response.Beween me and herTere were definiely special
eelings.Bu once I rerieve my los memories Wha would

Te maluncioning in elecronic devices caused by
Yggdrasil was he reason or he gridlock. Due o Yggdrasils
core ranserring ino ia, cars were able o move again.However, he power ouage had caused many accidens,
hence here were many congesed roads.However, here was somehing unexpeced when our
deouring brough us o he back o he research lab.
Wha happened here?Carrying he soundly sleeping ia on my back as I go
off he van, I looked a he barricade ape surrounding he
lab premises and exclaimed in surprise.
I can see smoke Don ell me heres a fire?Iris looked a he smoke billowing above he lab and
iled her head uneasily.Did an acciden happen during he power ouage?
Lisa rowned and wached across he barricade ape.
Saioned on guard around he aciliy were no policebu armed soldiers.
Tey are roops. In any case, le us firs ask wha
happened.Afer seeing he emblem worn by he soldiers, Misuki

Ill preend I didn see anyhing.
I quiely answered Kili.
Oh my, I can?Tis ime, well Is all hanks o your help.
Alhough Kili perorming modificaions on ia or hepurpose o deeaing Yggdrasil was definiely inhumane, i
was rue ha we could no have reurned sae and sound
had she no been here.Is ha so? Tanks. Goodbye, Yuu. Nex you nex ime. I
leave ia in your care.
Tanking in ligh one o voice, Kili swifly disem-barked.
Nearby, Ariella noiced Kilis movemens bu did noake any acion o sop her.

No helping i.
Ariella smiled wryly and wached Kili leave.OhMisuki and Sensei are back.
Hearing Firill, I looked in he labs direcion.Nex, I saw Misuki and Shinomiya-sensei coming, ac-
companied by Miyazawa Kenya, he labs direcor.
Mm.Ren leaned owards me and grabbed my sleeve all a
once. Miyazawa Kenya was Rens aher. I looked like Ren
sill had rouble acing him afer he direc conronaion.
Sure enough, she mus have complicaed eelings.aking a closer look, I noiced Miyazawa Kenya had a
cas on his arm. He was injured bu i was unknown wheh-er i had anyhing o do wih he labs siuaion.
Hi, I am relieved o see ha all o you are fine. Looks
like he operaion succeeded and Yggdrasil has been van-quished.
Smiling warmly, he looked like he was happy or our
sae reurn, bu or someone like me, who had caugh adeeper glimpse ino his labs research, would know i was
merely social pleasanries.Yeah, well I guess is a success.

We looked a one anoher and I answered ambiguously.
Yggdrasil was no desroyed. Insead, is core was now
under ias conrolWe had no inenion o reporing hissiuaion o him. Oherwise, ia would mos likely end up
as his newes research subjec.A leas beore reurning o Midgard, we mus keep his
a secre and no le anyone ohers know.
We had already obained Shinomiya-senseis consenduring our rip back on he van. Prioriizing he saey and
human righ o Ds was Midgards policy.
Is such a shame ha all observaion equipmen could
no be used, prevening me rom waching your batle.Please be as deailed as possible in he repor submission.
Tanks.Miyazawa Kenya spoke o me like a researcher. Ren
sepped orward.
Puting ha aside, ha.Poining a he lab ha was now barred rom enry, Ren
asked.
Oh, righ I should explain he labs curren siuaionfirs. I mus have surprised you guys on your reurn, righ?

Your belongings have already been moved ou by saff, so

sion on her ace.
Even i you ask us o find a place o say, given he cur-
ren raffic chaos, accommodaions mus be ull every-where. Shinomiya-sensei, could we no reurn o Midgard

mah handling. Furhermore, aircraf are absoluely orbid-
den unil i is confirmed ha he abnormal elecromagneicinererence has vanished compleely. We will probably

Amids he ense amosphere, Miyazawa Kenya walked
over o he large hole on he side o he lab building and

Te hole was very deep, exending downwards in aslan. Te deep end could no be seen a all.
He knew ha his hole led o he ourh floor under-ground.
Te holes walls were abnormally smooh, as hough

Are you he one in charge here?Hmm? Indeed. And you are?
Miyazawa Kenya looked back and examined he man inron o him. A man wih a cold gaze was he firs impres-

where Mononobe grew up!Iris leaned owards he window and exclaimed in joy
while waching he surrounding scenery.For around our hours now, we were riding a large van
wih a member o Asgard saff as he driver.
Afer he long journey, he van drove ino an inlandmounain own in he cenral regionNanao Ciy.
Tis was apparenly Misukis and my homeown.
Afer raveling hrough a long unnel, an overarching
view o he enire own could be seen rom he windows.Being sandwiched beween wo grea mounains could be
considered a kind o characerisic.Alhough i was no exremely rural, Nanao could no
be described as one o hose modernized and developed re-
gional ciies.I was no differen rom hose owns we passed along

el nohing despie seeing my homeown righ beore myeyes.
Having los all memories beyond hree years ago, i waslike seeing his scenery or he firs ime. I was hoping some
nosalgia migh be evoked by he sigh, bu now i looked
like here were no such eelings.Once again, I realized how massively losing my memo-
ries would change me.
o hink ha he gap beween my pas and curren
selves would be his ar.Hey Mononobe-kun, which side is your home?
Firill looked ou he window and asked me. O all hegirls here, only she, Misuki and Ariella did no know abou
my memory loss.
Well, which side, lemme seeO course I could no possibly know. My only choice
was o avoid eye conac and answer ambiguously.
You orgo because is been oo long?I jumped upon hearing Ariellas joke.

I ried as hard as I could do o respond o Misuki asusual and brough up a quesion ha concerned me.
Tere is no problem wih space i we use my house aswell. However, here migh no be enough ingrediens or
dinner, so Moher hurried ou o shop.
My house?I oally did no undersand wha Misuki mean by ha
bu I could no ask her direcly.
o ge a grasp on my locaion, I looked seriously a he
scenery o he homeown I could no longer remember.Afer going down a slope, he van drove along he river.
Afer passing he arcade shopping sree, we were brougho he place where Misuki had indicaed earlier.
Te van made a U-urn and drove off afer dropping us

was moving.Wha is ha?
I resembled a wriggling mass o flowing silver.I was difficul o ariculae is appearance. Also, i
seemed o be sliding on he ground insead o walking.
Roughly he size o a human. Relaively elongaed in shape,i was dragging is lower body on he ground like an even-
ing gown.
In addiion, wha appeared o be silver hreads were ex-
ending rom he edge o he body. Te silver body wasprobably composed rom a mass o such silver hreads.
Furhermore, he silver hreads were suspending a re-srained girl in midair.
Ta girl, how did hings urn ou like his?
Kili remarked sardonically.Te girl capured by he silver hreads was precisely
whom Kili was looking orJeanne Horensia. Probably
unconscious, she did no appear o be moving. I was alsopossible she had died. Afer exchanging glances wih he
unidenified monser, Kili sighed deeply.

Hence, she reasured her bonds wih ohers even more. Sheseemed o recall his eeling in he pas.
Somehow i eels like he ime when I me Yuu hreeyears ago.
