Chapter 19.1
Episode 19 — Cla.s.s Meeting in a Different World #2

~ Part 1 ~

In response to Kyousuke’s words, the cla.s.s started buzzing. While not even half of his cla.s.smates was here, it still seemed to have brought quite a shock. After all, his cla.s.smates also had some attachments to the former world. Kyousuke looked at Harui (Harpy), Harui returned a glare.
Against Kyousuke, Harui was unable to say anything. When Kyousuke attempted to speak again, one of the students raised their hand.

“Ah, can I have a few words?”

Uozumi Sakeichiro. A male student who was a gillman and the leader of one of the exploration teams.
Kyousuke and Harui broke off their glares for a moment and looked at him.

“Regarding Selena-san’s hometown having j.a.panese people in it, my opinion is pretty much the same as Utsurogi. But I feel that whether Selena-san is useful at the moment or not is a different matter all together.”
“Please wait a minute anii.”



From the side of Sakeichiro, his twin sister Masus.h.i.+ro (Mermaid) pulled his fin.

“But then what shall we do about her? We can’t exactly leave things as they are right now, can we?”
“Ah no, yeah. That’s right, but…. No, in the first place, it’s necessary to have Selena-san do some kind of suitable job, is there any good idea…”

The younger sister of Uozumi brother-sister pair was still as dominant as ever. However, their interactions together with the previous exchange of Kyousuke and Harui posed various questions to their other cla.s.smates. It seemed that the students finally remembered the incompatibility of taking foreign matter like Selena into the group. Kyousuke lightly sighed as he heard their talks.

“Utsurogi-kun, thanks for the good work.”
“Ah, yeah. Himemizu too.”

Kyousuke and Rin exchanged words with each other, but the grim face of Harui had yet to be solved.

“Oi, the two of you are quite rude to to have ignored me huh?”
“Ah, yeah. That’s right…”

Kyousuke scratched his head. Well, although they managed to change the «Selena exclusion» mood slightly, the fact remained that she tore the uniform tailored for Harui. When Kyousuke looked at Selena, she timidly came out in front and ∗pekori∗ lowered her head.

“I’m sorry…. Although it’s still inexcusable even if I apologize…. I’m sorry…”
“Tsk.”

Harui clicked her tongue and looked away.

“So? What are you going to do?”
“Including that, let’s have a discussion with the cla.s.s.”

Kyousuke said, giving a glance to the noisy onlooking students.
Probably like Uozumi older brother, the students should now be calm enough to look at the present situation properly. They needed to talk to reunite opinions within the cla.s.s. At the moment, Ryuzaki’s burden was too much, and Ryuzaki was also honest, it was unthinkable for him to be able to handle all situations correctly.
There was also the treatment of Selena as well.
Kyousuke gazed at Selena, who seemed to be completely depressed. Even just listening for a bit, her knowledge was a big deal. Probably, it wasn’t only Kyousuke who exchanged words with her and touched that knowledge. If they pulled out some more, it would surely help. There must be students who thought so as well.

“Ooi, Utsurogi!”

From behind, Uozumi older brother called out, so Kyousuke turned around.

“I’m gonna go propose to Ryuzaki to abort tomorrow exploration and have a cla.s.s meeting, but i

s there anything you want to say?”
“No, nothing in particular!”

Kyousuke said waving his hand lightly. Then, Uozumi group ∗zoro zoro∗ left the dining room. Finally, Kyousuke gave a sigh.

“…Fuu.”
“Kyousuke! You are really! Really, you!” [Notes]
“Yo Akira, thanks for the good job!”
“Good grief…!”

Swelling greatly, the wisp Akira got angry at Kyousuke. This was also the usual.
k.u.mosaki group, while staying a little distance away and tried not to look at Selena began to devote themself to their work again. Harui also left the dining room. And again, «Team · Useless» was all that left in the surroundings.

“Wh–what will become of me now…?”
“To be honest, I don’t know. It may be better from now on or it may get worse. That will be discussed in the cla.s.s meeting tomorrow.”

Akira while calming his mind as much as possible, said with a slightly trembling voice.

“Perhaps, your treatment would be a little unmanageable, but we will face it directly. You’re a valuable source of information for us after all.”
“Valuable source of information … is it?”
“I told you earlier, but we know nothing about this world at all.”

As for the whole cla.s.s, they would have to face this situation soon. The existences of the «Red Winged Devil» and wilderness worms made it impossible to keep this base safe. They wouldn’t be able to keep living here peacefully forever.
And there was no knowing if there would be anything else to rely on either. However, in that sense, the heavy cruiser in the wasteland and Selena were the few clues to learn about this world.

“For example, what is the pattern of getting worse?”
“…as we’re going to head for the eastern kingdom in the future…”

Kyousuke thought, putting a hand on his chin.

“Because we are a monster legion, we may be attacked. At that time, we’ll make Selena-san a hostage?”
“Hiiee…”

Selena involuntarily gasped.

Anyway, about the cla.s.s meeting. As Ryuzaki was reaching his limits, it could be said to be a hopeful proposal. He prayed that the cla.s.s’s direction for different world life would become a little bit more clear after this meeting.

And so, the next day, the 2nd different world cla.s.s meeting was held. With Ryuzaki as the chairman. The venue was the dining room.

The majority attended the meeting, but some of the students were absent. Kogane and Inugami (Werewolf). There was also no Harao (Pharaoh). Originally Selena and Zeku were also scheduled to attend, but since the agenda was about the future policy of the cla.s.s and Selena herself so at the time of the meeting she was to be taken out of the dining room.
Naturally Kyousuke group also attended. Although they gathered in a corner, since Sak.u.ma who was sitting next to Ryuzaki waved her hands, they waved back. Next to her, Akai was sitting there, bored.

“This meeting is being held by the proposal of Uozumi and the others. I am very thankful that you’ve suggested for everyone to have their says in our future directions.”

There was no hesitation in the words of Ryuzaki who was speaking from the temporary chairman’s seat. As expected, he was truly accustomed to being a chairman.

“Well. So then, it’s the theme of today’s agenda. Asuka.”
“Hmm…”

Akai, with a bored look cut her finger and began forming characters in the air with her blood.
Firmly in j.a.panese,『Future cla.s.s policy』 and 『Selena’s treatment』were written. Ryuzaki continued speaking, pointing at it.

“These are two of them. I think it was bad to be ambiguous so far. Yesterday, Utsurogi gave us information that «there are j.a.panese in Selena-san’s country». I think most of the students who were not there must have heard of it by hearsay as well.”

Ryuzaki looked around the cla.s.s.

“I would like to hear everyone’s honest opinions. I want to return to the former world. How many people wants to return to human beings?”

In response to those words, the cla.s.s started buzzing. Everyone had their own thoughts, but never once shared it. They hesitated to put it in words and discussions, simply choosing to avert their eyes from reality.

“Before that, Ryuzaki…”

Uozumi older brother (Gillman) raised his hand and said.

“I’d like to hear about the j.a.panese people who are in Selena-san’s hometown.”
“Ah, sorry.”

Ryuzaki turned over the doc.u.ments and started talking again.

“Although this need to be confirmed with the person themself, but Selena-san has a brother. His name is Kyousuke, with the meaning of «echo» and «help». In order words, there are kanji characters here. Selena-san’s name doesn’t have this.”

A commotion spread among the cla.s.s.

“So, when I asked in more detail, it seems that Selena-san’s name followed her mother’s while her brother was named according to the form of her father’s home country.”

In other words, it was highly likely that her father was j.a.panese. In addition as a story heard from Selena, Ryuzaki cited that her father’s appearance was black-eyed and black-haired. It could almost be said to be definite when you got up to here.

“Selena-san’s father is probably a j.a.panese. It seems that he is now busy flying around the world. However, if you head for Selena-san’s country, there may be hints to return to the former world. It seems like so. How is it?”
“To be honest, whichever is fine.”

While the noisy discussion was going on, it was Gofunkawahara (Goblin) who first raised his hand.
Ok.u.mura (Orc) who sat beside him also nodded with his arms folded.

“Even if I return to the former world, my older sister isn’t there anymore. If we can return then we return, but if it’s impossible then that’s also fine. It’s not bad to live here in this world as well.”
“I am of the same opinion debuu.”

Listening to the words of those two, Rin explained to Kyousuke 『Gofunkawahara-kun, his parents pa.s.sed away early in an accident』. And so Gofunkawahara who had just lost his only older sister didn’t have much reason to return to the former world. Ok.u.mura was similar as well. In order to fulfill the last wish of Gofunkawahara’s older sister, he would live with all his might. Whether it was this world or that world didn’t matter at all.

“I am the same.”

Still tinkering with her nails, Akai said. The blood characters emerging in the air read 『Whichever is fine 3 votes』.
Several students then followed suit and raised their hands to 『Whichever is fine』. Kyousuke quietly asked Rin.

“Himemizu, which side are you?”
“I want to go home. It’s been decided.”

Rin’s voice was a bit discouraged.
Certainly, she wanted to return to the former world, there was a definite reason. It wasn’t just about being an Ace Sprinter. Although not saying it out loud, her family environment was good, as expected she had to have quite a lot of lingering feelings.

“I see. That’s right.”
“The pudding I was eating is in the fridge…! It may be thrown away…!”
“Let’s give it up.”

As much as the half-eaten pudding, you could just feel the greedy gluttony of Himemizu Rin.

“I am of course desperate to go home, but I also have my place as Kyousuke’s support.”
“Don’t mind such a thing. I am also going home.”

As the opinion 『Whichever is fine』 was increasing in number, there was another student who raised their hand.

“I will go home.”
