'Oh, that's ...... Matsusaki Yuki......!

On their way to the playground, Yuki and his friends saw a large man, 180 centimeters tall, peeking at them and muttering as he hid behind a building.

In his hand, he holds a shield with an elaborate design.

'I don't forgive you ...... I don't forgive you ...... I don't forgive you! I'll never forgive ...... that guy!

Catan was still haunted by the fact that he had been expelled from King's Landing.

He was treated exceptionally well as a hero, praised by the royal people, and lived without any inconvenience.

He was no longer seen as a brave man as he had been in the past, but merely as a weapon.

A pawn to deter war.

The fact that he was nothing more than that was conveyed to him without being told.

Katan was also summoned from a different world than Yuki.

There, he was an ordinary villager, but after becoming a hero of another world, he suddenly gained great power, great wealth, and great fame.

He got carried away and his pride became too big.

That's what's tormenting Catan now.

He naturally clenched his fists tightly because of his resentment toward Yuki.

He clenches his fists so tightly that his fingernails dig in and damage his palms.

This man's name is Katan Akzir.

He is one of the former members of the party of heroes who were condemned along with the king in the Kingdom of Oswald and scattered to various countries.

I'm not sure if you've seen this before, but I'm sure you've seen it before. ...... I'm not sure if you've seen this before, but I'm sure you've seen it before.

With an inappropriate smile, Catan suppressed his burning emotions.

He then began to gather information about Yuki and the others.

The playground was in the commercial district.


The playground was located near the adventurer's guild, a short distance through the commercial district.

The building was new, but the overall tone was subdued, not flashy like a Japanese arcade.

Although it was in a remote area, there was a lot of traffic, especially from adventurers.

It seemed to be quite crowded.

Open the door and go inside.

Inside the playground, there were a number of large magical devices.

You can hear electronic sounds, and it makes you feel nostalgic somehow.

Well, it really is a game center.

However, it did not have UFO catchers or rhythm games as in modern Japan, but something more retro.

Tetris, invader games, fighting games, and so on. All of them are dot pictures, so they are not the graphically rich games that modern people imagine.

Rather than a playground, it was more like a game cafe.

'Ah, it's been a long time since I've been here! I really like this atmosphere!

Aleria is enjoying herself.

'Wow, I've come to an amazing place. ......'

Aina, on the other hand, seems to be confused by the game she's never seen before.

'Ugh, shut up. ......'

'It's the same on the right: ......'

The two dragons seemed to have trouble with sound.

Perhaps their hearing is more sensitive than humans.

I've been hearing a lot of noise since I came to the other world, but it doesn't bother me that much because it doesn't change my senses unless I try to listen intently.

'Do you want to wait outside if it's too hard?

But I'll be patient. ......'

But I can't let him stay like this for long, can I?

I took out the earplugs I had in my item slot, just in case something like this happened.

'Do you want to use these?

'What are these?

'They're called earplugs. You put them in your ears and they block out sound. Well, I don't think they'll completely block out the sound, but they'll help, won't they?

And with that, I stuffed them in Earth's ears.

'Wow, that's amazing!

'I can't hear you at all!

Apparently, this was the solution.
