Damn it to hell! Why did she lie to us?! For what reason, really? Was it just so she could laugh at us? Or does she create mayhem just because why the hell not?

Annoying. I would say I can't wait for us to get OP so we can dog-walk her, but her level is infinite.

I want nothing to do with her.

If I was in an anime, I guess the endgame plan would be to kill her after we get the powers of gods or whatever. But quite frankly, that sounds way too hellish.

Hell, maybe she wants that. I wonder if the actual reason she sends us to this world is so that we can get strong and then fight her as the damn final boss.

Yeah... maybe that's the case. Well, she's going to be surprised that we aren't planning to go along with her bullshit... Well, I don't plan to at least.

The president notices my complex expression and asks, “Are you okay?”

“Yeah, yeah... sir president,” I respond.

You know, every time I think about the fact that he's a president and not some king, it just seems jarring. Since when do people in fantasy worlds have the right to choose their rulers?

I guess this world just has more human rights. Democracy, nice.

Wait, those guards tried to kill us. Forgot what I said.

The president then goes in front of us and drops to his knees as if he's in the presence of a king or a higher being.

Vacinay nudges Hessien. “Check this out. He's going to beg us to save his world.”

Ghomas, who overhears, also whispers, “That cut scene takes a bit long, doesn’t it?”

“Mhm. Seems so,” Hessien agrees.

I too agree. Maybe he just remembered?

The president exclaims, “Please! Give us your great wisdom!”

Wait, what?

Vacinay is taken aback. “What? Did he go off-script?”

“It seems so...” I mutter.

Maybe I should stop treating this world like a cliché-filled one. Things have already played out very differently than the mangas I read.

He looks at us with a lot of excitement.

What am I supposed to say?!

Ghomas steps forward, puffing his chest.

Oh, hell no.

He gloriously extends his hand, but I slap it down and exclaim with a straightened posture, “You desire wisdom?!”

The president gasps. The guards and the big guy's eyes shake with awe.

“Yes!” The president is excited.

Resting my hands on my hips, I declare, “The greatest wisdom that has been passed down for generations in our divine realm is that reality defenders shall be treated with absolute respect! They should be served with absolute obedience! When they ask for money, they should be given money!”

I glare at every single one of them, who nods, except for the memorable guy who is a bit perplexed.

I'm probably going to have to get rid of this guy sooner or later.

Then I add more, “Now, to give you a blessing. It’s as the old saying of the sky days announced back in 1765! It’s the wind that brings thunder, and the thunder that brings sun, and the moon that tells animals they can exist! So existence shall be persistent! For flooring is the nexus or the benus!”

I say a load of bullshit, but they all nod with great reverence, so they believe it.

HAHAAHA. There's even a guard writing it down in his notebook. It seems my message is being recorded. It will probably be passed down for generations and be viewed as a prophecy.

The president then stands up and asks, “How old are you all?”

Eh... why did he suddenly ask that? I thought he would break down in tears saying, 'thank you!' or something along those lines. Is my bullshit too obvious? Hell no. Their reaction would contradict that idea.

“I am... seventeen,” I state.

I was going to lie and give a higher age, but I have a feeling adults are 15 or younger in this world. But to be honest, I really shouldn’t be using the knowledge from those fantasy books like I said before.

You know what, I'm actually going to start being careful right now.

I remember reading re: zero and see what happened to the MC because he thought he was the MC(ironic) of the world. There's no way I'm going to allow anything like that to happen to me.

I quickly change my response. “I was seventeen yesterday, so I am eighteen right now.”

I give an anxious laugh. Yeah right, I have six more weeks to go until I turn eighteen. I want to say I was seventeen 2 years ago, but that would be too obvious of a bullshit save.

The other three answer.

“Twenty.”

“Twenty.”

Ghomas shrugs. “The same as those two.”

The president nods. Then he whispers something to the big guy, who nods. The big guy takes a key from his pocket and hands it to me.

“This is the key to your house. Please enjoy your stay, great defenders!”

“Thank you,” I say.

House?

This thing is more of an apartment. We're literally still in the same building we got summoned into. Just the upstairs of it.

He then tells us, “We will assign guards and servants to the house.”

Hmm, that sounds good.

Hessien quickly says, “Nope! No guards inside. Only outside, and no servants staying inside too unless it’s to do a job.”

“Why would you choose that?!” I demand to know.

I want damn servants! I'm literally about to have the life of a wealthy person!

“I will tell you later,” he says.

Vacinay and Ghomas are confused, but for some reason, they soon agree with him.

“Yeah, yeah. What he said.” Vacinay rests one hand on her hip.

“I agree with him.”

The big man then looks at me, waiting for my response.

Vacinay gives me a sharp glare. Is she trying to intimidate me? Really? As if I would be afraid of her.

Then Hessien walks over and hangs his arm across my shoulder. “She agrees with me.”

“Huh!”

He whispers into my ear, “Do you really want to share a house with a bunch of strangers?”

Oh... he makes a good point. Even if they're guards or servants, they're still strangers.

Wait, just how big is this apartment to have so many people in it at one time?

The big man and president comply and walk away with their guards.

The memorable guy announces his name before walking away, “The name is Yuen, by the way. Remember it. I may end up fighting alongside you all in the future.”

We ignore him.

The flow patterns on his face glow as he growls, “Don’t ignore me...”

He probably wants to shout at us but it seems he knows better than to shout at us.

I unlock the door and walk in. Ghomas closes the door while poking his tongue out at the guy.

He hates us for sure.

A second later, the place lights up. The light comes from not just the ceiling, but also the walls. I don’t bother to look for the light bulbs, but Hessien and Vacinay do

.

Hessien nearly screams when he looks at the ceiling. Vacinay grabs a chair instantly, panic in her eyes.

Wait, what's going on?! Are there already assassins?!

Ghomas taps my shoulder and directs my attention to the roof.

Arg... Wha... Why are there snakes emitting light on the ceiling and walls?!

***

The guards gush out while walking downstairs.

“Man! They're freaking reality defenders! I know we joked about them looking weak and all, but they probably got some powerful skill cards!”

“Yeah, I'm betting for sure. And that blessing Lumine told us, what do you think it meant?”

The other guard taps his chin, deep in thought. He takes out his notebook and mutters what he recorded, “For flooring... wind brings thunder...”

Another one snaps his fingers. “I think I get it. She said in 1765, and the wind brings thunder, right? So it’s like a prophecy. In 1765 years, there will be super strong winds that will bring thunder! And as soon as the thunder ceases, the sun will shine!”

The more he speaks, the more confident he becomes. His confidence makes an impression on the other guards, who are amazed. “No way...”

“You are a genius!”

“Damn. We can’t live that long, though!”

The president halts his walk and turns towards them with a blunt expression. “That was bullshit.”

The guards are confused.

“What do you mean?” the big man, who's the Minister of Defense, asks.

“It was all bullshit! That’s what! 1765? Thunder brings wind? For flooring is nexus? She just started saying bullshit! Even the other three looked confused about what she was saying. Also! They're just a bunch of children! An eighteen-year-old and two twenty-year-olds?! Not a damn single adult among them!”

The guards slowly nod, then look at each other. “Yeah... that was suspicious.”

One asks, “Why do you think we got children as reality defenders... unless you think they are fake?”

The others nod in agreement. They turn towards the defenders' location. “Off with their heads!”

“A great beheading shall be announced!”

The president shuts down their idea quickly and says, “Nah, nah. I think they're the real deal. They don’t have flow patterns and they have weird names.”

“Oh.”

“I mean, I guess so.”

Yuen asks, “So... what do you want us to do?”

“Nothing. It doesn’t matter. All that matters is that they can be used.”

“I mean, I guess so.”

Yuen then asks, “So... what do you want us to do?”

“Nothing. It doesn’t matter. All that matters is that they can be used.”
