「……What do you think」(Naoto)
Naoto sat down on a comfortable sofa and asked the other four.
This is one of the reception rooms, not far from the summoning room. After Patiyu explained the situation, he asked her to leave the room so that the five of us could discuss it alone.
「It’s kind of hard to believe, but…… it’s real, right?」 (Yuki)
Yuki stared at the ring on her hand without looking up.
First of all, in this world, there is magic power and it’s filled with mana, the source of it.
Second of all. Everything that exists in this world except for inorganic matters contain magic power.
Third of all. All living things in this world use magic power and consume mana in order to operate. The consumed mana is discharged as miasma, and this miasma exists due to the birth of demons.
Once every few hundred years, enough miasma gathers together to cover the entire world, and a great disaster occurs on a scale that could destroy this world.
「And the means to counter that great calamity is to summon a hero from another world…… right?」 (Erika)
Everyone nodded at Erika’s words.
「But what about me?」 (Ryou)
Ryou’s question was justified.
Since he didn’t have any title of hero or squire in his status, nor any of the skills he had were considered necessary for combat, he was unable to grasp his position in this world. He wondered if he had the strength to deal with the great disaster.
「It’s okay, we can handle it if we work together. I’m Naoto Hyuga, a junior at Seiryo High School, nice to meet you.」 (Naoto)
「Naoto was the captain of the baseball team until the other day～」 (Yuki)
Yuki added from the side with a smile.
Naoto is over six feet tall, and his tanned skin, sharp eyebrows, and nose and eyes make him a refreshingly handsome sportsman.
「I’m Ryou. I’m a sophomore at Gangnam Industry.」 (Ryou)
「I didn’t know you were only a year younger. You’re so calm, I thought you were the same age as me or a university student. I’m Yuki Takashina, nice to meet you.」 (Yuki)
Yuki kept her face turned toward her colleague and pointed at Naoto.
「Naoto looks like this, but he is rather dependable. And I’m also the captain of the karate club, so I think you can rely on me a lot.」 (Yuki)
Yuki smacked her own chest with her right hand that was pointing at Naoto.
「I’m relatively, and you’re pretty.」 (Naoto)
「You’re not wrong.」(Yuki)
Yuki’s mouth relaxed mischievously as she said this.
「You’re in a club, aren’t you?」 (Yuki)
Yuki asked because, although not as tanned as Naoto, he had a healthy tan and, although he looked thin, his chest was surprisingly thick even under his uniform.
「I’m on the track and field team and I’m a short distance runner.」 (Ryou)
「Track and field, huh? I’m pretty confident in my legs too. How many seconds did you get in the 100m, by the way?」(Naoto)
Naoto asked with great interest. This was because Seiryo High School did not have a track and field team.
「Uh, my official personal best is 10.98 seconds…….」 (Ryou)
「Yes!」 (Yuki)
You could hear Naoto’s and Yuki’s voices.
「Hinata, why don’t you run with us sometime?」 (Erika)
「N, no, thanks.」(Naoto)
Erika just wanted to see the confrontation between the baseball team and the track team, but Naoto repeatedly shook his head and immediately refused.
Erika put her right hand over her mouth and giggled happily.
Surprisingly, Naoto seems to be an irritating character.
「I’m Erika Hozumi. I was the head of the archery club for a while. I’m looking forward to working with you.」 (Erika)
「Ah, yes.」 (Ryou)
Erika stared straight at Ryou with long slit eyes. Her expression was calm, but her gaze had a piercing power.
「You’re always talking to everyone respectfully, aren’t you, Erika?」(Honoka)
Honoka’s round, dark eyes narrowed as she spoke softly.
「I’m Honoka Hazuki, and I play the flute in the brass band. Nice to meet you, Aomi-kun.」 (Honoka)
This girl was the one who turned around at the intersection, and she immediately recognized Ryou’s.
He looked away and nodded, feeling indescribably awkward at the memory.
「Are you shy, Aomi-kun?」 (Honoka)
She must have felt that way when she saw Ryou’s gesture.
「Um, I, I’m sorry.」
In fact, he’s not really used to talking to girls. He could talk to Mia normally, but when it came to other girls, he was too nervous to speak properly.
Because of this, he was called blunt and unsociable by a few girls from his class, but Honoka seemed to see it in a good light.
「Hey, Aomi-kun. At the intersection just now, you said something…… right?」 (Honoka)
At Honoka’s question, everyone’s eyes were drawn to Ryou.
「Um, that’s….」 (Ryou)
He thought he just mumbled really weakly, but Honoka seemed to hear him.
「Is that about Mia Morisaki?」 (Honoka)
Ryou rolled his eyes and looked up. He hadn’t expected to hear the name Mia Morisaki come up from Honoka.
「You know Mia?」 (Ryou)
If you think about it, Mia was also a student at Seiryo High School, just like Naoto, Honoka and the others.
It was no surprise that they knew her.
「We used to be good friends.」 (Honoka)
Honoka slightly tilted her head and smiled.
「Eh? Could it be that the boyfriend that Mia was talking about was Aomi-kun?」(Honoka)
「Mia didn’t tell us your name until the end.」(Erika)
「Well, she once happily showed me the strap you got her for her birthday……」 (Naoto)
「Yes, and…」 (Yuki)
As he listened to the four of them, he closed his eyes and remembered when he had given them the strap and necklace. It was the first and last birthday present he had bought her with his newspaper delivery job. It was a little expensive, but Mia accepted it with a big smile on her face.
He squeezed the necklace in his breast pocket and smiled.
「Aomi-kun? ….Oh, I’m sorry, did I remind you of something painful?」 (Honoka)
The expression on Ryou’s face as he looked down must not have been visible to Honoka sitting across from him.
It wasn’t just Honoka, but the way the other three were talking showed that they were really good friends.
「No, it’s not that….. I’m just happy to know that there is someone other than me who cares about Mia and remembers her…….」 (Ryou)
Even if a person dies, their existence will never disappear as long as someone remembers them.
The words he had heard somewhere passed through his mind.
「Don’t worry, no one will forget her.」 (Naoto)
Naoto, sitting next to him, put a hand on his shoulder.
When he looked up, Naoto nodded with a smile.
「……Thank you very much.」 (Ryou)
「I’m going to cry,」 (Yuki)
Yuki was already crying profusely as she said this.
「Yuki, you’re strong, but you’re a crybaby.」 (Honoka)
「Honoka, let’s just say you’re a little tearful there.」 (Yuki)
「Neither of us is different!」 (Honoka)
Yuki laughs while bursting into tears, and Naoto, Erika, and Honoka laugh along with her.
Seeing this, a smile appeared on Ryou’s face.
「Maybe Morisaki was the one who brought us together this time……」 (Naoto)
Naoto slowly sat up from the sofa.
「Yes, I think so too.」 (Yuki)
Yuki, who wiped her tears, stood up following Naoto.
「I don’t think it’s a coincidence that you and I were summoned together.」 (Erika)
「I’m sure it wasn’t just us that needed it, but also you, Aomi.」 (Honoka)
Erika and Honoka stood up, looked at Ryou and nodded.
Naoto looked over at Yuki and the other three, then with a puzzled look, he held out his right hand to Ryou, who remained seated.
「So let’s all work together, get through this big disaster together, and get back to the world. The five of us will go back together…」 (Naoto)
「……Yes」 (Ryou)
Ryou stood up and took Naoto’s hand.
