I am Ishigiro Naoto, I am 17 years old, I am a hikki, I was expelled, a lazy scum, a pervert, I never liked girls, I did not show sympathy for anyone. My height is 169 cm, weight is slightly less than 75 kg, my eye color is purple, my hair is purple after bullying by classmates.
Today I decided to go to the library in order to find new reading material, because you won't get enough of hentai manga alone. It's hard to say what I want, there are many different books in the library, from interesting to delusional. I wish my life would become like that of the heroes from Isekai, but it seems that this will not happen.
— "Black Blade of Masamune", "15 moons", "Wisdom of the Supreme angel". How annoying is it, why is there only what I've already read? It feels like the world around me has stopped, I hate the feeling that nothing happens until you push. I'm going to watch an anime, maybe something will be interesting.
I headed for the exit, passing by one guy who looked like he was stuck in a book.
Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed the contents of the book, something about 4 heroes: with a Sword, a Bow, a Spear and a Shield. But suddenly the book began to glow, and its pages began to flip like crazy.
— What the hell!?
They both said it before waking up in a strange place where there were 3 other people. One of them was blonde haired with a Spear, the second had green curly hair and had a Bow, the third was a black haired young man about the same age as me having Sword, and this guy who was in the library got a Shield.
— H-hey, pal, I do not know how you did it, but bring me back! I don't plan on being here like the four of you. Moreover, I don't even have a weapon.
I started panicking and shaking the guy with the shield, because I got here by accident.
— Calm down! I don't know where we are myself, but try not to panic.
After that, they entered the hall... Priests.
— O great heroes of the Sword, Bow, Spear and Shield, we beg you, protect the world from the Waves of Calamity... Wait a minute, who is this young man? There should be four heroes, but where does the fifth one come from? Guards! Capture the intruder!
The guards grabbed me and held me down, even though I didn't even resist.
— I'm sorry, great heroes. I ask you to go to the throne room. Guards, take him there too, he's unlikely to do any harm in this state.
Everyone went to the throne room to meet the king.
"I am the king of the lands of Melromarc. Great heroes of the sacred Sword, Bow, Spear and Shield, I greet you. I would like to ask you to protect this world from the terrifying Waves of Disaster. The monsters that come during the waves kill everyone they notice and destroy everything in their path. We called you for salvation. Ask you.
— I refuse.
Said the blonde guy with the spear, it looks like you chose the wrong one to be a hero.
— So are we.
A curly-haired and black-haired guys joined in. Looks like these two are some assholes, too.
— We need a reward. Without a reward, it makes no sense for us to strain and protect the world if we ourselves will be homeless on the streets of the kingdom. The blonde guy added.
Apparently, these three will definitely be a problem.
— All right, as you wish. There will be a reward for you. In the meantime, introduce yourself, heroes.
The King pointed at each of the heroes in turn. The first was a black-haired young man.
— I am Amaki Ren, age 16, high school student, Hero of the Sacred Sword.
By himself, Ren fits the description, he has narrow eyes, white skin, and he positively exudes calmness.
The second was a blond man.
— I am Kitamura Motoyasu, age 21, University student, Hero of the Sacred Spear.
You can tell by his appearance that his glass is full to the brim with optimism. And it seems that he is strongly attracted to girls, and his hair is tied in a ponytail.
The third was a curly-haired young man.
— I am Kawasumi Itsuki, age 17, high school student, Hero of the Holy Bow.
He sounds like another narcissistic schoolboy who is proud of himself because of his grades.
It's the guy's turn that I'm here for, but it looks like the king missed him.
— I'm sorry, of course, but the king, you missed me.
He said to pay attention to him, and I have to listen to all this nonsense, although I could just watch anime or read porn as usual. No, thanks, I don't need that kind of life. But the king told the guards to let me go.
— Introduce yourself, young man. You don't look like the others, and I see you don't have a weapon.
It looks like I'll have to introduce myself, otherwise I might end up without a head.
— I am Isigiro Naoto, age 17, not studying, hero of the Sacred... Nothing? Emptiness? Just some kid... Call me whatever you want.
Introduced himself as best he could.
"You're obviously not like the others, as if you didn't want to be here." But come on. Then introduce yourself, I apologize for my rudeness and for missing you.
He pointed at the guy with the shield.
— I am Iwatani Naofumi, age 20, university student, Hero of the Sacred Shield.
Finally, I know the name of the one who got me here, goodbye, the old days of reading manga and all kinds of pornography.
"Naofumi Iwatani, since this young man has arrived unarmed.
