Crystal Dyed in Black


Standing in front of the crystal.


I’m quite nervous.


It’s like you’re being assessed.


A sleek surface.


I put my hands closer.


“Gulp..”


I put the palm of my hand.


Pito~ tsu.


A faint light came to the surface.


A gentle light.


It can be said that it is weak.


The color is purple.


Gold and silver, black and white have a more special image.


Purple?


It’s the first color I’ve ever seen in my measurements.


Or rather, this.


Isn’t this light the weakest so far?


[Well, next person, please]


Goddess, no way…


From the first crystal measurement, there’s always been a comment.


There’s not even a word of mediocrity.


Are you kidding me?


[Um, my assessment–]


[Next person~!]


-was ignored.


It was decided not have one.


tobo tobo (T/N: plod plod)


I go back to where I was before.


An air mob.


Even in a different world, I’m still air.


Well, this is reality…


I can’t be special even when I came to another world.


There is nothing I can do.


This is me.


This is Mimori Touka.


It’s okay, like this.


An order exists.


Whenever.


Wherever.


I can’t help it.


The mediocre result continued after me for a while.


However, the result seems to have been better than me.


The goddess also commented with a smile.


Even though it’s mediocre.


The measurement was finally over.


[It looks like we have all the best in the first half~]


The goddess puts her hand on her cheek.


[But if there are three S-Ranks and two A-Ranks, it’s too good. I’m not going to hope too much~]


In the order of AIUEO.


Or Lines.


Next is the last in 2-C.


Yasu Tomohiro


Yasu puts his hand on the crystal.


I have a tremendous sense of tension.


[Go!]


A breathtaking relief.


It feels like you are entrusting your own future.


I feel like I believe in something at the same time.


The robed man’s face became sloppy.


[Wha~!? Th- This is-!?]


The crystal was dyed black.


Black smoke is rising up.


The smoke is being released from the crystal.


The robed man turned his eyes away.


[Goddess-sama! Th- This is–]


[Yes… There used to be someone with the same reaction. It was the same reaction as the strongest man who was called the Dark Hero….]


A smile slowly surfaced in Yasu’s face.


[Kukuku~] (T/N: raws say “ku hi~tsu.”)


A compulsive laughter.


[It’s like a thought– it was about time.]


Yasu’s face have changed.


Yasu absurdly asks the Goddess who still looks dignified.


[Let me know my rank, O Goddess!]


It’s not his usual Yasu where he speaks tediously.


The tone has changed.


The goddess answered.


[You are A-Rank.]


[Hmm, same as Oyamada, huh. I thought the coolness is at the level of an S-Rank…]


An indignant Oyamada comes close to Yasu.


[Ah~ ha!? What is it~ Ah!? Yasu huh!? You bastard~ What the heck are you implying, mentioning my name like that!? Just because your results were a little good, you had the gall to say that, hah!? I’m alive right in front of you, hah!?]


Yasu got scared for a moment.


Is it because of the accumulated habits?


However, Yasu quickly smiled.


[The same, We’re already]


[Hah!?]


This time, Yasu comes close to Oyamada with a challenging face.


[Let’s get along as the same A-Rank. Na–]


Excitedly, Yasu said.


[Oyamada?]


[What kind of tone is that, hah! Yasu, you bastard, Imma kill you! You— Uh!?]


It was as fast as a blink of an eye.


In between the two she suddenly appeared, the goddess.


Something like a magic formation is on her arms.


She’s ready to launch her magic.


She’s giving off that kind of vibes.


[A-Rank heroes, please forgive me for scolding you. If it were but a quarrel, I will overlook it a little, but I’m not going to allow the heroes to fight each other seriously.]


The goddess beamed.


[A-Rank heroes are valuable human resources.]


Oyamada can’t move.


Yasu takes a step back.


Cold.


Chilly.


I feel shivers down my spine.


Is this just the goddess’ intimidation?


Or is this killing intent?


For example, in front of beasts, will people be like this?


I can’t move.


I don’t want to move.


[It’s alright now, isn’t it? Next, I’ll show you how to use power in this world.]
