Chapter 02: Classmates
A few questions arose He realized that his level was one If this was a RPG-like world, this was only natural, since he hadn’t fought with anyone yet
But as his MP ( a world traveller, who had high ic power as he was informed just now
By the way, HP referred to endurance, MP was ic power, EXP experience and NEXT indicated the necessary experience points for the next level ATK, DEF, AGL, HIT and INT respectively syility, hit chance and intelligence These were expressions often used in games
He was surprised at his unexpectedly high AGL, but what he was most surprised about was this:
≪Innocent Bystander≫
It perfectly showed that he was just dragged along with the four Heroes In other words, he hih he was concerned about his ic too, he rather pondered how to explain this situation
While he was in thought, Rudolph asked them
“How is it? When you look at the title, it should display Hero”
Taishi+ was the first to answer
“Y- Yes, it does! It says Hero here! Uwah~ Awesome, I’m really a Hero”
He uttered with a somewhat excited voice
“Hey, what about you, Chika?”
The one answering Taishi+’s question was Suzuirl in class Her open and direct attitude in dealing with people gained her their goodwill
Her short hair was bleached like Taishi+’s, albeit paler Her breasts were soure as a sport ace was quite attractive
“Yeah, I have it too, Taishi+”
“Good And you, Shuri, shi+nobu?”
He called out to the other two girls Mina black hair
Unlike Chika, she had a voluptuous body that attracted boys She belonged to the tea club and the boys so points also included the kind of drooping eyes and the mole under her eye
The other girl, Aka with curiosity Active in the newspaper club, she also planned to find employment in that field in the future She was talkative as well and smart on top, so everyone often asked her for tips on the exams
Her slightly wavy, black hair hang over her shoulders Fro resolution of never letting go of her prey Moreover, she came from Kansai
As for what these three girls had in co beauties And as members of Taishi+’s harem, they were always around him
Shuri and shi+nobu seemed to have the Hero title too And as a azes faced Hiiro next
“What about you?”
“…Nope”
He answered with a single word Upon that, the others made a ruckus
“Then… can you tell us what kind of title you have?”
It annoyed him hoas talked down to, but answered honestly nevertheless But only one of them
“≪Innocent Bystander≫…”
Now his four classed their attitude on these words They frowned and left theiropen in disbelief
“≪Innocent Bystander≫…? Lilith, do you knohat that means?”
“Eh, uhm… Yes Most likely…”
Lilith looked doard, hesitant to answer Hiiro sighed while looking at her Then he answered in her stead
“I’m just an ordinary person I just happened to be in the classrooht?”
“Uh- Uhm…”
“Hey, wait! Okamura! What‘s with that tone!”
Chika said by pointing at nored that and continued
“Originally four people should’ve been suular so to speak What’re you going to do about it?”
He merely stated it indifferently without any hostility or animosity And yet, Lilith turned pale as she was the one who summoned them
“Well, it’s not just about ht here at your conveniences too I’m sure our families are worried about us”
Lilith’s expression became more and more heartbroken
“You are right I can only ask for your pardon on this matter”
The king offered his apology like that Hiiro thought he would nificance of their actions
“We were left we no other choice”
“No, to be honest, I don’t care about your circumstances”
“Huh?”
Time stopped for everyone upon Hiiro’s words
“I have no connections whatsoever to these four”
“Hey, Okamura! Aren’t we classmates!”
Taishi+ yelled enraged
“Yeah, we’re classether in the same room by the school’s decision”
“Th- That’s going too far…”
“Yes, after we finally got together~”
Shuri and shi+nobu stated their opinions too
“So you say, but I haven’t spoken a single ith you in the four month, since we’re in the same class”
It was a fact Hiiro basically liked being alone, so he kept his distance from everyone, not just these four Sleep, eat and read That was Hiiro’s custom
The other four fell silent from his words Like he had said, they hadn’t talked to each other, even though they were classmates It was also a fact that they never tried to speak to him on their own accord, even if he was hard to approach
“Okay, as I said just now, I’ve no connection to these four You guys want the four Heroes, right? Then I seem useless?”
“Mh- Mhm…”
Rudolph groaned with a difficult expression He was perplexed about what to do
“Since they’re Heroes, they can fight the ‘Evila’ in soht? But I’erous guys too, would you?”
“…Then let me ask you: What do you want to do?”
“Go home?”
“Th- The docuic to send you home”
Rudolph’s word resounded through the throne roo that, Hiiro quietly shut his eyes
“S- So we just have to defeat the Demon Lord quickly!”
What an idiot, Hiiro thought Even if the Deic, ould you defeat hihtless statement
“In- Indeed Besides, our country is wonderful, so you will surely come to like it You are all basically part of my family now”
Seeing Rudolph desperately trying to persuade hied his shoulders
“Ah, if I may add, I‘m worried about my family”
The others felt worried as well, not just Chika
“Th- There is no need to worry about that Right?”
A nearby scholar was addressed
“Ah, y- yes! As a otten now!”
“F- Forgotten, you say!?”
It was quite a shocking statement
“Ah, please rest assured There are forces at work to keep things coherent in your world Once you return, it will be changed back… yes”
(That’s… a lie)
