Jujutsushi Wa Yuusha Ni Narenai-Chapter 246.2 - Reunion With Another Classmate II

He took out something like a red apple from the treasure chest, and handed it to Randou along with a fruit knife.

It was as if asking her to at least peel the apple while he did the cooking.

Surprisingly, Randou peeled off the apple with familiar movements and served it as if she was used to this. There wasn't a clumsy attribute at cooking at all.

「A~h, it's sweet and tasty. Being able to eat sweets is luxury.」

I voiced my impression as I ate the apple.

Darn, I wouldn't be able to go back to eating just the fish roasted on a bonfire after eating something as tasty as this… This bastard Momokawa is definitely a devil who came to corrupt my survival spirit.

「While the amount isn't that much, we do have sugar and honey. I'll prepare some simple sweets too.」

「It sounds like you have everything, Momokawa…」

He might even be able to live fairly well in this place. I mean, despite the survival environment, he had achieved the minimum standard of modern living.

Honestly speaking, I underestimated Momokawa. I did say that he was three months senior to me when it came to survival life, but I never expected for him to achieve such a standard in mere three months.

Not only did he have seasonings for the meat and vegetables, he also had cookware and dishware such as plates, cups, knife and fork. Not to mention that he solved the problem regarding fire and water with a knife that could produce fire, and a kettle that produced water.

Given the same time, I don't think I would be able to achieve the same standard of living as him. I might have no problem with fire or water thanks to the spirits but that's it.

The fact that I reunited with Momokawa in this place was akin to a miracle.

Perhaps the other classmates were just as good as him. Looking at Randou made me feel that she might be able to do the same things as Momokawa.

I see, this must be a honey trap to make me say that I want Momokawa as my bride. And if he prepared a bathtub too on top of that, I might accidentally propose to him. Well, jokes aside…

「This is seriously amazing, Momokawa. We really are indebted to you for this treat.」

The current me had nothing to offer as a deal.

If I had to say, it would be the fish caught by Kinako from the river. However, that was the result of Kinako's hard work, not mine.

「It's not a big deal, Hayama-kun. I want you to decide to follow us or not after hearing our side of story first.」

「The heck, does that mean you have special circumstances?」

「Unfortunately, the situation is more severe than you imagined. So, brace yourself for what you're about to hear――」

Thus, Momokawa told his story.

What happened to him in the three months after he was stranded in this world. How he ended up appearing before me. He told everything in chronological order.

===

「――Thus, we barely managed to beat Yamata no Orochi.」

Honestly I still couldn't bring myself to imagine Momokawa rallying the 18 surviving classmates together to defeat the last boss-like giant kaiju called Yamata no orochi.

I mean, not when the current me was barely surviving from the ambush of the trent. Even if he said it was a monster whose size rivaled that of a mountain, no matter how many dinosaurs or dragons I've seen, I can't really imagine such a monster.

However, I didn't think that Momokawa's story was a lie.

I mean, not when we already had a special power called vocation, or monster that varied from goma to dragon. And though I was a literal newbie, I already knew that there was a teleportation magic circle that could teleport people in a flash to another location.

There was no contradiction in Momokawa's location, and most of all, he had no hesitation when he told his story, and there was a real feel in his story.

「However, even though everyone has grown so much, to the point of being able to fight such a dangerous boss, I'm just doing trivial things. Ain't the level-gap in this dungeon a little bit too much?」

「The classmates who arrived in the School Tower had been through all kinds of trials along the way, after all. At that point, they had pretty much developed their own style, and their abilities were only refined further during the life in the school tower, and might grow even further after the battle against Orochi.」

「Still, being left alone is way too much… Dammit, I wish I could fight along with everyone!」

I mean, it feels like I'm the only one excluded during the preparation of the school festival.

According to Momokawa, everyone was working together to defeat that super raid boss, preparing every single possibility that they could think of, fighting back to back, and finally defeating Yamata no Orochi… Yet here I was, missing a super big event in my entire life.

In short, while Momokawa and Co were forging enchanted weapons to defeat that super boss, I had just started using a lighter to light a bonfire. It felt like his side was the people of the ancient Roman Empire, while my side was still the primitive Japanese who made earthenware with a glee.

「Oh c'mmon, it's not your fault. I mean, you arrived later than everyone, and wandering in the forest outside instead of entering further into the dungeon is pretty much making you an irregular. Thanks to that, you met us here.」

I had never expected that the magic circle note that I tore in anger would turn up to have the compass function to guide us through the dungeon.

Moreover, Momokawa had also started from the forest just like me. Had I walked straight, I would have found the entrance of the dungeon immediately.

Since his starting point was pretty much the same as mine, I should've been looking around for a while longer since the entrance to the dungeon was practically right there.

However, the first one I met right after stepping out of the forest was Kinako… Well, I pretty much didn't care about anything else after that.

「But man, how did it lead to only you two being teleported to this place despite achieving such a feat? Are you by chance, eloping?」

「Well, something like that, I guess.」

「No, it's not eloping. Be quiet for a bit Randou-san. I'm about to tell you the important part.」

After some lovers-skit-like conversation between Randou and Momokawa, we're finally back to the main topic. Seriously, dude, are you forcing this single dog to eat dog food?

「The subjugation of Yamata no Orochi happened yesterday, the problem happened just today, just before we teleported, to be exact.」

According to him, they held a victory celebration after they subjugated Yamata no Orochi. The chef, Futaba-san, went all out and prepared all kinds of delicacies.

「Then, Takanashi betrayed all of us.」

「Eh, are you referring to that Takanashi Kotori?」
