Returned from Another World, Earth Turned Out to Be Quite the Fantasy Too. Also, Losing Heroines, Stop Looking This Way. - V3 Chapter 09

Chapter 09: “Did you come to meet the victim?” ②

Natsuki Yura, using magic to open the window of his junior hero, Yusuke Sado’s room from the roof, flashed a big smile.

“Hellooo!”

“GYAAAAAAAAHHHH!”

“Why are you screaming like that!? I’m trying to be quiet for your family and neighbors!”

“It’s because this situation is scary!”

Nanamori smacked Natsuki on the head with a leather shoe he had taken off.

“Eh? Really? I don’t watch horror stuff. I mean, it just makes me laugh.”

“…What a boring kid! No, that’s not it. Your entrance scared him too much! Also, I’m using a technique to divert everyone’s attention so they won’t notice, so there was no problem from the start!”

“You should have said that first.”

“You didn’t ask!”

Watching Natsuki and Senju bicker loudly, Yusuke, wide-eyed, tentatively spoke up.

“Um, who are you?”

“Oh, you’re listening? Are you okay?”

“Ah, yes. I’m fine, but this is real, right?”

“Should I do something painful? Like cutting the old man behind me in half, or slicing him into three?”

“Why would I be the one to suffer!?”

“No, it’s okay. Um, come in?”

Yusuke was probably still confused.

He let the middle schooler and the young man into his room without a second thought.

Or maybe he had given up on whatever was about to happen.

“Sorry, my room’s a mess. I’ve been holed up in here for a while.”

“No worries at all. The other world must have been much dirtier and smellier, right? What’s with that place? Even if you spray perfume to cover the stink, the perfume smells bad too. It’s like adding stink to stink—what’s the point?”

“I know! It’s like you can’t breathe when you’re near it—huh?”

Natsuki, who had just taken off his sneakers and sat down on a chair in Yusuke’s room, and Nanamori, leaning against the window with his arms crossed, caught Yusuke’s surprised gaze.

“Could it be…”

“As you guessed. My name is Natsuki Yura. I was the one who got summoned as a hero to that other world and went on a rampage there! Nice to meet you!”

“Just so you know, I haven’t had such fun experiences. I’m Senju Nanamori.”

Yusuke shivered.

Then, slowly reached out his hand towards Natsuki.

“Handshake?”

Ignoring the boy who was offering his hand, he grabbed him by the shirt and shook him.

“You’re the one, that hero!? Because of you, I… I…”

“Whoa, hold on, I do feel for you, but it’s not my fault! It’s the fault of those jerks in the other world, not me! I’m a victim too!”

“At least you could’ve wiped out the demons!”

“I did defeat the Demon Lord and even killed the evil deity controlling him from behind.”

“Then you should have properly finished off the Demon Lord too!”

“Well, it’s not that simple. The Demon Lord wasn’t actually that bad, and I hesitated because I had met his child before. I planned to kill him but he turned out to be tougher than expected, so I let him be. Honestly, it doesn’t really affect me if the other world is ruled by demons.”

“And all that trouble fell on me!”

“Sorry about that.”

“Don’t mess with meee!”

Natsuki thought that even if he had killed the Demon Lord, the demon army’s momentum wouldn’t have stopped. 

After all, Natsuki’s goal was “to return home,” not to bring peace to the other world. 

Whether the Demon Lord was dead or alive didn’t matter to him.

Even if the Demon Lord had died, another demon would have taken his place and continued fighting humans. 

That’s just how much the humans of that world are hated by the demons.

(But then again, that has nothing to do with this guy, nor does it with me. Man, people from that other world really can’t handle anything on their own.)

Senju tried to calm down a furious Yusuke, but Natsuki gestured for him to stop with his hand. 

Yusuke probably just needed to vent his anger somewhere. 

It must have been tough not having anyone to talk to, and not even being sure if he had really gone to another world. 

Natsuki felt enough sympathy for Yusuke, who was in the same situation, to let him lash out.

“That world was shit.” 

Yusuke ranted, spewing curses about it, while Senju was taken aback.

(Anyway, this guy really didn’t get along with that old man. Who was that self-proclaimed sage, anyway?)

It took fifteen minutes for Yusuke to calm down.

〜〜Afterword〜〜

It’s understandable that Yusuke took his frustrations out on Natsuki. 

I hope you’ll watch over him as he becomes calmer in the next episode!
