4 - The Legendary Hero Appears!

Between Korone, the attacker, and Hiroshi, Akuto was barely able to sleep. He tended to worry too much, so he was lying alone in his bed, half lost in thought. If Korone was there, she would have made fun of him no matter what was going on. Only now did he realize how much that had helped him, and how serious her disappearance was.

Eventually he got tired and passed out, only to be woken up early the next morning by Junko.

“You idiot! What did you do? Look in front of the dorm! The villagers are demanding to see you!”

Akuto leapt up from the bed.

Junko must have just woken up too, because she was dead pale and wearing a T-shirt and sweatpants. Something must have been causing a stir.

After a moment, Akuto remembered what had happened yesterday. The villagers were probably angry about Yukiko.

“Well, this isn’t good... But yeah, I think I am to blame.”

“Idiot! What did you do?!”

“It’s not my fault... but I think they misunderstood me.”

He looked at the clock. It was 5:00 AM. When he went out into the hallway, Miss Mitsuko and Hiroshi were there.

“Looks like they’re having some kind of riot! Big trouble on this little island, huh? Lots of fun! Or maybe not.”

Miss Mitsuko must have just gotten up too, because she was very excited. Hiroshi, however, was frowning and trying his best not to look at Akuto.

—Oh jeez...

Akuto was feeling depressed, but he also had a strong sense of responsibility and justice. He decided that he was at fault after all, and that he had to apologize.

“I’ll explain things to the villagers. I’m sure they’ll understand. We don’t want there to be any kind of fuss.”

“There’s already a big fuss,” Miss Mitsuko laughed.

Hiroshi looked even gloomier, but he spoke up when Akuto walked by.

“I’m sorry, boss. The people from my home are...”

“Don’t worry about it. I did something that caused a misunderstanding. I’m sure if we can talk things out, they’ll understand.”

Akuto started to walk towards the front door. But when he got to the point where he could see out the window, he realized that something strange was going on.

A few dozen men standing outside, surrounding the front door. The youngest was middle-aged, and many of them were elderly. They were all carrying shotguns, machetes, and other weapons. He could see from their bloodshot eyes that something was very wrong, but their expressions spoke of terror, not anger.

—They’re afraid of me, huh? But that’s why I need to calm them down.

Akuto gulped.

He had to be ready for this. There was no telling what these people might do when they were afraid. On his own, he might be fine, but he didn’t want to cause any problems for the people around him. And ironically, while physical damage didn’t mean much to him, mental damage hurt him really hard.

He took a deep breath and opened the door. The villagers all murmured as they looked towards him.

All of them took a step back.
