Returned from Another World, Earth Turned Out to Be Quite the Fantasy Too. Also, Losing Heroines, Stop Looking This Way. - V4 Chapter 52

Chapter 52: “Why Is the God of Thunder Here?!” ②

Natsuki slowly unhooked his arm from Thor’s shoulder—casually placing his autograph board on the round table.

Then, without a word— 

He took a big step back.

Up until now, he had just assumed Thor was either sightseeing—

Or, like some of the other gods and demons, just hanging out in Japan.

Never—not even once—did he think this guy had actually come to fight him.

(Holy Sword-san! We’ve got a CODE RED! Hello?! Answer me!!!)

(…We are currently closed. Please leave a message after the beep. Beep!)

(WHAT THE HELL?! Where did you even learn that?! And what was that stupid beep at the end?! This is NOT the time for jokes—HELP ME!!!)

(Sorry, we are unable to take your call at this time. Please kindly screw off and try again yesterday.)

Natsuki could practically see his sacred weapon—

Sleeping peacefully, not giving a damn.

He started panicking.

(Wait, no, seriously—this is BAD! Emergency! Emergency!!!)

(…Excuse me? Emergency? Who the hell is she?)

(WHY do you understand voicemail, but not emergency?! That makes NO sense!!! Whatever—just HELP ME! Thor is way too OP! His arms are like literal tree trunks! If he punches me, I’ll end up with a hole in my stomach!!!)

(Ugh… You’re so noisy… If a hole opens up, just patch it up.)

(I mean, yeah, I could—BUT IT’D STILL HURT!!!)

(Not my problem… Anyway, I’m still sleepy, so deal with it yourself. My magic’s still adjusting to this world, so I’m out. Figure it out on your own.)

(Wait—HEY! BEEP. BEEP. BEEP.)

(…You’ve gotta be kidding me.)

Natsuki had desperately called out to his Holy Sword for help—

But apparently, it was still charging.

Cold sweat dripped down his back.

This was really bad.

“Now, Natsuki Yura-dono! Let us have a glorious battle!”

“WAIT! HOLD UP!!! If we actually go all out, Mukaijima City is gonna get wiped off the map!!! And I’m not about to be the tragic protagonist of some post-apocalyptic story!!!”

“Hmm. True—I too would rather not harm innocent civilians. However… I am unable to erect barriers nor do I possess a divine realm to fight in. So… what should we do?”

“Alright!” Natsuki clenched his fist, feeling a spark of hope.

He didn’t fully understand why some gods and demons had divine realms while others didn’t—

But apparently, Thor wasn’t the type to be able to just whip up a battlefield out of nowhere.

Which meant—

If he played his cards right, he could weasel his way out of this fight.

…Or so he thought.

“Oi, Natsuki. Just got a message from Amaterasu— Looks like she set up a divine battlefield where you two can go all out.”

“THAT’S NOT HELPING!!!”

“Said she’ll take payment in beer.”

“THAT’S LITERALLY EXTORTION!!!”

Before Natsuki could protest any further—

Thor firmly gripped his shoulder, flashing those perfectly white teeth.

“As expected of Japan’s Sun Goddess! Now we can fight without worry!”

“Yeahhh, see, the thing is—I really don’t wanna fight, actually.”

“Why not? For a true warrior, fighting a worthy opponent strengthens their bond.”

“…Yeah, no. That’s not a thing. Also, I’m not a warrior.”

“Ah, my apologies! You are a Hero, after all! But surely, even a Hero seeks out battle and camaraderie?”

“…So, just to clarify—a grown-ass Norse God wants to physically beat up a fragile middle schooler?”

“Ugh…! V-Very well! Then I shall offer you a reward! Whatever you desire—so long as it is within my power!”

“…Wait. Did you just say whatever?”

“Indeed!”

Natsuki paused—

Contemplated for a brief moment—

Then, awkwardly fidgeting, he finally spoke up.

“I want autographs from the Norse gods~!”

“…That’s it?”

“Oh, oh! And also—I want a video message from them, addressing me personally!”

“…Hmm. You are a boy with very modest desires. I half expected you to demand I bring forth the most beautiful women of Asgard… But if that is your request—then so be it! I shall grant it!”

“HELL YEAH!!!”

“Natsuki… you’re seriously cheap.”

“Natsuki-kyun… that’s way too cheap, even for you!”

“Wait, wait, WAIT—I want those autographs too!!!”

〜〜Afterword〜〜

Wouldn’t you want autographs and personal video messages from Norse gods too?
