On the 7th day of living in the countryside, a notification sounded from my smartphone.
Huh? Could it be a connection? I hurriedly opened the screen, and there was a message from my father.
「Are you alive? How's country life? Since I haven't heard from you much, I was wondering if something special had happened, so I decided to get in touch.」 As I read that message, for some reason, I felt like telling my father the truth.
「Well, you might not believe it, but... it seems like our whole house ended up in a different world.」 I replied, and without a moment's delay, I received a response.
「I see, I figured that might be the case. It looks like this time, you were the chosen one.」 After sending my reply, without a moment's delay, I received a response.
「I see, I figured that might be the case. It looks like this time, you were the chosen one.」
Huh? Wait, what? Dad, don't just respond seriously like that... Is he joking, what's going on here? I don't think this is the right place to make those kinds of jokes.
「What do you mean by 'I see'?」 With trembling hands, I typed that message. In response, I received another message almost immediately.
「Dad, well, it's something your granddad used to talk about when he was alive. He said this house is connected to a different world.」
「You actually believed that story?」
「I didn't believe it until I saw it with my own eyes. It happened during the summer break when I was in the second year of junior high. There was a magical beast in the courtyard, and your Grandpa swiftly dealt with it using a hatchet.」
「Is that so...」
「Yes, it was a Big Sangria or something like that, a magical beast resembling a wild boar. I can still remember how delicious it was. I'd love to have it again.」 Dad, well, there's a ton of that magical beast meat crammed in our industrial refrigerator now. I couldn't quite say that.
「I've inherited this house, so I was hoping that perhaps, during my stay here, the connection to the different world would happen. But it seems you're the chosen one.」
「What do you mean?"
「It's not just anyone. Dad mentioned that the other world chooses the people.」 On what basis, though? Come on, other world, choose my father who's been waiting for this.
「Can I go there Dad?」
「I think you'll be fine. Dad seems to have gone back and forth. There doesn't seem to be a fixed period, so you'll probably be able to return eventually.」 Is it alright to be so calm about this? Your daughter is in another world, Dad.
「Well, at least now I know what's going on. I'll tell your mother about it too.」
「Wait... hold on! Are you going to tell Mom too? She'll think we're crazy. I don't want her to think I ended up in a weird world due to a bad breakup.」 Feeling rushed, I typed this out, and the unbelievable response came.
"Don't worry. When your mom first came to this house, it happened that it was connected to another world... As a wedding gift, she received honey from the Fairy Queen. Well then, be sure to take care of your health."Huh? Wedding gift from the Fairy Queen!?
I can't make any sense of it. Is there something wrong with our family lineage? Is this alright?
After that, my phone didn't receive any more messages. I was left in shock by this unexpected revelation, and the day passed with me in a daze.
