Chapter 1 (1/2)
New project, updates will be irregular, and I might split the chapters into parts because they’re long. I haven’t read any of this, so I don’t really know any of its genres, or whether it’s good or not.
”I'm hungry……”
This is at night, on the way home from the convenience store.
I thought I'd have a late-night snack, but I looked at my refrigerator, and found out my run down apartment had run out of food.
At the convenience store, I bought a cup noodle, tea, and onigiri.
”Will I able to make it through the night with this…?”
——And then, right after I left the convenience store.
——Kikiiiiiii!!!
The sound of a car breaking. And blinding me, the car lights.
Suddenly, a truck came at me.
Noticing that, I tried to quickly avoid it, but I didn't make it.
The driver who I saw right before the collision was nodding off.
It's not long till the revolving lanterns drift.
(……Right until the end, it's s.h.i.+t.)
Receiving a shock that made my body scatter, I thought that, and lost consciousness.
＊＊＊
——There's a bad smell. I can't see anything.
I feel drowsy, and the air is bad.
(——This is……where? What happened to me?
Am I not dead? Is this the world after death?)
For the time being, I tried to raise my heavy body, but……
——Gashatu!
The sound of a chain swaying.
Also, the feeling of something cold on my limbs.
……There's something made of metal on my arms and legs.
”——tu!?”
(——They're shackles! There are shackles attached to my arms and legs, and I can't move!”
An unpleasant premonition runs through my head.
(Is this an abduction? The truck made it look like an accident, but was it's goal to abduct me? Is this that much of a stupid story? Who would do this, and why……?)
When I *gachigachi* feel my shackles——
”——Are you awake?”
In this darkness, I heard a beautiful voice that sounded like a bell.
(——Judging from the tone of the voice, is it a woman?)
”Who are you!? Show yourself!”
Her voice came from behind me.
So did the sounds of clothes rubbing against each other, and that of stepping on soil.
There is someone, behind me——.
”I am a magician, Arisa Feo Asteria.
Nice to meet you, otherworlder-san.”
When the woman comes so close to me that I can touch her breath……
”——utu!?”
In spite of myself, I raised my voice.
From behind, I was suddenly lovingly hugged.
Without changing, her hands continue to grope around my body.
(——What's with her? Stop it, don't suddenly touch me!)
Her thin, cool finger crawls across my body, just like an insect.
Even if I tried to escape, I can't run away due to the restraints.
Her feverish breath hits my ears.
”Everything's alright. Leave your body to me.
I won't do anything bad……tu!”
While feeling her heat, and getting dizzy due to her sweet smell, I desperately resist.
While getting confused due to this sudden situation, words floated around my head.
(Aren't I dead?
What does this mean? Who's this girl behind me?)
”Where is this place? Why am I still alive!?”
I desperately struggle to get away from her hands.
However, her hands gradually stimulate my body, and I lose strength.
”Don't be in a rush.
I'll explain everything,
because I need you.”
She whispered into my ear.
*zokuzoku* A chill runs through my back.
……That's a bad sign.
”Don't mess with me! What are you…tu!?”
She closed my mouth with her hand.
”Calm down and listen.
I summoned you,
because you were about to die.
I thought if it was you, you'd look after me.”
”You summoned? Me?”
”Yeah, you.”
She *kusuri* laughed.
As she was laughing, the surroundings gradually lit up.
And finally, I saw it. I was able to see it.
The one who called me, that woman's figure.
”Is it already morning?”
Skin as pure white as snow.
Smooth, sparkling silver hair.
Soft seeming cherry blossom lips
And red eyes that looked just like rubies.
She was a beautiful, transient albino girl.
”Were you charmed by me?……Fufu.”
And then, the girl gently laughed.
＊＊＊
After that, a little time pa.s.sed, and the albino girl kept groping all over my body. I think she's doing this to check for injuries, but isn't this a little……
”……Get already from me already. Also, hurry up and release my shackles.”
”Okay. I thought you'd try to attack me, but so seem to have calmed down. I'll remove them soon.”
When the girl reluctantly parted from me, she *gachagacha* releases my shackles.
”……You released me easier than I expected you to. I'm a man, and you're a woman. Aren't you cautious of me?”
”You may think that, but honestly that much wouldn't change anything. If I wanted to, I could instantly restrict you magic too.”
She said that, and showed a mischievous smile.
(……If so, wouldn't it have been fine without the shackles?)
……Seeing that smile, my desire to hear why she restrained me vanished.
”Anyways, I welcome you to my laboratory, otherworlder-kun.”
”……”
When I stay silent, and try to run away from her——
——Jogintu!
At my feet, an icicle grows.
While looking at me, she *nikori* silently smiled at me.
(——It seems like she won't forgive even a little resistance.)
While sighing, I followed after the girl.
＊＊＊
The place I was taken to was something like a shed.
Right outside of it was a building that looked like an ordinary single j.a.panese house made out of stone.
However, the shed and its surroundings were enshrouded by a dense forest.
”What is this place……? At a glance, it's obviously suspicious.
Would you normally build a place like this?.”
