Chapter 2 Episode 4

(The despair of those who are being summoned 4)

Day 64 after being summoned to another world, evening

"U...unn..." 

Ryouma woke up on the bed when the evening sky began dominating the day. 

"Uh... *Yawn*" 

A big yawn leaked out of Ryouma's mouth. 
The first thing that reflected on Ryouma eyes is the broken door. 
The door is completely broken, and the light from the corridor entered the room. 
Next, he was curious about his current position. 
Somehow for some reason, he ends up on the bed. 

*Pun* 

A delicious fragrance inviting his appet.i.te entered his nose. 
The smell of stew drifts from the opened broken door. 
It seems that meals are being served in the cafeteria downstairs.  
The broken door, and how he ended up on the bed, there are many things that he has a question about; however, he cannot win against his hunger. 
After wearing his get up, he went downstairs. 

"Oh! Did you wake up already!?" 

The innkeeper greets Ryouma. 
The innkeeper raises his head at the receptionist desk. 
Apparently, he was doing the book register as well. 

"Ah, Thank you. Good morning..." 

Except at the time he was checked in, the inn owner is rarely talked to Ryouma. 

"Because the repair cost has been paid by those girls that you brought together. You don't have to worry." 

Ryouma answered the innkeeper with a puzzled expression. 

"Ah... I see, so you're not aware huh? If that's the case, then you should ask those girls for the details. After all, for your sake, those girls broke the door." 

"Haa..." 

Ryouma who still could not grasp the situation can only answer ambiguously. 

"Well, other than that, you don't have to worry about anything, since you've reimbursed the damage. Do you want to move to another room tonight? I will move all of your baggage if you want to." 

It seems he has no choice other than to move to another room. 
After all, although he feels sorry, he can't sleep with a broken door. 

"I understand." 

"Ah right, you have not eaten since last night right?...  Since my wife just finished making a stew, go bring some to your room." 

And then he called his wife in the kitchen. 

"Yes yes! You don't have to shout that loud!" 

The wife comes out from the kitchen while bringing a tray in her hand. 
It seems like she has prepared everything while listening to their conversation. 

"Here!" 

A tray is being handed over to Ryouma simultaneously with a lively voice. 
The scent of tasty stew stimulates his appet.i.te. 
The hot freshly baked bread. 
However, Ryouma felt confused. 
It was because there is three worth of meals being put on the tray. 
The stew that is poured into a big serving is definitely for Ryouma. 
But, what the other two serving for? 

*Doga* 

Suddenly Ryouma's right foot s.h.i.+n was get kicked. 

"You. Those are for the young ladies share!" 

He has a body with 190cm of height and weight that cross over 100kg. 
It's not a body that usually gets kicked by a woman on the s.h.i.+n, but, he

was still surprised for getting kicked. 

"You! Have you thought for a moment how you'd troubled those girls huh? you big guy." 

It seems like she does not like Ryouma expression. 

"I don't know what you've been up to, having your appearance look different at the time you're returned, not eating dinner nor the late night meal... If you don't want to eat, then that's your problem! However, because you did not eat, those girls can't afford to eat by themselves either you know?" 

"Eh? They have not yet eaten?" 

The complexion on Ryouma's face changed. 

"Haa. This is why men are such... You listen! It's about time for those girls to wake up! Go take this tray and eat together!" 

She returns back toward her kitchen while heaving a big sigh and shaking her head. 

"Well, That is what it means not being alone. I don't know what you're worried about, however, if you think too much, you will lose another precious person." 

After saying that, the inn owner clapped Ryouma's shoulder and returned to the account book once again. 

(I'm...) 
The words of the married couple stuck within Ryouma's mind. 
Ryouma remembered that he has been traveling solely for the purpose of returning home to Earth; however, it was that moment when he was strongly conscious of being supported by Sara and her sister all the time.  

(It seems like I'm not paying attention toward my surrounding...)

For Ryouma, this world is nothing but pain. 
Ryouma who was forcibly summoned cannot love this world. 
Rather, Ryouma hated this world. 
Naturally, the people of this world as well. 
However, Ryouma was always being supported by human beings of this world which he supposedly hates.  
If one's to recall, not just the lady in the restaurant at the Imperial capital, but the receptionist at the guild as well. 
They taught Ryouma various things which he does not know. 
Different things... 
That is what we call relation between people. 
After all, a person cannot live by themselves. 
No matter how much one hates the world, that is the truth which cannot be changed. 

*KonKonKon* 

"Yes. Please enter..." 

Ryouma entered the room of the two sisters.

That day, the meals Ryouma ate together with the sisters feels like the most delicious food he ate since coming to this world.
