I Am the Only Totem in This World - Chapter 193



Episode 193. IF – If the Cathedral Was Fine (4)

Episode 193 IF – If the cathedral was fine (4)

I looked again at the pamphlet created by an unknown group called the Management Bureau.

It was to give a serious answer to Hannah’s question about where and what kind of work she wanted to do.

“…Mart. “I’m thinking of it as a large supermarket.”

“Mart? Is there a reason?”

Hannah showed curiosity.

It’s a reason. There is nothing that sings.

I’ve worked part-time at a convenience store once, so now I guess I’ll try playing in the big water.

“Just.”

I didn’t want to say it because it was embarrassing, so I answered appropriately and passed it on.

“Where are you planning to do it at the supermarket?”

“Of course it’s the one closest to the house. Comfortable commuting to work. Therefore… Around here?”

“…Shall we do this together?”

Hannah, who was looking at the supermarket I pointed out, asked carefully and continued.

“No, that. I don’t want to do anything… However, it’s a bit hard to kill time alone at home. And isn’t it better to do this together with returnee comrades?”

“Phew. “This is what a returnee comrade is saying.”

‘Returnee’ and ‘comrade’. I laughed out loud when I saw her spontaneously saying words that aren’t often used in modern society.

“What, did I say something wrong? And a returning comrade is better than a possessed comrade.”

“Don’t the people watching us hear it and show up right away?”

I said that while looking around.

Since I decided to live with all the memories of my time in this world, the management bureau would have placed surveillance on me. Since there are two returnees, there must be two surveillance agents.

“Are you going to show up? It’s not like we’re plotting anything.”

Hannah glared at me pitifully. As the innocent woman dyed her hair red, she looked very rebelious.

Ah-oh. I want to feed you some chestnuts.

“But shouldn’t we bring up things like ‘returnees’? There are other people here too.”

“Other people will listen and think they’re just talking about games. And if it showed up, it showed up earlier. There is no problem, so just stay still.”

“That’s right.”

Is it because he lived with the mindset of ‘taking everyone into consideration’ while pretending to be Loa Malak? It may have seemed to Hannah that she was worrying unnecessarily.

“Then we decided to go to the supermarket here. Would you like to go together tomorrow?”

Hannah tapped her pamphlet.

“Tomorrow?”

“Huh. You have to see it first and then decide. And if it’s okay, let’s do it starting next week.”

“Why next week?”

“I have to move to my own room.”

It’s a single room. Now that I think about it, she said that Hannah lives alone. She said that she quickly became independent because her relationship with her parents was not good.

Even when she returned to Earth from this world, she did not visit in person and only delivered news through text messages and phone calls.

“Hmm.”

Hannah… You must be very lonely. The reason he wanted to meet me and do things together was because he was lonely.

“Okay. “Let’s go tomorrow.”

I nodded. As Hannah said, we are comprades of returnees.

Although we don’t have a close relationship through blood like parents or siblings, I think we are just below that level. It is no exaggeration to call them sworn brothers, or even sworn siblings.

It would be my role as a ‘comrade of returnees’ to soothe Hannah ‘s loneliness

We continued chatting with Hannah, whose expression she noticeably brightened.

“Oh, my waist.”

I moved all the over-filled boxes of produce and straightened my waist.

Ah, why did I ask to work at a large supermarket? You idiot.

Large supermarkets basically have a high proportion of middle-aged women. Although men and women in their 20s are also selected, the probability of a man being selected is low.

What healthy men in their 20s chose against low odds, have to do at the supermarket. It was so obvious.

These are tough things that middle-aged women can’t do.

“It’s no different from hard work.”

I went through a bit of extra work, but it was several times more difficult than working part-time at a convenience store.

“Fu.”

Even my senior(?), Who came in three weeks before me, sighed deeply.

“It was hard.”

“You too.”

She said a courtesy word to him and sat down in her chair. She finished faster than expected, so she can rest for at least 10 minutes.

Ah, I have to do this again in a little while. I’m about to sigh.

If I had done it alone, I would have quit right away. She would have done that if she hadn’t come in with Hannah.

Hannah, who has a hard time getting along with people, is working hard as a guide and is doing a great job. What would be the point if I, who suggested that she go to the large supermarket first, quit because it was difficult?

There is no such thing as shame.

She spent some time moving things around, and today’s work is finished.

“Your girlfriend is waiting outside. Hurry up and go.”

The lady, who is the oldest and has good leadership skills and is commonly referred to as ‘King-sister’, looked at me and said, giggling.

“Really?”

I didn’t even bother to say no, so I just ignored it and left. When I said she wasn’t my girlfriend, she kept asking more persistently.

I see Hannah. She sticks her head out as if she was trying to see me coming, but when she sees me, she disappears.

“It’s me.”

I’ve seen it all, but I don’t know what they’re doing. It’s not even hide and seek.

“Hungry. Let’s go have dinner.”

Said Hannah, who was playing with her smart phone her calmly, pretending she wasn’t waiting for me.

“What are you going to eat?”

“There’s a Japanese restaurant over there. How about sukiyaki?”

“Sukiyaki? What is that again?”

What a unique name.

From noble mtl dot com

While I was in another world, Japanese food became popular. I’m just in trouble because I don’t know Japanese well.

“There is something similar to shabu-shabu. That… “

Hannah averted her gaze slightly, then hesitantly held out her hand. She is giving a signal to be caught.

“Shabu-shabu is good.”

I laughed and held his hand her her her her. It’s small and soft, and it looks like it hasn’t suffered at all.

It’s not wrong since the artificial body of a paladin in another world did the hard work.

“…Let’s go.”

Hannah took the lead, holding her hand.

Well, what Wang said earlier wasn’t entirely wrong. Even though I wasn’t her girlfriend, I had a relationship with her.

We spent a lot of time together, and I noticed it already.

Whenever I was talking to other female employees in their 20s, Hanna’s eyes changed in an unusual way.

Is it because we are comrades who have experienced a demonic apocalypse that not everyone can experience?

Somehow, this happened naturally. Even though we are still just holding hands.

It was when she entered the Japanese restaurant and waited for her food.

“Huh?”

After chatting with me, Hannah briefly checked her smartphone and let out a strange exclamation.

“Sans, look at this.”

She, who prefers to call her by her nickname rather than her her real name her her, held out her smartphone to me as if to look at it.

“What. Netkama.”

“Really search. “Call me Hannah.”

If I say it, it’s romance, if someone else says it, it’s an affair. He calls himself by his game nickname

“Oh, look at this quickly!”

At Hannah’s urging her, I checked her smartphone.

“Hmm?”

I was also taken aback by the unexpected content.

[‘Survival as a Paladin’ game fan meeting hosted by]

What is this?

“Look here.”

The host was confirmed by Hannah’s hand gesture

[Dina Silverstein]

Dina? Surely?

“This is Princess Dina, right?”

Hannah said with excitement.

“Well… “Maybe?”

I turned on my smartphone and checked the information.

Dina Silverstein. American woman in her mid-20s. Successor of the Silverstein Group.

The Silverstein Group is a private military company, and it is said to be one of the top ten private military companies.

He is the successor to a private military company… Should I say it’s a Dina-like background?

“Hey, look at this! I think she’s really Princess Dina?!”

Hannah found out that Dina Silverstein had not been seen for two years and showed it to me.

When they fit together so well, it’s hard to say no. Is Princess Dina trying to open something like a ‘Possessed Comrades’ Association?

“…Isn’t the management bureau taking action?”

I’m worried again for no reason.

“Oh, that’s it again? If I had come forward, I would have stopped it before the article was published. Sanz, you are too scared.”

“Write.”

You might think I’m scared, but there’s a reason.

Actually, I had a nightmare yesterday too. It is a dream that that bastard of Charon comes through her portal and devastates the Earth.

– Sanz! Loa’s jester! There is no paradise where you run away! The place we reach will also become a battlefield!

Like this, Charon started talking shit again and scared me, but her pattern changed a little.

– Wow!

This time, they attacked Hannah, not me.

– Watch helplessly as your woman dies! You’re a loser!

The zombie-turned Lakhe raised her meteor sword high and attempted to decapitate Hanna. Even though she thought it was a dream, she was so scared that she even started to urinate.

It’s a bonus to have been attacked on the back several times by a guy called Mom.

As I had this dream over and over again, I had this thought without realizing it.

‘Couldn’t the surviving Charon be making a mess of this world?’

‘Should I have just stayed in that world and rooted out Charon?’

It was just a regret, but it was hard to shake off.

If the real Charon is alive and attacks and destroys the Tribal Alliance… I would go crazy with despair and regret.

I’m not showing it off to Hannah right now, but if things continue like this, I’ll get tired too.

… Would it be possible to gain a sense of stability by attending a Possessed Fellows’ Association disguised as a game fan meeting and listening to the stories of many people?

“It’s happening in America next weekend! Let’s go together!”

Hannah, who didn’t know how I felt, just smiled.

“Good.”

I said with a smile too. I hope that meeting will give me peace of mind.
