“Oh, so this is the Demon Tribe Nation!”
It was Ota, who had been chased out of the Admos Capital the other day, who said that in the Demon Tribe Nation’s capital.
Everything Ota did backfired. He was kicked out of the Admos Royal Family who summoned him, deemed useless by the Explorers’ Association he tried to join, and couldn’t get into any party. When he tried to monopolize Healing Magic while there were no other Healing Magic users, he was driven out of the treatment center due to vested interests.
At first, Ota had aimed for a comeback from that situation, but after everything he tried failed, his spirit finally broke. He finally got off his lazy butt and came to the Demon Tribe Nation to seek guidance from a mage.
Ota looked like a Human Tribe at first glance, but the surrounding Demon Tribe members didn’t seem to pay him any particular attention.
This was a complete coincidence, but although Ota looked completely like a Human Tribe, the Demon Tribe members didn’t recognize him as one due to the large amount of Magic Power unique to Summoners.
It was a coincidence, so Ota was completely unaware of it.
At the Royal Castle of Admos, Nara had learned that the Demon Tribe Nation was currently completely rejecting Human Tribes, but Ota was too busy chasing after women and hadn’t been paying attention in class, so he didn’t know.
That’s why he had come all the way to the Demon Tribe Nation without a care in the world.
Here, luck was starting to turn in Ota’s favor.
“Well then, as is customary for a country I’ve visited for the first time, I guess I’ll go check out the Adventurer’s Guild.”
There was no such thing as an Adventurer’s Guild in this world.
Even in Admos, it was called the Explorers’ Association, but Ota never used that name and consistently called it the Adventurer’s Guild.
This was evidence of his desire to be the protagonist of an isekai fantasy, and proof that he couldn’t accept reality.
After wandering around the capital for a while, Ota finally found the Demon Tribe Nation’s Explorers’ Association.
The Demon Tribe Nation was more advanced in magic tools than the Human Tribe nations, so the demand for Magical Beast materials, which were used to make them, was higher than in the Human Tribe nations.
Therefore, the Explorers’ Association was also larger than those in the Human Tribe nations.
And, because of its large size, there were also many explorers.
The Demon Tribe explorers, who mainly used magic in combat, looked exactly like the mages Ota imagined, and there were many of them.
Ota’s tension rose.
“Oh! There might be some beautiful girls here who can teach me magic!”
Saying that, Ota cheerfully walked into the association. When he spotted the receptionist sitting at the counter, his tension rose even higher, and he couldn’t help but run towards the reception counter.
“An Elf! It’s an Elf!!”
“H-Huh!? W-What is it!?”
The receptionist Ota saw had fair skin and long ears, and if a Summoner saw her, they would mistake her for an Elf, a common race in fantasy worlds.
However, there was no such race as Elves in this world.
She was just an ordinary Demon Tribe member with fair skin and long ears as a physical characteristic.
Therefore, the receptionist was terrified by Ota, who approached her while shouting words she didn’t understand, and she couldn’t help but raise her voice.
So much so that it echoed throughout the association.
“Miss, you’re an Elf, right!? Wow, it’s finally starting to feel like an isekai fantasy!!”
“E-Elf? W-What are you talking about!?”
Ota was so excited that he didn’t notice that he was attracting attention from all over the association, and he approached the receptionist as if he was about to jump over the counter.
The receptionist, thinking she was about to be attacked by his momentum, let out a loud scream.
“Someone help!! I’m being attacked!!”
The association’s guards and the explorers who were nearby heard the scream and gathered, and they apprehended Ota, who was just about to jump over the counter.
“Ouch, ouch, ouch! W-What are you doing!?”
“What are you doing is our line!! What are you thinking, attacking a receptionist in broad daylight, in front of everyone, you pervert!!”
“P-Pervert!? I’m a pervert!?”
It was undoubtedly the act of a pervert, but for Ota, who was under the delusion that he was the protagonist of an isekai fantasy, it was an outrageous thing to say.
He tried to shake them off, but Ota, who had never even properly trained his Magic Power control, was no match for the veteran explorers and the guards who controlled them. Ota was captured on the spot.
And Ota was thrown into jail as a pervert who had tried to attack a receptionist at the Explorers’ Association in broad daylight.
Ota, who had been thrown into jail as soon as he arrived in the Demon Tribe Nation, stared blankly at the tightly closed iron bars.
After a while, Ota, who had finally had enough of this, slumped his shoulders in the cell.
“H-Haha… what is this? I was summoned to another world, so shouldn’t I be the protagonist of an isekai fantasy? Why do I have to go through all this…”
If Kenta and Nara saw him, they would only say, “It’s your own fault,” but for Ota, this situation was too unreasonable and unacceptable.
“What is it… what is it… why is nothing going right? Could it be…”
After saying that, Ota said something strange.
“Does the world hate me?”
Ota’s thinking was dominated by the thinking of a tragic hero.
And, after indulging in that adversity for a while, Ota let out a strange laugh, “Kukuku.”
“I see, I see. Then, I’ll act like the world’s most hated person. Until now, I was trying to become an invincible protagonist, but from now on, I’ll become a tragic dark hero.”
It was the moment when a rebel who couldn’t even use a single decent spell was born in jail.
The jailer was looking at Ota, who was reveling in his delusions, which were common among adolescent boys, with a look of disgust, but then someone visited, and he was surprised by their words.
Because…
“Hey. You’re being released. Get out.”
“…Huh?”
Ota, who had been immersed in his tragic hero act, couldn’t keep up with the sudden release.
“I said you’re being released. Get out of here.”
“Huh? Huh? Why?”
Ota, who didn’t even know why he was being released, left the cell in confusion.
“This person is going to be your guarantor. Be grateful.”
The jailer said that and turned his gaze to…
“…In these situations, isn’t it standard for a beautiful girl or a beautiful woman to come and greet you…”
Ota’s muttered words didn’t reach the ears of the stern-looking man who looked like a soldier.
“Did you say something?”
“Ah, no, nothing.”
“Someone is calling for you. Come with me.”
“Oh?”
This was the first development since he came to this world.
Ota, who was inwardly excited that the drama had finally begun, thought (I hope it’s a beautiful girl’s superior officer) as he followed the man.
