1-04: Rejection (3/4)

Shinichi-kun, are you sleepy?

Were almost done, so you can use the nap room if you want?

I-Im alright. It was morning when I left, so

By the time theyd finished most of the papers, it was already the next day, but Shinichi had gotten a lot of sleep because of the farce and he also left during the morning, so he wasnt sleepy at all.

They had to do it in the morning because it was easier to deceive people that way.

Oh, I see. So, theres that sort of time difference.

And in your case, I guess you couldnt really tell the time.

R-Right

What am I doing? Shinichi thought to himself as he gave that safe reply in a weak voice.Read latest chapters at novelhall.com Only

Although she would not even dream that theres actually another otherworld, she still came to the same conclusion that Shinichi did, that the reason there was a difference of six years since his disappearance was because of the time he spent traveling to and fro worlds.

Ah, you must be hungry. Sorry for not noticing.

The cafeteria isnt open yet, so lets go buy something from the convenience store.

She thought the reason he spoke so weakly was because he was hungry.

Shinichi tried to stop her, but she stopped him by saying, Its fine. You dont have to be reserved.

What the heck am I doing? Shinichi muttered to himself as he hung his head toward the desk of the waiting room.

There were a lot of things to think about, but right now, what he wanted to say the most was how pathetic he felt.

I couldnt ask her at all

About his dad, about his mom, about the divorce, the current situation of his siblings Nothing.

They were together the whole night, so there were countless opportunities for him to ask, and yet he couldnt ask her.

Yes, the man who attacked the demon king in front of the whole world a farce it may be was unable to ask a simple question.

Even she who followed him was so shocked that despite wanting to encourage him, her mouth was left hanging.

Meanwhile, she was rubbing her eyes several times, unable to believe what she was seeing. Was this really her master?

He wasnt the impolite sort who didnt know how to speak courteously, but it was her first time seeing him so nervous.

But Shinichi even failed to notice her reaction as he opened his food. And when he did, nostalgia hit him hard. Although he just opened the package according to the arrows, his movement was still without pause, and yet he hadnt touched one of these things in two years. For once, he actually felt like he was finally back. And that brought a smile to his face.

Ah

*BITE!?

The bread is so soft! The egg is so sweet!

Ah, yes, this is definitely how a sandwich should be. Yep!

Shinichi lost himself as he ate the egg sandwich.

Although hes eaten the same dish back in Falandia, the difference in ingredients roused his nostalgia and made his eyes water.

He never thought hed be brought to tears by a cheap mass-produced product bought from your local convenience store, but here he was unable to keep his tears from flowing.

You dont have to rush. We have plenty here, see? Which drink do you want?

Rinko didnt say anything despite his tears and instead offered him several plastic bottles.

When Shinichi saw the green bottle, the color of his eyes changed, and he took it with shaking hands.

This is Japanese Tea! Ahh, ahhhh, the nostalgia!!!

Kyuii?

Shinichi skillfully opened the lid and poured the contents into his throat.

As tears flowed down his eyes while he drank, Rinko gently watched over him.

As someone who worked here, she has long gotten used to seeing returnees be emotionally affected by food. And although it was a misunderstanding, when she thought about what kind of environment he was in, she couldnt help but also want to cry.

Meanwhile, she was about to have her jaw dislocated with how wide her mouth was gaping. There were indeed times when Shinichi was elated to eat something after not having eaten anything decently during their travels, but actually seeing him cry over food was a first.

Tl Note: Umm Could I get those TL archives someone mentioned they had before? Maybe I could just edit them and credit the old tls, so we can skip this whole thing because were actually only half-way through this chapter. Yeah, sorry for the turtle pace.
