I Kinda Came to Another World, but Where’s the Way Home?

Appointment

My first impression upon seeing the hero was a refreshingly cool hunk.

When I left the inn, I could immediately find where the castle was. Or rather, since it was the largest and the tallest building in this whole country, perhaps it could be seen from anywhere within this country, right? Moreover, the inn was located pretty close to the castle. I could immediately arrived at the castles entrance after walking for several minutes.

After that, I told the gatekeepers that I wanted to meet the hero, but unfortunately they didnt allow me to meet him. And when I tried to deceive them using my eloquence, luckily the hero appeared here himself.

Are you perhaps, the hero?

Yes, Im the hero!

Since he hurriedly ran here, perhaps he saw me from somewhere, didnt he? Even though I wore nothing but this gakuran, but if he saw this clothes, I was sure he would immediately understand that I also similarly came from another world, after all.

Even if he was well welcomed here as hero, but the people around him were still nothing but people from another world, after all.

From the bottom of his heart, theres no way he wouldnt feel a nostalgic feeling from this. As long as he still has any lingering feeling for his former world, though.

Thats why, if he saw me, I thought that perhaps he would immediately came out. Seems like my luck is pretty good here.

Ah, umm by any chance umm.

There, the spirit he had when he first appeared here has been diminished, and he acts in flusters.

Well, inquiring someone whether he is an other worlder or not is pretty hard, after all.

Because, if I say that Im someone from this world, then that would be very embarrassing, after all.

I dont know from which world you came, but earth or japan, do you know any of it?

!! Y, yes, I know it! That means you too?

Yup, thats right. Im also similarly an ( ) as you.

When I directly say that Im also an other worlder in our native language, I and the hero, seems like we can pretty much grasp that we came from the same world.

He immediately floats a full face smile, and let out a sigh in relief.

So theres someone with same circumstance as me here, huh sorry but, it slightly put me in relief.

Well, I came to this world earlier than you, though.

Is that so? umm is it okay if I inquire your name?

My name is Kitsune, to make it more familiar, you may also add senpai suffix at it, you know?

Appearance-wise, hes taller than me, our gazes wont meet unless I look up at him. His body is firm but slim and long. His attires are the one from this world, but since he has long limbs so it suits him well.

But, since his face looks pretty young, I think hes younger than me, isnt he? I came here earlier, after all, so Im sure that Im the senior here.

Hahaha, youre right then, Ill gladly refer you at such, Kitsune-senpai.

Ah, you really call me so, huh by the way, how old are you?

Im 17.

Good, even age-wise Im the senior here.

If he were older than me, I was wondering what should I do. Being called senpai by someone older is a bit awkward, after all.

Or rather, this hero seems pretty friendly, huh. Seems like he has a considerably high communication ability. At our former world, seems like he was a person who would live a normal fags life, wasnt he? It would be good if he just blow himself up and die, though.

Umm and then, why are you here, Kitsune-senpai?

Ah, I come here because I have some business with you.

With me?

Hero-kun inclines his head and folds his arms.

Well, since our circumstance here are distance apart, it cant be helped if you think so.

Different from you who have the goal to subjugate the demon lord, my goal is nothing but to return to our former world, after all.

Well at least, I want to have a thorough chat with you, but, do you have any time?

Anyhow, as long as we dont have a chat, nothing would begin, after all.

He, who was summoned here as hero, and me, who suddenly at this world upon my death, whats the difference between us, also, whether he know a way for me to return to our former world

please dont betray my expectation, hero-kun.

got it, Im intending to go to the guild later, so could you wait for me there?

Fine. Well then, see you later.

Yeah.

After that, I leave that place. Having decided our rendezvous place, I go to the guild. We return to where we came from respectively, I walk through the city street, and he walks toward the castle.

With this, Ive got an appointment to have a chat with the hero. This is a great step. After listening to the story he has, what kind of decision Ill make who knows.

nevertheless.

After walking for a while, I turn only my face. The one Im looking at is, the back of the hero who is walking toward the castle.

what an intimidating air, as expected of a hero, right?

Ive felt it ever since he was before me, the intimidating air of a hero. Even though hes pretty tall already, I feel like he looks even greater in my eyes. Even right now is the same, his leaving back is, greatly standing firm as if a giant.

How scary, as expected of hero our airs are greatly different, right?

Kitsune-san?

Im fine, shall we go, Finia-chan.

Before I met the hero, I asked Finia-chan to return inside the mask, and now she has appeared here again and dubiously calling out to me. Im sure a fairy is very rare for him, thats why I asked her to hide so that I could have a calm conversation with him.

I answer her with my usual faint smile. Turning my face, I continue to walk again. For now, lets go to adventurer guild first.

After walking for a while, I finally arrived at the guild. Since it was the place Leila-can led us to before, I was a bit lost before arriving here. It was quite an ordeal since I didnt know the location where our inn was either.

Well, Ive somehow arrived here, so lets dont fret about it too much.

Opening the door, I enter the guild. Everyone here are all unfamiliar faces, but those seemingly strong adventurers gazes are all gathered at me.

And then,

DIE!!

Eh?

The person who suddenly appeared before me is, laying a kick at my head.

Agi!?

Ai!!

The one touching my head is, the sensation of hard boots. Together with someones scream of fighting spirit, Im horizontally blown away from the entrance toward the wall.

And then, from the place I was there just a moment ago, I can hear a sound of someone is landing there. Even the clatter inside the guild is settled down to the point I can hear that landing sound.

what happens?

Kitsune-san, are you okay?

Yes, Im fine, but what happens?

While answering Finia-chans words, Im bewildered. And then, to grasp the situation, I look toward where the landing sound comes from.

There, a familiar girl is standing there. Wearing similar uniform as Mia-chan, even though she has a petite body, she possess voluptuous breasts, and shes staring at me a determined eyes. Since there are veins popping out at her forehead, no matter how you look at it, shes angry.

Ah right, I remember her. Shes the ace receptionist here Runa-chan. She was enraged because of my remark, wasnt she? So shes still angry, huh, what an avengeful girl. How troublesome.

Umm are you still angry because of what I said yesterday?

Thats a matter of course! After making a fool of me that much, theres no way Ill forgive you that easily, dont I?

Even though youre a receptionist, what a belligerent girl you are.

At this country, its already a common sense that even the receptionist are strong, or rather, if you cant beat a receptionist, then theres no way youll be able to survive here, you know?

Are the receptionists here really that strong? As expected of military country, huh. Lair of battles junkies, theres nothing but muscle brain here, huh. Well, thats exactly why theyre strong, right?

Nonetheless, what should I do about her anger, I wonder? it doesnt seems like shed forgive me if I apologize either, after all well, whatever, even if she wont forgive me. My reason coming here is to meet the hero, after all.

How troublesome this girl.

What did you say?!

Haa ah, is it okay if I sit here?

Eh? Ah, I dont mind, but.

DONT IGNORE ME!!!

Ignoring Runa-chan whos stomping her feet, I sit at the nearby open seat. Ive asked permission to the muscled adventurer who sit there, after all, so lets just sit there while waiting for the hero to be arriving here.

When I thought so, Runa-chans hand is placed atop my shoulder.

Do you need something?

You see I

Sorry, I already have someone I love, so sorry, I cant answer your feeling.

Why did you make it as if I were going to confess to you!!

What, it wasnt a confession, huh. Since you were calling out to me while hanging your head, so I thought all of your angry acts thus far were to hide your embarrassment, though. Im somewhat shocked here, I feel like I just got betrayed.

You traitor!

Do you really want to die that badly?!

Say, Finia-chan I thought that finally there was a girl who was going to confess to me, you know? But it all comes to this what the hell is this?

Please dont be too overconfident, Kitsune-san! Just think about it logically, theres no way youll ever be confessed to by a human, right?

Finia-chan, you just gave me the finishing blow there.

If it isnt a confession then Im not interested at all. Taking care of troublesome girl, Leila-chan is more than enough for me already, so please dont bother me that much.

Ignoring the screaming and squealing Runa-chan, I rest my chin atop my hand while waiting for the hero.

Come to think of it, hows Lulu-chan and the others doing, I wonder?

Its good as long as theyre having fun, but Im a bit worried about whether Leila-chan properly guard them or not. That girl is pretty much always at her own pace and moreover a selfish one, after all.

Hey!

What is it? Youve been so noisy ever since a moment ago, you know?

Gu thats because youve been ignoring me, dont you?

Thats because youve been doing something that makes me want to ignore you, dont you?

Thats because youve been doing something that makes me want to do something that makes you want to ignore me, dont you?

Ahaha, what is that supposed to mean?

I really want to hit you!!

I really just laughing because I dont understand what she says. This feels as if playing around with a kid, well, in her case, her playful power isnt something to be laughed at, though. But she sure is someone that makes me want to tease her. I have no intention to befriend her, though.

Runa-chans face is bright red and glaring at me with resentment, but she reluctantly return to her seat after being called by the other receptionist. She keeps glaring at me to the bitter ends, but I honestly think that I didnt do anything wrong. At least, today I havent done anything wrong, I think.

Ah, the gazes from the surrounding are hurt.

After parting with Kitsune, Nagi immediately returned to his room.

Immediately woke the sleeping Cecil up, he started his preparation to go out. He was in high spirit and could only think about his urge to meet and had a chat with Kitsune as soon as possible.

Looking at such Nagi, Cecil couldnt understand what happened, but looking at him nimbly finishing his preparations, she also hurriedly started preparing herself.

And then, after preparing himself for a while, Nagi already equipped his armor atop his clothes, and placed the sword at his waist, and then he immediately took the luggage they had prepared the day before. After wearing her usual miko clothes, Cecil immediately let out her mind.

What happened to be in that hurry, Nagi-sama?

Hmm, ah I just met a pretty interesting person. And weve promised to have a chat in the guild later.

Hee I see.

Seems like he has something to discuss about with me, and since I also want to have a chat with him so I want to go there as soon as possible.

Nagi left the room with an excited expression. Cecil walked following him. Seemingly wanted to go to the guild as soon as possible, he walked briskly through the hallway.

Looking at that, Cecil thought about it a bit, and then calling out to a maid nearby.

Umm, do you have a second?

Ah, yes, is there anything I can help you with?

I and Hero-sama are going to go to the guild ahead, so please tell Silphy and Jik to meet us there.

Certainly, please be careful.

Silphy and Jik, those two were the persons who were prepared by the king to aid the hero to subjugate the demon lord on this journey. An A rank magician, Silphy, and an A rank swordsman, Jik, both of them were people with pretty outstanding prowess.

The initial plan was they were going to departure from the castle together, but since Nagi unexpectedly wanted to departure earlier, so it was decided that they were going to meet them at the guild later.

Acknowledging that, the maid bowed her head, and Cecil hurriedly ran after Nagi.

Please wait for me, Nagi-sama.

Hmm?

I do understand that youre excited about it, but please calm yourself a bit. If youve promised to meet again then, Im sure he wouldnt go anywhere. Moreover, do you even know the way toward the guild is?

Ah youre right, sorry.

Getting cautioned by Cecil, Nagi suppressed his excitement. Feeling a bit apologetic, he scratched his head, and dejectedly dropped his shoulders. As if a child that got scolded by his parent.

Fufufu well then, shall we get going. Ill guide you till the adventurer guild.

Looking as such Nagi, Cecil chuckled as if looking at something funny, and then walked before Nagi. When she grabbed the dejected Nagis hand, he started walking again after pulling himself together.

Even though he was a hero, he was somewhat childish, however still a kind man. That was Serizawa Nagi.

Ill be relying on you, Cecil.

Please leave it to me, because Im your miko, after all.

It was just a bit more than a week ever since he came to this world, however, within such a short period, a bound was surely had been built between the two of them.
