Clattanoia's POV

"Him? What do you mean by that?"

I don't know who she's talking about. She wants to escape from who? When I try to ask her about It, she won't answer. I don't know what's her problem.

"Clattanoia, you don't have to think about It too much. I just slipped that time."

Well... If she says so, I guess I shouldn't think about It for now. With that, I pushed that thought at the back of my mind, but not also forgetting It.

"Clattanoia, Clutter is here."

He's finally here! Finally, I can go home!

"Clattanoia, this world is your home..."

Well, technically, yeah, It is. But honestly speaking, I don't have that many memories from this place. Just bloody ones. That world felt more like a home to me more than anything.

I don't know If she read my mind that time but Paranoia never said anything, she wasn't even looking at me, that's fine, I guess? I tried to look at the direction her eyes are pointing at and a purple-colored portal can be seen.

Even though I've already seen It numerous times, I'm still amazed at how he uses magic without any mana. I still don't have any idea how he does It.

After a while, the figure of a tall man clothed with a robe appeared from It. The figure that I haven't seen in ages!

"I'm home, Clattanoia, Paranoia! Especially you, Clattanoia!"

His sparkling white eyes and coal-black hair, also a chiseled face that of course, comparable to mine. He's handsome, that's common sense! Of course, that's because... Clutter is my older brother! The oldest one, even!

+++++

"I haven't seen you in a long time, Clattanoia. How are you?"

He still hasn't changed! He's still so kind to me! In a world where everything is brutal and bloody, adding an annoying sister... A kind brother lifts my spirits up!

"She still has a brother complex, don't worry about her."

Paranoia! What do you mean brother complex?! I don't have anything of the sort! I glared at Paranoia saying some bullshit like that but she just stuck her tongue out, irritating me even further.

In front of what Paranoia said, Clutter chuckled a bit and seems to take what she said as a joke. Good thing he knows what's true and not.

"Anyway, let's go home now. I already sent the army to the kingdom, using another portal. The subjugation was a failure. We lost to a duel."

Good thing they lost and good thing I'm not there. I can't bear to see Clutter losing to a duel.

"Anyway, Clutter! I need your help!"

"Hmmm? What Is It?"

Wait, Clutter seems happy to see me. Will he get angry If I say that I want to live in that world? Will he get sad? I hesitated at my words, I don't know If I can say It to him.

"Clattanoia... Sometimes the things that we fear the most are the things that aren't even going to happen."

What the hell are you even getting philosophical about? But well... She's right, I should just give It a try.

"Clutter, can you please transport me and that house to the other world. Back to the same spot, you've come from."

"I'm fine with transporting a house but If you want to go to another world again, you still can't."

Huh? I can't go back? Why? I don't understand, please elaborate.

"I can see that you're confused. You see, you still have to go to His Majesty and report all the things you've seen in the other world. The very reason they even used magic on you is so you can forget the fact that you were sent so you can have an experience, unburdened by a mindset that It's a mission with high importance."

So that's the reason I don't remember anything when I arrived there. But I see, I just need to report the King. I haven't seen the King in ages. I guess he's an old geezer now.

"Then, should I send the house to the other world? I don't know why you want to send that weird-looking house but whatever you say."

"Of course! Please send that house immediately!"

With just one raise of his arm, the house that took almost all my mana to take here, disappeared like It didn't get there in the first place. Well, that's easy. Wait, why do I feel like I forgot something? Whatever, If I forgot It, It's probably not important.

"Anyway, Clattanoia. Do you want to go to His Majesty immediately? or should we get home and eat some dinner first."

It's been a while since I ate with Clutter so I guess I'll take up on his offer. I nodded my head for a bit and smiled quite awkwardly.

Don't worry, Hinata. I'll come home soon, just wait for me there!

Commander's POV

"Your Majesty, our subjugation of the other world has failed. It's due to my negligence"

I don't know why this kind of guy is our King but I can't deny that he's the one the prophecy was talking about. Sometimes, I'm skeptical and confused about him. Is he really the chosen king that is destined to unify the world into a single kingdom?

"Eh? Too bad, I want to read some Shonen Jump. That's the only regret I have in that world. Not being able to read Jump and all, you know?"

He's speaking words that are unknown to even our wisest wizards and advisors. Just what is this Shonen Jump?! Moe?! and even this anime?! No one understands a single thing this man is saying

"Oh well, I guess I'm kind of bored. The setting of this world is there are 4 continents here, right? I'm getting tired of waging war at Emberchain. I should set my eyes on other continents. Right? Commander Arnold?"

This guy... Chazuke Touya... A man who came from another world that is destined to unify the world into one continent. No one can understand how he thinks...
