Princess Knight Sharon and the Hero of Another World

Synopsis

The night sky is perfectly clear, dotted with countless stars. We’re running with a heavy telescope in hand. “Hey, hurry up! We can’t miss this chance!” “Y-Yeah… I know, but do we have to run this fast…” The chance we’re referring to is, of course, stargazing. Today is the best day to observe the Perseus meteor shower. With perfect weather conditions and everything in our favor, we can’t afford to miss this—not after enduring the ridicule from other students who call us “useless” and our astronomy club a “burden.”

“Besides, Professor Miwa is waiting for us! And they say this will be the clearest view of the century! Plus, this is the perfect chance to test the state-of-the-art telescope we bought with the club budget!”

“That’s all well and good… but I’m carrying a pretty heavy load here.”

“Speaking of which, what exactly is in that massive backpack you always carry?”

“Something you’d never understand with your lack of crisis awareness. Heh heh…”

My name is Tsukishima Yoichi. My best friend Honda always carries around a mysterious giant backpack. We’re first-year students at Tensei-kan Academy and the proud aces of the Astronomy Club—even though there are only two of us!

The Astronomy Club is on the verge of being disbanded with just one advisor and two members, yet it consumes an enormous budget for equipment. As a result, we’re branded as “useless” and “worthless” by the rest of the school, with constant schemes to shut us down. Honda and I have even earned the nickname “window-side section chiefs.”

We finally arrive at the school gate, where Professor Miwa is waiting to let us in. “The school at night really gives you chills, doesn’t it?” I drag my friend away from his inappropriate daydreams as we rush to the rooftop where Professor Miwa awaits.

“I’ve been waiting for you, Tsukishima-kun and Honda-kun!” Professor Miwa greets us with an unusually effeminate demeanor. “Since you two were late, I thought maybe I’d be watching the meteor shower alone… I got worried and messaged my partner. But they haven’t replied yet…”

Honda and I exchange wry smiles, confirming our suspicion that Professor Miwa is at least partially responsible for the Astronomy Club’s reputation. Though to be fair, aside from occasionally touching our butts and his questionable behavior in the bathhouse during our camping trip, he’s actually a pretty good teacher. He also seems oddly hostile toward women…

We quickly set up the Astronomy Club’s prized latest-model telescope and begin observing the Perseus meteor shower. We’re also filming everything for the school festival.
