My day off starts with a cup of tea.
　Outside the window, I hear birds chirping and people laughing in the streets. I can even hear a sound like a drum from somewhere.
　What a peaceful everyday life. What a peaceful town.
　I look out the window at the city and greet lunchtime in an elegant manner.

　Kakeru," I said, "it's time to stop drinking water. It's time to go on a quest, don't drink water, let's go on a quest. It's already noon.
　No. I'm taking the day off.
　What?　Why?!
　You know why. It's because you're tired. I'm going to ask you, why do you want to go on quests so badly? You're just carrying a dead body.
　'We've got a good group of people in our party!　Kakeru isn't tired.　And you can't report quest completion without me, God!　Respect me!

　This loli girl was right, my party only got better looking.
　Aria, who can use magic that can be considered the strongest if raised, such as word magic. Stella, a wielder of celestial magic that can unleash the power of the stars like a beam. Touka, a samurai who wears lightning and can cut down both sides of a monster. Two rearguards and one vanguard. It seems like a well-balanced party, and they all look good. Just looks good.
　I'm sure the ones who don't know anything about me would be envious if they saw me.
　But one of them is a crazy punk who keeps calling himself a god no matter how ugly he gets.
　One of them is a mysterious girl who turns into a little girl the moment she uses magic.
　One is an idiot who falls down in the middle of nowhere and recognizes it as an enemy attack.

　No one in their right mind. If I had to choose, I'd say that Stella's usually just better at having common sense.
　But the beautiful girl I'm looking for in the other world isn't someone whose demerits stand out more than her appearance.
　I don't want to be surrounded by people who treat me as a wall or a decoy.
　I want to surround myself with beautiful girls who adore me, who love me and who will protect me.
　And there was another reason for my apathy.

　--- last night ---

　I had come to the guild's reception area once I broke up with those guys and tried to reorganize the party.
　No matter how much cheat-grade magic you can use, no matter how cool your swordsmanship is, it's useless if the person using it is an idiot.
　However, the receptionist's words caused the ideal party formation plan to fall apart.

　''Once the party members are decided, they can't leave the party anymore.
　'Yes, but I've heard that Stella and Touka have been in different parties many times.
　"They had gone from one party to another on a trial basis. As a result, they weren't accepted by any of the parties... Kakeru's was the first and last time they were officially invited to join.
　No, no, no, I didn't sign him up for this--
　What are you talking about?　Mr. Aria had a subscription form for you.
　....

　An a**h*le.

　'You mean that one?　I can't get out of this party, and I can't get rid of those guys, can I?
　''That's what I'm talking about. A party contract is like a soul contract that adventurers make with each other, you know. If you break that contract, it explodes.
　What?
　It's going to blow.
　Yes....
　'I'm very grateful to Kakeru-san, you know?　It's that question--you've taken in some of the strongest kids in combat. We can't just let them play around, you know.
　You were going to call me a problem child, weren't you?
　No, I didn't.
　....

　My idea to rebuild my otherworldly life from scratch had already been shattered by Aria.

　--- The time has gone back, the present ---

　'Do you hear me?　Respect me!
　Shut up!　Who the hell do you think it's your fault that this happened!
　'I don't know what you're talking about, but at least it's not my fault!　That's the only thing I'm confident about!
　Where does your confidence come from?
　I'm sure it's not her fault either. After all, she is a celestial demon--
　'Your food bill is another thing that bothers me!　Have you ever seen the money dwindling by the day!　Money ain't infinite, it's finite!
　"Hmm. Don't be so impatient, Kakeru. I received quite a bit from the quest the other day-- ah.

　Touka spilled the water he had placed on the table in a calm manner.

　''You screwed up little girl!　I didn't even get 10,000 saris after killing that many quests yesterday!　It was only enough to pay for accommodation for two people!
　Shucks. We weren't expecting a monster attack up here--
　'So no!　Don't be alarmed!　There's no way a monster would come to the inn!

　What's up with these guys? Where is my easygoing, harem, other-worldly life? Oh no, I want to go back to Japan.

　But at any rate, it's almost noon now. Even if I went to the guild, there wouldn't be any quests left to do now.
　'That's because Kakeru won't wake up!　It's Kakeru's fault!
　....

　Well, I'm not going to deny that. Because it felt good to sleep twice.

　'I'm on a higher level than Kakeru, so Kakeru should follow me!
　What?　You're kidding me. I mean, we're living the same life, so why is Aria on a higher level than you?
　'Humph!　Isn't it because he's God?
　'I think it's the influence of what Aria always eats,'

　Stella gave me the answer. To that Stella, Aria said, "Don't say anything else! He was biting down on things like, "Oh, I see.

　I'm sure you're not the only one who's interested. Come to think of it, I haven't had that one yet.
　'Mmm-hmm!　Knowing the answer won't make up the difference between me and Kakeru!
　'So you don't give Aria the money, and I can eat my share of it.
　'Wow!　I'm just kidding!　So don't say that!　If you work properly, buy it!

　As she snickered at the loli who was pulling on her clothes with her eyes glazing over, Touka opened her mouth.

　'Speaking of which, why is Kakeru managing Aria's money?
　Didn't I tell you?　I give it to Aria and she spends it all. Then he comes to me and asks to borrow it. That's why I only keep Aria's share.
　Oh, so that's what it's all about.
　That's what I mean.

　I shifted my gaze to the loli who was still tugging at my clothes.

　I'm just kidding. It's a stretch. I'll pay you well when I work.
　Really?
　It's true. Do I look like such a devil to you?
　Uh ... I see it.

　Isn't it awful?　I'm trying to be nice.
　.........hmm?　Eating ice cream to level up?

　Wait a minute. Is this Isklin something of a monster?
　'Iskrine is a popular food made from the bodily fluids of a monster called Nelscreema, frozen with freezing magic.
　....

　That's disgusting. You've been slurping up a monster's bodily fluids?　It's disgusting.
　I got to know the identity of the object that Aria always seemed to enjoy eating.
　She'll never eat it, I thought.
