“Wa,wait a minute! Go back, you said…… Can we return!? Back to Earth!?”

“Yeah”

Shouta, who had recovered from the shock, was the first to approach me.

I honestly have no idea about what to do, but I don’t think God would lie to me, so if I really want to go home, then I guess I’ll be able to.

Maybe I’ve never done it, but I’m sure I could get back there with transition magic.

I thought about the same thing when I fought against the Night King before ……

Then Ranze-san suddenly seemed to notice something and raised his voice.

“I’m sorry, for interrupting your conversation, but…… I thought you met these guys at the Barbador Magic Academy, but that wasn’t it?”

“Ah…… come to think of it, perhaps I haven’t explained it.”

Thinking about what I had said, I had told Ranze-san a lie about me being from the Eastern country, but I may not have mentioned that I was from the same country as the heroes summoned by the Kaizer Empire.

Once again, I briefly explained my situation to Ranze-san, and he put his hands on his temples as if to suppress a headache.

“Then…… what is it? Are you, including the young girls and the others there, from a different world?”

“That what it is”

“What can I say, I’m not so sure I comprehend it, I can’t…… No, as expected it’s impossible. I don’t care if you’re from another world, there’s no one as ridiculous as you, right?”

『Yes』

“Everyone answered immediately!?”

I didn’t think I’d get a nod from the whole hero’s group!

“Well, I guess that’s fine. If all the heroes were like you, no one would stand a chance against them, let alone us, you know.”

“Ha,haa…… is that true?”

“What are you talking about after defeating the Demon God”

Ranze-san said so to me as if he was dumbfounded, but that’s not the way it is.

When it comes to war, you need such …… strategies and something along those lines, and does one individual’s fighting ability really make or break a war situation? I’m not really sure.

At least if there are a lot of beings like me, I feel like they can do some things to get them to break ranks or something. Well, there’s no point in thinking about something that won’t happen, though.

“For the time being, I understand that you are from another world. But hey, Seiichi. You asked them if they want to return just now, if they’re willing to go back to that other world, right?”

“Indeed”

“Is it possible? For such a thing. You were originally summoned by a combination of factors, including God and the great magic of the Kaizer Empire, right?”

“I asked God and He said it was okay, you know?”

“What do you mean by you asked God?”

No, it’s really true. ……

I am very aware that it is hard to believe it, but it is true, so it can’t be helped.

“Err…… anyway, you can go back if you want to. Therefore, if everyone wants to go back, I’ll send them on their way. ……”

“What about Seiichi?”

Then Saria asked me this with a somewhat uneasy expression on her face.

Ah, I guess Saria is worried that I’m going back to earth too.

“It’s okay. I’ll stay here.”

“Is that so!?”

Shouta’s eyes widened when I said that.

“Are you sure you’re okay with that?”

“Yeah. I don’t have any particular attachment to Earth. Besides, I have everything I care about in this world.”

“Is that……Saria and the others?”

“Ah”

I took Saria’s hand, who was staring at me anxiously, and told her firmly.

“I care about Saria and the others, and I love this world. That’s why, I’m going to live in this world with everyone.”

“Seiichi……”

“In addition, my mom and dad are in this world”

“Wait a minute. You just said something ridiculous!?”

“Ah, Shota doesn’t know it, huh. Seiichi’s parents are still alive and well.”

“Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!?”

“I,it’s a lie…… Seiichi-oniichan’s mother and father are alive……”

My childhood friends Kenji, Shota, and Miu naturally knew about my parents and knew that they had already passed away on Earth.

However, I had not told anyone other than Kannazuki-senpai that when I came to this world, I visited the underworld, and brought them back to life along with Zeanos and the others.

“We,well…… various things happened”

“This isn’t at a various level!? The dead have been resurrected, you know!?”

“I guess something like that happens in another world, right?”

“What’s with your mysterious faith in the other world for a while now!?”

There you see. This is a world that has changed so much for me. I trust it too.

The world often moves with me in mind.

ShoUta seemed to still have more to say, but eventually, perhaps thinking it was useless to say anything, he let out a loud sigh.

“~~tu! Hah …… well, I’m glad you’re happy.”

“……Yeah, thanks”

“But I can’t really feel it. …… even though I was told that I could go home suddenly ……”

“In the first place, it was said that all of our information will be erased from Earth when we were sent to this world, right?”

“Ah…… Well, that’s right. And it’s been a long time since we’ve been over here, so I don’t know what’s going to happen if we just go home like this …….”

Everyone seems happy to be able to go home, but not only Shota, but all of them are thinking about it.

“Hmm…… I don’t know how far you could go, but maybe we can work out some time gaps or something regarding information.”

“……I wouldn’t be surprised if you’ve already managed to do something about it. It’s just ……”

“?”

Shouta said so then fell silent.

I looked around at all of them, not knowing what was bothering them, but they were still pondering something, just like Shouta.

“I’m sorry, Seiichi. Can we have some time?”

“Eh? Ah, yes. It’s no problem. Just ask me when everyone wants to leave, and I’ll send them home whenever they want to leave. ……”

“I appreciate you saying so.”

In the end, no conclusion was reached as to whether or not Kannazuki-senpai and the others would return to Earth on that day, and the group decided to disband as it was.

I didn’t know what everyone was concerned about, but I hoped that I could take away some of everyone’s anxiety.

◆◇◆

A few days later.

While everyone else was spending their leisure time, I was on my way to the guild by myself.

That said, I have no particular reason for it.

I had nothing in particular to do, and if there was any reasonable request, I felt like accepting it.

And so, when I visited the guild for the first time in a long time, as soon as I opened the door, a brown, glistening abs jumped towards me!

“Seiichi-kuuuuuuuuuuuun!”

The true identity of the abdominal muscle was Gassur, who have decided to do a pose without working.

“Nowah!? I was surprised …… wait, what is it!”

“I heard it, Seiichi-kuuuun! I can’t thank you enough!”

“Eh?”

While I was twisting my head, not knowing what he was talking about, Eris-san came over from the reception desk.

“That’s why you shouldn’t have muscles for brain. How would he supposed to understand it if you don’t explain it properly?”

“Oops, that’s right! HAHAHA! I just got distracted!”

When Eris-san pointed that out to him, Gassur laughed it off and put on a serious face.

“I heard about it, Seiichi-kun. You were the one who saved all the S-class adventurers at the Demon God cult’s hideout, weren’t you?”

“Ah…… that’s what you mean. Yeah, I went to their hideout, and everyone was strapped into some weird device.”

“If it were true, we would have been on our way to help, but that wasn’t the case. In the midst of all this, you saved them. That’s why, I’m grateful. Thank you.”

Unlike his usual self, he bowed down seriously, and I felt strangely uncomfortable.

“Yo,you don’t have to worry about that, you know. A lot of help was given to me by everyone. Besides, I kind of like everyone here. ……”

“Then, have the 【Gassur-style boot camp】 with me!”

“No, no, I’ll give you my 【SM course】 advanced version!”

“Give me back my sentiment!”

The story was just getting into a serious mood, but as soon as I let my guard down, this is what I get!

But, well, this faithfulness to their desires is what I like about the Guild headquarters, though.

…… I’m never going to talk about it. If I tell them, they’ll get on in it.

“――――Are you, Seiichi-kun?”

“Eh?”

While exchanging nonsense with Gassur and Eris, a voice unexpectedly called me out.

When I turned my gaze towards the voice, I saw the S-class adventurer I had saved at the 【Demon God’s Cult】 hideout standing there.

“You are……”

“I am Eust Horrors. Tentatively, I’m an S-class adventurer.”

“What do you mean by tentatively? You are a great S-class adventurer, right!”

“……I’m just normal compared to these people.”

Seeing Eust-san with an indescribable expression on his face, I was impressed.

A.amazing! Even though he’s an S-class adventurer, he’s a normal person!

Gargand was a complete pervert, but maybe the other S-class adventurers are normal!

With this hope in my heart, all the S-class adventurers who were there introduced themselves to me……. Yup. They were all perverts as expected!

The only decent ones are Oval-san and Eust-san! Rather, they felt out of place with these guys, what does this mean!?

When I was horrified by the unreasonableness of the fact that people with common sense seem to be aberrant in this place, Eust-san opens his mouth once again.

“Well, as far as we’re concerned…… you saved us this time. Thank you very much.”

When he said that, the other S-class adventurers followed Eust-san and bowed their heads.

“Do,don’t do that! Please raise your heads! Gassur just gave me his gratitude a while ago …….”

“Even so, I still want to tell it to you from my own mouth. Thank you very much.”

When Eust-san and the others bowed their heads again, they expressed their gratitude.

“If you have any problems, please feel free to contact me. Just tell the guild headquarters, and it should reach me.”

“Of course! I’ll tell them responsibly!”

“So with that said, I’m going to excuse myself now. From what I’ve heard, the 【Demon God’s Cult】 has been destroyed, but its remnants might still be on the rampage. I hope you, too, can keep that in the back of your mind.”

“Yes!”

With that, all the S-class adventurers, including Eust-san, left.

When I was seeing off those figures, I suddenly felt a gaze.

“Ji”

“Uh,uhmm…… what is it?”

Then, Nem-san, one of the S-class adventurers who introduced herself earlier, was staring at me.

“…… Are you, Al-chan’s lover~?”

“Eh?”

As I was surprised by the words that came out of Nem-san’s mouth, Nem-san nodded.

“Yup, it looks like I’ve hit it ~”

“Tha,that’s correct. But why?”

“I am, in this city――――”

“…………?”

Suddenly, Nem-san’s words were cut off.

When I tilted my head to see what was going on, I saw a lantern coming out of Nem’s nose!?

“Zzz……”

“Hey, she’s sleeping!?”

“Nem-san is a person who likes to sleep. She always falls asleep.”

“Even if that’s the case, it’s too sudden, isn’t it!?”

She was in the middle of talking, though!?

Plus, she fell asleep with her eyes wide open, which scares the crap out of me!

Then Eris-san took a needle from somewhere and stabbed it into Nem-san’s nose bubble.

“Hah. I, fell asleep~?”

“Ye,yes. You were also making a sound……”

“I see~. I’m sorry~. I get sleepy even when I was mindful of it~.”

“N,no, it’s alright. So, what’s up with this city?”

“Zzz…….”

“You’re sleeping already!?”

Unbelievable!? It’s only been a few seconds, though!?

To my surprise, Eris-san once again stuck a needle in Nem-san’s snout!

“Hah”

Mou, Nem-san At least tell him what you’re going to tell him.”

“I’m sorry~. I’ll try a little harder~.”

I’m getting uneasy!

Nem-san, who was already rowing a boat, managed to get a few words out, even though she was groggy. (TN: On her way to sounding asleep)

“That’s right~. Do you know that Al-chan has a special constitution~?”

“Ye,yes”

“The one who set up the 『Barrier』 in this city~, to suppress that constitution as much as possible~, was me~”

“!”

Nem-san’s words reminded me of something Al had told me before.

As I recall, when Al was in her misfortune disposition, she told me that she could not go out outside of this city.

On the contrary, the reason why this city is safe is because the whole city has been erected with a 『Barrier』 by her friend, an adventurer. ……

Then, as if to supplement my memory and Nem’s words, Gassur continued.

“Nem-kun is a great magician. Thanks to her, Altria’s misfortune disposition has been kept under control for the time she has been in this city. However, it wasn’t completely canceled out. So, Nem, an S-class adventurer, was traveling around, doing a lot of research to try to figure out what to do about Altria’s constitution.”

“I see……”

That’s what Al said, too. This Nem-san was the one who was trying to do something about Al’s misfortune disposition.

“Indeed~. But I was surprised when I came back to this city~, that Al-chan’s misfortune disposition was cured~. I asked about it to Gassur-kun~, and he said it was because of you~. That’s why, I wanted to give you my gratitude~. You saved Al-chan~, thank you~”

Nem laughs softly, and I also answer her.

“For all the support you have given Al, I am very grateful. Because of you, Al was able to stay in this city.”

“Zzz……”

“Already sleeping!?”

Although I answered in all seriousness!?

I was glad to be able to express my gratitude to Nem-san at least for the time being, even though I was being tossed around by her at her own pace.

◆◇◆

“In the end, there was no remarkable request ……”

I was thanked by all the S-class adventurers, Nem thanked me for Al, and many other things happened when I showed up at the guild for the first time in a long time.

But as far as the most important thing, a request, was concerned, I couldn’t find anything like that.

Or rather, there are only constant requests for collecting medicinal herbs, and defeating slimes, which was just the kind of requests we received when we joined the guild.

…… Perhaps, the Guild Headquarters doesn’t have a job available?

If you think about it carefully, it’s more unusual for someone to want to commission a pervert.

“I wonder if that’s why Gassur always seems to be free.”

“Seiichi-kun!”

“Hmm?”

As I was thinking about how extremely rude I was, I was unexpectedly stopped.

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

The voice belongs to Kannazuki-senpai, who has changed from her school uniform to the clothes common in this world, as if she is completely at home in this town, or rather, in this world.

“Kannazuki-senpai! It’s been a while.”

“Ah, that’s true. As for me, I feel like I’ve been away for hundreds of years.”

“On the contrary, were you ever okay until now!?”

If that’s true just because we haven’t seen each other for the past few days, what about all the times we’ve been apart for longer? I won’t ask for details because it’s scary.

“E,even so, how is it? This city……”

Kannazuki-senpai and the others, who were protected by Ruyes, decided to stay in the castle at the arrangement of Ranze-san.

Given that’s the case, I wondered if it would be alright to let Kannazuki-senpai and the others, who are outsiders, to stay over so easily, but he gave them permission just because they were my acquaintances. I wonder if the security side of this kingdom is okay?

He was almost assassinated by Olga-chan who was being manipulated before, so I want him to be careful.

Well, actually, Louise and the others are there, so I’m sure they will be monitored to some extent, though ……

“It’s wonderful. Since I couldn’t really take a look around the city of the Kaizer Empire…… In addition, the liveliness of this city is completely different.”

“Is that so?”

“Ah. It was always dreary and dark over there. Moreover, since they were all people with thoughts that they were the chosen ones, there was a bad vibe swirling around. Those who were slow to look around their surroundings did not notice it, but Shouta and the others were quite overwhelmed by that. I, too, am pretty worn out by it.”

“Uheh……”

Listening to Kannazuki-senpai’s explanation, made me feel sick.

Kannazuki-senpai was originally the daughter of a large conglomerate on Earth, and that’s probably why she had seen more of the world of dirty adults than we have.

Since such Kannazuki-senpai was fed up with it, it must be very bad.

“Compared to that, this city is very bright. His Majesty the King is a friendly man, and those who support him in his surroundings are also very talented. Well, the situation where the king can be friendly with us, may not be so comforting in a different way ……”

“Ahahaha……”

When I met Ranze-san, he was completely disguised as a civilian, so I was puzzled when I learned that he was the king.

But thanks to the soft atmosphere that Ranze possesses, I was able to accept him easily. Well, in my case, I’d be told to care more regarding it……

“Even so, I’m glad that you liked it! After all, this city …… I like this country.”

“……Yeah, I know”

For a little while, Kannazuki-senpai and I stared at the city.

Then, Kannazuki-senpai opens her mouth as if she has made up her mind about something.

“……Seiichi-kun”

“Yes?”

“The other day, you talked about whether or not we want to go back to Earth, right?”

“Ah, you want to go back after all?”

“But before that, I have a favor to ask of you.”

“Eh?”

“――――Can you save everyone in the school?”

Kannazuki-senpai said so with a pained expression on her face.

“I know very well that it is wrong to ask you to do this. They abused and rejected you, and they don’t deserve your salvation. Of course, no one helped with your situation, and neither did I.”

“Such…… Kannazuki-senpai and the others are different! It was just me doing as I please……”

“You say so, but I disagree. I’ve been spoiled by you. And for me to ask you to help the people who have bullied you so far …… it would be strange. I know that very well.”

When she said that much, Kannazuki-senpai’s face contorted.

“……But when I think about them, I just can’t leave them alone. I can’t do anything on my own, and yet ……”

“Kannazuki-senpai……”

“I understand that it’s a selfish request! But, if…… possible…… can you help, them……”

As Kannazuki-senpai said that, she bowed her head to me.

…… I mean, what is with this day that so many people bowed down to me.

One was grateful, and one was apologetic…….

But the only thing I can say is that, I want to see people happy rather than sad.

“Kannazuki-senpai. Please raise your head.”

“……”

“To be honest, I’m not interested in everyone at school. What is really important to me is Kannazuki-senpai and the others. That’s why, whatever happens to them is no longer my problem…… that’s what I thought”

“……”

“But when I think about the fact that they have families and people who care about them, I feel depressed as well. Is it okay for it to continue like this? …… Well, currently, all the information about us is erased on Earth, but even if it were, I’m sure they have parents. However, for me, it’s more important to have Kannazuki-senpai and the others laughing than to think about those other people’s families.”

“Eh?”

Perhaps my words were unexpected, Kannazuki-senpai had a stunned expression on her face.

“Please leave it to me. I’ll figure something out and bring everyone in.”

“Seiichi-kun …… is it really fine ……?”

“Yes! Because if I don’t help them, you won’t be able to smile, right, Kannazuki-senpai? If so, then I have no choice but to help them.”

I don’t mind about me.

I just, want to make the people I care about laugh.

Therefore, if Kannazuki-senpai wants to help everyone in the school, then ――――.

“I, will take everyone back”

“Seiichi-kun, you……”

When I smiled to reassure her, Kannazuki-senpai seemed to be caught and was relieved, too, and smiled.

“Is that so…… then I’ll offer you this body of mine as a token of my appreciation.”

“Eh”

“Well, I don’t have anything else to offer in this world! What an inconvenience! If this happens, I have no choice but to present my body, right? Look, don’t be shy. Come now, indulge your youthful desires with me!”

“So,soldier-saaaaaaaan!”

In front of Kannazuki-senpai who approached me with a suspicious look, I ran away as fast as I could.
