Chapter 5: Attentive Young Man
The party went smoothly and lively, Shirou's presence with Hana had become the main attraction at that time, many nobles approached them but thanks to Shirou's skills and Hana's support. They could handle the nobles who wanted to talk to them.
Throughout the party, Shirou separated himself from his classmates. Shirou actually tried to join his classmates but... well, most of them looked clearly uncomfortable with his presence.
Because he didn't want to ruin the party that was going on, Shirou decided to stay away for a while while secretly paying attention to the condition of his friends.
Being prepared in case any of them experienced difficulties but it all ended up being unnecessary effort, because their personal servants had done their job very well.
After the party is over, the heroes will return home using horse-drawn carriages in a format of six people to one horse-drawn carriage. Thus there will be five horse-drawn carriages, each of which will carry six heroes and one horse-drawn carriage which will only carry four heroes.
And Shirou got the last horse-drawn carriage, it was a horse-drawn carriage carrying four heroes.
"You look really good in that suit, Shirou-kun!" Praise Kaori with her usual cheerfulness.
"You think so?"
"Yes! It looks casual but still gives an elegant impression."
"Thank you Kaori, you look cute in that dress too."
"Ehehe... thank you."
Kaori was one of the passengers in the carriage, she sat right next to Shirou. There were also two other passengers in the carriage, sitting in front of Shirou was Yuka and to her right was Shizuku.
It's actually quite surprising to see Kaori and Shizuku not together with Kouki and Ryutarou.
Then...
"By the way, erm... are you and the prime minister's daughter... dating?" Kaori asked nervously.
"No, we're not dating. Where did you get an idea like that?"
"Well, it can't be helped.. you two looked very harmonious and close. Right, Shizuku-chan? Yuka-chan?" Kaori asked innocently.
"Yes, you do look like a couple, especially since you came together like that." Yuka answered while nodding her head.
"Your clothes also match, and from the way you acted before, it clearly shows the closeness of your relationship." Shizuku answered while smiling seductively.
"Look! Even Shizuku-chan and Yuka-chan, think you're dating!" Kaori said enthusiastically because her opinion received support from Yuka and Shizuku.
Shirou just looked at the three teenage girls with tired eyes.
'Do you think I'm a man who's easy to fall in love with...'
"Did you forget that Hana is the girl who was assigned to be my personal maid? That's why she came with me and wore clothes that matched me. We're just friends, okay. So you don't need to be jealous like that Kaori." Shirou replied, flicking the tip of Kaori's nose.
"I-I'm not jealous! I'm just curious..." Kaori stammered.
"If you're not jealous, why did you stutter when you answered?"
"That's because I was surprised by your question earlier..."
"No, you were clearly jealous earlier."
"No, I'm really not jealous."
"You're clearly lying."
"No! I'm not lying!"
"You lying girl."
"I'm not a lying girl!
"Kaori-chan, this playboy is just teasing you, you know..." Yuka said while pointing at Shirou.
"Eh? Shirou-kun! You've been teasing me!?"
"Of course."
"Why did you do that!?"
"Because it is fun." Shirou answered calmly
"What!" Kaori could only stare at her friend sitting next to her in disbelief.
"Never mind Shirou, stop teasing her like that, poor her..."
"Ok ok, I'll stop teasing her. So please don't punish me, Shizuku Onee-sama." Shirou replied while raising both hands as a sign of surrender.
"Haah... you look like you want to be punished, huh..." Even though she smiled it was clear that Shizuku really didn't like her nickname.
"Ahaha.." The atmosphere in the carriage was filled with laughter from Shirou, Yuka, and Shizuku. Meanwhile, Kaori started to scold Shirou for teasing her.
When they arrived at the mansion, they saw several people who had not yet gone to their rooms and were still in the main hall. They are Aiko, Kouki, and Ryutarou.
Aiko's existence is clear because as a teacher she has to ensure the condition of her students but... the other two people are clearly just going along.
They weren't even class president or vice class president, because those positions had already been filled by Shirou and Shizuku. Then why are they there too?
"Ah, with this, everything has arrived."
"Ah, Ai-chan, have you been waiting for us all this time?" Yuka said.
"Sorry Sensei, for making you wait for us."
"Ehmm... it's okay Sengo-kun, this is part of my job. And Sonobe-san please call me Sensei." Aiko said while shaking her head.
"Thank you Sensei."
"Okay, Ai-chan."
"Haaah..." Aiko could only surrender because many of her students called her Ai-chan and not Sensei.
Meanwhile, not far from them...
"Kaori, Shizuku, you shouldn't get too close to Sengo. I don't want your minds to be damaged by him." Kouki said while glancing sharply at Shirou who was talking to Aiko.
"You... Kouki heard this, you have to cool your head first, Shirou is not what you think" Shizuku answered
"Why are you talking like that Kouki-kun? Shirou-kun is not a bad person." Kaori didn't understand why he was talking like that at all.
'You... I understand, you two are too innocent.' Kouki said in his mind so no one heard him.
"Kouki only wants the best for you guys." Ryutarou added.
"It's okay Ryutarou. Kaori, Shizuku, I will definitely protect you all."
Both Shizuku and Kaori just looked at him with complicated looks.
"Okay everyone, since it's already evening, we better hurry back to our rooms and get some rest. Moreover, tomorrow we are scheduled to do training tomorrow with Meld-san."
After that, they walked together upstairs. Because the men's room was on the third floor, Shirou was now trapped with Kouki who kept glaring at him and Ryutarou, they were trapped in an unpleasant atmosphere due to Kouki's open hostility towards Shirou.
This is made worse by the order of their rooms. The closest room was Ryutarou's room, then Kouki's room, and finally Shirou's room at the end.
Before they parted ways in the hallway to go to their respective rooms..
"Sengo"
Because his name was called, Shirou then turned around to face the perpetrator even though he knew that this would lead to something stupid.
There stood Kouki looking at him with a very serious expression.
"Are you serious about what you said earlier?"
"Yes"
"I see, so this is what you really are like... Sengo, I will prove that you are wrong." After saying that, Kouki immediately entered his room.
"Haah..." Shirou could only sigh because of that.
Shirou then walked back to his room, when he got there he immediately took off his coat and footwear, then fell onto the bed.
"Too many things happened in the rest of the day, haaah... it's giving me a headache." He complained while staring at the ceiling of his room.
First, we were taken to another world using 2nd Magic.
Second, changes occurred in our bodies due to the 3rd Magic.
Third, we are trapped in a situation that requires us to fight.
Fourth, we can now only depend on this kingdom. But unfortunately the king was in the control of the old pope.
Fifth, there is that fool.
Not to mention there is this royal princess...
Haaah...
Tou-san and Kaa-san must be frantically looking for me, and Hikari... that girl must be crying right now.
.
.
.
I will definitely come back.
Maybe it was because he had too many things on his mind that... slowly but surely, darkness began to fill his vision.
...
"Mhh.."
Blink, blink, and blink..
What I see now is the ceiling of a room I don't recognize, clearly this is not my room.
Where am I... ah! That's right, yesterday I and the others were taken to another world.
Tick, tick, tick...
Hm? I see... it seems like yesterday I fell asleep without having time to change my clothes.
Tick, tick, tick...
The sound of the old clock in my room has become the music that accompanies my morning, the hour hand shows 06:07 in the morning.
I'd better take a shower soon.
After making my bed again, I walked to the wardrobe to get the clothes I wore today. Apparently this kingdom really had prepared everything for us, including our clothes.
After choosing a set of clothes, Shirou immediately headed to the bathroom.
...
It seems that many have not woken up from their sleep.
Shirou was currently walking down the hallway on the 3rd floor of the mansion to get to the 1st floor. His condition was very quiet, obviously his friends hadn't woken up yet.
The same thing happened on the 2nd floor.
He was wearing black pants, a white t-shirt, and black sneakers with white soles that carried with him into this world.
When he arrived on the 1st floor, he went straight to the kitchen. Along the way, he was greeted by personal servants who were already busy preparing breakfast for Shirou and the others.
I was wondering if I could help make breakfast.
"Excuse me..." I said to one of the closest maids.
"...! Ah, Shirou-sama! You're awake too!?" Said the girl in complete shock.
Am I surprising her too much...
"If I hadn't woken up, I couldn't be standing here, right?" I said with a light smile.
"R-right... please forgive my impudence!" Said the girl while lowering her head.
This has made all the other servants stop their work and focus on us.
"Erm... Miss, please raise your head. You're giving people the wrong idea."
"Huh? I-I'm sorry!"
Gosh, why is it like this...
"What are you doing guys? Breakfast should be ready in 55 minutes, get back to work now!"
And when I was confused about what to do, another girl came who saved me from this situation.
With the girl's reprimand, the other servants immediately continued their respective duties.
Who is that girl?
That's Hana.
It looked like she had just come out of the kitchen to check what was going on, because she was wearing an apron now.
Hana didn't need to ask what was happening to her other colleagues, she could already guess what was happening just by looking at Shirou who seemed to be having difficulty handling one of her colleagues.
"Melyn, let me take care of it here, you go and continue your work." Hana said calmly to the girl named Melyn.
"Yes! Erm... excuse me Shirou-sama." The girl immediately ran somewhere but it was clear she went to do her job.
"Thank you Hana."
"You're welcome. What's wrong? Do you want breakfast? As you heard earlier, the main breakfast still needs time to be prepared but if you want breakfast now, I can prepare it for you. But it will be simpler than the main breakfast."
"No, seeing you guys busy like this, I just wanted to know if I could help make breakfast? I can cook too, that's why-"
"No."
"Eh..?"
"Shirou, I appreciate your intentions. But I'm sorry, I can't accept your help. This is our job, we've been training for this day for a long time. So let us do our job." Hana said while crossing her arms and giving the clear impression that she would not accept any objections.
"Then let me help clean up."
"No, you can't. Do I need to repeat what I said earlier?"
"But..."
"Enough, haaah... Shirou, I'm not looking down on you but let's be honest. You will only disrupt the work system that we have built for a long time, so I will say this. Let us do what is our obligation as servants, do you understand? "
Looks like I can only give up this time.
"... Yes, I understand." I answered while raising my hands as a signal that you surrender.
"Tell you what, why don't you go to the park in front? Shizuku-sama is there right now."
"Shizuku?"
"Yes, a few minutes before, Shizuku-sama came here. Looks like she's doing her morning exercise outside now."
Ah, if I'm not mistaken, the previous waiter also said that one of my friends was awake, so it was Shizuku huh..
"Okay, thanks for the information."
"Um." After receiving a nod from Hana I immediately went forward to do morning exercise too.
Yes, there's no harm in warming up before taking part in the training scheduled for us today.
Arriving outside the mansion, I could see Shizuku doing morning exercises in the garden in the front yard of the mansion.
She wore black pants, a gray t-shirt, black sneakers with white soles, and as usual he tied her hair in a ponytail.
Step, step, step..
It seemed that she heard my footsteps on the well-maintained garden grass. So, she stopped and turned to look at me
"Mm? Shirou, no way... you're up so early?" She said, making an expression that said dhe had seen something extraordinary.
"Is it that strange to see me awake so early?" I then started my own warm-up.
"Well... the thing is, even though it's not as bad as Nagumo, you often come late to school. So it's only natural that I was surprised to see you this early." Shizuku answered, then warmed up again.
"That's because I have to work part time until late at night."
"I'm curious, what exactly is your part-time job?"
While bending my knees, I answered her.
"Nothing special, just a small cafe in the corner of town".
"Well I think that's enough. Hey Shizuku, I'm going for a jogging around the complex, want to come along?"
"Of course"
Without thinking, I accepted Shirou's invitation to go jogging with him.
Because the mansion where we live is still in the palace complex, our jogging route is clearly the area around the palace.
Along the way we could see many soldiers patrolling around the palace, we also saw several servants carrying several wooden boxes.
I think it's a food ingredient, maybe?
Despite their current condition, it was impossible for Shirou and Shizuku not to be enchanted by the beauty and grandeur of the palace complex. While running along the neatly laid brick path, they ran up to the protective wall that separated the palace complex from the noble complex.
Arriving at the top of the colossal wall, I couldn't help but feel amazed by what was in front of me.
I could see many buildings with various shapes, from the buildings in the noble complex, to the two complexes below which were made for the general public. It all looked extraordinary with the morning sunshine and cool air typical of the highlands.
"How beautiful..."
"Yes, I agree with you. It is indeed beautiful."
This view is like another world to me.
... Ah..! That's right, right now I'm in another world.
Silence enveloped them but it was purely because they were enjoying the sight before their eyes.
Or that's what the best case scenario looks like.
"Haah..." Shizuku sighed with a sigh, the admiration that filled her heart earlier was now replaced with another feeling. As time went by, even if it was a matter of seconds, at that moment her head began to lower slightly, her eyes looked at the view in front of her but her mind received a different view, and a smile was clearly being forced.
This is all too unreal for me, soon we will even have to go to the battlefield...
If we win our wish to go home will be granted.
But..
Is winning the war our only way home...?
What.. we can really go back to our world..?
"We weren't chosen because we met the requirements to be the heroes who will save Tortus, Kouki. We were just a group of people randomly chosen to take part in a game of gods called the war of demons against humans."
"If you want to go to war, then that means you have to be ready to get your hands dirty with blood, you have to be ready to injure your enemy with your weapon, you have to be ready to take the life of your enemy , you have to be ready to see your enemy die, you have to be ready to be injured by your enemy's weapon, you must be prepared to see your friend die, you must be prepared when you receive pain, you must be prepared to die. "
If we join this war... we have to hurt our enemies, we also have to be ready to be hurt.
If we are in this war, we must.. we must kill our enemies..
Can we do that?
Killing like that...
Slowly but surely the girl's shoulders began to shake.
Tou-san..., Kaa-san...
It was only a matter of time before the dam of tears burst.
And...
"You know, there's no harm in crying."
Hah?
"If you don't let out your sadness now, it will only make you suffer more."
He said all that but he didn't look at me at all, his gaze looked straight ahead.
"... I'm fine."
"Lie."
"I didn't LIE, I'm r-really okay."
To prove my words, I gave my best smile.
He then turned to look at me in annoyance.
Why are you looking at me like that?
Don't look at me like that?
Stop-
"If you're okay, then why do your tears keep flowing out like that?"
Eh?
"Shizuku, you can cry, no one will blame you for crying, no one will make fun of you for crying, no one will laugh at you for crying."
"I.. I.."
Ah why these tears won't stop.
"Remember Shizuku, as a Yaegashi you have to be a strong girl. When other people retreat, you have to move forward. When other people give up, you have to fight. When other people cry, you have to be strong. A Yaegashi can't be weak."
..!
A warm hand landed on her head. Slowly, the hand then began to gently stroke her black hair.
The girl didn't know where to look now, she didn't want to see those pair of golden brown eyes. She started clutching the bottom of her t-shirt with both hands which started to shake.
What am I doing, a Yaegashi can't cry..
"It's okay, you can cry in front of me." The hand never stopped stroking her hair.
The girl finally gave up and started crying, she tried to cover her face with both hands, maybe it was because she didn't want to be seen crying by the person in front of her.
"It's okay.."
The young man in front of her never stopped stroking her hair, he remained patiently standing while stroking the girl's head until she finished crying.
Their way home was on foot, which was filled with awkwardness after that moment on the wall.
But the reality is not like that
"D-don't make fun of me!"
"Haha... sorry, it's just quite funny to see Shizuku Onee-sama, who is so admired by many fans, crying like a child."
"Shirou!!! Stop making fun of me!!"
Now the girl, her face very red, was running after the red-haired young man who had been taunting her for a long time.
When they were close to the mansion they stopped their game of chasing.
And walk side by side like nothing happened
"Even though you said no one would make fun of me for crying, you actually made fun of me yourself."
"Sorry, sorry... so stop frowning like that, okay?"
"Hn, you lying man."
Even though Shizuku always glared at him and kept nagging him.
Shirou just continued to smile while listening to the girl's chatter.
And when they arrived at the mansion, they went straight to the dining room and it seemed they arrived on time because all their friends and their sensei were queuing to get breakfast which was laid out buffet style.
Shirou and Shizuku then joined the queue to get their breakfast.
Ok, not everyone is there, there is one person missing.
No, it wasn't Hajime. He is currently standing at the back of the queue.
Then who is it?
It is ...
Kouki
After receiving information from one of the guards who said that Shizuku was going with Shirou, Kouki immediately went to look for her on the pretext of going jogging too but his search was fruitless.
...
Training is carried out in one of the fields in the military complex. This complex is quite unique because it is located between the noble complex and the palace complex.
When they got there, Shizuku and the others were told to do basic warm-up movements. Then after that they were distributed a silver plate which was 12 cm long and 7 cm wide. On one side was a circle made from the ancient characters of this world.
They were also given a needle for who knows what purpose.
"Did you guys get your plates?"
The person who spoke was the captain knight, Meld Loggins. A black-haired man who had a tall and large body, wearing a knight's uniform that he was certainly very proud of, a sheathed sword tied to his waist, his robe fluttering in the mountain breeze adding to his charisma as a knight captain.
"We call this a status plate. As the name suggests, this plate will contain your status, such as name, age, strength parameters and so on. Therefore this can also be an identity card, so keep this carefully. Do you understand? "
"Yes!"
"Good. I'm glad to hear that." He said with a smile.
Meld-san himself is a friendly person even though he is a knight captain.
"You will see that one side of the plate has a magic circle. Use the needle who has been given to prick your finger and drip some blood onto the circle. It will identify you as the owner of the plate. Then, if you say 'OpenStatus', you will see your current statistics displayed on the plate. Oh, and don't bother asking how it works. I don't know, because this is an artifact left behind from ancient times." Meld-san explained with a smile.
"Artifact?" Kouki asked, looking like he was shocked after hearing that unusual word.
"Artifacts refer to magical items so powerful that we no longer have the technology to produce them. It is said that they were created when the age of the gods was still in progress. The status plates you hold are all artifacts from that era as well, but they are the only artifacts that are still widely used today. Most other artifacts are coveted national treasures, but these plates are so numerous that the average citizen also owns them. This is very helps because they identify a person's identity because this cannot be faked."
So this thing is a remnant from an ancient civilization... to think that such a system has existed since ancient times, magic is truly incredible.
"Uuu.. I don't like pain... ouch" I couldn't help but smile seeing Kaori who lost her enthusiasm because she had to prick her finger with a needle. Well no normal person would like pain.
I slowly pricked one of my thumbs using a needle, suddenly a stinging pain appeared along with blood starting to come out of the wound.
I then followed what the others did and smeared my blood on the magic circle.
Instantly the magic circle on the plate began to glow, then began to spread and cover the entire surface of the plate.
As the light disappeared, Shizuku was shocked by the changes that occurred to her status plate.
Perhaps seeing our surprise, Meld-san explained the function of this status plate again.
"As you can see, once you smear your blood inside the magic circle, the plate will change color. This color is the color of your mana, each person will have-a different color. That's why it's very useful to be identity card because it is impossible to fake it."
"Oh so this is what color mine looks like."
Then I saw what color the other's status plates were, Nagumo's was sky blue, Ai-chan's was pink, Nana's was whitish blue, and Shirou...still silver?
"Shizuku-chan, what color is your status plate?" My attention was diverted because of Kaori.
"Shizuku-chan, your status plate color is lapiz lazuli, it really suits you..." Kaori's status plate color is very suitable for a feminine girl like her, it's lavender.
"Yeah, and I'm not surprised by the color on your status plate Kaori."
"Really?" As usual, my friend is slow to understand simple things like this.
"Yes" I focused back on my status plate, there was also data about me.
Name: Shizuku Yaegashi
Gender: Female
Age: 17
Levels: 1
Job: Swordsmaster
Strength: 35
Vitality: 46
Agility: 100
Magi: 18
Magic Defense: 18
Resistance: 12
Skills:
- Swordmanship
- Ground Contraction
- Foresight
- Physical Perception
- Hidden Blow
- Language Comprehension
"I realize you're all impressed, but don't forget to check your stats, understand?" Captain Meld smiled wryly as he reminded the others.
It seems like a lot of my friends know what it says on their status plates.
"Everyone knows your stats well? Well, let me explain from above. First, we have levels. See? That number grows as your other stats grow. The highest level is 100, that's the limit for a human. In other words, The current level shows how much full potential they have realized. Passing level 100 means unlocking all your hidden potential. Very few people manage to exceed level 100." Meld-san explained to us.
"What is needed to increase your stats is by practicing, you can also increase your stats in a short period of time using magic items and sorcery. Apart from that, those with high magic stats will grow faster than others. No one knows for sure why? but we assume it's because magic helps the growth of other stats. Later you all can choose equipment that suits your individual stats. The items in our treasury will be yours, so take them! You are the heroes who will save our kingdom!"
"Next, did you all see the little box that says job? Simply put, it refers to your natural abilities. It is directly linked to the skills box at the bottom, and your job determines the types of skills you can learn. Only a few people have jobs. Jobs are divided into combat and non-combat sections. Combat jobs are very rare. Only one in a thousand, or ten thousand depending on the job. Non-combat jobs are technically rare too, but... well, one in every hundred people has them. Actually, some of them in fact it's common enough that one in ten people have one. There are many people who have non-combat production related jobs."
Well... I can understand why I got the job as a swordsmaster.
"Next... well, your stats are just as they say. The average for most stats at level 1 is around 10. But you're all heroes, so you must have stats much higher than that! Gosh, I'm so jealous! Oh yeah, I want you to come here one by one to report your statistics to me. Apart from registering your data, this is also so that we can determine what kind of training we should give you. So... who wants to go first!?" Meld-san ended his speech energetically.
"Meld-san! I'll go first!"
"Oh, of course!"
As I thought, Kouki would be the first to advance.
Meld-san then started reading the data on Kouki's statistics plate out loud, so that the soldier in charge of recording our data could hear and of course so that everyone here could hear it too.
Apparently my childhood friend's statistics are extraordinary, all his statistics are 100. Plus he has a job as a Hero with many skills.
"Wow, you're truly a hero. You already have stats in the triple digits at level 1! And most people usually only get two or three skills! You're way beyond normal. What a powerful hero!"
"Well, you know why… ahaha…" Kouki blushed and scratched his head when Meld-san praised him.
I'm happy because my childhood friend has good statistics but... I'm also worried, because this could make him even bigger.
After that one by one my other friends started reporting their statistics, and of course me too, and even though our statistics weren't as great as Kouki's. It was still considered extraordinary and Meld-san always gave praise and complaints because of this injustice. Honestly it's quite funny.
Everything was going smoothly until that finally changed when it came time for the final three.
"Nagumo-kun..." Beside me, Kaori, could only stare at Nagumo sadly because he had the same statistics as the average statistics of level 1 people in the world plus he got a non-combat job.
"Hey Nagumo. Don't tell me that you actually got a non-combat job? How is a blacksmith going to fight monsters!? Hey, Meld, is Synergist or something a rare job?"
Oh no, please not this again.
Hiyama and his group started approaching Nagumo and it was clear they were going to make fun of him.
"I don't know. You'll never know until you try."
Hearing that, Hiyama and his group.. no, the majority of my classmates were laughing at him right now.
"Bwahahaha... what the hell are you saying, geez! You're really average! Actually, really average 10, so I'm sure there's still a baby out there who's stronger than you! Hyahahaha, you've got to be kidding me! This guy won't even survive the last ten minutes! He'll die so quickly that even you won't be able to use him as a meat shield!"
"Enough"
Luckily Shirou immediately intervened, ..! ah... why do you have those eyes again...? You shouldn't have eyes like that...
Hiyama and his group were now starting to get scared because of Shirou's presence.
Everyone's focus was now on them. Not only Shirou tried to come to help Hajime but Aiko also came there after seeing the bullying happening before her eyes.
"Hiyama, what you said was too much."
"What Sengo-kun said is true, Hiyama-kun, you can't insult Nagumo-kun like that! Quickly apologize!"
"What your teacher said is correct, you are comrades in arms therefore you should not insult each other like that." Meld also approached to stop the insulting action.
"Nagumo-kun, are you okay?"
"I-I'm okay Shirasaki-san."
I followed Kaori who ran towards Nagumo while glaring at Hiyama and his group.
Even though he had been reprimanded by Shirou, Ai-chan, and Meld-san, it seemed Hiyama didn't want to give up.
"But but... he's really useless! You also heard what Meld read earlier, right? He only has a non-combat job with very small statistics! It's clear that Na-Nagumo won't be able to help us win the war later ! He's just a worthless weakling!"
"Who are you? You can easily say that non-combat jobs can't fight?"
"But that explains it!? That's why it's called a non-combat job."
"So you think that you are more useful, more powerful because you have a combat job as a Light Warrior?"
"Of course!"
"If you think so, how about we fight?"
"Eh?"
"You and me, fight here NOW!"
"... W-what, but why..." He said shakily.
"You don't need to be scared like that, after all I don't even have a job?"
Hah? Shirou? What does it mean?
Shirou then handed his status plate to Meld-san and Meld-san could only gape after seeing it.
What? What was written there, that a veteran knight captain like Meld-san could make such an expression?
"Meld-san please read my statistics."
"Huh? ... Okay, Shirou Sengo, male, 17 years old, level 1, strength 10, vitality 10, agility 10, magic 10, magic defense 10, resistance 10, skill: Language Comprehension." Meld-san finished completing Shirou's statistics.
But it is not possible! How can someone like Shirou not have a job at all? He should be able to get a job as an Archer... if someone like him has such low stats then how can my stats be higher than his?
"You've heard what Meld-san read, right? So there's no reason to be afraid of fighting me. Or are you afraid of facing me? A person who doesn't even have a job and is weaker than a baby?"
"Sengo-kun, stop that! Hey listen to your sensei!"
"Sorry Sensei, but this time I won't obey your orders. How about Hiyama, what's your answer?"
"Okay, I accept your challenge! And I will defeat you!" He said as he walked closer to Shirou.
"Hey, you guys stop! I forbid you from each other-"
Before Aiko could finish her sentence Shirou had already moved and landed his fist right on Daisuke's stomach, the blow was so strong that it made Daisuke immediately kneel while holding his stomach and made him throw his breakfast onto the ground.
"Hiyama-kun!" Aiko immediately rushed towards her student who was in pain.
Shirou..
"Sengo! Why did you hit him! Didn't he already agree to fight against you! Why did you hit him before the fight even started!!"
"Why are you angry? My fight with Hiyama had started the moment he agreed to my offer." He just turned around to face Kouki and said it all very casually.
"W-what... that's ridiculous! You didn't even say that earlier! What you did was cheating!!"
Kouki... it's bad if this doesn't stop, it's just a matter of time before Kouki will attack Shirou.
Why didn't Meld-san stop this immediately!?
"Are you sane? On the battlefield you must always be ready whenever and wherever. Do you think your enemy will give you time to prepare? Your thinking is truly ridiculous.
"Sengo!!!! Hn? Shizuku don't get in my way!"
As I expected Kouki finally decided to attack Shirou, so I immediately stood in front of him to prevent him from embarrassing himself.
"Come to your senses, idiot! Don't make this problem even bigger!" It seems like my reprimand had a huge effect on him
"What? Shizuku.. I-"
"Okay, that's enough for you guys! You are comrades in arms, it's not appropriate for you to fight each other like this! But I agree with what Shirou said, you must always be ready because the enemy will never give you time to prepare." He said while nodding his head.
Luckily Meld-san finally stepped in to stop the commotion.
"Sengo-kun!"
"Ouch ouch... Sensei please stop pulling my ears ouch ouch..."
"Why are you hitting your own classmate!? You guys are classmates..."
...
"Haaah... Today was very tiring." I muttered as I fell onto my bed after finishing changing into the plain white nightgown that had been prepared for me by Nia.
Too many things happened throughout the day.
An introduction to status plates, then the incident
After the incident, Hiyama was taken by several soldiers for treatment. And after being scolded severely by Ai-chan, Shirou was finally free, even though his ears turned red.
Even though there was an incident, our program today continued, well... basically it was just an introduction to the training location and the instructors who will train us starting tomorrow.
After that we were free to do whatever we wanted until finally night fell.
Throughout the day, Shirou had kept his distance from the others. But he wasn't alone, around him were Nana, Yuka, Taeko, and Hajime? It seemed like Hajime was a new member of Shirou's group.
Then my childhood friend, Kouki. He was in a bad mood. That's why I'm always near him to prevent him from doing stupid things.
To be honest, I myself am not at all angry with Shirou's actions. On the contrary, I actually think that what Shirou did was the right thing to do, Hiyama had indeed gone too far and had to be given a stern warning, and Shirou was the one who took on the task.
What Shirou said is also true, we must always be ready because our enemies will not give us time to prepare.
Besides... I'm still confused. How could he not have any job? Even his stats were the same as an average level 1 person from this world... but he could beat Hiyama with just one punch...
And I had a feeling that Kouki would have suffered the same fate as Hiyama if I hadn't stopped him at that time.
And long before all that...
I moved my hand to the top of my head, where his warm hand had once caressed me.
I didn't think that I would cry again... but this makes me feel much more relieved now.
Even though he can be very cold, in the end he is still a friendly Shirou who always pays attention to the people around him.
"Hwaah... I think it's time to sleep."
Tou-san.. Kaa-san..
I will definitely go home...
Hey everyone, we meet again in the new chapter of Fate Lost Class!!!!
Let's get straight to the discussion, OK!!!
This chapter is divided into four parts!!
1. First, there is Shirou's interaction with 2 main heroines and 1 side heroine from Airfureta after his surprising appearance at the party with Hana.
2. Second, we are presented with the interaction between Shirou and Shizuku. Ah!! I wish I could share this part visually. but oh well. And here I am making Shizuku cry because it's normal!!!
Come on!! Just imagine!!
A normal high school girl is kidnapped to another world, she is immediately told to go to war, she is far from her family, and she is told that the way to return to her world is to win the war.
It is very normal for a girl to cry every night.
Hm? What songs am I listening to while writing this? That's the song Goodbye from Air Supply.
3. The third part was the introduction of status plates which ended in an incident!!!
Well, the reason why Shirou doesn't have a job and his stats are low is because... that's material for a future chapter!!! Hahahahaha...
4. In the fourth part, we see Shizuku explaining the events of the rest of the day.
.
Well, it's time to respond to some of your comments!!!
1. Shirou Sengo is the reincarnation of Shirou Emiya (my version), they are the same but also different.
Shirou Emiya(my version) has lived in Misaki City since Kiritsugu's death. Please imagine who he lives with, even though the clues I have scattered in my three crossover fanfics are very clear about who he lives with.
2. No god characters from PHH will appear!! Especially ORT, why would I include such a strong character...
3. Will Counter Guardian EMIYA appear? If you mean directly then the answer is NO but if you mean indirectly (flashback from Shirou Emiya's memory fragments (my version)) then the answer is very POSSIBLE.
4. The audience character as I appeared in chapter 2, is just a spectator so there is no such thing as pulling the strings from behind the screen.
They will also play a role in providing pieces of information for the Nasuverse fanfic that I am writing, when they are reminiscing about Shirou Emiya's past (my version)
These stories each stand alone but complement each other and are interconnected.
5. I hope to provide visuals of Hana's character but I don't have a laptop or computer so I can't make visuals.
So I did a search on pixiv!!! And managed to find one that was most similar to the one in my imagination!! This is very similar!!!
