Maid Will Go on Through Thick and Thin!

'... hey'

Mr. Ketrami was coming over here with an indescribable face.

"Maido... put it down, you're nasty, are you?

Huntle comes to my feet worried.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. It's really hard. "

Glida came. The voice is gentle.

'... Isn't this a bad thing for Master Maido?

"So what?"

"So what?"

Ugh. Don't strangle me at the same time. I'm not gonna bump shrimp fry.

... and even Terra and Sura stop by my place to notice.

The maids also said, "Is that it? 'He looks at me like that.

Yeah. What you need to have is good buddy monsters and buddy dolls.

... Yeah, well, the solution, I know, right?

... For a long time, I was willing to be left behind. No, that's not what I meant.

What I had with them was more respect than friendship.

So I couldn't catch up, or maybe I'm just like this, or so I thought.

... but no way, this is how they left me. Oh, you didn't think.

Not to mention 'I don't feel like being left' at last, but it is.

... I think maybe when I came to this world, I wanted to be left behind.

And I'm sure, by that means, I got this world my ability as a 'maid'.

It was the role I was waiting for.

It wasn't the part where I could go with everyone.

But in the end, they didn't leave me.

... I can tell you now.

I probably won't be left again, even back in the original world.

In a little over a year, we'll be apart.... No, 'cause come on, there's a difference in academic achievement... Yeah, let's not think about this.

So, maybe, I don't think we're going in the same direction.

But the speed. The size of the vector, not the orientation.

... I'm sure I can stand shoulder to shoulder with them.

If they're going to leave me, then leave me, and I mean, let's not do that anymore.

You're human anyway, so one day you'll break up, but that doesn't have to be now.

He said he enjoyed it a little more, and he wouldn't be punished.

"Goddess, Demon King"

Disturbing the Crystal Palace in Nara, there was a demon king and a goddess sitting together across a chessboard.

"Return to the original world, tell me the third way"

"... to the point of completion, So I missed my way home."

When I explained to the goddess and the demon king, he looked indescribable.

And the demon king made me tea, and the goddess served arrow cod and delicious fruit instead of tea treats.

What? This is super good.

Flowery aromas and a smooth, yet smooth texture. Refreshing sweetness for the strong and slightly stronger acidity that adds to it.

It looks like peaches or pears, but it's smoother and thicker.

I want to take this home.

"One thing I'd like to confirm. Am I integrating with the culprit?"

I'll ask what worries me as I get a good cup of tea and fruit.

"If so, when Maido was dropped in this world, it would be." Sharing "should have only slightly turned the magic destination of" Ball of the Void "into Maido himself. It's just... Earlier, that's not a 'ball of void'. … I suppose its form is completely lost, sucking magic and carrying it into your world."

Hmm, so, I'm not in the culprit count, is that a good idea?

... No, considering the compass pointed to me, I guess the count of the temple is crowded with me too.

"Even if the magic was high because of it, there would have been less magic available. It would have been useless if it had been sucked from the side where the magic gushed out.... You've put a load on me because of that, to Maido. I'm so sorry."

Uh, was that the rationale behind my combat power 0? Heh.

I don't know, a little neat.

"Well.... back to the original world, the third way, was"

The goddess stood up and said:

"Go beyond the end of the world. Believe me everywhere and move on."

And after I shut up to get a little lost, I said:

"Here is the key to transcending the end of the world"

On the hand of the goddess, a beautiful blue key appeared.

"And... if you want this, win the rest!

... there it is.

The goddess, though harsh, looks spicy.

The Demon King also has his lips tied.

Well, I guess that's the thing.

It's settled, but I really don't want to do it. I guess that's what this is about.

I'm not going to complain about it, I'm rather motivated.

"So let's decide the battle with the millionaires"

'Cause you don't get to play cards with goddesses and demon kings very often, do you?

When I said that, the "ho" condition of the face of the Goddess and the Demon King was wonderful.

Yeah, 'cause if we hit each other, even the Demon King dies in an instant, and there's no way I can win.

"But do you even join Dmitrias?

"... Fiana, when the two of us compete, all the cards that are not on their own hand become the other card. It won't be a battle."

Yeah. That's the thing.

"So if I go up ahead of the goddess, I win."

"Complete. All right, here we go."

Let's start the game by borrowing cards similar to the cards found in the Demon King's house.

... This card seems to be handmade by the Demon King.

Cards made of thin, thinly shredded gemstones and metalwork, somehow...... the area of crafts.

And he said he had the magic of preventing fraud hanging from one card to the next, like a boulder demon king. So don't worry about fraud.

"Well, then, it's from Dmitrias."

By the way, the order is Demon King - Goddess - Me.

"Long time no see."

The Demon King puts five of the clubs on the field.

"Hmm, this is it, then"

Goddess is 6 of Dia. Carve it.

"Well, here I am"

I serve two of hearts.

The game is going steadily.

By the way, I'm not nervous at all.

The goddess said, 'Win the rest'. I didn't say 'don't lose any more'.

So if you sign up for a rematch as many times as you want, you'll win one day, maybe.

"Then cut with 8, revolution"

"Revolution Return"

... Somehow, in small numbers of three, and at the point where the opponent is the Goddess and the Demon King, I imagined, it is in a very rough phase.

Oh, my God, you're giving back the revolution!

"It's a double of 9. Aren't you there? Then it's a 9, 10, and J sequence. You're not here? Then cut with 8 and go up with 5."

As a result, I was able to win.

If it was a millionaire, I would have done it with all of you. I'm already perfectly good at remembering who put out which bills.

So, the part other than luck, totally stood on par with the Goddess and the Demon King.

... and well, it was a game of luck involved.

If this was a total head battle chess or something, I would never have won.

"Hmm, you got hit with this"

That's what the goddess said, she seemed a little happy.

"Then it's the key to a promise. If you hit the end of the world, use this to open the door."

The goddess meditated as she put a chain on my neck attached to the key.

"It's gonna be a hard, long trip. Proceed with your heart.... You may resent me. Please."

"I resent you. I resent you very much. So for that matter, thank you for this world."

When I said blocking the Goddess's words and stared straight back at her open blue eyes, the color of the sky would shake as she pretended.

"Let's promise. This world must never be like this again."

There's not much a goddess can do right now without magic.

But there will be plenty to do.

And I'm sure this goddess would manage to do it.

"You should take this. It'll be your back."

The Demon King gave me something like a headphone made of red stone and metal finishing.

"If you're tired of traveling, you should put this to your ear.... will be drugs for the weak-hearted, but I'm sure you'll be fine"

I'll try it on.

... I heard voices.

That could be casual chatter or an ops conference.

Or a voice calling my name.

"Thanks. Looks like I can do my best"

I guess the further I miss this voice and forget, the longer the journey will be.

Still, I'm going home. Go home, now. From now on.

... This will is one of the things I was able to get in this world.

I don't think it was an unfortunate thing to be in this world.

When I got back on the ground, I started packing.

Have food and water because 'metastasis' may no longer work.

Then, sentimental, but also memorable of this world.

I don't know how long the journey will be.

In the end, I decided to go with the policy of "Be."

If I can't 'metastasize', I'll think about it then.

"Hey."

That's when I heard Mr. Ketrami.

'You're going. I'll give you a ride.'

... Look, they're all here. Huntle, Glida, Malvero, Dragons. And the maids.

"They're long and hard. Still coming?

It will be a long journey, the goddess said.

... So I'm sure you shouldn't take me.

But they know, and they don't leave.

"Yeah. Well, let me ask you a favor"

Mr. Ketrami's tail strokes me. You can see it as an affirmation.

"Okay, then 'metastasis'!

First, we moved to the end of the world.

It was the same as when I came here.

And the lace pattern the waves paint on the sandy beach. Far horizon too. And oddly enough, the sea sky too.

Walking towards the sea, he still touched something like a wall, just like before.

"Right here, right?"

There, give me the key the goddess gave me, and slowly, turn the key.

... Kacha, and I thought I heard a noise.

Go beyond the end of the world.

They could even walk on the waves here. It's like there's glass on the water.

Watching the setting sun, Mr. Ketrami gives me a ride to move on.

Eventually the moon climbs in the sky.

... Speaking of which, I forgot to ask Suzumoto about the stars in the sky in this world.

It would have been interesting to hear it.

... It's gonna be a long journey anyway. You may want to remember not one star in this world and then go home.

I noticed it after a while.

Here, they don't need to eat or sleep.

If I wasn't tired, I wouldn't have been hungry.

I hear the Ketrami and the others are the same.

Yeah, food, maybe I didn't need it.

Maybe it's been about January.

No, I stopped counting along the way. Outreach I don't seem to have the guts.

Moving on while talking to Ketrami and the others, I sometimes switch from Ketrami to Glida and Marvelo (what a ride Terra and Sura and the other Dragons took), and just sometimes, I take care of the headphones that the Demon King gave me.

Just go ahead.

Proceed everywhere.

Spread out.

The scenery remains unchanged. There's just the sky and the ocean all the time, and there's no big change there.

Neither the sun nor the moon is ever close, nor the shore is ever visible.

I know day and night, so the feeling of time doesn't go crazy.

Is that a happy thing or an unfortunate thing?

... Well, is it better than feeling weird about time?

I seriously forgot how long it's been.

Come on, I think I've run out of conversation with Mr. Ketrami and the others.

No, I forgot what I told you in the beginning, and I don't know if you're looping again or if it's a new topic, but it's about Echo.

No, I was quite prepared, but it's long on boulders.

I wonder how much longer it will last.

I'm starting to wonder if I'm sane.

I have a conversation with Mr. Ketrami and the others, and they'll probably be fine. Maybe.

... I had a slightly unpleasant feeling and tried a bit of dried meat from the food and it was shocking.

"Taste" sounds wonderful!

I think the stars are changing.

No, I can't deny that my eyes or my head are going crazy.

Still, the headphones the Demon King gave me. Thank you so much for this.

Had it not been for this, I would have forgotten a lot.

Unlike tape, you don't have to worry about rubbing it off no matter how many times you ask.

Maybe, no, absolutely, if it was tape, you'd be rubbing it off, this.

When I came to a certain place, I came across one door and one gate, a pong, a certain place.

It's been a while since I've seen anything but the sky and the sea with Mr. Ketrami, so it's a little too unrealistic, maybe for a whole day. So I was doing, "Wow, what is this? What is this?"

Beyond the gates is the forest, not the sky or the sea. Even if you turn to the other side of the gate and take a look, there are woods after all.

...... oh. Sounds like the gateway to "Welcome home".

"... say goodbye here, is that him?"

I guess this is the right time for Mr. Ketrami and the others to go home.

That's all of us, okay.

"... Maido, stay well"

Huntle wrapped himself around my waist and said goodbye.

"Ha-ha, Atashi, maybe I spent half my life with you."

Maybe Glida's right. Yeah, it's been ten years, I'm convinced.

"Ma, stay well."

Glida said so and just dived into the gate. Light, it looks like a glida.

"Master Maido. I don't know if it's long or short. It was a long time, but thanks for your help!

"I, Marvelo, will never forget Master Maido!

'I can't forget! Good luck!

That's what Malvero says and dives the gate.

"Say hello to Maido and Kakusa-sama"

Say hello to Hanagasaki.

Terra and Sura too (I've been passing on the boulder for this long time. Otherwise I can't talk to you) My greetings go diving down the gate there too.

The Dragons, too, each while giving their husband's name (you remembered well.... Oh, isn't monster lifespan human that? So, naturally, naturally?) Left.

The maids aligned themselves fluffy in the air and saluted them, so I salute them back, too.

Jeez, and after staring at me for about a second, the maids disappeared into the gate.

Finally, Huntle and Ketrami remain.

'... I am. I thought you were gonna die.'

"That's an odd encounter. I thought I was gonna die, too."

I felt that was what I deserved, and that's all I could imagine.

If they're going to leave me, they're going to leave me. If you're going to die, you should start. That's right.

"Damn, that was totally unexpected."

Mr. Ketrami stroked me in a bad way, pretending even with his tail.

"... masterful."

You're a master.

"Yeah.... neither Ketrami, nor Huntle.... Be well."

And Ketrami waves his tail and responds, and Huntle rides over Ketrami, looking at me, dives down the gate.

And I can't see anymore.

... Me too, I have to go.

The other one, the door, is not locked, and opens without difficulty.

... It seems to be in a building somewhere.

in a circular room, stretched high and up.

The spiral staircase continues all the way along its walls.

Yeah, it's not bitter or anything because I can see ahead.

When I climbed to the top, the door was attached.

When I open the door, the light comes into an avalanche at once.

When I opened my eyes, that was the top of the clock tower.

What was spreading beneath my eyes was a strange world, like the first time I had seen it, like I knew it well.

Several giant gears are meshing and turning in the universe.

Beyond a row of decorative golden gears, silver realistic made gears.

Both the gear that moves as calculated exactly, and this big clock tower that seems to be moving with that gear, in a mechanical world, and then somewhere is broken, and it still moves, such a world.

Looking back, it was the flower garden that was spreading behind me.

... blooming in Nara, it was like that blue flower garden.

360 degrees, everywhere I looked, it was the world of my choice.

I wonder where this place is, and I've thought about it.

Long ago... when I fought Glida. You're dying, I don't know, after the Glida world made of mirrors and glass, I came here.

... somehow, I can tell by the senses. This is probably my world, what it is.

The world inside me. Beautiful gear revolves around the sky in front, the sky is beautiful everywhere, and all the way back, there are flower gardens like the blue flower gardens of Naruto.

I am truly delighted that I liked this world.

When I realized I was here...

Four pairs of arms, no legs, floating in the universe. It was white, and a piece of glass was inserted into part of his cheeky face, from which he could see his eyes.

Those eyes seemed to be laughing.

That shows behind me. There was another door there.

I wave at it and open that door.

I don't need a key here, either. Touch it and it opens.

... Well, it was a long time ago, but the wall at the end of that world didn't really feel like I needed a key either. No, although it might be my fault.

At the end of the door, again, there was not much.

I just feel so nostalgic.

I feel like I'm being called in, and I run out.

Proceed one by one. Proceed everywhere.

It's to see you, to talk to you, to say, "Welcome home."

I mean, to go home.

I go everywhere.
