2 Isekai (1/2)
Usually, someone from the amusement park kicked himself and Park outside in the early morning, which proves to be their alarm of sorts. Yet, something was different that day—way different. He had no idea what was so different though. He got a rough idea of that in a minute as he finally opened his eyes wide open. ”Hmm? So, where exactly am I?” He saw himself in a room which was weird. He looked around for a hot minute to realize the problem about it. The magazines, the posters—he could read none of it. He felt weird as he went around touching things. ”So similar, yet so different. Even the constitution of materials are weaker. What is this stuff on the wall? It's so brittle.” He muttered as he poked his finger into the wall, which led to a grey powder coming out of it and formed a humongous amount of cracks in it. The stuff was very weak compared to his standards.
”That my friend, is cement. It is one of the sturdier stuff around here. We use it to build houses and stuff.” A man came in from the door, dressed up all funny. He looked like the street clowns from Skyliner planet that he used to love when he was a child. However, he still felt as if something was different.
He decided to leave his lingering feelings aside and commented about the elephant of the room. ”As if!” He believed that he was probably in a Mandowood [????] film set. It looked realistic—for a movie set.
Seeing the disbelief in Taro's eyes, he led him to a lift which got them to the outside world. ”Look at all those places? Even if you dug a hole on those walls, you're gonna find the same stuff.” He said.
”Oh, you weren't kidding!” Taro, with his immense experience in construction work in the past for paying off his tuition fees, had a good eye for sophisticated constructions, which none of those houses candled to. Thus, he came to his conclusion. ”So, I guess this place isn't Wados. I've heard that people in Skyliner planet wear— eccentric clothes. Not gonna lie, I've went around all the thirteen planets in the Mandora twice and never seen one like you. This isn't even the Mandora star system, is it?” He asked as they went back to the room. Even the skyliner troops weren't stupid enough to wear these weird clothes.
”No. This is the solar system. Also, you're on a planet called Earth.” The man who accompanied him explained.
”Well, I'll contact the higher ups and tell them you're awake. They'd be willing to answer those questions of yours.” The man gave a warm smile, which calmed Taro just a little bit.
”Okay, thanks.”
”Here, take it.” The man gave a weirdly wrapped package in his hand. It was warm.
”What's this?” Taro asked.
”Food. You might be hungry, right?” Taro felt thankful as he heard the man's words. He always appreciate a person who gives food to someone else in need.
”Oh, I'll make sure to eat it.” He said, with a joyful smile.
”Good. I'll be on my way.” The man left in a moment's notice.
After he left, Taro placed down the weird package and pranced around. In Taro's eyes, everything about this planet was weird. He started thinking. ”????????????????????????????????????????'???? ???????? ???????????????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????, ???????????????? ???????? ???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ????????. ????????????????, ???????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????? ???????????? ???????????? ????????????????????????????????, ????????????????????? ???????????????? ???????????? ???????? ???????????????? ???????????????????? ???????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????????????? ????????????????????????????????????????????, ???????????? ???????????? ???????????????????????? ???????? ???????????????????????????????????????? ???????? ???????????? ???????? ???????????? ???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????????????????. ????????????????, ???????? ???????????????????? ???????????????? ???????? ???? ???????????????????????????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????????????????????. ????????????????, ???????????? ???????????? ???????????????? ???????????? ???? ???????????????? ???????????? ????????????????? ????????????????????.” Suddenly, that last night's event came by like a flash. ”???????????? ???????????????????? ????????????????. ???? ???????????? ???????????????? ????????????????. ???????????????? ???????????????????????????????????? ???????????? ????????—???????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ???????????????? ????????, ???????????? ???????? ???????????????????????????? ????????????????, ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????????. ???????? ???????????????? ???????????????????? ????'???? ???????????????? ????????????, ????????????????????? ???????????????? ???? ???????????????? ???????? ???????? ???????????????????? ????????????????????????????????????? ???????????????? ???????????? ????????????????'???? ???????????????? ???????????????? ???????? ????????��???? ????????????????????????????????????????????—????????????????????, ???????????????? ???????? ???????????? ???????????????????????? ???????? ???????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????? ???????????????????????????????????????????? ???????? ???????????????????? ????????????????! ????????????????????, ???? ???????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????? ???????? ???????? ???????? ???????????????? ???????????? ???????????????? ???? ???????????????????????? ????????????????! ???????? ???????????????? ???????????? ???????? ???????????????????? ???????? ???????????? ???????????????????????????????? [????]?” The conclusion that he came up with made him smile a bit. That would explain why everything looked oddly familiar but different, an expression he had used multiple times already. However, instead of tank-kun like in those comics he read, it was coaster-kun! Either way, if that was the reality, he was satisfied.
”Sir, this guy sure acts weird.” The man, who previously acted real nice in front of Taro earlier, said to official as they looked over him through CCTV.
”Let him be. Now, you were telling me?” Special agent Ponnappan asked.
”Yea, the alien poked a finger onto the wall and you can see its state for yourself. He even called it weak, in addition to that.” The man explained what he saw to his superior.
Ponnappan gasped. ”Such power! Thankappan, have you found out how they came to this planet?”
”No, sir. It was all too sudden. They literally appeared out of thin air.” Field agent Thankappan replied.
”Hmm, I see. What about this Wados they were talking about?” He asked.
”We've sent a message about it to our benefactors. We're waiting for their reply.” The field agent replied.
”Got it. I guess it's time to welcome this alien to our planet.” Ponnappan said with a smirk on his face.

”Whoa, this food is actually good! Grain sized and easy to consume. Ideal food of the ideal world.” Taro enjoyed eating this delicacy that Thankappan gave him. Except it was no delicacy, but a rice meal with fish curry, which had no fish but only the curry, from a nearby food stall [????]. Still, an avid street enthusiast could always argue that the food was indeed a delicacy as Taro said. But, whilst enjoying his meal, he sensed some movement from outside. He expected the field agent and wanted to thank him once again, but it was a different man. ”Who are you?”
”I'm a higher up official who've come to answer your questions and ask some of my own.” Ponnappan replied.
”Well, can it wait?” Taro asked as he glanced at the food.
”Sure.” The special agent said and waited for him to finish the meal. When he did so, Ponnappan had a not so casual idea in his head. ”In the meantime, try bending the plate in your hand.”
”Why?” Taro was confused.
”Just for the sake.” He replied.
Taro obliged, thinking it might be some weird custom on Earth. He took the plate and bent it literally with his two fingers. ”What about it?”
”????????????????, ???????????????? ????????????'???? ????????????????????????. ????????'???? ????????????????????????—???????????? ????????????????????????!” The special agent was surprised. It was a steel plate that he bent so effortlessly. Taro wasn't indeed normal—he was a great threat. ”So, what is it that you wanted to ask?” He asked as he gulped inwardly.
”First, how in the world did I get here?” He got straight to the point.
”Well, I was about to ask you the same question.” Ponnappan replied.
”You don't know?” Taro was confused. He thought that there might be a chance that the dumb idiot who proclaimed that he'll answer Taro's questions, would know the answer.
”No.”
Taro sighed and continued. ”I see. Now, what is this place? Where exactly is it?”
”If you're talking about the planet, it's named Earth and I don't know how far it is from your planet, Wados. Well, we called up our benefactors on this issue and we might be able to inform you about the same. Now, if you're talking about this establishment specifically, then this is one of the secret bases of a world government based organization called Men in Black. We are the connecting link between humans and aliens. We are responsible for the protection of alien rights and needs when they stay on this planet. This base is located in the coastal region of Kerala. [????]” Ponnappan looked proud as he said it.
