Chapter 1 E 2 (Summoned to Another world) 1
”Fuu... Finally lunch time huh.”
When the morning cla.s.s ended, Ryouma breathes out a huge sigh; he then took out a lunch box from his bag.
It is a lunch box that Asuka had made this morning.
In the high school Ryouma attends to, the lunch break spans 1 hour from 12.00 o'clock until 13.00 o'clock.
He then took his lunch box and pet bottle filled with tea and opened the cla.s.sroom door.
”Ryoumkun... are you going to eat at the roof-top again? how about eat with us once in a while?”
A cla.s.smate who is currently preparing the table to have a lunch break called out to Ryouma.
A very beautiful girl with big eyes and long black hair.
Hearing her voice, Ryouma stopped at the cla.s.sroom entrance.
For a moment, hesitation appeared on his face; however, he immediately turns himself with a smile.
”Ah... Sorry, let's do it next time!”
It's not like I don't want to have lunch with my cla.s.smate.
The reason why Ryouma does not want to eat with his cla.s.smate is that he just don't want to shows the content of his lunch box.
After all, Asuka lunch box is just too cute, which did not fit with his image. At least, that was what he himself thought.
In society, there's the so-called character lunch box <tln: kyaraben,=”” bento=”” filled=”” with=”” things=”” like=”” rabbit=”” made=”” by=”” using=”” carrot.=””>
The various character being made using ingredients, the world of mothers will try to devote themselves to this craft; however, Asuka is also a master of this art.
Her variation is vast, start from Pikachu and the others, though it expresses the ingredients, to be honest, for Ryouma, having his lunch box in the form of character lunch box, it can't be helped if he wants to stop it.
Being a high school student, yet having a Pikachu being drawn in his lunch box. Though it makes woman reputation goes higher, in exchange, it destroys a man honor.
However, for Asuka who make this lunch box, she didn't take any consideration to Ryouma manly heart at all.
There is no problem with this lunch box until middle school.
However, it becomes a problem when he brings his lunch box to high school.
He has no parents, and his grandfather is not someone who will make a lunch box for Ryouma sake; thus it was a custom for him to just buy bread from the school cafeteria, it was the later half of April that there's the talk that Asuka should make a lunch box.
I feel grateful when she made me one and surprised when I received at the time of lunch break that time.
(Even now, I still feel a chill down my spine...)
When Ryouma remembers that time, his body shakes.
He ate the lunch box frantically, making sure that the surrounding did not see it; thus he was able to protect his honor, later after he returned home he called Asuka and made a protest, but, by the next day, his lunch box, a homemade lunch box, has become a white rice with a single pickled plum in the middle.
(And the breakfast turn into h.e.l.l too... it turn into cold cereal with milk.)
Like that, Ryouma suppressing his dissatisfaction in his heart, he apologizes to Asuka. Thus, his lunch box ends up with character lunch box once again, until now.
”You said next time, next time, aren't you making this every day! Mou, fine. But, next time, you absolutely have to eat with us by all means!”
She said such thing while puffing
her cheek. Such lovely expression.
However, after Ryouma raised his right hand, she sits down while laughing lightly.
She does not seem to be particularly persistent. Well, you can say it was just a lip service of a popular high school student.
”My bad my bad. I will do so next time!”
Every day whenever the weather is clear, he will eat at the rooftop, and have a siesta until the bell chime, that was Ryouma daily routine.
”Well then, see you next time.”
After saying that words to his cla.s.smate, Ryouma left the cla.s.sroom.
And then, when Ryouma climbed the stairs, at that time, something absurd happens.
That's right; his h.e.l.l began from there.
Fuu!
”Ah?”
The floor disappeared from Ryouma foot.
Suddenly, his body is falling vertically.
It's not like he missed his steps. He was sure that the stairs were there before, but abruptly disappear, and just like that, he fell bellow.
He then tried to stretches his hand forward trying to grab the stairs board rim, however, that stairs board rim also disappeared, making his hand only grabbed the void.
The light from his school building grew narrower little by little.
And then, the light finally disappear.
In the jet black darkness, he merely keeps falling.
”Huh?”
Suddenly Ryouma noticed.
Before he notices anything, his body is not falling anymore, but surfacing.
”This is bad... Is this a dream, or hallucination? was there something wrong with me?”
Ryouma grumbles to himself.
Well, that, of course, make sense.
After all, even though it is not weird for a body to fall. Though it was unlikely, there's the possibility of the school building collapsed, or the ground fall out, making the body fall deeper underground.
But having one body floating is absolutely impossible. Because a person cannot fly in the sky with his own strength. No matter how much that person trains his own body.
Ryouma then looked above.
Before he noticed, from his overhead, a downpour of light comes toward him.
The body then keep floating, and the light downpour becomes more stronger.
And then, finally, Ryouma body jumped out from the light.
”Where is this? This place... the school didn't have this kind of place, right?”
For Ryouma, this place is inside his school building, or at least within the school ground.
That's why, despite the fact that in front of his eyes the scene is looks like a temple, he just thought of it as a school facility.
However, such pattern of thought, the moment he saw the people in front of him, crumbles away.
There is five man before Ryouma eyes.
One of them is an old person who wear a white robe which being embroidered with silver and gold thread gaudily.
But, the problem is not that.
The problem is the appearance of the remaining four people.
Their body height and build are not that different compared to Ryouma. Their body are fairly trained.
Just by looking at their muscle thickness on their thigh and upper arm, one can see that they are not amateurs.
They also cover their body with metal armor, the one that being used in ancient Greece and a helmet (helmet with crest and on the nose part being guarded with T shape metal), on their hands, they hold, ax, spear, and halberd.
I don't know whether or not their armor and helmet are real. However, having eyes where he deals with a real weapon against his grandfather, Ryouma can see that the spear and halberd that they hold are real.
With that being the case, that means the swords on their waist
waist are also real.
If it was only their armor, then Ryouma might think that it was just a costume.
Since if he uses the money, he can buy it normally in j.a.pan.
There wouldn't be anyone who is going to buy it either, and if they were buying it, they wouldn't use it, but, the fact that there's a human being who wears it at least, in reality, has always been in the scope of comprehension as a fact that occurs in reality.
However, even if Ryouma did not think that this is a parallel world, it does not mean that he won't recognize that this place is a place that far apart from his regular daily life where he himself have lived all this time.
It is because of all those spears, halberd, and swords, all of them are sharp. He did not think that having real spears and halberd to be a joke.
First, he cannot imagine that a situation like this happens in j.a.pan.
Even if this is a robbery or some kind of random attacker, there's no one going as far as to prepare such thing as that kind of spear and halberd. Usually, it would be just a knife or kitchen knife.
And Ryouma can feel the thirst of blood from them as something real.
One that is similar to the time when he receives his grandfather attack. He feels stung on his skins as if it was being p.r.i.c.ked.
(Oi Oi, are you for real... no... They are indeed serious... these guys eyes are...)
Inside Ryouma heard, something has completely changed. From a usual to unusual one.
It was the moment, where his daily life, fall apart.
”Ho hou? It seems like the summoning this time is a success huh?”
Looking at Ryouma, the man wearing a robe talked to the man on his side.
The man he spoke to wear a helmet with a lot of red ta.s.sel decoration on it.
Looking at them where only one person has an extravagant armor, Ryouma thought he must be the captain.
”No, Gaies-sama. That kind of judgment is still too early. Though indeed he has a great physique, you must think about things as deceptive appearance,... after all, out from 100 summons, less than ten people are sufficient.” <tln: gaies=”” name=”” is=”” ガイエス...=”” gaies=”” or=”” gayes?=””>
The eyes of those two people gazed at Ryouma. It's like they are trying to discern the value of goods at a store.
”Fumu. I guess that's true... very well then. Whether or not he can be used, I won't know it until I develop him.”
