Lead the other world.

Where am I?

Takumi, who opened her eyes, was somewhere in a space surrounded by water when she noticed.

The vision is clear for some reason, even though the light doesn't seem to shine around. And even though it's in the water, my eyes don't hurt. Looks like I can breathe on top of it.

- You're not sloppy at all... aren't you training enough to fall just because you used that much magic? Uh-huh.

Takumi was suddenly surprised by the sound of a voice that rang from somewhere, and heard it back.

(Who are you? And what the hell is this place...)

- This is your dream. You lost your mind after the fight, don't you remember? Uh-huh.

Takumi remembered that she was exhausted and about to lose her mind even as she was concerned that this was the place to dream.

- I'm not ready to give you a name yet. Because I don't rely on it at all. This time, I stood up to something more powerful than myself, and I spared that courage a little help, but this isn't happening anymore.

At the end of the word, Takumi felt her body slowly surfacing. Before I realized it, my consciousness went far away.

- Whoa, whoa.

"... hmm? Is this... Huh!?

When Takumi opened her eyes, there was a worrying walnut face in front of her.

And from the soft feel behind my head and the position of my walnut face, I noticed that Takumi was knee-pillowed by walnuts.

"Oh, sorry!?

"Good...... Hey! Iris ~! Takumi woke up!

Takumi gained momentum when she realized she was being knee-pillowed. I felt like Walnut looked a little lonely for some reason, but I dared not stick to that.

Takumi looked around and found Bundersnatch's body a short distance away, turning out that this was the forest where we had been fighting until just now.

Once again, Takumi, who was able to survive for the three of us, eased and turned to Walnut and asked.

"How long have I been out of my mind?

"Mm-hmm. Isn't that about twenty minutes? In the meantime, Iris's magic is enough to get you back to the village. Right!

Iris seemed to be on guard around him, and in response to Walnut's words that Takumi had woken up, he rushed over here with a slightly reassuring look.

"Takumi! Is your injury okay? For once, I applied healing magic, but does it hurt anywhere?

"No, I hardly feel any pain! Thanks Iris, Walnut!

- Whoa, whoa.

The three then took a short break before stripping off the bundersnatch material before returning to the village and telling the village chief what was going on. The village chief who heard the story was crying and bowing his head many times to thank Takumi and the others.

Then, as Takumi and the others were resting in the inn's liquor store, the information spread instantly because it was a small village with information that Takumi and the others had defeated Bandersnatch, and they heard the information that the party that was raising the village that night would take place in the inn's liquor store where they were now.

At first, Takumi and the others were due to leave the village by the end of the day, but they were all tired of fighting Bundersnatch on the boulder so they decided to leave tomorrow morning and join the party because it was a corner.

- Whoa, whoa.

I hear pleasant voices from all around, and the villagers are making a scene with one hand of jock.

(Not bad... like this)

Takumi was sitting in a chair, looking at the villagers laughing with pleasure, narrowing her eyes and smiling at one mouth.

It had been awhile since the party had already begun, and Iris, elegantly holding the jock with both hands with a glistening face when he looked elsewhere, was sitting in the seat next to a man who was drunk and collapsed from his chair to the floor and laughed bitterly.

Iris doesn't mean he particularly likes alcohol, but he seems to be in a physique that doesn't get drunk no matter how much he drinks, and the men in the village challenged him to battle over which he can get drunk, and he was already out of eight.

Takumi, still unable to drink, went outside thinking alone to hit the night breeze.

Takumi was trying to remember right after the battle with Bandersnatch as it led to the inn wall.

When I was passing out, what was the big dream? I think I saw... I can't remember much...)

"What's going on? Any thoughts?

When I was alone in the night breeze, a walnut in my personal clothes, wearing my usual white muffler, came out from behind and shouted at me with a flickering smile.

"Walnuts..."

Then Takumi told Walnut what he was thinking now, and Walnut laughed cuckoo.

"Pfft! I'll soon forget my dreams ~"

"haha...... well, yeah"

Walnut asked Takumi a question when he suddenly looked like he remembered something.

"Oh, yeah. Speaking of which, Iris told me that Takumi suddenly started using a knife when he was fighting a bundersnatch, and he was overwhelmed by letting a water dragon out of his knife, is that true? Iris doesn't feel like he's going to tell a lot of lies and jokes, so I'm curious."

Takumi replied with a bitter smile to the walnut staring seriously at Takumi.

"No, that's what I don't know exactly either..."

And when Takumi told Walnut what he saw at the time and asked him if he knew anything, he replied that Walnut couldn't figure it out at all, smiling.

When silence flowed between them for a while, Walnut stretched out his hand and groaned as he stared into the night sky with a distant eye.

"I... you came back alive... Takumi helped us get to the point, didn't she? I heard Takumi's voice just a little while before I lost consciousness. Thanks...... glad to hear it!

Walnut said so before turning back to Takumi, and the moment Takumi and his eyes met, he panicked away and blushed his cheeks slightly as he hid his mouth with a muffler.

And Takumi returned the words to Walnut with a smile on her face.

"Ha... don't light something up. Well, even I was saved at the end. Thanks for coming!

We got kind of embarrassed about each other, and when we were unable to see our faces properly, the liquor store people heard Iris looking fine.

"Takumi! Walnuts! Where ~? You're out of rice ~!

When they heard Iris' voice, they laughed small at each other and went back to the tavern.
