Many thanks to those who read and reviewed this fic. I really appreciated it and this gave me inspiration to work on the next chapter and here the two British boys are about to explore this world that appeared to be the Muggle world, but would soon learn that this isn't what it appeared to be, and while Scorpius attempts to blend in this strange place called Japan, Albus will be shown and where he ended up…
Well then, read on and enjoy!
As the Guardians started to chase their targets, Scorpius backed away as he watches the chase commencing, and now he is all alone as the Guardians are mobilized and went after Masaru and the Kamen Rider.
Gentoku walked a bit forward and asks his aides if there are anyone else here, which his aides said that so far there are none, other than Banjou and the Kamen Rider. Gentoku nodded and instructed his aides to use lethal force if needed in order to stop the two escapees from getting far.
The aide then asks what would happen if the two escapees get killed, which Gentoku harshly responded that it does not matter as long as they are brought in.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes I am."
"But what if those got killed…"
"Who cares? If they break that easily then they are no worth!"
"…"
"Proceed as instructed!"
"Y-yes, sir…"
"…"
As Gentoku is about to leave, he just noticed Scorpius and wondered if the teen wizard witnessed everything, and sensing trouble, Scorpius began feigning innocence and asked if Banjou is a wanted criminal, and somehow Gentoku took the bait, believing that Scorpius is unaware and tells him that Banjou is an escaped criminal who was convicted of murder.
Scorpius, having witnessed everything pretended to be dumbfounded and claimed that Banjou has completely fooled him, and apologized, which Gentoku said it is okay and advised him to be more careful and be mindful of strangers.
"Then Mr. Banjou is…?"
"Yes. A convicted murderer, and he will lie his way out."
"I didn't know. Had I known…I would have…"
"You didn't know."
"I'm sorry, sir…I…"
"It's okay. Just be more careful."
"I will, sir."
"Good to hear."
Gentoku then tells Scorpius to go home, saying it is for his own safety, and Scorpius nodded as he walked away, though Gentoku eyed him as he had a feeling that what Scorpius claimed may not be true and whispered to his assistant, Nariaki Utsumi, to keep a close, watchful eye on Scorpius just to be sure, which Utsumi nodded.
"Utsumi…carefully trail that boy."
"Are you sure? He doesn't look like he…"
"Just to be sure. I have a feeling that he may have taken what he is told."
"And what if that boy is…?"
"You know what to do."
"Very well."
"Good. Now go."
"Yes, sir."

Ch. 5: Kita ni zashō
Scorpius began to walk the streets and pondered carefully on where to go, as this is the first time he is in Japan, and has no idea where to start and who to approach, given what he witnessed a while ago, and realized that the government officials here cannot be trusted, and while walking, he can sense that Utsumi is secretly trailing him, and had to think of a way to shake him off.
He calmly walked to a corner before hiding behind a parked car, and there Utsumi is rather taken aback at losing sight of the British boy, and he frantically searched the area, failing to take note of the parked car as Scorpius hid underneath the car, watching Utsumi frantically looking for his target.
After a few minutes, Utsumi called Gentoku and told him that he lost sight of Scorpius, though Gentoku said it is okay, and told him to report back to the hideout, and tells him not to let Scorpius know that they are onto him to avert any suspicion.
"Are you sure, sir?"
"Yes. Forget the boy and head back."
"What if I…"
"In case you ran into him…subdue him and bring him with you. Until then, head back."
"What about Ryuga Banjou?"
"The Guardians will deal with him."
"Very, well sir. Will be heading back."
"Good."
After that, Utsumi leaves the scene, and once the coast is clear, Scorpius came out from hiding and sighed in relief, and now he has to think of a way to get back to England, but also find out what happened to Albus, unaware that the second son of Hary Potter is somewhere within Japan, and both boys have no idea that they somewhat ended up in a different Muggle world that is vastly different from the real one as this Japan is divided into three territory:
- Touto
- Hokuto
- Seito
-x-
Meanwhile, the scene shifts to Hokuto, where you can see Albus walking around, lost and confused, as he is unfamiliar at the surroundings he is in, and he noticed that something foreboding is going on here, as Hokuto is a province-like area where farmers live and tended to their crops and everything else, unlike in Touto, which is like a capital city filled with buildings and financial hubs.
Albus passed by several farm-like areas, where he is quite shocked to see that every crops in most of its farmland are rendered infertile, resulting in a famine. Albus was quite shocked at seeing the farmers and their families suffered due to the economic collapse and the hardships.
After walking around for almost an hour, Albus sat on a huge rock as he is quite exhausted, and a family of four, seeing the exhausted foreigner, offered him shelter and food, which Albus politely accepted, and soon he is given hospitality and he thanked the farmer and his wife for the kind help.
"Come in…we'll give you food."
"Don't be shy, lad."
"Thank you."
"You must be tired."
"it's okay. You may rest here for now."
"Is it okay, sir…ma'am? Won't I be…"
"No, of course not."
"We welcome anyone who are in need."
"…"
Out of curiosity, Albus asked the farmer what happened here and why every farmland's crops are rendered infertile, as well as what is the huge, glowing wall that looked like a prison wall, and there the farmer explained to Albus about the Skywall, and the disaster that happened ten years ago, which surprised the young British boy, as he never recalled ever reading it on the newspaper before his and Scorpius' encounter with Delphini.
What Albus did not know is that he and Scorpius ended up on a parallel Muggle world and is currently in Japan, that has been split into three territories. There the farmer told him about the situation here, like the strict immigration laws, the hardship here and that most of the residents here try to secretly leave Hokuto and attempted to get asylum at its bordering territories like Touto and Seito.
Albus was somewhat a bit confused as he knows that Japan is a single country, and hearing that this country is split into three is something he did not understand, but then the farmer's wife came and told her husband that Guardians and soldiers are coming here, and suspected that they might have received report that Albus might be here.
The farmer then led Albus to a closet and told him to hide here as he and his wife will stall the soldiers and urged him to stay here and not make a noise, stating that he cannot guarantee his safety should Albus is seen on sight.
"Stay here. And don't make a noise."
"But…why…?"
"The government here in Hokuto is too strict, and will apprehend anyone who are here illegally. Make no mistake, they either deport the captured or even imprison them without trial."
"Seriously, sir?"
"Yes. so for your own safety, stay here and wait till I will tell you when it is safe to come out."
"…"
"Trust me on this."
"Very well, sir…"
Nodding, Albus hid inside the closet filled with clothes, and as the farmer and his wife are pretending to carry on with their daily lives, the Hokuto army soldiers came and knocked on the door, and the farmer answered, where the soldiers asked if they happened to see a foreigner passing by here and told him that if any are seen, he/she must be surrendered to the authorities.
The farmer feigned innocence and said that he hasn't seen one and also said it is unlikely that would happen given the Skywall and all, and the soldier said that there are no exceptions, and reminded the farmer that he can be arrested if proven that he and his family are harboring any suspicious persons, which the farmer assured that he is not doing anything like that.
"May we remind you, sir…if you are found out that you are hiding any…"
"I assure you…we do not hide any suspicious persons. We are barely making a living here…"
"No exceptions. That is that."
"Yes, of course…"
"If you see any suspicious persons, let us know."
"Yes, we will."
"Then we're off."
"Good day to you all."
After that, the soldiers left, and following them are the robotic Guardians, and once they are out of sight, the farmer slowly led Albus out of the closet, and told the British boy that he has to stay here for now as it is dangerous for him to loiter the streets, as the Hokuto army are out to apprehend any ILLEGAL ALIENS here even if they are also Japanese.
Albus became quite alarmed as he felt that the situation is bordering on discrimination, which the farmer said that this has been going on for 10 years and said that he wished that the Skywall never happened in the first place, and told him that he should stay here for now, and promised that he will see if he could find a way to get Albus out of Hokuto.
The young wizard nodded and thanked the farmer for the help and generosity, which the farmer said it is nothing, and stated that he has been planning to get himself and his family out of Hokuto, reasoning that he is fed up with the Hokuto Prime Minister for exploiting the poor and prioritizing military funding instead of helping the farmers. Albus became worried about this and offered to help, but the farmer told the boy not to work himself up over this.
"You don't need to work yourself up over this."
"But I…"
"It's fine. While you are here you are our guest. Once we find a way to get you out of Hokuto…and maybe out of Japan, then you can worry about what comes next."
"…"
"For now you need to worry about how to survive for the next few days without the risk of getting caught."
"I…see."
"So right now…make yourself at home."
"O-okay…"
The farmer's wife then gives Albus some clothes that would fit him, which he accepted, and as she began to cook some food, the teen boy wizard wondered what has happened to Scorpius and where did he end up, unaware that Scorpius is currently at Touto, which is near the border of Hokuto.
-x-
Back at Touto, Scorpius is forced to do some scrapping, in which he studied the currency of the place, realizing that it does not use the currency of Yen despite being in Japan, and while at an eatery, with the cashier not looking, Scorpius took out his wand and uses a spell to duplicate the currency of Touto, so that he could have some cash and use it to survive the first 48 hours, and using the wand, he made several copies of the Touto currency money and soon bought some food before lodging at a hostel.
Thanks to the magical device he carried that enabled him to communicate in Nihongo (Japanese), Scorpius is able to negotiate with the hostel owner and got a comfortable room with a computer with and WIFI and uses the computer to figure out how to get to England and try to contact his father, Draco, unaware of the fact that he is in a parallel Muggle world.
By then the hostel owner came and told Scorpius that he can use the bathroom to have a warm bath, which Scorpius thanked the hostel owner for the generosity, which the owner said it is nothing.
"…so that's that. If you need anything, just call me."
"Thank you, sir."
"It's nothing."
"I appreciate it."
"It's fine. You're the first foreigner to ever come this this hostel. I'm surprised that someone as young like a teenager get to stay here despite the Skywall tragedy."
"I…see…"
"Well, then…enjoy your stay."
"Thank you, sir."
After that, Scorpius began using social media apps like Facebook to try accessing the accounts of his father, and that of the Potters, only to find out that neither Draco or Harry Potter have any account, and when accessing the National Statistics Office, Scorpius was alarmed that there are no records of the Malfoys and the Potters, which made him alarmed as he could not believe that this has happened.
"Merlin's beard…! This can't be…is this for real…?"
Scorpius then decided to plan ahead and see if he could find a way to leave Japan and go to England to see if what he suspect is true or not, as he refused to believe that his family and the Potter family do not have their records of existence, and wondered if Albus is okay as he has no idea that his best friend is only a border away from his current location.
