[Unn?]

[……Miyama-san’s one year in this world. How would you like to spend that time?]

[………………]

In front of an oversized desk in the office, the master of this residence, Lilia had her arms crossed as she has a frown on her face.

[……I was worried about the possibility itself happening, but this happened too early, didn’t it?]

[……My apologies. It was my blunder.]

[No, it wasn’t Luna’s fault. To be honest, I didn’t expect that you and “shadow” would lose sight of Kaito-san at the same time. No, that’s not something that could happen if you both were just being negligent…… We haven’t received the detailed results of the investigations yet, but it’s safe to assume that “Recognition Inhibition Magic” was placed on Kaito-san.]

They were talking about that incident where she has lost sight of Miyama Kaito on the streets this evening. The person himself doesn’t seem to mind about that incident—- No, he had only recognized it as him getting lost in the crowd, but it was a grave incident for the two of them.

[Agriculture, industry, food culture…… Up until now, the things that Hero-samas, the otherworlders have brought us have caused various revolutions. There are some people whose interests have connections with the otherworldly knowledge but the protection for Hero-sama is extremely strict. It’s difficult to use him for personal gain.]

[……However, this time, “otherworlders other than the Hero” have appeared. That’s why My Lady took custody of the three of them as soon as possible.]

[Yes. If information about them gets out, some people may even use drastic measures. However, I never expected that they would suddenly use magic on the first day…… We have to assume that there’s an “insect” among those who witnessed the summoning.]

The people who Lilia commanded to accompany Kaito when they went out wasn’t just Lunamaria, there were also several guards who were skilled in stealth following them as well. The knowledge from another world, they were sent to make sure those who want it don’t act strangely…… However, it was unexpected that all of them lost sight of Kaito at the same time.

[……Should we tell those three?]

[There’s no way I can say that to them. They should still be anxious after being summoned to a different world, how can I tell them that they might be targeted?…… I think we’re going to have to settle this case ourselves. I want you to immediately secure enough “Recognition Inhibition Magic” magic tools for the shadows and contact older brother—– His Majesty, the King.]

[I respectfully obey. However, I don’t get it. For someone who’s gone to such great lengths to use Recognition Inhibition Magic that would leave traces of its usage, yet hasn’t taken any action……]

[……It may have been that they couldn’t take any action. What about that demon that Kaito-san said he encountered?]

[As we had expected, “he wasn’t able to catch the demon’s name.”. It must have been the Information Concealment Magic that the upper-level demons often used, if you think about the fact that this demon had “forcibly canceled” the Recognition Inhibition Magic that was supposed to be applied to Miyama-sama, it’s easy to predict that he must be a high-ranking demon. Moreover, this too……]

While speaking in a serious tone, Lunamaria placed the Kaito’s necklace that she had kept custody on the table.

[……What are the inspection results?]

[The purity of the magic crystal is estimated to be at least 90%, and the magic technique imbued on it…… Unfortunately, our dukedom’s mage couldn’t decipher it, but it’s said to be at least level 10.]

[…… It’s already on the level of a “National Treasure” huh…… Although we still don’t know the purpose of this demon, I honestly don’t want to imagine a clash with a demon of this level.]

[Yes, if you’re not at least of the court mage class, you can’t even be considered it’s opponent……]

[Anyway, let’s be vigilant for now. What about the mansion?

[We’ve deployed a detection barrier as well as several detection magic techniques. The shadows have also been deployed in case of an emergency, ordering them not to let even a single rat pass.]

[……We have to settle this problem immediately.]

In the silence of the night, I went out to the veranda—- or more like, the balcony of my room to gaze at the stars and the moon in the night sky.

The sky in the other world appears to be the same as what we see on Earth. The stars and the constellations may be different, but I wouldn’t know.

With my hair ruffled by the occasional breeze, I think back to Kusonoki’s question earlier.

———-How would you like to spend that time?]

What do I want to do, what do I want to be in the future, or what my future’s objective is…… I’ve always had the hardest time being asked that kind of question. I’ve heard of the saying that “you know yourself best”, but I don’t know myself the best.

Even after thinking about it again, I still don’t understand. Do I have any expectations for being summoned to this other world? Or is it that I’m just discouraged? Both feel like the right answer, but both answers also feel wrong at the same time.

I chose the high school I went to because it was close to home. It’s not like I didn’t want to pursue any particular career, I just didn’t want to be a working man right away, so I went to college. I vaguely thought that I would become somehow become a salaryman after moderately enjoying my student life.

I love playing games. Especially RPGs…… Even if I don’t think for myself, there are enemies to defeat and equipment to aim at. And when I’m prepared, I could moderately get a sense of accomplishment after I clear the game.

I also like to read light novels. Especially those royal road stories who gives me peace of mind. And as I empathize with the protagonist, when the protagonist thinks through about the hardships he’s confronting, I would feel like I’ve accomplished through the difficulties myself.

(T/N: royal road stories are those stories where there’s an easy or direct way to achieve the desired ending)

In the face of difficulties, I think it’s great to achieve your goals despite your struggles. I think it’s admirable to have a goal or a dream, and work towards it. In that case, am I in the wrong for not having it? I wonder if I’m just running away from reality? Do I really have to do that? I don’t know, and I still don’t have the answer to this.

I think I can change myself if I work hard, but I don’t think it has to be now. Some of us want to change, while others want to stay the same and live comfortably.

This has been the case since I was summoned to this world. While I was relieved that the world was at peace and that the Hero wasn’t a nuisance—– I was also disappointed that I wasn’t the Hero of the story. I think I’m filled with contradictions.
