My Entire Class Was Summoned to Another World except for Me - Chapter 71

Chapter 71

“You’ve got quite a lot of them . ”

Once I followed Lina and entered the room, I was overwhelmed by the variety of magic items inside .

Since the curtain was shut the room was slightly dim despite putting on the lights .

There were some bookshelf on the walls and desks placed in the center . All of them contained many magic items, making the room look like a museum .

“I’m collecting them thinking that one day they may serve for something . There are still many others hiding inside . ”

Lina said that while pointing at a treasure chest like box .

Ah, could that be…

“Is this an infinite storage box?”

“Yeah, it’s called storage box . It has a storage limit but it’s easy to carry which makes it pretty convenient . This one is too big, so it’s kinda difficult to carry him, but there’s a bag version for it which I often use . ”

“Then why are you still putting it here?”

“It just takes too much time to take out all the stuff inside it . ”

“Isn’t there a magic that lets you do the same thing? Like, storing things?”

“What? I never heard of that . ”

She doesn’t seem to know .

“Eh? Then what about that 【Box】skill you got?”

“That skill is for personal use and it has a limit on how many things I can store . It’s not as great as you think . ”

I was slightly surprised by her answer .

Looks like the magic that my 【Space Magic】uses doesn’t exist .

I thought it definitely existed somewhere outside this world .

I slowly surveyed the room again .

“But still, you’ve got too many stuff here . ”

A star-shaped magic item . A crystal-like item . A small box-shaped tool .

There were various types and shapes .

It’s wasn’t easy to judge their utility only from the appearance .

Some of them were not much different from a wood plank and a horse wood curvature . It became even suspicious if they were really magic tools or not .

“Are these really magic items?”

“Despite its looks, it is a full-fledged magic tool . And it’s pretty useful too . ”

“Waa- this one is beautiful . ”

Suddenly, Saya who was in bad temper not too long ago got entranced by some sort of a germ necklace and was about to touch it .

“Ah, that’s……”

“Eh?”

Before Lina was able to finish her line, Saya touched the necklace, resulting in a magic circle appearing under her feet . Confused by that abrupt occurrence, Saya remained standing in her place until she disappeared in an instant .

“Wait, Saya?”

I roamed my sight in our surroundings, but I couldn’t find her .

What happened? How did she disappear all of a sudden like that?

When I was about to ask Lina about it, I found her holding her head seeming to be deeply troubled .

“She did it…”

“Did what? Where did Saya go?”

“She didn’t go anywhere . You’re just not seeing her . ”

“Eh? Seriously?”

Hearing her answer, I used 【presence sensation】to look for her place and as Lina said, she wasn’t actually near us .

“I can’t feel her presence…”

“That’s because she touched the super privacy pendant . It’s an excellent magic item that doesn’t only make you invisible, but also erase your presence . Due to that, we can’t even hear her if she talked . ”

How convenient .

Remaining to look at the place where Saya was standing, I was impressed by the ability of the pendant .

But even though I understood it’s use, I still don’t know the most important part .

“How can we turn her back to normal?”

“The pendant is working on Saya-dono’s magic . If she could stop the flow of her magic it will stop working, but unfortunately, I don’t think she could . ”

Lina said with a worried expression .

Saya is an ordinary person .

There’s no way she would know how to control her magic .

“It should stop working once she runs out of magic, so she should be alright . ”

Doesn’t that mean she will faint?

Is that alright?

Starting to feel worried about the disappeared Saya, I suddenly felt something touching my clothes and shaking me .

“Uoh, What!!?”

“That’s probably Saya-dono trying to make us notice her presence . Saya-dono, I’m sorry, but please wait like that until the effect wears off . ”

As line said that, My body stopped shaking .

She probably said something like “no way…” while feeling disappointed .

Trying to cheer her up, I reached my hand at a slightly low angle and bumped into something hard . I lightly tapped it .

It was probably her shoulder, though she didn’t seem to move despite doing so .

A few minutes later, we found Saya laying on the ground . Looks like she had swooned .

She didn’t seem to be very lucky today .

“Uu, that was mean . ”

“Are you okay?”

“I’m sorry, it’s because of my bad management . ”

With concern, I asked Saya if she was alright while Lina apologized to her .

I had to share some of my magic with her so she could wake up .

I did that only by touching her hand, but despite the bad efficiency, that much was plenty for her .

“But maybe it wasn’t that bad . ”

When I thought she was in a bad mood, Saya said in a low voice and a smirk on her face, as if she recalled something .

“I got Yato-kun to stroke my hair . ”

When she said that with a cheerful expression, I remembered what I did earlier and asked her .

“What I touched was your shoulder, right?”

“Eh? Ah, yes, my shoulder . ”

The way she answered me was fairly suspicious . When I kept staring at her with doubting eyes, she reverted her sight .

Well, whatever . It doesn’t matter if it was her shoulder or something else .

I went back to check the magic tools .

“What is this?”

What I pointed at was a handle with two boards in which each one had 『O』or『Ｘ』writen in it .

I wonder what’s its use .

“Hm? Ah, that’s a lie detector . It divulges the true thoughts of anyone who holds it . I used often when I interrogate someone . ”

A lie detector, huh .

And she uses it for interrogation?!

It has a shape of something normally used in entertainment, but it’s actually for integrating? Seriously?

When I remained gazing at the lie detector, Lina, seeming to have hit upon something talked to me with a mischievous grin on her face .

“Kamiya Yato, try holding it . ”

“This?”

Doing as she said, I seized the lie detector .

The same instant, Lina talked in an incredible speed .

“Kamiya Yato is dating Saya-dono!”

“What?”

“Eh?”

BuBu–!

Saya and I let out a confused voice to Lina abrupt utterance while the 『Ｘ』 board of the lie detector gleamed and made a strange sound .

“Hm, looks like it wasn’t the case . ”

“Wait a second, what did you do?”

With the lie detector still in my hand, I glared at Lina who was making a satisfied expression .

“Remember when I asked you the same thing the other day? That time I couldn’t completely believe you so I thought I can use this chance to get a clear proof . Though it seems that things are as you said, so don’t glare at me like that . Well, it’s fine even if it wasn’t . ”

Lina kept speaking while nodding in assent .

But why did she seemed somehow satisfied?

“Don’t do that again . ”

“T-That’s right, Lina-chan! I-I’m not in that kind of relationship with Kamiya-kun?”

Embarrassed by what just happened, Saya followed my warning to Lina with a complaint .

“Yeah, I’m sorry about that . Oh yeah, how about you try asking him something too? You can get to know anything you want . ”

“Eh? But…”

The embarrassed Saya was considerably moved by Lina’s words who, by the way, didn’t seem to be sorry at all .

This is bad, she’s about to get deceived by a demon’s whisper .

“Wait, wait, what are you saying—”

“You don’t have a reason to mind that, do you? It’s not like you’re hiding anything of guilty . Or maybe you do?”

Lina interrupted me with a provocation .

This angel! She’s enjoying the situation .

Realizing that she was toying with me with that smirk on her face, I became a bit irritated .

“I don’t have anything to hide . You can ask me anything you want . ”

“That’s good . Well then Saya-dono, it’s question time . ”

“Yes!”

Saya who has completely turned over the other side, replied in a delighted mood .

I told them to ask me anything just in the heat of the moment… maybe I messed up .

I became about to regret my short temper .

But still, I think it should be fine .

There isn’t anything in particular that don’t want people to ask me about .

Or that was what I tried to make myself believe as a way to not regret my miserable decision .

The question time had finally begun .

“Well then, I’m asking . ”

With a slightly nervous expression, Saya was about to ask her question .

What is she going to ask?

I gulped while been pressed by the nervous mood she was giving off until she moved her lips again .

“D-Do you have anyone you like at the moment?”

…… BuBu–!

That was her question .

For some reason, the board took a short moment before letting out that sound and gleaming its 『Ｘ』 board .

I didn’t see that question coming, honestly .

“Why did it take a moment before giving the result?”

Looking at the 『Ｘ』 board, I asked .

Lina pondered for a while before she apparently hit on a reasonable explanation and slowly began explaining .

“That is most likely because the answer wasn’t very clear . The lie detector makes use of your memories and the weakest tremor in your magic to bring out an estimable result . Since your experience in that matter wasn’t enough, it went out with a result that you have at least someone you’re interested in . ”

So that’s why it took time .

Hearing Lina’s explanation, I tried thinking about the person that I’m interested in .

Was there someone in whom I was interested in the first place?

“Yato-kun still doesn’t have anyone he likes…”

Finding out that I don’t have anyone like that, Saya was clearly relieved .

“But how unfortunate . I thought I could grasp one of your weaknesses if you had someone in mind like that . ”

“So that was your aim from the start . ”

No wonder she was in unusually in high spirit .

“I had too many troubles because of you in the past . I really want to grasp your weakness here . ”

I don’t think that’s something you should say in front of me though .

Also, I don’t remember doing anything that may have troubled her . I did as far as using a spell to hide that I was sleeping in class or stealing her snacks .

“That’s why I’m going to keep asking you now . ”

“What should I ask him next…”

The both of them seemed to be ready to ask me a second question . So we’re not going to call it here . It felt like the situation wasn’t giving me the right to refuse .

I unintentionally let out a sigh . I wonder how long this will keep going .

————————————————————————————

“How is this possible? I still didn’t get anything yet!”

“It’s getting kinda scary . ”

I lost count on how many questions they asked .

Property of Fantasy-Books . live |.

Noticing that Saya and Lina got fairly tired from asking, I recommended them to stop .

“Won’t you stop already? I’m also getting tired here . ”

“Hmm… very well, the next question will be the last . ”

Lina who seemed to start giving up said with a disappointed expression .

Finally, the question time is going to end . It took longer than what it should though .

“Hurry up and ask then . ”

“Alright . Did you ever sleep with a girl of the same age as you . ”

I awkwardly smiled after hearing her last question .

When I finally thought that I can end all of this peacefully .

“Of course I didn’—”

PiinPon!!

Interrupting my attempt to deny, the 『O』board gleamed with a sound that sounded almost as f it was ridiculing me .

Not predicting such a turn of event, I stiffened in my place and slowly turn to look at the board .

Maybe, I didn’t hear it well…

“No, like I said, I didn’t sleep—”

PiinPon!!

Again, the lie detector made that sound before I finished my line .

This time, I heard it very well .

“Hey, Kamiya Yato……”

With a trembling voice, Lina slowly approached me and seized my collar .

“You! You spent a night with a girl of your age?!”

“No, wait, this must be some sort of misunders—!”

PiinPon!!

As I was about to explain myself to Lina with my neck strangled, the lie detector mercilessly interrupted me .

I didn’t have even the right to make an excuse .

“H-How is this possible… Yato-kun with another girl…”

Saya was trembling with a face that was about to cry and clear despair in her eyes .

This is bad . I need to clear up this misunderstanding .

“Kamiya Yato…… how could it be that you spent a night with a girl in whom you’re not even interested!!?”

“Wait! Misunderstanding! This is a misunderstanding!!”

BuBu–!

This thing doesn’t let me do anything!

Now that I tried denying, it was the 『Ｘ』 that gleamed .

AAh! That’s because I’m still holding it in my hand!

I dropped the lie detector on the floor and started making an excuse for Lina who was about snap from rage at any moment .

“Wait! Hear me out! I never slept with a girl of my age!”

“Then why did the lie detector react?!”

“How would I know!? Anyway, I really never slept with someone of my age…”

While I was desperately trying to clear away the misunderstanding, I remembered something .

There was that time when Karen sneaked into my bed and slept next to me after I saved her from that red dragon .

I didn’t think too deeply about it, but I guess it was counted as “sleeping together . ”

When I finally realized that fact, I calmed down . Sorry but, that’s the truth .

“What’s with that reaction? So you did really sleep with someone!!”

“No way, Yato-kun…”

Confirming their doubts from my reaction, Lina kept on shaking me in a fit of anger while Saya began to shed tears .

“Wait, please wait! It is indeed the truth, but it’s completely different from what you’re imagining right now! So hear me out at least!”

“Shut up you pervert . ”

“Yato-kun, how could you…”

A wrathful Lina and a crying Saya .

It took a considerably long time to make them believe me at that point .

Honestly, I’d do anything in order to avoid finding myself in such a chaotic situation again .

After the misunderstanding was cleared, I realized that I was pretty worn out .

Bonus

Pinch

While Yato was desperately trying to explain himself .

“Mu, chief is in pinch! I need to save him!”

“You still call yourself a man!!”

“Yato-kun, Yato-kun, why…”

“Wait!! Please, please wait!! That’s not it!!!”

“…… let’s not do that . ”
