Returned from Another World, Earth Turned Out to Be Quite the Fantasy Too. Also, Losing Heroines, Stop Looking This Way - V6 Chapter 72
「Isn’t it risky to stream videos from another world?」
The sound of drums echoes, as kappa gather around a bonfire by the riverbank, joyfully dancing. When they notice Natsumi, they beckon him over. Following their invitation, Natsumi steps onto the riverbank. The kappa warmly welcome him, and they dance together, wildly.
Before long, a beautiful emerald kappa emerges from the river, seemingly invited to dance.
“Please, save our clan, Kappa.”
Drums beat on. The beautiful kappa and others kneel and bow their heads.
“Please, take care of our clan, Kappa.”

“Kappa Great Deity! Are you the Kappa Great Deity!?”
Natsumi wakes up in bed, reaching out his arm into the void.
“Nat-chan?”
“What’s this about the Kappa Great Deity?”
Abe Madoka and Abe Shinonome, already awake, are surprised by Natsumi’s voice.
“Sorry, got a contact from the Kappa Great Deity.”
“Saturn… been alive since ancient times, but never heard of the Kappa Great Deity. Which world’s god are you contacting, Natsumi?”
“The Kappa world!”
“That world doesn’t exist.”
Saturn looks bewildered.
“The Kappa Great Deity asked me to help their clan. What does that mean? There must be a deep reason.”
“I don’t want to say this, but Nat-chan, what if what you saw was a dream?”
“Really? I felt a great power from the Kappa Great Deity, so I don’t think it was a dream.”
Though it was a dream, Natsumi was convinced it was a contact through the dream.
“I feel bad for the Kappa Great Deity, but today is the anniversary of destroying another world, so we must get ready.”
“Natsumi, no, Natsumi-kun. You must not destroy another world.”
“Saturn! Even though you’re a demon lord, you care about such details!”
“It’s not a small matter! Whether the world ends or not is not a small matter at all!”
Surely, seeing the dream of the Kappa Great Deity made Natsumi feel energized from the moment he woke up.
“Looks promising! Seems like a good day ahead!”
“Saturn, you worry too much.”
Looking out the window, the sun shines brightly, and birds chirp.
It truly seemed like it was going to be a good day.

Having breakfast with everyone, Natsumi pretends to go to school, says “I’m off!” to his mother, leaves the house after everyone else, and meets up with them at the cafe “First Wife,” where God is present.
“Hello! Today, we, this group, plan to go and destroy another world! We might encounter some grotesque scenes as we trample the locals, so please be prepared!”
“Why are you filming this!”
Natsumi, eager to livestream with his smartphone, gets a smack on the head from Koume. Koume is already dressed in Haruko’s hand-me-down sailor uniform.
“Isn’t it a bad idea to stream videos from another world?”
Ginako, who has the magical swords Hanako and Tarou attached to her belt, is dressed in her high school uniform from her JK days.
“…Isn’t it better to upload photos of yourself dancing in a pseudo-JK style rather than posting fake ones?”
“What do you mean by fake?! Hey, Natsuki-kun!”
“Ginako-san… I think it’s actually okay if you look like you’re trying too hard!”
“Huh? Do I look like I’m trying too hard? I just struck a pose in front of the mirror this morning, feeling all confident.”
“You’d be perfect if you covered your face with your hands!”
“I now have a good idea of the kind of sites Natsuki-kun usually visits.”
“Oh, my silly Natsuki! Why expose yourself!?”
Thinking he was praising Ginako but actually revealing his own secret, Natsuki is troubled, and Chie Morichishou, despite saying it’s morning, approaches him with a tired expression.
“You’re so high-spirited in the morning. Geez, I’m mentally and physically exhausted here.”
“Good morning, Chie-san!”
Despite saying such things, Chie is also properly dressed in a uniform. Not a gakuran, but a navy blue blazer.
“It’s because it’s Natsuki-kun.”
“Oh, Kazuto. Good morning.”
“Yeah, good morning.”
He greets Kazuto, who is wearing a school uniform and carrying a school bag on his shoulder. Like Chie, he seems somewhat tired.
“Huh?”
“What’s wrong?”
“Is it just me, or… Chie-san and everyone else, have they become stronger?”
“Yeah. Yesterday, I trained with Akiko, Susasu-sama, Samatan, and Mamon.”
“What’s with that all-star lineup!?”
“With Chie-san, Seishiro-san, Gisuke-senpai, Miyako-san, and Mio-san… Honestly, it was tough.”
Whether remembering the training or not, both Kazuto and Chie have pale faces.
“To think we were able to receive training from Susanoo-sama, I am truly grateful.”
“Seishiro-san, good morning.”
“Good morning, Yurinatsuki. The day to test our own strength in another world has come… I am excited.”
“Did you suddenly change your character?”
Seishiro is also dressed in a school uniform, but his manner of speaking is strange. It’s a bit unsettling, but Natsuki’s feelings quickly dissipate.
“Night dew, death agony!”
“Gisuke-san!?”
Seishiro’s nephew, the young boy Gisuke, is wearing a short-sleeved shirt and, with his hair slicked back using hard wax, puts on purple sunglasses.
“Bring on the other world!”
“G-Gisuke-san, your presence is intense! Seriously, you’re amazing!”
Feeling overwhelmed by the pressure that doesn’t match his five-year-old appearance, Natsuki ends up looking like a follower.
For those who are unfamiliar with short-sleeved shirts and slicked-back hair, please look it up. Just to clarify, they are modified uniforms that delinquents used to wear.
