Chaos swirled in the classrooun its collapse What Futaba Meiko re, Ah, as she was thrown into the see abyss of pitch black
“N uu”
She awoke lying in a dark place Cold, hard, and slightly wet too, there was nothing of greater discoirth king-size bed in her room, her mind returned to reality
Fortunately, she hadn’t forgotten anything After crying a bit fro up an unknown place, she was quickly able to grasp the current situation
Apparently, they really had been brought to another world She had been asleep inside aA verdant forest peeking from the doorless, wide open entrance, opposite to which, there lay a spiral staircase running doards
Where should I go Where’d everyone go Again, the anxieties pinched at her large chest As she was about to cry herself asunder for a second time, Meiko realized
“Ah, right, the ic circle! From Momokawa-kun!”
Floating into her ht on the blackboard, and the s next her, her saviour
The page with the drawing of his oork he had handed over so bluntly, it could be seen as soht now, it was her only hope Thankyou Mo to the LordBuddha, Meiko invoked the ic
“Oh Gods above, grant us salvation with the force of thy miracles For we shall adhere to thine decre— Kyaa!?”
As she had finished the recitation, a ht appeared on the back of her hand Dazzling, and at the same time, an acute heat
“Kyaa—! What the, a-ouch, burning!”
In truth, the degree of heat wasn’t so high as to warrant such a reaction, but the abnormality in her own body made Meiko yelp, made her cry out
Though her shrill voice echoed annoyingly loud inside that small shrine, just then, she heard a voice
“—shall we bestow”
Not her own Undoubtedly, it was the voice of a third party It rang clearly inside her head, dispelling any doubts if it was her iination
“To thee, great power shall we bestow”[1]
It was a gentle feely came at ease If there existed a Goddess, surely she’d have such a voice, was how it seemed
“—Uh umm, Vo, cation?”
Before she realized, the light on her hand had vanished, and the Goddess-like voice, not to be heard Having cale with the ic circle
Reading theeon, transfer gate It wasn’t very believable, yet she had to acknowledge reality
“I-it’ll be tough but we have to get back home, with everyone”
After much deliberation, Futaba Meiko at last took on the resolve to enter the dungeon
Gripped in her shaking hands was a bulky butcher’s knife The characteristic rectangular blade sparkled with an inti it could make easy work of a whole cow

rew along side the girth of her body Making a lot, eating as ical result
At any rate, on Septe weekend, Meiko went to class with the personal knife set in her bag like always Surely, after school that day, she’d again use these cherished, well sharpened knives on fine culinary creations, but by some twist of fate, they had become weapons for her self protection
There was Kitaoji Ruriko, a friend in the same class 2-7, in addition to an adequate a to that club, but the one serious enough to bring their own knives was Meiko only
Though she was currently equipped with the best gear, the prospect of her openly fearful and crybaby self swinging a blade almost crushed her heart In fact, she was as her liine pointing it towards the violent beasts known as , she likely couldn’t do it
She could cut apart any nuo She could easily exercise her blade on seafood, like fish or octopi only
“I-it’s fine since I have the Knight vocation I’ll be fine”
Futaba Meiko was granted the vocation of ‘Knight’ Frohting ability, it wasn’t a bad draw
Novice skills being 3: ‘Abandon’, ‘Repel’, and ‘Blessed Body’[2]
‘Abandon’: Can react to the enemy’s attack
‘Repel’: Repel ene weapons or armor
‘Blessed Body’: A blessed body strong against injury and sickness
A simple description of her powers had been entered into her head at some point, so she could quickly understand theht, Meiko had not a clue
It wasn’t a probleh end in fact But unfortunately, there was no way she could logically come to the best solutions in this abnormal situation To add, Meiko was quite distant froa only coirls like that simulation arm interactions between forest aniame where you connected tiles with round jellies to make them disappear[3]
She had no idea what to think of this ‘vocation’ with its game-like skill system
But fortunately, Meiko’s first encounter in the dark passages of the dungeon wasn’t a monster, but a familiar face, a classmate
“—You’re, Futaba-san? Thank goodness, you’re safe”
The person she encountered on a narrow crossroads was, possessing a slender, cal Futaba Meiko, the class representative of class 2-7, Kisaragi Ryouko
“K-Kisaragi-san! Fwaa— so glad, I’lad you’re here!”
Ryouko’s ever present calave Meiko a peerless feeling of relief
“W-wait Futaba-san, calm down”
Taken slightly aback by the largeher, Ryouko tries to calm the teary-eyed Meiko
“—I’oal is clear No et ourselves out of this mess and return to our world as fast as we can”
Walking along the passage which looked hard like concrete, talking about their situation brought back a bitwords alighted hope in her heart that was cru in despair
Kisaragi Ryouko and Meiko weren’t particularly close You could count on one hand the amount of times they’d conversed Still, Meiko knew Knew that she wasn’t only of gorgeous appearance, but her grades and athleticis called ‘class rep’ by everyone, her skill in leadershi+p was also a guarantee Moreover, she showed not the slightest fear in facing the greatest delinquent Tendou Ryuuichi who had sent a dozen punks froe to even assert dominance over him
Invoking a feeling of both adht That was the girl known as Kisaragi Ryouko
“Hey Futaba-san, have you tried out this vocation thing?”
“Eh? A-umm not yet”
“I see, I haven’t gone past the description either, but seems like we have no choice but to try them now huh”
