Summoning at Random

"Yes, go ahead"

To the knocking noise of the door, Ling Ji stopped his hand, which was taking care of his gear, and called out.

At his urging - for some reason, vacating for a few seconds - the door was opened and there was a woman with thin purple hair.

"Mr. Orlaine?

"Good evening, Mr. Rage"

"Ah, yes. Good evening. What's wrong, at this hour?

"I need to talk to you for a second..."

"? Okay, don't you dare go in there."

Ling Ji invited her into the room as she leaned her neck against Oraine, who looked somewhere out of place.

Coming inside the dreaded room, she turns her gaze to Ling Ji's hand as she sits in a chair as recommended.

"Are you taking care of your gear?

"Yeah, I thought I wouldn't keep it full. Tomorrow... it's a showdown."

"Right."

Increased by Reiji's reinforcement, one line of Atlandam successfully attacked the lower levels, reaching to the front of the boss room on the thirtieth basement level.

If you knock on one door, you will advance your legs to where the boss will wait, where once you are back on the ground, to challenge you in full condition.

"I don't know if it's enough to have a full attitude, because that's who I'm dealing with."

"Even so, you might not be the enemy Mr. O'Rain knows, right?

"Indeed, the bosses of the ten or twenty tiers were different from those I know, and it is possible that the thirty tiers have changed.

But even if there are different enemies out there, there's no doubt they're equally powerful. "

"Right."

For some reason every boss I ever encountered had turned into a different opponent than before.

Due to this trend, it is likely that the thirty tier bosses have also changed.

From what I've heard about Oraine, it's probably more gratifying to have changed because the thirty tier bosses they've encountered before - Imperial Death, the Emperor of the Immortal - are powerful enemies who are no match for gathering as much force as they can think of.

But just because ten or twenty hierarchies changed like they did doesn't mean they're racked.

After all, I would never have gone over to have a full attitude.

Reiji, once again bearing in mind his readiness for the upcoming showdown, realized that he had not yet heard the matter of the woman in front of him.

"With that said, what was it that Mr. Orlaine wanted to talk about?

"Oh, uh..."

Remembering his original purpose in Ling Ji's inquiry, Oraine answered with a slight hesitation, still squeezing courage and looking him straight in the eye.

"Mr. Rage."

"Yes, sir"

Ling Ji, who was looked at head-on, accidentally corrects her posture in the serious eyes of a woman with thin purple hair.

"Wow, I am! The..."

But when she tries to talk it out, the momentum is lost in the first word.

Her face is also dyed bright red because of shame and excitement.

Ling Ji tilted his neck unexpectedly at the look of it.

To his appearance with a question mark, the woman told the thought as if to scream halfway with haste.

"I like you! Get married, please!

"No!?"

It was a confession where the momentum to get married and blow hesitation through socializing was too strong to soak up the procedures.

It solidifies in amazement, not even on the side where it was done.

I jumped out of my own mouth...... hey, to the words that came out, Oraine hurriedly corrected.

"Ah!? ma, wrong! I was trying to tell you to hang out, not get married!

No, well, marriage is never stingy either. I mean, you're most welcome... so what do I "

"And please calm down."

Ling Ji began to forgive her to calm down, a little calmed by the figure of a woman brave enough to keep digging her grave in confusion.

He himself was confused by a sudden proposal, but it would be typical of that, that people become calmer when they have someone panicking in front of them more than they do.

Listening to Ling Ji's words, Oraine takes a big, deep breath with her hands on her thin chest.

Eventually I opened my mouth with a bitter smile as I regained my calm. Your face is still red.

"Shh, excuse me. Disturbed."

"No, I'm glad you're calm. So just now..."

Ling Ji's steaming back on the subject makes Aurain nervous again despite calming down the corner.

I set my posture right on the chair and waited for the words to continue as I held my hand over my thigh.

Looking at her like that, Ling Ji asks herself in herself.

Given his circumstances, the answer cannot be anything but NO, because it is intended to return to the original world.

But that's something even she knows. On top of that, I dared to visit to share my thoughts thus.

I'm sure that's an indication of the desire not to regret it before the farewell to come.

Then he thought that the difference in the world and where we should go home should be laid aside once and answered purely by thinking about what he thought of her.

That's how I came to the conclusion...

"Excuse me, I can't go out with you."

"!? Really? It doesn't mean you don't like me, does it?

"Absolutely."

"So is it because Mr. Rage is going back to the original world?

"... No, I skipped that and thought.

Of course, I like Mr. Orlaine.

As a friend, as a companion, as a mentor who taught me magic,

I was counting on you and I felt like I was admiring you.

I was an only child, but if I had a sister, I would have felt like you.

But I don't think this is what Mr. Orlaine thinks of me. "

………………

I would like to face difficulties with you as a companion or as a mentor.

But that's something different from romantic feelings as a man and a woman.

Of course, she prefers herself without the party members.

But who wants him next door...

"Ha, I'm shaken"

"Excuse me."

"Don't apologize. Besides, I knew it was thin from the start.

Still, I thought I'd regret not sharing my thoughts here, so I shook up the courage. "

"Thank you"

"No, it's me who appreciates it.

I'm glad you sincerely shared your feelings, not because you're going back to the original world.

Now tomorrow, you're going to be able to fight without leaving any strays behind. "

"Mr. Orlaine......"

"Be sure to win. Win and complete the trials."

"Yes!"

Seeing Oraine make a declaration with a bright look, Ling Ji also snorted a few words swallowing all sorts of complex thoughts.

Oraine looks back and turns to him as he tries to quit the standing room.

"Yes, Mr. Rage."

"What is it?

"Forgive me for this."

"Huh? Huh!?"

Soft objects gently touched Ling Ji's lips when she was stuck by surprise.

She whispers in his ear, stunned by the feeling and the beautiful face that closed her eyes.

"I know who's in your mind.

Needless to say, you answered my confession with sincerity.

I would advise you to put aside circumstances such as going back to the original world and tell them how you feel.

'Cause if you don't, you'll probably regret it. "

"It's..."

"Goodnight, then."

That's all I told him, Oraine opened the retrospective door and went outside without waiting for his reply.

Don't let him see the tears that flow.

◆ ◆ ◆

"Yes, who is it?

Whose voice returns from inside the room to the sound of the knock Ling Ji made.

Oddly enough, it's a schematic like when Orlaine visited his room earlier, but this time it was himself who asked for the room.

"It's me, but are you okay to come in?

"Les, mr. Rage!? Yes, please"

Permission to enter was given in a slight panic as to whether he was a different person than expected.

Leaning his neck about it, Ling Ji opens the door to the room and enters.

In the same interstitial room he was staying in, there was a blonde girl with a feather on her jacket from the top of a sleeping roll.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Were you trying to sleep?

"No, I wasn't going to sleep yet, so I'm fine. I'm sorry, dressed like this"

"No, I'm sorry I came here at this hour."

Though they are woven from above, they are just a little defenseless to show in front of the opposite sex.

It is not that the exposure is otherwise high, but it is the appearance of sleeping rolls that is reminiscent of the appearance that there is nothing to show other than the minded opponent of bedtime.

You realize that again, Tena tries to hide it as much as possible by trying to pull a feathered jacket from the top.

But the shameful trick itself also brews a color specific to a heterosexually-aware girl and becomes counterproductive.

Ling Ji, who became somewhat awkward, asked that he was concerned to get off topic.

"With that said, is Miliers not here?

This is the time... "

"Is that Mr. Miliers?

Earlier, Mr. O'Raine took me to visit and say that we had something to talk about.

He said he wouldn't mind sleeping first because he might reveal the night in Mr. O'Raine's room. "

"Oh, well."

At this time I thought of why Oraine had taken Miliers, and Ling Ji had no choice but to apologize and thank him.

In fact, it was necessary to temporarily leave the room if Miliers was present on this occasion, or take Tena to Ling Ji's room to do something with a high hurdle.

"So, Mr. Rage. What happened at this hour?

"Ah, oh. Uh, I really need to talk to Tena..."

"? Yes"

Ling Ji tries to speak to Tena, who waits with a decent look, but no words come out inside.

I get behaved suspiciously just like Oraine showed me in front of him, and I get my neck tilted more and more by the girl in front of me.

At the end of the day, however, I shook up my courage and confessed - although I had some momentum - to imitate it to a woman, and Ling Ji also showed courage.

"Tena, I like you"

"─ ─ ─ Huh!?"

"I was thrown into this world, and I didn't know why, and I ran away.

I fell in love with you when I met you. [M]

Is this what you call love at first sight "

………………

"I need your help afterwards, and I need you to travel with me.

The desire to be with you and the desire to protect you inspired me. "

………………

"I found out again when I got back to this city and had a chance to calm down and talk.

He said I like you. "

Tena, who had listened silently to Ling Ji's confession, eventually opened her mouth.

"Mr. Rage, may I ask you one thing?

"Oh, don't say one thing, ask me anything"

"Mr. Rage was going back to the original world, wasn't he?

Is that still the same now?

For Ling Ji, that was a question I expected to be asked.

Of course, it's not like you can't lie.

If I told you honestly, that would be an obstacle in communicating my thoughts.

But he couldn't be good at being deluded on this occasion.

"Oh, it doesn't change.

I'm still going back to my old world. "

"And yet why did you tell me you liked me?

Even if they tell you that, you'll be gone soon... "

It's like a word you're blaming, but if you look Tena in the eye, you can see it's not.

Glimpses from her red eyes were confusion, anxiety, and slight expectations.

"I thought so at first, too.

So I was thinking of leaving this world without saying anything.

But someone advised me to reconsider.

Even if I were to leave this world tomorrow, it wouldn't be a reason to deny the feelings I have right now.

And I thought if I hadn't told you my thoughts on being gone, you'd regret it. "

"Really?"

"I know you're saying something unsolicited.

Still, I need you to let me know Tena's answer.

Because if it's not now, I might lose my chance to hear it... "

"It's cheating, is it?

It's selfish, it's awful, it's cruel. "

"Oh, I know everything. Sorry."

Ling Ji had no choice but to nod mysteriously at Tena, who whispered a foolish dissatisfaction sometime in tears.

Communicate your thoughts even though your breakup is waiting for you immediately, which means that even if your thoughts fit together, your breakup will come soon. Tena's right, it would be cruel.

But still, Ling Ji couldn't choose to stay away from this thought while hiding it.

I understand his thoughts like that, and Tena speaks the thoughts too.

"At the corner, I thought I'd not tell you not to be the burden of Ling Ji returning to the original world.

Aren't they all ruined? "

"Huh!? That's..."

"Yes, I like Mr. Rage, too.

At first, I just wanted to help because Mr. Rage was in trouble with a situation similar to that of Mr. Henri somewhere.

Still, we're serious and hard at work on our journey together, sometimes unscrupulous.

At the end of the day, I became fond of you for bravely doing all sorts of things.

But... "

"But?"

Ling Ji floats with joy for a moment when Tena tells me she likes me, but I stopped at the words of denial that followed and asked terribly.

"I like Mr. Rage, but the most important thing I have is Master Henri.

My life and my life were all given to him.

To repay that favour, I intend to spend the rest of my life as Henri's squire.

So I can't go to Mr. Rage's world with him.

Still... "

"Still, I don't mind.

Just like I said first. I wanted to share my thoughts even though I was waiting for my immediate breakup. "

And Ling Ji sighed and spoke with a serious look, facing Tena straight again.

"Sure, I'm going back to the original world, but I'm not going to break up with the tenors for the rest of my life.

Will definitely come back to this world again "

"Huh? Well, how is that?

"No, I haven't found a way yet, but I'm here at least once, so there's nothing I can't do.

Plus, if you multiply it with the evil god of being able to return to the other world, you might be able to move the two worlds. "

"Are you serious?

"Oh, I promise"

To Ling Ji's words without a clap, confused tena.

But I guess I was willing to believe that at least I meant it to look like Ling Ji, who nods confidently.

I smiled somewhere happy, bewildered.

"Okay, I believe you."

"Oh, thank you"

"So this is a testament to our promise"

"Huh?"

The little girl raised her heels and clawed ahead, leaning her own lips against his mouth from the bottom.

Ling Ji was surprised for a moment, but as soon as she returned to me, she held the luxurious shoulder of the girl in front of her and put her lips together herself.

In a room at night where only the moonlight and the little lamp illuminate, the two shadows become one.

For a few minutes, Ling Ji and Tena, who were lip-facing each other, eventually took their faces off either side.

"Next, if Mr. Rage returns to this world as promised,"

"Whoa! Okay, I'll be back anyway."

"Phew, I'll wait"

Ling Ji renewed her determination to grasp the future, even though she was fascinated by the smile of the little devil tone that seemed unsuitable and cared about her, dyeing her face red.
