On Esdeath's side
It's been a few years since the death of her father after which she had come to realize that "only strong has the right to survive while the weak dies" Or being weak is a sin in this world as you can not control your own destiny. Therefore after that incident she came to the empire to get strong and after a few years she is already a captain with a team.
Recently she also plan to get a teigu which would make her even more stronger once she properly trains to utilize it.
Today was no different for her in her life except that there was a small village, well small enough to not come in the category of the village and there was a bandit group which attacked and slaughtered the whole village.
Originally she was not the one in charge to come here but for some reason she thought to go, no particular reason ,maybe just on a whim.
When they reached the village they saw the situation of the village and it was clear that they would not be able to catch that group as they had left.
Looking at the seen Esdeath felt nothing as this type of scenes were actually very common in the missions that were given to her. Sometimes even she herself would slaughter people.
She asked her team to check for any survivors but she was sure that there were none as the bandits would have clearly not left anyone behind.
But one of the soldier found someone alive. This caught her interest a little as she wanted to know who was left alive after the whole village was slaughtered .
As she was also the sole survivor of the slaughtered village.
Soon the soldier brought the boy ,it was a boy of 5 years old with cute features with red eyes, he was wearing rags that were covered in blood but he was not that afraid of his own situation like other people would be trembling and crying their heart out right about now and he was directly seeing in her eyes without being afraid like all others well maybe because he hasn't seen the real me still let's see how he will respond to my questions.
[MCs : POV]
oh shit.
Is that really Esdeath. Then I am in an anime right now but how? Why?
And i don't even know anything about the anime heck I don't even know any other character because I wanted to keep it as a suspense on my first anime .I didn't even search for any plot or anything like it .
Shit. I m so dumb, just watching the anime because of a hot female character. I totally deserve it.
But now what should I do? She definitely is one of the main if not the main character but what is her role.
What if? Her role is something like--
She finds the main character in an abandoned village and take him as her disciple and teaches him and then they become lovers, something like that plot. Man that's a little cringe even by my standards.
Well ,no matter what she is one of the main character and i have heard that anime waifu's are a lot better than the real girls both in the looks department ,which I can see,and in the character department as generally they are very very lovely but why doesn't she comfort a child in a situation like me.
Hmm..... Oh maybe she is tough on the outside and soft on the inside, yes yes I know many people like that type of characters.
[Author note: you don't even know how wrong you are]
Then I should follow her by all means necessary as I want to be involved in the main story and i don't know any other characters in this world except her.I don't even know what to do other than follow her as I am in a five year old boy's body who is the sole survivor of a massacre.
And maybe I can find a way to return to my original world by participating in the main story.
The least I can do is learn about the world. It's people, it's customs, the things necessary for the survival in this world.
When I was having this thoughts the girl in front of me finally asked me a question.
"What's your name? "She asked in a firm voice. Which is in no way the tone to be used against someone in my situation.
"Senshi" I answered in my cute voice. She asked again.
"What happened to your parents? "
Duh. They should be dead just like the whole village. Wait I never thought about the body's parents but as he was alone in the cottage. So either they were out at the time of attack or he was an orphan just like me. Well I will just say I don't have any.
And why are everyone here such rude idiots. I mean the kid literally came out of a slaughtered village and you are asking this.Oh maybe she has never been in a situation like this before. Ok you get a pass because you are beautiful.
"No I don't have any." I said with a plain voice without any anger or grief as in previous life I was an orphan to so I don't know what is parental love.
A little surprised by my straight forward answer and the tone of answer she paused for a moment and then she asked again.
"Do you know who did this or heard a name from the ones who did this? "
What should I tell her?? I don't know anything that happened here and I am a little irritated and angry now .They are just interrogating me without even asking if I am alright or giving me comfort or assurance that everything will be alright.
"I don't know.I was passed out in my home." This time my voice contained a little anger unconsciously.
Yep that should suffice. But that was not the end as I thought as she asked me another question but it was a question I was waiting for.
"What do you plan on doing from now on? "
Yes this was the question I waiting for as now I will do exactly what I planned.
I slowly walked towards her under the confused gazes of everyone. Even the woman in question was looking at me in surprise.
I guess it's time for me to do something that nobody expected me to do, I go up to her and hug her tight, yep you heard right I hug her and say
"I want to follow nee-chan and become strong."
And I say this while making the most determined face I could muster as I really wanted to follow her and my voice was also serious because I know this was my only chance and I have to take it.
