A/N: once again FFN dose not like strike though so some thing may be weird
Okay I have to say this so to the guest account that has been going as the name Newreader I implore you to make an account so I could easily answer your reviews/ just talk about them beside that enjoy the story

It was early morning when Itsuki awoke his biological clock still used to waking him up so he could walk to his prep school but now instead of awakening to do the mundane task of school it now could be used so he could begin grinding earlier swiftly he began to dress himself in his starting gear after he was dressed he left his room then walked into the dinner part of the Inn there was a sparse amount of people most likely since it was so early deciding he should eat something then awake his NPC party members after getting his food he sat but while ate he thought about his amazing situation

He was so happy that he was now inside his favorite video game as the main character but there was some negatives to being inside his favorite game one of the most apparent was his lack of esper ability but that was something that he already beat as the dead Usapil could prove that Itsuki also started to see it instead of a negative as positive as without his esper power he would grow stronger on his own merit and could prove to everyone that he was stronger then they thought so strong that he didn't even need his esper ability another negative he noted was his body was surprisingly not well feed as this body's ribs were really apparent like if he wanted to he could remove his shirt he would see his ribs hell he could even poke at them which felt weird he wasn't for why that would be something he didn't know as the main character was a more well built character so that was strange there was some other things but Itsuki had finished his breakfast so he dropped some coins onto the table and then left to go awake his party members

It was dark out when Itsuki decided to return his fingers were numb after constantly shooting arrows around than ¾ of those shots missed but he did manage to level quite good probably enough that he can try to deliver justice to any corrupt nobles that he could find so he could, in the end, receive more praise for his good deeds but as he got close to the city Itsuki could hear the sound of multiple footsteps and soon the owner of said footsteps showed themselves it was a small group of knights about 3 in total

"Lord Bow Hero The King has summoned the heroes to return to the castle" The knight NPC at the front of the group stood stiff and gave out his orders

Itsuki nodded and followed the group he didn't question them though there was a lingering thought in his head

'Even though it has only been a day I wonder how the others have been doing I wonder if Naofumi is doing well'

Ren was returning to the Inn where he left his NPC's entering he found them where he left them quickly he gave them orders to follow them then promptly he turned around hoping that they wouldn't get stuck on any terrain while he walked to exit the city but while he was walking he once again he began thinking about the anomaly known as Naofumi Iwatani

'what are they doing right now?' he wondered as he tried to think of what a newbie would be doing in their current situation

'Well it depends on if their situation was caused by hacking, glitch or the possibility that-' he shook his head as once again denied that possibility it made no sense well it kind of did but no just no

'So if they were hacking how far are they hacking? What is everything that they could control? Is it only them or can they affect other players? If they can affect other players I might need to do something about that I can't allow them to ruin everyone else's fun' Ren thought rather darkly

'If it was a glitch that caused it, after all, I was also affected by it or I would assume so how did it begin?' Ren tried to think of anything that could cause the glitch as he left the city and began to kill random mobs he couldn't find a reason for the glitch added onto his hacker or his last possibility

'Should I try to even try to go into my other theory?' Ren thought before he nodded to himself as he sliced another mob into Piceces

'If it could be a way to uncover the mystery then I must' he thought

It was starting to become night when Ren decided to return after grinding; he was walking to the castle though his thoughts were still muddled by the anomaly of Naofumi Even after he searched though the evidence he had. his third possibility was one that was also was viable there was a few holes but so did his other theories he just didn't have enough evidence for really any of them so Ren was split 3 ways but before he could think harder he heard loud footsteps coming from the city's gate getting out of his thought he saw the origin of the noise it was a small group of knights about 6 large they then stood before him but as they stood there before him Ren had weird thoughts come to him

'Far left in the back need to stand straighter, the middle back needs to stand still' many different types of these thoughts came forth as he picked and prodded apart the positioning of everyone he still heard and understood what the main knight spoke of and followed him the group of knights split apart 3 staying at the gate while the other 3 went with him he once again felt that he should feel something that he somehow unnaturally knew the proper positioning of the group of knights but he didn't

Naofumi was dead inside after the crazed woman fixed up his this body's hair which Naofumi would deny to anyone that asked felt kind of nice. thankfully the hair brushing didn't seem to activate any memories or affect his personality as he briefly thought it would when the crazed woman began to brush his this body's hair but after the rather nice grooming the crazed woman then forced him to let her take many different measurements and then forced him to stay as she made the outfits and every time she made one she forced him to put it on which slowly made him start to lose his feeling embarrassment of looking at his this body he had experienced many different types of outfits as stayed in this torture chamber but finally after what felt like an eternity later she finished with her torture and gave him what he came here for which was something to protect his this body's legs from the cold it was a simple pair of shorts that reached his this body's knees they didn't impede movement Naofumi wished he could of gotten a pair of pants but he understood that they could of impede his movements but still so now with about 4 different bags full of dresses and the like 2 bags in each hand, his egg was still being held in both hands but it was a bit more difficult to hold, his this body's hair groomed and now wearing his shorts he could finally leave as he walked out of the tailor shop saw that it already quite dark out so somewhat upset he walked back he did little to nothing today but while he was walking back to his Inn he heard a voice behind him

"Ah! I found you Sir Shield hero!" the voice yelled out Naofumi turned around to see the owner of the voice only to see a young man in knight armor that l looked the most average you could ever be the young man in Naofumi's opinion seemed to be around 15 or 16 had brown hair, brown eyes, and a youthful almost innocent face

While Naofumi observed him the young man ran towards him before promptly arriving

"Lord Shield Hero I found you it was hard but I found you the head knight didn't really give me many details so it was difficult but I found you" The young man rambled

Naofumi deciding now would be a point he should intervene he took it

"And what exactly do you want?" he asked the young knight with a raised eyebrow

"Oh! Right sorry Sir Shield hero The King ordered me and 9 other knights to find the heroes and bring them back to the castle the commander spilt us in 3 groups 3 with him to find the Spear hero 6 with the second in command and 3rd to find The Sword and Bow and then me to find you though it was difficult since neither The King nor the commander gave us a description of you only said you should be able to find them by the shield and I did" the young man said quite rapidly and with an almost excited tone that he could find Naofumi

Naofumi instantly rejected the idea of going with him outright as Naofumi didn't want to deal with the noise of those nobles and then there was also the fact that Motoyasu was going to be there made him sure he didn't want to go

"Sorry but no" Naofumi said to to the young man

"Um Sir Shield hero I don't think you can reject it is an order from The King"

The Young man said with a face full of surprise

"Sorry but no I am not going," Naofumi said once again and began to turn around counting his path to The Inn

"S-Sir Shield hero?" the young man stuttered in disbelief

"Sir Shield hero, I think you need to come. I am not sure what the king wants but it is sure to be important P-Please Sir Shield?" the young man said while following Naofumi

Naofumi was feeling bad for the kid but he really didn't want to deal with Motoyasu

"How long should it take?" he asked with a sigh

The young man's smile returned

"Uh I don't think too long I don't think would want to make the heroes stay up too late"

Naofumi stopped and let out a huff

"Okay let me put this up," He said showing his bags

The young man's smile grew even larger

"Alright then let's go," The young man said following Naofumi to the Inn

When Naofumi entered the Thorne room he gave a look around the room finding Ren and Itsuki standing there with their party but… where is Motoyasu? He once again gave it a once over but he couldn't find Motoyasu.
