“This is…”
“It’s a guest room. It’s a great room.”
Slowly getting up. It seems I was tucked in a big bed.
When Tobino told me to look around the room, it was indeed a large and luxurious room. The floor is covered with what appears to be a carpet and there is an expensive-looking figurine near the wall.
Tobino was sitting in a chair.
“I’m ……I believe.”
“I was blown up by the magical impact and passed out.”
“Blown?”
That’s right. The robed guy released a white blob and then I don’t remember anything about it.
I didn’t know I was blown up …….How did I live when I was supposed to have taken a fatal hit?
“Elle will talk to you about that part again.”
“Elle ……?”
“Yeah. Elle is the same age as us. She’s so small and cute.”
When did you and Princess Elle get along so well……
“Why is Tobino here…..?”
“What? You see, I’m a health commissioner.”
“A commissioner is…”
That’s a school thing.
I was about to say it, but my mouth didn’t open.
It was because Tobino’s expression seemed to be somewhat filled with anxiety.
“This isn’t our world, is it?”
“……”
“The sky doesn’t seem to be any different.”
The sky from the window was a bright azure color.
“I like it.”
“…… Huh?”
“This Hour of Blue.“
“Yeah……”
I wondered what he was going to say all of a sudden, but no, really, what is he saying?
“I mean, what time is it?”
“Hmm, it’s about 6:00 p.m. In our world, it’s the end of the journey.”
“….”
“I hear it’s time for travelers to find a place to stay.”
I saw the number ’30’ around Tobino’s neck as she explained this to me.
“Oh, this? I signed up with everyone except for Mr. Spinning Wheel. The other one is Elle.
I heard there’s actually an upper limit for the level, but it doesn’t seem to be there for us from another world.”
Tobino, who noticed my gaze and pointed at the numbers, gave a small smile, “Ehehehe.”
“Is Mr. Spinning Wheel really going to lose his status?”
“Want to try ……?”
“Yeah……I don’t have a knife.”
I said it as a joke, but Tobino nodded and brought her thumb to her mouth.
When a crunching sound was heard, Tobino’s lips were covered in a beautiful red color.
“How can you do that? ……”
“Really? It only hurts for a moment. I’ll do it for you too, Mr. Spinning Wheel.”
Tobino grabbed my hand from the bed and bit off the tip of my thumb.
“Here.”
“Yes….”
I sit on the bed and face Tobino.
“I swear to Mithras, the god of love and friends, that I hereby desire a new bond.”

“Really. It goes down.”
Tobino moves next to me and looks at the status.
“You know what? I need to release it.”
I stand up hurriedly and cancel the contract, remembering Princess Elle’s ways.
There was a red bolt of lightning, but it didn’t hurt at all.
“You didn’t have to be in such a hurry to unlock it……”
“Shouldn’t you go back to your classmates?”
“Hmm? Oh, yeah.”
Tobino gets up from the bed.
“I have good news and bad news.”
“Good news first.”
To Tobino, who smiled a slightly nasty smile, I answered immediately.
It’s good to hear the good news first.
“The good news is that as a result of discussions between Elle and Mitsumoto-kun, our human rights, food, clothing, and shelter will be guaranteed by the state.”
“Well, I suppose. So, what’s the bad news?”
It’s good to hear that.
This is because bad news are usually the downside of good news.
“Instead, we need to go train and defeat the demons.”
“That’s what we were summoned for all along.”
Since I was forced to be in this situation, I feel that I can be a little more extravagant. I don’t think I can afford to do that now.
The minor issues will be when we’re all settled into this world.
“And one more thing.”
“There’s more?”
“I didn’t say I had one piece of bad news.”
This makes me feel bad.
I listened in silence.
“Unfortunately, Spinning Wheel-kun, whose status will be reduced, will be given a different set of training.”
