Chapter 5
Crystal Dyed in Black
Standing in front of the crystal .
I’m quite nervous .
It’s like you’re being assessed .
A sleek surface .
I put my hands closer .
“Gulp . . ”
I put the palm of my hand .
Pito~ tsu .
A faint light came to the surface .
A gentle light .
It can be said that it is weak .
The color is purple .
Gold and silver, black and white have a more special image .
Purple?
It’s the first color I’ve ever seen in my measurements .
Or rather, this .
Isn’t this light the weakest so far?
[Well, next person, please]
Goddess, no way…
From the first crystal measurement, there’s always been a comment .
There’s not even a word of mediocrity .
Are you kidding me?
[Um, my assessment–]
[Next person~!]
-was ignored .
It was decided not have one .
tobo tobo (T/N: plod plod)
I go back to where I was before .
An air mob .
Even in a different world, I’m still air .
Well, this is reality…
I can’t be special even when I came to another world .
There is nothing I can do .
This is me .
This is Mimori Touka .
It’s okay, like this .
An order exists .
Whenever .
Wherever .
I can’t help it .
The mediocre result continued after me for a while .
However, the result seems to have been better than me .
The goddess also commented with a smile .
Even though it’s mediocre .
The measurement was finally over .
[It looks like we have all the best in the first half~]
The goddess puts her hand on her cheek .
[But if there are three S-Ranks and two A-Ranks, it’s too good . I’m not going to hope too much~]
In the order of AIUEO .
Or Lines .
Next is the last in 2-C .
Yasu Tomohiro
Yasu puts his hand on the crystal .
I have a tremendous sense of tension .
[Go!]
A breathtaking relief .
It feels like you are entrusting your own future .
I feel like I believe in something at the same time .
The robed man’s face became sloppy .
[Wha~!? Th- This is-!?]
The crystal was dyed black .
Black smoke is rising up .
The smoke is being released from the crystal .
The robed man turned his eyes away .
[Goddess-sama! Th- This is–]
[Yes… There used to be someone with the same reaction . It was the same reaction as the strongest man who was called the Dark Hero… . ]
A smile slowly surfaced in Yasu’s face .
[Kukuku~] (T/N: raws say “ku hi~tsu . ”)
A compulsive laughter .
[It’s like a thought– it was about time . ]
Yasu’s face have changed .
Yasu absurdly asks the Goddess who still looks dignified .
[Let me know my rank, O Goddess!]
It’s not his usual Yasu where he speaks tediously .
The tone has changed .
The goddess answered .
[You are A-Rank . ]
[Hmm, same as Oyamada, huh . I thought the coolness is at the level of an S-Rank…]
An indignant Oyamada comes close to Yasu .
[Ah~ ha!? What is it~ Ah!? Yasu huh!? You bastard~ What the heck are you implying, mentioning my name like that!? Just because your results were a little good, you had the gall to say that, hah!? I’m alive right in front of you, hah!?]
Yasu got scared for a moment .
Is it because of the accumulated habits?
However, Yasu quickly smiled .
[The same, We’re already]
[Hah!?]
This time, Yasu comes close to Oyamada with a challenging face .
[Let’s get along as the same A-Rank . Na–]
Excitedly, Yasu said .
[Oyamada?]
[What kind of tone is that, hah! Yasu, you bastard, Imma kill you! You— Uh!?]
It was as fast as a blink of an eye .
In between the two she suddenly appeared, the goddess .
Something like a magic formation is on her arms .
She’s ready to launch her magic .
She’s giving off that kind of vibes .
[A-Rank heroes, please forgive me for scolding you . If it were but a quarrel, I will overlook it a little, but I’m not going to allow the heroes to fight each other seriously . ]
The goddess beamed .
[A-Rank heroes are valuable human resources . ]
Oyamada can’t move .
Yasu takes a step back .
Cold .
Chilly .
I feel shivers down my spine .
Is this just the goddess’ intimidation?
Or is this killing intent?
For example, in front of beasts, will people be like this?
I can’t move .
I don’t want to move .
[It’s alright now, isn’t it? Next, I’ll show you how to use power in this world . ]
