―Otherworlders.

I would be lying if I said that I was not concerned about their existence.

In “The Right to Ask,” it was clearly stated that this world was a new world where two worlds were fused together, and there were also zombies that looked like humans. The ruins underneath the city hall were also something that were clearly made by human hands.

That is why I thought that it was quite possible that there were humans in the world where the monsters were.

But I didn’t expect them to appear so suddenly.

He was dressed in a white robe with a curved staff that was similar to the ones the sorcerers in a fantasy world carried.

Her silver hair, red eyes, and ungodly mesmerizing looks could only be described as “otherworldly”.

When she suddenly appeared without warning, I couldn’t hide my agitation.

“What’s wrong? Why are you staring at me like that?”

“……!”

Her intense gaze made me back away unconsciously.

It was as if my instincts were telling me to be careful of her, even though I felt neither hostility nor any killing intent from her.

She giggled at my reaction and said,

“Don’t be so cautious. It’s not like I’m going to eat you.”

She slowly stood up and walked towards me without any care.

At that moment, the shadow under my feet widened, revealing Momo and Kiki.

“Wau! Grrrr!”

“Ki–!”

“…hm? What? What? What is this?”

Shiro, who was sleeping on the hood, also woke up.

“Oh, my. What a cute dog. I’ve never seen this breed of dog before, but I’m surprised there are such cute ones in this world. There’s also a carbuncle, a white dragon, and…. They are not rare but I’ve never seen one alive before. You have good companions.”

She looked at Momo and others with great curiosity.

She leaned forward and beckoned us to come forward. 

But it only made us more wary of her. 

“Mmm…. you could at least let me pet you a little.”

She sounded extremely disappointed.

Does she like fluffy things?

[T/N: Fluffy in japanese is mofu mofu and it is fun saying that out loud]

I feel a little sorry for her.

Huh? Could it be that she’s a good person?

“……kyuun.”

“Kyu….”

“……”

“?”

Momo and the others stared at me as if I was an idiot.

Sorry, I was just kidding.

“I, I have always been hated by animals…… Even though I love animals so much……”

“Oh, oh is that so?”

“Aaahh fine. I will let you pet them later.”

I am determined to pet them…

“I need to talk to you about a lot of things, but first, let me confirm one thing.”

“Confirm……?”

“Yes. Are you in possession of [Precocious]? Or [Resonance]? Or is it [Detection] or [Synthesis]?”

“Eh…?!”

How does she know about [Precocious]? 

And she even knows about [resonance] that Momo has …

“……That look is good enough for me. You have it. That’s good.”

“Huh……”

“You look like you’re wondering how I know about it. Of course I do. I’m the one who created those four skills.”

“Wha–?”

I was stunned.

She created the skills?

What the hell is she talking about?

“I had a hard time intervening in a way that they wouldn’t notice I did everything I could to help the people here survive, even if it was just a little…… It looks like my hard work has paid off, seeing as how you and this place are now.”

“What….. What are you talking about ……?”

“I’ll explain everything, including that. Hey, do you have any other friends? If there are, you can call them over and we can continue talking about this somewhere with a more peaceful environment.”

At that moment. 

Gush! 

And then a huge mass of wind shot towards her from the sky.

“Hm?”

With a snap, she blocked it with one of her arms.

Then she looked up to the sky.

“…..dragon?”

In the sky, Sora was flying above her. 

She glared at the woman in front of her intimidatingly.

“What are you? You’re not just a normal human, are you?”

“Those blue scales …… and that claw strike….. earlier… could you be–”

“Answer the question!”

Sora launched her claw strike again.

The power was even greater than before.

But the woman in front of me raised the staff in her hand and easily repelled Sora’s attack.

(What the heck was that……? Just before she was about to get hit, the wand seemed to glow for a second……)

It is definitely some kind of skill.

Plus, it has the ability to easily repel Sora’s attacks.

“Kazuto! I will not let you get away with this!”

“Huh? No, wait a min–”

Before I could say anything, Sora fired a series of claw shots.

But all of them were repelled and failed to reach the mysterious woman in front of me.

She sighs and said,

“I’ll answer your questions, but for now, can you please stop attacking? If I didn’t disperse the power, it would have destroyed not only the rooftop, but also all the people inside the building. Do you know what that means?”

“Nn….”

“You don’t know what you’re doing. This is exactly why dragons are ……. Well, whatever. I’m Rebel. The current [King of Death], Rebel Lebenherz. And you’re the Dragon King’s keeper, right? It matches with the description I have.”

“What in the…?”

At those words, Sora seemed somewhat surprised.

“Could it be… You’re the one my husband was talking to ….. You have come to this world too.”

“I don’t know how he said it, but I don’t mean any harm. Will you listen to me?”

“……”

Sora blinked her eyes as if thinking about something for a moment, and then landed behind us.

It seems they’ve settled their differences.

Well…… I guess I’ll contact Ichinose and the others for now.

And so, we changed the location to the conference room in the building. 

Apart from me, Mr. Ichinose, Mr. Nishino, Rokka-chan, Mayor Uesugi, Mr. Fujita, Chief Shimizu, and Mr. Towada were all present.

The Self-Defense Force members were standing by the wall. Sora is standing just outside the window, and Mr. Ohno is on stand-by in Mr. Nishino’s shadow. They were all ready to move if anything happened. 

We’ve already introduced ourselves to each other, and while everyone looked nervous, she – Miss Rebel – was looking at the coffee on the table with interest.

“Hey, this is coffeee, isn’t it? The color and the aroma is quite nice, isn’t it?”

“Coffeee? Do you mean coffee?”

“Coffee…. that’s how you pronounce it in this world. I see. I’ll take it.”

It seems that the world she was in had a similar drink.

The way she drank the coffee, taking in the aroma and sipping it slowly, it was very elegant and graceful.

She let out a satisfied sigh.

It was only for an, but it seemed to suit her taste.

After taking a sip from his cup and placing it on the table, Mayor Uesugi opened his mouth.

“So…. Miss Rebel Lebenherz.”

“Rebel is fine.”

“I see. Well then, Miss Rebel. You called yourself an ‘otherworlder’, is that correct?”

“Yes. But don’t ask me for proof. It’s like asking how you can prove that you are from this world. Let’s save each other the trouble of going through such unnecessary things.”

“Hmm…. fine, we will do that. We will proceed under the assumption that you are from another world. Is that correct?”

“I appreciate your quick understanding.”

Everyone was immediately agitated when the mayor agreed with her so easily.

Chief Shimizu, who was sitting next to him, involuntarily approached the mayor.

“Mayor, are you sure?”

“I don’t mind. The important thing is not who she is, but what she is doing here. Isn’t that right?”

“…..I understand.”

As always, I am surprised by the Mayor’s ability to grasp a situation quickly. 

“That’s good. I like people who know what they’re talking about.”

“I’m flattered by your praise.”

“Now let’s get down to business. But first, I would like to ask you how much do you know about this world that we live in today?”

Then Miss Rebel looked at me.

“The name of this world is the Chaos Frontier. Your world and my world have fused together and the result is the world we are in right now. Did you know this?”

“Oh, yeah,…….”

I nodded.

“Then why did these two worlds merge together? Do you know why?”

“…… No.”

“I see. Then I guess we should start from there. I’ll tell you. I’ll tell you why the world is the way it is. The current state of this world. –And the existence of the ‘enemy’ you will be fighting from now on.”

Then she began to tell us.

The truth about this world which was too cruel for us.
