Chapter 1 THE OTHER WORLD WAS AT PEACE (PART 1) (2/2)
“……if possible, I would like to continue now…… is that okay?”
“I-I’m sorry?! I-I just have this habit of forgetting the surrounding when I get deep into my thoughts, and……”
I quickly bowed my head with apology hearing her words which were mixed with reluctance. Damn, I did it again… this hateful habit of mine. I don’t know where I got it, but I would start forgetting about the surroundings when I got focused on something. You can positively say that I’m focused, but you can also negatively say that I have narrow eyesight.
Anyways, I did it again. I even feel like the two high school girls looking at me while rolling their eyes, and the people surrounding the beauty looking at me with a wry smile. The high school boy… is for some reason, muttering things while looking down. I suddenly felt like I could become good friends with this guy.
“No, you cannot be blamed for being confused by the sudden even. Once again, everyone from the other world. Welcome to ‘Symphonia Kingdom’.”
After giving a warm smile towards me after I apologized, the beauty greeted us gracefully with the manner of plucking the hem of her skirt. And it is, as expected should I say, a Kingdom in another world.
Hmmm〜, from the elegance I could feel from her, and from what I guess about her being called My Lady, is she a noble? Maybe a Princess too.

“My name is Lilia Albert. First of all, please forgive us for the sudden call of summoning. I believe that you are confused because of the sudden event. We understand that we should explain to you what is happening first…… however, I am very ashamed to ask this for our side’s convenience, but before we start explaining, can I ask what everyone’s name is?”
“……ah, yes. Uhm…… my name is Miyama Kaito宮間快人.”
I answered the beautyーーLilia first, as the eldest in our group. In the novels I’ve read, there are those who would shout incoherently or find trouble with those who welcome them…… but experiencing it myself, I could say that I am so confused and puzzled that I answered calmly instead.
“……I’m Kusunoki Aoi楠葵あおい.”
“……Yuzuki Hina柚木陽菜.”
“……Mitsunaga Seigi光永正義.”
The three high school students followed after me. I mean, that high school boy, what a cool name. You should be the Hero already. Everlasting light光永 and Justice正義? Isn’t it already decided that you’d be a hero with that name……? Though you look more like an indoor type.
“Miyama-sama, Kusunoki-sama, Yuzuki-sama, and Mitsunaga-sama, right? Nice you meet you all. Please forgive my rudeness and wait for a while.”
While saying that, Lilia-san glanced at a different robed person, and that robed person took out something that looks like a crystal ball. I couldn’t help but tense up because I could feel that they’re about to do something, but Lilia-san said “we do not wish to harm you” in a hurry to explain, so I just behaved in my place thinking it’s not a good plan to move… it’s definitely not because I’m a coward or lack the courage to raise an objection. Definitely not.
“……it looks like it is Mitsunaga-dono who was summoned as the Hero. It would seem that the others got caught with him.”

“It was like that after all.”
It looks like the Hero is Mitsunaga Seigi-kun. Although my guess hit the spot, this, what is going to happen, really? In this situation where we don’t know which is the left to the right, Mitsunaga-kun is really amazing doing a guts pose after being proclaimed as the Hero. You are the number one. Please do your best and take care of all the troubles.
“Well then, the Hero’s explanation would be done there?”
“Yes, let us proceed as such. Lilia-sama, we will trouble you explaining the situation to the three guests who were caught up.”
After hearing that conversation, Lilia-san told us that we are going to be separated with Mitsunaga-kun because the contents of the explanations would be different between us and the Hero.
Going this far, Kusunoki-san and Yuzuki-san objected…… me? My head’s full of different things, so I didn’t have the time for that.
Honestly, I can’t call myself as the kindest guy there is, and it’s not like I have the capacity in my heart to worry about other people during an emergency situation like this. The greatest problem I’m worried about right now…… is Lilia-san who is trying to calm Kusunoki-san and Yuzuki-san. My head is full of questions, what kind of person she is, and what she is planning for us?
According to the impression she had given us so far, she does not seem like a bad person, having such humility. But they have yet to give us an explanation about the reason to summon a Hero, and I do not even know what authority she possesses.
It might be wrong depending on the information from the light novels I’ve read, but there is a cliché in these kinds of stories where the royals and nobles would use the Hero as a slave, or they would treat those who weren’t a hero badly.
In fact, the Hero, Mitsunaga-kun, would receive a different kind of explanation from us, and I can’t be blamed for thinking that they have ill intentions against us.

But, sadly, everything, including the basis to support that guess and the hint to overcome this situation, is being held by her, so there is no other choice but to follow her arrangements.
“I can understand that you would feel anxious. However, I shall take an oath with my name that we do not have ill intentions against you. It is very selfish of us to treat you like this, but please forgive us.”
Lilia-san said and deeply bowed her head. Kusunoki-san and Yuzuki-san who still doesn’t look convinced stopped their words of objection, and Mitsunaga-kun silently nodded as well. Of course, I nodded too.
The other three probably understands as well, that it’s most likely that resistance is futile. Taking a quick glance at their side, I quickly counted that there are more than twice people than us, and most of all, believing in her words that this is another world…… there is probably no doubt that there exists a power such as magic.
Of course, Mitsunaga-kun who’s a Hero might have a special kind of powers, but I don’t believe that a “caught up” person like me have powers like that. With all that in mind, the only choice that would save myself is to listen to them.
