Chapter 8: You're Finally Awake!
Suddenly, the person who stood up to protest appeared.
It was Aiko-sensei.
"Please don't joke around! In the end, all you want is for these children to participate in a war! That kind of thing is absolutely out of question! En, as a teacher, I will absolutely not allow such a thing! Let us go back immediately! Surely, their families must be worried! What you are doing now is merely kidnapping!"
Aiko-sensei who was panting in anger was only 25 years old. She was a very popular social studies teacher. Her petite body was approximately 1.5 meters tall, she had a babyface, and her hair was done in a bob cut. The students couldn't refrain from smiling, recalling the figure of Aiko-sensei who was rushing about all over the place for their sake. Many students wished to protect her after seeing the work hard she did for her students, even though the majority of her efforts were in vain. The students except for me often called her Ai-chan, but if they called her as such in front of the person herself, she would get angry.
I really can't help agreeing with her. After all, this is a war between a civilization that has no correlation to us. We are the same human you ask? Are you sure our gene is 100% identical or even 99% identical? Even on our Earth, there are several types of humans like Homo Erectus that we eliminated in the fight between species a hundred of thousands of years ago.
In this kind of scene, I really want to try to scare the summoner by lying to whoever it is. We can make up some half-truth and half false about our civilization. Something, like we have interdimensional police and your act of summoning, is considered illegal and the act of them summoning us can be traced from the coordinate left in the summoning places.
We can also scare them by the power of our civilization like we can destroy an entire megacity with just a finger (nuke by pressing a button) and so on. I doubt that they will try to lie to us or do something to us as they don't want to have a war with our civilization.
Of course, the premise is if it is only a kingdom-level civilization. This place has a god which I don't think will be scared by that power and telling that is only making me be noticed by the opposite party.
With our sensei protesting, the students just watch it with a playful expression as they comment
"Ahh~ Ai-chan is trying her best again..." Some students were looking at Aiko-sensei talking back to Ishtar with a fuzzy feeling. However, the following words from Ishtar froze them.
"I understand how you're feeling. However... It is impossible for you to return now."
Silence filled the halls while I smirked at this. 'Why the heck do you believe in something as questionable as this? The first rule in being isekai'ed is to never trust your summoner! Of course, they never knew this.'
With the revelation, it was as if there was an ice-cold pressure pressing down on them. Then, everyone gazed at Ishtar with a questioning expression.
"I-impossible... W-what did you just say? If you can summon us, you should be able to send us back!?"
Aiko-sensei cried out loud.
"As I said earlier, it was Ehit-sama that summoned you. We humans do not have the ability to use magic that interferes with another world. Therefore, whether or not you can return is up to Ehit-sama to decide."
"T-that is..."
Aiko-sensei lost her strength and slumped down on the chair. The students in the surrounding area also started to make a ruckus.
"No way!? We really cannot go back anymore?"
"No! Anything but this, let me return!"
"Don't even joke about the war! What the hell!"
"Why, why, why..."
The students started to panic. On the other hand, only me and Hajime were pretty composed because we are Otaku. We had read about many situations like this before. As for Kousuke and Jugo? I think Kousuke is trying to restrain his laughter and happiness in these situations while Jugo also panics like the others as although he read about this in the novel, he is still not ready for this.
I can only think of this looking at their expression 'you're finally awake!'
When everyone except for three people was in a chaotic situation, Ishtar didn't have the intention to open his mouth to calm the masses, he only watched calmly. Of course, I tried to make a panicked expression on my face with my acting skills as being watched this early on is not beneficial to me.
Of course, not only Ishtar watched calmly, but I think he also has a hint of contempt behind that calm expression. Either Ishtar thinks why would they be unhappy to be selected by Ehit-sama or probably thinks that we are just a pawn for their war with demons.
When everyone was still panicking, Kouki stood up and slammed the table with a bang. At the same time, the students were astonished by the sound, they fixed their gaze on Kouki.
'Here it goes the 'hero speeches' that makes me speechless.'
When he confirmed that he had everyone's attention, Kouki began to talk.
"Everyone, it is meaningless to make so much ruckus in front of Ishtar-san. He also had no other choice... W-what I mean is, let's fight. It is a fact that the humans of this world are facing a crisis. Ignoring their pleas for help after knowing all this, I cannot do it. Moreover, since we were summoned here to save mankind, we may be able to return after this is all over... Ishtar-san, isn't that right?"
"That's right. Ehit-sama will definitely answer the wishes of the Saviors."
'Hahaha…. I need to restrain my laughter a lot with these two guys who look like they are partnering up. If I don't know that they are not, I can only think they are really a match in heaven!'
Ahem… Anyway, this shithead guy really likes to talk shit huh? Do you think saving mankind is an easy thing? Even if you want to help mankind, the way is not to put in some new soldier who never went to war, allowing more casualties. I called this crazy!
"We all have special powers right? I've indeed felt an unfathomable power surging up within me since coming to this world."
"En, that's right. Roughly, each of you should possess powers that are several times to a few dozen times more powerful than the people of this world."
"En, in that case, I'll fight. I'll save the people, and then we can all go home. Regardless of the world or everyone here, I will save them all!"
Kouki clenched his fist tightly as he made this kind of declaration, while pointlessly exposing shiny teeth. These shiny teeth are really making me think of that green suit guy who talks about youth all day...
However, just at this moment, his charismatic leadership finally took effect. The students who had given up all hope earlier gradually regained their calmness and vigor. They were looking at Kouki with sparkling eyes, that was the expression one would reveal when they found hope in despair. Half of the female students sent feverish glances at him.
"Ah damn, once you put it like that. It would be worrisome to let you go alone... I'll also fight."
"Ryutaro..."
"You are not the only one here... I can't watch this any longer... I'll fight too."
"Shizuku..."
"Eh, u-um, if Shizuku is going, I'll also try my best!"
"Kaori..."
The usual group of four was in favor of Kouki. After that, the rest of the classmates also expressed their approval and went with the flow while I and Kousuke just kept being silent which went unnoticed since I also took the lesson of hiding my presence with Kousuke.
Unlike everyone else, Aiko-sensei shouted "Noo~" with teary eyes, but her tears were powerless in the face of the mood set by Kouki.
'Poor sensei, She really is ignored by everyone else.'
As a result, the entire student body will be participating in the war. Perhaps the students did not truly understand what it meant to go to war. Perhaps it was a means to escape reality and prevent their minds from breaking apart.
While thinking these kinds of things and sneering at their choices, I can see that Ishtar reveals a smile akin to a devil at everybody's choices which were noticed by me and Hajime only. Other than that, I can also see how Ishtar was secretly observing Kouki while explaining the circumstances.
'Did he already know that Kouki will become a vessel? His looks are really like a girl looking at her boyfriend right now. This makes the small hair in my skin become erect while I get goosebumps looking at this scene.'
With that the meeting finally come to an end.
