After they've been summoned, they all ended up in a room to spend the night.

One person was completely silent though. He didn't talk unless spoken to, and was completely ignored by everyone, basically invisible…except his fellow heroes noticed him.

Motoyasu realizes first, "Oh right…" as he turns to the raven-haired man with green eyes, wearing a green jersey, "I forgot you were there… What's your name?"

"Naofumi Iwatani," he says.

Ren, Itsuki, and Motoyasu try to introduce themselves, but Naofumi interrupts, "I already know who you are. I'm quiet, not deaf."

They didn't think much of that as they still talked about how they got summoned.

"I saved my friend from a serial killer. I got stabbed and bled out though," Ren shrugs.

"Dang…" Itsuki grimaces, "I just got hit by a trunk on the way to cram school."

"That's so cliché…" Motoyasu sighs.

"You look like the type that would two-time girls…" Ren glances.

"Haha…" Motoyasu laughs sheepishly, "I kind of did. They both stabbed me to death…and they might've killed themselves trying to follow me into the afterlife."

"…" 'Damn…' they all think.

"What about you, Naofumi-san?" Itsuki asks, a bit curious.

"…" After a moment's hesitation, Naofumi sighs, just deciding to come right out and say it, "I killed myself."

The others all flinched in shock, an awkward silence permeating the room.

Naofumi continues, "But since I'm here…I might as well find a reason to live…even if it's just a trivial reason."

"How did you…uh…" Itsuki cautiously asks for some specifics.

"Pill overdose," Naofumi answers before yawning, "Now, I'm going to sleep. Goodnight."

"Goodnight," Itsuki and Motoyasu reply as Ren stayed silent.


After Naofumi went to bed in an adjacent room, they others talked about Naofumi behind his back.

"This world needs all of us, right? So…" Motoyasu frowns in concern.

"We need to keep an eye on Naofumi…make sure he doesn't kill himself again," Ren concludes.

"Yeah…" Itsuki agrees.

Then, they discuss guarding Naofumi whenever they can before going to sleep.


When they coincidentally meet in an inn the next night, Motoyasu had asked which room Naofumi was in.

"Why are you here? Making sure I don't kill myself?" Naofumi asks when Motoyasu barged into his room.

"Uh…would you be offended if I said yes?" Motoyasu nervously asks.

"…" Naofumi shrugs, "Do whatever you want," before curling up in bed, quickly going to sleep.

Motoyasu stands guard all night…or at least until he fell asleep.

The next morning, some guards barge in, immediately arresting Naofumi as Motoyasu follows behind.


During the trial…

Myne accused Naofumi just like usual.

Naofumi says, "I didn't do it. Besides, I'm not interested in other people, let alone girls."

"You got drunk last night!" the bitch cries.

Naofumi laughs, "I did try to kill myself via alcohol poisoning once…but it didn't work. I never even got drunk," before he frowns, "And if you try to accuse me again…I will kill myself. Again," he warns.

The other heroes stand by Naofumi, including Motoyasu.

"I object. I was guarding Naofumi that night…all night just in case he tried to kill himself. He was asleep all night," Motoyasu states.

The trial ends with Naofumi not being guilty.


The heroes all agree to travel with Naofumi, despite the system's warning. They all yell at each other about strengthening methods though.

Naofumi sighs, trying all of them, "Oh…Guys…" but they're all still yelling, "Guys…GUYS!"

"WHAT?!"

"I tried all of those methods…they all worked," Naofumi explains then sighs, "I think this system is more complicated then we thought…"

"Then…if they all work, we can use all of them?" Motoyasu asks.

"Yeah…" Naofumi nods then tapped his chin, "Maybe if we deny that stupid rule of not gaining any experience together…"

"We might actually be able to gain experience together," Ren finishes his line of thought.

"Exactly," Naofumi smiles.

The others stare since they've never seen Naofumi smile until now… before dragging and shoving Naofumi forward to their new adventure as they smile.


When Naofumi meets L'Arc at Cal Mira… He's actually interested in him. Naofumi likes him for some reason.

But when L'Arc betrays him…he understands. Naofumi doesn't mind…

"If you want to kill me…then do it," Naofumi says as he pulls L'Arc's scythe towards his person, "Just one last request…"

L'Arc raises an eyebrow, "What is it?"

Naofumi gestures for him to come closer. When L'Arc leans in, Naofumi pulls him into a chastise kiss on the lips.

"Thank you," Naofumi smiles, completely prepared to die right then and there.

But L'Arc's grip on his scythe trembles… He…can't do it! So he knocks out Naofumi, holding him in his arms before taking Naofumi to his world, kidnapping him.


"Why didn't you kill me?" Naofumi blinks.

"Simply…because I like you," L'Arc admits.

Naofumi smiles, "I like you too."

L'Arc beams, but Naofumi asks, "Can we try to save both our worlds now?"

"Of course," L'Arc agrees.
