"Did you hit your head or something?"
It was the reaction he got when Ryuga Hideyoshi said he was searching for a way to go back to Japan to the bartender.
"W-What do you mean?"
"I mean Japan is no longer there."She said with a grumpy voice.
"What do you mean Japan is no longer there? I was there just yesterday."
"Yesterday? Even if you say that you ain't fooling nobody. Everyone knows that Japan disappeared two years ago."
"Two years ago?"The words came as rather shock to Ryuga, "What is the current date?"
With a swift voice bartender replied, "November 11, 2021"
Listening her answer he became more surprised but he didn't show any surprise in his face and tried to access the situation calmly.
'November 11,2021...exactly two years has passed since the time I slept in 2019 November 11. Does it mean I slept for two years? No, no one can sleep for two years and walk as he walked yesterday. It's more than that. Did I travel in time? No, It's not possible. How can it be?'
A mug full of ale hit his back when Ryuga was pondering.
"Chug this baby down and cool your head."
He Shoved the mug away.
"And who are you?"
Ricca jumped in the conversation. "Sorry officer he is new around here. So he doesn't know you."
"Haha don't worry about it. I know that cause I kinda overheard your conversation."
"He is the peace officer who is incharge of keeping peace around this area. Because of Mr.Park the crime rate around has dropped significantly."
'This fatso a peace officer? Nowadays, everyone can become a officer I guess.'
The officer talked after glancing at Ryuga's face, "Judging by the expression on your face you are thinking that how's this fatty a peace officer aren't you? Well it doesn't matter everyone say the same thing when they realize I am an officer."
'Not only is he an officer but can this fatty read persons mind too? I shouldn't make it too obvious about what I think about him.'
"No, I don't think like that. I mean you are an officer who is responsible for the life of thousands of people so how can I think something like that about a great person like you."
"Flattery won't get you anywhere if you are dealing with me."
"Haha "
Suddenly Mr.Park's face became serious,
"Kid believe it or not Japan is no longer there and other countries have merged except for few. If you don't believe me you can ask anyone in this city."
The surrounding air soon filled with the music and the sound of drums shook the floor.
"The parade has started. Kid, come with me."
Mr.Park took Ryuga outside the bar. There was a parade right outside the bar where a group of 20 were marching in line. Mr.Park waved his hand at one of them who was wearing a fancy costume and had a silver badge attached to his shirt pocket. The man left the parade and acame towards Mr.Park.
"What can I help you with Mr.Park?"
"This kid says he is form Japan and he wants to go there."
"You shouldn't trouble me with such simple problems."
Chris took pen and a piece of paper out of his pocket and scribbled something in the paper and handed it to Ryuga.
"Kid go to the address I gave you and you'll find the way to go back to Japan."
Mr.Park who saw the address desperately tried to hold his laughter and Chris again joined the parade. Ryuga who got the address Greeted Mr.Park And bid farewell to Ricca and went towards the location the address mentioned.
'Hmm...they said Japan is no longer there but that guy handed me the address which will help me get there then does it mean the bartender and the peace officer were lying all along or was it the man from parade who lied to me. Well it doesn't matter if I get to go to Japan...Ah, Doraemon . I miss it.'
He reached the location the paper mentioned and when he read the signboard the anger started rising which was overlapped by the smile in his face. The large building seemed a good place but the signboard said it otherwise.
