- Am I a goblin? HELL NO! -

"Shit, the fuck are you calling for old man? Personally, I like to call the pizza delivery since making people dance under my thumb and getting troubled because of my personal wishes is pleasuring, but it's a different matter altogether if i'm the one GETTING a call."

She yelled with a shameless red face. The king blushed bright red after being called an old man.

But he regained his composure shortly afterwards.

The other heroes looked troubled and didn't know what to say.

Even the hoodlum that looked like he wanted to say something to the king that summoned them is impressed, and he whistled.

"Hmm? So why can we talk to each other? This is another world, right? Why can everyone speak japanese?" the girl asked.

It seemed like she understood the situation.

Hearing that, one of the advisor replied, "It... It's because “language comprehension” is one of the default skills of heroes. So there wouldn’t be any trouble communicating in your language..."

"Ahh i see, so that's why you guys heard what Aimi said... Wait, HOW DARE YOU GUYS HEARING AIMI-CHAN LOVELY VOICE WITHOUT MY PERMISSION? DO YOU WANNA DIE AAHH!?"

‘You're the one making us hear it!’ Everyone silently retorted.

"W-We didn't hear it! The language comprehension only works for heroes, not for tool from another world," the guy answered panickedly.

The delinquent is the only one laughing while holding his stomach.

"Sigh, whatever, personally I wanna kill everyone here to erase your memories of my lovely aimi-chan’s voice, but it’s not time for that, I guess."

‘So you want to kill us all for such a trivial matter!’

"Ehem, so I better explain the situation then,” the king returned to his composure and started the conversation.

After that...

"That's why, brave heroes from another world, would you save this world from the demon king?"

After a RPG-like explanation from the king, omitting some parts of course, the heroes answered,

"Of course, if there's people in trouble, I will do it."

"If Shuu-ya is joining, then I suppose me too."

The Ikeman and the cheerful girl answered.

The delinquent didn't answer for a while, while the black haired girl seemed to ponder.

"Oi, Shuu, are you really sure? This isn't our world you know? If something happened to you, what am i supposed to say to auntie?" The delinquent asked. He was surprisingly a good guy.

"It's fine, Yuya, I know mother would be happy if I help people in need."

"This isn't the time to say that, you know? You might... No, definitely die!" the hoodlum named Yuya retorted.

"Yuya, exactly because it's dangerous, I must do it. You should understand this better than anyone else, right? That time, with my sister, I..."

Shuu expression darkened. Yuya couldn’t said anything anymore and became quiet while mumbling "whatever". The short-haired girl patted yuya on the back, as if she was consoling him.

‘It seems like those three are friends?’ The black haired girl thought.

She mumbled into her mind, "Sigh, this seems troublesome. A party full of staple-heroes with friendship, love, and a bad end" The black haired girl thought while furrowing her brows.

"Ooh, thank you, brave hero!"

“I still need to explain some things, but let’s call it a day for now and continue tomorrow.

We already prepared a feast tonight, so go ahead and enjoy it.

Since it was a long day, the heroes don’t seems to have any further question.

‘Hey, wait! I still wanna ask...Tsk, whatever. guess tomorrow is fine’ the black haired girl thought.

- At the banquet -

"Come to think of it, we haven't introduced ourselves yet, right? Well, I guess most of us already know each other. but it wouldn’t hurt to do it anyway, correct? I am shuu. Narukami Shuu, second year Isogami High."

The delinquent and the short haired girl didn’t seem to be surprised, and the black haired girl was busy munching on the food and ignored them.

"Narukami Yuya, first year from Isogami High as well."

The delinquent seemed hesitant about something.

‘Since they had the same family name, were they siblings? Though the hoodlum didn’t seem to get used to his name. Perhaps he's an adopted child?

I’m a bit surprised he was younger than me though.’

"Oh, my turn, my turn! I am Himegami Arisa, also a second year grader from Isogami High. Nice to meet you! Ah, i already know Yuya and Shuu-ya from school, though this is first time we talked to each other, right?"

"Haha, there's probably nobody in school who doesn't know you. Isn't that right, yuya? Though, what's with Shuu-ya?"

The delinquent stayed silent , and the girl named Arisa continued to eat.

“Ah, it's because everyone in the school calls you shuu-ya, so I automatically... should I call you in another way?" The girl muttered with a cute look.

"No, no. it's fine. I'll call you Arisa then from now on, is that fine?"

"Sure!" Arisa replied cheerfully.

After they introduced each other, it was finally the black haired girl turn.

Sigh it's my turn next, huh... but, I'm bad at conversing with people my age... Especially those guys that look like Riajuu... Though i can speak easily to "bad" people or someone without friends. I wonder why?

Seemingly giving up, she decided,

Yosh, i'll just keep eating!

"Next is... uhh"

Shuu seems troubled and glance at Yuya, asking for help. Yuya couldn’t help but sigh.

"Hey, glutton pig over there. Stop getting so close with food, you are not bound to each other by fate. You can hear us, right? Go introduce yourself and get it over already!"

Hearing that, the girl stopped eating and stared at him.

Once she calmed down, she agreed to finish it already.

"Mika...furuan *cough cough* gobi"

Since she spoke in such a hurry, the food got stuck inside her throat and her speaking became incomprehensible.

"Goblin? Haha. it fits you. Only a small fry could have a big mouth like that, or is your stomach like that too?"

The delinquent looked amused.

When the girl finally swallowed the food, she only smiled silently and pointed a middle finger at Yuya.

"Ebisugawa mika. Second year Isogami High."

She only spat out short sentences.
