Chapter 31.

Chapter 31.

In discussions about who will go with Nila to the "Empty World", we came to the conclusion that they will go with her: Akishito – me, Kaji – because he has already been there, Mika – because she is Nila's sister, Karu – because she wanted to find out what happened in that world and what her alternative version was doing there. Well, there was the last card, which we gave by lot to Fukishito.

After the final choice, we went to an empty world. We found ourselves in the city, near the hospital, and the street was no longer as dark and gloomy as Kaji had described to us. The world already resembled more or less similar to ours, only in which the weather is constantly cloudy. Such an atmosphere caused me some strange feelings of longing and loneliness.

As I got closer to the hospital, I saw an elf who approached Kaji and started asking him something. At first I didn't hear, but as soon as I approached, it immediately became clear to me what they were talking about.

— How is Akishito, whom you told me about, alive at least? Healthy?

- Yes, here he is standing next to you, but that's what our trouble is… Akishito's friend, Nila, was injured and lost consciousness, the book informed us that she would receive healing in your world, so we sent her here.

- Ahem, ahem, I see, I see… You know… I just recently organized this hospital and now my organization is also saving people's lives. And recently a girl was brought to us, who was lying somewhere near the playground in poor condition. After the examination, we realized that her condition was very serious, so we left her in a separate room.

- Can you give the characteristic signs of this girl - I said to make sure that it is Nila who is lying here.

— Well, she was with blue hair, wearing a black hoodie and trousers, about as tall as you, Akishito.

- Yes, that's her. Can you please take us to her.

- Well, you just see yourself quietly, now it's an hour for rest in our hospital.

In the end, he led us to a ward that was really separate from everyone else.

There was complete silence in the corridor and you could hear us walking *top-top*. Most of the noise was heard from Miki and Karou's shoes. Fukishito was wearing sneakers, just like me, and Kaji was with us, and the elf was wearing incomprehensible shoes at all.

When I reached Nila's office, I quickly flew into it and saw that Nila was still unconscious… It is quite difficult to observe a person when he is in a bad condition. I can imagine how hard it was for Nila herself when I was unconscious and lost my memory altogether. It must have been even harder for her to bear than it is for me now. After a few minutes, I told the others that I would go outside to get some fresh air. Naturally, I did so.

Outside, the weather naturally did not change, the leaves on the trees were somehow gloomy, dry. I came and sat on the swing, which stood on the playground, where children played and enjoyed life in a world where there is not even such a sun…

After a couple of minutes, a girl ran up to me and said:

— Why are you sad, uncle? Did something bad happen?

- Yes, it happened, very bad… My friend is in the hospital, in a bad condition…

- Don't be sad, everything will be fine, I guarantee it to you… We have very good doctors, they will definitely help.

- I would like to believe it…

And so, Kaji came up to me from behind and called out to that girl.

- Hey, Waka, come here! - that girl came back to the swing.

— You're from the royal family, why are you walking here? Did your parents let you?

- Allowed. And what? Doubt it?

A shout came from the corner of the street: "Waka, where are you, why did you run away again?"

Apparently she still wasn't allowed to walk – I thought and grinned, looking at yours. Eh... how difficult it must be for her to live here… And to all the people here…

I continued to sit in despair and think about something, just not about the fact that maybe Nila will die soon. My thought got to the point where I wondered if Ari was really dead… And the book answered me this question: "Time will tell." And how to understand all this? Is he still dead or alive... damn… I saw for myself that she died, well, it can't be that someone just revived her.

Finally I got off the swing and went to get ready for the night somewhere. I found myself near the hotel, which was the tallest among all. On the street, near this hotel, some gossip was heard about some "Green-haired girl"… Apparently someone saw Kara and mistook her for the impostor who pretended to be her. After going to the hotel itself, I saw that my whole company was sitting and reading magazines in the corridor of the first floor. It was as quiet as the hospital. It was really strange, because the hotel is so big, and of the visitors… Just us? And again I met that elf here. Kaji kind of called him Zetsu.

- Hey Zetsu, so this is also your place, that's a coincidence… By the way, why is it so empty and quiet here?

- It's just that when they saw the green-haired girl, everyone thought that she was the one who was fixing up the mess recently here, but in fact it turned out to be not her at all, although the appearance is very similar.

- Sorry again for the inconvenience! Karou shouted, flipping through another page of the magazine.

The magazine they were reading was news, it told about what had happened earlier, including the fact that an execution had taken place over that fake. And there was even news that a rift had been opened, with the help of which all people can move back to our world. But because of the doubt, no one dared to join there. I knew it was really a work pass, because Kaji made it. And besides, what is there to be afraid of…

Finally, after reading the magazine to the end, we went through the rooms. But only two rooms were free, or rather, all were free… But the doors were closed, and of course there were no keys, since everyone ran away without even having time to hand over the keys back.

There was only one bed in the rooms, and accordingly, tonight I will have to spend the night with one of the girls… The girls themselves were embarrassed to talk about it, but I had to tell them about it myself, because I need to decide quickly, otherwise I was terribly sleepy. In general, the girls decided among themselves that Karu would sleep with me, and Mika and Fukishito went to their room. Karou, on the other hand, was embarrassed to enter my room and tried to find at least one more free room. But this only caused a siren in the hotel, which Zetsu immediately turned off and ran to us. He explained that exactly, the other rooms are closed. Then Kara just had to put up with it and go to bed with me.

And all this, of course, did not just end like that…
