Chapter 159 - Epilogue

We defeated the Dragonia aliens. Immediately after that mysterious space was dispersed, the streets immediately returned to the familiar streets as usual, and we hurried back into the house.

Fortunately, there weren't that many people near my house, so it didn't cause any commotion, but it would have been a surprise just to see someone suddenly appear, and anyone would have been surprised to see a person with a sword and another clearly dressed like a princess.

That's why we went back to my house before we created a ruckus… Everyone was looking around my house with curiosity.

So I decided to ask them questions one by one.

"U-um… why did you come to my house?"

"…Sorry, it was my fault."

"Eh? Kagurazaka-san's fault?"

Then, an unexpected person answered, and as my eyes widened, Kagurazaka-san told me somewhat awkwardly.

"Um… I told Lexia-san and the others that you live in the same world as me. So in the adventurer's guild, we heard about a love potion. So, when we went to the forest to look for the ingredients for the love potion, we happened to meet Iris-san and the others, who I also told that you were from the same world as mine. And then we all decided to go talk to you…"

"I-I see…"

It was true that if someone had asked Kagurazaka-san about me, they would have known at once that I was from a different world. It's not like I asked Kagurazaka-san to keep quiet about it, so it was probably just a matter of time before someone found out.

After I understood the reason why everyone was here, I touched on something in Kagurazaka-san's words that bothered me.

"Even so… Is there such a thing as a love potion…?"

"I was surprised, too. And it's for you──."

""Aaaaahhhh!""

"!?"

As soon as Kagurazaka-san was about to say something, Lexia-san and Iris-san covered Kagurazaka-san's mouth with unbelievable speed. W-what is it?

"Ma-Ma?! You can't say that!"

"T-that's right! As the Sword Saint… No, it will affect my reputation as the master!"

"B-but──."

"But there's nothing to say! It's not a problem. This is an order from a princess, okay?"

"I can't do that here! O-okay…"

The conversation seemed to be over, with Kagurazaka-san somewhat limp and Lexia-san smiling dryly.

"Um… What was that all about?"

"I-it's nothing! It has nothing to do with you, Yuuya-sama!"

"Huh…"

Is it really nothing to do with me? Kagurazaka-san, I thought she was about to say "You" for a moment…

However, looking at the two of them, they didn't seem to be able to answer, so I decided not to pursue the matter any further.

Then Iris-san changed the subject.

"…..Yuuya, you really are from this other world?"

"Eh? Ah, yes. That's right. I mean, I'm sorry for not telling you…"

"It doesn't matter! Until we heard about the saint and hero summoning in the country of Regal, we too thought that other worlds were something from fairy tales!"

(It's true. In fact, I was able to see the other world for a moment just now, but it was different from the world we know. It's just that, Yuuya. It seems to me that the fact that you are special is no different in this world…)

"I-is that so?"

"Yes. I've been looking around for signs of life, but none of them are as strong as yours."

Apparently, they were able to find out that much in just a few moments before entering the house. These two people are amazing…

Master Usagi had been looking around the house for a while when he suddenly stood up.

(Well… there are many questions I want to ask you, but for now, let's go back for today.)

"Eh?"

"Ara? You're leaving already?"

Iris-san was also looking at Master Usagi curiously, but Master Usagi frowned.

(What do you mean, you have nothing to do with it? You guys are going back too.)

""Eeh? W-why?""

At Master Usagi's words, Iris-san and Lexia-san raised their voices.

But Master Usagi's stance did not change.

(Is there anything else you can do about it? Looking at Yuuya's condition, at least he needs some rest. Can't you even understand that?)

"…Indeed, when we arrived, Yuuya was completely wounded…"

Luna also nodded to Master Usagi's words, and both Lexia-san and Iris-san were at a loss for words.

Master Usagi let out a sigh to the two, who were still somewhat dissatisfied.

(Hah… It's not like it's a goodbye. In any case, you're going to explain this, including what happened this time. Do you mind, Yuuya?)

"Y-yes. I'm fine with it."

(Right, that's it. Let's get back home.)

""Ugh… yes.""

Both Lexia-san and Iris-san reacted in the same way and went straight to the storage room where the door was.

As soon as I was about to follow them and see them off, Merl-san, who had been silently listening to the conversation, raised her voice.

(U-um…!)

"Merl-san?"

Unfortunately, Merl-san's words were only understood by me, but Master Usagi and the others all stopped as one of the people they were interested in spoke up.

Then Merl-san told us in a language that was not very clear to everyone.

(Our… our planet, please save us…!)

These words were not only for me but for everyone present.
