 In the large throne room of the castle, Japanese high school students were bustling around.

 There were about 300 of them.

 They had summoned an entire grade from the game.

 Among them, there should be one person who got the ‘Hero’ job, but, well, whatever… No, if the cute girl gacha and that unique ability can be used just like in the game, it could get crazy…

 Huh…?

 For some reason, it feels like everyone is really focused on me… Is it because I’m so handsome that people can’t help but look?

 ”Why is that guy in a sweatsuit, looking like a total shut-in?”

 ”His hair is all messy, and his bangs are completely hiding his eyes and nose.”

 ”H-he is stinks…”

 When I listened closely, I realized the reactions were the complete opposite… sniff.

 No, no, a sweatsuit?

 I just realized I hadn’t checked my outfit since I woke up.

 In my previous life, when I was Tsukimori Yuuto, I often wore this gray sweatsuit from Uni*lo as loungewear…

 (So embarrassing!! Wait, did I really come here in my loungewear!? And my messy hair is understandable! I’ve been sleeping for a long time, so of course it’s grown!)

 [Hehe…]

 Feeling overwhelmed, I hid myself in a corner of the room.

 *Clap! Clap!*

 The queen sitting on the throne clapped her hands, signaling for silence.

 The students fell completely silent.

 I’m glad there were no idiots who ignored this and kept talking.

 ”Welcome, heroes of another world. I am Queen Veronica Altia Farnor of this country, Altia. First of all, I sincerely apologize for summoning you to this world. …However, we have an urgent matter at hand. What I ask of you is to lend your strength in the fierce battle against the demons that threatens our country. I am confident that your power greatly exceeds that of us, the people of Altia. I hope you will train your incredible abilities in the training grounds of my castle and the nearby dungeons, and fully unleash them in the fight against the demon race. …Please look at the crystal in front of me. This crystal will unlock your hidden powers. One by one, I ask you to release your powers, and I hope you will help this country.”

 As the queen closed her mouth, a girl shouted at her.

 ”Hey! Isn’t it terrible to just call us here and tell us to fight!? I don’t want to fight! Please send me back to my original world right now!!”

 (Yeah, that’s a totally normal reaction… Most of the guys seem really happy about getting some kind of special ability though.)

 ”I apologize. All we have is the method of summoning… The way to return is said to be written in the spellbook held by the Demon King who controls time, according to the divine message from Goddess Vanessa… For those who refuse to fight, we will ensure your living conditions as long as you remain in this castle.”

 When the queen closed her mouth, the second princess, Lady Elena, who was sitting next to her, stood up and spoke.

 ”Everyone! I know I’m asking for a lot! Still, for the future of our people, we absolutely cannot lose to the demon race! Not just you, but I, Princess Elena Altia Farnor, and the soldiers and adventurers of this country will fight together! Please, help the people of this country!”

 (She’s still as beautiful as ever, with a voice that carries well. It’s hard for the guys to say no when a beauty like her asks for help so sincerely.)

 [Hmm…]

 With that, a few female students shouted, and finally, it was time for the ceremony to gain status, the hero version of the ‘Ceremony of Revelation.’

* * *

 The ceremony proceeded one by one, and in this hero version of the ‘Ceremony of Revelation,’ the status was projected high in the air, openly showing what jobs and unique abilities each person had.

 I didn’t notice it when I was playing ‘Princess Rave,’ but now I know this isn’t normal.

 The original ‘Ceremony of Revelation’ is supposed to be something only the person can see…

 ”Oh, this is it! I’m the ‘Hero’!!”

 Finally, someone got the ‘Hero’ job… and worst of all, just like in the game, he has the unique abilities of ‘Beautiful Girl Gacha’ and ‘Affection Manipulation.’

 (This is bad… I should ask Nessa for some countermeasures…)

 [Rob, what’s so bad?]

 (Hmm? The girl he got from the ‘Beautiful Girl Gacha’ was forced to join the hero’s party list, and then, because of his special ability ‘Affection Control,’ she became like a sl*ve to the hero. Also, the girls on the party list can be called anytime, so they can’t escape. …If any of Nana, Rumi, or Alice ended up joining him, just thinking about it gives me chills…)

 [I-I see… Why did Nessa create such an ability?]

 (…Could it be Rumi…?)

 [Yeah! It’s Rumi! Long time no see, Rob~♪]

 …It looks like I have to ask that useless goddess about something before I worry about the hero.

 I opened my status window.

 ******

 (Seriously, now I have even more questions! What is Rob Revalus!!)

 My status has changed dramatically, as I said it would be the strongest, but since my current level cap isn’t 99, I guess that means I can’t level up any further in the divine realm.

 I accessed the newly added ‘Goddess Chat’ at the bottom of the status window.

 (Rob here. Nessa, can you respond?)

 (Yes, it’s Goddess Vanessa! …Are you talking about Rumi?)

 (Yeah, that’s right! Why did Rumi become the ‘Sword Saint’s Soul’? Depending on the situation, I might stop my journey to defeat the Demon King!)

 (…Um, well. It all started when I asked all the max-level players to apply for Rob’s ‘Sword Saint’s Soul.’ Many people inquired about it, but Rumi was the only one who actually applied. So, it’s not like I begged Rumi or forced her to become the ‘Sword Saint’s Soul’! Also, Rumi’s body is stored in the divine realm, so she can be turned back into a human anytime! If you want to know why she decided to become the ‘Sword Saint’s Soul,’ you should ask Rumi directly!)

 (Haah… I see, so it wasn’t forced. …Sorry for doubting.)

 If Rumi had been forced to become the ‘Sword Saint’s Soul,’ I wouldn’t have done anything to defeat the Demon King until Rumi was turned back into a human.

 (Phew, is there anything else?)

 (What’s with my name? Why is it Rob Revalus?)

 (Hmph. To give Rob the ‘holy attribute affinity,’ I slightly shaved off my divine core and mixed it into Rob’s soul, and I also blended my flesh and blood into Rob’s body… So, you see, Rob is like my child! …You can even call me Mama, you know?)

 (…Ugh, I wish I hadn’t heard that.)
