Chapter 15 – Nanase Iori 1 – Part 2The cla.s.sroom was suddenly enveloped in light.
「Kya…… so bright……」
「J, just what!? What is happening!?」
A thundering roar.
My cla.s.smates started panicking.
Before I noticed, I and all of my cla.s.smates were in a place that wasn’t our cla.s.sroom.
「Where…… is this……?」
It was a dark, gloomy, wide room.
A questionable magic circle was s.h.i.+ning under my feet, people dressed in mage-like clothes were surrounding us.
Clearly abnormal situation.
「Wai…… What the h.e.l.l is happening!?」
「Oi, where are we!? Weren’t we in a cla.s.sroom a while ago!?」
Cla.s.smates fell into confusion like a stirred up hornet’s nest.
Everyone either screamed or cried.
「Calm down! Everyone calm down! Don’t panic!」
Sumeragi, who has a strong sense of justice tries to calm the cla.s.smates down.
（That’s right, calm down. Calm down, me. Don’t loose self-control, I need to put myself together）
Even after falling into such strange situation, I must not panic.
As a cla.s.s president, I must grasp the situation precisely.
（Sudden light…… before I noticed, a different place…… magic circle, black robes……）
I have a vaguely unpleasant feeling.
Perhaps, no, such ridiculous thing would intensively collide with my common sense.
（What is guaranteed……）
The pedestal that allows people to look down on us.
Over there, a man with a white beard dressed in typical king’s clothes is looking at us with open arms.
（This is after all……!!）
Unbelievable.
But, this situation which resembles many fantasy novels in my possession.
A typical king’s welcome after different world metastasis.
Right, this is definitely──
『Welcome to our Kingdom!! Saviors of the world!!』
──I was now completely convinced that my entire cla.s.s was summoned to a different world.
My unpleasant feeling has proven right beautifully.
「H, hey, wait!? Are you seriously going to drive me away!?」
「Driving away sounds disgraceful. Isn’t it an honorable duty to mine the Magic Stones needed to fight a war?」
After the sudden welcome, they have explained the situation, and our skills were measured.
Right now, one of our cla.s.smates is getting thrown out.
Kamijou Tak.u.ma.
He is famous in the cla.s.s for being a two-dimensional otaku.
In a bad meaning.
Otakus are destined to be rejected in our school.
I, who quickly noticed that, concealed the fact that I like anime and light novels, and succeeded in playing a character unrelated to that subculture, but Kamijou did not even pretend to hide it.
Sure enough, Kamijou became a target of bullying.
Because he is an otaku, he was. .h.i.t, kicked, he was gossiped about, and finally his slippers were stolen and his light novels thrown away.
…… I wanted to help him.
But, it was hopeless.
Becoming Kamijou’s ally meant making enemies of the whole cla.s.s.
I didn’t have the courage to jump into such deathly situation.
However, the person in question didn’t show the slightest concern about bullying.
He lived his otaku-ish life without getting discouraged.
I don’t know how many times I wanted to ask him how he can keep going.
He is one of the few people that caught my interest.
In a bad meaning.
This Kamijou I just mentioned seems to possess only a digging skill.
The situation became like this because of that.
I must stop them!
Such thought crossed my mind after seeing such scene.
But, I couldn’t move because of the thought of loosing the position I have worked so hard for.
Sensei tried her best to stop them by herself alone, but the decision was already made during the time I was staring in surprise.
──I couldn’t do anything.
While holding the feelings of guilt,
「Eh, serves you right!」
Tougou’s laughing voice came suddenly from behind.
Other cla.s.smates also start talking noisily.
「What’s that, how lame」
「Otakus are good for nothings, after all」
「Rather than that, look at my skill! It sounds incredibly powerful!」
「Oo are you for reals!? How coool!! As expected of Aomura!」
（What is this……）
Even though one of their cla.s.smates got forcibly taken away, they continue going on like nothing ever happened.
The disappearance of a their cla.s.smate seems to be just a trifling matter after all.
When I look at the hard reality before me, I start feeling nauseous.
Still, I can’t get shaken up.
In this kind of situation, we should cooperate with each other.
I must gather information and go to the direction that will be the most favorable to me.
I made my mind and jumped into my cla.s.smates’ circle.
