Kou 1 Desu ga Isekai de Joushu Hajimemashita Volume 1 Chapter 1 part1

The relentless heat had covered all over Japan.

It is also as hot as 30 degrees Celsius in Kiriumi City since 9 in the morning.

It became lunch and it showed its fury even more.

Even the two floored club house build at the back of Doushinen High's school courtyard was being sizzled by the heat and might even have mirage.

Since it is the summer vacation where there are no students that can be seen, the reason why the first floor's room 101 is opened is because it is the Middle-age Research Club's activity day.

In that space that is about 3-tatami-mats, there is a dreary gray table and a four-legged folding chair.

An armor that seems to be home-made, a long thin cone and a pointed middle-ages hat.

There are also books about middle-ages written by authors like Huizinga or Fernand Braudel aligned in a gray steel shelf.

The reason why there is an Elf Poster mixed within the refined academic textbooks is probably because Souichirou brought it.

Large breasts and blonde is Souchirou's favorite.

It would be perfect with big and pointed ears added to that.

Kiyokawa Hiroto had only arrived at this room one minute before 1 o'clock.

His school regulated black pants, and white shirts were drenched with sweat as well.

Hiroto took out his smart phone and checked his mail.

There is no message from Souichirou.

Hiroto drank a high carbonic water while he cooled his neck with a wet towel.

He spread out his copy of 『The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People』 open.

It is a best seller business book that sold more than twenty million copies in the world.

It is one of the most famous self-enlightenment books in the world.

He heard a sound from outside when he started to read the last chapter.

"That book again huh."

A 180 cm tall first-year high school student with glassesーーone who looks good wearing a laboratory coat, was standing there full of sweat.

Souda Souichirouーーhe is in the same First Year B-Group class with Hiroto.

He represented the freshmen and read the ceremonial address during the school's entrance ceremony.

In short, he is the top within the new students.

He is holding a thin paper bag from a second-hand bookstore and a plastic bag.

"Do you want to become a president of a company or something?"

Souichirou looked at Hiroto with a gaze of disdain.

"I just thought it would be interesting standing above people."

"There's no way you can do that."

Souichirou spat out and threw the result sheet on top of the table.

The number 1 column is highlighted with a highlighter pen.

There is Souichirou's name is marked there.

"I'm first again."

He bragged.

"That's amazing."

"Your name isn't there."

Souichirou intentionally emphasized.

"Those who can't even enter the rank 30 is an idiot. There is no way that morons could become a president of a company. Keio University has the most presidents within the listed companies on the stock exchange, next is Tokyo University, Waseda University. There's no way that someone your level will become a president of a company."

He spat out his best poison tongue just as usual.

"I think that being a president and studying is different though."

"What's the difference between them?!!"

Towards Souichirou who snapped at him,

"Studying is outputting various kinds of information accurately at a short time right? I think that being a president, is thinking of how to manage the company, or things like how to mobilize the employees."

Hiroto answered.

"You're always rebutting people like that."

"You're saying something wrong after all."

"You quibbler."

"Yareyare", Hiroto thought.

Souichirou always taunts his opponent saying "don't quibble" every time he gets argued down.

He has not changed since we played with my little sister during elementary school.

I'm sure that he is full of complaints.

When Souichirou gets stressed, he would always open his poisonous mouth to Hiroto.

Souichirou put his bag on top of the working table and sat facing Hiroto.

He took out two carton apple juices from the plastic bag and placed one in front of Hiroto.

Hiroto immediately drank Souichirou's juice.

The clubhouse where only two men were around was somewhat shabby.

"Won't Souichirou become a president of a company?"

When Hiroto asked that,

"I prefer to become a college professor, something like becoming a salaryman; I'll flatly refuse that."

"But, they also say that colleges are insular you know. They also say that the human relationship there is limited to about 10 people like professors, associate professors, assistant teachers, and graduate students, and they say that you can't earn much until you become at least an assistant professor. Also, the lecturers from other colleges live from hand to mouth."

"Who knows when you're going to get caught with a company's restructuring if you enter one now. And if your performance drops, you will be passed to sales."

"Most college lecturers also have one-year contracts, and it seems to be difficult to become an assistant professor somewhere."

"Don't break a person's dream."

"You should just simply enter a company and go to overseas divisions."

"No way. Overseas divisions right now will be to China or India right? I prefer Europe. That's why I entered the Middle-ages Research Club in the first place. Although, it seems like Europe was a backward nation during the middle ages."

Souichirou curled his mouth with a proud look.

"The sanitary system seems to be the worst, and they didn't have China or Islam's sophisticated bureaucracy and regular troops at that time. Because Europe had only organized their regular army and bureaucracy when they had an absolute monarchy. Up until then, they did not have a regular army and gathered mercenaries every time wars occur. They only had militias from Napoleon's time."

"How's that, you don't know that right?", Souichirou looked at Hiroto with a proud face.

"And then, you like blonde haired onee-chans?"

"Shut up."

Souichirou puts the paper bag where the second-hand bookstore's name is printed.

"Is that, blonde hair nee-chan's DVD?"

"Fuck that."

"Elf's poster?"

Souichirou did not answer and pulled out a transparent plastic bag.

It was an old piece of paper inside.

It is quite yellow.

There is a map written on top of it.

"What's this?"

"Can't you tell?"

Souichirou said with a ridiculing voice.

"It's a parchment."

"Parchment?"

"It was sold in a second-hand bookstore called Kaikoudou. Chances are, this might be a real one."

It looks like he wanted to say that it is a real Europe's middle ages map.

Souichirou took out the parchment from the plastic bag.

He spread it on top of the gray desk.

And after that, he traced the map with his finger.

"Look here. 「ＥＬＦ」 is written in middle ages' font."

"Isn't that a fake? Why is it singular? Wouldn't you normally write 「ＥＬＶＥＳ」 in plural?"

"「ＨＹＢＲＩＤＥ」is written here."

"Hybrid?"

"Hybride! It's German."

"Isn't that fake after all."

It was an instant after Hiroto pointed that out.

There was no wind, but the room's door closed with a huge sound.

Following that, they could hear that it was locked.

The two of them looked towards the closed door.

It was a strange feeling.

It was a feeling as if something came when you were doing a spirit session.

(Did someone closed the door?)

Souichirou stopped Hiroto who was about to stand up with the back of his voice.

The table started to emit light like a magnesium that reacted suddenly.

"W-What's, this?!!"

Souichirou was almost panicking.

"W-What? Some kind of trick?"

Hiroto picked up the parchment and looked at its back.

The next instant, the light that the map released swallowed the twoーーeverything in the room.

The surroundings, their heads, it was dyed white.

They were about to get swallowed by the light, but it was not blinding.

Their visions gradually turned to white with their eyes openedーーand lost their consciousness.
