What is the Parallel World Arc? Synopsis and Best Scenes Summary | When & Which Manga Volume [Chiikawa]

Hachiware notices that the weapons and the appearances of those around him are slightly different, and that familiar-looking opponents have not grown larger. A Weeding Level 5 ID is displayed on his mobile device, and while wondering if they have somehow come to a parallel place, he tries to sort out the situation, realizing they seem to be in a different state.

Noticing an unfamiliar insect in the meadow, Hachiware receives a bug-catching net from a tree with a face. According to the explanation from the tree and the stump-like opponent, they need to crush that insect to return to their original world, but they cannot answer what will happen to this world if they do. While insisting that this world also has its good points, Hachiware thinks about what to do before they become unable to return to their original world.

Hachiware, having taken on the form of another world, chases the insect while aware that he is starting to get used to this place. When handed a large fork-like tool by the surrounding residents asking if he will help catch insects, Hachiware is confused and stops his hands. Still, he decides to return before his body completely adapts, and reaching out for the flying insect with his extended claws, he is surprised that he can catch it easily.
