“Where is this…?”

Where could this be? Nearby, towering gray walls loomed, alongside neatly stacked piles of square stones.

Perhaps, is this the outer wall of the town that I felt so distant from just a moment ago? Which means… um, in other words—

“As expected of you, sir! Look, those rascals from earlier now look so far away!”

While I was bewildered, Isezaki-san, who had been exhausted just a moment ago, was now pointing excitedly at the wilderness.

Indeed, in the distance, there were three tiny figures, looking lost and confused. It seems like we’ve escaped the danger.

Seeing that, I breathed a sigh of relief, feeling reassured. Being chased after criminals like that was, of course, a first-time experience for me. I’m glad it ended safely.

“Isezaki-san, was that my magic just now?”

I had felt the activation of magical power within me just before. I believe that was indeed using magic. Isezaki-san nodded firmly.

“Yes, of course. I think it was probably ‘Jump Warp.’ I’ve heard it’s a magic that teleports you within visible range.”

“I see. I definitely felt like I was looking at this outer wall just before jumping.”

It seems I did manage to use magic after all. And it was based on the vague image I had, just as Isezaki-san said.

So, I’m not going to get conceited and think I’m a genius, but still, it feels good. I felt a sense of achievement that I haven’t felt in a while.

By the way, the last time I felt this sense of achievement was probably when I got hired at my current company. I was full of hope back then…

However, as I was indulging in such sentiments, Isezaki-san, unusually, pulled my sleeve as if urging me.

“Sir, sir! They say strike the iron while it’s hot. Before you forget that feeling from earlier, let’s try ‘Jump Warp’ once more!”

It seemed that Isezaki-san’s magic lesson was still ongoing. Despite what had just happened, her mental resilience seemed quite strong. I can’t let myself be outdone as her elder.

“Yeah, you’re right. Then, let’s aim for that pile of stones over there…”

The target was the neatly stacked stones standing right next to the outer wall. I enveloped my whole body with my magical power, and—activated it.

“Whoa, whoa, whoa!”

The next moment, I was warping onto the pile of stones.

I momentarily felt like I was going to lose my balance, but I steadied myself and waved to Isezaki-san below. She returned the gesture, hopping up and down.

I warped again, back to where Isezaki-san was.

“You’ve mastered it! Truly splendid, sir! As I said, you’re also on ‘this side’!”

Isezaki-san puffed out her chest proudly with a somewhat smug look. She seemed even happier than I was.

And having experienced the activation of magic and its power, I was convinced of one thing.

“I probably ended up in this other world because I ‘Jump Warped’ to it, right?”

“I think that’s likely. However, ‘Jump Warp’ is a magic that teleports within visible range. Suddenly ‘Jump Warping’ to another world seems somewhat unnatural… It seems like something is missing.”

Furrowing her brows, Isezaki-san pondered for a while. But I also remembered something about that.

“Isezaki-san, let’s stop practicing magic for now. Could you guide me around the town? I want to see the stalls and stuff. I’m getting hungry too.”

“Well, if that’s the case, leave it to me. I often feasted at stalls in my childhood! Come, this way!”

If my assumptions are correct, our return to Japan is just around the corner. I want to sightsee around the town while I still can.

I hurriedly followed Isezaki-san’s brisk pace, advancing towards the entrance of the town.
