Chap 1
In class 2-3 there was a boy who was lying on his desk with his head face down.
"When will they release the next installment for Queens of Boobs 2?" Issei complained.
"Never ever." Motohama said.
"You do know that the first game is a flop right? They won't do the second one." Matsuda added in.
"But I want a sequel! They put in a tease for a harem end then decide not to do a sequel!?" Issei shouted.
Issei was a fan of Queens of Boobs which was the first eroge he played when he stepped into the otaku world. Even though it wasn't a bad game it was mediocre to many people. Issei was one of the few people who liked and enjoyed the game. He had been waiting for the sequel but it never came out. The company had no intention to do it from the source he got. Issei was depressed when he learned about that news and the only thing he could do was to complain about it to his only 'friends' who happened to be shameless in discussing eroge right in the class.
When school was over Issei ran home. He wanted to buy more h games. He had saved up quite a bit but if he bought the game now he might not have enough for some special edition releases in the near future. Those two friends of him probably would buy them though. Issei also wanted to discuss the new games with his friends yet it might be better to just borrow the games from his friends and save his hard earned allowance for other important releases.
"I'm home mom!"
"Issei! We're out of milk. Go to the supermarket and get some!"
"Did you forget to buy some when you went to the market today mom?"
"Yes, now go quickly and return before dinner." Mrs Hyodo gave him some money.
Issei nodded to his mom, still in his uniform. He rode his bicycle to the local supermarket. It was a fast trip but Issei wanted to check out the new stuffs in the local video game shop. He knew he probably wouldn't buy anything but still he wanted to check them out. When he arrived at the local video game shop there was no one but the shopkeeper and another man who was looking through the shelves. The other customer was a foreigner. Since Issei didn't care much about that he immediately went straight to the h games section.
"Hm…" There was no new game. Perhaps the shopkeeper hadn't put on the new releases?
Since Issei had no intention to buy he didn't want to ask the shopkeeper either. He just silently walked out the shop then rode on his bicycle back home. But he didn't get too far before something hit him on the back of his neck.
When Issei woke up he was in a dark room. The only light source was the little light bulb which wasn't that bright. It was hard to see things around. Issei himself was tied by a rope, he couldn't move around.
"What's happening?" He tried to look around but still he couldn't figure out where he was. The last thing he remembered was that he was on his way back home after he had bought milk and checked out the video game shop. From the look outside the window it had been a hour or so. Issei seriously thought he had been kidnapped but he had no idea why people would want to kidnap him. He didn't have much money on his body, his mom certainly didn't give him more than what he needed to buy the milk. Just when he was about to see if he could loosen the rope a figure entered the room.
"You are…" But he couldn't finish his sentence. The robed figure pulled out a knife and stab his arm.
"Ouch!" Blood began to drip out of his arm. The culprit left the knife there and began to chant something that he could understand. He knew it wasn't English, what Issei cared the most now was how to get away from this crazy guy. Then the floor beneath him started to glow. Something of circle with strange characters was drawn and only now that Issei became aware of it.
"What are you-" Then something appeared in the middle of the circle. It was a tall armored figure. On its right hand was a sword… Sword? Spear? Drill? Issei had no idea what it was but from the look of it he knew it was some kind of weapon. He then felt a burning sensation on the back of his left hand. Issei clenched his teeth. The burn on his left hand was more than the numbed wound on his arm. He tried to endure the pain to see what was happening on his hand.
"What the hell…" It was a mark. On the back of his hand there was red strange mark that looks like tattoo. He had no idea what that was. When his kidnapper saw the mark he shouted out something. Again Issei couldn't understand what that guy was talking about. At the same time when the armored figure saw the mark on his hand it raised its weapon slightly. The kidnapper immediately headed straight to Issei, he pulled out the knife on his arm and tried to slash him but before he could do it the armored figure stopped him with its weapon. The armored figure was strong, a single backslap was enough to send the kidnapper across the room.
The knife was flung far away, the kidnapper couldn't retrieve it fast enough. The kidnapper then escaped the room hastily. The armored figure talked to Issei in Japanese.
"Do you want me to pursue and put an end to him master?"
"What… Master?"
He couldn't understand what just happened. Issei had no clue what happened at all. All he knew was that he was bleeding and if he didn't stop it his life would be in danger.
"For now can you at least help me out? Can you cut the rope?"
"... I see. Letting the enemy espace might be a bad idea but your safety is far more important." The rope was easily cut. The armored figure then tore out a part of his shirt to bandage the wound. "This will do for now." Only now that Issei realized the armored figure had a voice of a young woman. There was too many questions he would like to ask but Issei felt tired mentally and physically. Since this armored figure had saved him and he had no idea when that kidnapper would return to finish the job (of killing him) so it was better to have this armored figure to accompany him. Even though he had no idea who was this woman and how she appeared. The wound on his arm forced him to do what he needed to so he could take a rest.
"Thanks... I want to go home. Can you er follow me? I don't know when that guy will appear again." Issei nervously asked.
"Why are you asking me this master? I am your servant. My duty is to protect you from harm. Of course I will follow you master."
"Okay… How do I call you anyway?" He wanted to know the name of the woman who saved him before anything.
"Servant Lancer, at your command master."
Lancer? Foreigner sure had strange name. Again with that master and servant thing. Issei determined to find out what the hell it was when he was back at home.
"I'd like to use my steed to carry us home but for some reasons I can't summon it. Master if you have trouble walking I will carry you."
"N-No need for that. I can walk by myself." It would be too embarrassed to be carried by a woman. Issei didn't want to show his uncool side to this woman. With the help of Lancer he walked out the room and down.
"Oh?" There was a bag on the way when Issei and Lancer went downstair. Inside was some video game boxes. So that kidnapper was the same guy he met in the video game shop. These video games were on the current trend. Looked like this guy's objective wasn't buying games after all.
"Might as well…" He also recovered the milk from the supermarket. Since Issei was wounded he couldn't ride the bicycle properly. However Lancer could easily ride on it. It was a strange sight. A tall armored figure on the front seat pedalling with Issei behind. Still he didn't complain. Lancer was strong and fast. Very fast. Within a few minutes they arrived at Issei's home.
"Hey Lancer can you wait here for a bit?" Bringing another person home was a problem, moreso when it was a tall woman in full armor.
"I don't think it's a good idea for us to be separated master. I am your lance and shield. If you don't want anyone else to see me then I will enter my spirit form." Lancer then became invisible. With that Issei removed his bandage and put on his jacket so his wound wouldn't be visible. He didn't want his parents to worry about it. When he entered the house he got lectured by his parents for returning late. Fortunately they saw the bag he was carrying and assumed that he went out his way to buy video games so they weren't too suspicious about what he actually had done. The games were confistraced and Issei was banned from using his console though. When thing settled down Issei finally had a chance to rest. He could vaguely feel the presence of Lancer close to him. If she couldn't enter this spirit form then it would be a lot more harder to explain to his parents.
"Rest well master. I will watch over you."
"Thank you Lancer."
And then he fell into sleep. There were so many things Issei couldn't understand yet he ignored them for a moment. Lancer was still in her armor. Issei hoped she was a beauty. He would definitely find out the next day along with whatever the master and servant thing.
AN: Feel free to guess who's Lancer and who are the other masters along with their servants.
