Chapter 40
“Oh no, I stayed for so long just to check on my granddaughter”
“No, I don’t mind at all”
I shook my head and told him that there was no problem .
It was actually quite a fun time .
“I’m grateful to hear that, but it would be a problem if I took advantage of the favor to much… There’s just one thing that really bothers me, do you mind if I ask?”
“Sure, what’s the matter?”
“No, that thing near the front door… Was that made by you? Is that safe?”
I wondered what he was talking about, but then I realized he was talking about the other world .
It’s natural for her grandfather, a magician, to notice it, right?
And because he knows about other worlds, it’s only natural for him to wonder if it’s okay to build an entrance to another world in a place like that .
After all, his beloved granddaughter, Sasakursan, is also staying in this house .
“Yeah, that’s fine . We have all the safety measures in place . ”
“Well… can I see it with my own eyes once?”
Well, even if I say it’s safe, it would only be convincing if he checked for himself .
“Of course . What about you, Sasakursan?”
“Well… I’m not very enthusiastic, but I have to get used to being able to move when the time comes, so I’ll go . ”
I don’t mind letting him see it, and I promised to show them around casually .
Besides, it’s a good opportunity to hear directly from her grandfather, who has been to the underworld many times to purify it, about the other world .
Sasakursan only knows a certain amount of knowledge about it, but she doesn’t know much about what it’s really like, and I don’t know anything about the other world either .
So when I invited Sasakursan to join us, she said she would go while having a slight frown on her face .
From her reaction, I could tell that she was afraid of seeing the variant, the demon, that she saw last time she went there .
I’m really sorry about that time .
“Hm? It’s safe right?”
“Safe as a sturdy house, isn’t it?”
“Well, I guess we better be careful just in case . ”
Her grandfather raises an eyebrow at the conversation between me and Sasakursan, but Sasakursan’s subtle response seems to put his mind at ease .
Well, it’s safe .
In fact, there has been no problem in the past month or so, and considering that the barrier which protects the apartment in the other world has never been broken, the security measures are credible enough .
But still, there are demons, so it’s not wrong to be cautious .

“Well, they say a picture is worth a thousand words, so let’s get going”
With that, we took her grandfather with us to the otherworld apartment, which is currently a storage room .
Upon arriving at the otherworld apartment, her grandfather was wearing a thin layer of magical power on his body so that he could respond immediately to anything that might happen .
His actions were frighteningly smooth, and the magical power he was wearing could be felt only because of his proximity, but there was very little sign of it .
Perhaps it is because the control of the magical power is so high that it doesn’t needlessly radiate magical power to the surroundings .
“Hmmm… it didn’t seem the same the moment we entered . Is this built the same as the headquarters?”
“This room is fixed as such . Maybe that’s why we don’t have any demons springing up in the room . ”
“…you don’t mean to tell me, there are demons boiling outside here…or even outside of this apartment in the first place?”
“Yes, do you want to see it?”
I’m sure her grandfather, who looked around and saw at a glance that this apartment was built just like the castle at the headquarters, has a high level of ability . It probably comes from a wealth of experience and time spent studying, not like a random upstart like me .
While thinking that, I explained about the room, which made her grandfather’s eyes widen with what he heard .
I’m sure it’s not a good idea for a demon to spring up here, unlike in the headquarters .
Her grandfather nodded to the idea of taking a look at the outside of the apartment with a stern expression on his face and an even more cautious disposition .
While confirming this, I went to the living room window and change the barrier to transparent mode, explaining that you can only see through from this side and not the other side .
“This…… is……! It’s not a minor world, but a completely different world?!”

“What? That’s a different world, but…?”
“Grandfather?”
The moment he saw the scene outside the window, her grandfather’s eyes widened again, and his expression froze as he screamed out loud .
The sound is blocked out so the demons outside won’t notice us, but I didn’t understand why he was so surprised, so I can’t help but ask .
Sasakursan’s head was tilting .
The fact that this is a different world is something that was obvious to him when he passed through the door, so why was he surprised now?
Moreover, his way of being surprised was unusual .
Unlike in Sasakursan’s case, he was informed in advance that there were demons ouside, so it couldn’t have been a surprise because of that .
Why was her grandfather so surprised?
The words “minor world” and “completely different world” are probably the key .
“You don’t both know?! No, it’s normal for Yumi because of the environment she was previously in… but Yuuji! How could you not know?!”
“Well… I’ve only been able to use magic fairly recently . Before that I was just an ordinary person who didn’t know anything about magicians or anything like that, so I have no idea what magicians would know about it . ”
He questioned me while flustered, but it’s been less than two months since I came in contact with magic .
Of course, I don’t know anything about other worlds, and I don’t have the slightest idea what he was trying to say .

I’m sure I don’t know what anyone who is a magician that purifies the underworld should know .
“… Yumi”
“Grandfather, what Shinjou-kun says is true . It’s the absolute truth . More importantly, is there anything wrong with this other world?”
As expected, it was hard to believe that I was still new to magic, so I turned my gaze to Sasakursan and asked her, and she vouched for me and asked him what happened .
“Well… oh, excuse me . I’m quite disoriented . They say that if you live long enough, unexpected things happen, but not this much . Yes, it does seem that we are safe here if you look at it . That must be a certainty, since we can watch the spectacle of a demon here so close and leisurely . ”
“Yes, it is impossible for her to be harmed . ”
“Well… he’s a rather peculiar man, isn’t he? Now, what do you say we teach a promising young man a little knowledge from an old man?”
Sasakursan’s words must have finally calmed him down, and he sits down on a chair beside him, acknowledging that it is safe to be here .
He looks a little tired, but apparently he’s going to teach us about the other worlds .
Sasakursan and I both took a chair and sat down to listen .
Her grandfather looked at us and nodded and then opened his mouth .
“First of all… I see . You have some basic knowledge about the other worlds, like the underworld, right? That underworlds can occur in many places, and if left unattended, demons could leak out into this world? Good . So, in order to prevent this from happening, the basic duty of us magicians is to go to those other worlds that appeared in various places and defeat the demons, but we must not make a mistake here . In the first place, the underworld is――”
Her grandfather continues to explain, checking to see how much we know, and once he broke his sentence off, he looked at me and Sasakursan for a while to get our attention before he continued to say .
“――it’s not more than one realm”
