01-03- What’s wrong with a hero who can’t fight in another world?
The end of the day.
Today’s earnings is 20 coppers and one silver.
One silver is 100 coppers, so i’ve earned 120 coppers. This is the best harvest I’ve had since arriving in Arcadia.
If I keep going like this, one day I’ll get .......”
Coin purse → 1 Silver 18 Copper
I made 40 coppers in one day today, minus living expenses. It was a perfect day for me, as I was struggling to live or die.
The gleam of silver coins shining in my change bag, is something I hadn’t seen in a long time.
As I chewed on a piece of bad black bread, I dreamed.

Obtain the will of the monster, and that day, I become a warrior.

Beginning of the day.
I woke up in my cheap apartment, brushed my teeth, bit into a stick of bread (chocolate), dressed quickly, and headed to school.
Huh. ....... It’s so annoying, reality.
Ahh. ......
I was five minutes away from school when a cool sound made me turn around.
I ran into a girl from my class named Reina Akari.
She has waist-length black hair, a straight back, a neat appearance holding a black student bag in both hands, and round eyes.
The sound of her beautiful shoes stop, as she turns and stares at me with her mouth open. I look back, but there is no one there....... It’s me she’s looking at.
“Oh, good morning.”
Ad
“Good morning.......”
After a short greeting, I turned my back to her. After a short hesitant pause, my dull footsteps were followed by the sound of her shoes.
Akari Rena.
She was one of the few students in the class whose name I knew.
A few days ago, in a classroom after school.
Twilight had dyed them both red.
“Oh, my name is Reina Akari. ....... I really like you, Fujima Tohru-kun. Will you go out with me?
“If this is a punishment game, take it somewhere else.”
He replied quickly, put his bag on his back, and left her in the classroom.
Ugh.... this is the third confession counting from junior high school!, I’m super popular!
Ad
My heart was cold enough to not be .......
First time, second time, same thing.
It was the cool kids idea of a punishment game. {TN: Changed paripi to 'cool kids'}
It’s a punishment game where you confess your feelings to a shady guy or an ugly guy, and when they give you the okay, you reveal the truth and laugh among your friends.
It must be the same this time, though with a different person.
I don’t get excited about this kind of thing anymore, I don’t blush, I don’t get my heart racing.
If you’re going to play a punishment game, don’t bother other people.
Reina Akari's confession only gave me such irritation.
“How do I get ...... to believe me?”
School route.
I don’t turn around to the voice at my back.
I was saved by Fujima-kun at that time........
“Reina!”
Her thin voice is drowned out by the voice of a girl who smells like ass.
“ it’s Fujiki, Yaba"
Ad
“.............”
“............”
She quietly whispers to Akari
You know what? I can hear everything you’re saying. Well, I’m not going to say anything because when I say it, she’ll just say, “I said it so you could hear it, you idiot.”
By the way, my name is Fujima, not Fujiki.
Anyway, I didn’t feel like answering the question, “How can I trust you?
You’re on that side.
I’m on this side.
How can I trust you when you say you’re on my side, but you don’t say anything back to your friends who are talking bad about me right now?

A name is very important.
It helps to make an impression on people, and more importantly, people are sometimes bullied because of their names.
It’s a good thing I have a more normal name, Fujima Toru. But even if it wasn’t my name, I would have been bullied.
“Jimiko (plain girl), come quick.”
“Yes, yes ......”
It’s been almost a week since I started school. There are only two people whose names I know in this class.
One of them was Reina Akari from earlier. Even though it’s a punishment game, I can’t help but remember when they introduce themselves.
The other one is ......
“Hey! Come on Jimiko”
“Um, but these things, you’re better off doing yourself at .......”
“What? Are you defying me?”
“Heee ......, no no...... please .......”
A girl who, like me, is treated coldly in class.
She has a kind of fluffy black hair and a short, slightly chubby body. Her face is ordinary, except for her large eyes.
“Whoa, thanks, Jimiko.”
“Ugh. ......”
Of course, she was not named plain Girl.
I guess her looks and frightened personality make people call her that.
But even so, I feel sorry for her.
Ashigara Yashimiko.

Her power name is unforgettable once you hear it. Oh yeah, it’s Yashimiko so she’s Jimiko
What a senseless nickname. It’s like it’s no longer a bad word.
Yeah, I’d put it like that: .......
I thought about such unimportant things as I chewed on a piece of yakisoba bread for lunch.

“Uwaaaah! Kobold! A kobold is here!”
"Awwoooool"
Arcadia.
He stopped his collection and ran away as if he was an escaped rabbit.
“Hey, kid, you’re a hero from another world! Do something!”
“Keep your jokes to your bald head, old man! I can’t fight a guy with a spear like that!”
“You said it now, dark boy! You can only swear at bald guys or old men, you virgin!”
“You’re the one who’s both, old man! What’s wrong with being a virgin? Did I bother any other old man? I didn’t did I!?”
Spitting and swearing at each other, I managed to escape back to the south gate with a group of old locals and shouted out as I caught my breath.
“Ah, shit! I was doing so well!”
Ad
Yes, I was in good shape today.
I had been getting E’s for a long time, but for once I got a D for collecting epee grass. I wanted to make a leap to reach the double reward of Epe grass x 2.
Furthermore, I also succeeded in collecting the life herb, which is more difficult than collecting epee grass, albeit with an E grade. Unlike the epee grass, which costs 5 coppers, this one can be sold for 7 coppers.
“Damn it! I’m about to go to ......!”
An emotional outpouring that you would never do in real life.
It was a shame, but the old man’s words, which I’m sure were not meant to be malicious, had become a thorn in my side.
‘You’re a hero from another world! Do something!”
We, the people who came to Arcadia from reality, are called otherworldly heroes both in reality and in Arcadia.
In reality, you are a hero who “goes” to another world.
In the other world, you are a hero who “comes” from reality.
In order to save Arcadia, which is infested with monsters, you must fight using the unique skills given to each of you – that’s the otherworldly hero.
The same is true for my unique skill, Olympus, which gives me great aptitude for summoning magic.
However, the name of “hero” was too heavy for me now, as I had no monsters to summon, and I only earned money by gathering things and running away when monsters came.
“ Huh?...... Fujima-kun?”
As I sat by the gate, exhausted from the mad dash, breathing heavily, while deep in thought, I heard a puzzled voice call out to me.
The owner of the voice was Reina Akari, dressed in a white robe and holding a wooden staff.
“What .......”
“Oh, um, I was wondering what’s going on. And .......”
Her gaze wandered as if contemplating whether to say it or not but she finally said it.
“I never knew you were really loud, Fujima-kun, fufu......”
Her giggling and carefree smile showed no ill will toward me.
That’s why...
...... women are so scary.
“Did you think all shady people were quiet?”
“Oh, ......, no, that’s not what I meant. ......!”
“Well, I don’t usually talk. It’s better not to talk to me.”
“Why ......?”
Why?
Why don’t you understand?
I thought about telling her, but my pride wouldn’t allow me to say it myself.
Ad

“Reina!”
...... See, I didn’t have to say it, the other side gave me that reason.
“Reina, what’s wrong? …that’s fujima-kun, isn’t it? what’s going on?”
The man who came was handsome A. What’s up, Yuma?
“Wow, ......, you’re homeless?”
“Isn’t that a dirty place to sit?”
Good looking B and C. -
“I mean, Reina, if you talk to Fujiki, you’ll lose rank.”
“That’s right. It’s better to pretend you don’t see him.”
Bitch A and B.
“Oh.......”
And then there was Reina Akari. They are the top caste in our class.
Now, those of you who sit proudly at the top of the caste, middle of the caste, or at the bottom like me, you know what I’m talking about.
It’s all about bitch A’s words.
“If you talk to Fujiki, you’ll lose your rank.”
This is the answer. By the way, my name is Fujima.
By talking to me, Reina Akari could lose her rank.
Since she was in the top caste, there was no need to drop her.
I’m sure Akari understands this. As proof of this, she didn’t make any objections.
So I still think.
That was a punishment game.
She turned away from me, as if she sensed my gaze turning cold and irritable.
