STORY

On his way home from college, Kaito is caught up in a Hero summoning and sent to another world with three other students. With a development like this, would they end up having to fight a Demon Lord!? That was what Kaito thought, but according to Lilia, the one who summoned them, the Demon Lord was defeated a long time ago, and the Hero is just summoned to be the main character of their festival. Kaito, who was taken aback by this unexpected fact, decided to spend his time relaxing in this peaceful world until a year passes, where they can return to their original world. But even though he wished for peace and tranquility, Kaito is blessed with a strange fate, as the big names of the Demon Realm and the God Realm begin to gather around him……

Dear Mom, Dad———— How are you doing?

It seems strange to ask two deceased people how they’re doing, but I hope you’ll just ignore that part. It’s been a little over two weeks since I was summoned to another world on my way home from college. I’ve come to this peaceful world where three realms and three races live together as close neighbors, and although there are some things I’m still confused about, I think I’m having a lot of fun here.

Caught up in the summoning just like me was the 2nd-year senior highschooler, Kusunoki Aoi-san. Then, there were her two kouhais, the 1st-year senior highschoolers, Yuzuki Hina-san and Mitsunaga Seigi-kun. The three of us, aside from Mitsunaga-kun, who had been invited to play the leading role in the once-in-a-decade Festival of Heroes, are being cared for at the residence of Lilia Albert-san, a Duchess in Symphonia Kingdom.

Lilia-san was a very kind person. She was sincerely concerned about us, who had been caught up in this incident, and took care of us so that we could enjoy this world.

In the beginning, I didn’t have the presence of mind to enjoy this world.

While my mind was riddled with various thoughts, I met the Demon girl, Kuromueina. My encounter with her, who was as cheerful and adorable as a child, and yet as patient as an adult, was the catalyst that enabled me, who had been hiding within my shell after the death of my parents, to look forward and walk further.

It seems that Kuro’s true identity is that of one of the Six Kings who reigned at the top of the Demon Realm…… The Underworld King, and she’s actually one of the most powerful beings in the world. Well, from what I feel, I could only see her as my cute and reliable friend.

[……Kaito-kun? You writing in your diary again?]

[Unnn. Kuro doesn’t seem like someone within the Six Kings at all.]

[Ahaha, I can’t refute that.]

Sitting on the sofa, Kuro talked to me while eating a baby castella. Seeing her cute actions, I couldn’t help but smile. Just a few days ago, I had the first date in my life, and I realized that I’m captivated by Kuro. However, I haven’t made any significant progress in my relationship with her yet.

Perhaps, that’s because I myself still haven’t found a solid answer to the matter of “falling in love with someone from another world. Well, it’s not something I could immediately answer, and I’ve still got a lot of time. Let’s not rush ourselves and take our time, and search for what I myself want. With those thoughts in mind, I looked at the clock and saw that it’s almost time for me to go to bed. I suppose it’s time to stop writing in my diary and start getting ready for bed.

[Unnn? Kaito-kun, you’re going to bed?]

[Yeah, I’m about to.]

[I see. Then, I guess it’s time for me to go home too……]

Seeing my movements, Kuro also got up from the sofa and started preparing to leave.

[Well then, Kaito-kun. Good night, see you tomorrow~~]

[Yeah, good night. See you tomorrow.]

Good night, see you tomorrow…… I think the fact that we can exchange such a simple exchange as a matter of course, is a really happy matter. At least, after the death of Mom and Dad, I had no one to exchange such words with.

As Kuro waved at me with a dazzling smile, I waved back at her and saw her off.
