Yusuke doesn't care about getting into a good high school. He just wants to get away from people and make it home to his video games. But when he suddenly finds himself in a real-life fantasy game alongside his two gorgeous classmates, he discovers it's not as easy as he thought, especially when there's a headless man "from the future" assigning him missions and his character class is... a farmer.

Character
A third-year junior high school student who is super-rational and goes home. He is suddenly sent to another world and ends up fighting alongside girls. He is the third hero (player). Like an adolescent boy, he is interested in girls, but he dislikes humans and prefers to act alone. When I was in the countryside (Kumamoto) before transferring to Tokyo in the winter of 6th grade, I was a mood maker with friends, but for some reason. I hated Tokyo and the people living there he was considered a taciturn man. He treats his companions with honorifics and doesn't try to get involved more than necessary, but he treats people from other worlds and friends from the countryside plainly. He considers Shindo and Hakozaki to be stronger than himself and prioritizes returning them to his original world by clearing the quest.

At first, he hated Torii, saying that he was "a scum who was deceived and tried to kill people", but later when he learned about the situation, he decided on his first impression, and because his dislike of humans comes from homophobia. I think it may be okay to admit Torii, who has nothing in common. He listens to Glenda, who has a lot of life experience and quick thinking. Until Glenda joined, he actively worked on quest clearing and problems in other worlds and even did strategy planning by himself, but he tries not to do anything other than the highest priority, Although he is relied on by his friends, he is also evaluated as a weirdo and heretic. He thinks his life should be of fair value, not equal, and he wants all the scum dead, including himself. In addition, he is aware that he is a "Chuunibyou faces kid" whose sense of justice is different from the ethics of the general public, but he has no real feelings and has no intention of changing his behavior. When a new hero joins after me, the game master asks me to meet them in the original world first.

Abilities
Yusuke grasped the situation in a short time and showed a high level of adaptability. He's clever, but he's a rationalist individualist, and he'll abandon his comrades if they're in danger or don't care about completing the quest. All heroes that are summoned by the game master have bonus traits that similarities to a game that they are almost set as immortals, respawning after they die, if at least one of them survives until the time limit expires.

Every time they summoned a roulette will spin for them and give the heroes a class that the roulette has been pointed.
