Gaiden – For a very long time # 5
woo woo woo.
The game console nymphtendo gave off a strange light.
Paaa-!
The glare was too strong to be viewed as a simple malfunction or bug.
Anyone can see that something is about to happen.
rattle, rattle.
The nymphtendo caught in my hand immediately shook like a cage in which a hamster ran wild. It feels like something is trying to get out of there.
I was able to grasp the situation with the intuition of the wizard. The fact that soon something will jump out of the nymphtendo.
“Everyone be careful!”
It was time to shout for everyone’s safety.
Fabababat-!
My palms twitched greatly.
At the same time, the flash that had pierced the eyes also faded. When I came to my senses and lifted my head, I saw something very strange up there up there.
『—————!』
It was a strange animal. It has several layers of gold glittering bands on its white body like Saturn. It looked like a fairy’s wing coat.
At first glance, it looks like a four-legged beast. But its appearance did not resemble any other animal I had ever seen. If I had to find a beast that looked like it, it would be closer to a giraffe.
“What is that?”
When I was panicking, the biggest reaction was Leonoi, who had just been bitten by the water-soaked game console.
“Ah-! That guy is the creator god Arnoise… ! Arnoiz, the creator god of the wild, has appeared… !”
“What?”
As I frowned, the beast burst into the air, crying with a very strange sound, “Myororong-!”.
The beast that jumped over the numerous animal fences with just one jump jumps out at a faster speed than expected and disappears into the distance.
“What’s this.”
“It’s about running away… ! I have to chase after him and catch him… !”
Pabat-.
Leonoi, who had just been startled, ran after the strange beast. I looked back and thought for a moment.
So, was the fantasy monster or something that was in the game machine actually embodied and popped out?
did i do it? Will I use restoration magic on the game machine to restore the data contained in it and only actually implement it?
The only conjecture I can think of right now is this. However, I was well aware that the 8th-order Restoration Magic didn’t have the ability to turn data into reality.
It’s true that I reacted to my mana.
It’s not my magic.
That was my conclusion.
“I don’t know what… .”
Also, looking at the light that reacted to the mane of the sun lion, the brilliance was unusual.
“Let’s go after us too!”
Maybe the last ingredient appeared in front of me.
And I couldn’t let such a bizarre monster go wild in the zoo. If I left it like this, it was certain that something very troublesome would happen.
Is it already happening?
Anyway!
We also stopped what we were doing and ran briskly in the footsteps of what Leonoi and the Creator God were doing. There were already many people running away from the place we were headed.
– Run away!
-Hey, what was that just now!?
– I don’t know! Guess what escaped!
Ding dong ding-.
「The safety control office will inform you. Ah, ah, there’s a commotion near the Aquatic Zoo right now. Visitors who came quickly followed the security personnel… .”
Announcements were also heard from speakers installed throughout the zoo. It seems that no one was hurt or injured right away, but my conscience is stabbed.
Aira, who was running with me at that time, said:
“It is a very strange beast. It was a very mysterious and wonderful beast. Tae-oh, is that child also a beast that lives here in a zoo?”
It was as if Aira had just seen the beast for the first time. Even in the magical world, the giraffe-like beast just didn’t exist.
“I saw it for the first time today too!”
As I answered, my eyes were looking everywhere.
I had to quickly find out where the beast had fled. While people were confused here and there, Stella pointed to a place.
“Tae-oh, look at that!”
Where Stella’s finger was pointing, there was something like a symbolic tower that could be called a monument to the zoo. The beast rises to that high place in a graceful state and cries.
『————!』
It was still a strange cry. Should it be said to lift people’s minds or to make them cluttered?
Whoops – Ira who smiles.
“There doesn’t seem to be any malice in the cry.”
is it?
However, Leonoi, who frowned under the symbol tower, looked full of selfishness.
“Come down here quickly… ! I’m going to be caught by this body Leonoi… !”
The beast ran away again with an elegant leap, perhaps because Leonoi was bothered by such a thing. Leonoi was outraged that he had missed the beast of fantasy in front of his eyes.
“Hey… !”
* * *
The time is already around four in the afternoon.
They scattered throughout the zoo, but Arnoise, the beast of fantasy, was nowhere to be seen. It is now a known fact that he escaped from the zoo.
“It’s a big deal.”
I was worried that this bizarre creature would be buzzing about in the news and on the internet. How will people in the 21st century react to this situation… .
Then Leonoi, who was touching my cell phone, shouted.
“Dad sees this… ! There are eyewitness accounts of Arnoise coming up in the pocket monster community… !”
“What?”
I got my cell phone back from Leonoi. Then the small letters were muttering a story that was quite unbelievable.
“I just saw Arnoise, the creator god, in front of the central station hahaha”
“I’m spring too hahaha I must be shooting a live-action movie again at Nymphtendo”
“Is this a new version of the augmented reality game? It seemed very true.”
“… … .”
I’m tired. Rather, how did Leonoi find out about such a community site? I heard that the younger and younger you are, the less repulsive to accept new culture and the faster you go.
Also, Leonoi is a genius.
Thanks to this, I was able to roughly grasp the location of Arnoise.
“We’ll go to the central station too!”
taken from noblemt l
Get everyone in the car and step on the accelerator as hard as you can.
Fortunately, the central station was not far from the zoo. As I parked my car in the parking lot, I saw Arnoise standing proudly on top of the station building.
People are constantly taking pictures of him or watching him with cameras. Fortunately, no one was seen panicking or injured.
『—————!』
Then Arnoise made a strange cry.
One by one, the people holding the cellphones made strange noises like “Huh?” or “Ah?”.
It’s probably because their cell phone flashed a strange text message at the same time, and then went off with a great heat.
Arnoise, who had turned off everyone’s cell phone, leapt again and disappeared into the distance. I just followed you all the way here, but you run away again.
Then little Mirna pulled my pants. Little Mirna’s expression is smiling like a tangerine that has just been peeled.
“hide and seek.”
“hide and seek? You mean he’s playing tag with us right now?”
Ira answered my question.
“It really happened. Somehow, I didn’t see any hostility. Nymphs and children easily understand the meaning of animals. As Mirna said, that animal might want to play with us.”
Ira’s opinion had some truth to it.
Do you want to play with us?
Leonoi adds to that.
“Perhaps it is clear that he is testing his worthy mastery… ! The creator god Arnoise is a fantasy monster that cannot be easily captured, so he is obscuring his master… !”
Where do you hold yourself – what is it?
When I thought of that, my motivation surged as if I had been provoked. When I found out that he had no malice, I was relieved a little.
Shh.
I picked up the mane of the sun lion. Whether or not he is attracted to him, he runs diligently on foot, using the glowing lion’s mane as a milestone.
When it was late afternoon when the sun began to set after running like that for about thirty minutes or an hour.
I was able to get to a fairly familiar street.
familiar alley.
A familiar power pole.
familiar sunset.

Creaking noise.
The sounds of children’s laughter, which are unfamiliar but full of familiar feelings.
“here is… . It’s pretty cramped. Did the animal really run away to a place like this?”
Mirna, who came out of the narrow alley, looked around. How do these alleys and streets look to Mirna?
I answered small.
“This is the town where I grew up.”
This is a neighborhood playground near the nursery where I grew up. It was also a place I couldn’t forget if I tried to forget it. Arnoise was sitting on the floor of the playground with his stomach spread.

Children babbling and running around him, or stroking his soft-looking white body, or making noises.
『——.』
As we approached, he cried a little with a strange sound. But this time he didn’t run away.
As I was looking into his bright eyes, young mothers appeared from somewhere in the alley, waving their hands and calling their children.
─I must go home now!
—Mom, over there, Arnoise!
—Yes, yes, let’s go home, wash our hands, and eat.
One by one, the children took their mother’s hand and returned under the warm roof with their families, leaving the mysterious animal behind.
All that was left was me, as always, looking at the lengthening shadows. No, this is wrong now. Because I was with my family.
I approached Arnoise and stroked his long neck or back and said,
“You know me. Did you make me come here on purpose?”
“… … … .』
He didn’t even cry anymore. But his soft body and my hands on it taught me more than verbal conversations.
What kind of existence is this guy and where he came from? I also noticed that I was much older than I thought.
“I have seen it. Stars falling from the sky. The narrow gate was created at that time and the world beyond. went there It’s fun here. There are plenty of places to play.”
I was a little surprised at what he said. The words seemed a little slurred, but it was a very mysterious and heart-warming voice.
Such a guy snorts and snorts. That little wind gently shakes my hair.
The breath contained a lot of information. Thanks to that, I could tell that this guy was originally living somewhere in the Angmar Kingdom.
A dimensional niche that was created when a star fell from the sky a thousand years ago. He went to that door and found out that he had been settling in this world for quite some time, away from where he had lived.
“Awesome.”
How can you spit out so many stories with just one breath? It was surprising even I thought. Soon I realized the nature of this bizarre animal.
This guy is information.
You can call it data. A collection of information created from numerous data sources. That was the essence of this friend.
So, you can control people’s cell phones, and you can become a monster in the game with a probability of 1 in 10 million.
However, it seems that he did not possess the magical power to realize himself in reality. It must have been because most of it was lost while crossing the portal that connects the world.
In the first place, there is no magic on this earth. If I want to use magic, I have to use only the magical power that resides in my body.
So, through the mana that was used in my body, I used the 8th-level restorative magic.
My guess is that this guy who reacted to that explosive magic was able to break the silence for a long time and be practically embodied in reality.
Whoops.
Then this strange beast took a breath.
It felt as if I was trying to read my thoughts rather than simply taking a breath. No, to be precise, it seems more like eating than reading thoughts.
“Mostly right.”
He wondered if he had read my thoughts and cried in a strange voice.
“I am Ar-noise. He was living in many different forms. But I like this look the most. children. He often smiles when he sees me. Children’s laughter is good. It was good to take over the nymphs too. New software, the legend of Ar-noise. It will be released soon.”
“Have you acquired the nymphtendo?”
“Ah-! It’s amazing that a new one is coming out… !”
It was a very interesting story for me and Leonoi. However, Ar-Noise did not answer our questions and only said what he wanted to say.
“I have seen everything in this world. half fairy. you saw too A small child left alone here. loner. your story. your possibilities. It was very interesting. wrote a novel didn’t sell much. regret.”
my story? novel?
“Are you saying you wrote the villain hunter story?”
“… … .』
The guy who had been talking well until now shut his mouth. In fact, whoever wrote the story didn’t matter to me now, so I didn’t ask any more.
He said again if he had read my will.
“I am the small noise wave created by children’s laughter, Ar-noise. You are a little half-elf. A child who doesn’t laugh. like me. A loner from another world.”
“ah… .”
This guy is like me. A stranger living alone in a different world.
When everyone leaves the playground holding mother’s hand, a loner who is left alone and watches the shadows grow longer.
As I looked at the children returning to their families with envy.
This guy must have seen countless, tens of thousands, tens of millions of times, thousands of children living happily through the screen of the game console turned off.
“Still, you are smiling well now. Did you have fun today? hide and seek.”
“Yeah, it was fun.”
“It’s fine.”
“It was really fun. Even when I come to my senses, it’s getting late.”
Soon, the warm spring night will gently settle on this swing and slide. When I was a child, I only thought that the playground in the evening was somewhat lonely.
Because dinner wasn’t the time for children in the first place.
“Mom-ma, that-yes!”
“The shape of the swing is the same in this world and in my hometown.”
ㅡ Ying yaing.
But now that I have come to see it, the park at night has a noisy atmosphere in its own way. The signboard lights lit up in every alley and the hustle and bustle of the way home from work is even more welcoming.
From that moment on, the evening ceased to be scary.
It’s probably because I’ve grown up after a long wandering and puberty.
The feeling of being an ‘adult’, which I didn’t feel even after getting married and having children, now really touches me.
Do you know me at that time?
Even the young me who walked around this neighborhood alone with lonely steps.
silkygoat was the goat. cry
Noisy and busy, but having a wonderful family.
Shh.
I reached out to me as a child who waited for someone’s hand. Then, a child who looks very much like me as a child takes my hand.
“It’s the first time I’ve played on the playground until the evening… ! That’s what Mom always called for dinner… !”
It was Leonoi.
I stroked Leonoi’s head like that.
