Volume 1 Chapter 7
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
Kashirou is taking a shower.
Her uniform is lying on the floor, and it looks a bit too real. I can see a bit of her underwear, which is kind of distracting.
There was a suggestion to wash the new uniform first, so it’s in the washing machine. I thought it might be better than reusing what I’m wearing, but… I guess it doesn’t really matter.
The Point Shop had something called ‘student uniform (Kashirou Sentou),’ and I think it was either copied with Magic or summoned from another world. But Kashirou said, “This isn’t my uniform.”
I wondered how it was made, but I know I won’t find the answer by thinking too hard. It seems even Kashirou’s ‘Analysis Magic’ couldn’t figure it out, so I’ll ask the Goddess next time I see her.
A lot of things that come from the Base system are mysterious, which makes me curious.
”I bought a hairdryer, but there’s no outlet.”
There’s nothing that looks like one in the room.
”Doesn’t it run on magic instead of electricity? This is Another World, after all.”
Yodomizu’s casual comment shocked me.
”You’re pretty smart. Are you a genius?”
”Hehe. I’m actually pretty good at studying. I just often forget to write my name.”
We were alone earlier, and it felt awkward, but her expression brightened a bit.
”You’re in the track club, so you must have good stamina, Ms. Yodomizu.”
”H-How do you know that?!”
”Don’t be so cautious over something like this. I just happened to see you. You were running fast, so I remembered.”
There was a gap between her looks and her abilities, so I remember that part clearly. She might actually be pretty impressive.
”Well… compared to Mr. Hyakudou, I’m nothing…”
”Ha. You’re comparing yourself to the wrong person. Most people look small next to me.”
”Mr. Hyakudou is surprisingly…”
”What?”
”…confident.”
”Yeah. I don’t believe in pointless modesty.”
If I put myself down too much, I’d be disrespecting my big sister who trained me. Since I was trained by her, I can’t be inferior. I’m proud of getting through her tough training, like in the military.
”I wish I could be as confident as you.”
”I don’t have confidence in anything except moving my body. I’m not smart, and my only hobby is gaming.”
”By the way, you weren’t in any clubs, right? You have great athletic skills.”
Yodomizu stepped on my landmine.
There’s a sad past behind that. It’s a good chance to get closer, so I’ll share a bit about myself.
”When I was younger, my parents had high hopes for me. They said, ‘You can be a great athlete. Just show us some results.’ But I was rebellious back then. I didn’t want to do what they wanted, so I purposely did nothing. I kept being stubborn, and now I’m just a loser who hasn’t achieved anything.”
A rebellious kid grew up and became a total gaming addict.
As a child, I was toughened up by my big sister’s strict training, and I hated my parents for not stopping her.
I knew that was her way of showing love, and I don’t blame her. But my parents never cared, no matter how hard I tried. They just rushed me to get results, so I can’t have any good feelings toward them.
Thinking about it makes me mad.
I’ll listen to Kashirou’s shower to calm down.
”Even someone like Mr. Hyakudou isn’t doing well in life. I know this might be rude, but I feel a bit closer to you now. Hehe.”
”That’s really rude. Just so you know, I only didn’t do anything on purpose, okay? If I had tried hard, I would be…”
”Hehe.”
”Why are you laughing?”
”S-Sorry. I just thought you were a fun person. I almost forgot we’re in Another World.”
”…Well, if it helped you relax, that’s good.”
I feel like it’s a bit easier to talk to Yodomizu now. She doesn’t seem scared anymore.
As we chat peacefully, it feels so unreal that I can’t really grasp the situation.
Yodomizu looks like a pure human who wouldn’t be good at fighting Demonkind. Just like me, she probably isn’t interested in being a Hero. Life on this Island must be nothing but painful for her.
’You can hate us Godborn if you want.’
I remember what my big sister said.
I don’t really care about getting involved myself. But dragging in classmates like Yodomizu, who aren’t cut out for fighting, is honestly upsetting.
But even if I hate the Godborn, it won’t change anything.
I have one idea to change the situation. If we wipe out every Demonkind on this Island, this ridiculous Trial should end.
If my classmates get hurt, Yodomizu will be sad, and I really don’t want to see that face. I hope I can defeat the Demonkind before that happens.
Since I haven’t done much in my life so far, I’ll try my best here.
Forget about points; I’ll just take down every Demonkind I see. That way, my classmates’ chances of survival will go up, and I might save some lives.
At that moment, I decided on my plan.
