Prologue: Team Assignments “You ready?”

“Yes.”

“Sheesh. Could you have come from a more inconvenient place?” I grumbled.

Due to a particular string of events, I was currently in the process of getting

ready to depart for a certain country. It had all started when . . . When had it

started again? I wanted to say it was when I had Raphtalia change into a miko

outfit in this world, but I had a feeling it actually went back a lot further than

that. Either way, I was going to avoid taking any responsibility and say it wasn’t

my fault.

I guess I should start with a little bit of background. My name is Naofumi

Iwatani. I was originally a university student living in Japan, but for various

reasons I ended up getting summoned to another world to serve as the Shield

Hero. That new world functioned a lot like a game. People had levels and could

gain experience to level up by defeating monsters. The system made it easy to

see the results of one’s hard work.

The reason the people of this world summoned me here was because they

wanted me to fight against what they called “waves,” a phenomenon that was

threatening to destroy their world. Getting summoned to a parallel universe felt

like a dream come true in the beginning. But the country I’d been summoned to

was simply rotten and I got caught up in the middle of several big conspiracies. I

hate to admit it, but I ended up with a completely warped personality as a

result. Just thinking about that stuff made me depressed.

“Can you blame us for coming here? The Seaetto territory here in Melromarc

actually welcomed vagrant demi-humans, after all,” Sadeena replied.

“My birth is the real problem here, isn’t it?” Raphtalia said quietly with a hint

of regret in her voice.

Raphtalia was the girl who’d become my first companion after I was

summoned to this world. In the beginning, I bought her as a slave to make her

fight for me, since I had no way of attacking on my own. But we’d been through

a lot together since then, and now she was my trusty sidekick. She was also kind

of like a daughter to me.
