As a regular high school student in Class F, Grade 2 of Chiba Prefecture’s Sōbu High School, Shirokawa’s homeroom teacher was, unsurprisingly, Hiratsuka Shizuka.
Perhaps it was because of his appearance.
To take over the position of Hikki Hachiman, he needed to max out his “Student” profession level, leading him to be ranked first in the grade in all aspects.
Personality-wise.
He got along well with his classmates, even becoming the representative for Japanese class.
“How do I take a day off, this is the problem.”
Cradling Hiraki Hanako’s large thunder, Shirokawa woke up in the morning, and the first thing he had to consider was this problem. He couldn’t just say he was going to another world.
Would he go to awaken the “Great Mage” profession with Megumin?
He gently hugged Marie, who was about to fall apart, and looked at the gradually brightening sun outside the window. After some simple deliberation, he still chose to open LINE.
He found Hiratsuka Shizuka's profile picture.
After much thought.
Shirokawa felt that he should be honest and directly typed to ask: “Hiratsuka Sensei, I have something to do today and I want to take a day off.”
“...”
After sending the message, he, who was used to getting up early, didn't go back to sleep.
Back at home, he washed up briefly. After all, having no reason to take a day off was a bit far-fetched. He considered it preparation for going to Sōbu High School.
If all goes well.
Then Shirokawa’s next goal would be the “Konosuba” world where Aqua was.
As the sound of the key turning in the lock, he knew it was Izumi Mio-san coming over without having to think about it. He looked at her sleepy appearance.
Yawning.
Izumi Mio’s voice lacked even a little energy: “Good morning, Shiraishi-kun.”
“Good morning, Aunt.”
For an erotic artist, staying up late is absolutely normal. Shirokawa didn’t think it was a big deal, and casually greeted her.
He took a bottle of milk from the fridge.
He was just about to warm it up with hot water, when his phone in his pocket vibrated briefly. He opened it and saw it was a message from Hiratsuka Shizuka.
“Shiraishi-kun, is there something you need to take a day off for?”
“...”
Given Hiratsuka Shizuka’s nature of caring about her students, this response didn’t particularly surprise Shirokawa. It was easy to come up with any excuse to fool her.
He thought carefully.
There was no need to come up with random excuses, so he replied seriously: “Teacher, it’s not convenient to say, but this is an important matter that needs to be dealt with, so I can only take a day off.”
It seemed like she was driving and waiting for the traffic light to turn green.
He soon received good news.
“Have the other classmates help relay today’s lessons. If things get difficult to handle, you can call me.”
“Thank you, Sensei.”
In many online novels of the past, Hiratsuka Shizuka was described as a violent woman. Shirokawa certainly didn’t agree with that. Only by interacting with her.
Could he truly understand how dedicated this teacher was to each and every student.
He smiled and shook his head. He then turned his gaze to the breakfast that was about to be cooked: hot milk, paired with a runny poached egg and a sandwich.
Breakfast was quite plentiful.
Seeing Izumi Mio taking off her apron and leaving listlessly, Shirokawa chose to invite her: “Aunt, aren’t you going to eat?”
“No need.”
“I want to go back and catch up on some sleep.”
She couldn’t even look directly at Shirokawa. Izumi Mio just wanted to go back to her house quickly. Mainly, she hadn’t expected that last night.
For such a short time.
Just by seeing those clearly defined muscles, she actually had a dream about her.
Doing that kind of… embarrassing stuff with Shirokawa!
She quickly waved her hand, suppressing the feeling that was gradually sprouting deep within her. Under the pretense of making up for lost sleep, she chose to slip away at this moment.
“...”
“I don’t know why, but I feel like Mio-san is a bit weird.”
Shirokawa’s brows furrowed slightly. As the security door closed again, he simply finished the breakfast on the table, and didn't think about it any deeper.
He decisively opened the Dimensional Chat Group.
With Aqua and Gabriel in it, the content of the chat group was basically spammed. He simply browsed through it but didn't find any useful information.
He directly opened the function of the otherworldly teleportation anchor.
“Would you like to travel to the ‘Konosuba’ world?”
“Yes!”

Newbie adventurer city.
Axel.
In the morning, the Adventurer's Guild had already gathered quite a few adventurers. They were all gathered in front of the profession counter, their eyes full of expectation.
Blonde hair tied into a high ponytail.
The big sister Luna wearing the Adventurer's Guild uniform. Her beautiful appearance was impossible to ignore, and her curvaceous figure was even more eye-catching.
In front of all the adventurers.
Luna’s eyes were quite astonished. She couldn't help but exclaim: "Ha? Besides her intelligence being below average, and her luck being so low that it’s bottomless.”
“Her attributes are all significantly above average!”
With the guild’s most popular 看板娘’s exclamation, the adventurers around couldn’t help but cheer for Aqua.
“Although she can't be a magic user who requires high intelligence…”
“She can choose any other profession she wants, Crusader, Lord of the Sword, High Priestess, basically all the high level jobs can be chosen at the beginning!
“...”
Aqua held the adventurer card in both hands, her face dull without any light. Her eyes were fixed on the last column of luck value.
As if she had lost her dreams, she was a salted fish.
Her vacant eyes were fixed on Luna, the 看板娘. She felt that the adventurers around her were particularly noisy, and couldn’t help but ask: "Is there a way to improve luck?"
“Hmm.”
“Luck actually doesn't have much of an effect on an adventurer! And lucky attributes are decided at birth and can’t be improved.”
“...”
For some reason, Aqua finally understood why the check-in in the Dimensional Chat Group always gave her the lowest points.
Life felt… so boring.
However.
As magic flowed beside her, the formation of the otherworldly teleportation anchor gradually formed, attracting Aqua's attention.
As the brief light ended.
Shirokawa, dressed in casual sportswear, suddenly appeared beside her. Noticing Aqua’s existential despair, out of politeness.
He smiled and greeted her.
“Good morning, Aqua!”
“You… who are you?”
Aqua briefly regained her mood. This teleportation magic was definitely not a product of the current world, and the other party actually knew her.
She recalled the reminder message that suddenly popped up in the Dimensional Chat Group last night.
Her beautiful and intelligent face was now furrowed with doubt as she asked: "You wouldn’t be… that ordinary high school student, would you?!”
“...”
A moment later, Aqua completely disregarded her image and hugged Shirokawa's arm, her voice choked with tears: “Please.”
“Teach me how to improve my luck. I don’t want to stay in this world anymore!!!”
