Mysterious Girl

"So… what should I do?"

Inside his own room at home, Shinji is glancing in the direction of his bed.

"… Mu."

To be precise, he was looking at the girl sitting on the bed.

"…"

A girl, so beautiful to the extent that she looked handcrafted, was looking at the room back and forth with a dazed expression.

Although she was wearing the jacket he had on earlier, she was not wearing anything underneath that.

Every time she moved, he shamelessly glimpsed her dazzling and glossy skin.

That's right. It had been an hour since that mysterious explosion.

Shinji had inconceivably brought the girl found at the center of the explosion back to his room.

"...No."

He shook his head back and forth in an attempt to deny the dangerous thoughts roaming in his imagination.

He might be flirty but not a scumbag… maybe… Just don't bother this.

While he was repeating such excuses within the interface of his mind, he vaguely remembered what just had occurred an hour ago.

…

In front of her, his mind got blank for a second.

Remembering that feeling, he felt rather scared because if he stuck in that state agajn, his consciousness might never appear.

Fortunately, he was able to recover, if not, his worry 'might' happen.

Looking at her, he wanted to know if she knew something about what happened to him but seeing her state, naked in the middle of a calamity area, he didn't take that as important right now.

He thought to take her to her parents but she couldn't talk.

'It might be the cause of the earlier explosion that gives her too much shock.'

Although this is the first time, he didn't get flustered when he looks at her naked body.

It's like this is normal for him.

He's getting weird to himself but this is not the time to think about that.

Still, he couldn't look away from her because even though an explosion happened earlier, her skin showed no traces of any scars.

'Is she a special girl caught by a secret society of evil?'

The scenario of being placed naked within a cylindrical pod is something he immediately thought of since this was often seen in Sci-fi films.

Another imaginary idea that comes to his head is that the previous explosion was due to an experimental failure by this clandestine group and she, while being trapped underground, happened to escape by chance.

'…Ah, it really doesn't matter why already.'

He shook his head to discard this anime-like plot that had developed in his head.

Then he removed his outer jacket to cover the girl because she might catch a cold at this rate.

! ?

The moment the coat landed on her shoulders, the girl's eyes jolted in surprise, with her entire body began to tremble slightly.

"Sorry, did I scare you?"

He tries not to look at her body because it's rude if he continues.

The girl's eyes flickered while blinking as she began to pull on the coat hanging down her shoulders.

"…"

Eventually, after she seemed to understand that it was something warm, the girl made a relaxed expression.

"Can you walk? No, it should hurt to walk barefoot, right? If you don't mind, I can carry you. Anyway, let's clear it out from here. Do you know where your house is..."

"…?"

Hearing his words, the girl stared at him with a startled look.

He felt that she didn't understand but he still bent down to squat next to the girl.

…

Such were the events leading to the present.

He initially wanted to bring the girl to a hospital.

However, while carrying the girl, he soon walked a few blocks forward toward a building still standing.

There, he found that the town had fallen into a quagmire comparable to the end of the world.

It was a matter of course if thought calmly.

Since without any prior indication, a space ranging from tens of kilometers had been desolated.

Shock waves emanating from the fringes also destroyed the surrounding environment, resulting in a huge number of casualties.

As a result, the nearest large hospitals that should have accommodated for them were also flattened by the previous explosion.

With the situation being in such a state of mayhem, he thought for a moment before deciding to choose his own house as a refuge for the girl to take a break in.

There ought to be nothing strange with this decision... definitely…

Although his house is a family of four, his parents had been away from home for a long time now due to a business trip.

There shouldn't be any issues with resting here for the time being—

"─Niisama! Are you alright?"
