Chapter 2

What the…?

Will ended up waking up in the middle of a forest when he said, "Note to self, next time you see a weird little girl, DON'T let curiosity get to you. Not that I'm saying your weird or any…" that's when he noticed that Anne wasn't with him so he started to wander the forest looking for her as he yelled "Anne, ANNE! WHERE ARE YOU ANNE!?"

His search ended up leading him to a nearby river which gave him time to think, "Okay time to go over what happened, I was kicked out of Yuki's place by her father out of a misinterpretation. I walked home; in the process I ran into some old lady acting like a fortune teller who said my fate will involve some other worldly adventure, then I spotted Anne when I was about three blocks from my apartment in an alleyway, I walked up to her to ask what was going on, and then she panicked and ran towards a dead end in the alleyway. From there I was able to calm her down enough to tell me how she got separated from her sister, she started crying uncontrollably so out of my weakness I promised to help find her sister. There was a blinding light, I was knocked out cold, and I woke up to find myself no where near Shibuya. Just how can this day get any worse?"

The only regret he had in the moment was saying that line when he saw his reflection in the water and screamed, "WHAT THE FUCK!" His eyes changed from bluish green to crimson red and his hair went from light brown to pure silver.

Will's POV

The first words to pour out of my mouth from that was, "This is unbelievable. First I ended up in the middle of nowhere and now I look like something out of a manga or some last minute fan fiction" I tried to calm down after that thinking what would my first step be. Naturally the first step would be to find a nearby town or at least a road to walk along so I did just that which caused me to meet what first appears to be a little girl who looked completely different from Anne. The girl wore a pink puffy dress with blue stripes, a white bra to cover where the dress ends on her chest (which didn't seem to cover anything more than a flat chest), she was just about half my size, but the shocking part was that she also wore a large plate gauntlet on her right arm with plate boots while carrying a giant crimson ax along with a bag full of weapons. So out of curiosity and concern I walked up to the girl and asked her, "Excuse me, why is a little girl like you hauling all these dangerous weapons around?" She answered me with two things; the first was a hit to the head with the blunt side of the ax while the other was her yelling, "BAKA, I'm not a little girl and I'll have you know these weapons are Dwarven made weapons of the highest quality and not to be confused with some cheap iron shit you'll find at a local smith or with Cattelaya" still recovering from that hit to the head I answered, "You still act like one. Wait…did you say Dwarven made? No wonder I mistaking you for a little girl, you're a Dwarf but I didn't expect a Dwarven woman would have a body that no one could tell the front from the back to…" she decided to hit me in the head again when I mentioned her flat chest before she said "Yes I'm a Dwarf, besides I'm still in my seventies so don't expect to have a bit of a bust for a few more decades. And mind if I ask who you are baka, it's obvious you're not from around here and your cloths don't seem to be from any country I've heard about".

While she asked me that I started thinking, "Her seventies, she might as well be an old hag by human standards if I'm still considered human after that trip, still I should keep my mouth shut about this or else she might skip beating me up and go straight for decapitation. Now I just have to give her a good story so I can find Anne…And I just got a brilliant one lined up"

From there I told her my little cover story about how I got separated from my little sister, Anne, when a group of bandits attacked my family's farm before we escaped and that now I turned around since I've never known the world outside of the farm. Thinking that it would convince her she said, "THAT'S THE BIGGEST LOAD OF CRAP I'VE EVER HEARD IN MY LIFE! MY SALE PITCHES ARE MORE CONVINCING THEN THAT!" with that instead of hitting me in the head she used her gauntlet hand to punch me right in the balls. She demanded that I tell her the truth while I lied on the ground recovering from what she did to my nuts saying that she would do something worse if I lied again. Worrying that she might do more than punch me in the manhood next time, I told her everything even if she thought I was crazy when I told her. She simply responded by saying, "So, you're from another world. Don't worry about it, such things happen more often then you think, but it seems you were somehow transformed as a side-effect and that's actually a first. Still your eyes and hair can easily be overlooked but your ears are another story". Since I was left confused by what she told me I asked, "My ears?" She simply explained, "Check for yourself baka".

So I checked and apparently Flatty-Flat Chest was right; my ears were pointed and the fact that I didn't notice till now is just plain stupid. She continued to explain, "Those combined with that pale skin of yours makes you look like a majin; a human-demon half-breed which aren't exactly accepted into human society but your eyes can be enough to trick some other baka into thinking your just an albino elf if they can't tell the difference between white and silver hair. I have some gear that you can change into to help you blend in, but it will cost you". The fact that she was charging me for a new casual outfit was too much so I decided to state the obvious, I'M AS BROKE AS SHIT!

She started to laugh as she told me, "I know, which is why you'll be doing odd jobs for me to pay off what you owe and the first job will be to act as my bodyguard on the way to Gainos, the Queen's capital. Just to let you know I'm Ymir, The Steel Princess and as of now your boss, you understand baka". I was furious at the idea of being bossed around by some flat chested, stuck up, greedy excuse for a dwarf but I needed the gear to keep from being lynched or worse so I answered, "Fine; but first of all my name isn't baka its Will, second don't expect me to call you anything more than Ymir-san (because I get the weird feeling you might make me call you senpai one of these days), third try not to hit me as often since I rather like it if I can keep my brain intact and not rattling around in my skull, and finally whenever I am not doing any odd jobs for you, it will be spent on either learning about this world or trying find some info on where Anne is. Deal".

Will's POV Ends

She agreed to the terms and they began their journey to Gainos. The problem was that it was not going to be as simple as he thought with who he meets on the road.


Hollow: Well that begins a new journey

Ymir: Hey Hollow why don't come and buy a wonderful Dwaven made sword, I'll even throw in an author's discount

Hollow: Thanks but no thanks Ymir, things like swords aren't in demand in my world like they used to for weapons

Ymir: Than tell me what

Hollow: No

Ymir: TELL ME!

Hollow: Will please get your boss to calm down (Her childish fits are gonna be the death of me)

Will: I'll try

Hollow: Hope you all enjoy this chapter of Where's Anne? please leave your thoughts or reviews for me to look at and hope to see you next time
