02. First Encounter With A Person From Another World

I was lying on a bed when I woke up.

“It’s a ceiling I’m not familiar with.”

As one would expect, I proceeded to mutter those words.

Maybe because I just experienced something excessively shocking, I’m strangely calm right now.

I looked around after getting up from the bed and some plain wooden furniture like a table and chair were set up, however I can’t see the owner of the house anywhere.

And then, a surprising scene is spread outside the window.

There are several flowers I’ve never seen until now.

It is beautifully arranged and calling it a garden will indeed be suitable.

Even if I’m in this situation, I can’t help but get out of the house, not forgetting to pick up my favorite illustrated encyclopedia and notebook that are both placed on the bedside. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“This flower resembles this one but this is the first time I’ve seen this color...could this be possibly...”

I muttered incoherently. I was absorbed in leafing through the illustrated encyclopedia when a I heard a voice from behind all of a sudden.

” *********? ********* ”

I looked back in surprise, and standing there is a muscled Ojii-san.

The thickness of his upper arms is amazing. His short sleeves are so stretched tightly.

Ojii-san‘s refreshing smile made me relax, but I can’t understand what he’s saying.

“Ah, uhm... I’m sorry. Sorry.”

I somehow used English even though it’s obvious that the words Ojii-san spoke are not English.

I feel like crying.

I slightly hang my head, but Ojii-san only bent down and patted my head.

He patted my head in a calming manner.

Flowers that I never saw before. Words that I never heard before. Somehow or the other, I began to understand that this place is different from what I’ve known so far and so, my tears didn’t stop.
