《The Tale Of A Slayer》Special chapter 1: The summoning of heroes
Advertisement
[Hey guys, this is the first special chapter for volume 1. I 'll release it as interludes for the volumes. It's mostly about the other heroes though]
-----------------------------
“Huh? Where.. where am I ?” (Shizuka)
I mutter, because suddenly, I was in a completely unknown place. I have no idea where I am, because this place looks totally out of place from the classroom I was in. I was going to ask Yuu-kun whether he was alright, but suddenly, I blacked out. After I woke up, I was in this place.
There was someone here. A woman, seems like. I can’t make out her face, but I can tell that she’s extremely beautiful. Everyone else are here too. Yuu-kun! No… Yuu-kun wasn’t here. The woman began to speak.
“Welcome heroes, I am Miriabelle ,the goddess of beauty and safety. I’m a goddess of this world, Redorias. My heroes, I’ve summoned you here from Earth in order to combat the demons that threaten the existence of humans, who are under my care. You are all the chosen ones, who were handpicked to combat the vile demons. I beseech you, please fight to protect my people. The strength of heroes shall reside in you…Please,do not meddle with this world’s development,lest divine judgment shall be delivered upon you”
Everything turned white after that. Then, I suddenly fell into a dim room. I look down, and I see a circle.
Is this…. The same circle which appeared in the classroom? I look around, trying to find where I am. It’s something like a dungeon, with dark red brick walls surrounding me. The huge circle is at my feet, and I’m alone here. No one is here… Everyone-
“Woah!” (Ayumi)
Suddenly, Ayumi-chan appeared next to me. H-how did she get here?
“Ayumi chan! “ (Shizuka)

I yell out her name and hug her. I feel scared. Really scared. This foreign place, I don’t even know where I am. I feel relieved Ayumi chan is here. She’s reliable. Ayumi chan’s smart. She’ll figure out a way to figure this situation out.
“Eh?! How did I get here?!” (Hideki)
Hideki kun also got here. Does that mean everyone is coming here? I feel relieved. Yuu-kun will get here soon. I’m sure. He’ll help me out. He always has.
But he doesn’t arrive. Everyone, Eiji, Ayumi, Satoshi, Hideki, Nanami, Maeda-san Mayumi got here. But…but Yuu-ku-Yuu-nii…. He’s not here….
“Ha? It seems the mongrel didn’t get here. Pfft.” (Satoshi)
“Isn’t that obvious Satoshi? Only the chosen ones can get here. I’m sure that dork Nakajima wasn’t chosen.” (Mayumi)
Everyone start speaking bad about Yuu-nii. But only Ayumi chan and Maeda san are actually trying to find out where we are. Eiji kun is helping up Nanami san, who looks bewildered.
In front of us, there was a door. A huge oak door. The doors slowly open, and a beautiful woman walks out. Breathtakingly beautiful. Her pink hair was braided into a beautiful Waterfall hairstyle. Her eyelashes were long and curved, hiding her mesmerizing blue irises. Her straight nose and small mouth with pink lips. Her figure was beautiful, with a well proportioned body, and she was wearing a luxurious pink dress, almost like a princess. No. Definitely like a princess.
“Welcome heroes. I am called Misangeline Crangel. I’m the first princess of Klaido, the Imperial Capital of Ars continent. We have summoned you according to the oracle of our goddess, Miriabelle. Please, help us fight against the Demons. “ (Misangeline)
Saying so, she bowed down.
“Please raise your head princess. A beautiful flower such as you should not lower your head to us.” (Satoshi)

Satoshi kun immediately asks the princess to raise her head. I think so too. I’m just a poor orphan. A princess isn’t supposed to bow to me.
“Hero samas, please do not tell me to raise my head. You are the great heroes, who were summoned to get rid of the demons and save us. Raising my head in your head is a disgrace to the Royal Family” (Misangeline)
“Rest assured princess Misangeline, We will do everything in our power to drive out those demons who plague your land. If it’s for the princess, I’ll slay the demon lord himself if I have to.” (Satoshi)
“Tch. What’s with those cliché lines…What a womanizer” (Ayumi)
Eh? Why did she call Satoshi kun a womanizer? Isn’t he a really nice guy? Ah.. I don’t understand Ayumi chan at all…
“Princess, if I may, what do you mean when you ask us to get rid of the demons? Are there demons here?” (Eiji)
“Ah! Yes. Please follow me. I’ll lead you to father. He’ll tell you everything.” (Misangeline)
We followed after the princess, who led the way. After exiting the dungeon like room we were in, a dozen guards emerged and surrounded us. They were wearing shiny silver armour, and they escorted us. We climbed a spiral staircase, and after getting on to a floor, the guards opened a door and we went into the castle.
Luxurious. Too luxurious. A passage made of marble. We kept crossing various statues and sets of armour, and an occasional painting. As expected of a Royal Palace.
We arrived before magnificient oak doors, and the guards standing beside them, who were wearing bulky silver armor and carried a halberd, pushed the door open. And the sight that greeted us—
I, Shizuka was summoned to another world as a hero.

Mary Susan Oceanrunner and the Brutus Saint's Academy
Join Mary Susan Oceanrunner on her quest to do... erm... something really important for the world... probably... Ahem. Long gone are the days when every hero could do whatever they wanted - now, we are civilised. We have government. Law. And proper forms. Lots of proper forms. (Final episode 25/07/2022. Also - beta readers far into the book rate the 'gore' degree as below 2/10, so the warning is a bit much) Mary Susan Oceanrunner is a poor girl from the orphanage, who like many others before, has to fulfil her destiny. The prophecy had been told, and she is the only one who can make things right. Erm... probably. Anyway, she can't just go and kill monsters like in the middle ages. First, she must apply for the appropriate permissions, fill the forms, learn about the proper loot taxations... Hey, no one said adventuring would be easy, right? Disclaimers: No claim made by any character by the book should be treated as the author's or anyone else's opinion on any subject. Most likely, it was just the funniest thing the Author could think of at the time of writing. This book contains many references to other works. It will probably be best enjoyed by individuals familiar with at least some of the following: 1) Computer games2) Fantasy in general3) Science fiction4) Tabletop RPGs5) Conspiracy theories6) Corporation work life7) Long forgotten prophecies uttered millennia ago in almost as forgotten languages under a starless night three dusks before the great convergence8) Filling any government-mandated form9) School10) EnglishMy ultimate goal is to make as many people experience something akin to joy while reading (think ~a bit louder exhale through the nose). It doesn't mean every scene will be funny or joyful because that's not how this stuff works. I can neither confirm nor deny having any other hidden agenda outside of that.
