Chapter 51
Anger, And then
That means, youre currently searching for a way to return to our former world, right, Kitsune-senpai?
Thats right.
After that, after waiting for a while, opening the guilds door, the hero arrived here. In doing so, the adventurers inside the guild were all surprised and put their hands on their respective weapons, that was quite a memorable moment there. In a certain sense, even I also got an intense urge to hit his face after all, the moment I saw the beautiful miko who appeared after him, thats it.
Then, since that beauty is currently registering themselves as adventurers, so its decided that Ill have a chat with the hero at this moment.
And then, right now, after explaining my circumstance, I successfully tell him that currently Im searching for a way to return to our former world.
So, like the moment when you were summoned here, I was wondering whether you know anything about a way to return, or I so thought.
Hmm the moment I was summoned here, it happened very sudden after all when I was coming home from school, I was wrapped in light, and before I noticed it I was already here. Ah, come to think of it, Ive heard that to summon here, seems like they had to sacrifice one persons life
One, persons life?
Does that means, to return to our world, I also have to sacrifice one persons life, I wonder? If thats really the case, how troublesome, that means Id have to sacrifice someone around me, right?
Moreover, he said that before he noticed it he was already here, that couldnt be used as reference at all.
Does he really have no proper information, I wonder? How useless.
is there anything else you know?
Hmm hmm sorry but, I dont think I have any other useful information. Ever since I came here, I did nothing but practice after all, and Ive never investigated about this matter either.
I see, well, it cant be helped then.
It cant be helped my ass, isnt that means that this hero is plainly and genuinely useless? Ive fully understood that he doesnt hold any clue at all, my efforts coming here are all in vain.
However, even though this hero seems like doesnt know anything, the royal family who know the summoned ritual smell pretty fishy. First, how did they know about the existence of another world, then how did they find a way to connect this world to that another world, there are many things that bother me.
Could it be, perhaps inside that giant castle, therere books that recorded about such stuff? That means I have to stealthily infiltrate the castle, but therere gatekeepers after all, so I think achieving that would be pretty hard.
May I also ask you about something?
Hmm, I dont mind.
What have you been doing up until now, Kitsune-senpai? Unlike me, you werent summoned here, were you?
Thats right, I have no recollection ever being summoned here, being warmly welcomed and living comfortably like you, after all.
Since I was awaken inside a forest full of magical beast, I desperately tried to stay alive, you see.
Eh?
My initial spec was exactly just as a normal high school boys were, and since I had no weapon so I was almost died many times, you know? Ive met a boar sized wolf, giant spider, and lastly Ive even got attacked by Red Night I honestly feel that this difference in treatment is too unfair.
When I sternly staring at the hero, out of words, the hero makes a face as if feeling bad about it. Honestly speaking, I think he feels a great sense of guilt about the great difference of our circumstances. Seems like this hero holds quite a sense of justice after all, thats why I think that hed surely feel so.
Moreover, seems like his and my initial specs are also distant apart. I can easily understand it by looking at his status.

Is he a monster or something, I wonder? Doesnt it means that his ability is even comparable to an A rank? Moreover, despite his level is lower than that esteemed uncles, but his statuses are by far surpassed esteemed uncles. Resistance-wise mine is still higher, but its a bit irritating that his offensive power is damn too high. Well, status-wise, Leila-chans is still higher, though.
B, but Red Night is A rank demon, right? Im surprised you could survive from it, Kitsune-senpai.
Hmm, well many things happened, you see my left eye was eaten, but I was somehow left alive.
I cant tell him that she has actually become my stalker, right? But, Im sure this hero doesnt know that not a mere A rank anymore, she has evolved into an unreachable monster of S rank, doesnt he? Well, we never said a word about it, so right now everyone other than I and my comrades are all thinking that shes still an A rank demon. Well, I have no obligation to tell him about this, so lets just keep quiet about it for now.
Or so I thought, but, hearing my words, seems like it lit the heros curiousness.
That means did you see it? Red Nights appearance?
I saw it. It was covered by dark miasma, but I can see red eyes inside that dark miasma. It has consciousness, but words wouldnt reach it, though.
Y, you seem quite knowledgeable about it.
Many things happened, you see.
I can confidently say it, that in this world, theres no human that know her better than me.
Nagi-sama, its finished.
Ah, Cecil. Thank you.
Not at all, please accept it this is your guild card, Nagi-sama.
Yeah.
And, the cutie who wears miko clothes comes approaching us. Well, she came together with hero-kun, so she must be the Cecil that I just as saw in his status as his party member, right? Why must always the hero who is blessed by such devoted cutie? Please exchange her with Leila-chan.
Kitsune-san, is the talk over?
Hmm, Finia-chan, sorry, it isnt over yet.
I see, pretty long isnt it!?
There, Finia-chan who I asked to hide inside the mask again, comes out because she gets tired of waiting. Well, its fine already huh, theres already no reason to hide Finia-chan further either after all, and since its cramped there so it should be fine to let her comes out, right.
Thinking so, coming out from the mask, Finia-chan sits on the table.
Kitsune-senpai who is that girl?
Hmm, my companion, Fairy, Finia-chan.
Could it be an idea kind?
Hero-kun is surprised upon seeing Finia-chan, so I introduce her to him, but the miko beside him floats a more surprised face and asks so. Of course, it would make an uproar if it is exposed to the surroundings, so she asks it in low tone, though.
Well, she comes out from the mask after all, it cant be helped if she thinks so. Or rather, thats very obvious, isnt it?
well, something like that.
Thats amazing!
When I answer so, she opens her eyes wide and hold her mouth with her hand. As I though, seems like idea kind sure is rare, huh. Finia-chan also said so, and being able to meet one could already be considered as lucky after all.
And then, doesnt grasp the situation, hero-kun opens his mouth.
Umm Cecil, what is idea kind?
Ah, umm to put it simply, fairy are generally divided into nature kind and idea kind, and idea kind is a very rare kind that are only several dozens of it exist in this world.
I see so, this girl also one if it?
Yes idea kinds were born through an article that hold a deep feeling in it, Im sure thats also the case with that mask.
Hero-kun and Cecil-chans gazes are sent toward my mask. Dont look at it, I wont give it to you even if you want it, after all. Because this is my treasure, after all.
Or rather, I dont like how that miko-chan looking at Finia-chan with such greedy gazes.
Moreover, perhaps its because shes before the hero, but her gaze toward me, or rather at all adventurers here other that the hero, I can see that shes looking down on us on it.
Perhaps she think that shes skillfully hidden it, but surprisingly I can see it, you know? Because Im used to such gazes, after all.
Hee is there any difference between nature kind and idea kind?
There is. Idea kinds possess much more power than nature kind. Because all idea kind possess prowess comparable to an A rank demon, after all.
That means this girl also the same?
Currently, Im not sure about it, but I believe that she surely will be in the future however, either way fairy is a gentle race, so I believe there should be no reason to make a war against them, right?
Somehow theyve entered their own world. Arent I just an air here? Thats a bit unpleasant, could they just explode themselves, I wonder?
Seems like Finia-chan also thinks so, she shows me a face as of looking at something very unpleasant. I also think so, thats what I tell her with my nod. I feel like theres some kind of bond that born between I and Finia-chan.
Hmm?
Whats the matter?
And then, this time heros gaze is facing at the guilds entrance. Seems like theres someone entered here.
I spontaneously turn my gaze there. The one there is a female adventurer with slanted eyes as if looking at a pig, and a male slave who is pulled by that woman. At his neck, theres a slavery choker similarly like the one Lulu-chan wears, but with chain on it.
There are many beating scars on that male slaves body, its easy to tell that hes received many abusement in a glance. Heros face is slightly distorted.
Cecil, what is that?
Thats a slave, whats the matter about it?
Is that a natural spectacle in this country?
Umm is there anything strange from it?
Listening to that conversation, perhaps I and hero hold a similar thought. Disgust toward a thought that oppressing slaves is a matter of course at this country.
But, well, but thats something we couldnt do anything about. The weak to be oppressed is, something we couldnt do anything about, hero-kun. Because I was also the same, after all.
.
Seems like he couldnt consent with it, hero-kun. What a sense of justice he holds there. However, even if he saves that male slave right here right now, it doesnt necessarily means he would save all slaves around. If you do nothing but saving the one before you, then that isnt justice, but simply self-satisfaction.
say, Kitsune-senpai.
What is it?
Kitsune-senpai, do you also consider that as normal?
I
Toward that question, I intend to give him my own thought about the matter. However, I cant say it to the end.
Kitsune-sama.
Lulu-chan, Rishe-chan and Leila-chan, too.
From the rear of that female adventurer, Lulu-chan and co. appear there. Perhaps, they thought about taking a request, but, for my slave (Lulu-chan) to appears here is a lethal fact.
Suddenly,
Kitsune-san!!
I can hear Finia-chan shouting my name, and yet, I cant answer her.
Thats because, the moment I hear her voice, I already am blown away to the outside through guilds wall, after all.
Ga gu gafu!?
Bouncing and rolling on the ground, I can hear sounds as if my bones and skins are cracking. While somehow rearranging my dizzy mind, I look toward the guild.
The one there, the hero, who is in a stance of swinging his fist in anger.
And then, Ive fully grasp the situation. That I just got hit and blown away by him.
hero-kun.
I understand the reason, thats because I have a slave. Even if I say that shes together with me as my family, its a matter of course that no one could know it just by looking. Because, she wears slavery chocker after all. Such excuse, of course they wont believe it.
At once, I stand up. And then, toward the just standing me, he starts walking and approaching step by step. Despite were quite a distant apart, I dont feel like Ill be able to run away.
you I wished you were different however, youre just the same, as the adventurer before.
He says so while glaring at me.
Cecil floated a calm face about it, so I thought that that was a common sense at this world, that was why it couldnt be helped or so I thought. However, however youre different, arent you?!!
Arriving before me, he shouts so while grabbing my collar.
How could you do such a thing?!!
Slavery, thats a hard to imagine existence for us who were born in japan. However, when you see one before your own eyes, youd be able to understand it at that instant. For us, thats something that shouldnt be allowed to exist, people oppressing other, thats something you must never do after all.
Thats why, for me who brazenly do it(slavery)exactly before his own eyes, he couldnt forgive me.
At this world, slavery is already a common sense, you know? I needed a slave, that was why I bought one dont think Im the same as you who is soaked by everyones affection, you damned hero.
Thats why, I say so. Cant be forgiven? That should my word. Lulu-chan is indeed a slave, but shes my family. Dont just arbitrarily insult my family based on your selfish prejudice.
Also, for someone who are blessed with everyones affections, and dont understand just how blessed you are, you have no right no say so.
I see, got it. I fully understand it youre different than me.
Thats right, please dont lump me together someone whove never experienced death even once like you.
Perhaps the hero doesnt think me as similar other worlder as he is anymore, right? Its a matter of course for someone whos possessing slave, but for someones whos willing to buy a slave, he also couldnt forgive them.
Its easy to explain that Lulu-chan is my family, but looking at the fact that she wears that collar, Im sure he wont believe it. No matter how I explain it to him, Im sure its impossible to convince him.
such a small girl I cant let her to be together with the like of you.
Ha?
What the hell is he talking about?
Cecil.
Whats the matter?
And then, before I noticed it, the miko is already beside him. The hero let off my colar, and talk to her while still facing at me.
At this country, the strong is the right one right?
yes, thats right.
then, if I defeat him here Im the right one, right?
Thats how it would be the victor, shall have the rights over all the losers belonging.
I see, thank you.
Saying so, he sifts his consciousness toward me.
Do you hear that? I challenge you to a duel with me, right here right now.
Ha?
Suddenly, he challenge me on a duel. I dont know what hes talking about, but I have no reason to accept it.
Moreover, even if I accept it, I dont see any chance for me to win. So, why must I accept it?
Thinking so, the hero suddenly says something unbelievable
If I win Ill take your slave.
The one he wants to take away from me in this duel is Lulu-chan.
