groups
birds flying in the sky while chirping ..
The morning sunshine that blinded my eyes ..
The noise of the humans talking to each other, joking, negotiating ..
And the fresh air made me
keep breathing it, though,
even though it is in the middle of the city.
It's all really hard to
in trust.
And we are now in.
in the middle of the city with the residents
the solid.
"W-What is this!?.. Really seen
moderns. Are we in time.
different one?"(Afreons)
"I don't think so, just civilization
only that shows everything
these. But if you think about this city.
so beautiful. Many of them
who do various activities."
(Sakuya)
"And strangely again, we cannot.
using magic."(Afreons)
"Huh?"
They were so surprised when
realize magic doesn't happen
on this ladder.
"Oi Retnan why are you just
just speechless? is there anything
doubt you?"((Xanxus)
Heard the words of Xanxus
made me realize again, that
the stairs do not hold
a number of worlds are unlimited.
Like a ladder in general,
as if we are now
outside the dimension.
"It's really weird, I think
everyone who lives on the stairs
this is the organization."
I said that to
they with confidence in
myself.
"You have a point, it's a world without
sorceries. The concept of the ladder is
curbing the existence of magic
everyone present in
these stairs. It's the opposite of people
sent to the layer. Somebody
which is sent to the layer
conceptually they will realize
what is magic."((Sakuyas)
"What do you think... This is from
king Dystoria?"(Xanxus)
"That's impossible, a king
great as himself cannot
keeping his promise, it's too
ironically, this is so peaceful without any
a little conflict happened. I
pretty interested in what
now it's a sight
we are at the moment. How about
you guys?."((Afreons)
Afreon tried asking
they are about what they
think about this moment.
"You're right, honestly.
this is the time I have looked at this fantasy world. I'd like to visit
to the clothing store."((Sakuyas)
"I might go around.
a minute."
"That's it, so what's your answer.
Retnan?"(Afreons)
Hearing their desires
someone who just knew my old world.
I thought maybe this was the time
it's right for them to rest
momentary.
Besides, there are still
some things that make me
wonderingly.
"All right, you can be free and
I assume we're doing it now
a vacation. And yes, we will gather
back in five days
in the same place and time
the same."
In the end I decided
my choice is with what they
wanted.
And also, it's all on the basis of.
my wish to be expressed
this ladder world.
"All right, we're leaving."
They all went straight away
with their own wishes
each will guide
their path.
"Now, where am I going.
start off. But again this is difficult.
I believe this world city
describing my old world.
But I think I understand.
where will my path go."
I'm going straight away
moving my body, walking
go somewhere I
thought that was my goal.
***
It's urban and like
usually, crowds always happen
in different corners of the city. From the store
self-service, the activity of people who
works even the red light
regulating highway flow.
All of this is filled with a lot
the busyness of each individual.
"This world is different from mine,
and just showing civilization
just the same. And also... This
it sounds weird to have these stairs
it only holds a single world, though,
the infinite world is not.
can be observed in this stairway zone
which means. This ladder has.
a big space. Which can't
reached by the naked eye.
One thing I believe in.
which is in this stairway zone
the number of worlds does not
limited, all that
connect into one, for the moment
this is what I can think of."
I walk in the middle
city and go to a
find answers about these stairs.
Which is nothing else.. Something that
become the main center of this ladder.
"Darling.. Are you that!?"
A scream sounded trying
calling me.
I realized it straight away
look towards that scream
emanating.
Yet...
"He?.. Impossible..."
I was really surprised by
the presence of that person.
When I look at the whole
her body posture is spelled out
a woman, even more so when
I saw closed eyes
that fabric.
Really reminds me
to Verly.
"Finally you're back.."
He immediately ran up to me
and hugged my body with taste
blissfully.
But..
I still don't think that he
is Verly. Appearance too
very simple, like
housewife clothes.
It's just... The fabric that covers
his eyes doubt me.
Even though he doesn't have a pair
horn.
"I'm sorry... But, I think you're wrong
people. I'm just that organization
just arrived at this ladder. And...
I'm not your lover."
I don't know what to say
to the happy woman in
do me that.
All I can show you is
turn my face away from her.
"A... What you just
tell me?. We even just
she has become a newlywed.
Look at what's on your finger."
"I told you I didn't.....
Uh?"
I was surprised, I suddenly accepted
a ring on my finger.
Which may be. it replaces.
the ring Verly gave her.
The longer I get
confused with this world.
"Are you really going...
present myself? I'm willing
do anything but, please
don't say anything like that."
I feel like I want to get out of the situation
now, but. see someone.
it looks like Verly.
I feel... Can't do.
"If you may know... What is my name
and.you."
I turned my face away
from her.
".... Are you really losing
a memory? but if you ask
about it. Your name is.
Retnan Noir, and I was
Verly Noir."
"It's really confusing."
I keep thinking, actually
what is the concept of this world, and
what does it mean with users
magic doesn't happen here.
It looks to me like a prison
in my old life.
But. This might also be.
first steps to uncover
and end the journey on the stairs
without this meaning.
"What are you confused about, which
more importantly let's go back
to the apartment."
"Apartment?"
With Verly's happy taste
hold my hand straight away
and run together, heading to
the place he wanted.
***
Before long... We have finally
in front of the apartment
Verly meaning.
But again a few things.
amaze me.
Where is the apartment Verly
intent is... My apartment
time living in my old world.
I didn't expect to see
again the history of this house.
"All right, let's go in, baby."
"O-Oh..."
We finally went inside
the apartment, and yes,
everything looks so neat though
I no longer want to remember
my old life, but the mood
it's quite nostalgic.
"All right, I'll make it
coffee, you can wait in the room
the meal. And also. I want to.
discuss something with you.
All right, I'll go first."
I don't know what to say, though,
this world without magic, really
be different.
"But..."
I stretched out my hand
in the future, until...
A black katana sword
start to come slowly.
"I guessed. The ladder is only
resisting magic, but can't
the existence of power disappears
the core. Even so... Why don't you
there is someone who thinks
make a mess on these stairs,
they may not use
core strength. And also..."
*Pringgg*
The sound of the glass falling down
ruptures.
And at that moment, I realized this.
a less than appropriate time for me
to bring out the power
in front of the unacquainted Verly
magic or something.
"Wine..."
I saw Verly show
a face so shocked as if
frozen while watching me.
