Haru:So it's like in my past world but it's quite different because they're selling weapons and what is that??
While looking around I catch a glimpse of something. Curious I followed it and find.
???:Give me the money!
???:But this is all I have left. I can't give it to you.
???: You're talking back now huh!?
He punches the guy in the stomach.
Guy being extorted: Guh! *cough*
(Haru: So even in this world there are still people like Lee.)
I have two choices help him or just walk away.
But I choose.
Haru:Stop there!
He looked my way and glared at me.
???:And who are you!? Huh!?
Haru:Ah... Just passing by?
???:Then don't get in my way!
(Haru:Now how am I going to handle this situation.)
???:"..."
(Haru:No no, he's coming.)
Intimidating me he faces me. But it's weird he's much bigger than me but I'm not scared.
(Haru:Is this because I'm used to being beaten up by Lee?)
Big Man:Hoh, you're not scared are you?
Haru: You're just big. You're bullying the weak because they're the ones you can handle!
(Haru:Oh no. He's pissed I'm dead now. Bye new life of mine.)
Big Man: You've got the guts to shout at me I'll give you that but I'll show you the difference.
*Punch*
Haru:*cough*
The Man Being Extorted:Hey are you alright?
Haru:I'm not alright. Damn you! Big oaf!
Big Oaf:Big Oaf you say!
Haru:Yeah and your punch didn't hurt that much.
Big Oaf:What did you say!?
The big oaf rushed at me and I faced him too.
(Haru:Hah. You fell for it.)
The Man Being Extorted:What!?
Haru slides underneath the big oaf and the big oaf is crushed through the wall.
Big Oaf: *down*
Haru:That takes care of him. *dusting himself*
Haah.
The Man Being Extorted:Amazing. You are amazing you beat him.
*shaking Haru's hands repeatedly*
Haru:Huh huh? Wait. Don't get too close.
The Man Being Extorted:I'm sorry. Quite rude of me Let me introduce myself first. I'm...
Before he can introduce himself someone called him.
???:Come here.
The Man Being Extorted:Thanks for saving me but I need to go.
Haru:Weird. No time to think About it I need to find the goddess gifts.
Checking the map again I'm in the center of a city and the gift is in a mountain?
Goddess:Haha. It's fun observing him.
The Goddess is watching Haru as he manages to beat the big oaf.
Goddess:Big Oaf he Said... Puff hahaha
*Laughing*
Goddess:Enough laughing needs to do the work. So far it's good but we can't tell what will happen to him... Maybe I will send some reinforcement for him?
Goddess:No no, we can't spoil him. Let's just observe for now.
Haru: "Hah... I'm hungry and I need to eat something.
While my stomach is growling I saw a good place to eat.
???:Welcome welcome, guaranteed good food for an cheap price.
I approached him...
Haru: "E-excuse me?
???: "Oh! The first customer come here!
He pushes me toward the place and I take the seat.
???: "What will you order?"
Haru: "Anything that is good."
Owner: "Anything that is good? Okay coming right up!
Haru: "This is a nice place. Quiet and peaceful. Unlike in my past.
Cafeteria
Lee and the others did not only get money from me. They take my food too. I can't eat in peace like this.
Owner: "Here's our specialty."
He places the food on the table. With a smile he said.
Owner: "What? You like the place?"
Haru: "Yeah I like it. It's peaceful unlike in my...
Owner: "In my?"
Haru: "It's nothing."
I started to eat the food and it was so good the flavor.
Haru: "Umm. Mr can I ask what's your name?"
The owner is staring at Haru.
Owner: "You boy where are you from?"
Haru: "Me? I'm just a traveler. And I need to find this do you know where this is?
[ I showed the map to the owner and...]
Owner: "That? Boy *holds Haru's shoulders" don't go there."
Haru: "Why?"
Owner: "It's dangerous there... And my name is Antonio I'm just the owner of this little place."
Haru: "Okay... This place is nice even though it's not at fancy as others I like it here I'm going to come back here later when I'm hungry again.*
Antonio: "Thanks looking forward for you and since you are nice, I will treat you more.
Haru: "No, it's okay, Mr.Antonio you don't need to bother yourself. Thanks for the food.
I leave the money on the table and left.
(Haru: That's a nice place but why is it dangerous? Ah. I forgot to ask why it's dangerous. Well, whatever let's just find out ourselves.)
Haru: "But this map... There's something wrong with it. Why it's shining?"
The map starts to shine and the map showed a route to follow I followed it until I arrived at my destination.
Haru: "Mansion?"
The mansion is like a haunted house
Haru: "In the map, it's inside. Why did it have to be a haunted house? Is this map sure or is it a scam? My gift is here?
The Goddess promises Haru a gift.
Goddess: "Look forward to it. I've got a gift for you so find it."
(Goddess: "Be careful though.")
Haru: "O-okay. Did you say something?"
Goddess: "Oh nothing."
Haru: "Can I ask you a question?"
Goddess: "It's alright."
Haru: "Why did you reincarnate me in another world? Do you pity my life? If that then..."
Goddess: "Come on I'm not pitying you. And don't sulk. You're way cuter when you're."
Haru:*blush* "If you say so..."
(Haru I've decided to just enter the mansion and what awaits me is...)
???: "Welcome Human this is my mansion!"
Haru: "Ah girl? Where's my gift, Goddess?"
???: "Oh how sharp of you to call me Goddess. When I'm one! Haha
The girl starts laughing.
Haru: "Self-proclaimed goddess?
Self-proclaimed Goddess: "How dare you call me self-proclaimed *slap*
Haru: "What!?"
Lee: "That's what you get for trying to hit her."
Haru: "I'm sorry."
Self-proclaimed Goddess: "What? Just a little slap you down what a weakling. Since your weakling allow me to introduce myself. I'm Aina goddess of... What is it again I forgot."
Haru: "Haha, you forgot what kind of God you are."
Aina: "Hmph. *pouting*
Haru: "What are you doing in a place like this?
The Self proclaimed-goddess is a beautiful woman with silver hair and...
Aina: "What? Head over heels for me already?"
Haru: "You wish we only met. And I'm here for the goddess gift. Can you guide me to where is the treasure room here?"
Aina: "Goddess? Who?"
Haru: "The Goddess is my savior. I owe her and she said that there was a gift here. Look *showing the map to Aina* look it's shining."
Aina: "Are you an idiot, of course, it's shining because this mansion is filled with my magic."
Haru: "Magic? What!? Then I'm mistaken. Bye!"
Haru tries to leave but Aina holds his hands.
Aina: "Where do you think you're going? It's been a while since I interact with humans. I Aina order you to clean this house."
Haru: "What!? Don't be ridiculous this house is so freaking big I can't clean it alone."
Aina: "Don't worry I've got it. You just need to do what I order you to do. No objection right?"
Haru: "Alright."
Aina: "What? Not fighting back?"
Haru: "Fighting back? I'm not going to hurt a girl just for this... Compare to what I've experienced this is easy."
Aina: "If you say so be it."
(Aina: "What a weird human other humans take advantage of something but he's...)
Haru then starts cleaning the house.
Aina: "Are you used to this kind of thing?"
Haru: "Well, you can say I do.
(Haru: "I do part-time jobs like this since Lee and the others always take my money."
The house is mostly cleaned now.
Haru: "Now it's done. Anything you need?"
*stomach growling*
Haru: "Looks like your hungry. Where's your kitchen?
Aina: "Hey don't just casually walk around."
Haru: "But your hungry right? I need to prepare you something to eat."
Aina: "Prepare me something? Are you, my maid now?"
Haru: "You can call me anything you want."
Aina: "Then what's your name?"
Haru: "Kurogane Haru."
Aina: "Kurogane Haru? That's so long then I'll just call you Haru from now on."
Haru: "Haru huh?"
Aina: "Got a problem with it?"
Haru: *grinning* "Nothing."
Aina: "Then why are you grinning?"
Haru: "Is it a problem?"
Aina: "Not."
Haru: "Then just sit there and watch. What do you normally eat?
Haru look around and there were no ingredients he can use.
Haru: "What's this you don't have any ingredients?"
Then something clicked within Haru's head.
(Haru: "Come to think of it. This mansion is weird and the weirdest here is how this girl survives without eating?")
Aina: "If you think I'm a ghost then your wrong I'm perfectly fine."
Haru: "Fine."
I always said to myself I'm fine don't worry about it.
Haru: "Fine you said. Then eat properly wait here I'm going to buy ingredients and make you a meal so wait for me."
Aina: "Ah he left. I guess he's not going to come back."
Haru left the mansion and set out to buy some ingredients.
The town is still busy Haru hurriedly picks the ingredients he knows to prepare an at least nutritious meal.
Goddess: "Haru you are so kind. Just met her then he cleans her house and now he's going to prepare a meal. What a foolish thing to do.
While browsing Haru heard a few rumors going around the town.
According to the rumors, the girl living in the mansion is cursed and said that she grew horns and...
Girl: "He's a monster."
Haru: "How can you say that?"
Girl: "What who are you?"
Haru: "It's easy for you guys to judge other people you barely know."
???:What? A fight?
Then one man came up to the scene and said...
Man: "What? And who are you huh?
Haru: "Me? I'm just a traveler.
Man: "Then Mr.Traveler can you just leave? You're bothering her."
The girl then hides behind his back.
Haru: "Tch, always hiding behind someone's back."
The man then.
Man: "What?" *punch*
Haru: *blocked*
All of the people who are witnessing are shocked that Haru blocks it.
???: How?
Haru: "You. I've got something to tell you. Don't try to act cool by protecting someone like that.
Haru glares at the man.
Man: "..."
Haru then left the scene.
Haru: "Judging people based on rumor? What a bull. I'm not that low.
Haru then returns to the mansion carrying the things he buys.
Haru: "I'm back!"
Aina: "What?"
Haru: "What Aina shocked to see me?"
Aina: "What about the rumors?"
Haru: "Rumors? A that. I don't believe in rumors."
Aina: "But you heard what they said... *looks down*
Haru: "They said... Aina. Don't be down because others talk about you like that."
Aina: "And who said I'm down? I'm a goddess so I can't be down in the dumps forever and if you think I'm weak you're wrong."
Haru: "Then sit down and wait until I finish preparing food."
