Chapter 17.5 Journey

 

First case: Sakura.

[Is it okay for me to ask you something, Sakura?]

[What is it?]

[Do you want to return to your original world?]

I’ve always wanted to hear her opinion. From the fragments of her past that I’ve heard, I couldn’t say it was a happy environment. So I want to hear her feelings about returning to that kind of world.

After Sakura heard what I asked, she thinks for a while and then answers.

[Honestly, I don’t have any desire to return home right now.]

[May I hear the reason behind this decision?]

[Yes. When I was summoned to this world, I didn’t know much about the situation in this world or whether I was going to live or die, at first. Both Jin-kun and your actions changed my mind.]

It seems she doesn’t want to return as much as I thought.

[When I calmed down and thought about my former world and this world carefully, there wasn’t much difference, especially since you don’t know when you are going to die.]

[No, it’s easier to die in this world…]

[Really? I was a powerless high school girl in the former world, but in this world, I have enough power to protect myself and defeat monsters. Malice in the former world was vague, but it’s easy to detect here.]

I understand what Sakura wants to say. It is okay to fight fire with fire here, but it was hard to do that in our former world.

[Then, what about your family and friends? Do you want to return and see them?]

[I don’t want that either. I didn’t have any friends nor teachers I respected either. And parents? Could you stop mentioning them?]

Hmm… Her past might be darker than I thought.

[Jin-kun is in this world. I was able to make friends with Dora-chan, Mio-chan and Maria-chan. See? Isn’t this world better?]

When talking about friends, it seems she has more friends than in the former world.

[That is my answer, but what about Jin-kun? If Jin-kun wants to return to our former world, I will return, too.

[Me…? Actually, I think I’m with you. I don’t want to return, either. If I had been summoned here alone, I might want to go back, but the whole school was summoned here…]

[What do you mean?]

[Hmm… I could say that this is an opportunity…]

[Eh?]

[I don’t need to worry about my parents, either. So I don’t have any desire to return, at all. But “Can’t return” and “Not return” are totally different. I still want to find a way to return to the former world, but that isn’t our first priority.]

[Understood. Please remember that I only follow Jin-kun, after all.]

[Yeah.]

Second case: Mio.

[Come to think of it, do you want to return to your former world, Mio?]

[Eh? I’m going to follow you, wherever you are.]

This was a little unexpected. I don’t think she’s had many enjoyable experiences in this world.

[This world is interesting, like my former world. Fortunately, I have the appearance of being Japanese.]

[I guess you have an emotional attachment to this world.]

[It seems so. Apart from my hometown, I think it is better that I follow Master. Just because I can’t meet my former family, won’t Master support me?]

[If it is about finances, I will leave it in your hands.]

[Of course! I will show you how serious I am!]

Well… I forget to say something.

[Oh, about your former family or family register, please don’t worry because I can manage something.]

[Eh, Master? Can you do that?]

[Well, I have some connections…]


Third case: Maria.

[Maria, what are you going to do if I return to my former world?]

[I will follow you.]

Her answer is what I expected.

[But I don’t think you’ll be able to live there easily because there aren’t any beastmen there.]

[I’ll just cut my ears and tail off.]

[Don’t go that far…]

She is serious, as always.

[If you don’t want me to follow, I won’t follow.]

[Really?]

[Because I give Jin-sama’s heart top priority. In that case, can I have your affection?]

Affection?

[Because I will stay here and live with my child who is born with Jin-sama…]

[I-I will think about it…]

Please don’t say that.

Forth case: Dora.

[I will take Dora along with me. The end.]

<<What are you talking about?>>

[I’m talking about how cute Dora is.]

<<Ehe Ehe~>>

[Err… Why did you ask each of us?]

Sakura asked.

[Yeah, I’m thinking about our objectives from now on.]

[Our objectives from now on? Does Jin-sama want to return to his former world?]

Maria asked, a bit worried.

[I don’t know, but that isn’t our top priority.]

[Really? Since you hate this world, wouldn’t you want to return to your former world as quickly as you can?]

I guess Mio saw that part of me.

[No, I don’t hate this world. Shouldn’t we gather more information before we decide whether to hate it or not?]

I Won’t make a decision yet.

[I hate this country, but it doesn’t mean I hate this world, too. After we leave this country, I want to go sightseeing before I make a decision, if possible.]

[Uh-huh, So returning to our former world isn’t our top priority, right?]

[Sakura and I don’t have any reasons to return to our former world. If Sakura wants to return, I would do my best to find a way, but she doesn’t want to do that.]

I look at Sakura, and she nods back to me.

[I was bullied in my former world. Since Jin-kun is in this world, and I have power, it is better than my former world. So… I have no objections.]

[I don’t have a problem, either. There is no reason for me to desperately want to return. I’ll still look for a way to return, for sure, but that isn’t our top priority. I still want to do some sightseeing in this world…]

Yeah, sightseeing. If this world is beyond saving, it wouldn’t be unreasonable to return to our former world.

[Then does that mean you are going to do some sightseeing before you decide whether to stay in this world or not?]

[That’s right. Since I asked everyone about their opinions a little while ago, I’m going to comply them.]

<<What are you talking about?>>

Since talking with Dora is useless, it doesn’t matter.

[Dora, if I wanted to go to a faraway place, would you want to come along with me?]

<<Uh! Of course~>>

See? It is doesn’t matter, at all.

[Lastly, with my special power, no matter what kind of enemy we have, I won’t let them do as they wish.]

[It is my declaration to be the strongest in the world…]

[This is my goal for now.]

No matter what kind of enemy I have to face, I won’t lose. I must protect my important things from any threats. So this is my goal: to become the strongest.

[So, our priorities are sightseeing, improving our strength, and finding a way to return, in this order.]

[Understood. Since I will follow Jin-kun, I will leave the next destination to you. To be honest, any place is fine, as long as it isn’t in this country…]

[I also don’t want to do any sightseeing in this country. If we want to sine sightseeing, I want to do it in the place we can enjoy.]

[I will follow Jin-sama anywhere you go.]

<<I want to eat a lot of delicious food~>>

This is our plan for the future. For now, though, we need to leave this country quickly.
