Kidnapping the Hero Party

Side Story (2)

Side Story (2)

I live with my family in an ordinary apartment.

I have all my parents, but no older brothers or sisters.

So my house is usually very quiet.

It’s not from today, though.

“This is amazing. If you press the button, you can climb to a higher place. I didn’t even use magic. The world you live in is a bit interesting.”

Are there no elevators in that world?

Judging by the atmosphere of the warriors’ party on the way home, these guys seemed to be somewhere between the Middle Ages and modern times.

So you must be interested in everything in this house.

“Mister! Can I touch this?!”

“No.”

“Why?!”

“… If you touch it, it will break.”

Luna showed no sign of distress until the moment she carried me home. So, if you touch the TV with that superpower, it will break down soon. TVs are expensive and precious items, so you should never give them the possibility of breaking down.

“Chii, I wonder what this is… “

“I’ll play it in a little while. We have something to say first, right?”

Luna took her eyes off the TV and approached me, hiding her regret. As she suddenly stood before my eyes, I could notice the change around me.

Obviously, it’s normal for the living room to be full…

‘Why does it feel so spacious?’

I asked Luna as she cleared her voice to begin her explanation.

“Kuhmm… big… To elaborate on that-“

“No, wait before that.”

“Yes?”

“Where did the other guys go?”

“Ah!”

Pink hair, black hair, white hair.

They didn’t exist where they should be.

Luna was taken aback for a moment, looked around, and replied confidently.

“It’s okay! It’s hard to explain when they’re there! It’s perfectly fine!”

“I know what you guys will do in my house. I’m not okay.”

Everything has to be where I can see it.

If it’s true that they come from another world. Everything in this house will look curious.

Clang-

Just like now.

“Nu, I guess someone dropped something, hehehe.”

“… Is the sound coming from my parents’ room?”

It’s okay to come back late or come home only rarely. If something breaks, it’s a different story.

I grabbed a mop from the kitchen and walked toward the master bedroom.

There, Estiya with white hair was sitting in front of the dressing table.

“Hee hee, this smells good! What are you using this for?”

“… Foundation. It is a cosmetic that changes the skin tone.”

“Oh, brother!”

“Yes, brother.”

It’s better to be called brother than uncle. I said while snatching the cosmetics from Estiya’s hand.

“Watch out on the floor and get up. Stop thinking and go to the living room.”

“Why me!”

Is this the type of person who doesn’t listen well? However, I feel like it looks very simple. Should I say that I feel like a child? He said, raising Estiya’s body, whose brain looked too pure.

“Go and wait.”

“No! I’m curious about something else!”

“If you wait well, I will grant you a wish later. How about it?”

“Good!”

Wadada-

Estiya ran towards the living room, apparently happy to get what she wanted. Fortunately, the glass that fell to the floor was not stepped on.

“Is it homesick that you fell… “

I wanted to smell it more, but I didn’t know how to use it, so I just broke it. For the time being, the smell of perfume will linger in the master bedroom.

I opened the window and quickly removed the broken glass from the floor. However, it seems that this is not the end. Another sound echoed from the other room.

Kwaang-!

“What did you drop this time… “

Please, I hope it’s not just electronic products. I prayed to the sky and left the bedroom. As I said, Estiya was sitting well on the sofa. Seeing him nodding his head and dozing off, he must be quiet.

Then, Luna was looking around her kitchen, probably bored of waiting. Its behavior was similar to that of a beast seen in a documentary.

“… Luna.”

“Yes, yes?!”

“There is bread on the desk. If you can’t wait, eat.”

“Yes, I got it!”

If you take your eyes off it even a little bit, you’re hitting the case one by one. How did I in the past think of kidnapping them?

No matter how much I say myself, I couldn’t understand kidnapping at all. With such thoughts in my mind, I headed towards the place where the voices were heard, and eventually I was able to find the cause of the commotion.

Hare and Saten.

They were arguing in my room.

“I told you that this is the uncle’s room… But why drop it… !! It’s my uncle’s stuff… !”

“Did you know I would fall? It’s a mistake. It’s a mistake. And Hare. Why are you so angry when you’re not even a man? I will apologize to you, so please stay still.”

“On the topic of doing stupid things to hang yourself… “

“Hmm, are you done talking now? Can you understand that you want to fight me?”

You fight very well in someone else’s house.

The two glared at each other and did not back down a single step. It is said that there is no intention of making concessions to each other. It seemed that if I didn’t intervene, the situation would only get worse.

That’s also my house. In my room.

I was afraid of the strength of the two, but I mustered up the courage to step in between them.

“Everyone, stop fighting and go to the living room. I’ll clean up anything that falls.”

“Ah, mister… !! Sa, Saten dropped the old man’s stuff… !”

“I will tell you even if you don’t.”

Saten, with emotionless eyes, made eye contact with me and bowed her head.

“I’m sorry, Mister. I accidentally dropped the frame. Luckily it didn’t break.”

I’m glad it didn’t break. I carefully lifted the frame from the floor. As Saten said, it didn’t break. I hung the picture frame on the wall again and asked.

“… Did you want to see the picture?”

“Yes, I wanted to see it up close. Who are your uncle’s parents? Then I made a mistake, I’m sorry.”

“It’s okay, I’m glad it didn’t break. Aren’t you hurt?”

“Yes, I am fine.”

Saten turned her body around as if she wasn’t hurt, and told me her condition. She doesn’t know anything from the outside. Once she pretended she understood and nodded her head.

“It’s okay. Well, once. Would you like to go to the living room? Let’s talk.”

“Yes, I will. Hare. Come along too.”

“… Okay.”

Hare followed Saten out of her room with a gloomy expression. Her gait felt a little unnatural, but it was because she was in a bad mood, so I let her go and I followed her room.

‘The door… Let’s lock it up for now.’

After making sure the door was properly locked, I walked towards the living room. Fortunately, there were four people gathered in one place.

There will be no more accidents. I sat down on the sofa and spoke to Luna, the head of the hero’s party.

“You said you would explain in detail, right?”

“Yes, I can explain in detail! What about your past!”

My past. The past in another world.

“To be honest, I think that makes no sense. Common sense would never allow that to happen.”

“Eh… “

Even so.

Even though it can’t happen with common sense.

I can’t just move on because something remains in my memory. Unresolved answers remain in my heart and make me frustrated. I decided to listen to these nonsense guys once.

“Still, I’ll listen and judge. To believe or not to believe is for later.”

“Joe, great! But not all! Let me tell you! What kind of person is your uncle! Uncle disappeared and what happened! What kind of existence is Uncle to us! I’ll tell you properly!”

“Yes.”

Luna answered with a loud, excited voice. Full of confidence, confident tone. Although I am not that girl. I could guess roughly how she lived.

‘Perhaps a person like that is not ashamed of himself.’

She must have such a confident personality because she has lived a proud life with herself and others. Of course, that’s just my guess. The atmosphere that a girl named Luna gave off was like that.

‘On the other hand, Hare and Saten… ‘

I’m sorry for them. There’s a lot of negative vibes going on. Not that they are bad. When I felt it, there was actually such a feeling.

‘Obviously, you said it was more difficult after I was gone… ‘

Then, does that mean that the reason those two became like that was because of my influence? Does that lead to ‘responsibility’? No, no matter how much I think about it, the answer won’t come out. It’s a useless idea.

I decided to listen to Luna’s voice after clearing out the thoughts that popped into my head.

“Now that you are ready, tell me. What kind of existence was I in the past?”

“This may be a bit long, but Mr. First of all, in one word… He is both an uncle and a teacher, a kidnapper and a presence that makes the heart beat!

“… That.”

Is it Stockholm Syndrome? It’s not that? The one who has affection for the kidnapper.

Having said that, Luna raised her voice in anger.

“No-No!! Because it’s not!! Just listen!”

“… “

The atmosphere was scary, so I decided to listen to Luna’s story.

My past. My story in another world.
