chapter 2
2 – #002.
“Jungwoon went to the army.”
“What? Why did you go to the army? What do you regret right now?”
“You know what happened in video class a while ago. That’s Jeongwoon.”
“Ah.”
I immediately understood why I turned around at my friend’s words.
“What is that, cheating on your girlfriend?”
“In technical jargon, it’s called NTR.”
“What is it?”
“Taking someone else’s woman.”
“Tsk.”
Because it wasn’t something you would talk about at a coffee shop, or a cafe near the school.
To put it briefly, it’s just that something happened that was just going around in news or Internet rumors.
Or that it happens unexpectedly often in universities.
If we were to talk about it as a drama, it would be something that would come out of love and war.
My girlfriend cheated on me.
I did something else while taking a video class in my own room.
The microphone was on, and the professor didn’t know how to turn it off.
But the woman’s boyfriend actually participated in the video class at his house.
– Hey! Who are you with! Who’s next to you!!
Then, who is the woman’s partner?
Well, that’s it.
“That’s why you can’t do motivational CC. It’s the woman who did the wrong thing, but the poor man takes the damage.”
“What are you saying? Do you avoid sh*t because you’re afraid of it? You avoid it because it’s dirty.”
So I sent a friend to the army.
“Hey. If you go into the army now, they say you’ll be a b*tch. Do you want to go with me? Let’s go with me.”
“It’s not honey, isn’t it f*cking uncomfortable? Also, before the end of the first semester, they’re already talking about the military.”
“You have to go someday.”
“I have to go, but I honestly don’t know.”
Wouldn’t it be better to go after 1st grade like everyone else?
There are still things that catch my eye to just go.
“Is it because of your girlfriend?”
“…….”
“Are you worried about wearing rubber shoes backwards like everyone else?”
“Do you think I’ll be late to the army because I’m afraid I’ll be dumped by my girlfriend? Bullsh*t.”
“Isn’t it? Acting like you’re dead and can’t live without it.”
“It’s not like that.”
Are you late to enlist in the army because of your girlfriend?
Everyone said that my girlfriend would be waiting for me to enlist in the army for two years.
These days, they say that they can contact you often because they bring their cell phones.
If it were her, she would definitely wait for me even after I went to the army.
Perhaps.
“I’ll think about it when the warrant comes out.”
“Isn’t it out yet?”
“It looks like it will come soon, but it’s not yet, so it’s okay. Hey, honestly, would you want to go to college for half a year before enlisting in the army?
Since I hadn’t experienced it, I couldn’t give a definite answer.
“Okay, it’s time for the lecture to begin, so let’s go. I’ll have the coffee.”
“Oh, why did you join the part-time job?”
“No. To commemorate the promotion to Diamond 5.”
“Crazy bastard…. What doesn’t your girlfriend say?”
“The two of you ate chicken yesterday to celebrate your promotion?”
“Rotten. I’m an idiot for asking this guy to go to the army. hehehe, let’s go to the classroom. …Don’t the classroom look shiny?”
“Why? Do you think the classroom becomes a cradle hall?”
“No, that’s not it… This must be…”
“It’s because you talk about the army unnecessarily. Ha ha. Shall we go on a trip after the term is over?”
I thought.
-Hey, f*ck, I said that. Let’s go to the army…
-Don’t talk, you crazy bastard! It’s bleeding!!
– Ha, f*ck. If I had known I would be reincarnated in another world, I would have enlisted in the army…
Said the guy.
As for why the goddess called us, it was based on ‘space’.
There are many cases where entire high school classrooms are reincarnated in a different world, but we are probably the only ones who are reincarnated in college classrooms.
Based on the classroom, 108 warriors were summoned.
38 Men and 70 women.
Why was he summoned with such an unbalanced s*x ratio?
-Hey, where have you been? I was in room 102 of the art gallery…
-I’m in room 202.
-I was in room 302…
Because there were only 108 people in the corner of the building where the goddess summoned us.
Just as if you put a spoon in a huge anthill and scoop it out, the three classrooms where you were taking liberal arts classes were summoned to the other world.
Unfortunately, only college students.
Since it was before the lecture started, there were no professors, and there were no service adults to clean the classrooms.
In fact, even if there were adults, they would not have been much different from us in the face of the ‘summoning to another world’.
– No, what is this…
– Hey. Listen carefully. Now, this is something that often appears in comics, and it’s called being reincarnated in another world.
-What is that!
-I didn’t know that the day would come when knowledge would be useful in life. In a word, we’re all f*cked up.
Rather, it was my friend’s otaku knowledge that helped.
-The 108 of us are warriors summoned by the goddess to the fantasy world, and we cannot return home until we kill the demon king. Forever.
-Where is that?!
-What you would only see in a movie actually happened. …I can only hope that all 108 people can survive.
What.
That, too, is now an old story.
Eventually, the guy died.
He was surprised by an orc, and a sword pierced his chest from behind.
After he died, I remembered what he said and thought about it over and over again.
If there is something I regret many times while living in this world now, if I had a girlfriend or something, I would rather have gone to the army sooner.
Then I wouldn’t have to see the deaths of so many motives and acquaintances.
Out of the 108 people summoned, all but 5 including me died.
Then.
I think so.
-Do you know who will die first in a war? An incompetent general? No. These are young soldiers who are patriotic for their country.
That’s what one of the professors said.
-Among the people listening now, there are probably people who think this way. Ah, you’re saying that to sound like a professor. You’re trying to become a political arm again. By the way, the current class is history liberal arts. Human history has been repeated many times over.
In the end, it is those who fight on the front lines who die, and those who survive are those who hide behind.
As a result, if you look at it.
It seems to fit.
Although weak, I fought on the front line.
The four who did not participate in the fight against the demon king.
All those who fought and tried to win against the demon king died, and those who tried to suck honey from behind survived.
If.
If given another chance.
The thought of … Is meaningless.
Already.
Because everything is over.
* * *
Maybe it’s because everything is over, I keep thinking about the old days.
In the past, from before we came here, to today, the processes that have taken place pass through my head in fragments.
There is no particular reason.
If I had to think about the reason, it was because of this black and white ring that the goddess entrusted to me.
“What do you think, saintess?”
“…That’s a tough one.”
Blonde hair.
A white nun’s uniform.
Just looking at her appearance, as a typical person from this world, she was ordered by the goddess and helped us who fell into this world with both physical and mental abilities.
“I’ve healed many warriors so far.”
With divine power, the power of a god that can heal wounds even if you receive near-death damage.
“If I had to pick the 10 people with the most injuries, I’d pick the mortician first.”
I also received a lot of help from divine power.
Unfortunately, the restrictions imposed on the saintess could not bring those who died on the battlefield back to life.
As much as the saintess has absolute divine power within the church, she cannot leave even a single footprint outside the church.
So many people have been healed by this church…
“…I hardly ever met the four surviving female warriors.”
The saintess openly shows her uncomfortable side.
He was the one who silently listened to the sound of ‘ㅆ’ and ‘F’ according to the command of the goddess.
Even a saint like that is uncomfortable with her.
“Honestly, I don’t think they defeated the demon lord. They’ve done so much. I only found out after hearing what the hero said. They’re just sidekicks.”
After the battle.
Instead of me, who fainted, they said they explained everything to those who rushed to the castle.
A lie that is completely different from the truth.
“Heroes are the people who were there after the demon king fell, not the ones who played a part in defeating the demon king.
“That’s right, saintess.”
In fact, it was.
“What do those women say?”
“…They said they fought the demon king too.”
The truth always falters in front of lies and incitement.
“The reason he suddenly disappeared was that he was summoned in the final battle, that he fought with the best he could, that the warrior gave him a choice because he last stabbed the demon king, that he was the real warrior who defeated the demon king. .”
“What nonsense.”
“It’s nonsensical, but I can make sense. All four have ‘power’ in exchange for mediocre fighting power.”
“Ha.”
Power.
While the capture team fought bloody battles in the field, they took care of themselves behind the scenes.
“Honestly, when the hero told me to put them in prison, she was genuinely taken aback. Even if it’s just her right now….”
“Isn’t it because the tyrannical emperor is dead and the poor young lady?”
“…Yes.”
For example, one has the political power to put even the emperor of an empire at his feet.
‘It was famous for fishery management.’
She is a woman who treats men like a servant even in real life.
She is a woman so great that she made not only the emperor but also the owner of the Mage Tower, the best knight in the empire, and even the head of the assassination guild lick their feet.
She
She almost hit me once, she wasn’t a very good experience, she was full of unpleasant memories, she was someone I didn’t even want to see.
“Perhaps if word spreads that she is imprisoned now, her Emperor and all her mighty men will rush to her Order.”
“Yes. …I believe in you, hero. But as much as I believe in you, they will believe in them.”
“I know.”
Men who have been gaslighted.
There is no way to convince them.
Even if she knew the truth, it would be those who closed her eyes and plugged her ears for their woman, thinking that her love was what she made them do.
“Saint.”
I sat face to face with her saintess and held her hand.
“Thanks to the saintess, I have saved her life at least 10 times.”
“…You have been treated by me 84 times.”
“Do you remember all that?”
“It’s what I see.”
Ah.
That’s the story of the system.
The Goddess also gave the saintess the blessing of a system.
It’s an ability that specializes only in healing, but the saintess might see the number of times she’s cured me.
“I have been helped by the saintess 84 times. And I ask the saintess for help one last time.”
“What is it?”
“I’m leaving.”
Holding two rings.
“Unbeknownst to anyone, quietly.”
“…I can be your shield. I will protect you. Even the emperor-“
“I can’t wait to see you in trouble because of those women. And I need time to organize my thoughts.”
It’s not about who you go back to Earth with.
“…Trying to find a way out a little bit.”
I have to find a way to leave for Earth with one of my ‘colleagues’, not my siblings.
“I don’t want to put a ring on those girls.”
Even if I have to go to Earth alone.
