Chapter 1:
Record of Strongest Swordman: An Adventure in Another World
“I welcome you, o brave heroes. Please with your power save this world from this calamity we received from the demon lord Astartesa.” said the tall old looking man extending both of his hand toward us. From platform that visibly on different height than other bystanders. There’s some smoke that cover the lower platform than the old man
“The hell....?” from me, exhaled a sigh thinking it will be troublesome. Me looking at the old man that was talking nonsense out of nowhere. Sending glare toward the surrounding. The old man took a few steps. But he still holds dignity as he looks at me back.
you can’t just predict what will happen in near future. I Asagi Youichi acknowledge that’s what make life fun and interesting. Well or so it should, what happen now already out of anyone mind. Let me explain in detail. I currently in unknown room that equal to my school gym in size, there many people wearing armor, they have weapon in form of spear, sword in their waist. They look like some kind of soldier, but i don’t familiar with this type of armor. The design is familiar with england middle aged armor soldier. There also some that wearing something similar to robe, they hold huge tree root? Is that magic wand? Well, leave that for later. And there also few that wearing expensive looking clothes and jewelry look like they from upper status here in other word nobles. There’s 4 people on the platform above me they have crown on their head, maybe they’re royalty.
As far that i don’t want to admit, look like i just summoned to another world. Why I can be so sure, you ask? Look there actually people hold magic wand !! and there fucking huge magic circle beneath me!!! And the old man just said DEMON LORD!! Let’s stay cool. The soldier send glares as i look at them, the robe guys chanting something. There also glowing word that circling around the robe guys, as i though those guys are magician. Maybe because i glare on them they being alerted. But despite that, All of them stare in awe on me- or should i said us.
“Owh..Ouch.. Youichi is that you?” a young man trying to get up as he still trying to understand what happen to the unbelievable situation he experience is my childhood friend Miyamoto Kouji. There also other two that just wake up from their short slumber both look around confused.
“You-kun, are you okay ? there a bruise on your hand!!” A petite girl approached me and bring out band aid and wound spray from her pocket in panic. This overreacted girl here is Hayasaka Mia
“Mia, its okay, It’s just small scratch.” As i said trying to calm Mia down. While its look like she still in panic though. As she still persistent to put a band aid to my wound.
“Youichi, where are we? its not like we’re in some film studio right?” the cool and composed way of speaking girl there is Hiiragi Rin. Unlike Mia she is composed and cool while in this weird situation. She is calmly look around and deduced the situation in her own ways.
Both of them are also my childhood friend like Kouji. Four of us are inseparable since young age. As Rin and Kouji came closer to both me and Mia. The people across the hall shown to be anxious.
*sigh I can only let out small sigh.
“why is this happen?” I rubbed my temple to calm my mind. Mia, Rin and Kouji began to feel out of place too, as they see unfamiliar sight.
Let turn back for few hours earlier. As you can guess, i Asagi Youichi just your normal 3rd year high school student. This evening i just happen to wait for my friends at classroom. Rin busy with next Student council members, Kouji training for his club for the last time and Mia have her time with cooking association. In the nice morning, out of nowhere Kouji propose for us to go home together as this year will be the last of our year as highschool students. As we not spend much time together as we do in childhood days. Both Mia and Rin agreed without even waiting for my reply they just decide from the head on. As i not really in any club or committee i just wait in classroom without any real meaning. Sit beside window and reading light novel became my way to kill time before my selfish childhood friends come. Waiting are not bad on it self though. I can see many things just from waiting here. Beautiful evening sky for example, or the girl’s boobs that swing around from sport club that running around the field, Girl’s boobs that sway from stretching over the edge of the field. Its not bad, more like its good!!
“You-kun you’re drooling are you hungry?” Mia questioning from my behind. She wipe my mouth with her handkerchief. She then put small pouch cookies on the table.
“If you want you can eat it. I made enough for Kou-kun and Rin-chan too.” She looking at me with cute smile. I can’t bring it up that i peeking on the girls outside. I can’t bring myself to lose that innocent smile of her!! Anyway the cookies are delicious naturally.
“Don’t be fooled Mia, That pervert are not hungry. He just drooling from seeing the girl’s panties.” Suddenly a loud proclamation. That come from a girl with smirk on her face full of confident Rin enter the room.
“wha-what are you talking about, i am not really seeing anything like panties.” i proudly counter.
“I see, you admiring their boobs huh?”
“YES! Agh-” shit, i messed it up. Rin, you evil one!
“You-kun....” Mia looked at me with sad face. Its not angry or condemning eyes. Just sad, ahh its not like that, i mean its boobs you know. Its my- no all man dream and honor!!
“Ahh..Ahh... look what you have done to our cute Mia.” ITS YOUR FAULT TOO!! No its mine. Lets just honestly apologise.
“Sorry, its just an impulse.” I bow Mia flustered. As i though she’s really cute. On the other hand Rin chuckles from seeing me bowing. Someday i will get my revenge on you!
“Sorry for the wait- what happen?” and just that with the last guy came. Mia gave the pouches with cookies to Rin and Kouji. We chat for a bit, like how Mia cooking turn out so well, also about the next Student body are dependable, how the Kendo club became strong and how i got scholarship to nice university. Just normally live make everything look peaceful, we though there’s will be nothing can change that. Then suddenly the floor shone red and a big circle appeared. And that what lead us here to the present.
“So what really happen here?” Kouji bring himself close to me. Rin and Mia Follow the suit.
“I don’t know, but they should know the answer though. Right, old man over there?” as i move closer to the pondium the old man are, a lot of soldier blocked the way and pointed at me with their weapon. They glare at me with an intend to kill.
“Put down your weapon, its rude to our saviour. My name is Garr Wilhem De Tortas, I am the 65th and the current king of this Tortas the largest Kingdom in the Gargantia Continent. As you can expected, this is another world and we’re the one that summoned you o brave heroes...” the proclaiming King said with strong voice he explain. As expected this is another world, the other Kouji and Mia look really surprise as they can’t believe what they heard. As for Rin she look the same but i know she’s taken back.
“..... about the demon lord astara-something, do you expect us to kill it?” Kouji let out something after a long pause.
“Yes as my prior statement, you the ones that summoned have responsibility to defeat Demon Lord and bring peace to our-”
“Hold your horse old man! responsibility? Defeat demon lord? This doesn’t make any sense!!” i cut the king words, the soldier and the noble around didn’t amused and scorn me. Many people glares at me. I glare back at them and the focused on the king. The king sigh and silence the mass.
“I am apologize for my friend behavior, please continue.” Kouji pat my shoulder, i reluctant back down and decide to listen to the king explaination.
To summarized, this world is in danger since 50 years ago. The demon lord revived and bring disaster around the globe. Not only that demon army increased to unbelievable numbers and strength. Not only that, 12 of the strongest demon named 12th General aid the demon lord and they bring many kingdom and country to their demise. Not only human kingdom, the Elf Great forest, Beastman Kingdom, even Dragon Empire are their victims. In the last hope the king found the ancient magic to summon hero from another world. Which is the thing me, Kouji, Mia and Rin being dragged to.
“And now, please i asked you not as king. But as one of this world humble human. Please save this world for the sake of peace.” The king bowed as far as kneel down. The audience became noisy. As Kouji see this he surprised, Mia also a little flustered. For me and Rin we silently watched the situation. Rin then poked on me.
“Youichi, what do you think?” Rin whispered on me with small voice.
“Flustered Mia is cute to-Ouch!” Rin pinch me, she then pulling my ear. While i joking around she put a really serious face.
“You know that not what i am talking about.” As i though she’s angry. Well for me and Rin who didn’t really care about what happen to this world. We can nonchalantly refused the king’s heartfull request But on the other hand Kouji and Mia huh? Both of them are too naive for they own good. And the king way of explain thing. In other word the way they begged is the most effective way is to seduce Kouji and Mia for cooporations. How cunning and somehow indecent, i need to take action before its too late.
“Sorry, but i think we can’t helped you with request of yours.” As voiced my denial the king that kneel down made surprise expression even Mia and Kouji confused. The place became more noisy all of the sudden. Rin’s expression didn’t change, I can sense their glare stabbed at me.
“Its sad for what happen here, but we’re not just gonna say ‘yes, we’ll help’. While this may be sound cruel, this is not our problem and I’d like to refuses.” The noble like people whispering in the volume that’s not exactly can be categorized as whisper.
“even after our king lowered his head.”
“how coward, did he not understand the situation.”
“imbecile!! He don’t have any right to refuses!!”. And so on, they really said whatever they want huh. And i think my reason was valid, who is gonna help a total stranger fighting some monster, in a place that practically not our world and only know for like 4 page. There no obligation or even reason to do it. And I asked kindly, more over you guys can say that because you guys are not the one fighting. The king kneeled down? I don’t care about that, we dragged into this and force to agreed, iam not wrong, it was normal to decline!!.
“You, How could you said that after see the King begged, he throw his pride for this world, as far as kneeled down in front of us.” Suddenly a soldier rebuke and point his sword at me. He walked toward me with visible thick vein with his rather good sword to my face.
“And you’re?”
“I Fier von Holden, 2nd son of the esteemed General Kurt von Holden, Captain of 1st Royal Knight Army, can’t tolerance anymore insolence toward my lord. You young lad that even doesn’t know how much grief Our people and our King grief over this calamity. Have no right to refuse the responsibility as hero!! ” He glare with not only rage but also scorn toward me. He doesn’t have any slightest doubt to his words. The people around also sending a similiar sight.
“That your problem not ours.”
“Wha-!?”
“We are maybe called here, by you. But it’s not like we will just say yes. We have our own concern too.”
“But, you guys are heroes. You can’t just refuse our pleads.” Owh what classic reason.
“In the first place, I don’t remember we’re being hero or anything. But what we know is, we have our of concern, and we have right to refuses.”
“What that jus-!”
“Cruel? Inhumane? Evil? As far as I know what you guys do are more cruel. Not only you guys bring us here to another world without our permission. When we got here we have to clean your mess? To a total stranger?! You’re just asked us to sacrifices our life, You must be kidding me?!, we’re normal teenager this morning and now without any warning we became your meat shield?! We are not even from your fucking world, we don’t have any fighting experience, so what you’re just gonna throw some innocent child to those monster and called it a day?! In case we’re fail what you’re gonna do, call another so called hero?! See You guys are the cruel one!” before Fier can finish his sentence. I force my way out and corner him. I looked at my surrounding the noble even the royalty went silent. Mia and Kouji looked at me with disbelief, looking calmly from aside Rin only see me rebuke back the people without any visible change on her face. I said what on my mind and man that refreshing, And I’am not wrong.
“I don’t care about any fair that happen here or this world. Your king can beg all he want but our decision is alrea-!” like a child that can’t win over a small argument, Fier swing his sword to me. Like to intentionally avoid me, he attack to a ground in front of me.
“Eh?” Like a wind the sword swayed really fast, the floor in front of me destroys in a flash. It not only that. There’s visible crack and sight of melted ceramics. Magic, huh? Impressive. Not really though.
“Fier, What you have done!?!” the King shout, from behind. Kouji, Mia and Rin behind me surprise and rather shaken.
“It’s already enough, i will KILL YOU!!!” Fier swing another attack, unlike before i can see he chanting something. The sword he held covered with thin red light. As i thought its this world miracle magic. For i who always read light novel and from personal experiences, i know that this is a real life magic. but this is not time to fascinated. In less then 1 second it would be either dead or die. Well now what to do?
“YOUICHI!!” ” YOUICHI –KUN!!”
“I will take that head!!!”
*Clang!!
“What!?” What happen before me is not something i expected. Kouji, he counter the knight’s sword with Shinai. Not only that he succesfully brandished the knight and make the weapon snapped into two piece. The Knight Fier collapsed, he looked at kouji with fear. After closer look the shinai is wrapped in golden fire. But, its not burned literally wrapped. If you have to put it in word, its just like he was unleashed special move. Anything goes with magic, huh? But, its suprising cliches. So Kouji is main character ? Am i stooping character, or is it Fier ? by the way I lost my balance and now I’am in the same level of view with Fier-kun.
“Youichi, Are you okay?”
“Ah- aaah.. i am okay.” Kouji offered his hand and help to me. i obidently accepted the Kouji’s hand. The Knight Fier looked down in fear. The audience became noisy again.
*DONG!!
“Hear my words, my subjects. From here on i forbid any disrespect toward our guest. In the name of 65th king of Tortas Empire Garr Wilhem De Tortas hereby. ” When no one looking the king walked up to pondium and declared. The nobles and the knights bowed down. The only one that not bowed are me, Mia, Rin and Kouji.
“I apologise for my knight’s actions.”
“No, its okay more importantly please put your face up.”
In the different room that not as big as the previous, but as i though still big than any room i ever saw. The king once again bowed before us, there’s no one here beside the king, few knight, 5 nobles and 3 magician and us four. The silent filled the air in this room. Its really awkward. Well there the offence from the knight captain also refusal from me. Its expected to be awkward.
“I- um.. Youichi say something!!” Kouji quickly asking for my help, that eyes full of expectation. I get it, i will not dissapoint you. I answer already set from the start.
“Anyway, can you serve us something to drink And something to eat, sweet if you can. from there we can talk.” I said lightly.
“Youichi!” Kouji hit my shoulder, What wrong with that? I thirsty you know. I even asked for your share too. Be gracefull!
“Yes, where my manner. Duke Barterheilt, can i count on you.” The king’s face became more gentle and let out some chuckles as he found my response amusing.
“Yes, your majesty.”
The king issued the order to the noble beside him, Duke Barterheilt run outside the room followed by 3 knight behind him. The king make a sign to sit on the couch that prepared. In the few moment some maid and return with Duke Barterheilt. They brought in 2 trolley that mount with many dessert, from something like cookies, and one bite sized cake. The other was mount with dishes, i guess it for the plating. There also the requested tea or something like that. If this is England it will be what they called “tea time”. By the way the maids have nice body curve, as expected from another world, there even cat eared girls and dog eared girls. They’re so cute, I want to take them home. Guhehehe, shit I know I can’t but, instead i will burnt this into my memori- Ouch, That hurt!! That hurt!!
“Where are you looking at Youichi!?”
“You-kun Please be serious in the moment!” Mia and Rin pinch me on the side. Both of them really skilled at pinch even for me who once Red Demon of- OUCH!! Did their pinch just got harder! OUCH..OUCH!!! It’s seriously hurt, i could cry!! The maids looking at me chuckles, well maybe looking at me being tortured really that amusing.
“Now, can we once again continue what we left on...”
“Ah, Before that i have something to ask.” While brace myself from pinch of dead from my angelic childhood friend and my demoness childhood friend. Kouji went ahead and asking the king. Even though Kouji the one that ask, Fier glare at me. That man really hate me huh? but the king raise his hand like order Fier to not do anything before Fier can do anything further. Rather why he’s here?
“Judging what just happen, is it that thing i used is magic, is that mean i am the hero ? But there 4 of us, is there only one hero ? Or is it we’re summoned together just coincidence ?” Kouji asked straight to the problem. The king looked quite troubled. His eyes wander for few second and land his gaze at the robe fellow. That gu- no a girl? Ahah, You can’t fooled me even though you hide it in that baggy cape i can hear it[1] your boobs hidden under the garment. Like giving a signal, the girl under robe reveal her face, well.. well.. it’s quite lovely girl, her age probably close to us but as expected from another world not only the maid is high level but the magician is cute too, even though Mia is cuter.
“Hii!!” i sensed blood lust. While looked puzzled to me. The mage girl bowed down and proceed and draw something middair. Is that some kind of magic ?
“My name is Toa di Flameth, i am royal mage and the one that leading the summoning ritual. Pleased to met you.. uh.. is it okay to address you as Kouji-sama?” she quite talkative, she 100 times better than that Fier Guy. She even offer a handshake. But its look like she’s troubled over something. Ah.. i see, Kouji haven’t named himself. Well, we called each other by name. but, any of us haven’t introduce ourself formally. There alot of thing happen its just slipped from our mind.
“My name is Kouji Miyamoto, 3rd year of senior high school. The pleasure is all mine Flameth-dono.” As expected from our kendo prince, not only bishounen he also handsome.
“Such flattery, You can call me Toa. Kouji-sama.” Kouji shake her hand with a blush. She’s fallen the power of kendo prince. The blushed mage face is too bright its burning!! Her bishoujo power is over 90000[2].
“Since we’re at it why don’t we introduce ourself first. A lot of thing happen we haven’t even named ourself. Is it okay?”
“Yes, as Kouji-dono wish. Please by all mean.” The king gave his approval to Kouji. And then Rin and Mia stood up. Mia visibly nervous you can see her cute face flustered she goes “Awawa-”. As for Rin she’s stood up with cool face,so cool as far i want to call her onee-sama.
“M-my name is Mia Hayasaka. I maybe still novice but pl-pleased to meet you! ” Is this Marriage Interview*!?! Youichi-Papa didn’t approve this!!
“I am Rin Hiiragi, Nice to meet you.” As expected simple is the best.
“.....”
Kouji send a glare that told me [Youichi, hurry up!], he lightly kicked my leg. Wait a minute, i still in the middle of drinking tea. It’s quite good one too, as i continue to drink my tea. Kouji began to put force to his kicks. I get it, you want some introduction right? I will do it! Look my great intro!!
“Youichi Asagi. 18 year old, A-type, birthday 21 december, favorite food ochazuke, least favorite food natto, hobby muscle training, height 170cm still growing and girl ty--GAHA!!”
“Do it seriously!!” Kouji just hit me with his fist?! How could you!! Even my old man never hit me[3]!! No, he hit me everyday.
“I do, i even add fanservice” Adding reasonable words to my excu- no my raison d’etre!!
“No one need that, i mean what’s with ‘height 170cm still growing’ are you a child!?” Kouji Snapped at me. He clearly shook my body, ahh That little Kouji already strong enough to retort me, no he wa-BIT taller. But there one thing i can’t even forgive.
“what do you mean, idiot!? Just because you a little taller don’t get full of yourself idiot!!”
“That not what i meant, you idiot!!”
“Only idiot that call idiot, idiot!!”
“What?! That.. you the first to call me idi-GEHH!!”
“GAHA!!” while i and kouji share an insult to each other. A pair of hand hit our head with the speed of mach. Its the demon- i mean Rin’s hand, she look down to the two of us as she send another punch.
“Read the mood you two, we’re in the serious situation!!”
“Yes, ma’am!”
“It’s hurt bakarin, you don’t need to hit my head!!”
“ooh.., you right i should kick your head instead?”
“No, please i will die.” I prostated to the holy demon asking for forgiveness as she bestowed the humble me her marvelous leg. The king astonished, not only that the people around are let out giggles and amused with our casual skit.
“...Well, it’s rather pleased. There’s not need to be so tense. Like Youichi-dono please at ease.” The king chuckles as he speak. The air around became quite light, as expected from me. I am the man that enlighten the air without even trying.
“I apologize for my behavior.”
“It’s already to late for that Rin, look how afraid the-GUHA!! ” Rin notice that she being to rude in front royalties hide her embarrassment while kicking me. The room filled with laughter, in the price of my body i able protected this place happiness.
“In the end, we still don’t understand anything.”-that what Kouji said. Four of us are humans from another world. We need to understand this world more to be able to see the problem of this world. We know how magic are powerful, for the one who feel it first from any of us four. Kouji can feel amazing power from it. But he can’t ignore my view because in the end we’re still strangers.
“I know just as Asagi-dono mention, this is shameless for me to ask you this again but again. But this is the only way left for us. The demons army are just that strong, nothing on this world can stop him. Please once again, Kouji-dono..” not only the king the nobles, the knights and the maids far from lowered their head as far as they kneel. Kouji looked troubled. I about to refused, but Kouji stopped me. He send me a look, after see that i realise he already decided.
“Please raise your head, if with the small power that i have i can help you. I will be glad help.” Kouji said with a smile. Is’t just me or he became more shining then before? Ah he too bright our kendo prince has been upgraded. The king and his surrounding touched by Kouji’s kindness, as he shake Kouji’s hand and thanks him as many as he can. I can even see him crying. Well people behind him are crying too. Maybe they are really cornered, even i can understand a little bit of their feeling. But it’s still their problem. But once Kouji decided he will not consent.
“Are you okay with this Youichi?” Rin casually asked to me. While holding her head looking at kouji.
“The tea is great, the maids are cute and-” while a started joking around Rin’s eyes are not smiling like her mouth. Her hand shown to grip an invisible little me. Is this illusion? No, future sight? i began to sweat a lot.
“*cough.. well he already decided it, if it Kouji no one can stop him. Don’t worry, If anything happen i will do something about it.”
“Like always then..?”
“Yes.” As we speak i can feel her gaze became more mellowed. Rin look at me like she can’t helped it. Don’t stare me with that eyes i will fall in love again, you know. As i sigh, some fat ass nobl- they not really fat though, I fact they bunch of good looking man. They trying to reach their hand on Mia. How dare they trying to touch my little angel, who do they think they are!? Youichi-papa didn’t approved this. I lightly grab Mia’s hand and glare at the nobles and leave them.
“We gonna hero ceremony to know what kind of magic you have and blessing goddess gave. While this afternoon Kouji-dono let out light magic there still possibility you still have another. But as expected the day is late, lets postponed until tomorrow. Mia-dono, Rin-dono, Youichi-dono by all mean please participated it too. ” The robe magical girl said. Well it’s nothing to lose chance. Rin and Mia seemed to willing to participated. I will say no more.
“We already prepare the room for hospitality. There a lot of room in this castle after all. Please choose the one you like most.” The King’s mood really shoot up, he said all of that with really disgusting laugh and smile. The other too look really happy, they show around the castle to Kouji, Mia and Rin. They casually ignore me though, well i against their wish once. It’s as expected they didn’t see me in bright light. Suddenly the king lowered his speed to match mine.
“I am sorry Youichi-dono, i seemed to push our problem to you and the other 3.” The king said with apologetic tone. He look sad but still smile, a bitter smile though.
“Don’t worry, i am still bothered with it though. But, Kouji already decided he will help. I just gonna aid him so he will not do anything reckless.”
“I see, you’re really kind huh, Youichi-dono?”
“Pardon?” The king said with bitter smile then let out a small laugh like some old geezer i know.
“Just before you said, you will not help us and not let Kouji-dono, Mia-dono or Rin-dono to speak their thought because you already know that they can’t refused right especially Kouji-dono and Mia-dono. You take the bad actor and let yourself be the bad guys so even if you have to take our wish either way we will only see you as the bad one and still treated the other 3 nicely.” The king said to me while explained the whole reason why i refused them by myself. He not looking like a d*mbledore but actually he is one huh? Well I hope king orientation nothing like that old mage though. He stare at me with kind eyes. And patted my shoulder.
“I don’t know what you're talking about. I just wanna go home as soon as i can. It’s not- ” as i tried to deny his word suddenly he cut my line.
“Please, you don’t need to lie. I may look like this but I am still the king. Seeing lies and deception for many decades. Your little lie will not pass me.”
“Please don’t worry even though i said Kouji-dono will fight. I will not let him fight alone. I have trusted knight, trusted allies and our belief. They surely protect all of you. We won’t let you fight alone, I promise this.” He said while looking far and fondly. He maybe really trust what he said deeply. He said that knowing that all my words are meant for protecting Kouji and the others. While i still not trust him fully. This old man might not a bad guy for now.
We went to eat dinner afterward and guess where we eat? Another big hall. There’s the king, beautiful older lady I’d like to think as queen. I meant she wear crown too. There’s also two more girl, that I guessing are princess, why I know? Same reason as the queen. Because of how grand the eating hall is and also the food. We don’t really talk during dinner.
And the time passed again, its decided that i and Kouji will share room while Mia will be with Rin. The king offered to each of us our own personal room. But Rin and Kouji refused as the room will be too big for us to sleep. When i said i want to share mine with Mia as expected Rin gave me a lovely good night punch to my face. In the end i slept in the same room with Kouji. There 2 bed and small table each on the side of the bed at the end of the left side of the room there wardrobe and there a guest corner with the curtain after it, the window is closed but maybe there balcony outside.
“Youichi, you already sleep?”
“Yes, you should to...”
“You still wake aren’t you, hey Youichi!!” he’s really loud its 3 in the morning a good kid should sleep. Its bad for your growing, he already big enough though if he grow more I will be sad. He shaking my body with a lot of force.
“What is it, i am tired you know?” i wake up and sit on the side of my bed, Kouji stand up. He look quite distressed. What is it Kendo Ouji, Want me to take you to toilet?
“A- it’s you know... sorry...” Kouji lowered his head
“I forgive you. Good night.” I answer with full speed and cover my body with blanket with 3 times faster. Kouji grab the edge of my blanket prevent me to fully cover my face.
“Take it seriously, i even lowered my head you know? Do you even know why i apologise?” he looked serious. He sit on his bed. I tossed my blanket and face him.
“If it about before you don’t need to think about it. I already know this may be happen so its cool man.”
“But, i accepted their wish without even consulted it with the others. Thats why...” I tossed my blanket, it fine cloth better than my futon.
“then I ask you, have you thought what you have done today?”
“yeah, I cant just leave them to die. I have this power for a reason.”
“because you have power you just have to save them?”
“I mean if no.. that, what the meaning of this power?”
“have you ever though what will happen to Rin and Mia?”
“what do you mean?”
“you have power, but that does not mean Rin, Mia or even me have that kind power.”
“that is… I’am sure the king and this country will do something.”
“they make you hero, to you someone that not even from this world. Did they even asks your permission? Do you think they are kind enough to not bind you by taking Mia and Rin as Hostage? Can you even believe what they say, about that something-something demon lord?”
“they could held Mia and Rin as hostage as we speak. Heck maybe next morning they already put into jail and they will force us to cooperate with defeat demon lord things.”
“thats!?! but i…”
“*sigh Its already done, you can’t helped it right? That just kind person you are.” I said to Kouji, he shrugged his shoulder. Seeing that i patted his shoulder.
“you’re too kind that’s one of your good point.”
“but just being kind doesn’t mean you have to help everyone. 1 kindness isn’t enough to save million.”
“…”
“I’am sorry, I haven’t thought that far..”
“Don’t worry, if anything happen. I will do something. Its always like that right?”
“Youichi... thanks.”
“Anyway, just sleep. We have busy agenda tomorrow.”
“You’re right, good night.” Kouji finally settle down and went to sleep. Hearing snoring from his bed. I wake up and walk to the Windows and peeked to outside, While looking at the 3 colored moon outside the brick window i thought, This is really another world... also, there’s balcony outside. How classic..
