3-3. Expulsion




 Level 1 limit?

 No way one?

 There's no such thing as a negative, and 1 is the lowest, right?


 So I'm the weakest person in the world?

 The buzzing and the people around you start to make a lot of noise.
 It's a different kind of buzzing than the one I just heard.

'Don't be silly! Level 1 of the limit!

 The king's angry voice echoes.
 It was so loud that I cringe.

'You are defective! The presence of such a thing in my palace is highly objectionable! I want immediate execution!

 Huh? Huh?

 Huh? What the hell is that guy talking about?
 Execution, huh? Does that mean you're going to kill him?

 Huh? It's crazy! I didn't get summoned to this event because I didn't want to! You guys summoned it on your own!

 I am immensely disappointed at the inexcusable nature of this development.

 But the king's men, instead of questioning the order, approach me with their swords at the ready to carry it out quickly.

 I can't even move because of what's happening.

'Wait, wait, wait! You're going to stain this place with the blood of a defective product! Such things are close by, we can drop them in the valley of death.
Ha!

 The retainer drops his hand from his sword and this time he approaches me and picks me up, unable to resist.

 I'm easily carried up.
 As it is, he's trying to take me somewhere.

 Dropping you into the valley of death, huh? Are you serious?

 That's a sure-fire way to die! I come to another world and I get killed out of the blue!

 I try to resist.
 But it was locked in place with great arm strength, and no matter how much I resisted, it was useless.

"Ta, help...!

 I look at the delinquents, almost in tears, and they look at me with mocking eyes.
 That's right. There's no way those scum-like people would help me.

''Well, please wait as is!

 Just as I was thinking that, the girl yelled out so loudly that I stopped her.
 She was shaking with tears in her eyes.

This is ridiculous. You're not trying to kill me and you're going to let her go!

 I screamed.

 Well, good. I had an ally.

Yeah. Yeah! It's crazy! Why do I have to be killed?!

 I shout desperately, too.

'You have no concept of levels in your world, haven't you? In this world, an existence that doesn't rise in level has no value. If you don't level up, your stats are weak, and you won't gain 'skill points', so you can't gain skills either. There are also things called initial skills, but no human being is born with strong initial skills. Those with a low limit level are defective. So, in this country, anything with a single-digit level will be discarded.

 Meme explained with a blank expression.

''Well, I can't believe it's that defective...''
'Don't you need to convince me? You're not a brave man, so there's no need to convince me. However, if there are four of you who are brave and want to save that defective product, then you can specially prolong its life. King, is it alright?
It's not a good idea to displease the brave men. If you don't want to kill them, you can let them live.
That's right. And? What do you think? Are there any of you brave souls who are unwilling to execute him?

 Something went wrong with that.
 No, no, no, no, no, they were raised in Japan!
 You'd have to be a stranger to have people killed, even if you're a stranger!

 So I have faint hopes.

 A long-haired, leaderless punk.



 Did you hear me! It didn't take me long to realize that.

"Haha, what do you say, blah blah blah! Kill that bastard, he's a pain in the ass!
Level 1! Haha, I guess garbage is garbage when it comes to other worlds! You'd better die soon, for real! An old man's life isn't worth living, you know!

 The other punks wanted me dead, too.

 Why are they laughing at me? Why are they laughing all the time?
 I'm going to die, all right?
 Do you get it? How little do you think of human life?

 There were many things I wanted to say, but I was too frustrated to say anything.

''I see. Then go ahead and drop me in the Valley of Death as planned.
Yes, sir.

 The retainer walks off again.

'Wait! It's crazy, this is crazy!

 The girl tries to stop him, but then he puts his sword to her neck.

If you try to stop it, you'll die too, won't you?

 Threatened. The girl says, "Hi! I screamed, and then I couldn't move.

 After that, no help came, and I was carried out of the palace to the valley.

 A royal palace in another world.
 With tears raggedly streaming down her face, Satomi Riko (Satomi Riko) watched as the man was taken away.

 There are two reasons for her tears.
 The fear of having a sword held to her neck.
 And then the remorse of not being able to move.

 It was not Riko's fault. There are not many people who can move with a sword at their neck.

 Still, Riko blamed herself for not being able to move to help that man who was trying to save her.

'So what do you do? As for us, we want you to stay here and fight with us, but we can't force you to do that, not being a brave man. You must decide what to do.

 Riko wasn't bothered at all.

I will not fight with you.

 I replied.

'In that case, would you prefer to live on your own? I can't guarantee your life, can I?
I'm fine.

 Riko said that with a little glare.

 ----I don't want to be with the people of the other world and those delinquents.

 That's what Riko thought, but under normal circumstances, she might have chosen to stay here.

 The reason why she made a different choice is because she saw the man who saved her even though she was trembling, and she thought she should have the courage to do the same.

 Riko followed her decision and left the royal palace.
