The Hero Who Returned Remains the Strongest in the Modern World Chapter 22

Side: Lela Sakaguchi

My name is Lela Sakaguchi.

Right now, I'm in front of my classmates Morishita Daiki's house.

If you ask me what I'm doing; I'm preparing an ambush.

And, he's a master in aikido which is the so called Asia's secret martial arts.

Adding Asia's secret martial arts to this me who's a manifestation of the west's exorcism technology… I'll be unmatched!

This will make me unable to fall behind Abeno Kaguya.

Muuu! Found him!

"Wait a moment, you! Just teach aikido to me, already!"

I pointed at him with my right index finger while I had my left hand at my waist.

"A… Sakaguchi-san."

And, my eyes met with the woman who was next to Daiki.

"… Lela Sakaguchi."

"Why are you going with Morishita Daiki to his house?"

I glared Abeno Kaguya but she just smiled.

"You won't understand since you have no friends, however."

"Mumu? Friends?"

"Today is Morishitkuns 17th birthday. Though, you can't understand the idea of birthday parties since you have no friends, but."

"I can't follow what you're saying."

"Birthday home party. Well, I think that it's a world that you can't understand since you've no friends."

She was chuckling while her gaze was like she was looking down on me.

"N-Now that I remember… Somehow, both of you are strangely intimate with each other? Just a while ago, both of you ate lunch together."

Abeno Kaguya's long hair had been brushed up.

"Do you understand? As I thought, you do understand? Oh my, it's difficult- It's difficult to not be alone~. Let's have an honest talk? I want lone time, too~ It's seriously exhausting having phone calls from friends~ *Cough*. You probably don't understand it since you've no friends, however."

Rather, you're annoying.

So basically she's high because she made friends and she's now boasting to me?

Since earlier she had put emphasis on the words "you've no friends."

"Therefore, we're going to celebrate Morishitkun's birthday at his house hence can the "Outsider" leave from here?"

"Senpai came here by her own devices… It's not like I want to have something like a party… Senpai's the only who's coming anyway."

Morishita Daiki addressed it to me.

"Rather, Abeno-senpai is right too, however… You girls what are you doing… Aren't you girls like the heroines in the old light novels? The default setting is like superpowers in a school and underground world…"

"Wh-What! Originally, I don't even know much about light novels! At best, I've memorized the japanese language from light novels but I've not read an exaggerated amount of them!"

"I think you've read enough that the amount can be said that it's not exaggerated. And, leaving that aside, Sakaguchi-san. Senpai wanted to eat at my house, no matter what…so, I sent a mail to my mother at lunch break and she got really hyped about it and began preparing meals for a party level. Sakaguchi is currently living alone, right? If it's fine with you, won't you eat with us?"

And my stomach rumbled.

Certainly, there has been a strangely appetizing scent coming from the inside of the house.

"Morishitkun? This had been given only to me to evolve from just being mail friends… It should've been a friendly event."

"Don't create mysteriously sounding words like *friendly event* out of nowhere!"

"I'm strongly against this woman participating in the friendly event."

"Rather, originally we're just simple message friends, right?"

Abeno Kaguya's energy disappeared before my eyes.

It was to a level where ectoplasm was coming out of her mouth and I slightly laughed.

"Well, I have to eat and then I'll have a conversation with you about aikido practice. I understand! I give you the privilege to eat with me!"

"Why are you acting so self-important…"

And Morishitkun's house opened.

"Welcome home, Daiki-chan! Welcome, everyone!"

A black haired 9 year old loli was there.

She wore an apron and was smiling.

By the way, her face was unreasonably cute.

*Flip* *Flap*

Mine and Abeno-senpai mouths were opening and closing like a fishes in an aquarium.

And then me and abeno-senpai were altering our gazes between Morishitkun and the lolita.

"What's wrong?"

After taking several deep breaths Abeno Kaguya asked Morishita Daiki.

"Morishitkun? Did you invite even your relatives child for your birthday?"

"No, I didn't?"

"Morishitkun's sister is 13, right?"

"That's correct, so?"

"There's no impression of a sister… So, who's she?"

Finally, Abeno Kaguya asked the main point.

Her appearance is of 9 year olds. No matter how she's explained there's just too many unreasonable things about her.

Morishita Daiki was silent for a bit.

And then he breathed deeply and talked.

"She's my mother?"

And then thought for a bit and hit his palm.

"Well, my mother's appearance looks young after all."

Make-up has limits, too!

Abeno Kaguya was contemplating something and then sighed.

"Hey, Morishitkun?"

"What is it?"

"Earlier you said that we were from a light novel, however…"

"Yes, what about it?"

"You're personal history and this person… Putting them together…"

"Yes?"

"The result is your existence is the most that came from a light novel!"
