Chapter 43 Gaiden Episode 3 (Karina Sayama)

We arrived in front of the club room in Tenipara.

-Ton! @Tontsu!

I knock on the clubroom door.

"I'll go in."

"Cho !? Senpai, please stop!"

You can hear the other side of the door, the voice of a naughty man and the voice of Saori stopping it.

-Ton! @Tontsu!

Tra n s la t ed by Jp ｍt l.coｍ "Are you sure you want to enter?"

I knock again and call out.

Then, the door opens and a large man appears.

"Are you Saori's friend?"

"Yes, I'm Sayama."

"What's the name below?"

"... Rina?"

I don't give my name and I feel disgusted at the man in front of me. T rans l ate d by Jpm tl .ｃom

"Rina-chan ... Thank you! By the way, knocking twice is a toilet knock? Is it useful for job hunting if you remember?"

A large man talks lightly and comfortably. I just didn't like this charming atmosphere. That's why I didn't want to approach Tenipara.

"Yuya. Please do it."

Do you really want to return? When I was worried about, I heard a large man in front of the door, paying attention to Yuya.

"I'm sorry I called you from here. I'm Ando and Hideya. I'm the director of Tenipara."

A man with intellectual looking glasses coming out from behind-Hideya Ando offers one hand to me.

"Oh, yes. I'm Rina Sayama. Thank you."

Ando is probably a third or fourth year student. As a freshman, I bowed to raise my eyes.

"Ah ... please."

Senior Ando bowed lightly with a somewhat uncomfortable look.

"Ya! Yeah! Yeah, Riya-chan has been shaking hands with her!"

Yuya sings Ando

"Ah!?"

I noticed the situation and turned down.

T ra n sl at ed by jpｍ t l.ｃom "Yuya ... please be quiet"

Yuya shut down when Ando warned her with a quiet voice that seemed to cool down.

"Um, then Ando-senpai. I heard from Saori that I had something to consult .... What kind of business is it?"

"Ah. I heard from Mr. Kayama ... Ms. Sayama. You've heard that you're a kendo master. Is that true?"

―― !?

When I hear the words from Senior Ando, I go out of words.

I certainly had kendo experience and was a stepped person. My grandfather has a kendo dojo, and my father, mother and brother are stepped. If a person on the road hears his name, he is a master at the level he knows.

But I had no talent.

I was taught the path of the sword since childhood and worked hard-but I wasn't talented.

From an early age, he entered various competitions, both large and small, but all finished second.

The stigma attached-the uncrowned queen.

Uncrowned. An ordinary person who has never reached you.

The dojo is adorned with various trophies, diplomas and championships collected from his grandfather's generation, but none of them have my name on it.

So, I abandoned my sword.

"That's true! @Rina is amazing! @The prefectural tournament was all in, and Inter High was second!"

T r a n s la t ed by jp ｍ t l .ｃoｍ Saori shouts without knowing my feelings.

"Senior Ando. I'm sorry. I've already quit Kendo."

I bow and try to leave this place.

"Why !? Why do you say that !? Rina was terrible! I'm second in the country! I'm the second strongest in Japan!"

Saori's voice pierces my back trying to leave.

"That's right! I'm second! I'm second! I'm an uncrowned ordinary man who can never win .... That's me! Leave me alone!"

I also shout back at my emotions.

"Oh. Both are calm."

A man appears as he breaks in between Saori and me shouting from the back of the clubroom. I blush and turn down, noticing that I have extorted.

"Well, how are you going to do it? I guess I've seen it because I've taken the same lessons ..."

A man with an innocent look, still in the middle of a high school student, interrupted her eyes and glanced at me.

"I'm sorry, you ... have seen ..."

"Relieved, good. Nice to meet you. I'm at the exit (deguchi) @ Kazuya."

"Nice to meet you……"

When my emotions have subsided, I reply with a small voice.

"Um, Sayama-san isn't an uncrowned" Jinjin ", it's a" queen. "Hey. But it is " Tra nsl a te d b y jp ｍt l.ｃ o ｍ

Exit smiles with an innocent smile. I'm silenced with a reply.

"Isn't it uncrownable ... I guess it's a bad image. But, from my point of view, the second place is great! I'm a heavenly man!" So don't despise yourself. If I was depressed, I just went out to Inter High and I was floating, don't you look stupid? "

"sorry……"

"That's why I don't apologize! Isn't that nice? I'd like you to be calm and listen to the director's story."

"A story about the director?"

"That's right.

"Thank you. I was saved. The story changes, but Mr. Sayama. What do you think of the current world?"

"Is the current world ...?"

"Yes. The world is full of despair now. 25% of Japan. Over 75% of the land in urban areas has become inviolable. I think that humanity will decline soon if it stays as it is. "

"Is it declining ...?"

"That's right. The world where our living sphere has been greatly cut away. One scholar's theory predicts that the total population of the world will be reduced to 1/10 in less than 10 years. In other words, 9 out of 10 die in 10 years. What do you think is the means to overcome this desperate situation? "

"Is it a means? ......... the revelation of the goddess-is it" The World Relief Project "

"Yes. That's right. The World Salvation Project. The mysterious power that God has given us-humans. We believe that this is a way to break the status quo. For example, Mr. Suzuki and Mr. Tanaka there You can use magic, a truly unscientific unknown ability. ''

Two women are smiling before Ando's eyes.

"I also learned a special ability called" Analyze. "The effect is ... an untested ability to know the details of the subject. And the goddess gives us another great power It's a level and a status. "

Ando's speech is heated.

"Levels and stats. It's a game-like world, right? If you're flying into another world, it's a fantasy novel!", But this is the earth. But it's a point that will survive and break down the status quo. ''

"Is it a point ...?"

"The existence of the concept of a level indicates that we are getting stronger. So there is one question: is it only we that are going to get stronger? The demons that live in the territory may also become stronger, or the monsters that live in the territory may also have levels. There may be a Demon King at the back, and the Demon King may also level up. ''

"The Demon King ...?"

I have no clue, and I am stunned by Ando's hypothesis.

"In other words, what we mean is that we need to raise our level in order to survive. Adapting quickly to a changing world is the point where we can survive. According to information, humans can beat demons, and in fact, there have been many reports of high school students, even junior high school students, defeating demons. ''

"Eiya ...

Yuya puts tea into senior Ando's speech.

"Wow, this is the man who was made of muscle up to the brain ... Well, I mean, I want to say, Mr. Sayama! Would you like us to enter the territory with us? It is very encouraging that Mr. Sayama, a master, participates, and since that day, when it was called “Great Revolution,” it has been argued that women's fighting abilities are not much different from men's. Would you please enter the territory with us? "

Senior Ando bows greatly and asks me.

What happens if I refuse? ... The university may lose its place in temporary housing. Then what do you do? Evacuate to your family in Suzu? Now, what are you down?

I have lived in the flow of the world. Perhaps it is the flow that receives this invitation?

I nodded with an ambiguous smile.
