Chapter 1 THE OTHER WORLD WAS AT PEACE (PART 1) (1/2)
It was not as if there was a kind of nor there was an extraordinary and mysterious scene at that time. But if you insist wanting to know if there was something different from usual, the most I could think of is that I saw male and female students wearing the uniform of my alma mater.
Two males and two females, they look like they belong to the same club, they were chatting cheerfully in front of me. Their air that belongs to that of those who are elite was blinding for me. Especially the two high school girls who are probably the most beautiful in their respective classes. It made me envy the two high school boys walking along them. It’s just exactly 1:1, so they might be couples…… damn riajuus1, go away and explode already……
That’s right. Such was the common scene of on my way home. That is, until a mysterious magic circle appeared behind them after they stopped on a crossingーー
Before I even reacted to think of what’s happening, the scene in front of me changed as the static noise of an old tv echoed. The ground that was paved with asphalt turning into that of stone, and the brightness of the afternoon sun that could only be described as annoying turned into a dim light of a lamp…… I mean, what just happened?
“Welcome, ‘Hero-sama’.”
Without having the leisure to even realize my confusion, without having the time to understand what happened, I turned around to the source of the beautiful voice that tickled my ears like a bell. What I saw was a beauty with long golden hair and eyes as blue as the sky, wearing a taintless white dress, together with the group of four… or rather, now, group of three high school students that I saw earlier. No doubt, one of them is missing.
“Please forgive us for the suddenーーeh?!”
Seeing us, the golden-haired beauty’s captivating smile suddenly froze… she stopped her words halfway.
And what followed was silence……not to mention me and the three high school students who can’t keep up with the situation, even that beauty that was about to say something stopped, along with those people clad in robes you would usually see in a middle-age themed movie was petrified. The silence dominated the scene.
“……u-uhm, My Lady? Do my eyes see the truth seeing four of them?”

“……what a wonderful coincidence, Luna. My eyes see four of them as well.”
One of the robed people mustered up her courage and called out to the beauty. In return, the beauty replied with confused words. Unfortunately, my thoughts and consciousness were unable to follow the extraordinary event that hit me with a Dempsey roll. If I was a desktop computer, what shows on the screen must be an hour-glass icon waiting for me to respond. I should’ve bought in○el instead of……wait, what am I saying?!
I move my eyes to the three high-school students who are in the same circumstances as me. It would seem that they were also in the same condition, glancing towards me with a confused expression.
“Wha-W-W-W-What are we going to do?! This, it’s THAT right?! It’s like the other three got caught up with the ‘Summoning’, that’s what’s going on right?!!”
“T-That is probably so…… what are we going to do My Lady?”
“What or whatever, it’s not like we can say ‘We failed, Teehee〜!’ or something! We must first explain to everyone what is happening…… ahh, but, we must find out who is the Hero within them first……”
“Teehee〜……? My Lady. Please forgive me for being rude, but I think that that is already inappropriate for your age……”
“Why are you suddenly calmly pointing that out?!!”
I wonder what this is? This disappointing conversation. It’s as if, my sense of urgency towards the unknown is being worn away…… the two high school girls were stunned with their mouth open as well, and you, high school boyーーwhy in the world are you doing a guts pose? Guts pose in this situation?
Un? Wait a second…… Hero? Summoning? Got caught into? That sounds like terms I’m used to hearing. Think carefully, me. That sounds familiarーー

“*Cough* Once again, welcomeーー”
“Sorry. I’m thinking right now. Can you keep quiet?”
“Ah, yes. I’m very sorry.”
I heard a voice that would interrupt my thinking, so I asked that voice to shut up so I could think. Ahh, that’s right, I remember. It’s so similar to the Light Novel I read recently!
Although I won’t be boasting, I am what you can call an otaku or someone who has such a hobby. I love games, like light novels, but never watches anime, so that makes me a half-assed otaku, but…… anyways, this situation is exactly like the plot of what happened in that light novel. The story starts with the main character being summoned from a different world with a Hero Summoning, then proceeds to fight the Demon King. Come to think of it, I have seen many similar novels like that.
“……u-uhm……”
Ahh, but, although you can generally call it Isekai-mono, there are many kinds of developments. There are those where Heroes really fight against the Demon King, those that the royal family who summoned them was actually the villain, those who were got caught into the summoning but branded as trash because of the lack of super powers, or those acting sheepishly but actually has the most demonic cheat……
“……uhm, excuse me〜……”
If it’s like that, what’s needed first is information then? Even though they say ‘Fact is stranger than fiction’, it is probably wrong to assume at this stage that it is a different world. But, I could clearly say that this is an extraordinary event, so I should really find out what’s currently happeningーーwait? I think I’m forgetting something……
“……uhm……”

“……eh?”
And there I finally saw the golden-haired beauty looking at me with eyes filled with confusion and worry, allowing my consciousness rapidly return to reality.
And together with my return to the reality, I remembered that I dove deep into my thoughts after interrupting this woman in front of me. I could feel as if my blood is draining out of my face.
