(When two of us come back, letās build the Adventurer Guild together, or such a thing. Now that I think about it again, that was such a flagā¦.. )
He was careless.
When we get back letās get married, such thing.
When we return letās live together, such thing.
Arenāt those words but never be said when on the battlefield?
He was careless since he already defeated the Demon Lord.
Adventure is an adventure until oneās come back home, or he forgot such thing.
The maids came, and started calling the four people who were getting bored on the top of the summoning formation.
For now, until the Himeās condition becomes better, they are made to wait inside the room that was already prepared for them by the maids. The rooms were guest rooms on the third floor.
The candidates had to share rooms and Isagai was paired up with Eyeglasses as roommates.
Sharing rooms even though they are the Demon Lordās candidates. What a terrible treatment.
Eyeglasses crawled onto the bed, and covered himself with the cloth till it covered his head.
Sometime ćThis is just a dreamā¦. this is just a dreamā¦.. ć or such a mutter can be heard.
An emotionally unstable person, is scarier than a monster is what Isagai thought.
ćHey Heyć
Even though Isagai tried to talk to Eyeglasses, he gave no response.
Isagai wanted to ask Eyeglasses about various things regarding what kind of world Eyeglasses was from.
It seems that now is impossible.
Itās must be better to let Eyeglasses be alone for now.
Eventually he will surely settle his resolution.
ļ¼I am too forcibly got kidnapped three years ago after all, I understand what he feels. ļ¼
Isagi, got summoned when he was in second year in his middle school.
During that time was the hardest time of his life.
Since his parentās accidental death, he was passed around to his relativeās house.
At the unfamiliar place, he couldnāt even make a single friend.
There was nobody whom he can rely on. It was a very lonely life.
Because of the circumstances at the time, it was not shocking that he got summoned into the other world.
After all there was no good thing to keep living in reality. It was his intention to search for a job and live alone right after he graduates from middle school.
If itās like that then isnāt it same if he just live in the other world, so he thought.
ļ¼I have no hobby at allā¦.. Now that I think about it, I was a human which incredibly fit to get to different world. ļ¼
He seriously is thinking about that.
For a normal person, getting depressed like this too is a normal thing right.
Thatās why, he never had any problems with that.
(The one who get summoned by the summoning formation, will they able to come back after fulfilling their task, is it)
This was Isagiās prediction.
ļ¼Probably they canāt come backļ¼
After all, itās no need for it.
Even just a research about the way to do it mustnāt exist.
Isnāt that right?
ļ¼You can just kill the summoned person when they have no use. Why would they waste their own magical powers just to send us back to our former world? Thereās no way thatās true. ļ¼
Perhaps it is a cruel story.
However that is summoning magic.
For granting our own wish someone else ās life will be sacrificed.
ļ¼Itās like when they do war ā¦ļ¼
To a modern person who lived a peaceful life. It was an extreme situation out of their imagination.
They will felt depressed.
Thatās why.
ćUmm, I am, will go outside for a momentć
More or less Isagai tried to call out to Eyeglasses, but still there was no response.
ļ¼He was so pitifulļ¼
I am playing innocent.
Isagi ended up thinking something like that.
The outside of the room is bright.
Since he was summoned in basement where sunlight could not Ā come in. So it felt like it was late at night but,
on the outside the sun is still bright.
Is it perhaps because he continue to battling with demon king whole night, he feel slightly languid.
Even though his wound is healed, but as for the heavy feeling of tiredness, his shoulders are heavy.
ļ¼Time lagā¦. Or rather, itās summon lag rightļ¼
While making a big yawn, he began walking along the corridor.
ļ¼Though they said to go to the room, but they didnāt warn us for not leaving the room after all.ļ¼
While he thought about such sophism.
ļ¼ā¦. This place, Is is really the Demon Lordās royal castle that I invade? Right?ļ¼
He recognized various spot.
The Demon Lord castle is surrounded by a barrier all over it. It has been constructed so that no one will able to come in unless theyāre enter politely from inside. (also can translate as carefully, but I think itās funnier this way.)
It made the attackers have an overwhelmingly disadvantage if they tried to storm the castle. Humanity would have perished if the war was prolonged.
Thatās why Isagi and the others stormed in with dying resolve.
What awaited them was one of the surviving members of the five demon generals, and countless traps.
It was a place where youāll lose your life the moment you let your guard down.
If it was given a labyrinth rank, then surely it would have been given the highest ranking. (TL: itās the demon lord castle after all =-=ā)
Assassins were also lurking around everywhere.
They could not properly advance with assassins and magic barriers that were affixed all over the place.
Even just to step up one step, it was so scary that it make their knees tremble.
However,
when it comes to the Demon Lordās castle 20 years later, it is not as scary as before.
For some reason wooden planks were pasted into the windows.
And the walls were being maintained with a clearly different kind of stone.
(Itās declined huh, the Demon Lordās castle ā¦. even though formerly it was that spaciousā¦ )
While he was roaming around, he drew up the structure three dimensionally Ā inside his head.
(It seems that the basement also got completely caved in. Well, though the one who did it was me)
Even so, the war already ended 20 years ago.
It means that there were no decent maintenance in this place for last 20 years.
Or perhaps, maybe until just recently this place was an abandoned castle.
(Perhaps thatās true. Something like the castle where the hero killed the Demon Lord. itās too ominous right)
While having such a thought, he continued looking around.
Even through he passed some maids, it seems to be that the demons who are working at the Demon Lordās castle are not really that much.
Although there are some guards, but basically the place where the guards are stationed at are supposedly in another place.
He tried checking from the windows but inside the wall and even outside of the wall, there were no demon guards in sight.
There are only scattered soldiers, who are in the middle of training without any ambition.
The Demon Lordās castle is an important point.
Supposedly thereās no way its good for them to laze around.
(Or maybe, for the sake of theĀ summoning formation being installed at this place to be able to operate, they must have moved for a moment or perhaps itās something like that?)
Although he thought about it in various ways, he still didnāt quite understand.
Even if he tried to solve it, if itās not after he heard the circumstance in this world for this 20 years, then itās meaningless.
After walking a considerably far amount, he got out of the castle and got around to a scouting tower.
(Around here huh)
He confirmed Ā where there were any human presences around. There was none
After that, he put a small power into his right hand.
Thereupon, a small blue lighting is dwelled at the tip of his finger.
Immediately he clench hisĀ fist.CrackĀ crack crack the lightning make such a voice and then vanished.
(Yosh, it seems that I didnāt lose my power)
With this, the weak new game state is now avoided.
The summoning magic in this world is only the ćPhysical bodyć getting summoned, and leave behind the ćPowerćin that world.
Though he think that thereās some possibility since his entire wound was recovered, but it seems thereās no such worry.
If itās like that, then there should be some power Ā still remaining too.
Letās check it when thereās an opportunity.
Though Isagi is a swordsman, he is able to use about simple sorcery and magic.
Essentially sorcery and magic is the same thing.
A power to alteration a phenomenon with the cost of magical power inside oneself thus thereās no difference in the process.
But, the one that can injure the opponent is the sorcery.
The one which specialized in defence system is magic.
Thatās how its work.
For example, the attacking technique from four elements (fire water land wind) is sorcery.
A healing technique to curing wound is magic. Even a barrier technique which have effect repelling demon is again called magic.
Thereās also some of which are complicated.
If one raises a wall of earthĀ ćEarth Barrierć is called magic, but it can also divert and attack the opponent.
As for that case surprisingly, it was called as ćStone Hammerć, then treated as sorcery.
The skill which supposedly goes through totally same process, they were divided into sorcery and magic.
Then itĀ wasnātĀ necessary to divide it to sorcery and magic isnāt it.
Or that is what Isagi thought about it.
The one such Isagi able to use, is elementary sorcery.
The other is, Recovery magic, Barrier Magic, approximately that is it.
Again, other than sorcery and magic, thereās thing called witchcraft which also exists.
Witchcraft is just like it name, itās it was the completely superior transposition of sorcery and magic. (Here éę³ [Mahou a.k.a witchcraft] is written by combining the first word for éč”[Majustsu a.k.a sorcery] (é this part ) and ę³č” [Houjutsu a.k.a magic]( ę³ this part) )
Fundamentally it is used to help an item such as ćMagic squareć or ćMagic formationć to be able to invoke it.
There are also existed a special talented people, which are able to use witchcraft with just a simple substance.
Of course Isagi canāt use it.
Isagi was sightseeing while ascending to the top of the tower. He then hanged out his legs from the window.
On the outside, the wasteland which seems to last to the no end, spread tills the end of the horizon.
Thereās no mistake, this is the Dark Continent.
The geography of Demon Lordās castle, was completely crammed into his him from repeated reconnaissance.
Though it was supposed to be a event which happened few days ago.
In just 20 years there will be no difference in itās terrain.
Thus for Isagi, the scenery of countless corpses of knights and demons collapsing in a heap, even now it is still burned in his eyes.
He traced the far away valley with his finger.
Even those thing about them desperately advance at that place, appeared to be a distant past.
His magical energy and fighting spirit is still remaining.
But, the thing which didnāt he hold inside his body, he wouldnāt able to take it to this world.
(The thing which I lost is only that sword huh.
ā¦ā¦ No, didnāt I also lose the thing which is the more precious.)
His friends who walked together with him in this castle just moment ago.
What did Ā those guys do in the world 20 years later.
Isagi pressed his left eyes with the palm of his hand.
(Why was I only one who got summoned to the other world or rather, this is becoming something like time slip right~)
After all if itās really the case, its better if they call him along with his three reliable friends.
Plea, Barlzdo, Selder those three people.
They was Isagiās friend which together with him defeated the Demon Lord.
(Why theyāre, now change to, Yankee, Ikemen, and Eyeglasses)
Itās not the same level, but more as a level down.
Somehow it feels like he is becoming all alone again.
The loneliness strikes his heart.
He was thinking about what heās going to do from now on.
(ā¦.For now, should I just quickly go to the Imperial capital?
Perhaps thereās supposedly even someone who remembers me after all.
Even those guys must be waiting for a long time right)
Thereās a thought of what the Adventurer Guild looks like .
He wanted to make certain with his own eyes.
But, he is also curious about the present status of the demons.
He should put his priority to either one.
If thinking about efficiency, then itās that he will go to the adventurer guild after he heard about the demonās trouble.
For Isagi to go to imperial capital from demon kingās castle, it take two month in his full speed.
The problem is that he must cross over the sea.
If he making a round trip with that distance, it must be pretty difficult right.
As expected the demonās problem is the first, huh.
(I will go to the Adventurer Guild after that.
Still it would good if there is an acquaintance over there)
If he takes out hisĀ name, then surely it should convey the message.
Though he still have anxiety, even if he got worried about it now ,nothing will change.
(Thereās no other way for me than live in this world huh ā¦ā¦ in the endā¦.)
He still didnāt decide his resolve.
Thereās to many things that he lost.
Isagi slowly descended from the scout tower.
