yeah I also think that way and moreover when Liliana blushed in initial chapters(sorry I don't remember exactly) it was for Koukis sweet talking (author said it as a common reaction and not more than that) and this time 'prince(Hajime) saving princess' scenario goes in favor of Hajime.
I hope that Shizuku becomes Hajime's close friend i find their non-romantic banter more interesting and too much harem is a turn off for me.
Besides i always had the feeling that Kouki will one day break down and Shizuku will be the person that helps change him, and afterward they would end up together.
She hasn't. It is a "What If?" - Scenario if Suzu had fallen to the Abyss with Hajime, and wondering what would/could have changed in the narrative.
If memory serves correct
Spoiler for Suzu:
was the girl Hajime saved during the first incursion into the Abyss
and I was just wondering, during the time we have no new chapter, how the story would be different, and possible start a discussion that would not devolve into the usual Kouki-bashing.
I imagine the the beginning of the Abyss-Arc could have gone like this:
Spoiler for The following has not happened in the story:
Hajime and Suzu had hidden for more than a day below ground. Long lines of dried tears marred her face and her sleeve was covered in snot.
She had been crying and pleading at the boy lying only a few feet away from her, pleading at his unmoving body not to leave her alone in the dark.
He was saved by what appeared to be water, dripping into his mouth from above. Suzu quickly used her barrier to collect some of it and feed it to him.
She was quite embarrassed at first, when she had to give it to him mouth to mouth, for Hajime was to weak to swallow at first. She swallowed some of the liquid herself and realized that her Mana had returned almost immediately.
Hajime was still lying on the floor, his breath finally having calmed down.
Suzu's gaze fell to his left arm, or what remained of it, after he pushed her out of the way when they met the demon bear.
It was her fault Hajime had lost his arm.
When the demon bunny was caught by the bear she let out a shriek that alerted the bear to their presence.
Unable to even raise a barrier, she just stood there, looking stupidly into it's direction.
The bear had swiped at her from afar, and only Hajime had realized the potentially dangerous situation and pushed her out of the way with his broken arm.
At fist she was surprised, and even slight angry before she remembered that the bunny had broken his arm.
She was about to say `Doesn't that hurt?ībut no sound left her throat when she looked at Hajime.
His lower arm had been severed by what seemed to be wind blades shot out from the bear.
He hadn't even noticed it, looking at her strangely, before offering her the stump on his left arm.
She will probably never forget the faces he made during that moment. The look of urgency, transforming into disbelieve and then outright terror as his eyes fixated on his stump.
The demon bear leisurely made it's way towards them, presumably having decided that these two little creatures that had wandered into it's domain, were merely a tasty snack it could feast on.
Possibly by pure chance, Hajime's arm had fallen towards the bear, who picked it up with it's claws and started chewing.
The sound of bones being crunched and flesh being torn the only droned out even the splashes of the stream Hajime and Suzu had fallen into.
Suzu's stomach grumbling returned her mind to the present. She couldn't believe she could be feeling hungry while remembering such a horrific scene.
She looked into the bag she desperately clung to during the whole ordeal and took out the few belongings she still had.
The few empty vials of Mana Potions would be useful for storing some of the liquid that saved Hajime's life, but she only had three of them.
The dagger that had hung uselessly on her belt proved useful only as she was digging towards the liquid that. Her hands were probably still dirty from the activity. They no longer hurt after having come into contact with whatever spilled out of the make-shift ceiling that Hajime's synergy skills had made. Would he be angry that she broke the uniformity of the square like room ... what a silly though.
She did find some smashed sweets, but they wouldn't exactly fill her. Why didn't she bring any rations or something? She remembered seeing Hajime taking out food out of his backpack up in the dungeon.
Her stomach made some unflattering sounds again. This time it was growling.
She heard Hajime stirring and looked into his direction again, her ears reddening from embarrassment.
There he laid, only a few feet from her, in a pool of his own blood. His figure only visible because her eyes had slowly gotten used to the darkness.
The person who saved her life not once, but three times since coming into the dungeon.
Her tears had dried on her face. Suzu couldn't rely on Hajime the entire time.
This time she had to do something for him.
Suzu tightened her grip on the dagger she had unknowingly picked up. She needed to find something to eat.
But she didn't want to leave Hajime alone ... didn't want to be alone.
As she suppressed the feelings of hunger, Suzu drew her legs closer and hugged her knees. She turned towards the direction of the tunnel that was created when the both of them escaped underground.
She stuffed some of the smashed sweets in her mouth. Only a little bit. Hoping it could silence her stomach.
was the girl Hajime saved during the first incursion into the Abyss
She wasn't. At least the translated chapter Dreg00 did, mentioned Suzu, Eri and the girl Hajime saved all as different people.
"Some of the students did not feel this way. Shizuku, who was still carrying the unconscious Kaori, Kouki, Ryutarou, Eri, Suzu, and the girl Hajime saved had a dark look."
__________________
I was influenced by a certain group overflowing with madness and started trying to write a story. Please give it a try. Crashed into Fantasy
And your right Quol, Suzu wasn't the girl Hajime saved then. Gun_Seraph did write a very good piece though. You can sort of see it happening, but the changes to the characters would be massive (though Kouki would likely be the same...).
Spoiler for This does not happen in the actual story:
The behemoth struggled against the make-shift prison Hajime had sunk it into.
He looked back as he heard shouting. One of the girls, Suzu, sat on the ground a few meters away from him, pulling a magic potion out of her bag and prepared to throw it towards him.
Why the hell wasn't she behind the battle line?
Her skinned knees offered a likely explanation.
What is this? A second-rate comedy? Hajme thought, catching the vial and gulping down it's content.
Mana filled his body but was quickly being used up by Hajime burying the Behemoth deeper into the ground. Maybe Hajime should stand up and shout "You Shall not Pass" but he quickly buried the thought.
It didn't work out too well for that character ... well, he did get a power-up later but everyone thought he ...
The girl's voice pulled Hajime out of his useless musings. He stood up and dashed towards the girl, Suzu, having expended all of his Mana into burying the Behemoth.
The ground prison held for a few precious seconds.
Behemoth roared. A roar filled with loathing for the puny creature daring to oppose it. The earth shook and cracks appeared as Behemoth thrashed against it's prison.
Finally with the last of the four legs freed, it locked it gaze towards the tiny fleeing creature and gave chase. So focused on it's hated target, Behemoth didn't see the barrage of magic incoming. Colored explosions blinded it and stopped it's advance.
Hajime rushed towards the battle lines as magic attacks poured over him, raining onto the behemoth. As he spotted Suzu, seemingly rooted to her spot, he made the slightest correction of his course in order to help her.
The fireball he did not see coming barely passed by him, the heat singing his clothes and some of his hair before it exploded on the spot where Hajime was merely a moment ago.
Disbelieve and bewilderment clouded his mind as he flew and tumbled in the air.
The shock-wave of the explosion launched him, perhaps ironically, closer to the line of students, slightly ahead of Suzu, who stared at him, with eyes wide open.
Perhaps it was the fireball or the thrashings of the Behemoth, but the bridge finally had enough. Cracks started appearing on several spots on it, before it collapsed into several pieces.
The behemoth, still several meters behind Hajime, clawed desperately at the few remaining footholds before vanishing into the dark.
While Hajime's gaze swept from the place the Behemoth fell, onto the girl Suzu, scurrying backwards on hands and feet.
I think I saw a crab running like that once ... he wondered why he thought of that. But it helped in focus for a few precious milliseconds.
As the bridge collapse finally caught up to the both of them Hajime realized Suzu would fall into the ground, probably never to be seen or heard from again if nothing would be done, so he reached and grabbed her by her colalr.
Hajime looked towards the line of students to see Kaori struggling against Shizuku's grip, trying to run towards him ... trying to fulfill last night's promise.
The other students were looking pale and covered either their eyes or mouths. Meld and the Knights had mortifying expressions on their faces.
The Scaffolding Hajime clung to could no longer support both his and Suzu's weights. As he fell backwards holding onto Suzu with one hand and grasping at the dimming lights with the other.
On that day Hajime and Suzu were swallowed by darkness.
"The pool in the darkness/ Healing water"
Spoiler for This does not happen in the actual story:
Hajime was awoken by a low rumbling sound. It took him a few seconds to realize it was the sound of an empty stomach, and more seconds still, to realize it wasn't his stomach.
At first Hajime wasn't certain of his surrounding. He wasn't even certain he had opened his eyes, by how dark it was. He noticed a figured huddled a few feet away from him staring at his direction.
"Nagumo-kun ..." the voice whispered in a barely audible but high-pitched voice.
His mind was still groggy. Recent events all but erased from his mind, Hajime fell onto his side, as he tried to transfer some weight onto his arms. He felt something wet and slightly sticky on his body.
The smell of iron assaulted his nose.
Hajime quickly tried to scuttle away from whatever he was laying in, falling face first into the jelly-like substance several times.
"Nagumo-kun!" the voice shouted louder this time. Concern apparent in her voice.
Yes, her voice.
Images flashed before his eyes. Memories of the Behemoth, the darkness. Suzu casting barrier magic to control their fall.
Then ... a river? ... lots of water ... gasping for air as the current dragged him and the girl under several times. Holding onto her, pulling her head above the water so that Taniguchi could breathe ... yes Suzu
... Taniguchi?" Hajime wasn't aware he said the last part out loud.
Suzu thought her tears had dried. That she could happily greet Nagumo-san when he woke up. Maybe even joke around like `what are you sleeping in for?ī
But when he finally stirred and woke up she could barely contain herself. She managed at first, but after he fell down a couple of times, Suzu almost snorted ... until she remembered into exaclty what Hajime had fallen into.
A pool of blood ... a pool of his own blood that continued to pour out of his arm for what must have been hours.
Suzu started to cry. She practically bawled.
"I-I t-thought -hic- you w-wouldn't -hic- ever w-wake up ... uwaaaa"
Suzu Taniguchi didn't move. didn't throw herself onto his chest, but contracted into a ball and wept.
Hajime was dumbfounded ... he wanted to cry, he lost his bloody arm. His face was smeared with what appeared to be blood. And judging by the stump where his left arm should be, it was most likely his.
He should have died from blood loss judging by the pool he fell into. His throat contracted as bile tried to force itself up.
"Why am i still ..." Hajime started to ask, as a silvery drop fell onto his face, and entered his mouth. Vigor filled his body for the briefest of moments. Hajime looked up, looking for where the drop had come from.
Suzu apparently managed to calm herself after seeing Hajime looking around. She hadn't actually heard what Hajime said, but could guess what he wanted to know. She produced one of the vials she had filled with the liquid and held it towards him.
"This s-saved you -hic- It d-dropped into y-your mouth -hic- and you s-seemed to be -hic- g-getting better. S-so I c-collected some -hic- and f-forced you to drink it"
Hajime took hold of the vial and studied it's content. The silvery liquid gave of a faint glow, barely fighting against the darkness, bringing a modicum of light into the darkness. Just some inner glow.
But this light in the darkness had healed his injuries. Had allowed him to survive.
"We should figure out where it comes from ..." and I don't wanna stay here, Hajime finished the sentence in his mind, deliberately avoiding looking at the pool of blood, as he began using his one remaining arm to transmute the ceiling where the liquid came from.
"U-un" Suzu agreed. She was happy Nagumo-kun was awake, and happier still he communicated with her. It was her fault that they ended here, after all.
Her fault that Hajime lost his arm.
Guilt and grief threatened to overwhelm her again. She didn't have to be tough anymore, did not have to watch over him anymore.
She felt a load lifting from her shoulder but at the same time, a damn about to burst.
Hajime began his work immediately. He was glad Taniguchi stopped crying. He couldn't handle it. At all.
Unbeknownst to the both of them, the other had become a vital support of their fragile psyche. As long as Hajime had someone to protect, he could take all is fear and anger and stuff it into the deepest recesses of his soul.
Making sure Suzu remained alive became his mission. Making sure the both of them returned to the surface became his mantra. Taniguchi depended on him. Depended on him keeping it together.
She couldn't see him breaking down, or she would as well. She couldn't see him lament over the loss of his arm, it would break her. Than him.
He needed to protect her. Needed to protect them both.
And for Suzu, having seen the cold hard reality of the dungeon, watching Hajime almost being killed by the demon bear, and then slowly bleeding out, right in front of her, almost broke her mind.
What would she have to do to survive? what could she do, really?
Hajime had managed to survive. He had taken charge during the incident with the Behemoth and basically saved the whole class. He tried to save her when the bridge collapsed.
Saved her from drowning. Saved her from the demon-bunny. Saved her from the demon-bear. Saved her from being alone.
He will save me. He must save me.
The dungeon would have finished her three time already if not for him. Surely he could get her out safely. Back to the class, back to civilization. Back to normality where she could eat some tasty pieces of cakes with her friends and chat about which boy was the cutest, who had done something stupid, which girl was crushing on whom and, perhaps, dream about the prince of their school, Kouki, and a future that would never be.
Hajime continued for a few meters before transmuting a tunnel around where he suspected the liquid originated from. His Transmuting skills had increased slightly, and whenever he ran out of Mana, he had a few drops of the liquid and it replenished him.
Taniguchi was following behind him, not letting him leave her sight. Not a hard task considering they were in a tunnel, barely fifty centimeters in diameter. Finally they reached a small pool of the silvery liquid, barely a radius of 10 centimeters. But more interesting than the pool was the stone emitting a aquamarine glow atop the pool. The Ore, about the size of basketball, seemingly produced the liquid.
A certain legend resurfaced from Hajime's memories. Something he read in the library while arming himself with knowledge of this world.
"God's crystal?" Hajime muttered more to himself.
"You know what that is?" Suzu asked, astonished he would know what that stone was.
"I read about it in the library, the god supposedly used it to heal his followers"
Suzu was honestly impressed, but the feelings quickly was replaced by guilt. While she wasn't as open about it as some of the others, especially Hiyama and his cronies, she also belittled Nagumo's choice to spend time in the library.
She didn't like studying at home, why would she do it in this world?
She might not have been on the level of Kaori or the Princess, but she was cute in her own way.
Now she was beginning to understand the folly of her ignorance.
Once more that one thought manifested itself in her mind:
Nagumo-kun will get me out of here.
Suzu's gaze towards Hajime had changed. An unknown glint had entered her eyes. He couldn't see it since he fixated on the crystal.
Then a beast-like growl sounded in the tunnel.
Hajime looked from the crystal, straight ahead onto the wall, leaned his head to one side, before shaking it and turning towards the origin of the sound.
Suzu Taniguchi was red to her ears and looked downwards, refusing to meet Hajime's eyes.
Perhaps due to fate, or the the whim of a benevolent god, Hajime's stomach also made a sound.
"Right, I guess we should find something to eat"
Lemme hear what you think!
Is this annoying? Anyone want to join me? Perhaps a relay story? (everybody whose interested writes one scene or one chapter, one after another)

Reason: Finally understand why stories need editors ...
Elf Princess because the demi-humans at the Sea of Trees would want to ally themselves with Hajime and she already likes him.
I've only read the translated chapters of Tate no Yuusha, but wasn't Melty offered to Naofumi as a bride in order to secure an alliance with the demi-human country?
oh, so u mean both princesses should be married off to the MC? thought u meant someone from the Empire instead XD

so where can i read the summarries? i cant seem to find them

Possibly by pure chance, Hajime's arm had fallen towards the bear, who picked it up with it's claws and started chewing.
The sound of bones being crunched and flesh being torn the only droned out even the splashes of the stream Hajime and Suzu had fallen into.
Suzu's stomach grumbling returned her mind to the present. She couldn't believe she could be feeling hungry while remembering such a horrific scene.
She looked into the bag she desperately clung to during the whole ordeal and took out the few belongings she still had.
The few empty vials of Mana Potions would be useful for storing some of the liquid that saved Hajime's life, but she only had three of them.
The dagger that had hung uselessly on her belt proved useful only as she was digging towards the liquid that. Her hands were probably still dirty from the activity. They no longer hurt after having come into contact with whatever spilled out of the make-shift ceiling that Hajime's synergy skills had made. Would he be angry that she broke the uniformity of the square like room ... what a silly though.
She did find some smashed sweets, but they wouldn't exactly fill her. Why didn't she bring any rations or something? She remembered seeing Hajime taking out food out of his backpack up in the dungeon.
Her stomach made some unflattering sounds again. This time it was growling.
She heard Hajime stirring and looked into his direction again, her ears reddening from embarrassment.
There he laid, only a few feet from her, in a pool of his own blood. His figure only visible because her eyes had slowly gotten used to the darkness.
The person who saved her life not once, but three times since coming into the dungeon.
Her tears had dried on her face. Suzu couldn't rely on Hajime the entire time.
This time she had to do something for him.
Suzu tightened her grip on the dagger she had unknowingly picked up. She needed to find something to eat.
But she didn't want to leave Hajime alone ... didn't want to be alone.
As she suppressed the feelings of hunger, Suzu drew her legs closer and hugged her knees. She turned towards the direction of the tunnel that was created when the both of them escaped underground.
She stuffed some of the smashed sweets in her mouth. Only a little bit. Hoping it could silence her stomach.
She never did let go of her dagger though.
If Suzu fell in with Hajime they would have both just died.
Just Hajime surviving could be described as a miracle, if Suzu(or anyone) was there he would have tried to keep her safe and they both would have died.
somehow i can't see the possibility that hajime will go out with suzu.
even if hajime alredy not broke the flag and welcoming harem.
Could be possible for the other hajime, before mental breakdown, having a lively girl giving him strength to try hard and finish the dungeon. It would be pretty fun, but i wonder what would happen once they met yue? Would hajime get 2 waifus?
