An unfamiliar roof

  After losing my consciousness for a good amount of time, I finally opened my eyes to see a white ceiling .

  “At these kinds of situations, it’s always an unknown ceiling huh……”


  When I tried to raise up, for the time being, I realized I was on top of a bed . This is definitely a hospital, isn’t……

  I took a look over the place and noticed that there was a TV and raindrops outside the window .

  This is not a different world, is it……

  As I fell in thoughts, someone abruptly opened the door . Looking at that direction, I confirmed that they were my parents who seemed to be confused . Their expressions then instantly changed into a one of concern and they hastily approached me .

  “Yato! Are you feeling okay? Are you in pain somewhere?!”


  My mother asked me with a considerably worried face .

  “Yeah, I’m fine, mom . ”


  When I said that, my mother became relieved as she muttered: “thank god!” .

  This year, she has already reached 40, but her appearance is that of a young beautiful 20 years old lady .

  “Are you really okay? How are you feeling?”


  This time it was my father who inquired me .

  “Yeah, I’m feeling good, dad . ”


  “I see, that’s great . ”


  Same as my mother, My father is also older than 40, however, despite his age he still quite good-looking . Anyone who would witnesses the both of them together can’t help but imagine them as a couple of young lovers . Which I found deceiving .

  “I’m glad that you’re okay . I was frightened when I first heard that you were collapsing alone in the classroom . ”


  “That’s right . Yato, what in heaven happened in there? Where did your classmates go?”


  I closed my mouth for an instant to my father’s question . This is bad, we’re already talking about that!? What to do?

  “You are Kamiya Yato, I’m I correct . ”


  Just when I was about to speak, this time, several old men made their way inside the room . They’re police detectives, apparently .

  “I am Onigawara from the metropolitan Police Department . Is it possible for you to answer some questions?”


  That’s a police officer for sure .

  And the questions are probably about my classmates teleporting into a different world .

  But how should I answer him? There’s no way he would accept a reply like ‘they went to another world!’ .

  I began contemplating the circumstances .

  “Please stop! Yato has just woke up! I’d like you to leave for now please!”


  My mother furiously yelled at the officers .

  The officers seemed to be taken aback by her shout and possibly because they considered the tension of the mood, they decided to honestly drawback .

  “I understand . Well then, we shall be coming back another day . ”


  The several officers left the room as a group . My mother is not from the type who gets angry too often, but once she does, things become quite scary . I still remember how frightening it was when I was once seriously rebuked by her .

  I remained silent as watched the officers leaving .

  “By the way, what time is it now?”


  I asked as I started to restlessly look around the place for a clock .

  “It’s 4:00 pm . Don’t worry, it’s still the same day . ”


  My father was the one who answered .

  Seriously? Doesn’t that mean I only slept for a light 2 hours?

  I barely stopped the shock from reaching my face .

  “Come to think of it, Where’s Karen?”


  “Karen-chan is taking care of the house . She was really worried when she heard about your break down . ”


  It seems that Karen didn’t come with my parents .

  And yeah, Karen is my little sister .

  She’s a pretty middle school sophomore taking after my mother .

  Our relation is not that good, but neither that bad . In brief, we’re just normal siblings .

  For that Karen to be worried about me, Onii-chan is quite happy .

  “okay, we should go now . ”


  Uttered my father as he checked his watch .

  “Ah, is it already time? Well then, Yato, we’re going back to work now, okay?”


  “Alright, have a good time . ”


  Like that, my parents left the room . Righ after they closed the door, I took a deep breath and laid down in the bed . ”


  That’s right, I need to check on my status .

  It’s really there . I thought it was just a dream .

  I concentrated my sight on the new Sleeping strength magic skill .

  Ooh, This is a very convenient magic .

  Getting stronger only by sleeping is a perfect skill for me . Without any further delay, I tried to use it by falling asleep, but suddenly, something like a chant started floating inside my head .

  Should I chant this line, maybe?

  At that instant, I sensed as if I was faintly shining and my body somehow felt warmer . At this conditions, I think I can sleep quickly .

  As I was thinking about that, I wrapped myself inside the cushion and fell into a deep slumber .

  I will leave out the part where I spent a good amount of time accepting police interviews and chased by the press corps .

  Anyway, an entire year has passedーーーーーーーAnd I graduated from being a middle school student .
