Finding Your Way Home In Another World With The Gender Change Skill/Shadow & The Jester [Remake]
Chapter 38: Desperation and Family

After I heard the sound of the stream, I slowly started to open my eyes and the first thing I saw was a fairly large tree.

When I saw the big tree, I immediately let out a sigh of relief and began to turn my gaze towards the side.

I was so grateful, when I saw that Niji and Miyuki were still beside me. However, the moment I started to turn my eyes back, I immediately froze and became very trembling.

“Darling, are you okay?”

I heard Niji ask me something, but I immediately ignored him and tried to understand what happened after I fainted.

If anyone asks me why I am trembling in fear, it is because when I turn around, the first thing I see is a completely destroyed forest and a lot of fallen trees.

It did not stop there, even there were a lot of blood spots and corpses scattered everywhere. It was as if there had been a battle in this place.

When I saw that, my mind instantly became empty, I could not think of anything and could only stare blankly at the place.

Ehh... What is going on in this place? Why are there so many blood spots and monster corpses everywhere? No, that's not what's important right now, what's more important right now is where the girls are....

When I started to recall memories that I did not want to remember at all, I immediately ran towards that place and started looking for the girls.

“Oyy!! You're all where!!” I shouted that while trying to see every corpse that was there.

“Do not play around like this!! It's really not funny at all!!” I shouted that while continuing to search for the whereabouts of the girls.

After I searched every corner of the place, I still hadn't discovered the whereabouts of any of the girls.

Then as I began to despair, I suddenly saw an object that made my mind go blank.

The thing I saw was a red hair tie with a black zigzag pattern, and the hair tie was a hair tie that Shinomiya-san often wore.

Without a second thought, I immediately ran towards the hair tie, when I got there, I instantly froze when I saw the whole hair tie was covered with blood.

The moment I saw the bloodstains on the hair tie, I immediately fell to the ground, because all the power I had disappeared instantly.

[Unable to understand]

I'm not joking Heavenly-san, I don't mean Heavenly Voice!!

After I said that inwardly to Heavenly-san, he just kept quiet and did not answer her at all.

As my mind was filled with guilt and regret, I suddenly felt someone embrace me.

When I turned my gaze towards the person who was hugging me, I was immediately shocked at the sight of Miyuki who was hugging me with tears rushing down her face.

By the time Miyuki sensed my gaze, she immediately turned her gaze to me and spoke in a very sad tone.

“Papa..hiks...Miyuki doesn't want to see Papa suffer like this...Don't blame yourself.hiks...It's not Papa's fault.hiks...Papa is not wrong at all.hiks...Because of that.hiks...Stop blaming yourself..hiks..hiks....”.

Tick ticks

After hearing Miyuki's words, I somehow started to feel something warm start flowing from my cheeks.

Then my head was suddenly pulled towards the chest from Niji, after which, Niji started stroking my hair and said something with a very soft tone of voice.

“Which Miyuki-chan said is true Darling, it's not your fault, they want to come with you on their own, so it's not your fault”

When I heard that, I couldn't hold her back anymore and started crying in Niji's arms.

“However, since we are now a family, let me help Darling bear that as well, I don't want to see Darling suffer like this anymore” Niji continued in a tone that became softer while smiling very warmly at me.

After I heard that, I immediately started to look at Niji and started to open my mouth in trembling.

“Ke...Outside..ga?” I asked that to Niji with a very trembling tone of voice.

After hearing the question from me, the smile Niji had became even warmer, then he started to open his mouth and said.

“Yes, we are a family, because of that, Darling from now on must not bear all of her alone anymore, from now on I will listen to all the problems Darling has and we will bear all of them together” Niji said in a very soft tone of voice while looking at me warmly.

After I heard that, somehow the hole in my chest became smaller, unlike when I was with the girls, the hole closed perfectly, because of the warmth I have not felt for a long time.

As my mind began to calm down again, Niji suddenly pulled my head closer to her head and began to bring her lips closer to mine.

Then we started kissing, although at first I was a little surprised, but somehow I didn't mind, so we started kissing romantically.

After about 5 minutes of kissing, Niji finally started to separate his lips from mine, then he started to open his mouth and said.

“I love you Darling” Niji said in a warm tone while smiling gently at me.

When I heard that sudden statement, I was a little surprised, then I started to open my mouth and say.

“I also love you Niji” I said it with a warm tone while giving a very sincere smile.

When the atmosphere there becomes romantic, suddenly someone starts to step forward and separate us while talking in an annoyed tone.

“Mooo... Stop teasing each other in front of Miyuki!!”  Said a white-haired little girl in an angry tone while puffing her cheeks.

Me and Niji laughed immediately, when they saw Miyuki's behavior. By the time Miyuki saw me and Niji laughing, she became even more upset and started opening her mouth again and said in an increasingly irritated tone.

“Papa and Mama baka!! Why are Papa and Mama laughing at Miyuki like that!! Miyuki hates Papa and Mama!” Say this little girl in an annoyed tone while puffing her cheeks and crossing her arms.

By the time Niji and I saw that, we couldn't help but laugh, when we saw Miyuki's extremely cute temper.

On the other hand, the moment Miyuki saw me and Niji still laughing, she then started to turn around and walked away in annoyance.

When I saw Miyuki who wanted to walk away, I immediately stopped her and started bringing her into my lap, then I started to open my mouth and say.

“Papa also loves Miyuki, so don't sulk okay, if Miyuki is sulking, Papa will be sad” My speech with a tone that looks sad while hugging Miyuki tightly.

By the time Miyuki heard my words, she started to become a little quiver and started to turn towards me, then she started to open her mouth and say.

“Papa don't cry, Miyuki doesn't sulk kok” Miyuki said in a reassuring tone of voice while looking at me my eyes with worry.

When I saw that, I couldn't help but smile internally, then I started to open my mouth again and said.

“Really?” I asked in a trembling tone, while looking into Miyuki's eyes with puppy eyes.

Miyuki who saw my gaze, felt very guilty, then she immediately opened her mouth and said.

“Really!! Miyuki doesn't sulk, so papa don't cry okay?” Miyuki said that in a reassuring tone while holding my hand.

“Then you have to promise Papa, if you won't snack again okay?” I asked with a voice that looked very pleading, while looking into Miyuki's eyes with puppy eyes that were still the same as before.

Miyuki who saw the look in my eyes, could not say no and immediately approved of her without hesitation.

“Iya!! Miyuki promised!!” Miyuki replied with the same tone of voice as before, while looking at me with a reassuring smile.

When she heard Miyuki's reply, a smile immediately adorned my face and began to open my mouth again to speak.

“Good~~ Miyuki good boy” My word with warm tone while stroking Miyuki's head.

Miyuki who saw me stroking her head so gently, she started to sit back on my lap and started to enjoy my caress.

On the other hand, Niji who saw that, he could not hold it anymore and started laughing out loud.

Miyuki and I started to look towards Niji who suddenly started laughing out loud and could only stare at her in confusion.

“Mama what's wrong?” Miyuki asked in a confused tone while tilting her head to the side.

I, who already knew the reason why Niji laughed, just stared at him in silence while continuing to stroke Miyuki's head.

After hearing the question from Miyuki, Niji started to stop his laughter and walked closer towards us.

After he was near us, Niji started to sit on my left side and turned to look at Miyuki, then he started to open his mouth and said.

“No, Mama just wanted to say, if Mama also loves Miyuki” Niji said with a warm tone while stroking Miyuki's cheek.

Miyuki who heard that, then she started to open her mouth and said.

“Miyuki also loves Mama!” Miyuki said with a pleased tone while smiling towards Niji.

After that, the three of us began to enjoy this harmonious atmosphere without speaking a single bit. Even so, the three of us both had happy smiles on our faces.

After about 20 minutes, I suddenly started to feel something start to approach us.

When I sensed that, I got up and handed Miyuki over to Niji, then I started staring deeply into the forest.

“It looks like I've got a clue where the girls are” said me while staring intently into the forest and started touching the bokken on my waist.
