Chapter 12: Re:Start

I miss Emiko so much.

It is the 3rd year anniversary since I’ve been back into this world, but is it really appropriate to think of her when I’m running away from the police?

I was running away from the police because I stole some chocolate. My father died last year, so when a social worker was appointed to me, he was also in control of the budget. And in that budget from the social welfare, he didn’t plan on me eating chocolate.

As I was running down the street next to a school, I was trying to enjoy the chocolate I stole a few moments ago. But it was easier said than done. I thought it was helping my energy levels but it was probably just semantics.

I was nearing the bridge where I met Emiko which just made me miss her even more at this particular moment.

Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.

I always tried to use the ability I learned from Emiko in this world, but it never worked. It’s as if there is no mana in this world. The only moment where I felt like it could work was near the bridge.

But if someone would tell me weeks ago that today the street lamp in cartoon style was there again, I wouldn’t have believed them.

But it was there. Naturally, I climbed up the street lamp and when I reached the lamp part, I was pulled in.

And then my existence was again this nothingness. I felt nostalgia during the whole trip. But dropping down to the ground was not something I wanted to feel nostalgic about.

Some things never change, huh?

There she stood in front of me, Emiko. Just… without her horns? There was something off about her as well. Almost, as if someone else was there.

“Who are you?”

And with these words, my adventure restarted in this foreign world.
