As I awoke, there was a strange scenery around me. By the way, I was lying on the floor

[Where is this?] (Jun)

[U-uhh…] (Yukari)

I turned to my side and saw Yukari waking up. There was a bit of drool on her mouth. She looked cute.

[Where are we?] (Miki)

Miki was awake now, and as straight to the point as ever.

[If I knew that wouldn’t I be heading home now?] (Jun)

[Is this a mansion or something?] (Yukari)

[Something like that] (???)

Suddenly there were footsteps and a deep calm voice. We looked towards the direction of the noise of the footsteps and saw a man, a woman and a boy.

The man looked old, but had an energetic feel to him. The woman was beautiful and had brown hair. She had a reserved feel to her and I couldn’t really tell her age range. The boy, however looked young….and handsome. He looked about the same age as us and had blond hair with streaks of red. He had a slender build, but not one so that he looked weak. He also had a sword attached to his side. In summary, he looked cool.

[Greetings. My name is Arich Lu Ferke. I am the king of this country, Lalett. This is the head of our country’s council, Anbeth Seyl] (King Arich)

The woman didn’t talk and slightly bowed.

[I am Kith Lu Ferke, the second prince of Lalett. Pleased to meet you]

He smiled then he bowed. I wanted to smile back, but considering our situation, this was no time to do so.

[My name is Akita Jun. This is Chino Yukari and this is--] (Jun)

[I am Shioya Miki] (Miki)

Ah, I was cut off.

[You all have been summoned to this world, Arudena, to be heroes] (King Arich)

….

Like in manga…

[Our world is in danger from the demon race] (Anbeth)

It really is like manga…

[And we need you to fight them] (King Arich)

….

[Pardon me, but don’t you think you are being selfish] (Jun)

[How dare you!] (Guard)

Ah, I just realized there were guards here too.

[Let him speak] (King Arich)

[Forgive me, but don’t you think it is selfish to suddenly summon people to a totally different world from their own and ask them to become heroes to save YOUR country?] (Jun)

[W-well] (Anbeth)

[And let me guess, you don’t know of a way to return us home do you?] (Miki)

[W-we do know of one! It is just… impossible to return you…] (Anbeth)

[Ehhh! Jun is right! You guys can’t just ask us to fight for you!] Yukari

[Please, we need help. We don’t have enough people with strong skills.] (Kith)

[Ehhh! Skills? We don’t have any!] (Yukari)

[Oh! That’s right you all should have gotten skills and titles! To see them you just have to think about opening your stats] (King Arich)

[Oooh! It actually works!] (Yukari)

Why is he changing the subject like this? But more importantly, why is Yukari doing what this guy says?!

[Yukari, you’re getting distracted by him.] (Miki)

[A-ah yeah. I’m sorry] (Yukari)

[Its fine. Also, where is Yuki?] (Miki)

Oh shit. I can’t believe I forgot about my best friend. What the hell is wrong with me?! Ah, but to be fair, in this situation it is easy to forget...

[Ah, that’s right! Yuki-chan isn’t here!] (Yukari)

[Excuse me Mr. King, our friend isn’t here. He was there right before we got here] (Yukari)

[Ah, I see. So that’s why…] (King Arich)

[That’s why what?] (Jun)

[There was supposed to be four people summoned. I was wondering why there was only three of you] (King Arich)

[So what happened to Yuki?] (Miki)

[....] (King Arich)

[We do not know] (Anbeth)

[....] (Miki)

[WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN?! HOW CAN YOU NOT KNOW WHERE MY BROTHER IS?!] (Miki)

[H-he’s your brother?] (Anbeth)

[Yes] (Miki)

That once reserved woman was nowhere to be seen. Anbeth has been broken...by Miki. Miki is really something. She is usually so calm, but when it comes to Yuki she can be a monster.

[Your majesty, can I please talk with my friends. I want to decide what to do] (Jun)

[Go ahead. We’ll stay over here. You can go to the other side of the room] (King Arich)

Not letting us out of you sight huh.

[Thank you very much] (Jun)

We walked towards a statue of a dragon. It was quite small despite it being a statue of a dragon.

[I think we should take them up on their offer. Or just at least until we find Yuki] (Jun)

[I agree. I don’t really like the king, but if we leave we will become homeless. We don’t even know what this world is like, nevermind how to survive in it] (Miki)

[My thoughts exactly] (Jun)

Miki was as smart as ever.

[Eto, so we fight for them until we find Yuki, am I right?] (Yukari)

[Yeah] (Miki)

We walked back towards the king.

[What is your decision?] (King Arich)

[We will fight for you] (Jun and Miki)

[~Yes!] (Yukari)
