◆The Youth Who’s Summoned By The Demon King, Kuroki
Why is Reiji in this place?
And why did he become a hero?
And why is my childhood friend Shirone in there too?
I’m completely unable to understand the situation.
But, I’m glad to know that Shirone is alive.
These were my thoughts when I saw that image.
As for the reason, it’s because Reiji current whereabouts are unknown.
Shirone went to play in Reiji villa right after the summer holiday had begun.
And then vanished just like that.
They even mobilized a search party for them. In addition, I also went to that villa in order to look for Shirone.
But, I’ve no memories of what happened afterward. What happened to me.
「But, thank god…………….. Shirone is safe and sound………….」
I’m muttered in a low voice.
Me and Shirone have been acquaintances since as long as I can remember because our parents were always close with each other .
And then, our relationship goes on as we keep growing.
There’s even the time in which we’re running around the mountain together when I was a child.
And we’re learning swordsmanship together in the swordsmanship dojo of Shirone’s father.
Thus I was worried when Shirone went missing.
Shirone and the others were alive in this place.
I should be glad about that.
And they’re currently fighting inside of that image.
It seems the this image of battle was taken a while before now.
Maybe because they’re already annihilating the whole army, Reiji and those academy beauties are having a friendly conversation.
Tears are dripping from my eyes when I see that scenery.
Surrounding Reiji were beauties who were prominent even back in our high school. Those girls are happily talking with Reiji.
I’m really jealous of him.
「Fumu…………….」
I suddenly hearing a voice from my side.
Before I know it, Modes, who was on my side, is looking at my face.
「Fumufumu, I see……………….」
There might be something strange on my face.
Modes is nodding as if perceiving something.
「Kuroki-dono, let’s continue our story. The hero suddenly appeared half-year ago」
Modes begins his explanation.
Half year ago?
I’m sure they disappeared around one week ago.
I am left wondering.
「Up till the point where they suddenly came and started raiding Nargol territories, the armies of the goddess weren’t even close to defeating the armies of Nargol. Naturally, I wasn’t just sitting and doing nothing, I send our subordinate demons and magical beasts but, it’s completely similar to standing on the edge of sharp blade. Just 5 days ago, they even defeated our strongest elites, The Chivalric Order of Dark Knight. At this rate they should arrive this castle by tomorrow」
Modes saying so with vexed tone.
「When I was investigating about them, I was told that they’re summoned from the spirit world in order to defeat me. Thus, this Modes came to a thought. It should be okay if we also were to summon an existence from the spirit world who can defeat the hero」
Saying so, he’s looking at me.
「That person was you, Kuroki-dono」
「EH, wait a minute………………..」
What’s that about………….
I’m screaming like that from the bottom of my heart due to Modes’ words.
「How is it, Kuroki-dono. Please save us from them, from the hero」
Modes is bowing to me.
「That’s too absurd…………….」
In short, he’s telling me to fight against Reiji and the girls.
That’s an extremely unreasonable story.
Midou Reiji, or more known as Reiji is a popular figure in the big combined school of Kayou middle and high to which I’m also attending.
He has well ordered face along with slender and well proportioned body that’s around 180 cm tall.
Maybe because his mother came from foreign country, he has bright brown colored hair which can be seen as blonde under the sunlight.
To make matters worse, he has a good grades and is also good at sports.
And his family is very rich.
He’s completely just like a character in a manga.
He’s extremely popular with girls for these reason.
But, even if he is highly rated amongst girl, it’s the extreme opposite for the boys.
The reason is simple, because Reiji has a completely different attitude when he’s facing those from the same sex versus those from the opposite sex.
He’s nice, only for the girls.
That’s what I think about Reiji.
And somehow, Reiji has this strange ability of saving cute girls who are in danger at that place.
The number of women saved by Reiji is high .
Maybe for that reason, the girls falling in love with Reiji has never stopped.
By the way, I’ve never heard of the stories in which Reiji saved men.
No matter how troubled they’re, if it’s men, he’ll somehow forsake them for himself.
Though Reiji’s extremely kind toward girls, he’s extremely strict toward boys.
This is the reason for the hate that’s coming from the men’s side.
In the first place, Reiji himself might have not worried about such matters.
The number of boys whose crush has been taken by Reiji is too many.
Moreover, there’s another reason for his low popularity.
But, since Reiji’s never forcing something against a girl’s wish, the girls came to like him, and I’ve never heard any complaints from the boys.
They’ve no choice but to wait in silence.
The grumbling of the boys because of the girls to whom they’re taking fancy to surrounding only Reiji is coming all out.
They can’t beat the handsome guy.
And then, my childhood friend, Shirone, Akamine Shirone, is also one amongst them.
Could it be Reiji greeted her because Shirone is cute?
Or it might be because he was greeted by Shirone, I don’t know which one.
As for me, I don’t want them to be together thought. It was then turned into a quarrel when I told Shirone about that.
That was what happened before the summer vacation.
My first love is crushed.
I, who have nothing but common skills. [TL : Your average guy]
Am at disadvantage when facing against Reiji. I didn’t have any choice but to abandon my first love.
This monster who call himself as demon king is telling me to fight that Reiji.
That’s unreasonable.
Reiji is all powerful in a brawl.
I’ll be ended being beaten black and blue.
Once upon a time, the captain of karate club is taking his revenge on Reiji and then brawling against him since the girl he have a crush on is taken by Reiji.
The result, the captain of the karate club have his jaw broken which need full 3 month to recover.
By the way, Reiji is unharmed.
Maybe because Reiji parent are moving behind scene, or maybe because the captain of karate club is fearing the retribution, I don’t know which one it is.
But, it was somehow didn’t goes on public.
But, it was an open secret amongst the student in the school.
In addition, there’s this guy who love martial arts and goes to challenge Reiji.
There was even adult with body bigger than Reiji amongst them.
But, no one ever come victorious. Naturally myself included.
Reiji might have not rememberred that I was amongst the opponent which he defeated in the past.
I’m not even wanting to remember such miserable defeat.
Moreover, the fighting scene is bad.
I myself is a pacifist.
It was only by chance at that time.
The matter about that fight is just too forced.
「Please wait a minute, your majesty!! ! 」
Someone is forcing his way through the crowds of the monster.
Thus I saw the figure of a lone man who wore jet black armor standing on that place.
