In a simple room located somewhere unknown, Serious-senpai, the embodiment of the concept of seriousness, is staring at a book with a complicated expression on her face. The book on the small table in front of the chair sheās sitting on is the 2nd Volume of the Light Novel āI was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World is at Peaceā.
[ā¦ā¦Thatās strange. Theyāve added a lot of serious stuff in the 2nd Volume, so I should have manifestedā¦ā¦ but I wonder why Iām still āhereā?]
Murmuring to herself, Serious-senpai looked at the room she alone was in, āthe exclusive waiting room to the children treated as unwanted in the main storyā. When she learned of this fact, Serious-senpai was quite indignantā¦ā¦ but even though she didnāt appear in the 1st Volume, she was convinced that she would appear in the 2nd Volume, holding such optimistic thoughts that made no sense to others.
However, she was still staying in this room even after the release of the 2nd Volume, making her bewildered by this situation.
[The Author announced that they would add a lot of source material from the Web Novel, and the main focus of the 2nd Volume would be the Death Kingā¦ā¦ With that being the case, there should have been an increase in the amount of serious scenes. However, I wonder if it would be alright if I, the incarnation of seriousness, havenāt appeared?]
Of course, this is all one-sided assumption on Serious-senpaiās part. Moreover, since there was no one else in that room but her, she naturally received no response. However, Serious-senpai didnāt doubt that āthere was an increase in serious developmentsā, and was even worried about the completion of this series because the Author hadnāt asked for her cooperation. Today too, Serious-senpai is in her perfect form.
[ā¦ā¦Well, I guess nothing would start if I donāt read it first huhā¦ā¦]
After quietly muttering to herself, Serious-senpai picked up the book and started reading it. Sheās basically honest to a fault. Even though she isnāt a fan of āflirting scenesā or āheartwarming scenesā, she will never skip them. In the first place though, sheās too dumb to even think that avoiding things sheās uncomfortable with is actually possible.
[ā¦ā¦G- Gununu. Is that Death King not going to come out yet? Geez, Iām almost halfway throughā¦ā¦ Oh? Sheās come! The Death King has appeared! Alright, a surge of seriousness is finally waving in!]
With the appearance of the Death King, who sheād been expecting since Volume 1, Serious-senpaiās tension rose to new hands, and the hand that flipped the pages became even more vigorous. Though it ended up being pointlessā¦ā¦
[ā¦ā¦Arehh? The seriousness ended already? T- Thatās strangeā¦ā¦ Have I accidentally skipped a page or two? Whereās the increase in seriousness? Whereās the over a hundred pages of serious developments?]
It seems that the increase in seriousness she was expecting, obviously, isnāt there. Flustered, Serious-senpai repeatedly returned a couple of pages back to check, but even after she did that, the contents written in the novel didnāt change.
""
[ā¦ā¦T- Thatās impossibleā¦ā¦ They didnāt revise the seriousness of this novel? T- Then, what the heck did they revise!? Disregarding seriousneāāā Khaak!?]
Shuddering at the thought that seriousness hadnāt been added, she flipped to the next page and vomited a great amount of blood.
[I- It turned into a sweet development. Eh? No way, Iām still in the middle of the book, you know? Is the rest of the novel going to be just flirting content? N- No wayā¦ā¦]
For the incarnation of seriousness, Serious-senpai, such sweet developments deal her severe damage. Even so, the fact that she didnāt stop reading the book shows how foolhardy she was. Thereupon, after Serious-senpai read on, vomiting blood over and over again, and finished reading the whole book, she closed it and sighed.
[The revision is freaking more flirting scenes with the main heroine!? Why? In the Web Novel, the main heroine has been rather inconspicuous, you know? Whatās with all the new events and the increase in her heroine power!?]
Serious-senpaiās shout echoed in the empty room. In the first place though, her prediction itself is far too optimistic, but she herself never realized it.
