Chapter 2: Harpy Tribe of the Forest 2
Arisugawa Hiroaki wakes up in a strange place and bumps into a girl who fell from the sky.

"Ouch... are you okay?"
I sat up slowly.
"Ugh, that hurts, oh! I'm so sorry!"
The girl on top of me jumped back in a panic. I feel a little uncomfortable with the way she looks at me. Besides, the tips of her arms resemble bird wings.
"What? You're not human?"
She is about two heads shorter than me in height, and the color of her wings and hair is a brownish-orange hue.
After all, this is the world of the afterlife. Could she be an angel? The girl, who seems to be an angel, is cautiously looking at me.
"What, you're human?"
"Of course I am, I think."
"Hmm, hehehe, you look strange~"
The girl looks at me and smiles.
"What, am I really that strange?"
"Humhum, it's strange because your clothes are smooth, so you don't look scary at all!"
Indeed, wearing a suit may make me out of place in this natural environment. But if she says I'm not scary, humans in this world are probably scary?
"No, wait a minute, are there other humans in this world besides me?!"
The girl shrank back when I asked this question in a louder tone.
"Of course there are, but they are scary people, so don't get close to them."
"I see..."
After all, this is not heaven? So who is this girl?
"I'm sorry, but who the heck are you?"
"Huh? Me? My name is Pione! It's just that everyone calls me Piyo!"
She answered my question with a big smile.
