When My Doorbell Rang at 5am, I Got a Wife

Chapter 48: The Unexpected Co-Habitation Rom-Com with the Summoned Girl from Another World…

“By the way, NASA has apparently named this unknown mineral Neutron Jammer Material. But it doesn’t matter much to give it a name now.”

Hinagiku-san sighed wearily.

“Yeah… It doesn’t matter what name we give it if we can’t overcome this crisis. But why didn’t anyone notice that such a huge thing was approaching the Earth until now?”

“It’s also because of the special magnetic field of the Atomic Jammer Material. I’ve heard that it’s difficult to find with conventional observation methods.”

“What’s that… Is it like those mysterious fictional substances that create convenient situations and settings for the story in SF anime…?”

Like the Minovsky particles that cause just the right radio interference for humanoid robots to fight, and things like that.

It’s really a well-thought-out god-like setting, but it’s not funny when such convenient plots happen in real life, so please stop it…

“The truth is stranger than fiction.”

“So, in 36 hours from now, the super giant meteor Ark Seeds will collide with the Earth, and this beautiful water planet will be hit by an unprecedented disaster, leading to the extinction of mankind.”

“… “

I was left speechless by Hinagiku-san’s words, which she said calmly while trying to suppress her emotions.

Yesterday, the day before yesterday…

It was a dense time full of hustle and bustle since Erika came to this world.

But who would have thought that we would encounter a crisis of the extinction of mankind on the third day?

I mean, wasn’t this supposed to be a fun and embarrassing co-habitation rom-com with the girl I summoned from another world?

But it turns out to be a worldwide action story where I fight against a secret evil society—and then, out of the blue, an asteroid hits and the entire human race is wiped out?

Who came up with this ridiculous story?

They’re crazy, seriously.

“This information will not be disclosed to the general public so as not to cause panic in the world. However, once the super giant meteor becomes visible to the naked eye from the ground, panic will be unavoidable.”

As I listened to Hinagiku-san’s story, I remembered something.

It was about the “Theory of Fate Intersection in Interworld Protagonists” that was mentioned yesterday.

It’s a theory in interworld studies that various events, girls, and even troublesome things are attracted to the protagonist’s surroundings.

“Hey, could it be my fault?”

“What do you mean?”

“Could it be that I, who became the protagonist unexpectedly, have attracted this tragedy? In other words, do I have to do something about it? Hinagiku-san! Is it my fault that mankind is on the verge of extinction?”

“I’m not sure about that.”

Hinagiku-san said that in a gentle tone with a kind smile.

However, I already had a strong conviction in my mind.

“Please stop worrying about it. This ridiculous story wouldn’t happen for no reason. Be honest with me, is it my fault?”

“Well, with these events happening one after another… I can’t say it’s absolutely impossible.”

“So… yeah. Suddenly, a super giant meteor appears. And it hits the Earth with astronomical odds—that’s not normal.”

But, I mean, what can I do about it?

Even the superpowers of America, Russia, and China have failed, so there’s no way a regular person like me can do anything about it.

What can a 30-something unemployed person like me do…?

Why me…?

There are so many more capable and useful people in this world than me, who is just flustered and panicked.

Why don’t you make a “capable person” the protagonist like in the movies?
