A Dragon's Misadventures
Chapter 1: Fanon, Meet Canon
It was a perfectly normal day in a normal town called Kuoh.
Key word: was
On a forest surrounding an abandoned Church on top of hill, a vortex made out of multitude of colour and humming with power spat out a girl, no older than 13, with long hair down below the knee. She landed face first into the dirt. Her bag followed after, hitting the back of her head with loud "THUMP".
"Ow you fucker!" Naomi spat that out and various curse words in Japanese, English, German, and some language not known by humans, as the portal closed. "That damn bloodsucker! I am in middle of finishing my sword dammit! Can't he see I am almost finished and wait for another two weeks? This thing is not that important!" She looked up and start sniffling the air.
"Ooohhh great. Parallel world to mine. Her Ddraig, wake up!" In her mind, she made mental movement kicking a giant red dragon awake. "We're in other world. Can't you sense your twin-of-some-sort?"
A loud yawn echoed inside her head. "[Hmm... yeah I can. And he's still sleeping... huh... gimme a min']" Ddraig paused and concentrated for a moment. "[He's in the town... weird... I swear the amount of testoterone is too high than normal human should have... hell, even devil had lower amount of hormones. Hey. Try to see your alternate.]"
"Ehh... sure, why not? Not like I can just open get home after dumped here." Naomi shrugged and slung her bag over her shoulder before walking down to the town.
This world Kuoh town is not any different than hers... as far as she can tell, of course. Putting up ruse school oversea in boarding school give her the best leeway why she spend most of her time in London than here. The town is just like any town... one that did not deal with Magic at all. At least not in open public. Not too big, not too small. Full of civilians who has no idea if someone cast Magic in their town... and possibly guarded by a Supernatural Creature who claim this town as their turf.
First stop first, Pawn Shop.
She had no money. Using her world's money feels wrong. Lucky thing, she had few flawed gem she's planned to sold. Gems that are beautiful and rare enough it will sold high, but has very tiny unseen cracks that made it not good enough for jewelcraft.
She got few millions Yen for that Diamond alone, spend the money on cheaper but better gems after booking a room at inn for one night. She intends to leave tomorrow.
Lodgings... done. Lunch? Already buy a burger to eat while walking, so, done. What's now...? Hitting the Arcade? It has been years since last time she'd gone there.
There's also matters about her of this world... Ddraig had literally turn what he felt from this world into computer data before present it to her, thanks to countless hours spent together strengthening their bonds. That amount of libido is not healthy.
'It feels like Alternate me is walking baggage of hormone...' Pondered the brunette. 'Did she or he stay and watch that crazy pervert's show and somehow get infected?'
Sighing and scratching her head, Naomi decide to buy some Manga or Light Novel for her future project ideas... or just to kill boredom. It was rare for her to find some time to actually do window shopping and buy things personally, with how busy she is.
"Oh."
Just as she about to pick a rather interesting manga, someone else had picked it up. And it has to be the last copy in this store. She looked up to who take it before her, and stunned.
That boy... he can pass as her twin. They had same facial shape, except her face is more heart-shapely and has slightly plump lips, being a female. Heck, should she cut her hair that short and tie it in low twintail with brown ribbon, and wear chest binding, plus that same male school uniform, no one can tell the difference.
"Umm..." The boy coughed awkwardly. "Eh... sorry miss..."
"...call me Nao." Naomi replied, deciding to pick up other manga and Light novel from the stacks. "And yours?"
"Issei. Hyoudou Issei. Nice ta meet'cha Nao-chan."
"...Likewise... Issei..."
Should Naomi didn't turn her back on Issei, the male can see her strained expression, and how pale her face is, with cold sweat dripping down to her neck.
'Ddraig...' Wailed Naomi, silently having mental breakdown.
'[Yeah... it's him... You of this world.]' Replied Ddraig. Had he assume human form, he would've scratching his cheek awkwardly. '[You know... I did said to checked on him, but I didn't expect for us to find him this fast... on other note, it seems other me is still asleep... but if we stay long he will awake.]'
'I know.'
"So... Nao-chan." Called Issei, "I never see you before. Are you new here?"
Of course he is going to take notice. Not everyday you meet stranger who bear your face, only in opposite gender.
"I'm just visiting." She didn't intend to stir the hornet's nest by giving signal to all Supernaturals that there's double amount of Boosted Gear Wielder running around, even if it only one who is actively involved with magical. Nope sire. She won't touch it if she can avoid it. The backlash is not pretty. "You are native?"
"Yep. Wanna me show you around?"
"If it wasn't much troubles..." 'And I can figured out why you feels like radiating off hormones...'
Issei grinned! Finally! He can show a cute girl around... even if this one could pass as his sister for all know. But a girl is a girl and that was it all count! Perhaps he can secretly inquired what girl likes so he can be such amazing boyfriend when he finally scored himself a hot girl—
"Hey! Is that new episode of Kaben Rider Pinky there?!" He exclaimed loudly. Quickly made his way to shelves where R-rated otaku paraphernalia are hold.
He totally didn't saw how Naomi's face turned ashen pale and a emerald on her gloves she wore start blinking rather rapidly as if whimpering.
~X~
"Hm~ How did Nao-chan take it, I wonder?"
Coming back from some random Hospital for his weekly intake for blood, Zelretch mused about what his newest apprentice would likely react. The smug smile and troll aura around him is more than enough to make any magi in fifty meter radius from him frozen up, rapidly turned pale, and either start whimpering or outright bolting away.
No one wanted to be around when Zelretch is in trolling mood. No. One.
Every single magi in Clock Tower honestly pitied Naomi, for putting up with this insane troll and all of his bad habits. They seriously do.
Turning the doorknob, Zelretch walking in to his office.
What greeted him is a punch to face followed by swift kick to the balls.
Both are clearly reinforced with both prana and spell to give the user Dragon's natural steel-like skin for limited time. That was the only reason why Zelretch can feel any pain in the first place... and damn it did hurt like hell.
"You JERK!" Naomi half shouting half wailed. Her face is almost as pale as Zelretch with puffy red eyes as if she has been crying. Ehhh... scratch that. She is crying. There's tears still streaming down her cheeks like mini river. The young adolescent raised her hand in very familiar shooting motion. "How dare you... How dare you... HOW DARE YOU LUMP ME IN THAT DAMNED WORLD?! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT KIND OF MENTAL SCARS I GOT?!" She screamed before firing Boosted Gear powered-gandr.
"I take it you like my pre—ow ow ow ow ow that hurts that hurts! Yeouch!" Yelped Zelretch as the curse hit him in private area. Repeatedly. And sending him crashing to the bookshelves. Making the books, tomes, scrolls, and whatever else tumbling down and buried him.
Naomi whimpered as yet another scarring memories resurfaced.
"OOOHH This is truly a paradise! The Dream versus Reality: Darkness Edition is finally released!" Issei exclaimed loudly, drawing attention of other visitors. He was holding out a video game with picture that clearly doesn't made for child under age 18. Drooling slightly with lecherous face.
"I know that pals!" A yet another boy, with glasses, smirked smugly. "This babe is produced in limited edition. A rare treasury. Only one hundred copies are made."
"Uweehhh! That's too bad! The Dream versus Reality: The Animation is really cool! Mana-chan has the best curves and she is Darkness edition's main heroine! Ahhh... why is someone can be that cruel to not give her so much spotlight!"
"Heh. I prefer Liz myself. She..."
As the duo perverts began theorizing and discussing a clearly adult video game, Naomi bowed to the store manager, clerk, other staff, and the visitor.
"Thousands apologies!" She bowed in perfect ninety degree ojigi. Her face is as red as Ddraig's scale and there's steam coming out from her ears. "I'm so ashamed for my cousin and his friend's action! Please don't call the police!"
Naomi whimpered.
Ten minutes later, when El-Melloi II coming in with paper pusher behind him, they are greeted with scene the Second Magic user is dragging himself out from the books and whatever else buried him alive, while across the room, in a dark corner, Naomi sat and hugging herself in fetal position. Rocking back and forth.
Should it have been a cartoon from her native homeland, she would've growing mushroom, summoning shadow to her corner, on top of color failure.
El-Melloi II sighed.
"Great... just great..."
