Chereads / The Grand Journey of Haru / Chapter 3 - The Three Witch

Chapter 3 - The Three Witch

Kazuki looked around to every thing that he seen. There's no technologies, no cars. There's nothing that he has grown familiar with. He tried pinching his cheek if this was a dream again but it seems that everything in here was real.

Kazuki loves anime, because the world is so different and so many things that can make him so curious. He used to wished that he would live like that. But now.. He can't stop thinking if something horrible will come to them.. If there's gonna be someone that will hurt his friends... Then kanna interrupts Kazuki by asking him..

"Is there something wrong, Haru?" kazuki look at kanna and said with a smile. "Oh no, there's nothing wrong. But can you tell me about this place..?"

Kanna grin and tried to show off and said. "Hehehe, this place may be common to your perspective but this place was the day when Fujin lives along with his friends. Amazing right?" Kazuki was confused of the named Fujin, and since he and his friends doesn't really belong in this world.. They don't know the history of it.

So he ask kanna about Fujin and his friends. "About that.. Can you tell me about them, we don't really know who Fujin is.." Kanna was surprised when she heard what he said. "Wait, you don't know anything about them?!"

"Hehe... I'm afraid so.." after that, kanna explained everything about Fujin and his friends. Especially the demon lucifer who took control of fujin's friend 'Reiku'

Noted: If you wanna know about the story then go to the chapter 1. Obviously you don't need to unless you forgot about it. (゜-゜)

"So.. This.. Fujin... Killed a demon called lucifer... Isn't that the king of hell?? That guy must be strong. Or is it because of that sword that he was wielding..." Kazuki mutters as the ground starts shaking.

"What's happening?!" Kazuki was surprised and he ask kanna about that noise. "Ohh, don't worry it's just a friend of ours."

As the ground continued shaking, a mysterious figure showed up. Kazuki was confused and scared when he saw that figure and said. "Wh—what.. Is that?!"

As the figure goes closer, it was not a human but it was– "That is a golem, don't worry it doesn't hurt anyone. And it work for us." Kazuki was surprised on how things work in this world.

The golem moved pass Kazuki and Kanna and couple of seconds they made it to kanna's house. "Make yourself at home. You can put your friends at the futon." As kanna talked to Kazuki he put his friends at the futon to make it more comfortable for shiro and sora.

As couple of minutes pass by, Kazuki wondered of why those guys were attacking them and how they know his name. Thinking if they have a reason to do it. Thinking why the one's who stands above them ordered a beautiful girl to save them. He was interrupt by someone tugging his shoulder.

"Are you alright, haru?" Kanna asked Kazuki as she was worried and confused. "It's nothing.. I was just thinking about something.." Kazuki was still surprise of where they are.

Everything was replace by strange scene—rows of small brick houses, round public square that is crowded by people who is wearing medieval clothes, and near that was a 3 door shaped gallows surrounded by tons of people. Kazuki knows a lot about gallows since there's a lot of scenes of that in anime.. But Kazuki was curious is who will be killed by doing a serious crime.

Kanado Kazuki had only ever seen this ancient instrument on Movies, Series and the past time of their world. On their world, the death sentence was lowered since the laws increased and soldiers surrounded every city and streets.. Until those two shady guy showed up and tried to kill them.. The reason why the laws increased was because of a new mayor got pick. And now that they lived in this world now, they don't know the laws here or if laws even exist in this world.

The gallows of 2 pillars extending upwards for about 6 meters from a raised base. The top ends were connected by a crossbeam. The only way for you to get executed by this is by committing a serious crime and now you are being judge. Kazuki is wondering if those 3 people who have committed a crime would be humans.

Now knowing that they will live in this world, and seeing a golem in this town, goblin and werewolves from the story of Fujin. Surely there would be other types of people. For example Elves. Elves has a good hearing and eyesight that's why their perfect weapon is a bow, crossbow, and a gun (But doesn't exist yet)

But.. Now that they're gonna live in this world, their purpose is.. Gone... No computers, games, tv shows, anime.. Just a medieval things

But with this they can have a second chance. To improve. Communication with people and go on to an adventure from this world.. And be like Fujin... Exluding the one with the devil part.

Since the others are still resting at the futon, Kazuki decided to walk and see what the other parts of the town looks like, he was curious on how this world's looks not just this town but the whole world. Kanna decided to go with kazuki or his other name haru to tour him around.

"You really don't know anything huh?" Kanna decided to talk with kazuki. "Hmm? What do you mean?" Kazuki was confused what kanna said.

"Well, the story of Fujin was spread around the world, he is a legend of course his friends were legends too. But you don't know anything about it.. And not just that but you were scared when you saw the golem as if it's the first time you see it... Are you guys perhaps...." Kanna gets closer to Kazuki's secret. He's body shiver, he's eyes look left to right. "Did she figure who we are...?" Kazuki thought as he look to kanna.

"You must have live from a far away island.. That's why you don't know anything about Fujin and the monsters.. And monsters are very rare to appear from the far away island.. That explains it..." Kazuki was relieved of what kanna said, she didn't know that they belong to another world. But kazuki forgot about the scroll that he was supposed to give to the first women he sees and that women is kanna.

As they wondered around the town, kazuki saw something suspicious. Three girls with chain around their neck, arms, and legs and a man who grins with a malicious face.

Kazuki was shocked of what he sees, but he can't stop that guy just because those girls are wearing chains. Right now he doesn't know the laws from this world.

"Why does the girls have those chains around their body..? Are they the one.." As kazuki asked that question to kanna, she looked down and clenches her fist and said "Their the one who will be executed at the gallows.." Kazuki was shocked that these young girls will be executed.. He said to Kanna, "So what exactly did those three girls commit?" Kanna was feeling down when kazuki ask her that, but she said.

"It is said by a noble prince that he saw these three killed 5 people by burning them.. The only one who saw them was that person.. The noble prince..." Kazuki was surprise yet confused of what kanna said. "What do you mean burning them..?" Kanna sigh and look at Kazuki and said.

Those 3 girls were a 'witch'

Witches were born after Lucifer was killed by Fujin, and when people figure out that these people were witches.. They see them as the devil's helper. And saying that they will bring back the devil..

"But.. They look so innocent... And a noble prince was the only one who saw them?? That's suspicious—" Kazuki was interrupted by kanna and said "Yes its suspicious, but we can't say no to the prince, if we disagree we will be executed not by a gallows.. But by a guillotine and the place will be crowded by people... Kids! We can't do it.. Kids can't go and see people getting hang from the gallows.. But on guillotine... They'll be force to see it and say that this will happened to them if they ever disagree to a royal family!!"

Kanna was mad.. Not by kazuki but to the royal family..

"Then... Is there a way to save them....? As kazuki ask kanna, she sigh and respond.. "Yes there is... But we don't have enough money to trade... Or even something to give to them.."

Kanna was right, if they have great that they can give to the royal family then they might release them.. But what would that be? Kazuki wants to save those girls, so he look around his little bag and the only thing there was coins, the game and his waterproof cellphone.. The game is useless now since they live in a new world.. The coins is useless too since it can't be used here.. The cellphone can be used but there's no way to charge it from this world.. He looks again from his bag and there was one thing inside his bag... It was a gun.

"Huh..? Why is there a gun here..? AH!" As he tried to remember it seems that the boy who wears a black outfit drops the gun and accidentally put it at his bag.. But this can be used as an opportunity, and since guns doesn't exist in this world. This can be used as a trade from the royal family.

Kazuki looked at kanna and said to her.. "I want to save them.." Kanna heard what kazuki said so she nodded and walk to the opposite side where the girls in chains where.. after a couple of seconds has pass she returned back to him and said with shock and surprised.

"You wanna do what?!"
