After gruelling hours of practicing inside the Pocket Dinsion, I was able to increase my capacity to at least double its previous size.
Right. Hours of practice and it only amounted to that. This ability was sowhat diocre. One needed thorough hard work to even achieve sothing. In any case, it's just a few hours, there's no point hurrying. I'm not a ga character who can level up after acquiring few experience points.
After filling up the invisible container with psyche energy, I left the dinsion and went up the flight of stairs. This ti, alone.
With how long I was in there, being engrossed by this Pocket Dinsion and control of Psyche Energy existing in it, it's already afternoon and I hadn't even eaten yet.
I should at least grab so lunch, right? Even if it's already this late. One could not fight with an empty stomach, so they say. Surely, that's also applicable for a support like .
Can I really be a support with that ager amount of energy? At best, it can only refresh one's mind four tis if it's not soone like the Principal who has high clarity.
For now, I better adapt quickly to Sugawara's Otherworld to increase the things I can do. I wonder, what type of energy is inherent in it?
When I arrived back in the Principal's Office, Sugawara was back from class and there was a lunchbox in her hands.
Upon seeing , she lifted the lunchbox in front of her before opening her mouth, there's that blush on her face again.
"Kuramoto-kun, here's your lunch."
What's with this developnt? That looked like a handmade lunchbox. Isn't that supposed to be hers? Why is she giving it to ? Is she already so into the role of being my fiancee?
"You don't have to worry, I didn't touch any."
That's not what I was worried about though. Just earlier we were strangers and now she was acting like this. When I first t her before she led to this room, didn't she act like it was her first ti seeing ?
So is that really an act? Why? What's the true history between us?
"Thank you, Sugawara-san."
Since I'm already hungry, there's no point in rejecting sothing being given to . After thanking her and politely adding honorific in her na, I took the lunch box from her. The Principal just watched our exchange with smiles. This father and daughter...
Haa.. There's no point to keep mulling over it when there's no one who will tell what's what. I can ask, true. I can act angry, it's plausible. But what will that get ? Not everything can be done normally here when these two are not normal in the first place.
If I'm not thinking deeply, I might just have settled on the thought that I was brought here because she took a fancy on and the real purpose was for to be her fiancee.
Even if I beco a narcissist, I don't think I will be able to think highly of myself. Thinking as if I have an edge on things is a truly dangerous thought.
I'm quite diocre. My ability was sowhat diocre even with its great potential. I think I already used up all my luck if this engagent thing is real.
Moreover, from the way they acted, there's so sort of history between us. But why can't I rember ever eting them?
"How was it Kuramoto-kun? Have you adapted and improved?"
The Principal asked after the air around us started turning weird. I don't know what to say to this beautiful fiance of mine except for my gratitude for this food.
Even if I am quite handso, I hadn't tried entering a relationship before.
Now, I jumped ahead and got myself a fiancee even before getting a girlfriend. No one will believe if I boast about it to my middle school classmates.
"I improved it to double its capacity."
I answered honestly, there's no point lying about sothing that can decide my safety.
"Hoh. That's quite a great progress considering it has just been a few hours since you accepted everything." the Principal praised. He then looked at Sugawara-san.
"Yuko-chan, have you received their call?"
Huh? Call? Those from Otherworld can call her?
"Yes, Principal, we have 3 hours left before they open the Portal for ."
She nodded and ntioned the remaining ti before our trip to the Otherworld.
"Have you prepared?"
"No, I still need to talk to Kuramoto-kun"
Sugawara shook her head and looked at , her expression was saying she has sothing she wants to say only to . She's hinting for the Principal to give us privacy.
"Alright. Go ahead. I'll leave the room for you two."
After saying that, the Principal left his office. Well, he went down to the place where the Pocket Dinsion was and closed that passage. As to what he will do in there, I have no idea.
"Let's sit down, Kuramoto-kun. A-and you can start eating."
And just like earlier, Sugawara beca flustered again. Is this really her real self? Is her sowhat aloof personality from earlier just a facade?
"Uh. Right. Thank you for the al."
I followed her and sat. There's a table in front of the sofa so I put the lunch box there and opened it. It was really untouched. And just looking at its arrangent, it was carefully made.
"You can call Yuko when we're alone. W-we, we are now engaged with my father's consent."
She's really acting that part already. She's truly serious about our engagent, while I am here doubting everything about our relationship.
"Is it fine? Then you can call Daisuke, too, Yuko. Honestly, I'm still a bit confused about the reason."
The reason why she's like this to . Whatever it is, she's the only one who could answer it. Now that the threat. naly the Principal wasn't here, I could now use this chance to have so of my questions answered.
Upon seeing her expecting gaze as she looked at the lunchbox and , I started eating the food from her lunch box. Surprisingly, it's delicious. Homade cooking's still the best! Did she possibly make this?
"T-then Dai-kun. I see, do you want to know?"
"Dai-kun?!," I was taken aback for a while because of the way she addressed but I was quick in trying to compose myself and answered her, "If possible, yes."
If that was how she wanted to call then I guess, it was fine. Being called like that by a beautiful girl was a bliss in itself after all. They willingly presented this chance, it's a waste to pass up this chance. I'm not so indecisive harem protagonist who will blush every ti he will be involved with a girl.
And by cutting my na to that... It's a form of endearnt, right? This girl... Will she tell ? Am I forgetting sothing that concerned her or the two of us?
"It's sothing that happened way before I beca a Hero. Let's just say, we t each other and you never left my mind ever since then."
We've t even before this whole Hero fiasco? Then why can't I rember her?
"Have we t? Huh? Wait. What is this? I can't recall a part of my mory concerning my past. There's so sort of blank page in my mory."
This blank in my mory. Like how I lost consciousness, it felt like if she hadn't ntioned the past where we supposedly t each other, I wouldn't even recall it at all.
Going by this information, there's sothing that happened way before this eting with her and that was sothing I could neither recall nor even rember happening. If she didn't tell about eting her, I would probably live my life not knowing that there's sothing missing in my past.
"I see. So it's true that you have forgotten everything about . Uhm... then Dai-kun, let brief you about my ability first."
Seeing my confused face, there's a hint of sadness that flashed past her face and she instantly dropped our topic about that past.
I tried following up a question to coax her in telling what she rembered but she only answered that even if she told about it, I would not be entirely convinced about it so it's better for not to now. Perhaps, in the future, she will.
"Your ability determined you to beco a Hero, right?"
Since she already expressed that there's no point telling about it, although it just added to my curiosity, I let us move on to the new topic.
"Sort of, yes, but it's not as amazing as you think. I even find your Adaptability amazing."
Yuko exclaid that she even reflexively reached for my hand.
"Uh. Thanks, Yuko. I'll do my best to support you using it."
Hearing that, Yuko smiled at .
Huh? What is this? Why can a simple smile make my heart throb like this? It shouldn't be normally like this, right? No. I still feel nothing for her for now except the confusion and the things I wanted to know but upon seeing that... it feels like sothing was being tugged inside .
What the hell? Wait, let control my expression.
Ah. But there's no change in my expression. It feels as if I can take even the greatest secret without being surprised.
As her smile faded from her face, Yuko continued. "My ability is called Foresight. It's a bit different from my father's Clairvoyance. My Foresight lets foresee things that will happen. Like earlier. I foresaw that you will leave the dinsion hungry. So I set aside my lunch for you."
I see. That's the reason why she brought this lunch box here.
"What about you? Have you eaten?"
Knowing that this is supposedly hers, I feel sowhat guilty eating it all by myself.
Upon hearing my question, a smile once again appeared on her face. "Yes. You don't have to worry about it. What I ntioned was just a small part of my ability. There's a lot of uses to it, like when in battle. Right now, I can predict up to 5 moves ahead of my opponent."
5 moves ahead. That's pretty amazing already.
"Wait. You ntioned Abilities cannot be used here. How can you..."
The Principal bound and she predicted I will co out hungry. So it's not that one couldn't use their ability. There's sothing limiting them to use it.
"Right. Barely, by using the bit of Psyche Energy stored in my own body. My father's and every Hero's Unique Ability is all being triggered by Psyche Energy. You and Father are different though and mine is a bit higher than normal."
But unlike them, my Adaptability is sothing like a Passive Skill, right?
"I see. So the other Heroes can't freely use their ability here? But when in their world, your own ability gets a boost. Is that it?"
That's the only plausible explanation. Otherwise, there's no point having their ability if they still can't use it there.
"Correct. It's easier to trigger my ability in the Otherworld, sa with the other Heroes. But, the inherent energy of that world, we can bring it back here."
Ah. Right. There's a different kind of energy in every Otherworld. Then is it possible for to also bring them back once I adapted to all of them?
"You guys really are a cheat."
That ant she was carrying with her the inherent energy of that Otherworld. I wonder what that was.
As ti continued to pass, Yuko continued explaining to the things that I should rember before the ti for the Dinsional Portal arrived. She also told about the inherent energy of that Otherworld she was summoned into.
She called it sothing like World Energy and told I would definitely understand it better with my Adaptability once we arrive there.
At least, things were a bit clearer now and I was just excited to finally go on an Otherworld journey and add to that, with this beautiful girl who was now my fiancee. Let's make use of this status and see where it will get . In any case, she's not against it anyway.
When the appointed ti ca, the Principal showed up again. He just wanted to see us off.
From the middle of the room, the space seemingly cracked before a spiral of energy drew a circle and slowly enlarged it, enough for a person to pass through and it stopped at that. It's truly surreal that I got stuck looking at it for at least two seconds.
My Adaptability probably allowed take this as sothing normal and not let be stump on things for too long. My overthinking was an exception though.
When I drew near it along with Yuko, the portal mysteriously widened to allow both of us to enter it.
As it turns out that was also because of my ability. Only Yuko was being summoned to that world and normally, any other individual will be rejected by the Portal, Principal included. However, because of my Adaptability, I was recognized by that Otherworld hence letting pass through as well.
Ah. With this information... there's probably no other Support candidates. I'm the only one who has this ability. This was probably also why they settled on . Only my ability could allow another individual native to this world to travel to another world that is rejecting other outsiders.
Even the other Heroes were only allowed to their designated Otherworld. I am really dood to beco their only Support, huh?
With this, I officially beca a Support of this whole class full of Isekai Heroes.
They were all destined to die but with my appearance, I got a chance to prevent that and that was supposedly my goal. Employing like this. I guess, let's see this first and determine whether I want to run away from this.
But yeah, having this supposed higher clarity and learning about my ability, I couldn't be satisfied with just that. I have to do more than just saving them. As long as I utilize this ability of mine to its utmost potential then I might have a chance to be as strong as these Cheat-like Heroes.
Yuko reached out for my hand and I took it. I would not turn my head away to chances like this. She even took the initiative to reach for my hand, I wouldn't be a man if I refuse it.
After watching the portal and saying goodbye to her Father, the Principal, we stepped inside the Dinsional Portal, leading to her Otherworld nad World of System.
[Detected an unknown being]
[The World recognized it as one of its own]

When my vision turned white and the transfer to the Otherworld started, a series of ssages rang out inside my mind. Due to my high clarity and my Adaptability, I imdiately understood the inherent energy of this world.
Really? Support Character System? Even this Otherworld determined my worth just like that. Support my ass! I wouldn't let it end like this. I would work hard to break that destiny of being the Ultimate Support Character!
