Volume 7, Chapter 0: Hero Summoning, Part 2
The girl before them was wearing a black and silver dress that sparkled like a starry sky as she moved.
Long hair, like shining golden threads shone upon her head.
It was as if a God had took all of the negative traits from the cold beauty of a doll, but the four Japanese children, rather than being impressed be her beauty, felt fear.
It brought home that they were truly in a [Different World].
The beauty filled the space with her presence and all of them felt like they had been dropped into ice cold water, their hearts stopping.
However, before the spirits of the four were taken past their limit…
*Fu…* The golden eyed girl smiled gently at them and they were released from their spell.
When the black cat the beautiful girl was holding let out a meow, the children finally felt able to breathe, and Mizuki fell down as if she had locked her knees for too long.
The golden girl gently held out her hands.
“Welcome [Heroes from Another World]. It’s good to meet you.
With these words, the reality of the situation was confirmed, Futa knew for sure that they were Isekai’d as he looked at the girl before them.
Daichi was still stunned, and Mizuki was unlikely to be useful as she was staring at the realistic eyes on the stuffed animals and black cat.
“… So this is really a different w-world?”
At Touka’s words, the girl gives a slow nod.
“You are correct. You have been summoned as “Heroes” from another world-”
“Wait!”
Futa interrupted the girl’s speech.
“Why did you summon us? Are you a ‘Princess’ or something?”
He didn’t know whether they were simply asking them or whether they planned to treat them like slaves, but if they kept going without considering the other party, he wouldn’t take it lying down.
However, even with how rude he was, the little girl smiled a little, while the servant’s faces were stone blank.
“U-umm, well, I have been called that before.”
The girl seemed to be shy based on her expression… taking in that image, Futa shook his head to dispel his distraction before looking at the girl again.
“Futa-kun… that girl’s voice… it’s just like that one I heard back then.”
“…as I thought.”
Futa nods to Mizuki, who had whispered to him, before speaking to the golden girl once more.
“How do you think anyone in our position would feel about this? This is a kidnapping.”
It’s going well, this line of thought is working, Futa thought to himself.
For the time being, they would listen to her story, but it was his job to make sure that they made it through this negotiation without crossing any lines. While he thought he failed on his first impression, it seems like she wasn’t as judgmental as was possible.
Futa was thinking about how to get the best conditions from this situation, but the words from the golden girl were rather unexpected.
“Actually, the summoning can’t force anyone to come that doesn’t agree, you know?”
