"I am Natsumeku Zei, The greatest wielder of electricity.I match those known as the Crimson Angels. Remember my name mere mortal for it will be the name to defeat you!"
"I am Shimiyuu Kaideru, The greatest wielder of water in the Crimson Angels clan. You pitiful fool, You are the one that's supposed to remember my name."
"I shall defeat thou, Electric wielder! CREATE WATER"
"Hey, That already exists! Are you dumb? This is how you do it. LIGHTNING SEIZE!"
"Hey that's a pretty Good name" Kaideru said sarcastically
"Shut u-"
"Zeiii, Kaideruu~ I made boba tea for you both"
"Comingggg!"
While we were drinking boba tea a sudden thought came to Zei's mind.
"Hey Kai, Wouldn't life be so much easier in another world? I mean we would probably be protagonists and get overpowered powers. School is just so boring and I have to study all the time"
"Stop! you're setting up a flag! what's with you always setting up flags? Also do you really think being in another world will be so easy? Let's say we get in an RPG-type world We would have to beat monsters and grind levels"
"Hah! We would totally be protagonists and get overpowered weapons at the start!"
"This kid... Wait aren't we supposed to be studying for a test?"
"Oh, well it's getting late I'm gonna go leave now"
"This kid..."
As twilight sets in. The Immeasurable beauty of the night can be observed. The fathomless deep blue night sky can be seen with Zei walking peacefully at the sidewalk. He opens his mouth as if willing to speak a word.
"HOLY CRAP THIS IS SCARY. IT'S SO DARK. IT'S NOT THAT LATE YET WHY IS IT SO DARK! DAMNIT I'M RUNNING HOME AND THEN PLAYING GAMES" Zei said followed with heavy panting.
The next morning as the sun rises and Zei and Kaideru prepare to leave. The school took their exams and handed out their grades.
"Oi Zei, Did you do good with the exam?"
*Sigh* "It was pretty easy although I forgot a formula.."
"This is why you study, you idiot. By the way, Are you gonna join the practice match at the volleyball club?"
"Oh, Yea I will"
"Hehehe, I will smash their faces with a volleyball stronger than the force of a meteor on impact at max speed" Kaideru said that with a face brimming with determination and confidence.
"Natsumeku-kun What score did you get?" A girl approached them suddenly and asked.
"Ohh, I got -"
"Yo, Zei What's your score?" A friend and volleyball player of them asked
"I got -"
"Yooo Meku-kun, What's your score on the test?" A basketball player asked
"I got 97 on the test" Zei said with a disappointed face.
"Aww, What!? I only got 89, Wait why do you even look so disappointed?" The girl that asked them said
"Hah! You are talking to a perfectionist, Fool!" Kaideru said with a jokingly low voice imitating an antagonist.
The girl ignored Kaideru and went back to talking with Zei.
"Man, I got ignored. It took me a long time to withdraw from that shell." Disappointment is smothered over Kaideru's face
"Aww, It's fine Kaideru-san. You always get 100 and I respect that"
"Haha! Thank you for lifting up the spirits of thy mighty Kaideru"
"Hey Kai, You're still disappointed aren't you?"
"No.."
A week has passed instantly and the two were playing volleyball against another school.
"OI ZEI! SET TO ME!"
A powerful sound that matches that of an explosion can be heard echoing through the large walls of the building.
"Hey hey hey! Nice set Zei!"
"Ughh, I'm feeling tired I wanna go home"
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN FEELING TIRED THIS IS ONLY THE 2ND SET! Oi be prepared the enemy is serving"
The ball had no spin and no predictable movement. It was received by the libero but the receive was off and went to the far right side
"I GOT IT!"
"MINE"
These two words that were uttered at the same time. It echoed across Zei and Kaideru's mind.
Everything is pure darkness. The only thing the eyes can convey are the unending void of nothing. The void which spread out to no extent. A drop of water that rippled across the void can be seen, and a bolt of lightning striked after.
After lingering for a long time without consciousness, Kaideru and Zei open their eyes. It is astoundingly beautiful. The green grass covers the ground with multiple small hills perfect for a picnic. A town could also be seen from afar and it seemed like humans reside there. The scenery which is only seen in movies. It seemed like another world. There was a problem though, A huge unworldly like creature was staring. It had a crab claw for its right arm and its legs are of bears, The rest of its body was an alligator.
"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!"
"Wait, who is that"
"Who's talking"
"Did I become shorter?"
"Did I become taller?"
"WHO'S SAYING THAT"
"Hey! Who's inside me right now" Kaideru's said with his mind.
"Hehe, that's what she said"
"Oi Zei is that you?"
"Kai? Why are we sharing bodies? Did we get transported into another world? Why is there a huge alligator with a crab claw for a hand and bear feet seems like it's coming to us at incredible speed? Wait, A huge alligator coming at us?"
Zei and Kaideru's combined body tried running but ultimately failed. The huge alligator-like creature is closing the distance fast.
"AHHH DAMN IT! WHEN IT'S AN ISEKAI AND THEN I DIE INSTANTLY? WE CAN'T EVEN BE TRANSPORTED IN A PEACEFUL TOWN?" They shouted at the top of their lungs.
"I knew you'd set up a flag!, Let's calm down and think for a second. Let's try to move our body"
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN CALM WE ARE GONNA DIE!"
After a few seconds with the alligator closer. Their hearts race, with adrenaline kicking in and they finally managed to stand up.
"Oi, We start with the right leg then go the left leg okay?" Kaideru said with a calm voice
"What do you mean, I'm left-handed let's go left leg then right leg"
"Fine! Just go faster we are gonna get mauled by that thing soon"
As they finally learned how to run with their combined bodies, They ran in the direction of the town which was opposite to the alligator-like creature.
"KAI WE ARE NOT WIDENING THE GAP AT ALL, CAN'T WE RUN ANY FASTER?"
As they were near to the town. The alligator-like creature caught up. It did a swing with its crab-like claw which knocked them down and gave them immense pain. They can't stand up because of the pain that they felt"
"So this is the end huh?" They said
The creature roared is gonna bite with its alligator head. As it slowly approaches Zei and Kaideru's end with saliva coming out. It seemed like all hope is lost.
After a couple seconds of closing their eyes, Their heart begins to slow down and the body becomes pale accepting death itself. A white light can be seen.
"Am I in heaven?" Zei said with his mind
"Nah, Probably not, because I can still hear you"
They opened their eyes followed by a surprised face of..
The Sunny blue vast sky.
"Wait what happened?" They said with a hint of pain
A man with a tall and strong figure came to us. He was holding a bow and arrow with a sword sheathed on his right side. The alligator-like creature was laying at the floor with an arrow through its head. It had burn marks that surrounded the arrow.
"Hey, Are you alright? Seemed like you were chased by a Arigifin. That was close huh? Drink this so you would feel better" The man that saved Zei and Kaideru said and gave them water with herbs inside.
"We are fine." They said followed by a groan showing pain
"We? Is there another one of you here?"
They just didn't respond as they didn't know how to explain, They kept quiet while hinting pain to ignore the question. They consumed the water and while laying down and they could stand up shortly after but still feeling pain.
"The name is Higoyokuhi. This is Town of Simula, A town where humans reside. I am a guardian and adventurer of this town with fire magic. Nice to meet you.
Since you were hurt by that Arigifin. I know an inn nearby that gives good medicine and has a good healer
The man had a gentle deep voice so it felt like he could be trusted.
"Sure"
While walking towards the inn, The town was a beautiful and peaceful sight. People walked by with smiles on their faces. Many shops surround the pathway with rowdy shopkeepers advertising their wares. As they were walking they saw a blue haired girl trapped in a cage with
3 people that looks like adventurers walking beside it.
"Is this a trap? Are we gonna be taken? Are we gonna die? Are we gonna be tortured? What if that large guy was a monster? What if we get trapped like that blue haired girl? Is she a slave?" They muttered
"Chill Kai he's nice and saved us. none of that will probably happen, that blue haired girl probably chose to be inside that."
"Well looking closer her face doesn't look like she's suffering"
"See, I told you."
Higoyokuhi looked at them because they said this outloud
"If you don't mind me asking, who are you talking to?" Higoyokuhi said with a gentle smile and a confused look
"Ohh no one, I'm sure you heard someone different"
"This is the inn, I'll leave it up to the caretaker here. Don't worry, She's a nice person."
A sign saying Nature's Dream Inn with big characters along with smaller characters at the bottom read as "Town's best inn" Is that self professed?
"Oohhh a girl? wonder if she's hot" Zei said with his mind
"Closet pervert"
"Shut up, Let's just go to the inn, the spot where the alligator hit still hurts."
"Fine"
After going inside, It wasn't too full yet not too empty.
Higoyokuhi asked for someone to what looks like a receptionist.
The receptionist lady showed Zei and Kaideru the way to the room where they take care of patients. Seemed like Zei and Kaideru were the only one there as of the moment. Maybe people don't tend to get hurt?
The receptionist called for the name Hanachiryou and someone went to our room. As the person comes closer...
What a beautiful nurse.
She doesn't have a too curvy figure
She could be mistaken as a goddess from afar.
Her height is perfect with her being at nose level.
Her hair hair is crimson deep red with a braid hanging over her shoulders
Her eyes, which were green similar to the beauty of nature.
"Hello! I am Hanachiryou. I will be taking care of you. Please sit down at this bed and i'll be asking you some questions" She said with such a heartwarming smile.
Her voice is cute yet caring at the same time.
"Will this girl be our party member or something. She's the deal!"
"OI! Zei what are you thinking about! Instead of that, think of what name we will use. Ofcourse we can't use just one of ours"
"Oh crap! I forgot you can hear my thoughts!"
"This kid..."
"Ahh nevermind that, If you are uncomfortable or still can't say anything because of pain I'll leave it alone." The nurse with a confused look said to them.
"Kai, This is the heroine right? For sure this is the heroine. She's perfect"
"..."
"Why do I feel so much disappointment coming from you, and it's actually scaring me."
"The next thing I need to know is what element are you proficient with."
"Element?"
"Yes, the element which you specialize in which is recognized at childhood."
"I don't know" They said this with a disappointing tone.
"You don't know? Weren't you not tested when you were a child?
Maybe you are from another country. Well, If that's so then you can go to the town hall to get yours tested. Oh, It's getting late, I suggest going there tomorrow instead. Don't worry, I'm pretty sure you won't be the only person at your age there."
"Please be together with me forever Hanachiryou-senpai" Zei wanted to say this
"...."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry please don't get more disappointed at me, I might die!"
"Here are some herbs which will remove the pain eventually, I didn't sense broken bones from you so this will be enough to soothe you. Put them in water and drink them every night. In the meantime you can go to the receptionist and ask for a room."
"I actually don't have any money on me."
"Oh, actually, Higoyokuhi already paid for the medications and room, What a nice guy right?"
"Oi Zei, I sense some jealousy from you. Hah, fool"
"Shut up"
We did as we were told and went to the receptionist for a room. She gladly showed the way and inside was a bed with a drawer and a mirror at the opposite side, without hesitation they went to check theirselves at the mirror first.
"Humu, It seems like our appearance and body type combined into one. I definitely look so much shorter and uglier, Right Zei?"
"What do you mean uglier! I'm the one thats supposed to feel uglier also being tall is hard. I feel heavier for some reason!"
"Maybe that's because we're tired AND you being short at our world made you feel heavy"
*Sigh* "I'm tired aswell, Let's go to sleep, a new adventure begins tomorrow!"
As they close their eyes, they take a deep breath, their heartbeat beats slower, as the moon's light seep through the window, and the relaxing atmosphere surrounds them. They fall asleep immediately..."
....
"Hey Kai, Do we really need to write the story of how we get transported into this world? It's not that important"
"Oi, Zei What are you talking about, What if a demon succubus creature with bat wings takes our memories when we have to save the world. It's done anyways let's just rest. I feel tired and that crab claw attack still hurts"
"Yeah~, I feel tired aswell"
They lie at the bed closing their eyes, They take a deep breath with their heartbeat slowing down, The moon's light seep through the window and the relaxing atmosphere surround them.
"Did I forget to lock the door? What if a thief or a burglar goes in?
What if that beautiful nurse is a goblin that can shapeshift to anything? Am I gonna die in my sleep?"
"KAI SHUT UP! Forget about those and just sleep damnit! None of that will happen! This town is well protected and safe okay?"
*Sigh* "You're right"
...
"Hey Kai, can we talk in first person from now on so when we write a story again our future selves won't struggle as we did."
"You're right"
Thoughts dwell my mind before feeling drowsy enough to sleep
"Hey Zei, what do you think will happen to our original bodies? How about our family, How do they feel right now? It was just a collide when we were playing volleyball right? How did we get knocked down so hard or maybe even die from a bump? Hell why are we even one?"
"..."
"You don't know too do you? Don't worry I feel you. Literally"
"Let's forget about all that and complete this world first. Maybe then we would know what happened to us"
"You're right.."
As fatigue sets in and thoughts are cleared from my mind. Before sleeping, I shouted.
"My adventure finally begins!"
