To The Earth

Kuh smells

Eeh, was Earth always like this?

Well, its true that Tokyos air is worse than the countrys but theres practically no air pollution in our world.

Never mind me are you alright?

Yeah, well, Ill get used to it.

Even so you put us right in Tokyo?

It turned out alright but its a bit cold, isnt it? I wonder what month it is?

Ria had no problem with the temperature because she was resistant to extreme temperatures. Casually jumping, she leapt onto the buildings rooftop. Serge followed behind her through teleportation.

Going to you parents place first?

Nee-chan, what sort of previous life did you leave behind?

Serge nodded. It wasnt so strange for an eccentric person like Ria, who had spent her entire life in Japan learning martial arts and swordplay, to also know such a scary person.

Dancing through Tokyos night sky, Ria flew while Serge used flight magic.

Here it is.

Here? I thought itd be a bigger house

By the way, it was currently 9 PM. Theyd confirmed the date and time on the way here as they passed by a convenience store.

[Yes, who is it?]

[ Is this a prank?]

[ Just a moment, please.]

[ You are?]

Ria lowered her hood, exposing her true face.

Nee-chan, so that was your name

[Tamura-sama died in an earthquake four months ago, though]

Ria pointed toward the world floating in the sky.

Saying that, Ria pulled out Nagasone Kotetsu from its sheathe at her waist.

[ For now, please, come in.]

Despite becoming completely expressionless, the maid guided the two of them into the entrance way.

Nee-chan, my legs hurt.

Dont push yourself. Hes friendly.

Soon after, the sliding door opened and a man appeared. From his appearance, he looked to be around forty.

[I am. Kikuchi-san, long time no see.]

[If youre Tamura try unsheathing this guy.]

[Arent you better than Tamura?]

[Hmm.]

That guys a bodyguard?

Setting aside his level, his skills are really amazing.

His swordplay level was lower, though. In exchange for that, his bojutsu level was higher. [1]

A short while later, an elderly person appeared in a relaxed manner. He was wearing a kimono and a pair of sunglasses. He looked considerably old, but his back was straight.

[Its been a long time.]

The old man laughed. It was the kind of laugh that could even be said to be like heartfelt delight.

Serge stood up and greeted him formally.

He waved his hand to have Serge sit, he himself also taking a seat, causing Ria to raise her head. Kikuchi stood by his side.

[The flow of time between this world and that one is different. I even know some people who reincarnated from the 21st century two thousand years ago.]

[Ryuke Riana Crystal Casalia Ogress. Its a long name, so please call me Ria.]

[Yes. There are practically no countries with a democracy. I am currently the ruler of the third most powerful country.]

[So Tamuras a ruler! Now thats a surprise!]

The conversation between the two continued on for a while. They talked about how Earth had been, much like they were comparing their memories.

[So, what did you come here for? Surely it wasnt simply to reminisce?]

Ria pointed toward the sky, continuing to talk as though the pressure didnt exist.

[Yeah, that bullshit story. Destroying the Earth is it really possible?]

[Dragons no, before that, did you just say you could destroy the world alone?]

[How? Not even you could cut down hundreds of millions with a sword.]

[Magic, that shady-sounding thing came up again. What do you mean by it?]

Understood.

[Astonishing. Truly astonishing. Its not some illusion?]

[No, wait. It was a joke.]

[So, allow me to ask again. Why have you come here?]

[Then why is he wanting to destroy his birthplace?]

Ria put strength into her Dragon Eyes.

[Really now He said that the sick and elderly will not be allows, what of that?]

The explanation put him at a loss for words.

[Thats why I said basically. Those with special skills or who are doing certain research will be screened by us.]

He muttered in a low voice.

[We have no need for those humans that have too much pride in their position. Humans working on-site and some leaders to guide them is enough.]

[There is no such thing as basic human rights in that world. Other than the Demon King, not even the various countries rulers would understand. Other than the Demonlands, there are very few democratic countries and most would laugh at the thought of human rights in derision.]

[And now that were back on topic, I would like you to lend me your aid in screening the immigrants.]

Americas engineers and scientists are planned to be given preference after Japan. However, humans that believe in Christianity might be somewhat difficult to manage.] [Far from difficult, it might be impossible. Even for Japanese, its a question of whether or not theyll want to go you know that this will be war, right?]

[Dont say it so lightly are there many wars in that world of yours?]

He folded his arms and started considering. Ria looked at him quietly, but Serge was bored. He used magic to look around the place, but gradually grew tired.

[No. Well then, Ill accept your offer.]

Borrowing sleep-wear, they gazed up at the wooden ceiling. His eyes closed, Serge spoke.

Yeah, but what else would you expect after suddenly being told your planet was going to be destroyed? I dont think anyone would be able to handle that easily.

Despite the nostalgia she felt, Ria quickly fell asleep.
