Isekai Shoukan chapter 38: Hero side 7
Half a year passed since we were summoned――――――
And since then we received sword instruction from Roy who is Knight leader and our instructor, were taught magic by a suspicious obasan who has a jewel attached to her body and we learned martial arts.
I think that our power is plentiful but we didn't go to a dungeon yet.
I, Reiya(Shippu) and Shikoku stroll frequently in the outskirt of the castle to hunt a demon many times after saying something to the guards of the castle.
Our motivation is different from some heroes because we longed for a fantasy world with magic. Midou-senpai who has the hero title was about lvl 30, while I am level 43. Among us heroes, there are already some differences in our abilities. This is the seriousness of an Otaku.
During this half year, I confirmed the status of my classmates by appraisal once a month and continued the act to write it in my notebook, but recently there are students who also began to use appraisal, so they think to also make an opportunity for status investigation.
On the first day we were summoned we received a status plate from Dijea. The status plate was an item that recorded the status of the person who uses it. And because it's for future plans, we handed our status plates to Dijea-san and Roy once.
At that time, Dijea saw the skills of Shikoku and because he wasn't able to use them, she declared that he is a good for nothing. By that result, the soldiers in the castle looked coldly at Shikoku since that day.
Not knowing the wonderfulness of alchemy......that princess is incompetent. And to make a fool of Shikoku......I can’t help him, even if he is in a pinch.
Me and Reiya are the only ones who haven’t looked down on Shikoku who became depressed!! After we said some words to cheer him up, we took him outside of the castle to hunt demons every day after training was over.
It continued so for half a year, but Shikoku wasn't able to use magic until then.
On a day, I and Reiya finished preparing for the next demon hunting, we wanted to invite Shikoku again.
“Hey, Shikoku!! Let's go quickly!! I knew for a long time now that the princess and the maids of our rooms doubted us when we went outside 10 days ago!! Time is limited, so hurry!!"
We three Otakus went out of the castle approximately ten days ago to hunt a demon as usual, but this day was different from usual and a huge demon who has 2 sprouted horns which have not been seen before was wandering the grassland outside the castle.
Training was always from morning to noon and free time was respectively at the subsequent time. We hunt demons using our free time, but the princess prohibited the battle with the demons for the time being. So without running into somebody outside, Shikoku wasn't judged when we were outside and he liked the hunting time.
We leave the castle to hunt from noon and come back before the dinner, though we are alive because we had a hard fight with that huge demon on that day, we returned really late and the princess bombarded us with questions.
After that, we paid attention with the time to return.
“Naa, Tokoyami, Shippuu. As expected, can't I use magic now? Isn’t it half a year already? Normally you may be able to use it......so I borrowed the cane of that suspicious Oba-san but it still didn't work......”
The tone of Shikoku was awfully feeble.
“Hey, Shikoku. Do you give up now!? It’s too soon to give up. Do your best a little more......it will be miserable not to be able to use it during half a year and to give up!!"
When Reiya said so, Shikoku bit at his underlip momentarily and declared with a shaking and angry voice.
“!!? ......Haa......You who can use magic you don't understand what I’m feeling. My motivation is already at its limit!! The guys of the castle treat me as a fool, And our classmates demonstrated their magic in an ostentatious way!! Even if I hunt for a book, there is no knowledge on how to use alchemy and even if I think I'll make a golem, I don't know how to do it at all!! I'm already tired......leave me alone for today......”
Shikoku who shouted was going to separate from us at the same time after he finish. Reiya who saw Shikoku´s tired appearance is distrain tried to chase after him, but I grasped his shoulder to stop him.
“Shippu, let Shikoku alone for a while. That fellow wants to worry too. Stress might surely only increase even more if we who could use magic encouraged him who can't use magic. Let's withdraw quietly now."
Somehow I had a bad feeling, but I thought that it wasn't good to stop him forcibly, so I stopped Reiya and we went hunting alone.
――――On that day Shikoku disappeared from our group.
◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆
At the night of the day Shikoku left the castle, I invited Reiya to my room and we talked on the floor while sitting cross-legged.
"Shippuu, what do you think of Shikoku? It was caused by the people of this castle and the fact he can't use magic that Shikoku left, but I feel like having been responsible for his behavior and action. A magic skill might appear if you improve, but I said a shallow thought to Shikoku......"
I began to talk while frowning difficultly.
"Our remark might not surely torment that fellow......Perpetual darkness, I think that your thought was not wrong. Actually, even if there are few expressions of the jet black when I hunt a demon, It was fine from time to be in the castle. There is no intention which blames that you detained me at that time. Anyhow some time is in the state now, and use."
He clapped my back to cheer me up because I looked down. I saw Reiya and began to talk while laughing thin.
"It will be easy if you tell a lie....... Haa......That feces princess doesn't give her permission to run after utterly dark......I think that we can win if we have a little more time......because we are weak we can't go out of the castle, so shall we search the library? There are a lot of magic books and alchemy books and maybe it will keep us busy. When we leave the castle, shall I apologize to jet black with a good souvenir?"
“That’s right......Okay, then we go out secretly and buy some drinks!! Well let's go out immediately and if we return quickly, it's no problem!! I’m a guy who does what he wants so far as long as it remain a secret. Therefore I can't go to sleep with this condition now."
Reiya said so and also stood up, extended both hands to the top and stretched himself.
"OK, then, do we go!! .........W-what!? My money!! Where is it!? My 10 gold coins disappeared!! What? Whaatt!?”
I stood up and went to the closed that was open to take my bag out and as soon as I got it and I opened it to look for my money I saw that it was empty.
The life in a different world without Shikoku has started.
