After taking several deep breaths to regain his composure, Kelly tightly held onto Sumire’s hand. Although his mind was still racing, he made a conscious effort to think more carefully and rationally. However, he realized that he was still far from calm enough to engage in a coherent conversation. The sa held true for his fellow classmates, so of whom were on the brink of fainting. Taking note of that, Agawa stepped forward as their representative and responded to the priest.
"Thank you for the suggestion. We are willing to accept your offer. Please lead the way..."
"Ohh...how polite of you hero, then please do follow "
As soon as the priest heard Agawa’s response, a smile spread across his face. With a sense of relief, they all began to follow him, walking in silence. The weight of the situation hung heavily upon each of them, and there was a collective need to process and make sense of their new reality. In this mont of uncertainty, they found solace in Agawa’s presence, unanimously acknowledging him as their leader. Step by step, they continued forward, their minds filled with questions and apprehension.
After venturing through the dim and unfamiliar passage for so ti, their group finally erged into a breathtaking sight. The transition from the gloomy stone hallway to the bright and dazzling marble passage was like stepping into another world. The walls were adorned with ornantal candlesticks, casting a warm glow that illuminated the surroundings. Unlike the previous area, this passage was ticulously maintained and exuded an air of grandeur.
As they walked further, Kelly couldn’t help but be captivated by the ornate decor and exquisite artwork displayed along the walls. Intricate paintings and ticulously crafted suits of armor added to the splendor of the place, creating an ambiance that felt truly majestic. The realization that this extraordinary setting was a part of their new reality hit Kelly with a jolt, reminding him that everything unfolding before his eyes was indeed real. Suddenly, Agawa moved closer to Kelly, walking side by side with him. After, walking in silence for a while he finally spoke,
"Kamimura, how are you feeling now"
’Jolly good! Mate.’
Kelly thought sarcastically,
’Anyway, there is no way he ca here to ask just about my feelings.’
All of a sudden, a mory flashed in Kelly’s mind, the place he had seen before arriving here, and how Agawa had been present there too. It made him think that Agawa might have brought him here to discuss that very incident. With that in mind, Kelly responded to Agawa’s inquiry.
"Yeah, I’m fine. I was only hit by that orb once, and it hurt like soone squeezed my organs inside my body" Kelly explained, recalling the intense pain he had experienced, then looking at him with a side eye he further said "I can’t even comprehend how you got out unscathed with all those orbs surrounding you,"
"....."
However, Agawa’s reaction was puzzling. Kelly could see question marks figuratively floating above Agawa’s head, and after a brief pause, Agawa responded.
"What are you talking about, Kamimura? What orbs? As you can see, I’m fine, and definitely didn’t felt my organs squeezed, you really do have an imagination huh..." Agawa replied, confusion evident in his voice.
"Huh..."
Now it was Kelly’s turn to be confused. He thought back to what had happened, questioning whether it was just another dream. However, the vividness of the current events and the intense pain he had felt earlier made it difficult for him to dismiss it as re imagination. The circumstances seed too real to be a dream, leaving Kelly uncertain about the nature of his experiences.
’Then, why didn’t he rember anything?’
As Kelly pondered the situation, he considered the possibility that Agawa’s lack of mory could be attributed to his unconscious state during the event. It seed plausible that Agawa had no recollection of what had transpired. Kelly continued to scrutinize Agawa’s face, searching for any signs of deceit or feigned ignorance, but there was genuine confusion in Agawa’s expression. It beca increasingly clear to Kelly that Agawa truly had no understanding of what he was talking about.
"What! Kamimura Why are you staring at like this?" Agawa asked, clearly taken aback by Kelly’s intense gaze.
"Sorry, it seems I am a bit confused," Kelly replied, trying to divert attention from his suspicions.
’For now, let’s keep it to myself...first let’s just process being summoned to another world for fuck’s sake...how could soone actually process this...’ he thought. Kelly didn’t want to reveal his concerns and explain sothing. When he himself needed an explanation.
"It’s okay, we’re all feeling confused and terrified but don’t worry and everyone else is with you Kamimura, you are not alone in this...," Agawa responded, trying to reassure Kelly.
"But are you really?" Kelly inquired; his curiosity piqued.
"What do you an by that?" Agawa asked, puzzled.
"I an, co on, we’re in an unfamiliar place, surrounded by people talking nonsense. Everyone is on edge and at their wit’s end, I get it I am too honestly. Yet how the fuck are you so calm" Kelly observed.
That was sothing Kelly couldn’t comprehend, no matter how much he pondered over it. How could Agawa remain so composed, as if he were taking a leisurely stroll in the park?
"Haha... I suppose you’re right," Agawa chuckled, trying to lighten the mood. "But think about it, we’ve been summoned to another world. What else can we really do about it?"
"...."
Kelly was at loss for words for once, he couldn’t understand how Agawa could take things so lightly and not be bothered by their circumstances, how can he even accept this load of bullshit so easily, without any hesitation, after taking so ti to swallow what has been said to him, he questioned Agawa.
"What? Are you seriously telling that you accept the fact that we’ve been summoned into another world? How can you be so willing to believe it without any evidence?" Kelly’s voice betrayed a mixture of confusion and frustration.
As an otaku, Kelly himself was more open to the possibility of such otherworldly events, but Agawa’s nonchalant acceptance of the situation seed unfounded. He needed an explanation, a rational justification for Agawa’s easy acceptance.
"I an their language"
"For the fucks sake what about...wait... their language? Shit it’s so obvious." Kelly’s mind raced to process the implications. How were they able to understand each other if they were supposed to be in a completely different world? Hope flickered within him, but Agawa quickly extinguished it.
