Academy Munchkin Enslaved

61 – His World (3)

[I think my house was burglarized, so can I stay at his house for a few days?]

“There is no answer… “

I hurriedly packed my things and left a text message for me and her girlfriend as if we were running away.

We arrived right away because we weren’t far from each other’s homes, but even so, my girlfriend didn’t reply.

“Could it be that he was already asleep?”

I knew the password to my girlfriend’s house, so I naturally opened the door and entered.

But contrary to my expectations, the house was empty, and I turned on the light and went in and sat down.

[Aren’t you at home? Once in.]

“Hmm… “

Tee-Ring-

[Strength?? I was meeting a friend outside for a while, so I’ll be right back, wait a little bit!]

After receiving the reply, I put my phone down in peace.

We are not obsessed with contacting each other, so we did not report every move.

Come to think of it, he said he might have an appointment with a friend tonight.

It’s late to say we only had dinner, but if we play, we can have a drink.

I was leisurely fiddling with my phone while waiting for my girlfriend.

“Brother!”

“Oh, are you here, Miyeon?”

I dozed off while waiting for about an hour. My girlfriend came in.

My girlfriend’s name is Lee Mi-yeon.

I got to know her through a friend, and we met for about two months.

“I’m late. Are sleeping I’m sorry, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen you, so the conversation got too long… “

“It’s okay. I must have come in a hurry because of me.”

“Eh. Are you okay. But the interview. Weren’t you coming back tomorrow? What are robbers talking about?”

“Oh, the interview is over today. I was thinking of sleeping at a friend’s house until today, but it seemed like a bit of a nuisance, so I just came back.”

“Oh, really? Did the interview go well? I’ll change my clothes and come back.”

When I came back from another world and was having a bit of a hard time, Miyeon showed up just in time and gave me quite a bit of strength.

She said that Miyeon was interested in me in the first place and asked her friend to introduce her. It didn’t take long for her to date.

Sometimes I had a hard time because of my thoughts about this world, and Miyeon was pretty and her personality was okay, so I decided to date her right away.

“Yes. Take it slow.”

It was good to actually return to Earth, but the feeling of emptiness continued for a while.

I still grind my teeth when I think of what the other world, especially the imperial family, did to me.

The desperate expression of the princess I saw at the last moment was also refreshing.

Apart from that, however, the fact that the world would be invaded by demons and destroyed continued to remain in my heart.

Anyway, it is said that the existence of a hero plays a big role in winning or losing the war.

Perhaps it is safe to say that the human side without a hero is almost unconditionally defeated by the demons.

There was no regret left in that world. Whatever happens, it’s none of my business.

But responsibility was something like that.

It wasn’t the title of a warrior I got because I wanted it, but it was a situation where the fate of the people in that world depended on me alone.

And without me, their future will be helplessly swallowed up by demons.

In a way, I thought it was my responsibility.

My heart ached for no reason when I thought of innocent people dying in the flames of war.

I wasn’t summoned because I wanted to, they summoned me and then tortured me and sold me as a slave.

That was the work of nobles with no answer, and the ordinary common people below them would be eagerly hoping for a hero to save the world.

From their point of view, they wouldn’t have known about my situation, and they would have been desperate for the fact that the hero would return to the original world and they would perish.

There is a saying that human nature is good.

Actually, the fate of that world had nothing to do with me, it was just that I was summoned with bad luck, but I felt a little guilty about those facts.

Actually, if it were my personality, I would have tried to save the continent. If only those members of the imperial family had been a little more normal.

I felt sorry for the common people who would die innocently, but when I thought of the humiliation they suffered in the imperial family and at the academy, my heart completely disappeared and I repeated.

The thoughts and guilt that tormented me, who were innocent, continued for a while.

As I gradually adapted to reality, those thoughts gradually decreased, but they still came to my mind from time to time.

The scenery there.

“Did the interview go well?”

“Ah, yes. I wonder if I will pass.”

“Really? Great. Oppa, are you a researcher at a large company now?”

“hahahaha… what. I’m just a new employee.”

“Still. My boyfriend goes to YY Electronics. You should be proud~”

It seems that having a girlfriend at the right time also helped.

I was able to quickly become close to Miyeon thanks to her unique affinity.

It’s not that deep a relationship yet, but it’s also true that I was able to quickly return to reality thanks to him.

“I will make a lot of money.”

Now that I’m completely back to reality.

You don’t have to think about that time anymore. Just think of it as a dream.

I stayed at Miyeon’s house until the cctv video arrived from the landlord, until the next day.

And then another day passed.

[I checked the cctv, but it doesn’t seem like anyone sneaked into room 302 that day, and it was confirmed that three women came out of room 302. I sent you a video of that part, so check it out.]

[Video]

“Three women… ?”

“Why? Have you contacted me?”

Finally, the video of the day arrived with a call from the landlord that he had checked the cctv.

There was no video with someone in it, but only the video with three women was filmed?

Did he even go in through the window? But it’s on the 3rd floor, and in these days, they rode the wall.

No, in the first place, it made no sense that a man like that would be robbed in a studio living alone. And besides, it’s a woman.

“Yes. Let’s check it out.”

It was a series of situations that I couldn’t understand, but I was able to understand the situation immediately after checking the video the landlord sent me.

“Look at these women! All hair colors are unique.”

“…… “

“Brother? Should I report it to the police?”

“… Oh no. Wait for a sec.”

“Huh?”

Three women suddenly come out of my house. They each had silver, red, and pink hair.

“Ha… How?”

“Huh? Why?”

I thought it was a dream, so I kept watching the video, but it was definitely reality.

Since it was filmed on cctv in the first place, it can’t be an illusion. It’s a video that the landlord also confirmed.

But how? How the hell do they even exist in this world?

As the memories of the place I had barely forgotten about raged, the scars on my body began to tingle.

It was definitely those three people. From their hair to their clothes, it couldn’t be them.

Could it be that he created dimension shifting magic? Otherwise, why would you exist in this world…

“… I have to go home I don’t think there is any need to report it.”

“Huh? Do you know anyone? Shall we go together?”

I hurriedly got dressed and got ready to go home.

At first, I tried to stop Miyeon from following me, but I decided to just go with her.

If you show me that I’m living well here, I might go back quietly.

I don’t even know what the purpose of these guys came here in the first place, but anyway.

Anyway, I didn’t want to think about it anymore.

Looking back now, there were more bad memories.

When you see that even though memories are beautified, such disgust remains, you can see how beggarly the world was.

I clenched my fists and ran to the house with unknown, esoteric emotions.

***

“Huh ah ah ahhh-when will Ian come?”

“I hardly have anything to eat now… What if Ian never shows up, Lorraine?”

The 4th day since the dimension shift.

All the food in Ian’s refrigerator ran out, and the three of them discussed while breaking and eating the strange twisty snack.

Getting out of this city seemed impossible at first. Even if he escaped, he wouldn’t know where Ian was.

In the first place, since I didn’t even know the letters of this world, I couldn’t figure out where I was going.

I tried to ride a large square box that seemed to be the means of transportation in this world, but its knight chased the three people out, asking them to bring the money.

There was no way there was money. I don’t even know how the money in this world came about.

“Nehaaa-“

The most carefree was Kana.

She always lay down on Ian’s bed and fell asleep, probably because Ian smelled good.

In the meantime, I couldn’t sleep every day because I was doing research, so I was tired or something.

Even in this situation, not thinking was just ridiculous.

I wondered how that was a professor.

“Is there any way… Or asking the people living in the same building about Ian’s whereabouts?”

“I already did that while the two of you were sleeping. He said he didn’t know. People here don’t seem to care about their neighbors.”

“Huh… oh my god… “

I wonder if this is how Ian felt when he was first summoned.

Ian was summoned to the imperial family as a warrior without knowing anything about the other world.

Lorraine understood a little bit of Ian’s feelings when he was surrounded by strangers and heard that he had to save the world as a hero.

Besides, Ian received an absurd misunderstanding and was immediately imprisoned in a dungeon and even tortured, and later sold to an academy as a slave.

In a way, it was only natural that he hated the continent so much and wanted to return to his own world.

Now that he was in his shoes, he seemed to know it when he fell into a strange world.

Besides, they are three now, but Ian was alone at the time.

Considering the fear he must have felt on the continent, it was a great thing that he endured.

Perhaps even coming to him like this and asking him to come back with him is encouraging bad memories for him.

I wonder if he isn’t too happy to see us again. No, maybe it’s just that I’m angry.

Lorraine, now understanding his position, realized how selfish he had been.

It would have been a more ideal choice if at that time he had studied 7th tier magic and tried to fight against the demon lord.

It was a very selfish act from crossing over the dimension to recover Ian, who had been hurt and returned in his own world, with personal greed.

It was an action that did not take into account his feelings at all, and could possibly give him another nightmare.

If I had known it would be like this, I would have treated you better from the first time we met at the academy.

Now regretting what happened nine years ago, Lorraine started blaming herself.

And the imperial family who made him leave like this also hated it.

“Maybe… Could this be something Ian doesn’t want?”

Miya said the same thing with a downcast face.

If Miya, who was closest to Ian, said this, the fear she felt here was just as great.

“Maybe. Maybe it could be a nuisance from coming here like this.”

“Yes. It may have been a bad memory for Ian. It’s just because of our greed… Maybe that’s why Ian isn’t coming back either?”

“Maybe… “

Kana was sleeping comfortably, and the atmosphere of the other two quickly became depressed.

But even so, nothing could change.

In the first place, it was premised that he and Ian would go back together, and he came over recklessly.

Because it was so hard for 8 years after losing him, it was probably because I made such an absurd choice.

Looking back now, crossing the dimension without any plan was such a stupid choice.

There was no guarantee that he would come back.

The two felt a little pathetic about themselves, not considering Ian’s feelings.

“But once we meet… “

Tdik-

“… !”

“Who… I’m here?”

While the two were in a state of depression, footsteps were heard along with the sound of the front door opening.

“No way… “

There was only one person to come in.

“Ka, Kana-senpai, wake up. Because it looks like Ian is here.”

“Ugh, ugh… Teas… ?”

“Ah! Hurry!”

My heart started pounding.

The gloomy mood just now disappeared, and the thought of meeting him again made my hair go white.

What should I say first? First of all, should I apologize for eating at my own pace?

Would you accept it if I asked how you were doing? With what expression will he look at us?

It was a fleeting moment, but the three of them lined up in a straight line in the room with 50,000 thoughts.

Still, there was some guilt about living in someone else’s house. It was after the surroundings were roughly organized.

Click

And finally the door to the room opened.

“… Under.”

“Lee, Ian… long time no see.”

“Ah, mister… “

“TS… !”

Ian came in and the three of them called out to each other with an awkward smile.

However,

But it wasn’t his cold expression that puzzled them.

“Brother. What are these women?”

“Ha… So… “

“”Eh… ?””

A woman who entered after him and folded her arms around him.

“Wait a minute… therefore… “

It was because a woman who was the same as the women the three had cursed for being unscrupulous was clinging to Ian like a fire fox.

“Lee, Ian, who is that girl?”

“Uncle, no way… “

“Ha… It’s you who say… “

Ian grabbed his head and shook his head.

And then, the words that came out of his mouth were, of course, enough to send the three of them into shock.

“Ha… First of all, this is my girlfriend.”

“Uh… ?”

He had a girlfriend.
