Axel.
That is the name of this town. Other people call it as the town of beginning or novice town. A very peaceful town with no strong monster in the vicinity and the main unit of demon king army is very far from here. That's why those who inspire to become an adventure came here and set it as their starting line.
Considering the setting of this place which is in the middle ages of Europe, the town are full of horse carriages and houses are made of bricks that can be find everywhere.
More importantly the people who live here consist of different races. Most notable among them are elves.
It's my first time seeing one but I was captivated by their beauty and otherworldly features. To avoid being label as a creep I stop gawking at them and try compose myself to begin examine my situation.
I was transported in a empty alley. From look I was getting from the surrounding it seems like the way I dress myself is unique for them. A fitting orange shirt under my red jacket , a black jeans and black casual shoes.
Ignoring my surrounding I begin exploring the area and asking someone I meet along the way a question to get the basic information such Adventurer Guild, Weapon stores, lodging , etc.
With the increase of my intelligence which I got from my ability, memorizing information becoming much easier.
First thing first, in order to register myself as an Adventurer I need some money or 1000 eris to be exact. For someone's who own nothing that amount is a lot.
I need to find a way earn that 1000 eris using the ability that I got from Aqua and I think I knew a place.
Skill : Root of Origin
Charges : 10/10
Level : 1/100
Effect : The ability to restore anything to it's original states.
+ 1000 intelligence
Cool down : 1 hour/charge
---------------------------
With a goal in mind I began walking in hurry into that place which is the town's gate.
Arriving there I greet the town's guard casually.
" Good morning officer how's your day. This might be peaceful town but with you guys here guarding this place put everyone at ease. I'm very thankful. "
"Hey kid, stop with the nonsense what do you want?"
The guard on duty watch me carefully with eyes full suspicion.
"Come on officer-san don't look at me that way I'm just an ordinary law abiding citizens being grateful how safety and peaceful this town is."
Seeing how the guards rolled their eyes clearly not believing my nonsense.
Sigh... It's really hard to be a good person.
"Okay fine, I bet officer-san must be aware how the price of the goods lately increases because of the crisis we are facing by fighting the Demon army right? As such, right now I'm very tight on eris. I'm just here to do some business opportunity for those adventurer who fight for us. You see despite my look I've got myself a unique ability, a rare healing spell that can rival a healing potion. The service for treatment is only 100 eris which is lower than the price of potion. With this skill I can't help those adventurer to save some eris right?"
"Young lad I know healing spell is but I haven't seen a healing spell that can rival a potion. There might out there who possesses it but you? Don't talk nonsense. Ahahahahah.!"
Along with other guard everyone laughter at me after officer-san claimed my ability as nonsense.
Well OK that was unexpected.
It's seems like powerful healing like what Aqua did in the anime is very rare. I can't help it if they don't believe all I have to do let them see and judge it for themselves.
"Regardless whether my spell is fake or not. Can you allow me to perform a treatment here? I promise I won't disturb your work."
"Yeah2x, do it at corner don't block the way."
" Thanks officer-san."
Giving my thanks I find myself on a corner outside of the gate waiting for an adventurer from their quest.
It didn't take long for an adventure to come in my view. Looking carefully the party consist of five man: Swordman, Shielder, Thief, Archer and a mage. They don't have a healer type since a class like Priest are rare.
Perfect.
I approach them carefully letting them know my presence.
I notice they they all suffer only minor injury except for their swordman who got himself hurt his head that was wrap by a bloody bandaged.
"Hello Adventurers , My name is Hikimori Saiko, nice meeting you! I apologize for stopping you but can I have your time and listen for my offer?"
"Make it short, we are in hurry."
The one who step forward is the swordman of the party and make a remarks.
Since they are in hurry I immediately state my intention. As expected they are skeptical at first but after I demonstrate it by healing one of their party they have no choice but to believe.
" That's very impressive skill you have there Hikimori-san, how about joining our party we are lacking a healer. If you join us that would be great!"
"I thank you for your kind words but I must decline."
After thanking Mars-san, their leader who introduced himself the swordsman of the party paid me 2000 eris. Though he look so disappointed for my refusal but thankfully he didn't pursue it and walkaway with his party.
"If you decided to find a party later on you can just find us, good bye!"
Their group disappeared after saying their goodbyes.
With the amount in my hands I can now register in the guild, take quest to earn some cash and then after that find a place to stay for the night.
-Comfortable bed is a must.
----------------
Walking on the roads towards the Adventurer Guild and feeling up the atmosphere, I can't help but think how absurd my situation is.
Then REALITY hit me.....
This is a just a DREAM, right!!!!!
Getting reborn in the KonoSuba world....
Ahahahah who am I kidding !!!
The shit is scientifically impossible!!!
That's bullshit that can only happen in some fan fiction story... Nai Waaa!
This is just a DREAM.!
A DREAM.
There's no way a loner like me can make a conversation like that without stuttering facing a person holding weapon that kill me easily. Its a DREAM. Ahahahah!!!
I feel like going crazy of the absurdity of my current state and in end up getting lost in thought.
Until...
"...Uhmm, excuse me are you okay?"
"WHAAT!!"
Getting called out suddenly while daydreaming in my DREAM piss me off!
But looking at the young girl who look scared after my outburst made me calm myself. How stupid ME...
"S-sorry for calling you suddenly , ... I'm just worried seeing you standing still on the road for a long time with a face full of worries... I just can't help but ask i-if ... there's something wrong ...sorry!"
Seeing her attempt to run I immediately block her way without thinking then ...
Bang!
Ouch!
Groaning painfully after being tackle to the ground along with the young girl.
After a while.
That...what happen?..
And...
What a nice smell...
But...
Can't breath!
What is this?
Feeling something soft on my face trying to suffocate me I hurriedly try to remove it...
Squeeze ~
What's this? Feeling it up with my hands...So soft...
Squeeze~
Squeeze~
"Kyaaaahh!!
I'm screwed up!!!
With a hard slap on my face a girlish scream rang out.
With a red handprint on my face, I'm kneeling on the ground and grinding my forehead on the hard concrete floor in front of the young girl I just molested in broad daylight.. What a bastard..
The girl is also kneeling on the ground trembling while hugging her chest with a drop of tears at the corner of teary eyes and blushing furiously.
"I'm sorry ! please forgive me!"
I can't think of anything to console the girl other than saying sorry.
My mind is mess for what happen and the sensation of breast. Damn it!
Looking up the girl looks so pitiful and cute .. wait fuck .!
What the hell is wrong with me there's no time for that.
"It's my fault, I don't know if slapping my face or beating me up makes you feel better but if does then feel free to do so. I won't say anything."
It's seem like the girl didn't hear me still shock for what happen and mumbling something.
"...My body. M-my body was touched by someone... Father s-sorry your daughter was no longer pure.. I can't marry anymore.." *sob.
Whaaa--!! Shit!
Think! Think!
Its time to use your high intelligence to come up something to alleviate this situation.
Faster ME!
Gathering my thoughts...
I face the girl calmly while looking sincerely with gentle eyes and said softly.
" I am Hikimori Saiko, I just arrived in this town a while ago. First of all I'm very sorry for my outburst early on. I'm not thinking straight and my head was a mess. That's remind me you approaches me because you are worried of me, right? That's very kind of you... but instead of being grateful I treated you harshly, furthermore...for what I did please forgive me."
After saying that I prostate myself, grinding my forehead against the floor.
"N-o its fine , please get up. It's also my fault...sorry!"
"No please don't apologize, I can't forgive myself for making you feel that way."
We keep on apologizing to each other while prostrating myself and the girl trying to help me up. After a while
we look each other and find ourselves laughing how comical we saying sorry each other. It's seem like i was forgiven already.
What a nice girl.
Then , we notice the weird look we are getting so we decided to find quite place to talk to.
Taking her hand gently though she try to resist at first, I led to her away from the crowd.
"Again let me introduce myself, I am Hikimori Saiko, A new face in town. Nice to meet you."
I extended my hand for a handshake and the girl took it timidly.
It's seems this cute girl is a shy type.
"N-nice to meet you Saiko-san, My name is Y-yunyun..."
Yunyun ? What a cute name.
Wait...
YUNYUN!!!!
