It's been maybe... Two weeks since I've been sent to this world. It's... A change, to say the least. It's not that I really... Well, dislike it here, the food's pretty good, lot of nice people, too.
I had a pretty great social life, lots of friends, popular and stuff... But... Honestly, I don't really like all the attention. I'd rather just be left alone, but of course, I've gotta act like some cool guy popular kid, that's how they all know me after all... It's really... tiring.
Anyways, onto the whole... Isekai shenanigans, I'm currently in an inn with the other two, why? Well, to get to that, allow me to fill you in on my entire situation.
So, the King told us about how demons have started to invade the neighbouring kingdoms, they summoned us to fend them off when they inevitably attack them too. And well, to do that, we need to get stronger... or level up in the terms of this world. He gave us some money to go out and get some armour and weapons.
I mean, he could of like, sent us on our way with some companions maybe, but okay.
Hah... Can't change it now.
I stand up from the bed I was lying on, changing into the armour I had bought. I approach the door when...
"OI! YUU, T--" The door comes swinging open onto my forehead as Togeshi yells out.
I stumble back and grab onto my forehead, "Ow, ow ow ow..." I mumble.
"Oh! Sorry there, man! Didn't notice ya!"
"Hah... It's fine, what is it?"
"Well, food's ready!"
"Ah, I see. Have you and Akane eaten?"
"Yep! So we've just gotta wait for yo--" I cut him off.
"Then let's depart."
"Eh? Already? Aren't ya hungry?"
"No, we have to get strong as fast as possible. Who knows when the Demons could attack... We'll aim for level thirty." I put the gloves I was holding on and began to leave.
"Hmmm, if you say so!"
...
"HAH!" Togeshi shouted as he slammed the gauntlets he was wearing into the Ogre.
The Ogre blocked the attack, seconds before he returned the attack at him, a burst of fire hit it on the back, searing it.
It let out a deafening roar, looking behind itself.
"Flame Flare!" Akane chanted a spell, another one of the former spells hit the Ogre again.
It recoiled in pain, giving me the chance to attack. Running up to it, I drove my sword through its chest, swiftly ending it. It fell to the ground
>EXP gained, You are now level 16.<
"Hah... sixteen...? We should keep going." I said, taking out a small knife used for collection.
"Alright! I've got enough energy for a thousand more fights!" Togeshi spoke, full of enthusiasm. I began taking the horns from the Ogre, I think... I remember a merchant I met telling me they're worth a bit.
"Eh...?" Akane Sighed as she leaned against a tree, "Still? We've been fighting for longer than an hour now... Fine, what are you doing, anyway?"
"I'm collecting the horns," I responded.
"... Yeah, I get that-- Nevermind."
"Then let's continue."
