An unidentified woman who met me under Sazh Katzroy, in the piece of paper delivered from her, only the name of the shop and the location of the shop were noted.

I never heard of it. I searched for a cafe restaurant but I can think of it as a store anywhere. It is not included in the class of guide books. As far as I saw the picture, I did not seem to have a special place in the store.

So I decided to check with my own eyes.

I took an airplane and flew all the way to the beach in the south. Trusting only with suspicious notes, it's a shame that while going out for interviews without any prospect of meeting anyone. Still I could not suppress the feeling that I had to go there.

When picking up a taxi at the local airport and telling the store name, the driver made a surprised face. That shop is so to speak as a local place. Most customers in the vicinity are unusual for outdoor travelers like me to visit.

"The taste is certain, is not it?"

It seems that the driver himself is also regular.

I ran for a while on the coastline road and reached the cafe facing Nagisa. It is a shop called Norahouse.

---------

The shop was crowded with not too much crowd, the atmosphere of the talky of guests was comfortable. As the driver said, customers seem to have many local repeaters. It seemed familiar to the store clerks, and a circle of intimate conversation was made with tables here and there.

I did not know which dish was delicious so I ordered a "Nora Special".

Finished eating, I was puzzled.

The taste is good. I could not believe this shop was not famous. As a cooking dinner of a first-class store, it is flattering, but as a dish to eat while listening to the sound of the waves, it was a special taste.

nostalgic taste.

Yes, it's nostalgic.

Just ... ... It is not only nostalgic.

--what? What is this feeling?

I can not word well, even with myself as a feeling of springing in my chest.

"Sorry, did not you taste it?"

The waiter's young man was sorry to talk to him. It seems that my expression that I thought was first apparent.

"No such thing! It was very delicious."

I hurriedly canceled, the youngsters of blue hair seemed relieved.

"It was good ... actually it was a bit uneasy.

"Customers, are you not from this land? My home taste is local, so I wonder what else to do for someone else. "

"No, thank you for the treat, somehow a nostalgic taste, like to pull up nostalgia, remembering my hometown.

It was a taste I could not believe to eat for the first time. "

After I put it out, I noticed.

Yes, it is not the first time.

I know this taste. I have eaten it several times.

I remember this taste of this store.

No doubt, the taste she cooked.

--Girlfriend? Why do you know that it is a woman?

What was the name of the shop? When I saw an example memo, I did not feel anything with that name.

But as I touched this taste, my name has come back to my memory with a special meaning.

Norahouse - "Nora".

By the way, it is a phrase to remember. There were several testimonies in the coverage so far. It was a minor word all the time compared to keywords that influenced society as a whole, such as "purge" and "I'cie", so it was forced into a corner of the head.

The words I forgot. My memory I was losing.

"Madam, are you OK?"

The blue hair waiter is staring at me worriedly again, silently.

I remember him. At that time he was forcibly holding down the fear of death and holding a gun in the middle of battle of the battlefield. I was raising my voice to encourage people around me and inspire them.

"Nora is stronger than the army!"

- What is this memory?

The tide is echoing from Nagisa outside the window. The back of my head gets numb. One by one like memory waves. It is dark in front of you.

A cowardly voice said beyond the dark. I understood that the voice was just a big man.

"What the hell did you do with the customers falling down, you probably did not use rotten materials as well"

A strong-minded voice replies. This is a woman.

"If you use such a material, you can eat it with me! Yuj, do you remember the situation of the customer?

"I did not see it, I have eaten without eating food."

This is the voice of the waiter. Yes, his name was Yuj.

"I do not want to think that it is due to my dish ... but Gadot, I will take her to the hospital and come with us."

"I understand, I will take you only to the customers, Lebreau has come after we closed the shop."

I found the body floating. A man called Gadot lifted me lightly.

I wake up.

The sea was spreading in front of my eyes. I fainted in the store and fell down I seemed to have been laid on the deck chair of the terrace looking at Nagisa.

"How are you feeling?"

Gently put my lifted body back into the deck chair, a big guy asked with a surprisingly gentle voice.

"Yes ... I'm feeling better now, I think it's okay now"

Everyone seemed to be relieved.

Muscular giant is Gadot.

A blue hair waiter is Yuj.

And a black hair woman is Lebreau.

I suddenly got into question and asked.

"Well, you do not have a Maqui today?"

"Oh, he went to the junk store to buy some cloth-"

Gadot noticed before finishing the statement. Lebreau and Yuj changed their complexions.

"You, you know the Maqui!?"

I remembered.

It is not clear whether it is a previous generation or another universe, but in the world I was called Cocoon, I met them.

The innocent people were exiled by the command of the ruler, and the tragedy which is deprived of life by military attacks - There were young people desperately fought in pursuit of purge. Although he was not a professional soldier, he took the weapons for the citizen and took the initiative and faced the army was the group named "Nora". Members of Nora resisted the attacks of the military, pulled the surviving people, fled to the uninhabited area in Cocoon.

These three men and a woman, Snow are the central figure of the group. Gadot is an indomitable fighting spirit during harsh environments in harsh environments, Lebreau is a spirit and cuisine, Yuj is a delicate attitude, Maqui is an outstanding engineering talent, supporting people with their own ways It was.

I was one of the guys who were protected by them and supported.

I revealed the history of the interview so far. Having chased after the memory of the people about the world in which Cocoon existed. I met Hope and Sads. Ugu noticed while talking.

"I remembered you, it's a reckless journalist who infiltrated to reveal the actual state of purge, right?"

"Well, thankfully I was about to kill my life, but it was saved by everyone and thanks to my sincere escape, I was able to protect the image of the disaster of purge."

"Ohhhh! I am also remembering you, a woman who ran away the lie of the Holy Fishes and Fal'cie by sending a picture of the purge! Hacked up the broadcast with Maqui!"

It seems that Gadot was also thought. And also Lebreau

"After I became aware of Ultima, I feel I had several eaten, it was bad, I was not even a close friend I have forgotten. "

That was my line.

"I have also forgotten, not just about you, but about myself. I did not know anything until now what kind of person I was living in "that world".

But I could remember with this taste of this shop. I wonder who I was ... .... "

"Is it okay to say I am honored that your memory has risen with my cooking?"

"It's a so-called shock therapy, it was a pretty good Kitty taste."

"A little Gadot, can you explain what you mean?"

"Ah ... that is, that ... ...."

Someone came back to the place where Gadot fluttered with a big body.

"Everyone, what are you all excited about?"

"Welcome back Maqui, but the timing is terrible, do not fold the story."

"Well, it's an exquisite timing, sir."

"...... I do not understand the meaning"

Yuj who was listening silently showed it to me and shrugged my shoulders with a face that I know. It always seems like this atmosphere.

Yes, there was such a silly exchange in those days. As chased by the military and wandering around the remote boundary During the harsh escaping life, as usual thought of the deprived peaceful everyday, we always talked crappy and laughed together.

We naturally got on each other and we talked about various memories and got some useful information.

Saying goodbye Maqui said.

"I remember your name ... In those days ... ... you were" Aoede ", are you?"

I firmly nodded. That is a different name from me now. But it certainly is my name.

I remembered everything. I was born and raised in Cocoon under the name "Aoede", and I met at the moment when the Holy Cacoon collapsed from the turbulence of purge policy. We saw the end of the era of protection and control by Fal'cie and saw the beginning of the AF era when humankind challenged the revival of civilization with their own power.

And now I am reborn and I live in this world.

I wanted to appreciate her unidentified girl who taught this shop. Without her guidance, I would not encounter that taste and memories would not have returned. I decided to proceed as I was guided. Even with subtle information, if there was something to intuit with this, I chose to chase after all.

Nonetheless, the information we got at this store is not subtle. Information on the person who knows the core of the battle over "that world". Lebreay taught me secretly about the place where Serah Farron live. Serah Farron, Lightning's younger sister
