Chapter 52 The Disappointing Hero Is One Of A Kind
Princess Flora!
Oh, you came to see me because you were worried about me!
That's not it at all.
There's no way that's it.
Why is Princess Flora here?
How did she get here? That's one thing, but I'm more suspicious than happy.
It's because of what happened when I left that world.
I groped the goddess's chest.
I really squeezed it.
And on top of that, she said things that seemed to know my situation.
From that, I guessed that the princess was somehow influenced by that perverted goddess.
After all, the saint is the apostle of the goddess.
For now, I activated, "Personal Information Disclosure" in a low voice.

===
What's this?
I've never seen the notation 'Address - Undefined [Logout state]' before....
In the special notes, I'll secretly tap on the skill details.
At the bottom of the lined-up skills, there's a notation that catches my attention.
[Holy Magic IV][Body Enhancement II]
[Experience Gain Increase III][Sacred Area Creation IV]
[History Knowledge IV][Prayer V]
[Deception Detection II][Thought Speed Enhancement III]
[Granting Titles IV][Soul Summoning IV]
[Illusion Magic IV][Event Manipulation V]
[Goddess Revelation V]
Goddess's Oracle.
She must be receiving some advice from the goddess after all....
But what catches my attention is still 'Logout state.'
'Princess Flora, it's been a while. It's sudden, but... do you recognize the term 'Logout state'?'
'Logout state? No, I don't really understand.'
Hmm.
Maybe I should ask an expert.
"Shibuya-san, she is Princess Flora. She was in the world where I was summoned...do you know what 'logged out state' means?"
"Logged out state!?"
Shibuya-san is surprised and looks at the other three staff members.
They seem to know something.
"Hey, Higashimura-san, where did you get that information from?"
"Uh...well, never mind. I can tell some things about the other person. When I appraised Princess Flora, it said 'logged out state'"
"I see...sorry to keep asking, but do you know anything about the 'goddess'?"
"Huh? What do you mean, know anything? Didn't we all get called by her?"
As soon as I answered, the three of them changed their expressions.
"No way...this guy is!"
"I get it, that's why he's so strong..."
"Wow, wow! I didn't think I'd ever meet him!"
Nada-san, Shibuya-san, and Yoda were all surprised.
Then, Shibuya-san looked like he was thinking about something....
"Excuse me, I have something to tell Higashimura-san. About the 'other world' we went to."
"Director, is that okay?"
"Yes. I think Higashimura-san is...a trustworthy person."
No, Shibuya-san.
I don't want you to trust me like that.
"Why do you think that?"
He nodded at my question.
"The exchange on the rooftop... if Higashimura-san wanted to, I would be dead. He didn't have to kick me into the sky, he could have kicked me to the next building and I would die. That means Higashimura-san is not someone who kills people for no reason."
Yes, that's right.
But I killed Takashi twice.
"Normally, it would be easier for you to kill us and cover it up. But you warned us once, and you're still dealing with us. That's why I trust you. More than anything..."
"More than anything?"
"It's my intuition that I felt from you when you were talking about Yanashima-san."
"I see."
"So...can you please delete the picture of Nada-kun's panties?"
"No way."
"Come on, just delete it."
Nada-san groaned with half-closed eyes, but I ignored her.
"Sorry Yoda-kun, I borrowed a meeting room from the prefectural police."
"Okay."
"Higashimura-san, I'll tell you the details there."
"Got it."
Princess Flora was watching our exchange with a smile, even though she probably didn't understand what we were saying.
She was still beautiful.
And I didn't want to doubt her, after she helped me so much....
But I had just been betrayed by the woman I loved most.
So I had to be careful.
"Director, I got the meeting room."
"Thank you. Then Higashimura-san, let's go."
We all went to the meeting room.
Princess Flora came along too.
When we sat down, Shibuya-san started to talk.
"Higashimura-san. What I'm going to tell you is a guess we made, from the stories of the people who came back. It might be wrong, so please understand that."
"OK, I understand."
"First...we think that the other world is a kind of 'game world'."
"Game world?"
"Yes. This is the 'other world = game guess'. Many countries think this way too...Do you know a lot about games, Higashimura-san?"
"Well, a little bit."
"Then, do you know the software called 'RPG Maker'?"
"I know it. You can make your own RPG...right?"
"That's right. And we thought that different worlds were some kind of game worlds created by 'supernatural beings' using 'the same tools and templates'."
"Hmm, that sounds like a crazy story."
"Yes. But, first of all, what we know is that there are many different worlds. Nada, Yoda, and I went to different worlds."
"I see, I see."
"But, even though they were different worlds, there were many things in common. First, the worlds were modeled after medieval Europe. We called them 'Naroppa world group' because they were 'kind of like Europe'."
"Naroppa, huh? Got it." (T/N: a Japanese neologism created by combining "なろう系" (naroukei) and "ヨーロッパ" (Yoroppa). "なろう系" refers to a genre of amateur novels characterized by protagonists who are transported to or reborn in another world, and "ヨーロッパ" means Europe)
"And another thing, a big thing that was common..."
"'Skills', right?"
"Yes, that's right. Even though they were different worlds, the names of the skills were the same."
It is true, it is very strange that the names of the skills are the same.
If it is a game, for example, even if you take one healing magic, the name is different in Dragon Quest as "Heal" and in Final Fantasy as "Cure".
This is probably because they found out that the skill names are common from the information they collected from these three people and other returnees.
"This is the reason why it is estimated that different worlds were created using the same tool."
"Template different world Naroppa, I see."
"And we are 'summoned' and we are 'players' who were called to this game world."
"I see. So, as a reward for clearing the game, you get skills and items from different worlds."
"You are quick to understand. And from here ... probably each different world has a 'difficulty' setting."
"Is that so?"
"Yes. According to the information we collected, probably the world where I and Nada were summoned has a 'hard mode' difficulty, and Yoda-kun has a 'normal' or 'easy' difficulty."
"Wow...so I'm in hard mode too?"
"No"
"?"
"Actually, there's more to it... Nada, Yoda, and I come from worlds that share a common myth. 'The creation by the goddess'. We worship the goddess as the creator... but we were summoned by a male god or a ritual by the locals"
"...so you haven't met the goddess?"
"Yes. That's why we thought this. Maybe this goddess is the one who made the 'otherworld maker'. And the word 'log out' before strengthened this 'otherworld=game hypothesis', we think."
"..."
"So Higashimura-san, if our hypothesis is right, you are in——"
Shibuya-san closed his eyes once, swallowed his saliva, and then opened his eyes again and told me.
"A game created by the tool creator herself... You're the only 'achiever' who has cleared 'Highest Difficulty // (Hell Mode)', which we had only guessed existed."
Hello, we have a new project about someone who has returned from an isekai. The main character is a hero who has defeated the Demon Lord. However, for some reason, the human-demon war has resumed and will take place in the MC's original world. The MC, unaware of this, meets a Saint from that world and asks them to join the war. But what does the MC say? They refuse. Is it because their love was rejected by the princess when they adventured together in the past or are they simply fed up? And are the MC will join later?
