I, Haruto Kuramoto, am living an ordinary high school life as usual.

"Good morning! ...Oh, no, he's here!"

"Hey, that guy is here."

"Oh no, there's an otaku. How gross!"

...Yes, this is my usual daily life. The reason it turned out like this is because I have two otaku traits: military otaku and anime otaku. My otaku hobbies repel those who are popular and make them think I'm weird, which results in being disgusted, talked behind my back, and excluded.

And the other day, they approached me and I told them to stop teasing me. Perhaps they didn't like that and they tried to attack me. However, since I had learned firearms and combat techniques from my mentor, who was a member of the Thai Navy Special Forces, I turned the tables on those who came at me and things ended up like this.

"That guy is reading a light novel again in the morning. Such an otaku."

"Hey, maybe he should just die?"

"Whatever."

"I wish he would just die."

"I understand that feeling."

They're deliberately saying it loud enough for me to hear. Although they stopped physically attacking me since I turned the tables on them, I wonder if they don't feel embarrassed saying these things out loud?

Isn't this what they call the howl of a loser dog? Moreover, everyone around me is saying the same things. How obsessed are those guys... Huh?

"Good day, Mr. Kuramoto. I wonder why you are here. Since you're bothering me, could you please disappear?"

Oh, there she is. Inose Masumi, a fallen noble lady. She failed the entrance exams twice for the prestigious high school and ended up here. Currently, she's been abandoned by her parents or something like that.

"Shall I explain it to you in simpler terms?"

"What is it?"

Let me say a word to this foolish noble lady.

"Why don't you transfer to that prestigious school after summer vacation? Well, whether you pass or not is only up to you."

Grrr!? She furrows her brows with a grinding sound, glaring at me. Really, she has a short temper. I can't help but be amazed.

"Besides, attending high school is a matter of personal choice, so it's up to me whether I go or not. Also, this isn't your company, right? Are you in a position to tell me to quit? If you keep doing things like this, you'll end up being criticized in some magazine again. Do you understand what you're doing? If that's the case, I can only call you an idiot."

Yes, the other day I revealed to a newspaper company that she was causing various troubles at this school. Actually, rather than presenting the facts, they sold it as a scandal and gave her social sanctions. Yet she still hasn't learned her lesson. This person is truly...

"And besides, your parents told you that they will disown you if you cause trouble again. Why are you trying to cause trouble? Are you an idiot?"

"Wha... Yes, that's right. Because of you, I was kicked out of my house and forced to live alone. My father and mother said to me, 'Why can't you be like your older siblings? I trusted you!' After being scolded like that, my father said, 'Maybe I spoiled you too much, and that's why it turned out like this. I'll prepare a room for you, so live alone until you graduate from high school!'... My father and mother treating me like this is just too cruel!"

Actually, her parents were decent people. After that scandal, their parents and siblings came to my house and apologized properly. But she didn't show any remorse, ignored them, and left saying, "I haven't done anything wrong!"...

"Sigh..."

"Why are you sighing?"

"Oh, it's nothing... I just thought your parents must be going through a lot."

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

I was about to explain it to her when I heard the sound of the bell ringing.

Tch! I haven't even finished reading the light novel I bought yesterday... Well, whatever. I can read it during break time or something.

"Get to your seats, I'm taking attendance!"

Ono Motohisa, the homeroom teacher, is completely useless to me. Why? Because he knows that bullying is happening in the class he is in charge of, yet he does nothing. Yes, he knows and turns a blind eye, thinking that as long as he himself is not affected, he can just handle it casually. He's a pathetic guy.

"Everyone, take your seats. Now... huh? What the hell is that?!"

The teacher exclaimed in surprise while looking up, so I also looked up and saw a mysterious image with countless characters written inside a large circle on the ceiling.

Projection mapping? No, that's not it! There's no way such clear projection mapping would be displayed in the brightness of the classroom! Then, could it be...?!

"What is this?"

"What on earth is this!?"

"Could this be... a transfer to another world? It's happening!"

"Huh? Damn it, the door won't open!"

Yes, before I knew it, a magic circle was drawn on the ceiling.

What?! No way... Is this for real!? Am I going to be transported to another world with these guys?

No, I don't want to! No, no, no! I'd rather be alone than be summoned to another world with these guys! In fact, just light novels about being transported to another world are enough!

Since the door and windows don't seem to open, um... maybe I should hold onto the edge of the blackboard and try to avoid being transported to another world! But can I really avoid it?

"Hey, don't push!"

"Just open it already!"

"Weren't you listening when I said the door won't open earlier?!"

"I'll open it, so move!"

"I'm going to become a hero... I'm going to save the world and create the harem of my dreams!"

...Someone's floating in the air, but let's ignore that. Wait, he was a kindred spirit?

In the meantime, the light intensified, and when it became too bright to open my eyes, I lost consciousness.

...Huh, where is this?

"This place? It's the Celestial Realm, the world where the gods reside."

The boy in front of me spoke while looking at me. It was so sudden that I honestly got startled.

I guess this kid is a god. I suppose he's going to give me some kind of power and be done with it.

'Oh great, so I resisted only to be transferred to another world along with those guys.'

"That's right! I want you to become a hero and save the world! Well, that's what I'd like to say, but your situation is a bit different."

What does he mean? Wait, is he reading my mind? Because he's a god?

"It seems like you don't understand your current state."

My current state? Come to think of it, I feel light... like I'm floating. Is it because I have a fever?

"No, that's not it. You see, you're dead."

Huh? What are you talking about? I'm alive and well... What!?

I tried to touch my chest, but I couldn't feel anything. In fact, I don't even have the sensation of moving my arms.

"Finally realized, huh? Yes, you died due to a failed transfer."

No waaaaaaaay!!
