Volume 1 Chapter 1

( t/n : Also, for those wondering, I use the question marks (???) for a character that the reader and MC don’t know yet. It’s fun as a reader with mystery and all that.

( t/n : I was gonna drop it yesterday because I was feeling good after watching sports, but thankfully I didn’t because there were some major mistakes that had to be fixed)

“It looks like the next summoning will be my last, so I’m going to put all my accumulated cheats to good use.” (MC)

With that, the goddess held up her hands to me, closed her eyes, and began to chant something.

(Ooh, long eyelashes…)

“Don’t think about something unimportant.” (Goddess)

Oh, she read my mind.

“Well then, I suggest you look at your status as soon as you are summoned. Maybe if you look at the status section with the appraisal ability of your right eye, you can find out some details.” (Goddess)

Thank you for your thoughtfulness.

A purple light rises from my feet. ( t/n: so many colors for just one transportation spell, each time he got summoned it was different)

I wonder if I will be summoned standing up at least for the last time.

This is a great way to get the most out of your business. I can’t wait to go to bed and sleep.

“I’m not sure what to say. It’s been a while since I’ve talked to another person for this long, so it was fun.” (Goddess)

“I can’t believe how much time God has. Well, it was fun talking to such a beautiful woman too. See you later.” (MC)

“Yeah. If we ever meet again.” (Goddess)

To be honest, I don’t want to have to come here again…

With that in mind, I took off to the last world.

“Welcome! Welcome, heroes!” (???)

It’s my personal buzzword of the moment.

What a joke.

“What the hell is this place?” (???)

“Ryuto? Aoi?” (???)

“Tamaki!” (Either Ryuto or Aoi)

Mmm? There was a lot of noise beside me.

I looked to the side and saw three people around my age making noise.

“Mm? There’s a tradition that there are three brave men …….” (???)

Hmm.

There are three brave men.

The three of us who were summoned together with me knew each other.

I’m a stranger.

I’m not sure.

“You got summoned at the last minute!” (MC)

I shouted.

“So you’re saying that the three of us are the heroes and you’re just an ordinary person who got involved?” (???)

“I think so. I’m almost certain of it.” (MC)

I had a conversation with the first person who greeted me, probably the king.

The other three are still stunned, by the way.

“Hmm. For now, can you touch this tablet? It identifies the blessings bestowed upon the hero.” (The King)

The king brought the tablet to me.

Then I’ll touch it first.

“Please.” (King)

When I touched the tablet, it glowed slightly and letters appeared on it.

Detection.

Brief!

Only two letters?

“Detect? Looks like you had a blessing, but this is….” (King)

I can’t tell if you’re a brave man or not with this.

It’s a good idea to have a good idea of what you’re looking for.

“Oh, um, I’d like you to explain the situation to me. ……” (???)

“I’m sorry, I forgot. I’m sorry, I forgot. He was so involved in the situation. For more information, ask my daughter, the First Princess, who summoned you.” (King)

With that, the king pointed behind him.

There was a small girl with twin-tailed blond hair standing there.

“Hmm! You are the heroes of the other world, aren’t you? I summoned them for you, you know? Be grateful!” (First Princess)

The sassy princess!

“Now, quickly kneel before me!” (First Princess

That’s what she said, and the four of us kneeled before Miss Chimikko.

I’m not moving from earlier, but there are quite a few knights surrounding us.

I’m not sure if this is a good idea or not, but I think it’s a good idea.

By the way, the princess is wearing a long skirt, so you can’t see inside her skirt even if she kneels.

Tsk.

The first princess is small and young, out of my strike zone, but I’m sure she’ll be a beauty in the future.

She is a superbly beautiful girl. The only drawback is that she has a harsh personality.

I’m sure there’s a demand for that somewhere.

“Well, I’ll let you guys know what’s going on. Be grateful!” (First Princess)

How many times do I have to thank her?

“First of all, you are in our kingdom, the Kingdom of the Rising Sun.” (First Princess)

Tete-a-tete, tete-a-tete, tete-a-tete, tete-a-tete.

Tete-a-tete, Tete-a-tete, Tete-a-tete, Tete-a-tete.

Ha, I sang it.

No, there are glittering names for countries, aren’t there?

“Also known as the Land of the Rising Sun.” (First Princess)

Please don’t bring Japan into this.

“There are humans, subhumans and demons in this world. There are humans, subhumans, and demons in this world, and we’ll talk about them next time. The demon tribe is the enemy of humans, and they have created a country with a demon king at the top, and they are invading our territory.” (First Princess)

I wonder where the subhumans went.

“So, the leader of the League of Human Nations, the McCarter Empire, called out to the nations. So the McCarter Empire, the leader of the League of Human Nations, called upon all nations to summon the brave.” (First Princess)

Thank God, there are some decent names for countries in this world.

“The only people who can summon brave men and women are women of royalty. That means you, me! Be grateful!” (First Princess)

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

“And then raise those brave men and women in each country to form a brave army to fight against the Demon King’s army, right? What do you think? Isn’t it wonderful!” (First Princess)

I had no idea it was a “numbers over quality” strategy. It’s also known as a “bad shot is worth a thousand hits” strategy.

“And that’s why you were summoned. Now, as a representative of the Rising Sun Kingdom, you must become unashamedly strong and defeat the Demon Lord!” (First Princess) (t/n: way too much of her in this chapter. wayyy too much.)

Stop it. Every time I hear the name of that country, I blow.

“I’m sorry, First Princess. May I ask you a question? ……?” (Ryuto)

One of the three heroes, who was called Ryuto earlier because he was a man, opened his mouth.

I’m not sure what to make of it.

He looks like an athlete who can also study.

“I’ll allow him to speak. I’ll allow you to speak. Thank you.” (First Princess)

“Can we go back to the original world?”

Prototypical question again…

No, I’ve been summoned so many times I’ve forgotten that question.

“No, you can’t. There is no way to return. In fact, you can be the proud heroes of the Rising Sun Kingdom. Shouldn’t we be grateful and not have to go back?” (First Princess)

There’s no way to go home?

You should learn from the spirit of service of the Kingdom of Haigen. ( r/n : yep definitely)

I’m not sure what to make of it.

“……” (Ryuto)

It’s a great way to make sure you’re getting the most out of your money.

It’s a good idea. It’s a good idea to have a good idea of what you’re doing.

“Well, I’ll let your rudeness slide with my generous heart. Be grateful.” (First Princess)

I wonder if this princess will be satisfied if I just make her listen to my gratitude.

Or is she trying to start a new religion?

“I don’t think so, but do you have any other questions?” (First Princess)

“Well, can I start?” (MC)

Then I’ll ask a question.

“Go ahead. I forgive you. Thank you.” (First Princess)

“Yes, yes, thank you, thank you, thank you overwhelmingly.” (MC)

The knight behind me buzzed at my irreverent attitude.

And the knight beside me, Ryuto, whispered in a whisper, “He’s making a parody of Kaji at this time. ).

You must be a secret otaku.

“Is there such a thing as level or status in this world?” (MC)

“What? What are you talking about?” (First Princess)

“No, it’s nothing.” (MC)

I said, and backed off.

The two girls of the three heroes are looking at me with very cold eyes.

And Ryuto is looking at me like he understands how I feel.

What the hell is this guy?

And I was smiling inwardly at the princess’s answer.

This might make me stronger to some extent.

That is, if I’m right.

“Now, I want you all to touch this tablet first. After that, we will measure your physical strength and magic power. This is to determine who the three heroes are, but rest assured that we will not treat those who were not heroes poorly.” (The King)

The king’s last words were directed at me.

“In the event that you are not a brave person, you are still an important person because you have an extravagant ability called a blessing, and you should be treated with respect.” (The King)

“I’ll give it a try then.” (Ryuto)

Ryuto’s blessing was ‘breaking through the limits’.

It’s a good idea to have a good idea of what you’re looking for.

It’s a good idea to take a look at the status board to see if there is anything you can do to help. I’ll quit being human!

Well, since there is no status in this world, I think the latter is more likely.

In addition, the other two girls’ blessings were “magic affinity” and “boundary art”.

Incidentally, the former is Tamaki and the latter is Aoi.

In other words, Ryuto should be a swordsman, Tamaki a magician, and Aoi a warder.

Reference : I (MC): Detection.

I feel like I’m being left out of this group.

I’m supposed to be a thief. I should be a scout, is that what you’re saying?

As a result of the physical and magical strength measurements that followed, Ryuto’s physical strength showed an inhuman ability, and Aoi and Tamaki’s magical strength showed extraordinary results, especially Tamaki’s.

Me? I was torn to shreds.

I had magic power, but zero talent for manipulation. No chance of growth.

I think my physical strength was rather higher before I was summoned. I couldn’t generate any power at all.

I also had a headache when I took my physical fitness test.

I guessed that my physical strength had increased after becoming a vampire, but maybe I was wrong. ( t/n: try and guess why he can’t pull out his true strength as a vampire)

Maybe that knight in the Kings Guard who got hit was just too weak. Why is that guy in charge of the Kings Guard?

After that, I was invited to a banquet, where I ate some not-so-tasty food (The other three seemed to enjoy it a lot. Is my sense of taste okay?) The king gave us words of encouragement, and the first princess gave us words of scorn.

After that, the four of us were each given a room in the royal castle, and one maidservant was sent to each of us.

We were treated well, after all.

I’m lucky that I’m not suddenly dispatched for trouble like other summoning protagonists, forced to transfer to another planet, betrayed by the first princess I trusted and stripped of my body, or betrayed by my classmates and locked up in an ancient labyrinth. ( t/n : A lot of revenge isekai’s happen to have that plot. I’m thinking of two specifically rn)

Well, there was a guy who liked to leave. The one who always uses empty letters.

Well, I’m in a better situation than them at the moment, so let’s think positively.

They always become the strongest or rise to the top, but I don’t care.

Now, the four of us are gathered in Ryuto’s room. It’s an eight-mat room with a bed and a few pieces of furniture.

“I want to discuss the future with everyone.” (Ryuto)

Ryuto stated.

One of the girls, I think it was …… Tamaki, pointed at me and said.

“I’m not sure why he’s even here.” (Tamaki)

What’s wrong with that? Didn’t your mother teach you not to point at people when you were little?

And when they say that, you can reply like this.

“Then what do you say to the middle finger?” That’s the answer.

This will be on the exam.

“He’s not a hero, is he? It’s not good to involve people who can’t help you.” (Tamaki)

At first glance, it seems like an arrogant and selfish statement, but in my brain I’m thinking, “He’s not a hero, he’s irrelevant. There’s no need to risk his life when he can’t fight. It’s enough for us to fight him now that we’ve become heroes. You can convert it to it being:

That, this girl is a tsundere!

Tamaki’s slightly brownish hair is tied back in a single bun.

Her chest is a brick wall. I can’t see the bulge in her uniform shirt.

I’m not the kind of person who decides whether something is good or bad based on the size of its breasts.

She is slender, but not slender, more like toned.

His skin is lightly tanned and colored by healthy blood.

Her neck is clean and her eyes are crisp and strong.

“No, not at all. Detection is an important ability, I’m sure of it. In fact, I think he has the most practical ability of the three. There’s no need to single him out.” (Ryuto)

Well, I suppose so.

“He is not only a scout, but also might be a great help as a guard, in night battles, and melee battles.” (Ryuto)

“But I don’t want to be wiped out because he’s dragging us down and we’re covering for him.” (Tamaki)

It’s as if she’s a true tsundere, unlike that princess.

“I’m not sure what to say. I’m not sure what to do, but I’m sure I’ll be able to do it.” (MC)

“I’ll do my best if you say so, Ryuto.” (Tamaki)

In contrast to the active Tamaki, Aoi is silent.

I’m not sure what to make of it.

And her breasts are huge.

She’s wearing a vest, but it’s not a vest.

She is wearing a vest, but it is too powerful to hide.

Her white skin is lightly peach-colored by the blood that runs underneath it, and it doesn’t make her look unhealthy. The nape of her neck, glimpsed through the collar of her shirt, glowed white.

Looking at them again, the three of them are a mass of beautiful men and women.

What is it with these guys? Are they the protagonists?

“Oh, you’re so sweet.” (Tamaki)

“Always.” (Ryuto)

What the hell, guys?

Oh, the three of them are creating they’re own world.

I feel like I’m being excluded when I shouldn’t be.

“Oh, by the way, I had something I wanted to ask you. Can you guarantee that I’m from the same place as you three?” (MC)

“What?” (Ryuto)

“I mean, I’m not a Japanese high school student by any stretch of the imagination.” (MC)

The two girls looked at each other like they didn’t understand.

But Ryuto seems to have lost his mind. You are indeed a hidden geek. I’m sure you’ll be able to pick up some of those templates.

“I’m not talking about the level of the country or anything like that, I’m talking about the difference in the world unit. In other words, like a parallel world.” (MC)

Ah.

Hmm.

At first glance, the idea of a parallel world seems unbelievable, but since I’ve actually been to another world, I can’t help but believe it.

I’ve been summoned a number of times, so I take the idea more for granted.

Ryuto looked up at me.

“Do we really need to discuss that now?” (Ryuto)

“I don’t know, but it is possible that our common sense and perceptions are a little off. I don’t know, but it is possible that our common sense and perceptions are slightly off.” (MC)

“It’s hard for us to admit that we are different from others. However, if we draw a line between the difference and the problem of another culture, or even another world, it can be easily accepted.” (Ryuto)

“But how can we be sure? Do you want to compare your knowledge?” (MC)

“No, we don’t need to waste time on that, we just need to be sure, even if it’s temporary, that we’re in the same world.” (Ryuto)

However, what should I do?

……By the way, Koitsu Ryuto was a hidden otaku.

“… Are you a tomato?” (MC)

“I’m a potato! Gashi!” (Ryuto)

The two girls looked at us suspiciously when suddenly squeezed their hands tightly. ( t/n : kinda like that bro handshake)

“So, do you think it’s okay to stay in this country as it is?” (Tamaki)

However, “What are you talking about? Isn’t this country wonderful?” (MC)

While laughing, I typed letters into my smartphone and showed them to three people.

“Oh, you should fulfill your duty as a hero.” (MC)

While saying so, Ryuto looked into the screen. As expected. It seems that this guy just guessed it.

“We’re being eavesdropped. Don’t talk about anything extraordinary.” (MC)

My blessing and detection are very active. This ability is amazing. You can feel the signs of people and creatures up to the other side of the wall. And if you rely on it, one person is listening near the door of this room. By the way, all the maids in the room were told too leave.

“Isn’t there anything else to talk about? Let’s play something and get to know each other. I’m just bringing Trump, so let’s play with a wink murder.” (MC)

I feel that the flow of the story is a little forced, but I don’t care. While speaking, I typed in new letters.

“Aoi, can you make a soundproof barrier?” (MC)

It’s a little useless. If you couldn’t make it, you would have to dive into the futon in order to discuss.

Aoi nodded, trying, and raised her hands on the ceiling. The next moment, there was a tingling sensation in the detection.

“Successful, but I’m not used to it, so I can’t keep it for too long.” (Aoi)

“No, it’s enough Aoi. Thank you.” (Ryuto)

“Ehehe” (Aoi)

Aoi who is praised by Ryuto and smiles sloppily. Isn’t it possible to flirt outside the barrier?

Apparently, the way to use the blessings seems to be instinctively understandable.

By the way, if you put on a soundproof barrier, the sound will probably not leak outside and you will be suspicious, but it is a wink murder for that. It’s not unnatural even if you don’t speak. The only unnatural thing is to do it with four people…… It’s a big problem. Well, I don’t think there is a wink murder in this world, so let’s tell the rules of the wink murder arranged on that side.

“So why did you do such a troublesome thing?” Tamaki asks with a moody face.

“Why do you think we’re being eavesdropped? By the way, you’re probably a national person.”

I will listen for the contrary.

I’m going to ask her back.

It’s not that I want to make them think or anything like that.

I’m not sure if it’s a good idea, but it’s probably a good idea.

“I think it’s to see if we’re are against the state or not.” (MC)

“I think so too.” (Ryuto)

“What? Why?” (Tamaki)

Tamaki asked again.

Maybe it that she is not only tsundere, but also has stupid child-like attributes?

“Tamaki, you may not realize it, but our heroic powers are a threat to this world. Maybe it can shake this nation. What would happen if they found out that such an existence has treasonous thoughts.” (MC)

“Crush the buds before they get stronger …. Make it so that we were never summoned as the heroes in the first place.” (Ryuto)

“Thank you, Ryuto. I’m not sure what to do.” (Tamaki)

“I’m sure you’ll be happy to know that I’m not the only one.” (Ryuto)

“I’m sure the country is in dire straits.” (MC)

The three of them put question marks on my words.

I’ll have to explain this to them.

“I can’t be sure, because I don’t know anything about the world, but I think the country is in a tight spot, mainly financially.” (MC)

“What’s your reasoning?” (Ryuto)

“First of all, the king moves too much. I don’t know if his vassals have loyalty to him or if he has no way to get them to serve him, but either way, it’s a problem. Also, there are too few vassals. The food is not good. This room is also too small for a room in a royal castle given to a hero.” (MC)

That’s about it.

Well, if you were living as an ordinary Japanese, you might not notice it.

I can compare it to the kingdom of Haigen, where I was first summoned.

“So that’s it” (MC)

“But the food was delicious, right?” (Ryuto)

“Yeah. It was simple, but the spices and garlic worked, and I didn’t say that the taste was light. It’s like Italian, which isn’t too flashy?” (Tamaki)

“Complete meal” (Aoi)

Huh? Is there something wrong with my taste buds?

“Well, I don’t know what’s common in this world, but you didn’t get anything fancy, did you? Maybe the chef is good, but…” (MC)

“Well, if you ask me, it’s …….”

Yeah. I’ll take that as a yes. ( t/n : he’s talking about his taste being weird)

“Are you saying there’s a chance this country could die?” (Tamaki)

“Yeah. Maybe the summoning of the brave was a way to escape that.” (MC)

I’m sure I’ll be rewarded by the sovereign state of the United Nations.

I’m not sure what to do.

“To be honest, you should also consider leaving this country. Fortunately, you can use my detection to get through the security network. Then you should find a way to return to the original world.” (MC)

The three of them twitched at the word “back to the world.”

Yes, we are the lifeline for this country. Maybe.

We can’t just let them go.

Even if there is a way to repatriate ( t/n: return to earth) them, there is a possibility that this country is hiding them.

“It would be foolish to do it right now, though.” (Ryuto)

“I agree with you. We don’t have enough power or knowledge yet. We don’t have the power or the knowledge yet, and if we leave the country, we might even antagonize the League of Nations.” (MC)

“Yeah. I guess we’ll see how it goes for a while.” (Tamaki)

Ryuto claps his hand.

“For the time being, the course of action has been decided. Wait for a while. But in the meantime, gain strength and knowledge. And be able to respond to whatever happens. Is there any objection?” (Ryuto)

Silence flowed and no objection was considered.

“So, is there anything else you want to ask?” (Ryuto)

“Oh, so I’m good?” (MC)

Tamaki raised her hand.

“Hmm, what?” (Ryuto)

I want to ask this guy.

By “this guy”, she means me.

Nothing to say about this.

“What is it? I’ll tell you anything you want to know, except what size you are.” (MC)

“Who wants to know?” (Ryuto)

Oh. Looks like he’s got a good sense of humor.

You have a promising future.

I’m not sure what to make of it.

“I’m not sure what your left eye is. It’s yellow.” (Tamaki)

………….

…………………………..

……………………………………………….

I forgot!!!!!!

I forgot that I had an odd eye!

Damn, why did you forget this! In this case, I should have gone with a one-eyed character right after the summoning!

Aoi seemed to have had the same question, and nodded her head.

I’m not sure why Ryuto was holding his head in his hands.

“……….. Look, Tamaki. I’m not sure what to do. He is at that age. It’s a little late for that. …… leave him alone.” (Ryuto)

Oh, Ryuto, you’re mistakenly thinking I’m a midget with a colored contact lens in one eye, aren’t you?

Okay! Let’s go with that!

“What?” (MC)

I acted as if I was surprised and held one of my eyes.

“Well, is my evil eye unsealed …!?” (MC)

Oh, I feel that the sensible temperature has dropped by about 5 degrees.

“Damn, apparently, the seal was broken because I passed through the space-time gap! … Hey, Tamaki. You didn’t see anything. That’s right? It’s good to have a soundproof barrier … Yes. Without them, they might have been killed by the Black Esperion (BE) because you knew the secret.” (MC)

I look over at the three of them. The two girls are looking at me with sub-zero eyes, and Ryuto is looking at me with a red face.

What is it? What is it? Did you have a time like this too?

“Well, let’s keep talking. Do you have any other questions?” (MC)

I asked, covering my left eye with my hand as if nothing had happened.

He didn’t ask any questions, he just looked at me with a look that I couldn’t face.

I felt like I was losing something important instead of keeping a secret.
