I remembered as far as the part where I killed the last demon tribe at the gate of the demon world.

There, I thought I had reached my physical limit and had accepted death.

But the next thing I saw was the familiar buildings and asphalt ground.

People passing by in the streets, cars and traffic lights that seemed to symbolize modernity.

“…… What is this? What’s going on?”

I looked around, puzzled.

Am I dreaming? This is …… Japan, no matter how I look at it.

I think …… I was already dying.

But when I defeated all the demons,…… I thought, a strange power flowed into my body.

The power of the heroes who fought with me in the gates of the …… demon world.

I think it led my body somewhere.

Maybe that’s why I was able to survive like this.

……The heroes whose names I don’t even know.

Thank you. ……I’m alive thanks to all of you.

While thanking them for saving my life and returning me to the world, …… I scratched my head.

I wasn’t that great of a person when I was in Japan.

I don’t think there’s anything in particular I want to do when I come back.

“…What am I going to do now?”

As I looked around, puzzled, my pocket shook.

I took it out and found my …… phone.

I hold it and feel a little uncomfortable. It’s an older type of phone than the one I …… had before I was summoned to another world.

What, what’s going on? The phone I took out has an incoming call on it.

If I look at it, the name of the person on the other end is written as …… Manager Komori.

This guy is …… the manager of the first convenience store I worked at after graduating from junior high school because I had to work anyway, right?

Why is this guy calling me now? I erased his contact information, didn’t I?

I don’t have …… good memories of Manager Komori.

I was new to the workforce, ignorant and stupid and didn’t know what was right or wrong, and I was still forced to do whatever Manager Komori told me to do.

Rusty work was commonplace, and when seasonal products went unsold, the money was deducted from my paycheck. ……

I want to punch myself for being so ignorant at the time and thinking that society was like that.

I thought about ignoring it, but I didn’t have many people I could call acquaintances. ……

Maybe because I was feeling nostalgic,…… I put my phone to my ear.

“Hello?”

“You, how long are you making me wait? Aaah!?”

……manager Komori used to say that he used to be the head of a motorcycle gang or something like that.

Due to his intimidating appearance, I always kept my head down, but having lived in Japan for 40 years, I knew that such an intimidating attitude was unacceptable.

“…What happened all of a sudden? Isn’t that the right way to say it since it’s been 20 years since we last called?”

Even though the person I was talking to was my senior, I couldn’t help but get angry with him.

…In this other world, there were many people who would criticize me for using honorific language, so I basically didn’t use honorific language.

As expected, the person on the other end of the phone seemed irritated by my attitude.

“Aaah! You’re getting carried away! what is 20 years! You just started a part-time job last month! I’m going out with a girl today, so fill in for the late-night job! Come here right now!”

“….Eh? No, I quit my job a long time ago.”

What? What is this guy talking about?

Manager Komori was saying something I didn’t understand, and I turned my head and …… suddenly saw my own face reflected in my phone and was surprised.

“What the hell is this?!”

“You! ? Don’t suddenly make such a loud noise! ”

That means you too!

No, I don’t care about this guy right now. The face I saw on the black screen of my phone was …… oddly, young.

……Yes, I looked as young as I did when …… I graduated from junior high school and I turned 16 years old.

What, what’s going on? While manager Komori was ranting about something, I ignored it and checked the calendar on my …… phone.

The year 2025, huh?

……. Somehow I’ve slipped back in time to when I was 16.

“What the hell happened ……”

“Hey! Don’t ignore me! Come here quickly! If you don’t, I’m not going to pay your salary!”

I put aside Manager Komori, who snapped and hung up the phone, for the moment and checked my situation with what I had on hand.

I Check my current situation from my wallet, smartphone, and other things I have.

 
…… no doubt. I’m the guy I was when I was 16 years old now.

The clothes I wear are cheap shirts and pants. The luggage I carry is minimal and my wallet is very lonely.

This is definitely me when I started working at a convenience store after graduating from junior high school because I couldn’t go to high school.

Did I die in that battle and …… for example, is this a dream world or something?

Or, do I really have gone back in time?

“Oh, I don’t …… know what’s going on anymore.”

Scratching my head, I let out a small breath.

…… from here on, I’m supposed to go back to living in hell in Japan?

……Well, I have memories from before the time slip, so I may be a little better on my feet than before,…… but still….

I’ll have to get a part-time job for now.

I will need money if I want to live in Japan.

No matter what I do in the future, I will first need money. ……I’ll stop working at that convenience store as soon as I get paid.

The distance from here to the convenience store is quite long, isn’t it?

……It would be a lot easier if I could use the transfer magic I got in another world.

The moment I thought of such a joking thought.

A hole opened up in front of me.

Nnnn!

Unexpectedly, I turned my gaze to the hole.

…… This is transfer magic, isn’t it? It is a convenient magic that allows you to move to a place you have visited once.

Hey, why am I still holding the magic too? ……
