Sky World Vol 1 Chapter 2.07

VOLUME 1

Chapter 2: The Quest
Part 7

Night. After Kasumi and Eri had gone off to sleep in a room next to Jun’s.

Jun, leaving the inn alone, went out for a walk in the now-empty town.

He had already finished the nighttime quests. He had also already found out which areas were dangerous and which were not. He had the extra time to walk around and did not need to openly carry a weapon.

“b.o.o.bs.”

It was Alice.

Jun stopped walking and turned.

She appeared, standing in the shadow under a building.

“Do you like big b.o.o.bs?”

“What did you say?”

“Do you prefer bigger ones over smaller ones?”

“You’re acting a little weird today, huh.”

“Jealous.”

“You’re talking like Eri. &h.e.l.lip; Alice, were you following me all day today?”

“Not really. Just a bit.”

“You usually like to be away from me. Can I ask you one thing?”

“What do you want me to do?”

“Can you find some information about the Crimson Scarf Knight a.s.sociation? I’d prefer if they weren’t doing anything big.”

“Got it. I’ll be careful.”

That was unexpected. This was the first time she accepted one of Jun’s requests.

“&h.e.l.lip; I really don’t understand you.”

“Aren’t girls with many secrets just fascinating?”

“Did you also bring Eri into this world? I think some of her personality rubbed off onto you.”

“I did not. The person who copied Sky World for her disappeared before the Birthday”

“Is he in Sky World?”

“Maybe. Feeling alone here, she looked for a way to get off this island. She saw your arrival as the perfect opportunity to do so.”

“Is it okay to give me such personal information?”

“She has no interest in seeing the ‘End of the Blue Sky’.”

Jun felt stuck. She always changed the topic whenever it came to something like that. He didn’t know what she knew, nor did he know what she was hiding.

“I don’t really know what you mean by ‘seeing the End of the Blue Sky’.”

Alice kept silent.

Jun sighed, shook his head, and though to himself, “Whatever.”

“Anyways, I’ll rely on you for information on the Crimson Scarf Knight a.s.sociation.”

Alice nodded, and just like she had appeared, she disappeared into the darkness.

Jun shrugged and looked up at the sky.

The two moons looked beautiful.

The two twin full moons shone, with pale bluish-white light, almost as if they were competing with each other.

Right. This is a different world.

A different world resembling Sky World, the game.

Whenever Jun saw the moons, he was always reminded of one thing: the day on which he first set foot in this new world.
