Hero, I Didn’t Take Your Saintess Away!

“It was taken away…”

Despair is creeping into my body. It wasn’t like this when I confronted the Demon King or when I fought a life-threatening battle against an army of monsters.

I was an ordinary high school student in the present world. I skipped the breakfast prepared by my mother, went to school, endured boring classes, and spent my free time reading light novels or playing the game console I bought with my allowance. I was tall, but that was all. I was an ordinary high school student with no special features or abilities.

Then one day, I found a kitten playing on the street and decided that it was dangerous so I tried to save it. However, a huge truck hit me as I picked up the kitten, and I quickly threw the cat to the side to save it. It must have hurt, but I believed that it would be better than me.

And then a huge light poured down on me.

“Welcome, warrior.”

When I came to, I was in a completely unfamiliar place. From the clothes to the appearance, everything looked like Westerners. What is this? Is this a hospital? This is my first time seeing a hospital like this? To me who was wondering, an old man in fancy clothes loudly declared.

“The Kingdom of Alcrea hereby announces that it has succeeded in summoning the warrior!”

What? Summoning a hero? That thing that often appears in other-worldly stories? A man in strange attire came out to me, who was blankly staring, and started explaining something. Strangely enough, I could understand everything he said, even though it was clearly a foreign language.

Then, suddenly, a memory came to me. Before I was hit by the truck, I remembered the image of a woman, or rather, a goddess, that I had met in my dream.

‘Congratulations. Today, you have been summoned as a hero in another world. If you achieve your goal, I will give you a choice. There are two ways to go: return, or stay.’

Yes. It just came to me as if it was meant for this moment. Everything fell into place. The dream. The truck. The summoning of the warrior. So I…

They cheered.

“Another world summoning has arrived!!!”
