Monday after school.
While practicing Alchemy with Nina-chan in the empty classroom, the conversation naturally shifted to what we did over the weekend.
When I mentioned going to exorcise a monster at a middle school in the middle of the night, Nina-chan got curious, asking for more and more details. Eventually, the conversation reached the part about how people were turned into cubes, and she recoiled in shock.
"It's unbelievable how you can talk about that so casually, Itsuki."
"Well... it was pretty dark, so I didn't see much."
I shrugged, but deep down, I understood why Nina-chan was so put off. Honestly, if our roles were reversed, I'd probably have the same reaction.
Still, to me, the sight didn't seem real. Despite being in this world for six years, my previous life felt more significant. It's probably because, mentally, I haven't fully adjusted to this life yet.
