Prologue
“— Welcome, heroes. To our world!”A loud voice echoed from above.
I slowly opened my eyes.
Before me was... an awe-inspiring throne room.Tall columns, walls gleaming in gold,and a red carpet leading up to a high throne.Seated upon it was a man wearing a crown.Surrounding him were shining knights and wizards draped in cloaks.
And around me...
My classmates. The teachers.
Some nervously glanced around,others clung to their friends,while some were already in a state of panic.
…Summoned to another world?
Ah, right.This is that cliché, the kind of plot you see in cheap light novels.
“Is this... a dream?”
“Did we... really get summoned to another world?”
Trembling voices filled the air.Some were crying.The teachers tried to calm them, but even they couldn’t hide the fear in their eyes.
Should I feel joy?Or should I be terrified?
No.I looked at my hands.They were shaking.But not from fear.
It was from laughter.It started quietly.Then, it grew louder.
“Ha... Hahaha...”
The sound spread, drawing the attention of those around me.
“Hey, what’s wrong, Nagi?”
Someone called out to me.
I slowly raised my head.
And a smile crept onto my face.
“Haha. You all just don’t get it, do you? This is paradise.”
