I remember that day very well.
　I was on my way home from the convenience store, buying some chicken and soy milk, more important than life.

"Hey!　Do you believe in God?
What?

　A man dressed in a rather high-strung and flamboyant outfit blocked my path while wiggling.
　He's wearing a silk hat and tailcoat. He's a guy who looks dangerous, brandishing a walking stick and all.

No, I'm an atheist.
'What?　I shouldn't do that.

　To my curt reply, the man in the silk hat blurts out, "To tell you the truth, I'm a god.

"As a matter of fact, I'm God.

　What, you're just an idiot.
　It's a terrible thing to be a religious recruiter.

　I had that look on my face, and I thought so.

"I've got to go,

　I told him so and tried to avoid the man without a word.
　Now that I think about it, I should have eaten the chicken here, no matter how forcefully.
　The thing is that ... that godd*mn god had that evil grin on his face.



"I'll make it easy for you to believe in him. There's no other way for you to--



...or is it just another one of your dreams?

　I can't tell you how many times I've seen this.

'Oh, crap!　Now that I remember, I'm getting pissed off again!

　I turned my head around to hit a random object.
　Finally, I realized that this wasn't the inn where we stayed last night.

'Oh, yes!'
Success!　Success!

　There were old men wearing suspicious hoods around me.
　I had a bad feeling and looked at the ground, but there was a magic circle.

"Not again!

　The old man, dressed in his most pompous outfit, walks up to me with his head in his hands.
　And he said, as usual, "O hero of another world, save us!

"Brave men of another world, save us!

　........yeah.
　I am an otherworldly tripper.



　This is all because of that d*mn god.

"You are destined to be an otherworldly tripper, traveling to every world that isn't here!
"f*ck you!　My will!
No!

　After this kind of exchange with a f*cking god, I had to keep wandering the other world.
　No seriously, I don't know what fate or anything else means.
　I want my days of happiness with convenience store chicken and soy milk back.

I'm sure you're not going to be able to get away with it. Do you listen to me?

　Oh, that's okay.
　Even if you don't listen to it, you can't help but overhear the same part.

Oh, I'm listening to you. I'm listening to you.
Hey, you!　You're in the presence of the King!

　I peck at my ears, and a nearby knight gasps.

'Heh heh.'

　The knight's face turned red at the mock reply, but he ignored it.
　The knight's teeth made a sharp noise as he huffed the earwax from his fingers.
　The king hurriedly interrupted him.

''Our people have also lost their lives to many demons!
Oh, so?
I want you to take down the Demon King Akdar.

　A pompous old man has led me to the audience room and I'm currently listening to what the king has to say.
　To be honest, it's a pain in the ass, but if I don't listen to what he has to say, I can't decide what to do afterwards, so I try not to lose my temper when I'm summoned to another world.

　...Well, as I expected, it's about defeating the Demon King.
　This is 90% of the time when the summoner calls me a hero.
　To tell the truth, defeating the Demon King is one of the easiest cases I'm summoned to.
　All you have to do is knock the demon king down without asking any questions, and your job is done.

"Well, it's fine. I'll do it. Exterminate the Demon King.
Oh, will you do it, my brave man?

　The king was in a good mood at my reply, but the reaction of the people around me was not so good.
　Since I didn't use respectful words to the king throughout, the minister and the knights of the Kingsguard are twitching and twitching their cheeks.
　I'm conceding enough to just use polite language.

''So?　What parting gift will you give to the brave man who slays the Demon King?
Hey, you!　Come on!

　The knight who just came in front of me, exercising his natural rights, lunged at me.
　It seems that the disrespect to the king has gone beyond the limits of this guy.

''Huh........''

　I can't help but sigh.
　There are definitely people like that.

What should I do?

　The knight finally pulled out his sword with a grin.
　Oh,oops, do you want to take out Hikarimon all of a sudden? The boiling point is low.
　It's in the middle of your home.

This is for you, Sir Zanaheim!
'No, I'm running out of patience, my king!　Please give me permission to cut this man down!

　Hmmm, finally, I'd say the king is more decent than I thought.
　One of the reasons he readily agreed to defeat the Demon King is that he didn't snap at my attitude until the end.
　Well, maybe he was calm because he sensed that his subordinates were losing their temper instead, but even so, I've seen a lot of idiot kings get angry with their subordinates.
　In case you're wondering, maybe this knight is also doing his part by getting angry on behalf of the king.

''O king, there's no way this kind of little boy is a brave man!　Why don't you just summon me again!

　Pfft.

........... Don't go rattling around, you little fish.
What?

　........This guy said something he shouldn't have said in front of me.

Listen, you trash knight. Summoning someone is the same as kidnapping. It means that you take someone with no connection to this world and use them for your own purposes. You can't solve your own problems by yourself, so the king, who should be guiding the people you love and respect, decides to do something stupid like that.

　I could see the king biting his teeth as if he'd bitten down on a bitter worm.
　He seemed to be self-aware.

'Why should I pay respect to a king like that? I'd rather get down on my knees and ask him for help than the king hunched over there. Huh?　You can't understand that, so the only thing you can do is summon me in a cheap way to summon me to an alternate world.

　The king didn't say anything back, as if he had an idea of what we were saying.
　But the face of the knight in front of me has gone past red and turned bright blue. He's sweating weirdly out of anger.

It's a good thing that you're not the only one who's suffering. Or do you want to team up with the Demon Lord and destroy you all?　I wouldn't mind that for the first time.

　Yeah, I don't care.
　Even if I let the Demon Lord unite all the other worlds, I can still fulfill my vow.
　In fact, there are worlds that have destroyed humanity with it.

　The audience room was quieted by my declaration.
　But it was only for a moment.

'I've never been so humiliated in my life!　I can't take it anymore!
No, Zanaheim!

　Finally, Zana, or some other knight, snapped.
　You can't even hear the king's restraint as he swings down the sword in his hand.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about it. I'm sure this is just too much for you to handle.

　Probably because he's a Kingsguard knight on the side of the king, he's probably a decent skill in this world.
　The first step is no good. It's too easy to read the movement after the first step.
　The sword speed is even more outrageous. You can't even kill a mosquito with this.

　You can avoid it and then counter-strike it with a thousand rounds, but you'll be spared from the king who tried to stop his men until the end.
　The knight's sword is a broadsword. He's drawing a trajectory to slash my skull with his wide, one-handed sword.
　I don't dodge or defend against this guy, but take it as it is.

''What?!''

　The moment it hit my head, the sword the knight wielded shattered into pieces.

''Silly........''
What's that idiot? What can you do with a sword like that?

　He shrugged his shoulders at the dumbfounded knight, just to say good grief.
　However, the knight wasn't the only one who was stunned, though.

''Yoo, brave man!　This time.....

　Even in the midst of all this, the king quickly came to his senses.
　But without waiting for him to continue, I turned on my heel and headed for the door of the audience chamber.

"Don't worry. I will defeat the demon king. I'm not going to have to worry about cleaning up afterwards, because then I won't be left out of this world. I'm not going to be able to get a good idea of what to expect.
What are you...

　In response to the king's awe-stricken and bewildered question, I said over my shoulder.　

'Sakahagi Ryoji. I'm an otherworldly tripper just passing through.''
