7 – Special – Kyoko Miwayaki

dissembler.

Could there have been a more accurate word to refer to her?

Kyoko Miwayaki considered herself a hypocrite.

No, to be precise, he had to be a hypocrite.

The teenage school, which should shine brightly, was like thin ice that could be broken at any moment.

The classroom, where each relationship was connected like a complicated thread, was very precarious, and it seemed that all the threads would break if moved even slightly.

“Kyoko is such a nice kid.”

The ideal child that parents want and the ideal friend that friends want. The ideal disciple the teacher wants, and so on.

Kyoko was strangely obsessed with the title of ideal.

The reason started from a scene she had witnessed in the past.

When she was in elementary school, she was surrounded by a child and many other children.

It was the first day she witnessed what the world calls Lee Ji-mae (bullying). To the young woman, it was so terrible that it shocked her.

Both the children who are the ringleaders of Lee Ji-mae and the children who are the victims.

She didn’t even know what happened between them.

Only the anxiety and fear rising from deep within her body were shaking her body.

The vague anxiety that she might one day become like that made her learn to notice from an early age.

As I became a middle school student and a high school student, the obsession intensified.

It shouldn’t be different from others.

Also, there was absolutely nothing that was particularly special about it.

To be different from others is to be weeded out in relationships.

A person who is smarter than others.

A person who stands out more than others.

A person who doesn’t get along well with others.

They were all rejected because they were different.

The collectivism deeply rooted in society was not an exception even to young students.

Having seen the words of those who were weeded out over and over until now, she has been working hard to become like others.

I was able to feel a little relieved only when I had the same hobbies as the children in the relationship of friends, formed the same consensus, and intervened in the same conversation.

Relations between people were very conservative and extremely uniform, to the point that it is colorless to say that it is an era where individuality is respected and one’s own speciality is a source of strength.

People wanted group solidarity rather than individual individuality.

But that alone made Kyoko happy.

It was because he believed that if he maintained a relationship like that, adverse circumstances would not come to him.

But that misfortune always came quietly.

It started with a feud between one child and another who belonged to the same group.

Like children in puberty, emotional changes happened rapidly, like a whirlpool, and it was natural for them to fight often.

However, the fights of this era did not create a piecemeal situation.

Even if the two of you are friends, there will definitely be someone on the stronger side. And the invisible war that starts under the leadership of the strong side begins.

Even if they originally belong to the same group, one of them becomes an existence that does not belong to that group.

I’m afraid that the kids who were chatting with me and my friends until yesterday and myself will end up like that too. Turn your back on the child and force yourself to ignore it.

That’s how the child is completely alone at school.

After that happened, Kyoko was also one of the children who turned away.

Until now, I have been working hard not to be put in such a situation. I didn’t want to ruin my school life for nothing.

Kyoko mercilessly drew a line towards her friend who was in despair, or rather, towards the child who was her friend.

After that, it was the same as before.

Except for the excluded child. Occasionally, the child stepped in the snow, but Kyoko tried to ignore him.

The incident happened at the point where one month, two months, three months passed like that.

The winter of that year that was cold to the bone.

The fact that the child had jumped into the river near the school was heard through the homeroom teacher during assembly time.

It felt like my heart was sinking.

Of course, the school was turned upside down, and even the police started investigating.

Kyoko, who once hung out with the boy, also came under investigation.

And during the investigation, Kyoko was able to confirm the child’s will.

” I hate you. I hate you guys. why did you do that to me What the hell did I do wrong? I wanted to reconcile I wanted to live a school life with you guys laughing again… 」

Kyoko couldn’t say anything.

It was such a great shock that he was now among the perpetrators of Lee Ji-mae, who looked so terrifying in his elementary school days.

After that, Kyoko, who was greatly shocked, could no longer go to school normally.

refused to go to school.

After filling only the number of days of attendance at school, the rest of the time was always confined to the room.

I no longer wanted to be involved in a relationship in real life.

Even as an adult, I always built a big wall and hid behind it.

Everyone called her irresponsible hikikomori.

All of that was true.

In the end, it was he who drove the child to suicide, and he was the one who couldn’t overcome the guilt and locked himself in his room.

Whenever that happens, she escapes to the Internet.

Locked in her room and first getting to know the community, Kyoko came across a post.

[ Chaps are an ugly nation wwww ]

Articles cursing Korea, a country she was not normally interested in and did not even know about, continued to be uploaded.

It took me a while to find out that the community was a site used by people with far-right tendencies.

Although she voluntarily became alone, ironically, she was hungry for attention from others.

But too afraid to return to reality, she posted to the community. I didn’t know anything, so I just noticed and copied other people’s posts little by little and wrote.

The first comment on that post.

[ agree. ]

Kyoko felt chills run down her spine at the strange feeling. Time passed and no one spoke to him, but this unknown person sympathized with his words.

After that, I couldn’t stop writing.

It was indeed foolish to curse at unknown Koreans in the name of alleviating one’s loneliness, but the more they slandered them, the more attention followed.

When I was getting used to hiding behind anonymity and getting attention, a post came up in the community.

【First-come-first-served basis for those who want to become a hero in another world! ! !]

By: [Goddess]

「Condition: Must be a beautiful girl! No other conditions!! You will regret it for the rest of your life if you miss this opportunity!! 』

It was an incomprehensible text.

Kyoko shrugged.

It’s a strange person. The thing that overflowed was the Internet.

This person, like himself, must be hungry for attention and write such strange writings.

Feeling sorry for her, Kyoko left a comment.

【comment】

[CSJ SLAYER] : Strange guy wwww

However, I was afraid to leave a comment, so the reply came right away.

[CSJ SLAYER] : Strange guy wwww

└[Goddess]: Conditions met! Then let’s start summoning right away!

└[CSJ SLAYER] : What is this guy saying all of a sudden…?

Kyoko tilted her head at the goddess who suddenly said that if the conditions were met, she would start summoning.

“lie! What is this!”

In an instant, a dazzling blue magic circle appeared beneath Kyoko’s feet, who was sitting in front of the computer.

“Aww!”

I lost my mind in the blinding light.

Kyoko, who hadn’t gone outside for two years, was dragged out of the room by force.

***

Consciousness gradually returned.

The heavy eyelids slowly loosened, and Kyoko struggled to open her eyes.

‘who…’

When Kyoko opened her eyes again, a man she had never seen before stood with a worried expression on her face.

He shouted at Kyoko, but Kyoko couldn’t understand what he was saying. But this language. It was somehow familiar.

it’s korean

I was able to notice it at once because I had often encountered it in the community.

It was the first time I actually met Koreans.

I don’t know if the current situation is a dream or not, but the fact that I’m facing a Korean who cursed every day felt so strange.

The red-haired woman next to me looked Chinese.

She, too, continued to look around to see if she did not understand the situation.

At that moment, a woman with white wings appeared.

I noticed. That this woman is a goddess.

She moved the three in front of her.

Among the three panicked people, the Korean man ran to the side of the goddess first.

Then he jumped up and started arguing with the goddess.

I couldn’t understand what he said, but judging from how angry he was, the Koreans must have been very angry.

And when the goddess muttered something with a puzzled expression on his face, he put on a dejected expression.

“ah! All three of them speak different languages, so communication is difficult. Then, what will I do with that part?”

As the man slumped, the goddess spoke to the three in a hasty tone.

“Finished! The translator will work with the accent you usually use.”

After the goddess spoke, the three of them fell silent for a moment.

Still now, I couldn’t believe this reality.

Around the time he was sitting blankly, he, who was standing upright, reached out his hand to Kyoko first.

As the goddess said, it was translated, and the words reached Kyoko’s ears.

The first time I heard his words were very foreign.

But on the other hand, it felt somehow familiar.

he said.

“Nice to meet you! I’m a Japanese gay!”

It’s a bit odd, but it means nice to meet you, right?

Kyoko wanted to say hello as well, holding her hand and waving it.

“It’s an unusual greeting. It’s the first time I’ve heard of it! Is that how everyone greets you in Korea?”

It was strange.

He just returned the greeting, but the man sat down as if he had seen a ghost.

The Chinese woman who raised him up was speaking in an extremely serious tone to Kyoko’s eyes.

They are very strange people.

Kyoko thought so.

When she landed in the middle of the wilderness without anything, Kyoko made up her mind.

A normal person, let’s come to our senses.

He made a firm decision, saying that if he believed in those two people, he would die soon.

‘Because I’m the only normal person here!’
