A/n-

To clarify, the MC will not act like Kiritsugu at first until the events that you know will happen happen. Think of him a little more like Shirou, always wanting to help and cheerful. Also, give hugs to Komi. She really desires them :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Y/n: "*sighs* Why is it so tiring to find a job? All I really want to do is play games.. shooters, MMOs, they are all perfect"

I was walking into the library near my house. This was the 3rd interview this week.

Y/n: "I know I bombed it too. This is stupid. Why is getting a job so damn hard?!"

Librarian: "Sh!!"

Y/n: "Sorry"

Librarian: "You come in screaming yet again Mr. L/n. Another failed interview I suppose?"

Y/n: "You know me so well ma'am"

Librarian: "In any case, your chair is already reserved as always. Remember, try to finish everything you need to do in that little game of yours early. I don't wish to stay another hour like last time even if you pay me"

Y/n: "Yes ma'am"

I speed walk my way over to my usual desk where I can speak in my normal voice without having anyone hearing me.

??: "Ow"

As I was making my way to my spot, the sound of some books falling on someone made me stop on my tracks.

Y/n: "Maybe a girl dropped some books and I could help her? Perfect cliche moment baby!!"

I walk to the ille and turn to see it's just some dude.

Y/n: "Aw, it's just a dude"

I was going to leave but the good guy in me decided to go and help him out. I put my bag down and started picking up some of the books and putting them back on the shelf.

Y/n: "You okay? Sounded like it really hurt"

??: "Yea. I'm fine"

He looked at a certain red colored book and picked it up.

??: "The Records of the Four Cardinal Weapons?"

Y/n: "Sounds interesting"

Naofumi: "I'm Naofumi by the way"

He said not looking at me as he opened the book.

Y/n: "I'm Y/n"

I rest my elbow on his shoulder as I peek in. He seems a little annoyed but doesn't push me away or anything.

Both: "The Waves of Apocalyptic Catastrophe.. To save the world from the waves, four heroes will be summoned from another world"

Naofumi: "How very light novel like"

Y/n: "So basically your average Isekai minus the Demon lord plot but with a apocalypse wave of Nazi zombies plot inserted. Nice"

Naofumi flips the page with a description of all the heroes.

Y/n: "A Bowman, a Spearman, a Swordman, and a Shield hero. I'd hate to be the Shield hero"

Naofumi: "Isn't a shield more of an armor?"

Y/n: "I'd still consider it a weapon due to the things you can do with one, Captain America for example, but I can see were you are coming from"

Naofumi: "I wonder where the heroine is?"

Y/n: "Is she not mentioned?"

Naofumi: "No.. she seems to slutty to be it"

Y/n: "The princess?"

Naofumi: "Yea"

Y/n: "All the heroes seem pretty cool don't you think?"

Naofumi: "Yep. I'm guessing they are the protagonists of the light novel. The Spear, Sword, and Bow heroes get all the spotlight, though the Shield does get some aswell"

Y/n: "Well they are still heroes"

He flips the page to see it empty.

Y/n: "Huh?"

Naofumi: "What the heck?"

Y/n: "Keep flipping. I'm sure their's an ending"

Naofumi keeps going through it while the book begins to light up.

Y/n: "Naofumi, I think now should be a good chance to st-"

We are engulfed in a bright yellow light and begin to fall down an endless pitfall.

Y/n: "AAAAAAHHH!!!"

Naofumi: "AAAAAHH!!"

Y/n: "I blame you Naofumi!!!"

Naofumi: "How?! I didn't know this would happen!!"

Y/n: "I don't know, I just blame you anyways!!"

We finally land and find ourselves surrounded.

Y/n: "That wasn't terrifying at all"

I say light headed and about to throw up.

??: "Their's five?! But the ritual only mentioned four heroes"

??: "Let us just count it as a blessing from God"

Y/n: "Heroes?"

??: "Oh brave heroes, please save our world!!"

??: "We beg of you. Our world is in the blink of it's destruction and have summoned you all here to help us!!"

??: "All four Cardinal Weapons.. and an extra hero"

Y/n: "The fuck?"

I look to see Naofumi wielding a shield, the man to his left has a spear while the other two have a sword and bow respectively.

Y/n: "I get it!! We are in that book Naofumi and were reading!! It had a similar plot to what these gentlemen are speaking of. But how?"

As I was thinking of all this, the other three began to make demands and even threats to the folks whom brought us over to this world.

Y/n: "Psst, Naofumi"

I whispered to him as he turned and looked at me.

Y/n: "You do realize where we are right?!"

Naofumi: "We got summoned into the book. I'm guessing the empty pages are meant to be for us to write"

Y/n: "But how? You got a shield and I have nothing?!"

Naofumi looks at his shield before looking at me.

Naofumi: "There was only meant to be four heroes yet here we all are. Five of us"

Y/n: "I guess I get nothing huh?"

Naofumi: "Don't worry, this is my fault so I'll do my best to keep you safe. Who knows, maybe you have some sort of secret power that trumphs ours?"

Y/n: "Yea, I doubt it. I might just end up getting sold to some pervert and have perverted things done to me by some old fat lady or whatever"

Naofumi: "*chuckles* You have a rather interesting mind"

Y/n: "Don't laugh at my misery!!"

We rise up and follow the men who seem to want to take us to their king.

Y/n: "I wonder what the kings like?"

Naofumi: "I hope he's a noble man"

Y/n: "Wow it's beautiful outside!!"

Naofumi: "You bet it is"

Sword: "I'm guessing neither of you have traveled outside of Japan?"

Y/n: "Nope"

Naofumi: "Yea. Sorry"

They all continue to walk as a white young maiden looks at the unequipped young man following them.

Young Lady: "He wasn't supposed to be sent here"

She looks worried as two other grown people, perhaps her parents talk amongst one another.

Older man: "Worry not about him child. You are only to help the Four Cardinal Weapons in their journey to saving our world"

The older man said with a serious tone.

Older lady: "Daughter of mine, Irisviel, you are the eldest and have to focus on your job. To take over for us as the care taker of this world. You've inherited our powers to make any wish a reality. You must continue your training you hear?"

Young lady: "..Yes mother"

They both took off as she looked at the young man from another reality. She decided on something and jumped down from the land of gods, following right behind him. She was able to not be detected by living outside his world.

Young lady: "Don't worry, I'll take care of you"

She said with a kind smile.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After embarrassing ourselves, we finally arrive at the king's throne.

King: "So these are the Four Cardinal Heroes? Hm, it appears that there is a fifth hero amongst them?"

I feel awkward standing amongst them with everyone's gaze on me.

King: "Tell me hero, what weapon do you happen to possess?"

Y/n: "I-I have no idea your highness, sir, king"

King: "What?!"

Y/n: "Sorry!! It's probably just a glitch, I'm sure I'll get my weapon soon"

I say with my hands up and a bead of sweat traveling down from my forehead.

King: "Worry not, I'm sure you'll find out eventually"

He had a cold glare on Naofumi for whatever reason. I'm sure he noticed it too.

King: "Forgive my rudeness. I am king of Melromarc, Aultcray Melromarc XXXII. Heroes, please name yourselves"

Sword guy goes first.

Ren: "Amakari Ren, 16 years old, high schooler"

Y/n: "Sounds like he's setting up a tinder account"

I chuckle to myself.

Motoyasu: "I'm Kitamura Motoyasu. 21 and I'm a college student"

Bow: "I suppose I'm next?"

Y/n: "No shit"

He heard me and I immediately turn to look away.

Y/n: "I wonder who said that?"

Itsuki: "Kawasumi Itsuki, 17 years old and I'm a high schooler"

Naofumi: "Lastly, I'm-"

King: "I see"

Y/n: "Well that was a dick move, we didn't even get to introduce ourselves"

I say to myself as we make our way to line up with the rest.

King: "Ren, Motoyasu, and Itsuki, huh?"

Naofumi: "Hey, King, aren't you forgetting about us?"

King: "Oh, forgive me"

Itsuki stepped in and spoke about some formality bullshit which I ignored.

Y/n: "We are clearly being disrespected"

King: "King is fine"

Naofumi: "Whatever works. My name is Iwatani Naofumi, I'm 20 and a college student"

Y/n: "I'm Y/n L/n, 23 and a college student as well"

The king ignores both of us and goes straight to the point on what the goal is. I can't help but shake off this feeling that he hates us or something.

King: "You should all check your status"

Y/n: "This is definitely like a game I've played before"

I look at the bottom corner to see an icon. I look at it and it shows me my stats.

Guard: "Status magic, a magic exclusive to the heroes"

Y/n: "Guess I really am a hero. What's this?"

I could see an icon in my top corner.

Y/n: "A gun and a knife?"

Naofumi: "Did you say something?"

Y/n: "N-Nothing"

Naofumi: "Can you see your weapon?"

Y/n: "Nope. It looks like it's not showing up yet"

Naofumi: "Don't worry, I'll help you find it"

Y/n: "Thanks Naofumi"

He pats me in the back. I didn't want to reveal my weapon just yet.

King: "They seem to be rather close"

Guard: "I see, I'll be keeping an eye on him your majesty"

King: "Do keep an eye on him"

The King whispered to one of his guards.

Irisviel: "Be on your guard"

I felt as if someone was trying to warn me about something. Apart from that, I had a bad feeling about this King. I wanted to voice my concerns to Naofumi but I didn't have enough evidence of anything concrete. I kept my suspicions to myself. I looked at my hand and started thinking to myself.

Y/n: "Could I potentially craft my weapon with my mind?"

I thought to myself.

Guard: "You all will create a party and venture out alone. Your weapons nullify one another if together"

Y/n: "Well that sucks"

King: "The sun is setting. Rest now and venture out tomorrow"

A woman brought us over to our room.

Y/n: "We are sharing?"

Motoyasu: "Should you really complain? You don't even have a weapon"

Y/n: "Guess you have a point. I'm just gonna lay down on one of the beds"

I lay down and start thinking about things.

Y/n: "Man, today's been rather annoying. First, I don't get a job, I get sent to another world without any knowledge or weapons"

I think about that odd feeling I felt before.

Y/n: "I felt like someone gave me a warning. Well, none of that matters now. I get my chance to become a hero to this world!! I get to help everyone!!"

Just thinking of the idea of actually becoming a hero like in those books I would read made me extremely happy. I wanted to become a Beacon of Hope, a Symbol of Peace, a true Hero of Justice. Seeing everyone smile is my true dream. A world were nobody would ever be sad or hurt. I guess I couldn't contain my excitement that I had ignored everyone else.

Itsuki: "So we are from different versions of Japan?"

Y/n: "Huh?"

Naofumi: "Well, me and Y/n come from the same one. We were both sent here together"

Motoyasu: "So that's why he appeared. Maybe he isn't a hero, just brought here on accident because of you Naofumi"

Y/n: "Nonsense!! I have a Status too and only heroes have that"

Ren: "But you say you can't see a weapon right? We all can see it yet you can't"

I didn't want to say anything so I stayed quiet.

Y/n: "I'm sure I have a weapon. This isn't a accident"

I get a little down as everyone takes jabs at Naofumi next for being a Shield Hero. He walks outside and stands near the balcony as I sigh.

Naofumi: "Let's give it our all!!"

Hearing him be excited despite being someone who isn't as popular as the rest gave me a little boost to have some fate in myself.

Y/n: "Gotcha"

I feel asleep and waited for tomorrow to come.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We finally arrive at the throne after some good sleep.

King: "We have chosen these brave men to follow you heroes in your journey"

We stand in line with them in front of us. I still couldn't shake off that damn feeling but went with it anyways.

King: "Now, choose!!"

The warriors came towards us. After they all chose. I looked and saw both Naofumi and I remained alone.

Y/n: "Great. They chose the damn pretty boys"

It would make sense why they didn't chose me since I have no weapon but Naofumi? He had the shield. Naofumi, rightfully tried protesting that he and I weren't getting treated fairly.

Y/n: "It's not our fault we weren't blessed with knowledge of this world like the rest"

King: "Very well, any volunteers to help them?"

A red haired girl raised her hand and decided to leave Motoyasu for Naofumi.

Y/n: 'Lucky bas-"

Irisviel: "It's a trap!!"

I stop myself as I sense danger coming from her. After no one else volunteered, the king looked at me and Naofumi.

King: "It is up to you to recruit the rest of your party. Being that you two are both heroes, you will not be able to join each others party"

Y/n: "Shit. First I have no knowledge about this world and now I have to build my own party?! This is getting ridiculous!! But I must stay focused. I have a world to save"

Y/n: "Then build my own party I shall. What you say Naofumi?"

Naofumi: "Right behind you. We'll build the greatest team and see who's better afterwards"

Y/n: "You got yourself a challenge"

Guard: "You will get provisions each month. Due to Y/n and Naofumi having less party members, they will get higher provisions for now. Y/n will get 1,000 silvers, Naofumi will get 800, and the rest get 600"

We each get a large bag full of this world's currency.

King: "Use them to gather equipment and continue to improve yourselves on your journey"

All: "Yes sir!!"

We take off and prepare to leave our separate ways. I look at my bag of money and see that the others bid farewell. I walk past Naofumi and say my goodbyes as well.

Y/n: "Guess I'll see you next time?"

Naofumi: "Of course. Good luck with your recruitment and weapon"

Y/n: "Likewise"

I look at the cheerful girl and give her a smile. I tap Naofumi on the shoulder and bring him a little closer.

Y/n: "Something seems wrong. Be careful"

I let him go and take off.

Naofumi: "Oh.. yea.. I will"

I leave the castle and begin walking around to get myself familiar with this place a little better. I spend time just checking stuff out when I see a little hut up ahead.

Y/n: "A blacksmith? I guess I should check it out"

I walk in and see a man wearing a white coat over him working on a sword.

Y/n: "Excuse me?"

??: "What do you want?"

That was rather rude.

Y/n: "I was looking for someone to help me build something. I saw your hut and thought-"

??: "That I would be able to make it for ya?"

Y/n: "Y-Yes, was I wrong?"

??: "Well, you aren't wrong. I can make any weapon but it's gonna cost ya"

Y/n: "I have enough to spend"

??: "I wasn't talking about money kid. Light up the fire and I'll teach ya a thing or two"

Y/n: "Me?! Oh, no. I can't make anything-"

??: "I wasn't asking. Now, you want the thing made or not? You're wasting my time"

Y/n: "*sigh* Fine"

??: "*chuckles* Good. What's yer name kid?"

Y/n: "Y/n L/n"

??: "The dud hero?"

Y/n: "I see rumors spread fast here. What's your name?"

??: "Me? I'm just a simple blacksmith but since it's a hero, might as well give you my name"

Muramasa: "Senji Murumasa"
