「Suu~ Suu~」

「Suu~ Suu~」

「Suu~ Suu~」

「Nyasu~n」

I hear everyone’s sleeper’s breath, but.

Uun.

U~n.

I can’t sleep!

I can’t sleep at all!

I couldn’t yesterday, and I can’t today.

I can’t sleep even after entering the futon.

I idle around without being able to sleep.

Supa

I get out of the futon and get down from the bed.

Tekoteko Tekoteko

I leave the room and get exposed to the night wind.

Zaza~ Zaza~

The night wind blows.

I look at the broken huge tree.

Really.

It’s a seriously huge tree.

To think a tree like that could be broken.

I’m still surprised.

While exposed to the night wind.

Pyonpyon

Pyonpyon

Ah.

It’s the pink rabbit.

It’s Usagi-san!

The one from yesterday.

He appeared again.

It seems that the yesterday’s event wasn’t a dream.

Pyonpyon

Pyonpyon

Usagi-san bounces on the spot.

His rabbit ears cutely shake as if inviting me.

Pyonpyon

Usagi-san is full of spirit.

He’s inviting me with unsteady movements.

Can’t be helped~

Should I follow him again?

Sutasuta Sutasuta

I follow Usagi-san.

Pyonpyon

Pyonpyon

Usagi-san jumps up and down.

When I dash after him.

Usagi-san’s pyonpyon speed increases.

Uuu…

I can’t get close.

After all, he keeps a fixed distance between us.

When I stop, Usagi-san also stops.

Uun.

It’s probably the same Usagi-san from yesterday.

Pyonpyon

Pyonpyon

We slowly advance with Usagi-san in the lead.

Along the way.

I find a stone.

Hiyoi Poi

I pick it up.

And throw it towards Usagi-san.

Sasa Bakon

Uoo!

Usagi-san smacks the stone back with his tail.

It nearly hit me.

Fuu~

So close, so close.

That was a close call.

Sa~fe!

Pyonpyon

Pyonpyon

I pull myself together.

While following Usagi-san.

We arrive at the tree hole again.

Uun.

Strange~

There shouldn’t be a hole in this place.

I follow Usagi-san in while thinking about it.

Pyonpyon

Then.

A space filled with fluffy mana lights.

Indeed… this is probably the same place as yesterday.

In addition, the huge tree is losing mana.

The lost mana may be right in front of my eyes.

Is the lost mana gathering in this mysterious space?

Pyonpyon

Pyonpyon

Oh.

We have arrived at the dome-shaped room.

The light is gathering in the middle of the room.

At the planetarium-like projector.

Gacha Gacha Gacha

With cog-wheel sounds, the room becomes dark.

Pyonpyon Doka

Usagi-san tackles the projector again.

Then…

Katakatakatakata

A projection is reflected on the ceiling.

It seems the projection continues from yesterday.

・Red soil and sand planet. A place similar to Mars.

・Cities under domes connected with tubes.

・People are living under the transparent lids.

・Mars’s surface gradually changes.

Lakes covered by tubes and domes start forming.

・A meteorite directly hits one of the domes.

・It seems that the dome was abandoned because of the serious damage it received.

・After that, domes and tubes were directly hit by meteorites several times.

・Then, something flies through the planet’s sky… Bako~n!

Something flies up and destroys the incoming meteorite.

While looking at the projection.

I start dozing off.

I became slightly sleepy.

I’m not good with science videos.

I become sleepy watching NHK programs late at night.

Karakarakarakara Katan

Butsun

Oh.

The projection disappears again.

The room becomes pitch black again.

Looks like it’s over for today?

Because lights returned immediately yesterday.

They will probably return again.

While keeping still…

Ban

See?

As expected, the light has returned.

Because it’s the second time this happened, I wasn’t surprised by it.

When I look around.

Ah.

It’s Usagi-san.

Pink Usagi-san is near.

It’s carrying the projector on its back.

As expected.

Usagi-san is putting away the projector.

Usagi-san stares at me.

His rabbit ears are bobbing.

His mouth is clapping, but.

I can’t hear what he’s saying.

Therefore.

I’m going to approach in order to hear it.

Pyokopyoko

Pyokopyoko

Usagi-san enters a wall and disappears.

He went straight into the wall.

Just like a ghost.

Together with the projector.

Eh?

Eeh!

The hell!?

I’m surprised.

I touch the wall Usagi-san disappeared through, but.

I can’t pass through.

It’s just a wall…

W, why…

What is happening?

I look around the wall for a while, but.

I’m not able to find anything.

Then, I thought.

I pour magic down my hands, but…

Are?

Strange.

As if the wall was covered with some kind of shield, I can’t feel around.

I can’t force my magic to flow to the huge tree.

S, something like this…

Never happened before.

Just what is happening in this place?

Peta Peta

I tried it several times, but…

This won’t do.

I didn’t succeed at all.

My magic can’t pass through.

Uun.

Why is it?

But.

I won’t understand even if I think about it.

Since I have been loitering around the dome room for a while.

I decided to return back.

In the overflowing mana’s light.

I walk towards outside.

Then.

I went out.

A feeling of freedom.

I stretch my body.

The night wind feels great~

Amazing!

While thinking such.

「Hee~ So you are~ this tree’s spirit, huh? I was looking for you~ Finally found you」

Eeh?

Come again?

A man laughs while looking at me.

A dangerous looking man carrying a sword.

Pachipachi, the sword occasionally sparks with lightning.

The man smiles at me.
