Tsuki Ga Michibiku Isekai Douchuu
Chapter 23: Mio's precious feelings

When I returned, I saw the somewhat tired face of waka-sama and the gentle face of Tomoe-san.

In the inner room there was one person sleeping. That must be the girl we brought in not too long ago.

There was a woman sitting facing two people with clear hostile intentions.

Tomoe-san if you want to interrogate, a man would be a better choice for waka.

Then it means that the woman with the black cloth covering her body is the friend of the two people who feel bad?

They really don't taste good. Even when I let the darkness eat it, it did not fill it at all.

They can't even be used in my knife and fork exercises - oh, I have to refrain from the notation again or I feel waka-sama will be angry with me.

Even if I enter the interrogation, I feel like I will be left behind.

After all, I still have a lot to learn about society, I cannot capture the subtle emotions of people so it is difficult for me to make a deal.

If I carelessly end up eating, waka-sama and Tomoe-san will only feel unhappy about it.

Merely, expressionless waka-sama that I have never seen, I have little interest in it. In the sense that I want to avoid that from happening.

What kind of exchange do they have?

“Tomoe, do. Can you be right? ” (Makoto)

"Yes. Most likely ”(Tomoe)

In that brief conversation, Tomoe-san shrouded the mist inside the captive. I knew there was a slight movement but no resistance, his body started to wobble and eventually fell onto the bed.

Is this some kind of sleep magic? But the fog still has not disappeared-desu wa ne.

"Well, with this are you able to tell the facial expression?" (Tomos)

Tomoe-san made a gesture as if confirming something.

“It seems like no problem. Can you allow to communicate while in this condition? " (Macoto)

How expressionless. This is the first time I've seen that face. I felt a hint of killing intent on the woman who made waka have such a face.

"I'll translate the words" (Tomoe)

"I don't mind. Let's start "(Makoto)

It seems like the two of them haven't realized that I'm back. The reason may be, the strong pressure that waka-sama is emitting. There was no killing intent or anger but there was an inexplicable pressure.

“But this is no different from intelligence recognition. How bland "(Tomoe)

To be able to mix up reckless talk in this kind of situation, Tomoe-san is really something.

“I don't care. This may not suit your taste, but this is how the work is done. Let it be a threat or dope, I don't care as long as he leaks it ”(Makoto)

“... Mengerti” (Tomoe)

“Very helpful that you are here. I'm glad I don't need medicine to make him confess. And I don't know how to torture "(Makoto)

He's not cold but he's not warm.

It was an uninterested voice. I've heard that in the waka world, people can't kill each other.

That's why I thought waka-sama would definitely be in trouble when he had to deal with the matter of life and death but ...

… Maybe.

No, whatever it is, it's not something that matters to me.

Even if I have not received the ruling pact, waka has taken a part of my soul, I have decided to offer this body to him.

This sufficiency and happiness are all things that waka-sama gave me.

Everything else is just a trivial matter.

Yes that's true. I have reaffirmed my own feelings.

The two continued their interrogation.

From their conversation, I could understand that they had done something for him to admit and it went smoothly.

They must have asked for most of what they needed. The two took a deep breath and the mist spread out, they stared at each other in the face.

This might be a good time.

“Thank you for your hard work, are you done now?” (Mio)

"Huh? Oh, Mio. Yeah, what about your side? ” (Makoto)

Waka-sama looked surprised for a moment but she immediately returned to her cheerful self and responded to me. His usual self.

“Of course I'm done. It was very unappetizing "(Mio)

I saw Tomoe-san at a glance. He made a wry smile and said a few words of apology.

“You have helped me a lot. It has very well gone the route that Tomoe really likes "(Makoto)

Tomoe-san is?

If I remember correctly, it was a 'perfect crime', that kind of person. I didn't ask you in detail about that.

"No, no, with what's going on, there won't be a tailor from now on, well this way, it doesn't look like it's going to be interesting" (Tomoe)

I can't understand half of what Tomoe-san is trying to say.

What I understand is that in a few days the situation will be resolved.

“Then, does that mean we will move starting tomorrow?” (Mio)

When he talked about tailors, he was definitely referring to this black-clothed woman. Then that means we're done tonight.

The next one is present, right ?!

Ah ~ my chest is throbbing !!

“A-Ara ?! Um waka-sama, this? ” (Mio)

As I was immersed in my fantasy, I was shown a piece of paper.

That might be an image made using charcoal? There was a young lady who was smiling cheerfully.

It was drawn from the chest upwards, a smiling face that was easy to see. It was made pretty well.

"That's the girl's older sister" (Makoto)

Waka-sama told me about the meaning of this thing. Ah ~ so. So this girl.

First of all, the reason we brought this girl here was because she asked us about her missing sister.

At that time I had already sensed, even if it was just a second, the presence of someone watching, so waka-sama decided to take the girl with us.

I have no desire to stop waka-sama, if it is something that has been decided by waka-sama then I have no complaints.

“I know where this girl is. So, I'm sorry but I'll ask you two to go find "(Makoto) right away

… Wa?

U-Uhm. Does this mean yes. That we're not going to sleep?

“Wa-Waka ?! Are you telling me that I will go without eating and sleeping ?! ” (Tomoe)

The objection of Tomoe-san is really accurate-desu!

"That's fine. You guys are fine even though you don't sleep every day right? ” (Makoto)

Wun. Of course, we can easily go a few months or even a few years without any problems but.

Also…

"That's, um, that's true but ..." (Mio)

“Waka, I want to sleep! Ever since my body changed like this, I understood the comfort of sleep-no ja! ” (Tomoe)

Tomoe-san is very straightforward. But I am the same. From the moment I turned into a human, it was only a few days but to think I would find the act of sleeping so comfortable.

“Tomoe, I thought you knew from the interrogation just now but there's no guarantee this girl is okay. You have to know the place so if you two then most of the problems can be dealt with "(Makoto)

“Although this is a situation where we have no guarantee, we will rush-desu, right?” (Mio)

I said the question I had in mind. But it seems like this is a verbal mistake as waka-sama's eyes become almost expressionless once again.

“Mio, if possible, I want to save this girl's older sister. I'm asking you, if he's safe, please protect him and bring him safely here. Even if that is not possible, try your best to let me know as soon as possible. Okay?" (Macoto)

*engage

I secretly agreed. It feels uncomfortable. I don't want waka-sama to see me with such eyes.

An inorganic gaze that felt like he had lost all interest. For me to be a meaningless existence to him, I don't want that to happen!

When I looked for Tomoe-san with my eyes, I saw that she nervously swung her head up and down.

“Sorry, tomorrow I will go to the trading area with this girl so don't worry. For now, confirm the safety of the girl. We do not have enough hands, we have to use everything we have ”(Makoto)

“If it is like that then it is inevitable. Koumon-sama's job is to protect the troubled person and wait for his report. Mio, let's go "(Tomoe)

Tomoe-san seems to have started to understand. It was an exchange I didn't get.

I am thankful that the place was calm.

It is better that waka-sama be cheerful. I thank Tomoe-san for that.

"Ah, and also ..." (Tomos)

As we were about to walk out the door, Tomoe-san turned around.

"What's that?" (Macoto)

I am happy, waka-sama spoke in his usual way.

“When this issue is resolved, I, um, I want to call myself by the word 'washi' * - desu ga” (Tomoe) (TN: washi is like an older way of calling yourself)

I felt waka-sama instantly lost all of his tension.

I also-desu. That's the kind of thing you have to do if you want.

"I-I don't think I mind but, rather, why are you asking?" (Macoto)

Seriously-desu.

“Well ~ that way is more suitable for me but, as expected, from my position, I should not use 'wachi' or so I thought. I feel that this is a trademark for Koumon-sama "(Tomoe)

"... Do as you please" (Makoto)

“Oh! I'm so grateful-desu zo! Then!!" (Tomos)

Completely relaxing her facial expression, Tomoe-san expressed her gratitude and opened the door. I followed him and left the inn. He knows where we should go, so I just have to follow him.

When we were outside, I had one thing on my mind.

Thankfully it was just me and him. It was late at night so there was no sign of people walking around.

“Um, Tomoe-san. Waka-sama looks like she is going through a storm but, did something happen? " (Mio)

“I don't know. Thanks to your return, the conversation can continue, to be honest, you are the savior. This portrait, you've seen it too right? ” (Tomoe)

"Yes, it's onee-san from the girl we brought back" (Mio)

“It's true then. The girl seemed to be good at drawing so it seemed like she was told to draw her sister "(Tomoe)

"That's very impressive for people his age" (Mio)

I heard that he was only 10 years old.

“Umu, but that's since then-nan ja. Waka's eyes were like, losing all of his emotions, but carrying a strange pressure inside of them "(Tomoe)

I remember it for a moment. That's right, I've never felt such silent pressure before.

“Could he be acquaintance?” (Mio)

“Obviously no. Waka not only has no friends, he should not have one acquaintance-ja ”(Tomoe)

With a way of speaking that felt like it had a hidden meaning, Tomoe-san completely denied what I said.

“... Tomoe-san really knows a lot about waka-sama huh. Although you haven't seen him for long "(Mio)

From what waka-sama told me, it should only be a few days before he met me.

“You could say so. My case is rather special "(Tomoe)

“Can I ask?” (Mio)

“Yes, I don't mind. I can control the illusion but, it may be a byproduct of the process, a completely different ability is created "(Tomoe)

“... And the conclusion is?” (Mio)

“I can see the memories of my target. And I saw them. That's what happened "(Tomoe)

"You see?! Waka-sama's memory ?! A woman who should be a servant ?! ” (Mio)

“At that time we were still enemies. Just like your case "(Tomoe)

Ugh. When he says it like that, he has a point. Our meeting was an attack but.

What an envious, I mean, disrespectful thing to do.

“Then, what is waka-sama?” (Mio)

“You should hear it directly from waka. Learn about each other and build trust ”(Tomoe)

"Uh, that's a reasonable argument but it's kind of unfair" (Mio)

“Currently I can't see either. By the way, I can't see your memories either. Waka gave me permission for part of his memory "(Tomoe)

My memories? Do I have a memory of my time when I was driven by my instincts?

“Then, there is information about the girl in the memory that you have seen?” (Mio)

Right, there must be something in his memory.

But Tomoe-san shook her head horizontally.

“As expected, I can't say that much. Because of the pact, many parts have been sealed. There are some memories that are not limited to me, there may be some information in it but well it does not matter, which for sure is ... "(Tomoe)

Tomoe who walked in front, turned around.

"Unless we bring information about the protection of the girl, the waka will remain in a harsh mood for a while" (Tomoe)

That must be an important issue.

To be honest I don't want to continue the journey with that kind of atmosphere. I want to avoid that in any way. I see, when I think about it, it must be like that.

"I understand. Before thinking about unloading unnecessary we should concentrate first to complete the mission-desu wa ne ”(Mio)

For the future too.

Using a technique that allows me to blend lightly into the shadows, I continue the mission in order to continue the fun journey
