"This isn't Tokyo anymore."
Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus - John Gray
"Gasp!"
Am I ... alive? How? I just came back home in Japan and was walking behind to young hirls that looked like sisters. Before you know a Truck-kun gave the three of us a [L*pin-dive]. [AN: The famous lupin dive!]
In fact, truck driver! Your light was red and We were on the pedestrian crossing on a main street. Were you sleeping!? Knocking a grown man like me flying is one thing but you got these poor girls too. I hope you live through this and are stuck with the stigma as the “slayer of beautiful little girls!”
It’s hard to even find a job licking boots when the whole nations throughs salt at your face, you know…! Haah, I can’t keep ranting if I wanna save my energy. Gotta find out what happened next. I’m awake now but this doesn’t look like a modern hospital in Tokyo. In fact,
"Where is this?" (???)
The ruins of an abandoned temple, look western like the Pantheon. Rune-like chicken scratches line altar I’m currently half-propped on. A circle of large stones surrounding the altar also have larger runes patterned over them… Uwah, this looks more like a place for sacrifices than one for a summoning ceremony.
"In fact, no one is here either. Who brought me here and why?"
This can only be a case of being Spirited away or a delusion. It’s not a dream because I’m livid and can still feel pain. I’m also perfectly fine as if that Truck-kun was the real illusion. And unless modern Japan recently adopted the mystic arts into their healthcare pratices while I was traveling, this can only be a Summoning altar.
But I gotta say, this place looks more like a ruin. I still haven’t seen any sign of life after walking around the place and the whole area is covered in wild vegetation except for the altar I woke up from.
Well, let’s make this the base and search for water, food and hopefully people. I can’t wait for someone to come by such a forgotten place and gotta start preparing to survive here until I can decipher these ruins. Can’t be worried about food when you’re already hungry.
But, still,
"This isn't Tokyo anymore." (??)
-_-_-_-_-_-
“Kuso!” (??)
As soon as I walked out of the ruins, a strange film covered it and I couldn’t go back in! I didn’t even have the chance to write them down in my notes and look over them later. And those were characters used to summon a whole human! If only I could look at one sentence, just one!
“Kuso! Kuso!” (??)
Now I’m running away from Goblins! Goblins ya know, those fiends of the fantasy novels. I’m a guy so that means it won’t end up like in the thin books at Comiket but that doesn’t make it better! I gotta find a way to humans quick.
I stumbled across them as I was heading for the river. It seems that even Goblins need a water source and I just happened to walk into their territory. I didn’t even get within 200 metres of that little stream and I still have to lug it down a valley through a forest of thick-rooted trees with a huge travel bag over my back.
“Ah~, kusoo–!!” (??)
-_-_-_-_-_-
“Tsk.” (??)
“Oi, Jin-san. You can’t be like that. We kindly save you from those Goblins, you see. And we escorted you to the nearest human village.”
“What Jarvis said. You just had to give up you belongings to this Obelisk and you’ll be alright!” (Obelisk)
“Did you think we would just save you and ask for nothing in return? How conceited. If one adventurer were to imitate such arrogance it would make the others that conduct fair trade for escort work appear villainous. Don’t think for even a second that I, Eren would allow for such a stains on my good name.” (Eren)
So bullish! And stop refering to yourself in the third person! Is it that? People from a fantasy world don’t graduated and still have chunnibyou! Is it really such a case here!?
I can’t even tahnk them honestly or celebrae that this is a real fantasy world when I was saved from the Goblins sticky chase by an Adventurer party. I’m actually speaking with a Ox walking on two legs (Obelisk) and a eral life elf (Eren)! And yet, their bullish attitudes ruin everything, even the human crook, Jarvis is taking my travel bag filled with my clothing, notes and tools for survival and travel.
“Well, Jin-san. This [Bullish party] welcomes you to [Reach village]!” (Jarvis)
“So you’re all aware that you’re bullish!!” (Jin)
Yes. My name was Shuujin Kousuke. On earth, I travelled the world and sampled the many cultures and their histories, leaving journals of my travels on Y*uTube and othe sites garnered a strong following.
In this new world where I’m all alone, where I share no family to even mention my family name or the name my parents gave: I will live by the name, Jin.
