BXBX NOVEL Chapter 53.1 - Arrival
Chapter 53 (1/2): Arrival
I greeted the morning without any sleep.
I took out the Bible and my smartphone. I was wondering yesterday if I could do anything.
As soon as I get up, I see the Bible and Carol. It seems like she is sleeping soundly, probably because Destiny is acting as the pillow.
I checked the petrified windows and taped vents but there was no change.....Dont forget to remove them today.
Apparently, I was able to spend the night without any problems.
I wake up and get ready to the restaurant. I was thinking about going alone but something can happen there. Destiny, accompanying us can act as a bodyguard.
It entered the rucksack which was its reserved seat. It dived into the interior with a happy smile while the bag was carried by Carol.
It should be a problem if a lizard comes out but for now I want to give priority to the personal safety. Since I am able to communicate with it through words, it shoudnt take any problematic actions.
We selected a popular restaurant and enter it.
As it was a buffet, Carol was enthusiastic and a good amount of food was served on her plate. [1]
“It doesn’t matter how many times you take it so it doesn’t have to be so much at once.”
“It’s wont be just once. It’s amazing! ]
I am really impressed by her brightly shining eyes.
People around me coudnt understand her words but they are smiling at the exaggerated reaction.
I apologized for making the noise and then take a seat at the corner.
I looked around to make sure its safe. There doesnt seem to be any dull employee like yesterday.
When I put my rucksack under the desk, Destiny suddenly appeared.
“You cant be seen here. Dont come outside. Yes this.”
I gently serve the roast beef with a lot of sauce.
When it received it with both of its hands, it returned to my backpack. I am saved because of the clever man.
Like yesterday’s case of the office worker, there is no guarantee that the passengers on this ship will not have other players. The ferry/ship had more tickets for the same day so its possible to follow me and board it,
It may even be possible to sneak in with a power of a miracle.
“That’s delicious! Daddy and mom ... I want to give everyone a meal from the kingdom of God. “
Carol’s full smile turns into a lonely smile.
I thought it was okay to live with Carol and Destiny for a lifetime...but they should return to their original world.
The current situation where the boundary between the reality and other world is getting vague. Dont get me wrong.
There is no true happiness here with just one person.
“Shall I buy some souvenirs? Give it to them when you return.”
“Yeah!”
She returns to her usual smile. Carol hurriedly flattened the dishes on the plate.
You probably want to buy a souvenir soon.
I can eat the breakfast which I havent touched. Its not that I am not worried but first I need to replenish my strength. Even if I dont have any appetite, I cant do anything unless I eat.
Carol had two more refills and Destiny was given post meal fruits so both were very happy.
I bought some souvenirs at the shop and returned to my room with them.
Since its almost time to arrive at the port,I put on clothes to make me warm before leaving the ship.
This is already Hokkaido. The cold must be different from my local area.
“Be careful because it’s so cold.”
“Yes!”
She is cheerfully raising her hand but I dont know if she really understands.
There seem to be four seasons in the world of Village of Fate but even its similar to Japan, the story will change depending whether its the north or south.
I checked the room again to see if I had left anything behind. I leave the room with rucksack having Destiny in it.
The ship arrives at the port and the pier descends. Cold breeze blows at once when the doors opens. [2]
The Hokkaido breeze cools the body which had accustomed to the heat.
Even if it is cold, it will hurt if the limit is exceeded.
When I pulled Carols hand and passed through the pier, there was a white world.
White. Everything is dyed white.
“Yoshio is amazing, it’s pure white!”
Its not wonder that Carol is jumping around. If I was younger, I would have tried running on the snow as well.
It isnt snowing now but it seems to have fallen a while ago and the snow covering the ground had almost no footprints.
When I scoop it with my hands, it feels different from the local snow.
Its dry? The snow that sometimes accumulate around my hosue is a ltitle bit more....
“Can I make a snow doll?”
“okay but don’t go far away.”
I am not sure what a snow doll is but its probably the different world version of snowman.
There are lot of people right outside the ferry platform. Since there are lots of people, the Evil God players wont hang around such a risky place. I dont need to be wary.
I made sure that she doesnt jump around the road and check the bus stop timetable. I had checked it in advance but it doesnt seem to have changed.
From here, take a bus to the town and then change the bus, take a taxi after I reach the destination. That is how I am supposed to move.
The best way would be to rent a car with a license but even it you have a license, it is reckless to drive in winter of Hokkaido even if it is not snowy.
I thought about the tax from the beginning but Hokkaido is too large. All my money will be used only on the travel expenses.
In other words, the only means left is to move by bus. Money is important..

[1] A buffet is a system of serving meals in which food is placed in a public area where the diners serve themselves. A form of service à la française, buffets are offered at various places including hotels, restaurants, and many social events.
[2] A pier is a raised structure that rises above a body of water and usually juts out from its shore, typically supported by piles or pillars, and provides above-water access to offshore areas. Frequent pier uses include fishing, boat docking and access for both passengers and cargo, and oceanside recreation.
