(…!)

I had been ready to die, but right before crashing into the ground, a faint glow enveloped my body and I stopped for a moment in mid-air.
For now, am I saved…?

Damn, I have absolutely no clue what just happened. What was that magic circle lookin’ thing? Why did I… and Kanata and Sakura come to such a place…?

“Oh right! What happened to those two?” I shouted involuntarily, but…

As for dyin’ from hittin’ the ground… they’re probably okay, aren’t they? I’m not sure why, but I believe that glow also appeared for them. For the time bein’… Guess I should go in their direction, shouldn’t I?

I got up from my kneeling position and looked around.
At first glance… it merely seems as if I was blown off somewhere, but…

I stood unmoving in place.

Oh, right. My phone… I have that, don’t I?
I took out my smartphone from a uniform pocket, but when I turned it on, I had no service.

Since I’ve saved Kanata’s and Sakura’s numbers in my phone, I thought I could call them, but… guess it won’t be so easy.

It happened when I gave up and put the phone back in my pocket. Suddenly, one by one, letters appeared in my mind.
The hell…!

To you.

You are likely frightened by these sudden events.

You have responded to someone’s summons and thus came to this world from Earth. The name of this world is “Anazumu”. You might have noticed already, but this is another world.

Under the authority of this world, I was able to bestow a special power onto you. Furthermore, you are able to speak, read, and write the language of this world. If you want a more detailed explanation, wish for “I want to see my status screen” in your head, and you will be able to see your status screen and, at the same time, various explanations. Though that is something all inhabitants of this world can do.

There are also magic beasts and other vicious beings, so please take care.

A god of Anazumu1.

Ah, now I get it even less. We came to a different world, did I hear that right? And we were clearly summoned… Well, I don’t have a clue, but according to those letters… I was honestly saved by that god who contacted me.

So, for the time bein’, should I meet with the people who summoned us?

Also, somethin’ should appear, if I think that I want to see my status screen. Guess it can’t be helped, I’ll give it a try.

I closed my eyes and repeatedly thought “I want to see my status screen”. Something appeared in my mind once more.

That’s sick!
Absolutely insane. Seriously feels like I’m in a game. Ayumu would’ve loved this…

Right, I still know zilch about what this SKP and other stuff is. If this was a game, I’d get to see details and hear some sort of explanation, but…

When I thought that, a great number of letters appeared in my mind, once more.

This is your status screen. Unless you are in possession of a special skill or seal, you are unable to look at other people’s status screens.

This concludes my explanation.

I see, that special power the god mentioned at the beginning… maybe that’s the skill called God of Fire with five stars attached to it. Not that I know what kind of effect it has, but… you can apparently examine it as you like, right? Hey, I can look up everythin’, titles and all…

I kinda get how to live in this world now. Maybe.

Still, first I gotta look for those two. I remember what direction they flew off to, so should be fine goin’ there. And if I don’t find them, I’ll assume they’re alive and decided to move on, in which case there’ll be no other way than findin’ a place where people live.

Oh, seriously, why did it turn out like this? I… I was just supposed to be at Mika’s funeral, y’know.

At any rate, gotta move.


Author’s note:
From now on, the story will follow the order Shuu → Kanata & Sakura → Alim & Mika or other characters, with 3 chapters for Shuu, 3 for Kanata & Sakura, and 2 for Alim & Mika or others, making for a total of 8 chapters per round. This number of chapters may change.


TL notes:
Oh, look! It’s a status sheet! We haven’t seen these in… 92 chapters! I guess the series will go back to its roots of leveling, status screens, and skill shenanigans from now on.

On a more serious note, Shuu talks with slight slang, so I’ll try to make his narration sound a bit different from Alim’s. That said, I don’t have much experience writing slang, so any feedback would be welcome.



 

Footnotes:

  1. If you think that sounds a lot like what Alim read in chapter 2, well that’s because it is. With some exceptions, it’s exactly the same stuff that Jizou wrote back then. I guess those gods have some sort of template they use for their messages (or this is actually Jizou in disguise).
  2. I think this is the first time we see his name’s reading. It was just as kanji before without furigana.
