Returned from Another World, Earth Turned Out to Be Quite the Fantasy Too. Also, Losing Heroines, Stop Looking This Way. - V3 Chapter 43

Chapter 43: “Looking Forward to Tomorrow, Aren’t We?”

“Alright! Well, I’d like to say let’s have an afterparty… but I’m exhausted. Let’s save it for tomorrow and head home for now.”

“You’re really set on having an afterparty, huh? Well, whatever.”

Senju teased Natsuki, who was determined to celebrate.

“No, no, afterparties are important! Let’s do it on that old man’s dime!”

“—You mean me!?”

“Of course it’s you! You’re the one who caused all this trouble by going after poor Ginko-chan, which led to that mother-con god showing up and causing Natsuki-kun so much trouble! And to top it all off, you ended up with two divine swords! So lucky!”

“…I admit I regret targeting you, but you already have two special swords yourself! Having a demonic sword from another world is just as unfair!”

“Hah! Demonic Sword Taro and Spirit Sword Hanako are mine, fair and square! Besides, if you couldn’t properly bond with Hanako while possessing it, that’s your fault!”

“Ugh… Spirit swords are tricky! Even my father and grandfather couldn’t form a contract with one! Just being able to wield them is impressive!”

“Well, I have been recognized as a true wielder!”

“…Grrr…”

“Wow, that’s the first time I’ve ever heard someone actually say ‘grrr’ in real life!”

“Knock it off!”

Koume delivered a sharp chop to Ginko’s head, putting an end to her teasing of Seishiro.

“Ouch! Um… Koume-san, I bit my tongue.”

“Are you trying to push him back into darkness with your teasing!? I’m done with dealing with any more trouble! I just want to get home, take a bath, and have a drink!”

“Speaking of drinks, I did ruin your beer. I apologize for that. I’ll compensate you.”

Seishiro, remembering the ruined beer, pulled out a 5,000 yen bill from his wallet and handed it to Koume.

“…No way.”

“Keep the change.”

“See, Ginko? Your teacher is an honorable man! From now on, show him some respect!”

“You booze angel! You’re way too easy!”

As Ginko and Koume started bickering loudly, Seishiro turned away and bowed his head to Natsuki.

“I’m truly sorry for everything that happened. On top of that, my actions led to you fighting Susanoo-no-Mikoto… I really apologize.”

“Don’t worry about it. That mother-con was no big deal.”

“…You almost died, though.”

“I didn’t die! I was just temporarily called over by the Holy Sword, so I was only halfway dead!”

“That still sounds like a problem to me.”

Seishiro seemed to be a serious person at heart. 

The events of this incident appeared to be driven by desperation, and Natsuki had no intention of complaining. He didn’t feel like blaming Seishiro at all.

In the other world, there had been people like Seishiro who sought revenge. 

One such person had been part of a respectable merchant family, but their dirty dealings were exposed, leading the country to confiscate their assets. 

Seeking revenge, they attacked a rival who had revealed their misdeeds. That alone wasn’t unusual, and Natsuki didn’t think much of it. However, the avenger went as far as to kill the rival’s fiancée in front of him, and then murdered both families.

That avenger, having sunk to the lowest depths, eventually crossed paths with Natsuki, who ended his life by beheading him. Natsuki had always thought it might have been better to kill him sooner. Then again, the rival was no saint either, having engaged in plenty of shady activities, so it was a case of both sides getting what they deserved.

Seishiro, too, could have harmed Ginko’s family as a means of revenge, but he didn’t. That was because, deep down, Seishiro was still a good person.

“Well, for now, Kanna, come to my place. You can stay the night.”

Seishiro gratefully accepted Senju’s offer.

“And tomorrow, you’re heading back to your family, right?”

When Senju flashed a mischievous grin, Natsuki and Yusuke also smirked.

Koume and Ginko, on the other hand, were wearing outright evil smiles. 

Ren was the only one looking confused, tilting his head in puzzlement.

“Of course you’re going back! And we’re coming with you! I can’t wait to see the look on your family’s faces when Seishiro-san returns home with two divine swords! And not just any swords—ones gifted directly by Tsukuyomi-sensei and that mother-con god!”

“Bet your childhood fiancée will do a complete 180 on you!”

“The whole family will be bowing in apology!”

Even Natsuki, who rarely got this excited, was fully on board with the idea, along with Ginko and Koume.

“I’ll take pictures for you!”

“Then I’ll shoot some video on my phone!”

Senju and Yusuke were just as eager to tag along to the Kanna household. 

Watching everyone get carried away with their schemes,

“Uwa…”

“…These guys are seriously twisted.”

Ren and Seishiro said, clearly taken aback.

〜〜Afterword〜〜

Amaterasu: “Susanoo loooost! Serves him riiight! To think he acted all high and mighty and then lost—pugyaaa! Natsuki-kun deserves my blessing—here, have some blessings!”

Mio & Miyako: “Wow…”

Amaterasu: “Bring me sake! Bring a whole barrel! We’re celebrating todaaaay!”

Unkai: “I’m just happy to see Amaterasu-sama having such a great time!”

Jessie: “Grandma, this is supposed to be a time for mourning, not celebrating.”

Next time, the Holy Sword vs. Koume & Ginko!

We’ll also visit the Kanna household later!
