～ Story ～

"Next is a young lady who's participating with us for the first time today.
Do you have any stories of mysterious, unprecedented experiences?"

"Oh, yes.
My name is Maribel.
Everything I'm about to tell you is a mysterious,
abnormal experience that I've really had."

A murmur went up from the audience.
Was it the otherworldly aura Merry emitted,
or simply surprise at the fact that this young girl was the one speaking?

Merry told tales of her various experiences.

Of peeking into another world from a graveyard.
Of wandering in an otherworldly bamboo forest.
Of looking out at the cosmos from a satellite eroded by greenery.

Of always being attacked by bizarre creatures in these other worlds.
And finally, of awakening just as she was saved by someone, and having returned to the world she came from.

A tale of otherworldly adventure, perfectly fitting for this venue.
However, the bar's atmosphere was subtly heavy.

The reason for that became obvious with a single utterance from the man claiming to be Dr. Latency.

"Those are all stories from Swallowstone Naturalis Historia, you know.
You're supposed to tell us about your own experiences here."
