Chapter 1 Please Explode
Hello, everyone I hope you like this new work...
8:08 am. It's a 15-minute ride to the nearest station. I take this bus every weekday.
The drivers on the route I take from this bus company are particularly hit-or-miss, and when they miss, their driving gets rough. Especially the brake, it's so harsh that I feel like I might get whiplash, no mercy at all. There have been rumors that there might be an accident someday, and it's even famous on social media.
I get on from the first bus depot. It's a relief that I can always get a seat. At the very least, I can spend a better 15 minutes than standing and holding the strap.
I go in from the boarding door and head towards the back. It's a bench seat layout, second from the back on the right side. I sit by the window with a heave-ho.
After sometime, the bus leave the depot and stop at the second bus stop. There are three people who always get on at the same time. A tall boy who looks like a high school student. Two girls who are a bit shorter than the boy. They look so alike, maybe they are twins?
The three of them always sit in the last seats. Not on my side, but on the other side. One of the girls tries to sit on my side, but the boy sits on the left side, so I move a little bit and sit with him. Usually, the girls sandwiching the boy between them. But today he was sitting on the right side, right behind me, which I thought was unusual.
I thought, 'Is the boy a model for a magazine?' After all, the shape of his face is so well-shaped. The girls are absolutely cute. Maybe childhood friends? It's like an old romantic comedy manga or light novels. Every time I meet him, I curse him in my heart, telling him to explode.
Anyway, is it because it's Friday? I feel sleepy even in the morning. I was feeling dizzy and fighting sleepiness. But if I overslept, I won't be able to get off at the transfer station, and at worst, I'll have to run back. That's why I can't sleep. Don't give up, I have tomorrow off.
Besides, when I returned to my room, the beer cans were cold in the refrigerator. I'm sure there was some thick bacon as well. Fry it crispy in a frying pan and pour it over with beer. Then I'll play an MMO (online game) until morning.
In the world of MMOs (over there), my gaming friends are waiting for me to come. Even though I may be a bit of a loner outside, I have many online gaming friends, you know? It may not seem like it, but it's true.
Well, even if it seems like I'll be late at worst, there's a business hotel nearby with WiFi, so I can just buy some drinks and snacks and use the weekend plan to stay overnight. I also have a UMPC (notebook computer) in my bag, so I can play MMOs without going home.
It was when I was thinking about the enjoyment of the weekend like that. I suddenly felt a tremendous vibration and heard a sound like something hitting with a 'thud'. This reckless driver, 'Did they finally get into an accident?' I looked at the driver's seat, but it was pitch black in front of me and I couldn't see anything.
At the same time, I felt a creepy floating sensation. Before I knew it, there was no floor where I could stand firmly. When I thought, 'What the heck is this?' I felt a sense of falling that I could experience on a roller coaster or bungee jumping.
I was already falling when I thought 'I'm falling.' When I hit the ground, I landed in a three-point stance—a so-called superhero landing. I didn't aim for it, I just happened to fall that way.
The impact hit my right wrist, right ankle, and hips. From my fists, knees, and the soles of my feet, I felt an unpleasant, mushy sensation. Perhaps due to the poor footing or the lack of stability, I ended up rolling backwards.
When I got up, there was a strange object in front of me. Upon closer inspection, it seemed to be a half-moon-shaped cut-out, perhaps from the back seat of a bus? But the seat I was sitting in was nowhere to be found. Furthermore, the mushy sensation I felt earlier turned out to be the back of an elderly man. I mean, I... I'm sorry.
Including the driver, there should have been about ten people, but here, there were only four of us—me, a boy, and two girls. The person lying at my feet was not the driver. He was wearing a strange, unfamiliar outfit.
At first glance, it seems like all three of them are okay, but when I thought they were just unconscious, I couldn't bear the pain anymore, and my consciousness started to fade away...

"...Uncle. Uncle."
A girl's voice calling me? There's a good smell of something. Ah, it's probably the smell of one of the two girls. Talk about being left out, huh? Please explode, you lovey-dovey couple.
"Not waking up, huh? Maybe you want a kiss? Just kidding. Ahahaha."
'What kind of galgame is this?' That's what I thought, and then my eyelids flicked open. What the heck is this?
"...An unfamiliar ceiling?"
"Oh, I know that. It's the one often seen in anime and manga, right?"
"It's one of those lines I want to say."
"Hey?"
"Rather, where is this place?"
I sat up with a little effort, and it's a hospital? No, it looks like a room in a hotel.
"Oh, good. You've woken up. 'Uncle'."
Wait, the boy, who used to be considered handsome (a dated term)!
"I'm sure he's fine. I overheard he mumbling in his sleep, 'I hope the popular kids explode.' Right, 'Uncle'?"
And then there's the girl with a slightly longer bob and braids on the right side, wearing glasses like a class representative. Seriously? I said that on my sleep... I wish I could disappear into a hole.
"Anyway, 'Unfamiliar ceiling' wasn't half bad, either. Right, 'Un... cle'?"
And there is a girl who just woke me up, with braids on the left side and no glasses.
But still, calling me an 'Uncle' three times in a row. Even if I consider these girls to be between 15 and 18 years old, they're only about half my age, being 31. Well, it can't be helped if they call me 'Uncle'.
"Hey, hey, Asaya-kun (朝也). There's no reception here, and the WiFi isn't working."
"Yeah, that's right. When Asa-chan was sleeping, Mahiru-chan (麻昼) and I were spinning around with our phones in the room, but it didn't work out."
"Mmm, I see, Maya-chan (麻夜)."
The boy is Asaya, the girl with glasses on the right is Mahiru, and the girl without glasses on the left is Maya. Morning (朝), noon (昼), and night (夜), huh? A typical childhood friend template, huh? Please explode, you lovey-dovey couple.
"Hey, Uncle. What's your name?"
"Oh, me? I am——"
Just as I was about to introduce myself, the door to the room opened. A woman who looked to be around 20 years old, dressed like an elderly man that I had stepped on, entered. What was it? She gave off a vibe like a receptionist at a fancy beige-colored hotel.
"Pardon me. I heard you were awake——huh? There are four of you? But I heard the 'hero' was only three..."
H-Hero? Is she talking about the hero from manga, light novels, or anime? So, does that mean this whole accident or whatever it is, is a 'hero summoning'? No, is it 'transported to another world'?
Asaya-kun and Mahiru-chan looked bewildered, but Maya-chan (the girl without the glass) was different.
"Wow, I've been summoned to another world! I'm the chosen hero!"
She's so excited that she's clenching her fists and thrusting her arms upward. She's is really intense, isn't she If I were closer in age to her, we might have become friends.
The woman from earlier went outside for a bit, and when she came back, she was accompanied by a young man around the same age. He was holding some kind of strange item, like a tablet but much larger, or maybe a resin board? I couldn't quite make it out.
"This 'world' is different from the one you were in before."
Oh, I've read various manga and light novels about other worlds, so I have some knowledge about it. Thanks to Maya-chan's enthusiastic reaction, I can look at it objectively.
And right now, I have restraints on my wrists, ankles, and of course, my neck. Asaya-kun, Mahiru-chan, and Mayu-chan seem to have them too.
So, there are Good Situation World Transport and Bad Situation World Transport. At least for now, it doesn't seem like the latter atmosphere. Still, I can't let my guard down though.
"Of course, it's different from the rules in your world, magic exists."
"Novel-like development, here it comes—"
Maya-chan has her mouth covered by Asaya-kun's palm, and she's mumbling. Asaya-kun looks at her with an apologetic expression. Still, all three of them seem like good kids. But I won't say I'm jealous, okay? Please let the lovey-dovey couples explode.
