Category: Seeking Out My Mother in Another World

Compared to causal delay, causal acceleration is far more challenging.  Perhaps it’s more accurate to say that the technique itself is simple, but the magic power it requires is immense.  The act itself is straightforward:  Reel in the threads of causality and bring a result meant to occur ten seconds later forward to just one…

When asked if I needed anything prepared, I requested milk for Chocola.  That’s not what they meant… Emishi-san and the others looked troubled, but I laughed it off.  「I don’t need any special magical tools or catalysts. If anything, I’d just appreciate a little rest and some thanks afterward. This is probably going to leave…

「First, let me explain the barrier that surrounds that place.」  We had moved to a different location.  Though we could have stayed in the corner of District Zero, it was decided that a formal report deserved a more appropriate setting.  The room we chose was a reception room located at the far end of the…

Volume 10: The Child’s Cry, the World’s Tears Chapter 53 – Imprisoned Alice The next morning, preparations began immediately.  The first and foremost task was to investigate the barrier—specifically, the magic that had frozen Watanuki-san and the Demon King in suspended time.  At a glance, it was clear that this spell functioned along the same…

We adjourned for the day.  The matters of the rare existence and Watanuki-san, to be dealt with from the Zero District of the castle, would require meticulous planning from here on out. There was nothing left to discuss in that meeting, and certainly no inclination to enjoy tea and build rapport with the bloodline supremacists. …

「If the six children who carry on the bloodline remain alive… If the hopes and dreams are properly inherited… I want this to bring joy. That’s what I thought.」  Miyako-san’s soliloquy left us without words.  At the core of it—her methods fundamentally clash with ours. Forcing Karen to marry some stranger for the sake of…

Chapter 52 – Two Millennia of Solitude, And Now an Eternity Unfolds A remnant of a rare species from two thousand years ago stood frozen in time.  Beside it, equally motionless, was a black-haired elf.  Watanuki Alice—once a girl who transmigrated here from Japan alongside Four Seasons-san and the others. Through the world-altering grand magic,…

Beyond the massive iron door lay yet another wall.  Its surface was gray and rough, like cement. The upper part didn’t connect to the ceiling, giving the impression of a cube. It resembled a matryoshka doll, with a box set inside another room.  「The core structure is made of an iron cage reinforced with hardened…

After giving an overly formal bow, Yuzuriha Silkiya-san straightened up and flashed a broad grin.  「Well, that’s how it is. Sorry for causing you so much trouble.」  Her once detached and unreadable expression transformed into an oddly familiar, warm smile, like that of a neighborhood oneesan—or maybe, an obaasan.  「…Hmm? Did you just think something…

「You call yourselves the Founding Six Clans, such an ostentatious title for a lineage that’s barely lasted two thousand years. Frankly, I don’t see any value in preserving such a paltry bloodline. What’s far more important is Karen’s happiness and her ability to live her life freely.」  「What did you just say, you bastard…?!」  My…

「What? No thanks.」  Karen tightened her grip on my arm and declared with firm disdain.  But the other party wasn’t the type to falter or retreat so easily.  「How childish. But one should not throw away their life on a whim of youth.」  With a low chuckle, Miyako Vueda seemed entirely unbothered.  And neither were…

Chapter 51 – White Ash, Its Guts  They told me I was allowed to carry my sword.  I had expected to leave it behind, so this came as a surprise—but a welcome one. Both Ridill and Kannagi are far too important to me to entrust even to a lodging house.  For the record, my combat…

In the southeastern part of Sidera.  A quiet, upscale residential area stretches out in a district connected by a single street to the central part of the city, though somewhat removed from the Void Forest. This is a high-priced neighborhood favored by high-ranking adventurers and executives of trading companies.  Within this exclusive area stood a…

The Elven Nation of Alfheim is a city constructed upon a floating island, yet it adheres to the concepts of cardinal directions—north, south, east, and west—as absolute constants, much like the surface world.  In other words, no matter where the island drifts or what path it follows through the skies, its orientation remains fixed relative…

The Fourth District, with its sprawling farmlands, and the Third District, where buildings stand densely and orderly. Compared to these, the Second District had yet another distinct character.  Feels like the suburbs of Japan…  That was my immediate impression. In other words, despite the wide area, there were very few buildings.  Nature was abundant everywhere—trees,…

The outskirts of the floating island—the Fourth District—not only housed farmland but also livestock facilities. Unfortunately, due to quarantine restrictions, foreign visitors were prohibited from entering.  They raised standard livestock for this world, such as cattle, sheep, goats, and wild boar hybrids, along with something unique to Alfheim—a hippogriff ranch. I’d only ever seen hippogriffs…

Chapter 50 – The Garden of the Blue Sky The room service dinner we ordered was exceptionally delicious.  The food culture of the Elven Nation of Alfheim appears to have a remarkable diversity in the grains it utilizes. Corn was prominent among the street foods, but beyond that, there were millet, foxtail millet, barnyard millet,…

As we ventured out into the city again, I noticed something.  「It’s actually pretty warm…」  That’s when I realized—the environment here is remarkably well-regulated.  「This floating island is at quite a high altitude, isn’t it?」  「Yeah. Higher than most mountains around.」  When Ji Liz brought us here, the sheer ascent was astonishing. From the ground,…

Although we’ve decided to take on the request, it’s not something we can execute right away. Between scheduling, negotiations with other factions, and various adjustments, it seems it’ll take two or three days before we can gain access to the castle.  「We’ll contact you once everything is in place. Until then, I’ll leave you in…

「Sui-kun. I want you to head to the core of the castle. The innermost part of the Sky Castle, District Zero—there lies the very cause of the 『Outbreak』」  It wasn’t me who reacted first to Emishi-san’s words. It was my mother.  「…Are you saying this was a man-made disaster?」  Short but firm, quiet yet heavy. …
