-When I  exited the tunnel, what was waiting for me on the other side was

In a corner of the street was a giant monitor showing the image of two men shaking hands as countless cameras flashed.

They were none other than the prime minister of the country and the president of the world called Garesto.

The people passing by continued to walk toward their respective destinations, not sparing a single glance.

This was a common sight and everyone was all too familiar with it. Or at least everyone, except for a lone boy who caught himself gasping.

He had an odd helpless aura about him; almost like that of a child who didnt know the town and lost his way.

He shook his head in his mind, as if telling himself, Thats impossible, but it was also true that he didnt recognize the town.

The people passing by carried with them tablets he had never before seen.

The buildings were shaped oddly.

The fashion the people followed was different.

Mannequins were lined up behind store windows, but they were not dressed in dresses or shirts, but in strange armors.

People who looked like members of the JSDF even nonchalantly walked around as if it was perfectly normal.

And to top it all off, what was once a sea of raven and chestnut-colored hair, was now mixed with seemingly natural blondes.

And yet the people passing by went about their way as if all this was perfectly normal.

This was a town he used to frequent a lot, and yet now, here he was, unable to recognize it.

Shinichi, what are you doing? Im going to leave you behind!

When that cheerful voice called out to him from behind, for a moment, the boy truly thought his heart would stop.

It was not because she suddenly called out to him, but because she didnt realize how close she was being.

Realizing how rattled he was, his breath started to choke.The sourc𝗲 of this content no/v(𝒆l)bi((n))

!? Ah, y-yes. Sorry, Ms. Rinko.

The young woman whom hed just recently met smiled at him.

The boy didnt know why, but for some reason he caught himself wanting to cry.

He didnt want to cry, so he immediately hardened his face, and lowered his head.

The resulting expression gave the woman the impression of a dissatisfied yet complex face. But without dwelling too much on it, she immediately pulled his hand.

Come on! The two of them are waiting! Lets go!

Ah, I can walk by myself, you dont need to hold my hand!

Dont be shy! Dont be shy!

The reason were going out is to buy stuff for you after all. Lets go buy some clothes first.

To tell you the truth, its always been my dream to pick out clothest for a young man!

Seeing her truly smile from the bottom of her heart as she accompanied him, he couldnt help but wryly smile.

Good grief, he thought. Shes a bit forceful, but shes really nice.

Thats why I shouldnt have gone home
