1-Prologue Suddenly rude



'This is amazing! I can't believe such a huge creature is real...

 The "Sandworm" crawled across the desert in front of us.
 In the Great Desert, they are a conventional sand beast, but the only thing different about them is their size.
 The only thing different about them was their size, as creatures over one kilometer in length can only be found in creations on Earth.

''It's not very often you find a sand beast this big, though.

But it's 'rarely'.... This one, and not the only one.

Great Dessert is a big place.

 The young woman who answered my question was Larabell, the former princess of the Bart Kingdom who came to work with me because of the deceased.
 I've been told that he was a tremendous hunter and was even called the 'Guardian God of the Bart Kingdom', but for various reasons, he has now left the Bart Kingdom.

''There are quite a few 'named' and their class of sand beasts that are difficult to defeat in other countries and regions as well,''

It's a hard world out there.

Even if you lament, the sand beast won't die, and ordinary people don't go near a place where such a monster exists. We just have to manage to live with it.

 My other companion was a girl named Myu, a former squire of Lalabelle, who was herself an excellent hunter and ice magic user.
 She was also the daughter of a Bart nobleman, but now she has also left the Bart Kingdom for a reason and is now working with me.

''Taro-san, is there really a way to defeat this? I wouldn't have come up with it at first.

'We have a plan, and the odds are good. If it doesn't work, you can just run, and it's important to try.

'That's true too. There's a word for that, too.

It's in this world. It's not going to happen.

They say the old 'change-maker'

I understand.

Mister Taro?

All right, let's get to work.

 We're fighting against a monster that has already swallowed up an oasis town.
 I used to be just a humble businessman....
 By nature, I was not good at exercise, and I'm already over forty and my body gets tired easily.......not so much since I came to this world....
 How did that happen?

 And that's what I'm going to talk about now.



'Is this man that 'change agent'? He's a dull guy. He looks a lot older... but is he really this guy?

'Your Majesty, make no mistake. He's the 'change agent' this time.

''Well......... You're the first 'change agent' I've summoned in fifty years........ You're a miss this time.





 This is the busy season for the company.
 Normally, the company rarely works overtime, but this is the only time of year when it's not unusual to work late in the morning.
 I must have returned home after working long overtime, had a convenience store lunch for dinner, and rushed to bed to prepare for tomorrow.
 That's when I woke up and was taunted by a young man dressed in a kingly costume for being a 'dull guy'.

 I'd like to say out loud that this is none of my business, but it seems that this is not an event hall where cosplay hobbyists gather.

 The place is like an audience room in a castle that I've seen in cartoons and comics, with a king-like figure surrounded by many knights and soldiers, noblemen in sumptuous clothing, and wizards in robes looking at me with interest.
 I've never been the focus of too many people's attention, so my back is bothering me.

''Um ... what's this all about?''

"Let me explain it to you on behalf of Your Majesty.

 A male nobleman who looked to be in his early forties from among the cronies of a person who looked like a king was going to explain the situation to me.
 Since he is dressed in a manner that looks like an aristocrat, I'm sure he's a nobleman.

''This world is called the 'Great Desert'. It's a very deserted land.

 Eighty percent of the whole area is covered with deserts, and only about ten percent of the middle of the world is occupied by small oceans, and the remaining ten percent is grasslands, woodlands, and oases, which are somehow inhabitable by humans.
 It was quite a crazy story for a continuation of a dream, but if I said 'good at joking' here, the story would not progress and I would not be able to grasp the situation.
 Let's quietly gather information.

 I just wasn't old enough to be a young man who was upset and agitated by a change in circumstances.

The desert is inhabited by a large number of monsters known as 'sand beasts' that have adapted to the harsh environment of the desert, and ordinary humans cannot stand a chance. Therefore, the humans of this world live in only ten percent of the inhabitable territory.

 I see.
 I'd like to expand my living area into the 80% of the desert, but I'll be hampered by the monsters known as sand beasts.
 Since it would be difficult to live on the seas, we would have no choice but to live in the remaining 10%, making it difficult for this world to develop.
 I was called 'The Changer' by someone who looks like a king....................I'll just be a king now.
 In other words, I was called to this world with the intention of contributing to the development of this world as a 'change agent'.
 He is a king with a very bad character to call me to another world while I am sleeping.
 My parents have already died and I don't have a wife and children, so it's okay that I'm still here, but if this was the head of the family, the rest of the family would have made a big deal out of it, claiming that it was a godsend.

 Besides, when the king saw me, who was just an ordinary businessman with a forty-something year old and could be found anywhere, he had a blatant expression on his face that said 'this time it's a failure'.
 At least on the surface, he said to me, 'I'm sorry for calling you out of the blue. As a politician, I took it to heart that this was for the sake of this world. He said, "I won't let you be inconvenienced in this world. You should have at least said, 'I will repay you for your achievements.

 Is it because I'm young?
 ........Unfortunately, I don't think we can expect much from this king.

''It looks like we won't be getting enough water either.

That's right!

 
 Without water, no living creature can survive, so it will be difficult to expand the human habitat if things continue as they are now.

Are we the 'change agents' to solve this problem?

That's right. On one occasion the god of this world said, 'Wretched men who live in the Great Desert! "One day, the God of this world said, 'Wretched people living in the Great Desert, I will give you a change. I will give you a Change of Heart to help you overcome your difficulties.

 So I'm suddenly called up and I have the power to change this world?
 But I'm just a hapless businessman.
 I don't think I have the power to improve this world that is full of deserts.

I've heard that the 'change-makers' have a special power that the people of this world don't have. To you.........what is your name?

This is Taro Kato.

 In today's world, Taro is an ordinary name even for me.......or is Taro unusual even for Araphora.
 I heard that my parents named him Taro because he was the eldest son.
 By the way, he was an only child, so there was no such thing as a younger brother named Jiro.

''That's an odd name... there was someone with a similar name in 'The Changer' a long time ago... is he an aristocrat because he has a family name?''

Yes, I'm a petty aristocrat.

 Of course, nobility is a lie.
 It's a good idea to call yourself a nobleman since you have a family name.
 I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to confirm my identity by going to Japan anyway.

I'm not sure if it's the same world, but I'm a nobleman. Then I can't abandon him even if he's dull.

 Here, the king suddenly said something outrageous.
 Apparently, this king, since I have a dull appearance, I'm not good enough to be a 'change agent'.
 He thought that he should throw me out.
 It was a spur-of-the-moment decision, but I'm glad I called myself a nobleman.

 Come to think of it, my parents who passed away told me that I come from a samurai family.
 I'm not a descendant of 'Mr. Kato' who is one of the two members of the Seven Spears of Mount Lowell, but rather a descendant of a clan member of some feudal lord's family.

''Failing to summon them once every fifty years.......after all, the development of the Great Desert will take a long time......back off.''

 I was suddenly called to a different world, and the king who called me up suddenly told me that I was no longer a force to be reckoned with. 
 Somehow, I managed to avoid being abandoned in a world I don't know anything about, but then again, what will happen now?
