After all huh.
It was an answer I had already guessed halfway through.
The fact that Summoning and the Teleport are really similar.
And then, the fact that Nanahoshi was summoned.
No matter how much of an idiot I am, if you gather together this many conditions then I'll understand.
Rather, it's almost to point that I feel relieved I'm not the cause.
But, that wasn't the case for Fitts-senpai.
"You were???!"
He yelled in a loud voice which I've never normally heard, faced Nanahoshi and raised his hand.
"..That!!!?"
Nanahoshi raised the hand she had put the rings on.
The ring lit up.
Fitts-senpai's magic didn't work.
What is that ring?
"I..We... How much do you think we suffered because of that disaster! Father and mother??! It was your fault!"
The instant he realized the magic wasn't coming out, Fitts-senpai leaped towards Nanahoshi.
However, after the second ring lit up and that fist made a sound as if it hit something in mid-air.
That ring, it's a magic tool huh.
"Hey! Rudeus Greyrat, stop just watching and help me out here!"
Nanahoshi's impatient voice.
Fitts-senpai who was breathing heavily yet still throwing his fists out.
I grabbed onto his hand.
"Fitts-senpai, please calm down."
"How could I calm down with this? This person was the cause, she said it herself! How can you stay that calm! Even you, even you went through a lot of trouble!"
Fitts-senpai was agitated way beyond I've ever seen before.
Normally he always has a laid back attitude, but after all it seems he lost an important person in the teleport incident.
After five years have passed he may have cleared it up to some extent though if you put the perpetrator who caused it in front of his eyes, there's no way he could remain calm.
However, according to the story I heard, the one who caused that incident wasn't Nanahoshi.
In my previous life, I think I was present in the instant she was teleported.
In other words, you could say she as well was just dragged into it.
Ah, I see now.
Since we had the talk about those parts in Japanese.
In other words, Fitts-senpai didn't hear it.
It's not strange that he's mistaken.
"Sorry about that. The explanation wasn't enough. It doesn't seem that she came because she wanted to. In other words, she's a victim."
"Victim!? Is..is that true?"
Fitts-senpai was still breathing in stance.
However, it seems he believed my words, took a deep breath and sat on the chair.
"I'm sorry. It was a bit thoughtless of a way to put it. I'm sorry about that."
"No, it's fine, I'm sorry as well, it was so sudden."
I guess Nanahoshi put on the rings because she considered the possibility that I might attack her in a frenzy.
She's unexpectedly stubborn.
Rather, that seems like quite a convenient ring.
I wonder if it's for means of self-defense.
I want one myself.
"In any case, in regards to that incident, I don't really understand it myself. In that incident I was summoned, but by who, or with what objective, and then why that disaster happened. Those kinds of things, no one knows."
"Orsted..-san, didn't say anything about it?"
"Yeah, he didn't say anything other than this was the first time."
I see, you don't know.
Well, if these guys who call themselves Gods don't know then I'm sure it won't so simply be explained.
I do have somewhat of a feeling like the Human God [Hitogami] might have said Orsted caused it but...
Well, since it seems Orsted has that curse in operation which makes people hate him, then Hitogami as well might hate Orsted because of that curse.
Though Orsted also seems to have some personal grudge, those two don't get along with each other.
Unexpectedly, Hitogami might have some prejudice when he said it.
If I'm to completely believe in Nanahoshi's story then, I can't really imagine that Orsted caused it.
Even though she was summoned, for example, he seems to be entirely supporting the fact that she wants to return, I don't get the meaning.
"Then, why did you say you were the cause?"
"If afterwards you were to point it out you wouldn't like it right. That's why I said it ahead of time. That most likely I'm the cause. [4]
"I see now."
Rather than hiding it she says it ahead of time herself.
And then, she corrects it by actually saying that's wrong.
If you were to learn about it after I guess it would be easier to calm down.
It's a bit hard to hear.
Although, we should go with it while taking into consideration the possibility that Nanahoshi or Orsted are lying.
"However, I see, you don't know at all huh."
"I don't know. However, I have prospects with my research."
"That you'll understand the truth behind the teleport incident if you advance your research?"
"At the very least, I'll be able to attach a theoretical explanation to it."
She isn't going to assert that she'll know huh.
Rather, this is more believable.
"For that reason I need a large amount of magic power."
"I see now, then my existence is like a ferrying ship."
"A ferrying ship[5]? Fufu, I guess, that would be right."
Fitts-senpai was pouting over our conversation.
I wonder if he still doubts Nanahoshi.
Well, I'll make sure to slowly explain it to him later.
In any case, I never could have imagined that gentle Fitts-senpai would lose it that much.
He did say there was one acquaintance of his that he found but... I see, both his mother and father died as well...
It seems like it would be better to talk again after things calm down a bit.
"I understand. Nanahoshi-san. For today I haven't completely sorted things myself, another day, we'll come back to ask again. The specific details on what you need help with at that time."
"I get it. We'll do it then."
We exchanged some final short words, I lead Fitts-senpai and left that place.
