When the Juggernaut Comes To the Second Dimension

While taking a shower, footsteps were suddenly heard outside the men's bathroom, and Yong Ye, who was in the cubicle where he could see each other's heads, somehow didn't know what to do.

Then... a bearded dwarf walked in.

One of the three main leaders of the Rocky Familia, an older dwarf Grace Landrock with a long beard of LV6, carrying a bottle of wine and wrapping a bath towel, when he saw the expressionless Eternal Night , could not help but froze in place.

"…Am I too drunk?"

"Yes, you are drunk, and what is in front of you is just an illusion. You need to go back and have a good sleep now, and the illusion will disappear."

"Like this?"

Touching his head, there was no doubt that his dwarf Grace went back just like that.

"...The dwarf race is surprisingly easy to deceive, especially when drunk."

Looking at the back of the dwarf whose face was flushed and obviously drinking too much, he sighed that the other party was easily tricked out, and Yong Ye quickly put on the clothes provided by Ais and left the bathroom.

When Dwarf Grace walked halfway and felt something was wrong, he came back, but he couldn't find anyone, which made Grace believe it was an illusion again. it's here.

After washing away the dust and returning to the room, he looked at his eternal night in the window as before, but was curious about the source of the inexplicably fitting clothes on his body. If there was no accident, this should be...

"Father……"

"...I think so too."

The door was pushed open, Ais entered the room, looked at Yong Ye's back, and subconsciously blurted out the characters in Yong Ye's imagination. Let Yong Ye sigh uncontrollably and correct her behavior.

"First of all... is it really okay for you to give me your father's clothes like this?"

"This was chosen by my mother and I back then, and my father never wore it once."

"I'm not disgusting being passed through, I just think it's a little weird..."

"Strange? Then..."

Looking at Yong Ye, who was wearing this dress that had been covered in dust for several years, Ais, who fell into nostalgia, hesitated for a while, and picked out... a blue dress with fringed lace from the closet, and handed it to Yong Ye.

"how about this?"

"I said...are you serious?"

"The dress stretches so well that it shouldn't break."

As if to show the superior elasticity of the dress, Ace pulled the dress to show him, and just as she said, the dress was very stretchable, and there was no wrinkle or trace left.

"Want to try?"

"Who would try that kind of thing!"

Depressed by Ai's serious question, Yong Ye couldn't help but speak a little louder, causing Ai, who was wearing a blue-edged white pajamas, to be startled, and said "I'm sorry..." like a child who did something wrong. whispered apology.

"No, I'm not blaming you, I'm just... I just want to say that you should keep this dress for yourself... I'll just be respectful of this dress, so I'll give it back when I buy new clothes tomorrow..."

"No need to pay it back."

"why??"

"Because father has no chance to wear it, so... give it to you."

"...I don't understand the logic of this at all, but forget it... It must be tiring to argue with you."

The news that Ais' father and guessed were almost dead did not surprise Yong Ye, but Yong Ye wisely avoided arguing with him.

After that, the room fell silent again as neither of them was the type that was very good at chatting.

Yong Ye was thinking about the time to leave, the way to recuperate, and the series of things that followed, but Ais was staring at him unabashedly. Those eyes... always felt like she was looking at something far away.

"..."

"..."

"I said……"

After a short period of time, Yong Ye finally couldn't bear it anymore. He sat opposite him and stared at him, but Ais, who had no idea of ​​his inner thoughts, was just puzzled. slightly tilted his head.

"what?"

"Can you stop staring at me like that?"

"Can."

The problem was pointed out, but Ais was not particularly embarrassed. Instead, she turned her attention to Yong Ye's left eye that was obviously different.

"Can I ask, that... what's wrong with your eyes?"

Probably trying to avoid touching the forbidden minefield as much as possible, the girl who usually does not like to talk carefully chooses the words.

"This..."

Not self-abasement but self-deprecating, Yong Ye put his hand on his left eye with a wry smile, covering his left eye that was still aching in the rain today.

"...This is the price I paid for a certain multiple-choice question many years ago. Although my injury has healed, I still feel pain in my eyes. Maybe it's because I'm too hypocritical?"

Quickly restraining the bitterness, Yong Ye just said it lightly, acting like he didn't care.

"Is that so..."

"Well, that's it."

"..."

The chat stopped after a few sentences, and Ais wanted to say, 'That's not the case! ’ But there was no way to say it, because in fact she didn’t know what kind of person the man opposite was, but… She felt that the person who could say that must not be a hypocritical person, because…

"—Hypocritical people don't call themselves hypocritical."

"But very hypocritical people will say this, using your thoughts to get rid of their hypocrisy, you are a simple child, and you will be deceived if you are not careful?"

"Won't."

"Okay, then it won't, compared to this... I think it's almost time for me to leave. It's not good to stay with you all the time."

It is Yong Ye’s basic principle to not have unnecessary arguments with Tian Tian, ​​so he didn’t plan to argue with Aisi, but just looked at the lightening rain outside the window, said goodbye to Ais, and then said goodbye to Aisi. Came to the window, ready to open the window and jump down, leaving the Loki Familia, the god's territory.

But before the window could be opened, Ais stopped him.

"Wait first!"

"...?"
