The Traveler: Book 2

Chapter 23: Debriefing

1st POV
World 0 | year 1 | month 1 | day 10

Early the next morning, after I had a peaceful after and an early night. I wake, feeling bloody confused as hell.

Wait, so.. That is sad but.. Huh?! That.. I.. What even happened that day? The before seems alright, then you have.. THAT. I don't wish to think of THAT.

Soon after letting my mind process the fact, that I did not want to think of the last day for a bit.

Reality shifting and the joys it brings. Wooo.

I sarcastically think as I prepare for the debriefing, or how I have come to realise it as, the interrogation.

I mean it's great for reviewing what happened and great stories. Though, it has been come also a tradition in the making and can honestly seem a bit much at times.

I think as this only my second time doing it.

I've gotten dressed by now and head across, the lovely snow.

Maybe, I should try to dial down the sarcasm. Does being around Saiki do this to you? Probably not, I probably just forgot how to dial it back, after not having to.

Into the mansion, I go. Taking off my big jacket at the front hallway, heading to the kitchen. Only to find and to my shock. Sebastian, with a full plate of pancakes, made up.

But I only taught him once, and cooked it twice. I can't tell, is the multiverse trying to make confused or is this just how things are?

I sit down and have some of the pancakes, trying to get my normal processing, functioning brain back. The food somewhat helped and so we head to the sitting area where I am. Now about to start telling of my time away.

"Okay. So, I first arrived in the snowy region of Russia. Only to basically fly straight to Japan, be taken to family friend's house and then told that I will be staying there for now on." I start.

"That's quite a bit." Sebastian sweat drops.

"I guess.. Moving on, I am taken around the town by Saiki, oh, and by the way, it's his house I'm staying at. I also have this thing, where I am trying to have him never know about my quirk." I continue.

"That sounds a bit unhealthy." He comments.

"Yeah, it is a bit at times. Though it is fun to mess with him. Which I've done a few times. Then, I go through a whole semester and holidays before returning to school. But it felt like barely 3 months, to me. But was actually closer to being more than 5 months, which seems insane." I agree.

"Like the episodes in a way." Notan comments.

"That's actually the best way to think about it. Overall it was main just normal school stuff, and the portal incident that happened." I add, and turn way a little.

"Portal incident?" Sebastian inquires like a parent, pulling apart there kids story.

"Yeah, it just left me feeling rather.. confused, I think. I still don't know how to really explain it. One minute I was angry and covering two people with ice and one in particular in snow, before being dragged back to Saiki K. Reality and then having to go to school. To which, I confused Saiki and came back here." I finish.

"What?" He says looking confused.

"I don't know, honestly. I'll see, how I go another day." I respond before getting up and leaving a confused Sebastian behind.
