Harem Cheat Life in Present-day Japan ~The Story of the Male Teen who returned to Earth after saving Another World as the Hero and the Heroines who followed along for some reason~ Chapter 1-8

1-8 Morning

TLed by: TanoshiKara

With nothing of note happening—except Latiana, a restless sleeper, kicking Kikyou's head—the next day arrived.

Not a single alarm rang, but, whether it was because he had the habit of waking up early, Kikyou woke up at the usual time. Lifting his body up slowly to avoid disturbing Latiana's sleep, he gave his body a good stretch and got out of his bed. He then walked steadily towards the window. To prevent the sunlight from getting in, he slipped his hands under the curtain and opened the windows, a moist but pleasant breeze rubbed against Kikyou's cheek.

"......A fine weather"

As if guided by that breeze, he looked towards the sky to find a sea of blue. There were clouds here and there, but considering the number, the weather was what could be described as good.

A pleasant weather and a soothing breeze.

While he, unconsciously, felt overjoyed that the climate suggested something good was about to happen, he looked down.

He then saw the plants in the garden, and the hydrangeas, which had bloomed since time unknown, were damp, perhaps due to the rain last night, and sparkled in the sunlight.

When met with such beautiful scenery, Kikyou unknowingly let out a breath of astonishment.

I suree became a superhuman, or so he thought as an indescribable feeling washed over him at the same time, now that he had experienced first-hand, once again, that his vision right now was so good that he could see the sparkles from the raindrops, from his room on the second floor.

He did have an inkling that he felt it first-hand, but, as he had expected, it seemed like they had returned to this world with the magic and the physical abilities they had trained up in the other world.

......This is really helpful though, or so Kikyou thought.

It is obvious, but nothing is better than having high physical ability. However, Kikyou did not know the reason.

—Why did we return to Earth with our magic and physical abilities?

The Goddess had said it before. The balance of the world would be destroyed should Kikyou and Saki stay in this world; That is why staying permanently is impossible.

However, if that were the case, wouldn't returning them to Earth with their magic and physical ability that is unattainable on Earth, left as is, lead to the destruction of the world's balance?

—That is not all.

Assuming that the Goddess was the one who sent Latiana and the others to Earth, why did she do that? Wouldn't their existence on Earth destroy the world's balance?

I do not think that the Goddess did not have a plan.

—Is there some reason she returned Saki and I, with our abilities left as is, and brought Latiana and the others over to Earth?

"............"

Kikyou let out a sigh after pondering over it.

This is the definition of what they call 'God Only Knows’, or so he thought after that.

"......Oh, it is about time"

It seems like he had pondered for a longer time than he had expected.

It would not have been a problem if it were a rest day with no plans, but today is different.

I need to meet with Saki's mother, or so Kikyou thought as he left the room quietly, so as not to wake Latiana up.

Just as he did that, a slightly sleepy Lumia came out from the room directly opposite of his.

"......Hey, Lumia"

The unexpected timing had Kikyou popping his eyes open.

"......! Kikyou-sama. Good morning"

Lumia's sleepy face was gone in a flash. Lumia put her hand to her mouth, seemingly surprised, before beaking into a kind smile.

"Good morning, Lumia. As expected, you are an early riser even in this world huh"

"We are both," She said as she giggled before she tilted her head.

"Is Kikyou-sama about to prepare breakfast?"

"Uh-huh, I mean to do that"

"I shall help you out"

"Thank you, that helps," Kikyou said as he smiled.

Today was not the first time that Lumia had asked to help out with breakfast preparations. Lumia would always help out even in the other world when Lumia was she was staying at Kikyou's home.

—Even if the world changes, people sure do not change.

Kikyou broke into a slight smile when he saw the ever so similar familial side of Lumia’s.

"Let us be off then"

After Lumia says that, the two of them walk side by side.

"Ah, Lumia," Kikyou said, as if he had noticed something just as they were about to head down the stairs.

He then stretches out his hand towards Lumia.

"Ki-Kikyou-sama!?"

Lumia is surprised by the suddenness of that action of his.

......Is this perhaps a Wall Slam!? No, don't tell me it is more than that......like a ki-ki-ki-kiss!?

Her wild fantasies do not stop. Kikyou's hand slowly draws nearer even amidst this.

Lumia panics. However, seemingly unable to endure it any longer, she closes her eyes, an expectant expression on her face—just then, something pets her hair gently.

"............?"

However, nothing happens after that.

Feeling doubtful, Lumia fearfully opened one of her eyes. When she did that, Kikyou was there, in front of her, with a kind smile on his face, nodding, seemingly satisfied that he had finished doing something.

Lumia was stunned.

"You had bed hair," Kikyou said, while still smiling at her.

"B-Bed hair?"

"Yeap. It was popping out of your hair"

"Ah, is that so? Thank you very much"

The embarrassment from expecting something and the disappointment from nothing happening had Lumia slumping over.

Kikyou tilted his head when he saw Lumia in such a state. He tried to think of the cause but did not quite understand why.

"Well then, shall we start?" he asked her eventually.

Hearing this, Lumia calms herself down.

"Yes, we shall!" She then said as she nodded energetically.
