Takaya could only watch from a distance as his classmates survived the hardships one after another with their awakened talents.
He spent his days lost in their luggage, hoping that the enemy wouldnât pay any attention to him.
He thought he could become âsomethingâ like everyone else.
However, that time never came, and he became an outcast in this other world.
ââIs that all your luggage?â
ââŠâŠ Yes. I donât have a lot of my own stuff.â
Takaya put most of his luggage in the storage space of the bus, so he himself was almost empty-handed in this new world. By the way, there was nothing left in the bus covered with ivy.
There is only the change of clothes in the backpack that I brought into the bus, and the âsomethingâ that Iâve had for a while since I came to this world.
âHey, Harukawa-kun. Itâs my work tool, but what should I do withâŠâ
âOh, Nagami. My bad to interrupt while youâre talking, but please do a little bit more at the end.â
When he tried to ask Akito about the treatment of âitâ that he was holding in his hand, a demon beast that looked like a wild boar was thrown in front of Takaya with a shameless remark from the side. Of course, it was already dead.
It must have been hunted early in the morning, and the rigor mortis had already set in, and even touching it from the top of its fur, he could see that its muscles were stiff.
âHey Suetsugu, Nagami is no longer in our party ⊠And youâre leaving such a big job to him.â
âOh? Thereâs only this much that this guy can do, so letâs use him all the way to the end.â
One of the classmates, Shunichi Suetsuguâs Gaze is directed toward Takaya. Compared to Takayaâs, his large and muscular body is as different as an adultâs from an elementary schoolerâs.
âIâm ⊠Guehâ
When Takaya opened his mouth, Shunichiâs log-like arm wrapped around his neck and squeezed without hesitation. Takaya was suffocated by the quick work of a guy who had the ability to compete in national competitions in judo. Heâs also a mainstay of the vanguard of the party, and has demonstrated his skills to the fullest in this world.
âWhat? I? I just want you to handle this corpse? Then your answer should be â YES â. I didnât allow you to sayâ I am â right? â
âUghâŠâ
âHey stop! No matter what the problem is, weâve decided with everyone in class to stop violence !?â
Akito, panicked at the sight of Takaya flapping his limbs, obviously in pain, immediately tried to pull Shunichiâs arm away.
âHey, itâs a joke, Akki, donât be so annoyed by such small skinship. Thatâs why youâre an honor student.â
As expected, he couldnât go against Akito, and released Takaya while mumbling.
âGoho ⊠goh âŠ!â
âHey, Nagami. So whatâs the answer to the previous question? YES or let me do it? Which one?â
âYes, Iâll do it ⊠Gohoâ
âOh yeah, then thatâs fine. Do that and get the hell out of here..â
Perhaps satisfied with Takayaâs answer, Shunichi returned to the circle of friends in a good mood. When Shunichi opened his mouth, the people around him burst into laughter.
âNagami, Iâm sorryâ
âItâs okay, there are only so many things I can do.â
Takaya then thrust his âcorpse dismantling knife,â the only decent piece of luggage he had, into the corpse of the magical beast in front of him with a familiar hand.
The job of dismantling the magical beasts caught by his classmates and transforming them into food and other materials.
This was the only job he had been given in this world, within this party.
