In a Different World with a Smartphone Chapter 452 Travel departure, and hometown.

Chapter 452 Travel departure, and hometown.

Naturally, everyone in the castle looks at my childish appearance. They wondered if I used [Mirage] or something to change my appearance. But why a child? That was probably what they thought. I didn’t have a choice.
After all, the reason for this was because I was basically deceived. I can't say that I became a child completely willingly.
"I wish the World God transformed me after we left …"
I got smaller, so I changed into the children's nightwear I bought at Zanac’s while everyone was shopping. The appearance of myself in the mirror in the bedroom made me feel a bit uncomfortable.
"However, we can’t prepare you a change of clothes right before departure. I think that was taken into consideration."
"Ayai!?"
Yae picked me up again. I should be a bit heavier since I’m at least in the elementary grade level, … But if it's Yae, it doesn't matter because she’ll still be able to lift me.
However, if I'm lifted up lightly, I feel sad as a man. No, I can't help it because I'm a child.
"But you’re cute. This will be practice for when my child is born. (Note: Originally said “son” not child. I don’t know who’s talking, so I can’t say “son” , because there will only be one of him, not nine.)
"… At Zanac-san’s, you even dressed me up as a woman, you guys."
"I wanted to see not only my son’s but also my daughter's version. I had no intention of embarrassing you."
That's why … I stare at Sakura who is staring right back. I feel like I've lost something important …
"By the way, what do we do with Leen’s wings? You can't hide them unless you use [Invisible], right? There's no such thing as a fairy tribe in Touya-san’s world, right?"
Elze, who was combing her hair on a huge bed, questioned Leen, who was unraveling her twin-tailed hair. Oh yeah, that's right.
"No problem. These wings reflect a specific pigment in response to the concentration of mana … Well, if there is no mana in the air, you can't see them clearly, so if the world’s mana is so thin that you can't even use magic, maybe it will be okay. And when it comes to it, I can just pull them towards my body and I can hide them under my clothes."
Leen answers while bending the wings on her back towards her body. I thought about having the World God hiding them, but apparently that’s not necessary.
"Are Sakura-chan's horns okay?"
Linze asks the same type of question while looking at Sakura.
"If I shorten them, they hide inside of my hair, and they only use magical power when stretching and shrinking, so it's okay, I affirm."
I see. Then is it okay if you keep shrinking them? The horns of Sakura’s are "King’s Horns". They seem to be a part of her, similar to nails on humans, but can be lengthened and shortened freely by using low amounts of magical power or large amounts. Are they hardened substances like the horns of animals? It seems that the vampires can also have their fangs contracted and extended by will to an extent, but is it the same as that?
Also, since Sakura is a demon, she has two little pointed ears, but I think that they are okay. Even if asked, she could just answer "It's fashion", which is a plausible excuse.
"Nyhaa~~ But Touya-kun’s world is amazing. Even at night, it shines like a star."
Su muttered while watching the image of Earth projected from my smartphone into the air in the bedroom. The night view of Tokyo emerges in front of Su.
It's not that big of a city where we will go.
"Various Ether vehicles are running everywhere. "
"So the Ether vehicles advance on blue, go slow on yellow, and stop completely on red."
Lu and Yumina were reconfirming the rules there that they had been taught in advance. Rather than explaining what they don't understand while on Earth, we decided that it's better to show them in advance and let them study to some extent because there are such tools available.
If I use the memory transfer magic [Recall], I can share some of my knowledge. Yae and the others watched an example of a TV and said, "Oh, a magical box!” I don’t need to have them be people who are looking as if they came from the past. If they know about things in advance, it will be easier for them to accept them as such. There are similar artifacts in this world as well.
Well, I've been showing the girls movies, so that they wouldn't be surprised when seeing a TV.
"But I'm a little worried that I am not allowed to wield a sword over there. Fighting without weapons …"
"Yes. I won’t even be able to use one weapon. I have to deal with things only by using physical techniques. "
Hilda frowned a little and muttered, and Yae nodded.
There’s nothing wrong with having no weapons. First of all, there won’t really be a situation where you have to fight, and even then you wouldn’t need any weapons to fight against incoming attackers from Earth. Even if they have a knife, you girls will win.
I don't know if they are aware of it, but the nine of them are clearly really strong. Even if they don't use magic, they can compete with really strong men. Even Su, who is probably the weakest, won against a few strong adventurers.
The people from the combative group made up of Yae, Hilda, Elze and Lu are routinely trained by the wizard rearguard group which comprises Yumina, Linze, Leen and Sakura, as well as Moroha-nee and Takeru-ojisan. Su and Sakura are taught by Lapis and Tsubaki on how to do covert things.
On top of that, there are also the God’s Love effects from the gods around them . The men over on Earth wouldn't be an opponent either, just like in this world. On the contrary, it seems that you should be worried that you will hurt the enemies too much.
Well, I will just pray that there is no such trouble.
"We need to wake up early tomorrow, so let’s sleep early."
Yumina pats the pillow. Until now, even though they said we could sleep together, I would only sleep on the sofa or on the edge of the bed, but since we are already married, everyone can sleep in the same futon…
Um, that … to be honest, I've become a kid, so I have no choice but to sleep with them today … I have a little grudge against the World God.
"Nyhaa~~ Touya-kun is sleeping besides me! I'll hold you tightly!"
"Ayai!?"
Su hugged me tightly from behind and dove straight into the bed.
"Muu. Sly, Su. Me too."
This time, Sakura hugged me from the other side and I got caught up in a sandwich. I wonder, this should be a very happy situation, but since I am a child, I am being crushed, and the pain comes first before the happiness.
"Mugugu …"
"Both of you are not thinking about Touya-sama. Touya-sama is suffering, right?"
Lu calmly pulled them apart. I was saved…… Su and Sakura had tight grips.
Sakura usually competes with Su like this, though, in terms of age, Sakura is older than Lu and Yumina.
"Are you okay, Touya-sama?"
"Oh, I’m okay. Thank you, Lu."
"No, I also want to go to bed early today."
"Eh?"
This time, I am hugged by Lu and fall to the bed just like I had a few moments ago. Huh!?? It's the same as with Su and Sakura!?
"Hey, Lu-sama! That’s sly!"
This time Yumina hugged from the other side. Taking advantage of the confusion, Su and Sakura also jump in again. I am suffering …!
"Nununu. Should we participate in this?"
"There’s also the choice to watch silently."
"What should we do, Nee-san?"
"Well, that's right. We're already his wives, so we don't need to hesitate …!"
"Yes, that's it. I know we’re all getting excited about the young Darling, but do you guys want to keep doing this every day until we come back from our trip? Let's decide who gets to be with him when, fairly by playing this."
With that said, Leen brought from the side table next to the bed a box of rectangular rectangular-prism-like blocks. She assembles them with a Tekipaki and completes a tower.
The tower has a total of 54 rectangular blocks, three in each of the vertical and horizontal directions.
It is a very popular party game in Japan, where the person who pulls out one of the lower tiers except the top tier, stacks it on top, and the one who makes the tower lose its balance is the loser.
That is a prototype that I gave to Olba-san, the owner of the Strand Company.
"I see, that's how we decide… isn't it interesting?"
"Does the person who makes it lose balance drop out?"
Elze and Linze nod a little. Everyone has experienced playing that game. I don't think there is a big difference in the ability of the girls on how they play.
"Nyhaa~~ OK! Let's get started!"
Su enthusiastically begins stretching her arms by spinning them in circles. Everyone else said, "It's getting interesting …!” I will not participate in the game. No, I think it's better to go to bed quickly without staying up late …
After several minutes later, Gashan! I feel like I heard the sound of building blocks collapsing, but I was left alone in bed, so I fell asleep as it was, so I don't know the result of the game and who won.
That night, I had a dream of being caught in a shoal of squids.
When I woke up in the middle of the night because of feeling too much suffocation, for some reason I was in a state where everyone was holding my limbs and I couldn't move. As expected, it was painful as it was, so I escaped with [Teleport].
I guess I found out the origin of where that dream came from …
I fell asleep for the second time, away from the bed where everyone slept, and used Kohaku, in her state of a tiger cub who had been sleeping comfortably on the sofa, as a pillow.
Thanks to that, I never had a nightmare of squid, but it seems that I had a dream of crushing Kohaku. Sorry.
"Are you ready?"
The World God calls out to us.
The place we are in is Babylon's [Garden]. In addition to my two god sisters and Suika, Professor Babylon, Cesca, Ende and Mel also came to see us off.
Ende was laughing the entire time when he saw me. You will have no souvenirs.
Yumina and the others have already changed into the clothes of modern-day Earth. No matter how you look at it, they look like ordinary girls. Of course, they also look extremely cute.
If it's just judging by their appearances, all but Yae and I look like foreigners. Well, I wonder if a person wouldn't call us out. There is no doubt that we will stand out anyway.
Some Japanese children (Yae and I) are guiding the foreign children who are coming to Japan for a vacation … I hope people will think that. Is it impossible?
By the way, we don't have any baggage other than our smartphones. If we use magic through our smartphones, we will get tired, but it seems that you can use [Storage], and all the necessary items are included in it. For example, everyone's change of clothes or the money received from the World God.
However, nothing that uses magical power will work even if put into [Storage] … For example, Frame Gear and Ether vehicles don't work even if I put them in it to take over to Earth.
I don't think Brunhild can be transformed into blade mode. I mean, if I was seen with such a thing, I would be caught.
"Then, I will send everyone to the other world. Touya-kun’s smartphone is a Sacred Treasure, so you can get in touch with me, and call me when you want to come back. I'll pick you up. "
"Understood."
"Well, have a fun trip."
As he said that, the World God raised his hand towards us and a flash of light ,as if something had exploded, struck my field of vision. Really bright!??
*Dazzle, dazzle* When I opened one of my eyes with a bit of fear, my field of vision gradually returned to normal.
It was no longer Babylon's [Garden], but a straight road in the woods.
"Have we arrived already?"
Kyoro, Kyoro and Linze look around. The road just stretched straight through the dense forest of trees. Emerald green sunbeams shone from the sky.
"Hey, is this really “Earth”? I can only see it as a regular forest from our world …"
"… No, This is definitely not our world. Look, look."
Leen turns her back to Elze, who twists her neck. Her little phosphorescent wings, which would normally be there, have disappeared. No, if you look closely, you can barely see the outline as if they were sloppy … No one would be able to see them if they weren’t trying to look for them.
"That means that this is “Earth”? … But where are we?"
I hear Yae's confused voice, but I'm the only one who can answer it.
Here …
"Oh, Touya-sama!?"
With Lu's voice from behind me, I start running. The road that stretched through the forest became narrower and steeper, and became an uphill slope.
At the top of the hill, I can see the nostalgic red roof and the weathercock.
Looking up at the building, I stop. Towering in front of me is a small old Western-style building made of bricks. It was said that this was built in the Taisho era.
Everyone who chased after me looks up at the Western-style building in the same way.
"This house is … maybe Touya-san’s house …?"
I shake my head a little at Linze’s words. This is not my home. My house is a few stations away by train from the town where this Western-style building is located. However, this house feels nostalgic almost like my parents' house. Because here …
"It's not my home. This is … the home where my grandpa lived."
I haven't come here since my grandpa died while I was in middle school, but it hasn't changed at all. I'm sure my mother manages it, but the garden is properly maintained … ……Strange.
Mother is grandpa's daughter. Although she is a picture book writer, she is a dynamic person. I don't think I'll take care of my house …
While I was thinking about those things, the smartphone in my pant pocket began to tremble. It was an incoming call from the World God.
"Hello?"
"Oh, it looks like you've arrived safely"
"Ah, yes. Why are we here?"
"I think you need a base to move there. I tried to make it possible to use water and electricity. Isn't that a place you know?”
No, that's right. I'm wondering if all the girls can stay at the hotel. It would be a hassle if we were notified as not having an adult to supervise.
"But can we use the house without permission?"
"It's only a few days, so it’s okay. Besides, you’re the past owner’s grandson… I don't think it's a problem. "
Really? I'm supposed to be dead here and we’re all kids.
I don't think most people will come here because it's a house in the mountains. My mother also said, "Isn’t it inconvenient to live in?” I guess it’s alright.
…… Yeah, let's just apologize when we visit my parents in dream form.
"Oh? The door is open? That’s weird."
While cutting the call from the World God, Su opens the front door. She didn’t even hesitate to open an unknown door …
While I was amazed by her, a pot and an old-fashioned key fell from the sky in a haze of light to my feet. Is this also a consideration of the World God?
Or rather, was it the World God who opened the lock to the door, or Mother forgot to lock it? If it were the latter, what if a suspicious person started living here … I wonder if the suspicious person is us.
I pick up the key while stopping those thoughts. We’re going to be nuisances for a few days, Grandpa.
