Life in another world, day 7.

　There was some confusion, but humans are pretty tough, and it was quick to adapt. No, not a single human, though.
　In the end, if this is a different world, why did everyone fly to it, did they even change their appearance, is there a human in this world, how wide is this reddish-brown rocky area? I was.

　Of course, there are students who are selfish.

　Harui (Harpy) and Snakezuka (Lamia), who belong to Beni's group, were screaming bloody murder at the lack of make-up and baths, while Koganei (High Elf) was very depressed because of his lack of internet access. Of course, the same goes for Kyousuke. Surprisingly, many students seemed to be highly dependent on their mobile phones and smartphones, especially social networking sites, and for the first three days, everyone had little use for them.
　The situation changed when Ryuzaki (Dragonoid) and Goubayashi (Oga), who had been energetically exploring their surroundings, returned with a monster meat. The horned rabbit was dead at that point, but it was the first time the second year and fourth class had seen another creature since they arrived in another world.

　There was something to be said for being hungry.
　A girl who was in the cooking club suggested that we all eat it together. But there were no cooking utensils.

　Kenzaki (Dullahan), one of the former three most beautiful girls in the class, took off her own armor and said she would do teppanyaki with it. Kenzaki had a long sword and a dagger, and a few of us decided to handle the rabbit.
　It wasn't too difficult to make a fire. There were several students who could breathe fire, including Ryuzaki, and most importantly, Koganei, who had become an elf, was able to handle magic. The lifeline was greatly improved due to fire magic and water magic, and furthermore, as some of the other students began to be able to handle magic, Koganei's burden would be somewhat reduced.

　After this event, the class slowly began to come together.

　At first, all they did was lament the change in their appearance, but many began to look at it positively, believing that they had been given the strength to survive in this harsh other world. In fact, if they were all just high school students, even the horned rabbit would have torture them to death, or they would have starved to death.

　A short walk from the rocky area is an underground labyrinth. Students with combat skills went out there and eagerly explored it. Once the safety of a part of the labyrinth was confirmed, they moved their base there to get out of the rain and wind.
　He was unsure if the prey he had hunted would be eaten or not. The sturdy-looking Okumura (Orc) and Goblin (Goblin), among others, bought out the poisoning, while Hanazono (Alraune), who had been a member of the horticulture club even when he was a human, began to grow safe vegetables.

　Everyone began to have their own role to play.

　One student among them remained completely useless.

　It was Kyousuke Soraki (Skeleton).




'Gosh!

　Goblin (Goblin) shouted cheerfully and left the common dining room. Okumura (Orc), who usually hangs out with him, followed him a little later. He's probably going to go out to explore the labyrinth now. This labyrinth, which was probably an underground cemetery, is inhabited by demons different from our own, but they are not so dangerous if you don't dive down to the lower levels.

　As he watched them, Kyousuke sighed. No, no breath came out. The air would be sucked out of his throat before it could reach his mouth.

　Once the class was united, Kyousuke joined them on their labyrinthine quest. The only thing the skeleton could do was to fight. He's not sturdy or large enough to be a shield, so he has to cut in anyway. Since Koganei (the High Elf) was useful, he decided that he had to do something as well, so he volunteered for a combat unit.

　In the end, however, Kyousuke was weak.

　Not like Kenzaki (Dullahan) or Gokugawara, he didn't have a weapon when he was reincarnated, nor did he have a superior body like Goubayashi (Oga), nor did he have a flying tool like Ryuzaki (Dragonoid). Really, it's just that it's a bone. He takes on the horned rabbit that Ryuzaki and the others have defeated without a hitch, and is torn apart by a single blow to the body. If Goshigawara wasn't a genius at puzzles, a bone or two might still be missing.
　Ryuzaki told me, 'You don't have to do anything, just stand by. It's a de facto notice of no force. Since then, Kyousuke has been sitting in the common cafeteria with dead eyes. In addition, since he is a skeleton, he has no eyes.

''You're thinking too much, Kyousuke.''

　Ei floats up next to Kyousuke. From the side, it's not hard to see that it looks like a human soul is slipping away from the corpse.

'It doesn't matter if it's useless. Being reborn into anything is like luck, and even Beni's group has done very little to help.
'I can't get that comfortable...'

　Queen Benii, the vampire-turned-Queen Benii, spends her days lounging around with her cronies Harui (Harpy) and Snakezuka (Lamia). There are only a few people in her class who can come out strong against her. At least not in Ryuzaki.
　And Benii (the vampire) isn't just useless. Once, after the combat troops had been sent out, a monster had rushed into their base. She was the one who intercepted them all. As Beni wounded her own fingers, the blood that fell to the floor took the form of a man. The army made up of her blood crushed the monsters in one fell swoop, and they were gone in a flash. Since then, no one has blamed Beni for not going out to explore.

''After all, I haven't been able to do anything...''
So do I.

　Ei's voice was carefree. It was true that the wisp only seemed to be useful for starting fires, but since various students could already play that role, it was like he was no longer on the scene.

'That Koganei guy is so active...'

　He was from the same bottom group, his progress was remarkable.
　Not only was he able to handle magic, but his fighting ability was also outstanding. Ryuzaki may look strong on the outside, but his actual specs don't seem to be that strong, and the strongest party in the class is currently supported by Goubayashi (Ouga) and Koganei (High Elf). He is the only one of the boys who has retained his human form, and he is so handsome that some of the girls suddenly start making fun of him.
　You might think that girls are mostly monsters. But Koganei is a hard man who can get even a foreign girl to come to him. He must be happy.

''Ah!''

　Kyousuke, who was sitting in the corner of the cafeteria in physical education, receives an accusatory shout.

''Moo!　You guys went off without putting the dishes away again!

　The plump and angry one was Sugiura (Scylla), who had been appointed as the class's meal attendant. Kyousuke didn't know what a monster called Scylla was, but Koganei told him about it. It's a girl whose lower body is an octopus.
　Sugiura was more sensitive to food issues than most people. It was not because he was in the cooking club. She believes that if everyone else starved, she would be the first one to eat her own feet.

　Sugiura does her best to lower the dishes left on the table with her octopus feet.

　I guess I can help with this much.

　Kyousuke thought, and began to collect the dishes left behind by his other classmates. Sugiura noticed right away.

''Ah, Utsurogi-kun. It's fine.''
That's okay. It's the only thing I have to do. Do you want me to do the dishes?
No, that's okay. Instead...

　With a glance, Sugiura's gaze is directed at Kyousuke.

　Even though her lower body is an octopus, and even though she's changed a lot since her human days, she's still a pretty girl with a pretty face. Kyousuke is shocked. His heart should have been gone a long time ago.

''Wha, what...?''
Would you be interested in making soup stock next time?
What?
'Hahahahaha, just kidding!　Look, look, you're out of the way, he's gone, he's gone!

　He couldn't stay in the cafeteria without being flattened and driven away by the octopus feet. Kyosuke left the dining room with Ei.

　The "base", which uses a section of the labyrinth, has several rooms. However, there isn't enough room to allocate living quarters to each student, and since everyone goes to fulfill their "roles" during the daytime, Kyousuke's place is rather limited.

"That guy Sugiura, he's probably mistakenly thinking that Kyousuke is a katsuobushi or something.
Dashi...

　Ei said in a dumbfounded voice, while Kyousuke was seriously thinking about it.

'You can't be serious, Kyousuke, you're not really thinking about it, are you?
'No, I guess the only way I can be useful in this class anymore is to be taken out of the broth...'
'Kyousuke....
I'd rather be reincarnated as a bonito-fish.
This is a very serious case.

　The cause of Kyousuke's melancholy isn't just 'just useless' to be honest, sometimes.

'What the hell, Utsurugiii, you're in a place like this?'

　As a result of that persistent voice, Kyousuke looks back with disgust.

''You have a useless habit, but your presence is perfect.
Can't you just stay in the corner for a little while longer? Huh?

　Walking in from across the aisle was the duo of Hakuba (Unicorn) and Washio (Gryphon).
　With everyone in the class having been reincarnated as non-humans, subtle changes have occurred in their respective positions within the class. The foremost of these would be Koganei, needless to say. He was at the bottom of the class as a creepy otaku, but has been raised to the top as a super winner.
　Naturally, there are some layers that have been pulled down. Hakuba and Washio are the first of them.

　They had been sipping the delicious juices around Ryuzaki during his human days, but after he became an extrahuman reincarnation, the attitudes of the people around him had blatantly changed. "Not maintaining human form" was quite a serious problem.
　Ryuzaki never tried to discriminate against them, but the presence of those who blatantly ridiculed them walking on four legs---especially seen by girls---was Their self-esteem has been hurt to the fullest extent.

　And now their anger is directed at Kyosuke, who is even lower on the ladder.

　Furthermore, Kyousuke is Koganei's friend who took away their place in the world. It was just the right time to take it out on them and relieve their sorrow.

'Hey Kora, how about you say something?'

　When Kyousuke was silent, the white horses threatened him, tapping the floor with their hooves. Furthermore, their irritation was directed towards Ei, who was making a sullen face (but not a face) behind Kyousuke.

'Hino-o, you're the useless one, aren't you?　The only thing I'm proud of is my face, and it's gone now.
'Just because you've been reincarnated as a gryphon doesn't mean you have to be as good as Tori to your head. Washio.
What the hell?

　Aacha, Kyousuke thought.

　Ei is a commie, but he only has a rich vocabulary for provoking others. In addition, he looks cool and his patience is easily cut off. When he's angry, he flares up at once. He is truly a man of fire.
　But Ei is a wisp. Unicorns and griffons can't even hit him. In the end, the two of them tried to take their anger out on Kyousuke again. Even Kyousuke flinched. The horned rabbit tackles him to pieces. If you get hit by a white horse's hind leg with a bang, you won't get a moment's peace.

"Hey, what are you doing?

　A voice, subdued and thin, yet clear and determined, echoed through the passage. With a snap, they stopped moving, Hakuba and Washio. When I looked at them, I saw a beautifully styled woman standing there, dressed in an excessively small cloth area, like underwear.
　A sight for sore eyes. No eyes, though. Kyousuke looks away. I don't have eyes, though.
　You can also have a look at the following tips to help you find the right one

I'm sure you'll be able to find it. This is no, this is a thing.
No, Satchan.

　Hakuba and Washio are blatantly upset. It can't be helped. Right now, it's safe to say that almost all the boys in the class can't go against this girl. After all, she is a male's natural enemy, a succubus.

''It's just the way it is,''

　She puts her hands on her hips and scales them both. Hakuba and Washio bow their heads, but their noses were stretched tightly underneath them.

'Utsurogi!'

　Furthermore, Koganei and Ryuzaki would come running in to reinforce her. Probably, they were just getting ready to head out to explore the labyrinth. As for Kyousuke, the situation becomes somewhat embarrassing.
　If this happened, the four-legged duo of Hakuba and Washio would have no choice but to flee. The two of them ran down the aisle without an apology. Since they have four legs, they are only fast enough to escape.

''Utsurogi, are you okay?''
Yeah, thanks.

　Kyousuke bowed his head to Koganei, who gave him a worried look. Next, Kyousuke turned his gaze to the succubus.

''U, Utsurugi-kun........''
And thank you, Sakuma.
No.....

　Yes, Sakuma. Sakuma Sachiko. This succubus is really that plain, bespectacled literary girl.
　Kyousuke was terribly shocked to find out that the innocent-looking girl, with whom he had many conversations in the library about his favorite books, had been reincarnated as a demon dressed in such an extreme and shameless manner. No, he didn't think this was the true form of that Sakuma. It's just that, somehow, I can't look at him very well.

''Both of you, let's go out exploring soon.

　From behind him, Ryuzaki calls out to him. Koganei nodded and gave a light greeting to Kyousuke and the others before waving and leaving.
　Sakuma stayed behind for a bit.

'See, Sakuma too. Without you, Ryuzaki and the others will be in trouble.
Uh, um...

　Sakuma squirmed and stammered out something.

''Um, Utsurogi-kun........''

　A succubus with a bewitching, sensationalistic tilt is squirming, and that alone is already bad for my heart. I don't have a heart, though!
　Yes, Sakuma should have been a ladylike girl. Dressed like this, of course she would be embarrassed. I don't know who did this whole class reincarnation, but they chose a very mean race.

　The reincarnated Sakuma has a high level of magical power. Like Koganei, she's part of the strongest party as a magic warrior. She too has become an indispensable part of the class.

'I can't put it well, Sakuma, but go for it!'

　That's about all I can say to Kyousuke.

''Uh, yeah...''

　As useless as I am, it's not a rule to stay here any longer. Kyousuke left as if to flee the scene.
　Sakuma won't chase after him. I don't want him to come after me. He was just grateful that the less assertive wisp was drifting around him without saying a word.




'I don't think we're going out there. 'Kyousuke, it's dangerous.'

　It's dangerous, and the only person who would follow me would be Ei.

　It's uncomfortable inside the labyrinth. If it's outside, there's no one there, so Kyousuke decided to come here. In this land where reddish-brown rocks are lying around, no monsters have yet been identified in this land. It may indeed be dangerous in terms of the unknown, but as long as you don't travel so far, you can get away quickly.

''Besides, if I discover something new over here, maybe I can be of some use too...''
''That again........ Kyousuke, that's a bad habit of yours.

　Ei sighed lightly. A huff, and a small splash of fire.

''That kind of foolishness is desirable to me, but I don't think it's clever.
You don't have to be smart. You don't have any brains anyway.

　If I'm going to be an outcast, that's fine with me. I just wanted the confidence that I was helping and supporting someone. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're doing.

---Ughhhh.........................

　Suddenly, a sobbing voice could be heard, and Kyousuke and Ei stopped with a giggle.

　What, you don't think there's someone else outside the labyrinth besides them?　Kyousuke looks at Ei, but quickly remembers that Ei doesn't have a face.
　He's crying, but you can't be too careful. This is a different world. There may be creatures that imitate the cries of humans to lure their prey. I'm not going to be the only one to hear the voice, but I'm going to be careful and cautious in the direction of the voice.

---I want to go home.........

　Kyousuke stopped dead in his tracks.
　He had an idea for the owner of the crying voice.

''Himemizu...?''

　When I called out softly, the sobbing stopped. The one who crawled out from behind a rock, stubbornly, was that Himemizu Rin (waterslime), the first time I saw her since I was sent to this world. Rin called out to Kyousuke in a faint voice, shivering and shaking, with no sign of her usual energy.

''Soraki-kun........''
"Ugly.

　I wondered if, by any chance, I was bad at remembering names.
