Chapter 01: Dragged into another World
Okamura Hiiro calmly analyzed the scene in front of his eyes. There stood people he had never seen before.
Furthermore, the several men were dressed like priests as one would hardly come across in Japan and amongst them was one girl, wearing a pink dress, too.
He checked out the surroundings by looking around. The building was an atrium, so he could see outside well even while sitting.
But since he could see a mountain range in the distance and not just the ground, he concluded that he was up fairly high.
The building was a tower or alike. The ceiling was supported by various pillars and had unfamiliar and strange drawings on it. It were mysterious drawings like the Egyptian mural art.
What he recognized were the four people near him, wearing the same high school uniform.
They were his classmates, but he had never talked to them. So, why was he here together with them?
A magic circle like from a game was drawn on the ground to his feet.
Obviously foreign people, an unfamiliar scenery and a magic circle.
He could more or less guess what had happened from the current situation. And the girl in dress confirmed it with her words.
“I, I welcome you, Heroes!”
Yeah, this was a so called different world.
Up until now he had been at school. Skipping classes by sleeping the whole time on the rooftop, he had went back to the classroom to fetch his bag after school. There he found these four people here.
Like always, he had headed for his desk without so much as looking at them. They had frowned a bit upon see him, but he had ignored them as he didn’t care.
But then a bright light had suddenly gushed out from under his feet. All five present, Hiiro included, had frozen up on the spot from the all too sudden surprise.
Everything had turned snow-white in front of him and in the next moment, he found himself in the current situation.
The priests cheered merrily. Frolicking with “Yes!” and “It’s a success!”, they ignored the five of them, who were confused from the sudden happening.
However, they all looked rather exhausted and they were sweating as if they had just run a marathon.
On the other hand, the girl had long orange hair till her waist, which made her unthinkable as a Japanese. She was overall pretty, had big eyes and adorable facial features.
She was without a doubt an eye-catching beauty.
Same as the men, the girl showed a broad smile. Most likely the five of them were summoned unquestioning.
He should never have imagined it possible that he would experience something like that. Although Hiiro had been rather composed so far, a part of him still refused to believe it even now.
The others seemed to feel the same from being summoned as their faces showed that they couldn’t keep up with what was happening to them. Then one of them finally spoke.
“H- Heroes? What do you mean?”
The guy named Aoyama Taishi had bleached hair, but an earnest expression and gentle aura.
To add, he was tall and handsome, so he was overwhelming popular with the girls in class.
The girl lowered her head flustered on Taishi’s question.
“Ah, my apologies! His Majesty personally will explain this matter to you! So please follow me!”
She looked apologetic as she said that. On a closer look, she appeared rather pale. It was hard to tell from her smile earlier, but like the men, she was sweating on the face as well, probably exhausted from the summoning.
Taishi seemed to notice her condition as well and likely thought it would be better to listen to her for now instead of staying here longer, since it would probably allow the girl to get some rest then.
Taishi exchanged looks with the everyone except Hiiro and nodded affirming.
