The noises of the urban city starts to hurt my ears as soon as I entered the door and this prove that I am in different world now. The world this time is an ordinary modern world but unlike previous worlds, the are many people here. As if this is just an ordinary world.
"Ouch, those noises from cars and people on the street are hurting my ears. I thought I don't have any on this doll body but it's somehow hurting my ears. I'll just go inside that alley."
The noises from the road are bothering me and making me feel uncomfortable so I decided to went inside the alley to reduce noises. The alley is somewhat clean and there are no trash but there is a small puddle in the corner. It is also a lot quieter even though it's just around the road.
"Anyway, I should just put on the mask to disguise myself. I don't want to deal with people in this doll-like appearance."
I pulled out the mask and put it on my face that I don't really have and change my appearance into a casual clothing. After I have changed my appearance, I look at myself in the small puddle.
My clothes have changed but my face is still the same as the mask. I tried to change it gain but every attempt is futile. So I just decided to change into a hoodie and put on a facemask and a pair of sunglasses on it.
"The body and clothes changed but that face is just that mask, like a mirror. At least I could cover my face. Whatever, let me just go out and ask someone about this place. Maybe I could act as someone new to here or a foreigner."
"I went back toward the street and tried to talk to a person I saw first. The noises are hurting my ears and making me feel uncomfortable. But I tried to talk to that person."
"Ah...."
The voice won't come out of me. I was just talking fine to myself and even also with Eirin but I can't seems to talk now. The person just walk passed beside avoiding me. There are many on the busy street. They are all just minding their own business but it's making me feel uncomfortable. I decided to went back to the alley.
"What is wrong with me?" I wondered. "Why couldn't I talk to anyone? What is this feeling? The voices won't come out. Maybe seeing too many people and loud noises make me feel uncomfortable."
After calming myself down and considering, I decided to come out of the alley only after there is less noise and people. Perhaps at the evening or night.
"I should tried to locate her." I concentrate my power and tried to locate her whereabout.
"She seems to be around just a few kilometers away. The alleys are also somehow connected in this city. I should get closer to her location for now."
I took a turn in the alley and went toward her location. The alleys are a bit narrow but I could go through them. After walking for a while, I reached the end of the alley and toward the road. It seems I need to cross the road. I left the alley and tried to cross the road from the crosswalk but the loud noises and people are making me feel that weird uncomfortable feeling again and I have no choice but to went back to the alley.
"This isn't working. I can bare that and wait at the crosswalk. I'll just wait until someone turn on the switch and it turn green and then run across it quickly. That seems to be the most reasonable one."
After waiting for a few minutes, someone click the button and the light turned green afterward. I used that opportunity to quickly run across the road. While running toward the other side, I slightly bumped into that person's shoulder.
"Hey watch where you are going." He said to me with pissed expression.
"Do you wanna get hit idiot. don't just run in front of my car." One of the driver braked and shouted at me. I really want to talk back at him but I don't think the voice would come out this time either.
*Pant. Pant* "So I made it after all." I said, but the noises are still bothering me and some people are watching toward me so I just went inside another alley.
After continue walking toward her location for an hour, I noticed that it's changing.
"She is moving quite fast. She's probably on a car or something. But she sure is moving toward me."
I decided to stop approaching toward her and decided to wait until she stopped. After waiting for a few minutes she stopped moving. The time is also late in the evening so the are less people in the street so I decided to finally walk along the road. The area around also has less building and vehicles so it is quieter.
"I guess I just have to take a turn here and walk for around five minutes." I said to myself and went toward her."
After a while I saw a girl in a school uniform walking away from my side. She is slightly taller than before but my sensor is telling me it's the same person. I decided to run toward her and greet her first.
"Hey,... Eirin. I finally found you. long time no see kid." I said it to her. She seems to be a bit scared.
"Sorry I don't know you. How do you know my name?" She said to me with fear in her face.
At that moment someone pushed me away from her.
"Get away from her." A young boy shouted at me.
"Haru..." Eirin said to the boy. Judging from her expression, he seems to know him well.
"You gotta be kidding me." I whispered to myself. The situation turned out to be a troublesome one. I hope I could handle it peacefully.
