Isekai Online's
Chapter 27 - Return Home
Hans woke up and removed the gaming equipment that covered his head. Seeing his current state of being in someone else's home, an unease arose from within him. He understands his current position, hitchhiking to play games at someone else's house feels uncomfortable but it happens because he is forced to do so.
In the end, the game he did led him to work alone. Someone who invited him to play together had disappeared by the dungeon's temptation. This proves if their interests and how to play them are different.
Hans looked at the monitor screen next to him, a status of the game equipment entering the stop phase, after the machine had stopped completely, Hans walked away from this room and picked up his equipment to rush home.
The clock on his phone signifies the time almost night.
“Ugh, at 19:06, there are no public vehicles other than online vehicles” grumbled Hans.
A small notification screen on his phone showed incoming messages and missed calls from his sister. The message he got was a small request to bring his sister's favorite dinner. Seeing the time approaching night and entering the dinner hour, Hans immediately rushed to return home.
This room is a private room used by Yuuki Saku and Yuuki Kotori to play the game Isekai Online, the equipment worn by Hans and Will Isaac is a backup equipment.
While passing through the exit, several family servants had stood up to greet Hans. Hans expressed this urgent need and said goodbye, although the host offered him dinner together but the memory of his death-ruler-like brother immediately flashed through his head.
The waiter suggested bringing some food to eat with his sister, Hans was a little hesitant about this offer and preferred to accept it at a later time if his sister came to visit. Of course, this offer did not end just like that. A service for the mediator came home. Hans who did not want to make a small problem in someone else's house and immediately agreed to it.
While walking out and past the living room, the relaxing host saw a large monitor screen looking at Hans' departure. A small conversation took place inside the room.
“Eh, isn't that it? a boy named Hans?”
“Iya, Mistress.”
“What do you think?”
“Eng??” the servant tilted his head.
“We have seen something interesting, who would have thought in such a game there are detectives in it. And.. why does Kotori seem familiar with the child? do you know anything?”
“Why not ask Fiona? Isn't it in his personal servant, maybe he knows a thing or two.”
“Really too! Why don't I think there? but why does he seem to be in such a hurry?”
“It seems, his sister's deteriorating condition made him rush” while saying that, the waiter stared at his phone screen and read the incoming message.
“Eh, what's with his sister?”
“He is only in the recovery phase after the accident, maybe some urgent incident is happening in his house.”
“Eh, is there no one in his house?”
“Both of his parents work abroad.”
“Ah...! you think.if I had Kotori bring dinner for the boy, would she take it?”
“With all due respect, Madam. Thoughts such as judging children themselves are bad actions and as much as possible should be held.”
“Mooo! I just want to have a little fun! What's wrong?”
There was no answer after that question, only a long breath coming out of the servant's mouth.

As James returned to his main post, in his study, a piece of paper piled up to touch the ceiling of his study caught his eye. He casually sat down on his chair and smiled. A small laughing voice came out from his mouth, his calm eyes suddenly turned red, his mind focused on the small paper left on his desk.
[I went to take off this fucking load, teehe~]
The reports and files with the date on the previous day caught James' attention. Casually, James took the paper and read the contents inside.
“Pension kayaknya good.”
“I'm tired of working! But the child does not know in profit it just goes away! Is he not afraid of the military law!”
“I need something to relieve my stress, do I have to go back to Nekoya Inn again?”
“But, old Mile will rampage again later.”
Suddenly, the sound of knocking on the door rang out and someone went inside.
“Eh, the General is back? It just so happened that there was an emergency report coming in. Etto.. where is Captain?”
“Forget that useless Captain, there is a problem what happened?”
“Er.. we got a report from Nekoya Inn of children who disappeared but.”
“But?”
“Er.. based on the report that entered them these are children who somehow turned into girls.”
“Huh? Meaning?”
“I also do not understand but based on the report of the Nekoya Inn, they are the children reported missing.”
“Mile, are you not satisfied with the incident?”
“Hemm??”
“Ah! Forget what I said just now, take the kids to the data and please bring some members to take care of it. How can kids be girls and who reports it?”
“Er.. Nekoya Inn?”
“I mean the name of the complainant!”
“Eh! Uh! M-Mile Sinov!”
“Fuck you, Mile!”

In the morning, as Saintess Vallie enjoys her free time reading the newspaper, she accidentally chokes. This incident made the Priestess around him shocked and then approached Saintess Vallie.
“Saintess Vallie, are you okay? Does the tea not suit your taste?”
“Ah, no, not that! I was just surprised by this incident” Saintess Vallie pointed to one of the newspaper articles featuring pages of abductees of children returning home.
Some of the priests who read the lines of the article were pleased with this incident.
“Thank God they can return safely, maybe they will be a little scared with the outside world for a while.”
“Or they need affection to rise from that severe trauma.”
“Saintess Vallie, do you want to visit those kids?”
Saintess Vallie was silent. Seeing the Priestess so enthusiastically waiting for her answer, Saintess Vallie again improved her sitting position.
“Ah, no need, besides this case has been taken care of by that person. If I want to know in detail what happened, I'll just go see the guy.”
“Means?” ask one of the priests.
“Mile Sinov, the kingdom's best former spy, somehow got fired from his job. There may be too many enemies in the blanket for this kingdom. I am concerned about the future of this kingdom. Whatever it is, the kids are turning into girls within three days. Isn't that very interesting? I think I need to visit Mile this weekend” Saintess Vallie said.
