Chapter 4: Nanami and An End

Chapter 4's

✓Nanami and An End

When the time came, the 1,000 people who had been chosen by the Gods would be sent to a parallel world.

It is midnight GMT on January 1.

Due to the time difference, departure will be made at 9am in Japan.

Unfortunately it was raining, even though the morning news said it rarely rained on the new year's day.

I left the house with an umbrella in hand to give my final farewell to Nanami.

When I got out of my house, there was a TV crew some distance away who must have just arrived. Akj saw them point their cameras at me, and I just bowed lightly at them.

My house is not only small, but it also faces a busy street, so with several TV station crews blocking the road, traffic jams occur.

On the day of Nanami's election, there was enough trouble about it, so they decided to take a position on the sidewalk a little further away. Well, today will be the last day they chase after Nanami.

Gods did not reveal more information than was necessary about parallel worlds.

What we do know is that it is a world similar to Earth, and it is a fantasy world of swords and magic. Selected will be awarded Bonus Points to strengthen themselves, exchange items, and start in the circumstances you wish to a certain extent ... That's the most we get.

There wasn't much advice I could give Nanami.

Even if he can slightly strengthen his body, I can't imagine Nanami fighting monsters. Then, did he have any other choice but to live his life safely in the city?

In that case, rather than putting in points to strengthen himself aimlessly, it would be better to turn them into items and money. But if he had money and good things while still weak, he might be robbed and killed.. Then, really needed strength…? I swirled around and didn't get a clear answer.

My sister said that putting the necessary points in strengthening yourself is necessary because there is a high chance that you will not be able to get them later, she said, so they say that you have to take things like that, It's because we're not strong characters so that's important.

That was why, in the end, there was no choice but to decide what ability to obtain after seeing it. With that in mind, you can then distribute your points in a balanced manner. That's the safest way.

That's the conclusion we came to.

“...Am I getting here a little late? Even so, it is quite quiet in Nanami's house..” (Hikaru).

It's still 8 in the morning.

Are they still sleeping even though it's departure day?

The chosen one was originally supposed to gather at the Tokyo Dome where people would watch over their departure, but Nanami refused. He declined on a television program saying he wanted to get through his final moments with his family.

Well, there is a possibility that the mass media that cannot read the mood will appear at the last minute, but at the moment there is no one. They might unexpectedly respect the final moments of the Chosen One.

Or maybe they didn't force it because they were afraid of God's punishment.

"Good morning, it's me, Hikaru!" (Mari)

The entrance was open, so I just got in, but this is weird.

Even though the lights were on, there was no sound.

I became acquainted with the Nanami family because our family was friends. It was hard to believe that they would still fall asleep on the day his daughter was about to leave.

I took off my shoes and entered while feeling a bad feeling.

The door to the dining room was closed and the lights were on, but only silence ruled the place.

"Good morning! …It's weird." (Mari)

Has he been moved?

I headed to Nanami's room while still carrying this bad feeling.

The room is on the second floor.

It was as if the only sound in this house shrouded in silence was the sound of rain, the beating of my heart, and the crackling of my teeth.

“Nami…? Are you there?" (Mari)

Even when I knocked on the door, there was no answer.

I steeled myself and opened the door to Nanami's room.

And there he is.

His eyes closed, and his body lay as if leaning against the bed.

His stomach was, no, his entire upper body was a deep red color from the remnants of blood, creating a sea of blood that dyed the red carpet.

“Na...nami..?” (Mari)

I ran towards him on the verge of falling.

“Nami! Oh! Wake up! Nanami...!” (Mari)

I shook his shoulders, but his head swung helplessly.

Without any strength as if he was a puppet.

I felt blood flowing from my face.

…He died?

......Nanami got killed...?

My brain can't process this.

He said that going to a parallel world was scary.

My childhood friend who cried when she begged someone to switch with her?

Even though he was energetic yesterday.

He also never had any major injuries.

That Nanami had died on the day she was to be moved.

I don't know how long I've been here.

My brain can't even process to check if aunt and uncle Nanami are okay. My whole body was shaking, and I couldn't even breathe properly.

It was as if my brain, heart, entire body were trying my hardest to deny this reality.

“A-By the way..I have to call ambula—” (Hikaru)

Just as I calmed down a bit and took out my smartphone, a voice rang out from my back and the feeling of something hot being pushed into my body happened almost at the same time.

“...Well?! A-What..ini?” (Mari)

My vision was colored bright red.

The heat began to spread from my back as if my blood was flowing in reverse. My consciousness flickered as if it matched the rhythm of my heart.

My back feels hot.

It was as if a scorching iron pipe had been pushed into me.

"Pathetic. Don't scare me. You are..Kurose, right? Are you guys dating? Sorry for killing him.”

When I looked back, there was a man who was the same age as me.

A guy from the same school I've seen before.

We were never in the same class. A man I don't remember his name.

I think he's the kind of guy who would be 'yay yay' outside of a popular group of people.

Even though she was from a different class, she sometimes came to our class, so I kind of remembered her face.

The man who wailed loudly for not being chosen.

Why did he kill Nanami…?

Why does he know my name…?

“Yeah, I'm going to disappear into a parallel world. Just consider yourself unlucky and give up, Kurose. You will die together with your beloved Nanami-chan, so it's okay, right?”

The man laughed hysterically with a pale face, but only his eyes were shining dangerously, and he did not look normal at all.

“K-Why...?” (Mari)

I squeezed out the remaining bit of strength and spoke.

Why did he kill Nanami?

“Hah? Don't you know? If you kill the Chosen, the right is given to the person who killed them. I want to go to a parallel world at all costs. Well, I feel sorry for Nanami-chan, but she said that she was afraid of going to a parallel world, right? After all, he would die instantly there. Then, everyone will be happy if I am the one who achieved great things there.”

"…You're a fool…!" (Mari)

If you kill the Chosen one, his right will be granted.

It was a rumor circulating on the internet at first, but it was just a hoax story.

There were a few Chosen who were killed, but there was not a single story about the assassin obtaining the rights given to them.

It just goes to the random lottery again.

This idiot believed the hoax and killed Nanami.

“Who~ is an idiot? What makes you arrogant here, you loner. ”

I got kicked, and fell on top of Nanami.

I'm not in a condition where I can fight. My consciousness has faded.

The heat on my back was gone, and now I just feel cold.

I could tell instinctively that death was imminent.

“Well, stay about 1 hour, yes. It would be troublesome if someone else came, so maybe I should lock the entrance?”

The man left the room as if to say he was not interested in me and Nanami anymore.

“Guugh..at least..call...” (Hikaru).

I tried to at least call the police.

But I had dropped my phone, and I didn't even have the strength left to pick it up.

"Mrs .. mi ..." (Mari)

My vision blurred because of my tears and fading consciousness.

But my eyes caught something Nanami hugged tightly in her chest.

"Nanami .. You're an idiot ..." (Mari)

It was a pastel pocket album.

He must have chosen that so as not to be difficult to carry around. This notebook-sized album was definitely something he was preparing to bring to a parallel world.

Nanami says that rather than some body armor, she wants to make an album with her memories of this world.

Said he was gonna miss home.

Rather than another world where he knew no one, what mattered to him were the people he valued in this world.

I stretched my trembling finger and touched it.

…In the end, Nanami goes to heaven with an album filled with memories as a girl who is afraid to miss her hometown, huh.

But I'll catch up with him soon.

I didn't manage to go with him to a parallel world, but we have been together since we were born.

If possible, God…

Please let me continue to be her childhood friend in the next world…
