Prologue- A Clumsy Meeting
Our tale begins with a young 5'7 feet tall 19-year old man, who lives in modern Japan where demi-humans and mythical creatures coexist with humans, currently on his way to school on his bike
Azumi POV
'Life seems peaceful, yet, unfulfilling still' he thought.
(Turns to the Readers)
"Oh hello everyone, it's Hayashi Azumi here. I am currently 18 years old in my senior year that is turning 19 in a few months. I am a mix of Chinese, Japanese, and Filipino with light yellow skin, black hair, and black Asian eyes. I can be what you may call an polyglot for my fluency in English, Mandarin, Fukien, Nihongo, and Tagalog I am an enthusiast and freelance fighter for a small hobby after learning local and foreign martial art styles for the past three years, although I can be what you call a 'Jack of All Trades', which I don't need to detail any further etc. etc. Oh and BTW, I can 'break the 4th Wall' so as to help you understand this story and other stuff that may not be mentioned in this narrative/ story. Anyway, on with the tale Narrator!"
He was close to his school gate, he hears galloping sounds heading his direction and turns to see what.
"What's making tho—" he was cut-off as he was rammed, flew and crashed to the ground as if a car struck him at his side.
"Ughhhh, itta, crud, my ribs, maybe I shouldn't have been working out last Saturday" he groans from the pain.
"Heavens! I'm terribly sorry good sir! Doth thou bear no critical injuries?" says the perpetrator.
'Doth? Thou? What's with this old English accent' he thought as he turns to notice hooves near his side and face, then later notices a horse's tail, its legs and body, but then was estranged to find half of a woman's torso and bosom and long body-length dirty blond hair, and the stranger's face to be a beautiful, prim, proper, and innocent one with glistering peridot-like eyes.
'Nandeste!?' How, what, a female centaur' he thought to know that he can't just flip out on her then slowly gets up.
"Oh no matter, you are forgiven lady, and sorry but I must go now or else ill be damned" he says in English as he hurries to his school after parking his bike, later did he realize that he left a part of himself on the road with that beautiful stranger.
Time skip: after class hours
All the students except our protagonist have vacated the school premises. He was about to head home after doing club work and getting his bike, until he stopped to notice a couple of boys, most likely delinquents from another school, huddling to gang up on someone near an alley. It seemed suspicious enough that our young lad has no choice but to see if he can help that someone, since avoiding it will kill his conscience and morals. He hides half of his face with a plain black scarf then wears thin spandex gloves before pulling out makeshift bo shurikens from sharpened metal chopsticks. Then he climbs on a brick wall to quietly hide on some sort of metal platform to eavesdrop from above. "Oi, Bijin Onee-san, come with us for something to drink", says one delinquent boy. "I'm sorry but I have to find someone at the moment", says the person with a female voice. "Oh we can help you with that afterwards, just come with us", says another delinquent.
Azumi POV
'Okay this is kind of obvious, sorry if it is taking a while, I'll deal with 'em quickly', he slowly climbs out of platform to knock out one guy with a neck chop.
"Wait wha–" before another finishes, he knocked out due to paralysis from a nerve strike to his apex. "Why you little", a much buffer delinquent charges towards the vigilante and tries to grab and pull him with a neck choke, but then felt his grip loosen from his elbow aching. The vigilante then knocks of one of his hind legs then spins sideways to create space before using a classic Judo throw to the ground to sedate him. After that, the rest of their gang left while dragging and carrying their unconscious companions, leaving the bystander and me alone.
"Are you alright mis–", before he finishes, he noticed and now realized that the bystander was the same girl he bumped into back then. "It's you again", he says with a smile, "to warn you further, try not to stay near alleys or narrow roads, some people are not pleasant to mingle with."
"Oh, thank you, for your advice and saving me", says the centaur girl. "No probl–", he feels a rain drop, "Uh oh, come with me, it's gonna pour any second now", he says while extending a hand to her "O-okay" she says while taking his hand.
Time skip: Both of them are now taking shelter and warmth in the Hayashi Residence and finished having dinner…
"Thank you for everything, your charity, and your food, they're so good!" says the girl after eating a warm Tamago-gohan with mixed steamed vegetables in a huge bowl while snuggling in a huge sofa blanket he gave her. "It is nothing, I have been raised to help and care for people by my teacher and parents, it is called benevolence. You're welcome to stay here, but that would mean I would have to be your host to do so", he says with a gentle tone. "Wait, what about your family, your parents and siblings?" asks the girl. "Well, my folks are currently out of the country in either China or Malaysia, and my little brother is not much of problem to me because I make sure that he doesn't. So no worries for me." he says with a smile. 'He's kind, gentle, and generous, I guess I shouldn't judge a book by its cover', she thought to herself until, "oh yeah! I almost forgot!" The woman then hands over an item rolled in cloth with characters meaning "the way of peace" which shocks the man and gives him relief.
"You came here to this school despite not learning how our language works and the risks of getting fooled into many influences, all to return my prized possession. And for that, I am eternally grateful" he says in English as he bows in respect to the woman.
"My apologies for the late introduction. My name is Azumi. Hayashi Azumi. You may call me whichever." He says
The woman then replies back "my name is Cynthia Shianus, and as you can see, I am you may call a centaur."
