6 August Night Marunouchi Listed company X 6 August Night West Tokyo Mountainous region ## Verse 1 The place where the train with the orange line stopped was in a pitch-black mountain. "Where is... this place?" "Don’t ask me. I don’t know too." "...Sorry. Don’t be angry." Cinderella sighed at the frightened Rapunzel. (I thought she would be an asset for battles...) Just when she was thinking of leaving the weak-looking and useless Rapunzel there... "Ladies, did you miss the last train?" A frivolous-looking young man called out to them from a steel box much smaller than the previous one. Return from an event? Overslept in the train? I can give you a ride if you don’t mind. Hop on! Erm... Actually, we don’t have any place to go... Eh? Escape from home? Heh.... Well then, wanna come over to my place? I live by myself but my house is big because it is in the outskirt... Eh? Can we? I’m so glad Guys are always so kind after all As the man invited them to join him, Rapunzel got into the small steel box -- a car. Cinderella was taken aback by this lack of caution, but she had no choice but to follow suit. (There is nothing better than having a place to sleep. I will just kill the man if I need to) But still, there are so many things I don’t understand. This is obviously a different place from the Library. A civilization that is more advanced than I know. In such a world of all places... (I am unlucky to be with the girl who only thinks about men...) Unlike Cinderella who was at the backseat, Rapunzel sat in the passenger seat without hesitation and happily conversing with the man. ## Verse 2 "It's all mountains here, right? But hey, that's what make it nice. There have been a lot of unusual incidents in the city center lately. The countryside is a laid-back place." ## Verse 3 "I took an early retirement to come here. Working in the city like a cog in the company has became ridiculous. Fortunately, I have been able to make a living from my investments." ## Verse 4 "Here. It is so convenient now that you can do everything with just one smartphone. FX and cryptocurrency are hot, but I think NFTs should be on my radar from now on." ## Verse 5 The young man continued to talk on his own, even though he was not asked. While Cinderella who was not in mood to listen yawned, Rapunzel was exquisitely ministering. ## Verse 6 The young man handed his phone to Rapunzel who listened happily. There was an icon for a game called "SINoALICE" that had just been released two months earlier. ## Verse 7 "Come to think of it... You in the backseat, look like a character from this game. Is that cosplay?" The young man looked at Cinderella in the backseat through the rear mirror. ## Verse 8 Unlike Rapunzel, who was always trying to get a hold of the young man's conversation, Cinderella's blatant lack of interest in him made the young man smile awkwardly. But it was somewhat distorted smile. ## Verse 9 "Look, that's my house. Yea, a detached house. What a waste for one person to live alone, right? So feel free to make yourselves at home. You can take a bath too..." ## Verse 10 7 August Morning West Tokyo Mountainous region --Next day. Cinderella began to prepare breakfast with a glance at Rapunzel, who came out of the young man's room as a matter of course. Of course, just for herself. Then came the elderly neighbors. "Hey, are you there?!" "I told you to leave the front door unlocked." Perhaps pressured by the energetic old men in the morning, the young man had no choice but to open the door. "There is a neighborhood association meeting tonight!" "No, I don’t want anything..." "You are the youngest here, you have to do what you have to do!" The young man gritted his teeth. Don’t say like it is only natural for me to do it. Can you please stop using me for such hassle? I am not even your relative or something! What did you say? You cheeky bastard! We should help each other here! Youngster should work their ass! Damn it, son! Please die!! Wh-why this became so scary...
