[Dimension Travel Card: A system item that allows travel to another world for up to one year. Return is possible at any time, with no system quests required.]
Looking at the description of this item, August felt a surge of excitement. A Dimension Travel Card—just from the name, it sounded like it was made for enjoyment. Besides, after get isekai, time would be frozen in his current world, so August had no concerns.
Once this idea popped into his head, it became hard to resist. August was filled with anticipation.
Moreover, he had a world tree sapling that needed nurturing. If he could travel to another world, he might even get to play the role of a dark lord, helping the world tree sapling grow a bit faster.
Since the time in DxD would freeze after he traveled, it was perfectly fine to go have some fun.
Without much hesitation, August picked up the Travel Card and used it immediately.
Boom!
A familiar sensation of spinning and dizziness took over. In that moment, the entire world seemed to whirl around him.
August's consciousness began to blur...
...
This is a fantastical Western world, a place where genuine "peace" and "tranquility" have been achieved.
In this world, besides humans, there are also elves, fairies, beastfolk, demons, yokai, angels, and devils—an array of various races living together.
This world, where different species coexist, has even developed a comprehensive societal structure. All races live together in harmony.
The Ale & Eats Tavern is a pub in this town, a popular gathering spot for countless adventurers. The food and drinks here are not only reasonably priced but also taste great, making it a favored spot.
Meidri, a birdwinged person, works at the tavern as what could be considered a waitress in this world.
However, today is a special day for Meidri. Unlike humans, winged people don't bleed during their monthly cycle; instead, they lay unfertilized eggs.
Today was one of those days. Meidri had unusually asked the tavern's owner for a day off and was resting in her room.
"Ugh…"
Meidri lay on her bed, experiencing her winged people's physiological period.
Plop!
Soon, an egg plopped onto the floor, but this wasn't the last one.
Before long, a second egg followed suit.
But it still wasn't over; there was a third egg.
Just then, a black vortex appeared in Meidri's room. She was too uncomfortable to notice anything unusual.
From this black vortex, a figure materialized in the room.
Thud!
Finally, Meidri's third egg was laid, signaling the end of her ordeal.
However, this entire scene, without a single outsider, was witnessed by an unexpected guest.
"Ah... Finally, it's over. This always annoys me so much."
Meidri's face flushed as she looked at the three eggs on her bed.
Winged people typically lay one or two eggs at a time. Laying three indicates a lack of fulfillment in a particular aspect of life, leading to this occurrence.
Meidri was like this. Even though she worked at the Tavern, she maintained her purity, taking relationships between men and women very seriously.
Looking at the three eggs before her, Meidri was conflicted. She didn't know what to do. Eating them wasn't an option; they were her own eggs, after all, so she couldn't bring herself to do it. Giving them to someone else was even more out of the question; that was immediately dismissed.
But throwing them away? She just couldn't bear it, as these were her own eggs.
Just as Meidri hesitated, she caught a glimpse of someone out of the corner of her eye.
She was momentarily stunned. As she lifted her head, Meidri froze completely. She wasn't seeing things; there was indeed a person in her room.
And that wasn't the worst part—the worst part was, when did he even get here?
Had he seen everything just now when she was laying eggs?
"Eek!!!"
As a woman, Meidri immediately let out a scream! The sound was sharp, piercing, and incredibly penetrating.
"Hey, please don't be like this! I swear it wasn't intentional! I really didn't mean to."
The "lucky" person speaking was none other than August, who had just traveled to this world.
To be honest, August was feeling quite speechless. Why did his journey to a new world have to start with such a scene—watching a birdwoman lay eggs right in front of him?
This birdwoman was particularly strange. She had wings on her back, hands like a normal human, but her feet were bird talons.
In Orario, August had seen some beastfolk, but this was the first time he'd encountered a race like hers. As for the egg-laying process, August didn't find it all that shocking.
There were no private parts exposed; he had merely seen an egg fall to the floor.
Meanwhile, as Meidri watched August approach her, her face filled with fear.
"Um, Miss Birdwoman, I really mean no harm. I only ended up here because of a teleportation spell that went wrong."
"Stay back! Don't come any closer!"
Recognizing his own mistake, August obediently took a few steps back, keeping his distance from Meidri.
Seeing his actions, Meidri began to understand. This man, though mysterious, probably wasn't a bad person. But he certainly wasn't a gentleman, either.
It was like a girl being caught changing her sanitary pad during her period—an utterly mortifying experience.
Looking through a nearby window, August noticed the pedestrians on the street outside were truly a motley crew.
Humans, lizardfolk, birdfolk, and all sorts of beastfolk, a diversity too vast to count. This piqued August's curiosity about what kind of world he had ended up in. Could this be a magical fantasy world?
"What's your name? Who are you?" Meidri asked after a long pause.
"My name is August. I'm a traveler, and my passion is wandering around, exploring everything the world has to offer."
"A traveler? Like an adventurer?"
"Something like that."
"Then why did you appear in my room, spying on me?"
Meidri's face turned beet red as she said this. For any woman, this would be an unbelievably embarrassing situation.
"I really am sorry about that. When I used my teleportation spell, something went wrong, and I got caught in a spatial rift. I honestly don't know why I ended up here. To be truthful, I don't even know where this place is."
Hearing this, Meidri's face was full of skepticism. She didn't immediately believe August's words.
However, as she sized August up and down, she noticed that he was quite handsome. If a man like him pursued her, Meidri thought, she probably wouldn't refuse. And with his looks, he certainly wouldn't lack for beautiful women.
