[B]"Heh."[/B] Noboyuki let out when he heard Rena ask him whether or not he hated his own world. [B]"Hey now, I didn't say I hated it. If anything, I thought it was boring, but that didn't really mean that I didn't like the world. I lived in blissful ignorance of all of those facts and, to be honest, it is easier to remember the bad things rather than the good things."[/B] Well, after all, it came to mind quicker the bad things about his world rather than the good things. Still, it seemed they had their fair share of problems. [B]"As long as it didn't have anything to do with me, I was happy. Unfortunately, every human contributed to those problems, in one way or the other. Most people are like me, I'm sure. As long as it doesn't affect you, you can ignore it."[/B] 

Noboyuki gazed into the distance, thinking. Yeah, that was pretty much how he was in his own world, if a bit hypocritical. He shook his head. [B]"Well, at the very least, I have a purpose here that I can't turn a blind eye to."[/B] Of course, he was talking about the prophecy of the hero. If he was chosen for one thing or the other, then he'd just have to fulfill that purpose and then get back to his own world, back to his dull life. [B]"It's not that I didn't have any loved ones back in my own world, I had my family and a few friends, but, well, no matter what, I always thought my life lacked some thrill, ya know? I think here I've gotten a taste of that. Maybe, when I get back, I can finally settle down once and for all."[/B]

He lifted an eyebrow when Rena said that about the village, and then took into a light jog. Noboyuki went behind her, though not jogging and merely walking at a bit faster pace. [B]"All right, let's do it. I don't think my food has anything to comply about right now."[/B]
