My First Trip was to Another World

We are rocked by a carriage towards the city of Linares on the west side of the king's capital. Accompanied by two knights on horseback and a carriage owner.

Inside the front of the carriage is me, the apostle (Shimura Sun), and another apostle, Miori (a Miori).

The departure was sudden. A soldier from Royal Castle took me out all of a sudden.

"Why was it so sudden?

That's what I said, Miori, who was summoned at the same time as me. It's my cousin. I've been close to him for a long time and I've always thought of him like a sister.

We're still immature, and we can finally just keep up with the training we do every day. If you're going out there, it's more training. I thought you needed it.

"I don't know. I thought you wanted to stay away from the church."

As our caretaker, a number of clerics were sent from the church. I was confused at first, but convinced I thought it was like a hotel employee.

In fact, that's what the caregivers did for me. The main tasks are guidance inside the castle, cleaning the rooms and replacing the sheets. Occasionally they watched me study, they talked to me.

I know Coe doesn't think well, but it was Mr. Phyllis and the church people who supported us in our anxiety when we first came to this country. We are very grateful.

Such clerics suddenly left the royal castle. It was a little after Koh left. They said the church people did something rude to Koh, so I thought it was because of that. But it doesn't look like it was.

I hear there was a coup in the church. The head of the church is a man named Pope, but I heard that pope was forced to quit.

At that time, all of our caretakers in the Royal Castle were replaced. I can't even see Mr. Phyllis anymore.

The king told me to stay out of the church people for a while, but all of a sudden those church people were gone, too. And we're next. I was told to inspect the neighboring town as if I were being kicked out.

"And it's too steep. Did something happen at the church?

"I think something's going on, but we can't do anything about it."

The royal castle was rude these days. I'm sure something happened. But we couldn't tell you what happened. [M]

It was the church people who taught me a lot at times like this. If he's gone, no one can ask him.

If you could count on me, I'd be happy to help. But no one relied on me. I'm sure we still look unreliable. [M] If you don't work harder and specialize, you won't be able to count on me.

We were taking part in soldier training and training. The training I was attending was very hard.

I was ashore, so I felt confident in my health. But that confidence was crushed on the first day. Even if you use the enhanced magic that Mr. Phyllis taught you, just follow it.

Coe, summoned together, was somehow plainly trained. It seems to be tougher than the training we are trained to do, but there's enough room for a light slap in the mouth to make a weak sound.

That's how he is now an adventurer in the King's Capital.

"Koh, you seem to be working hard on your adventurer."

I honestly envied his free way of life. I am always conscious of others and move for people. I've been taught since I was a kid that doing so is the right thing to do, and I've lived to protect it.

The sudden summons bewildered me, but I was going to spare no cooperation if that was for someone. Pro bono service is the most beautiful thing, which I took for granted.

For once, I am aware that my thinking is minority. If everyone in the world is like me, there will be no more war or crime in the world... that's what I've always thought.

Recently, my thinking has shaken. Because of his presence.

His behavior has been strange since he was in Japan. He doesn't seem to have any specific close friends, but he's a sociable person to get along with anyone.

But he has nothing to worry about around. I don't act for people. Yet he is glanced at and relied upon by others.

I have a sense that people are counting on me, and I'm honestly glad they're counting on me. I intend to live to be relied upon.

But he doesn't live to be relied upon. The opposite of me. Yet there is a great deal of trust from others.

My actions are free of charge. It has been taught that no action taken for a person should be sought in return. At home, at school.

But his actions are paid for. Whoever you ask, you will never move without the benefit of yourself.

As a result, he looks free and fun wherever he goes.

It really darkens me compared to myself......

"Sounds like it. Oh, I wish I could have followed you that way."

"Don't say that. Our mission is for everyone in this country. [M]

I don't know what's going to happen next, but at least we'll do our best for peace in this country. "

"Hmm. Honestly, I don't think so, do I? I'm not convinced they brought me to this country."

Never would have been if I had convinced myself. I want to go home as soon as I can.

But if there's something I can't do without us, and I say it's for peace and happiness, I think we should do it.

"You can leave the way home to Koh. You have a strong sense of responsibility, and you can count on it."

"Yeah. I know that. But I don't want to leave it to you."

As things stand, the only way back home is to leave it to Koh. The purpose of the Church is to send us safely to God. That's why I can't talk about how to go home in front of a cleric.

"Just do what we can and you'll be fine."

I guess we're the only ones who can do it. I can't fight. Everyone can do the service. I can't help thinking about it. It's a city inspection now. Let's look for and point out a problem that only the Japanese know about.

"So do I get paid?

Mizuki seems to be worried about money. All our living expenses are paid for by the state, and we get free money. They don't taste good, but they also serve meals. How about demanding more money afterwards?

"You've got enough. Where are you dissatisfied?

"You saw the clothes the Kokuns were wearing, didn't you?

The last time I saw Koh, he was wearing a lot more expensive clothes. It seemed like a better outfit than the noblemen I met. So was the girl who was with Koh, one of whom was worn out leather armor, but she said she was on her way home from training, so she must have been destroyed by training.

I was surprised to hear the price. We receive money from the state as a living expense. [M] But with that money, it was unlikely that I could buy it over the years. It's not clothes that high school students can buy.

Later on, the noblemen told me that the clothes the Kors wore were clothes they wore when there was a gathering of nobles and merchants. Clothing to protect yourself from assassins while making use of the design. So very expensive.

"Yeah. It wasn't good for me, but it was good stuff."

"I wonder if we can buy it too."

"If you work hard, you can buy it any day. Koh works hard as an adventurer, so he can buy stuff like that."

If you work hard, the results will follow soon, that's what I was taught. The result is not what you seek from yourself. If you work hard, someone will watch. So until then, you just have to stick with the grump.

"That's right. But if you're with Ko-kun, he can teach you how to work hard, can't he?

"There's no way to 'work hard'. I can't help looking for a shortcut. Real hard work is the most important thing."

Koh is a hard-working man. I have the downside of only trying to be interested in myself, but I'm amazed at that concentration. I'm sure you've been working a lot ever since you became an adventurer.

"Hmmm...... right?

That's what good always says, but when you look at Ko-kun, you feel different. "

Looks like Mitsui doesn't fall for anything.

"The same goes for Koh. We have to ignore his efforts."

"Of course I think you're trying, huh? But you don't look spicy at all, or you're supposed to be doing a lot of fun. It's just hard for me."

I felt this too. [M] Especially since I came to this world. I don't know the details, but the training Koh was undergoing seems to be fairly high-level.

I still can't have a meeting with a sword. Koh seemed to enjoy such training as well. Seems like he's already quite up in arms, and I've seen him happily talk to the Royal Castle soldiers about winning and losing.

I... I finally got to pretend the other day. I got a sword from the king because of it, but we're still ahead of us to be able to use it.

Even though it seems like a tough training at a high level, Koh always seems to enjoy it. Even though I get tired of looking after training, I still enjoy it somewhere.

"That's what characterizes the temperament of Coe and all that. I think I'm jealous too."

"That's right. Hmmm...... I knew I should have followed Ko-kun!

It's definitely more fun over there. There's plenty of girls out there. "

Miori has been talking about Koh for a long time now. If they scream out loud that it's better over there, even just me will get scratched. But the fact is that Koh seems to have more fun.

"You liked Coe?

"You didn't say that! I'm saying it's gonna be more fun over there!

Miori answered with a bright red face.

The last time I saw him, for some reason, there were a lot of girls around Koh. You weren't supposed to be hot at all in Japan. I wonder why.

"I'm sorry, I was just kidding. But I wonder why you're so hot."

"I think it's a little different than being hot... I mean, I can count on it, I can feel safe, like that.

Because Ko-kun avoids people, it's hard to get close to them in the classroom. "

Koh doesn't know people. On the contrary, he's a social person who can talk normally even in the first meeting. But I'm always doing something by myself, and it's hard to talk to you from here. And I'm not sure what I'm doing is too maniacal.

The book he used to read in the classroom was a drawing of a plant. Sometimes it was an animal drawing, sometimes it was a catalogue of blades (survival knives). Sometimes I was writing something while looking at the drawings. It's hard to talk to because I don't know what any of it means.

People in this country don't hesitate to talk to anyone, so I have the impression that Koh is talking very well in this country.

I want you to talk more to me, too, but I don't feel comfortable with us. When he is known to be an apostle, he is suddenly approached and distracted. The church people, who were casual talkers, were gone.

This visit might have been just fine because I only train when I'm in the royal castle now.

"Mr. Apostle. Wow. We'll be at the camp soon. I'm sorry, but you need to help me get ready for camp.

The carriage owner.

Camping? Coe would be happy, but I'm not too happy. I want to stay in the inn if possible. But I only have a carriage. I can't say luxury.

The place where the carriage stopped is a wide place with streams flowing nearby. He needed help, so he went down the carriage.

"I'm a little excited about camping."

Miori says with a smile. These places are firmer than mine.

I'm ready to get ready for camp, too. I have heard that the date of the visit is a few days. It's gonna be tough these past few days, but let's do our best.
