ZERO NO TSUKAIMA
KNIGHT OF NO KINGDOM
CHAPTER 1
*DISCLAIMER*
THIS IS A WORK OF FANFICTION, AND AS SUCH ALL THE CONTENT FROM THE ORIGINAL SOURCE MATERIAL BELONG TO NOBORU YAMAGUCHI AS THE AUTHOR OF THIS SERIES AND I OWN NOTHING OF IT.
Just a moment ago I was just walking down the street heading home, everything was normal as is it should be, Pedestrians walking on the sidewalk caring their own businesses, cars and their engines spewing pollutions into the air, and lots of 3 levels building surrounding the street in my town. Just another day in my ol' Chiba!
Then why? Why all of a sudden… everything turns into a blurry mess?
I swear to god above and beyond my eyes were fine just a moment ago, I practiced relaxing my eyes every 20 minutes on the screen (and you should to), and that's not the weirdest part!
After I regain my vision and all the blurriness starts to fade out, the things I saw makes me consider all the weird stuff that I've seen on the streets.
Every single pedestrians on the street changes from what I consider a normal attire in this time and age, into something that came out of a 'fantasy Isekai manga', all the cars and the sound of engine were gone, and all the buildings disappeared replaced with…well… buildings? I mean not just any building, BUT EVERYY BULDING LOOKS LIKE IT CAME OUT STRAIGHT FROM THE HARRY POTTER!?
How…
Why…
Where….
WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!?
.
.
.
10 MINUTES BEFORE WHAT HAPPENED
"Thank you for your purchase!" said the store clerk as I head out into the street after buying my daily supplies of groceries and stuff, I swear to god I can't get enough of this drink, MAX COFFEE!
Not even two steps into the streets, I pop it and start chugging the can filled with the heavenly juice that Max coffee, the sun was shining bright today, the sky's very clear even though to be honest the temperature might be a bit chilly for comfort, I mean can't really blame anyone except dear old mother nature because last night it was snowing pretty hard.
Suddenly my phone rang, it was a message "Hey son, I've just landed some very important business opportunity today, I'm really sorry but I'm not going to be able to come home this month just like I promised, Maybe next month we can go catch up and have a good Christmas and new year together! Take care" Dad.
… What else is new?
I put my phone back in my pocket, I don't even bother on responding back, the answers always going to be the same anyway "This is really important son!" "It's for the best for us!" "We'll catch up after this alright?" tch!
Bullshit…
With heavy hearts, I make my way down the streets, hoping I could go home faster and probably go Online later and see if some of my friends is on… Even though usually they're pretty busy with their family or lovers during the weekend most of the times so…
I'm not going to keep my hopes up, but at least I've got my Max Coffee here with me, and so I drink it to the last drop from the can as it was my last.
BACK TO PRESENT TIME
One blink, second blink, third, fourth.
Nothing change
"WHAT THE F-"
"Regarde où tu vas fous imbéciles" ("Watch where you going you crazy fools!") I bumped into a person behind me, he looked at me weirdly and not just him, everyone around me starts to look at me, from the toes to the top like I'm a clown or something…
And what was that? Was that French?
Oh no
I don't know any French, but I know English so I said "I'm sorry, I-I was… I was just-" but before I could finish he walks away ignoring me and my attempt of apologizing, so much for the lesson to always apologize when you're in the wrong
With him gone, I start looking around again, the people, the buildings, everything is different. I'm pretty sure just a moment ago I was still in Chiba, what happened? Did I just got teleported? INTO ANOTHER WORLD!?
Avoiding all the stares and the whispers among the crowd, I runs away, not wanting any more attention, I run straight forward not knowing where I am or where I'm going for that matter.
While I was running, a horse with a cart strapped to its back appears from the intersection ahead to my shock, I step out of the way just in time just as it past,
Horse with carts? People with old European clothing who happens to speak French?, Building blocks by blocks who happens to feels like an old European town?
There's no such thing in Chiba, and if there's a festival about it there isn't any that I've heard of, especially during this weat- Hold your phone
Weather
The temperature just got warmer, I look around and I saw all the snows are gone, I looked up to the sky only to be greeted with a clear blue sky and the sun shining down the land, but what shock me the most as I kept running, Is at the end of the road as I saw a massive farmland with people tending to the farm, and across the horizon…
Forest, Grassland, Mountains and hills.
Gone were all the beaches and docks That I knew, gone were all the building, gone are all the land I knew as I look towards the horizon of this mysterious land that I got myself into
I fell on my knees "What the hell just I gotten into? Another world? It can't be… maybe I went back to the past? But why Europe and How!? Could it be…*gasp*is it because of Max Coffee!? Was it drugged?" I questioned nobody but myself and everything that surrounds me at that moment.
.
.
.
An hour has passed or was it 2? 3? I couldn't really tell.
One thing for sure though, walking through the town with no direction almost makes me want to split my own head into 2 pieces. I thought about asking for direction, or where I currently am, but everyone is speaking French or… at least that's what I thought.
And I don't speak nor understand French. Do they speak English? Do English even exist? It's not likely they spoke Japanese, oh god what if I have to speak in sign language!?
Oh wait I could google tha-
NO CONNECTION
Duh, Internet doesn't exist, OF COURSE IT DOESN'T EXIST YOU IDIOT!
Hell looking around I'm sure they would be sending message with owl or birds by this point, if that is so, it's confirmed I'm in or near Hogwarts… or French Hogwarts… huh neat.
I wonder if they use baguette as a magic wand
"Hé toi!"(Hey you!)
Huh? Three man appeared from the alleyway around the streets and block where I was going, just from Looking at them I could tell that these three are thugs.
"Je ne t'ai jamais vu ici avant!"(I've never seen you around here before!) The one on my left said smugly as the three of them slowly approach me
Great first I'm lost in an unknown world, and now I'm going to get robbed!
"Uhm… Excuse me I'm just gonna go right there you see, I'm not looking for any trouble" I said pointing to a random direction, Looking around again, I realized I ended up in the quiet and shady part of the town so nobody could be seen besides the four of us.
Way to go me…
"Il est d'Albion, Nous avons un touriste"(He's from Albion, We've got a tourist here!) Said the thug on my right
Then without any warning, the thug on the middle, the biggest of em all, grabbed my collar and start yelling something in front of my face.
I've got no idea what he's saying, but it seems like they're threatening me to hand over my belongings including money and everything that I have. I have cash but… I don't think they're going to like it if I hand them over some papers.
"HEY GET OFF ME!" I shout back "I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING!" I tried to reasons with them
"GET OFF!" They were persistent, his grasp got harder and their voice got louder
"I SAID GET THE FUCK OFF ME!" I tried to fight back, trying to break free from the grasp.
But suddenly, I was on the ground, pain struck my face as I could see my vision getting disoriented, a Fist collided on to my face, hard! Not enough to knock me out but enough to keep me down… goddamn that hurts so much
Just when I thought it was over, another one hit my stomach, it was a kick this time, then another one!
The three of them starts beating and kicking me while I'm on the ground, I tried to cover my head and my face with my both to hands to no avail. My head starts to get light as I could feel myself loosing strength.
Then everything stop…
I lift up my head to see a person, who seems carrying a shield and a sword, couldn't really see his face because he was backing away from me, the three thugs that were beating me were gone from their previous position, even though my eyes is blurry and my head is spinning I could tell they're running away.
The said person who seems to have saved me turn around and start inspecting me for a moment before reaching out to me with his hand
"Est-ce que ça va?"(Are you okay?) he asked, not knowing what to say, I assume he was asking about my condition, not knowing how to respond, I replied back in English, hoping that he would understand.
"T-thanks… Yeah I'm okay… I think…" I said weakly, I hope that's what he said, as I tried to get up and gaining my strength back
He seems surprised for a second before saying
"Are you from Albion?" he said, English ooh thank god
"A-Albion? Is this place called Albion?" I said, Albion what?
looking at this guy, he seems to be around 6'1 with dark brown hair with hazel eyes. Shield on the back, swords on his left hips, wearing chest piece with a star made out of bronze insignia, he's not that old but definitely older than me, probably around his mid 30's
"No you're in Tristania, kingdom of Tristain, how come you not know that? Did they hit you too hard?" haha yeah real funny
"No… well… I mean yeah… Kind of. But that's not the point! I just don't know where I am, I thought about asking people around but I don't speak French, I'm so glad you can speak English" I said, he goes silent for a second again, seems like he's… observing me?
"Yeah! You look alright to me, might leave a bruise or two but nothing that bad, you can still walk I assume, so you're good, so what's your name kid? How old are you?" he asked crossing his arms
"Oh right, the name is Minatsu Kito, you can call me Kito" I said "I just turned 18 last month"
He offer his hand for a shake, I accepted "I'm Kyle Brandon, call me whatever you want except anything that's not my name. So Kito" He said "You're not from around here since you don't know where this is, and you're not from Albion because you don't know where Albion is, so… what are you then? a traveler? A nomadic? Or are you from from a distant land far away from this place?"
Looking down, I realized this is going to be very tricky to answers, Should I just tell the truth?I'm not sure he's going to believe me that I'm from another world or even another time, I'm not even sure where I am! Albion? Tristain? Where the hell is that?
I could always lie and say one of the three option he gave me, Nomadic, Traveler or from a far far away land~
But then again, I don't think there's any point in lying now right?
Right?
"Hey you're spacing out" he knocked me right back into reality, after bonking my head with his hand
"Yeah about that… Look I'm not sure you're gonna believe me If I tell ya, alright? It's very… weird"
"So you're from a weird place?" he said back
"What? No…no it's... it's- AAAAGH Fine!" I give up! "I'mfromaplacecalledjapanspecificallychibaidon'tknowhowigotherebutithappenallofasuddenandthe-"
"ALRIGHT STOP! You're speaking too fast like you're going to get pummeled again! SPEAK S-L-O-W-L-Y SLOWLY! is that clear?" he yelled while looking like he's about to actually pummeled me, I mean yeah fair enough, I do speak to fast even I couldn't really understand what the hell did I just said.
"Yes, yes I'm sorry, Okay So I'm from a place called Japan, specifically in Chiba, I don't know how I got here but It all happen so fast, a moment ago I was just heading back home to my house then a second later I ended up on this place, everything happened so fast, so blurry, the building changes and I don't know… I guess you could say I got teleported into this world." I finished, not knowing what his respond would be like, I look at him, and his expression says something along the line of 'Seriously?'
"Wow… Yup… that's crazy" he said to me plainly with that same expression he had
"*sigh* Look I told you alright? You're not gonna believe me, it's crazy I know…" I respond
Of course he ain't gonna believe me, Should've lie instead, at least that way he won't think I'm a crazy lunatics
"Yeah, But I've seen crazier… so I suppose I could believe you this time" He said
"I know – I know, It's so crazy it's hard to believe an- what did you say?" eh?
"I said I believe you, I've seen some crazy shit in this place so teleporting between world ain't that weird anymore. Besides, I know someone who could help, or at least try to help, you can come with me if you want, and we'll talk to him, that if you want to, so what do you say?" He said
Okay… what the hell?
This man, Kyle, he's the first person who I get talk to and first that I told the truth about all of this situation that I have and he's also the first to believe me!? This is way too convenient, something's fishy and there's no fish nearby.
"You believed me? Just like that!? I mean Yes I'm telling the truth. And also someone who could help me? Who? I'm not sure about this, because this could be a trap you know? You could be just another robber or worse what if you're actually a kidnaper?! does slavery exist in this country?" I rambled, instead of being an uncomfortable expression that he shows, his face looks annoyed after what I said.
"Listen, if you want help, come with me, if you don't then fine by me, Either you're coming or not, I don't give a damn, I'm gonna go now got some business to take care of!" Then he turns away and starts walking.
Alright Kito quick Decision Making
A. Come with him and take the risk of being robbed
B. Stay in the city and test my luck on the streets finding answers, place to sleep, food, drinks, and a way back home without any money, weapons, or knowledge about anything including language, and landscape, which may lead to getting robbed by robbers or muggers and end up dead, and that if you're lucky. If not, death by starvation on the streets, probably become a free buffet for the city rats.
While I was thinking about the 'Quick Decision Making', Kyle already went ahead without my knowledge, so I did what I have to do, take my chances!
"HEY HOLD UP, I'LL COME WITH YOU!" I leap forward knowing that this decision might end me or it could be the first step to go home, whatever it is I'll have to do it… Because I don't have any other option…
.
.
.
A Couple of minutes has passed, I'm currently sitting next to this guy on his cart, I'm not sure what he's doing in the town but looking at the luggage behind us, it seems like he went to town to buy a couple of supplies. There's Fruits, Vegetables, I even saw a whole pig in there. That's gotta be a lot of food for one man
Looking back at him again, he has a sword and a shield, is he knight? A soldier perhaps? what's with the insignia on his chest? is that the flag or symbol of this country? I would have asked, but it's really kind of awkward… to ask him when he seems to have no interest on talking at all.
"…" Silence, we just keep riding through the town, passed by a fountain in the middle of the town, it looks like this is the middle of the city, it's pretty nice and crowded unlike the street where I got jumped by 3 thugs a few minutes ago, but it's totally different from the busyness of Chiba with all the cars and People. It's almost like it's more lively
"…" still silence as we passed the crowd and into the main gate of the town
5 minutes then 10, and then 20 minute passed
Alright that's it, I'm starting a conversation "You don't really talk much do ya?" I asked while also looking at the surrounding area, massive lands with farms and tree as far as the eye could see along with all the hills and mountain on the far horizon.
He look at me for a few second "*Chuckles* I thought you're the one who doesn't want to talk kid!" he respond, surprisingly with a friendly demeanor this time.
"Right… sure buddy, maybe it's me as well, I'm just a bit distracted on how things are happening so fast... this place is so different from where I come from" I said
"Well, you'll get used to it" he said while focusing on the road and his horse
"What's with the crates of ingredients and everything on the back?" I finally asked
"Supplies, for the whole month back at where we going right now" he said looking at me "You might be wondering where we going and what do I do, so I'll just tell you here to save the trouble. I'm a guardsman, you see this insignia right here?" he pointed to the symbol on his chest, it's a stars colored in dark bronze.
"This is the symbol of the Tristain Academy of Magic" magic? Di he just say magic?
"Wait hold on! An Academy for mage? There's magic?! It's real?"
"Hmm? I'll take it you've never seen magic before then huh?"
"Well duh magic isn't real, as far as I know …" my suspicion is confirmed, this is French Hogwarts!
"So… you're a security guards, then why are you fetching some supplies here" as I asked that, his body froze for a moment as he look around then at me
"Well… *sigh* you could say I volunteer to go get some supplies for all my friends" he said a bit uncomfortable that is
Suspicious… very suspicious
"Huh… is that so? What lost a bet?" I knew I was right, he froze up again as he look away "No need to be ashamed of that, I know how it feels…" I said, Trust me I know how it feels to lost a bet and be the one who needs to wait on the line in the cafeteria
He only replies my statement with a chuckle.
As We move along the road, passing by all the farmlands and the trees, it got me wondering, if magic exist, then does that mean magic is the one who got me here? If that's so… then who? And why…
"Hey kid, you're worried about not coming back home are you?" Kyle said, it seems like he knows what I was thinking, my face must have showed it all
"…Yeah, sort of" I said, no point in denying
What he said next to me caught me by surprise to say the least.
"Why?" He asked
What?
What does he mean by why?
"Why do you wanna go back?" He said once again that, I looked at him
"What do you mean why?! Because I don't belong here! I was suppose to be back in Chiba heading home after I went to the convenience store, I was suppose to be at my house and enjoy my weekend, I was suppose to be at HOME!" I talked a little louder this time with a slight upset tone
"... You Got a family?" he asked calmly despite my tone
Family… yeah of course family
"Just my dad" I said with a bit of venom
It's just me and my dad, and he was never home… even when did come back he wouldn't last a day or two
"You want to go back to your dad?" said Kyle
"…Not really" He wouldn't be there anyway when I get back… if I get back
"…then why?" is all that Kyle said
"I'm… I'm not sure to be honest why I want to go back, but that doesn't mean I want to be here as well" That's all I could say, after that the conversation cease, we both just sat in silence as we ride goes, heading to somewhere Kyle called as Tristain Academy of Magic.
Damn it I just realized I lost my groceries that I had, god damn thugs, my nose still stings.
.
.
.
"Hey" eh who's calling me? Who's that?
"Hey Kito wake up we're here!" I opened my eyes from my brief slumber, I didn't realize I fell asleep. Looking at the sky above us I saw the sun is about to set down the horizon, it got darker, and here I am...
For a moment I thought it was just a dream… all of this
"Hey it's me open up!" Kyle shouted, I could see one guard approaching us after he opened the gate
"Well about time you show up, must've been fun being an errand boy!" said the guard, he's wearing the same uniform like the one Kyle wear, minus the helmet, Kyle seems to strapped in on to his hips.
"Shut your trap, I'm bringing all the stuff you need to chow on for the next 2 month, least you could do is be grateful or just shut your mouth" Respond Kyle, seems like the two know each other, well I mean of course they're co workers
"Haha but no man I mean it, I would rather be an errand boy than standing here on the gate for hours waiting for the likes of you! Hold on who's the kid?" Said the guard, they're both speaking in English surprisingly
I was about to respond when Kyle intervene "Found him almost got beated up in Tristania, He needs to talk captain, so I bring him here"
Well technically I did got beated up but oh well... thanks I guess
"Huh really?, Alright then, get in! Vasko should be waiting inside" he signaled us to go inside and so we did
The place is huge, there's a huge courtyard with green grass. Correction, there's multiple courtyard, walls surrounding the entire area and a huge tower in the middle. I've never seen a building with this kind of structure my whole entire life.
"Holy shit…" I let out without knowledge
"Hey careful, you don't want people here hearing you calling their place a 'holy shit'" He warned me, seeing as a couple of maid already starts looking at me weird after what I said
"Right sorry my bad"
"Forget it, get off now, help me unload the cart" he hopped off and so did I, we both head back to the back side of the cart and start unloading the content, from boxes of vegetables, spices, meat, I even saw a couple of plates and other stuff.
By the time we are all almost done unloading the cart content, Kyle took the horse back to the stable while I help carried some of the heavy stuff inside a building where Kyle told me to drop it off
Carrying what seems to be a bag of potatoes along with some of the academy staff carrying the other stuff, I head on inside following right behind them into one of the room, only to be greeted with the smell of burning firewood and meal getting prepped up and cooked. I could see people who I assume are the staff of this academy who's in charge of cooking meals are doing their job.
While looking at the Kitchen surrounding, Someone shouted at me "Hey boy, drop those potatoes right over there will ya? Thanks!" said one man, seems to be the one who's in charge around here. So I did that and left to go back to the cart when all of a sudden
"Kyaaaaah!"
"Gaaaah!"
I ran into someone while I was about to head out from the door, oh shit I should've pay more attention to where I'm going…
Apparently I bumped with one of the maid, she seems to be carrying some waters on her, thankfully it's not a hot water or anything so nothing that bad, but I'm still guilty here
"Oh god I'm so sorry! Are you okay!?" I kneel down, checking if she was okay
"Ouch… Yes I'm okay… S-sorry it was my fault I didn't saw you coming out through the door, I'm so sorry!" She said. Still drench in water, her dark hair and her dark blueish eyes looking at me like she was the one who were at fault. Girl I'm the one who crash into you!
"Hey is everything okay back there!?" our crash cause a bit of commotion and some of the staff turn their attention at us
"Y-yes everything is okay! Sorry I'll get back to work" She said
"Hey h-hold on! I'm the one who crash into you, I wasn't paying attention and you were just doing your job. Besides you're soaking wet, you have to change before going back to work" I said
"Ah yes… but it should be no problem, it was partly my fault as well, I should be more careful" she said back, now she's just trying not to make me look bad, which only make me really look bad.
"At least tell me if there's anything I could do" I offered, even though I'm not sure if I could do anything
And yet she refused it after she got up "No it's totally fine sir, you don't have to, I'll have to get back to work, it's almost dinner time and we have to prepared a lot of foods for all the students and teachers, now if you'll excuse me I'll have to go, So sorry about this and have a good day" and with that she left, going back to her work, leaving me standing here.
Great the first girl that talk to in this world, and I bumped into and got her wet
… THAT SOUNDS SO WRONG, SCRATCH THAT!
With all that, I went to back to the cart or where it was supposed to be, I guess they already moved it elsewhere, Kyle was there talking to someone.
"Kyle, I got the potatoes inside the uuh… kitchen. Yeah, so now what?" I asked
"Alright that should be all for now, listen I want you to stay here while I have to go meet someone, don't go anywhere, I'll get you after I'm done and we'll go talk to the captain, later"
"Wait hold on!" and he left, leaving me alone once again… Great, now what?
.
.
.
The sky has gone dark and the lights or torches are now on all across the academy, most students are already inside their own bed chambers after they had dinner, some of the staff are still working and some are currently enjoying their dinner.
As for me? I'm just here waiting for Kyle from his said 'talk to someone', Looking at my phone only to see the 'NO CONNECTION' on the top left corner of the screen, thankfully my battery is still 89 percent, Should be good for a while even though I'm not sure how can I use my phone without connection... also without electricity or charging port, my phone days are numbered, so I did what I have to do, Turn it off.
And also speaking about Kyle… IT'S BEEN AN HOUR SINCE HE LEFT AND HE HASN'T COME BACK YET!
Where is this person he's talking to? In another town!?
"Tch, this is getting old" Should I just walk around and see if he's around somewhere? Most people are in the dining room right now so it should be fine if I wonder just a bit right?
Walking from one courtyard to another, I haven't see him, just a couple maids and staff, some of them looking at me weirdly but that is to be expected at this point.
I'm a 5'9(175cm) tall man with a dark brown hair wearing a white shirt under my Grey sweater and my dark green Bomber jacket, I'm also wearing a brown cargo pants with white and black sneakers. This kind of outfit might look a bit strange.
Eventually I ended up in one of the courtyard that I assume is the west part of the academy. Over the side near the wall, there's a couple of dummy targets that I assume is part of the students practice lessons. They practice shooting magic perhaps? I could see some scorch marks on those dummy.
It's a cloudy night as well, that explains the cold temperature, and luckily I came prepared for the cold weather since japan is having a cold month.
*Sneeeze*
Huh? whoever that is, That wasn't me.
I look to my left, in the distance there's someone squatting near the hallway, it's one of the maid from the academy and it looks like she didn't come prepared for the cold unlike me. Hold on a second
That's the same Maid that I met or should I say 'bumped into' earlier, she's still working, washing laundry in this kind of weather.
Walking closer, I recognized she hasn't changed, her clothes still soaking wet from the incident earlier. That's probably why she sneezed, it's really cold out here if you're not wearing an outer coat or something.
"Hey, didn't I told you to change?" I told her
She looked at my direction like a fox getting caught stealing "Eeh? I'm sor- wait it's you!"
"Who?" I said acting oblivious
"Eeh? Wait could I be wrong?" heh still works like a charm, she looks totally confused right now
"No you're not, I'm the one who crash into you earlier, didn't I told you to change? What are you doing out here in the cold doing laundry?" I asked
"Oh right, I didn't have time since it got pretty busy during this hours, I thought it won't be much of a problem."
"With a cold weather like this, you won't be able to work tomorrow if you catch a cold" I warned her
"Yes you're right…"
"Sorry for that by the way" I apologized again.
"Eh? No it's fine, it's part of the job anyway, I'm almost done with this anyway so I'll get change after this" she said as she got up and put a piece of cloth into one of the bucket next to her
"I'm Siesta by the way, It's nice to meet you" she finally introduced herself, looking at her again this time, she looks a lot different than most people around here, dark hair, darkish blue eyes, and an average height for a woman, she looks like an asian, like me.
"Likewise, I'm Minatsu Kito, you call me Kito"
"Ki-to? That's strange…"
Oh great, my name is apparently strange… couldn't really blame her or anyone to be honest
"Oh well thanks... for that! I'm… not from around here, that's probably why" I said awkwardly scratching my head
"Oh I didn't mean anything mean by that, it's just I've heard a name like that before…" she said much to my shock causing my eyes to widen.
Another name like mine? Wait a minute does she mean…
"…There's another guy, I met him 2 days ago, his name sounds almost the same as you…"
"What do you mean!? You met another guy like me?" I said a bit louder this time
"Ehh… I mean yeah, he said his name is Saito Hiraga, he almost looks the same as you, and with the same kind of clothing, do you know each other?" she said
No, but that's definitely a Japanese name, so apparently I'm not the only one
"No… I don't know him, I just got here today, where is he by the way?" I said to her hoping I could meet him
"Unfortunately he's out cold at the moment, he hasn't wake up since two days ago after a duel with one of the nobles. I would tell you where he rest right now but I shouldn't, he's a familiar of one of the student and I couldn't tell you without a permission" she explained
Saito Hiraga huh? Never heard of him before, but at least now I know his name and he's here.
"I see, that's fine thanks, sorry for scaring you It's just I haven't meet someone from my hometown in… a while." I said, it's a half truth, I wasn't expecting there's another person, especially from japan that ended up here as well.
"You're very welcome, say are you a new around here? You were helping carrying supplies for the kitchen this evening right?" she asked this time
Ah shit what am I supposed to say now?
"Well… I'm…"
"HEY KID!" Oh great there he is
"Where the hell have you been!? I've been looking around, didn't I tell you not to wander around and stay put?" said Kyle approaching the both of us
"Well you didn't tell me you'll be going for hours!" I said back
"Ah Mister Brandon" Said Siesta
"Evening Siesta, sorry for bothering you, I was looking for him, he came here with me from the town, he said he has a business with my captain" Kyle Explained to her
"Oh I see, well then I'm sorry for bothering." She apologized
"No need, if you'll excuse us, Kito come on!" Kyle said waving for me to come with him as he walks away, and so I did as well after saying my goodbye to Siesta.
"Sigh… I'm sorry, I was talking to someone, it took a lot longer than I expected" he said walking ahead of me
"You could've told me, at least that way I know it'll be hours before you came back"
"Yeah, and I left you for an hour and you're already flirting with one of the maid. Wow I really need to keep an eye on you from now"
"It's nothing like that… I was just saying hi, we met earlier but… under an accident, bumped on to her while I was helping carrying the bags into the kitchen." I explained to him
"Sure – sure, anyway my captain wish to speak with you, so follow my lead" he said
Raising my eyebrows from what he said "Why? What does he have to do with my situation?" I said
"He'll explain it to you better than me, come on!"
And with that, we left the courtyard, while following him, I Look back at the sky, the cloud has faded away and over the sky, two bright moon shining down the land, a reddish light and a blue moon.
I really am in another world.
Hello Fellas, Thanks for reading this!
It's been a really long time since I last write, I'm always actively reading other people stories but never had the push to actually starts writing one, until now that is. This is an Idea of an old story of mine, 'Zero no Tsukaima : The Forgotten Hero' and 'The Forgotten hero' both are the same story technically but the later are a rewrite of the previous one. So you could say this is a Rewrite of a Rewrite.
Zero no Tsukaima is always going to be one of my most beloved anime series, it's one of the first non common anime (such as Naruto, One piece, etc.) that I've watch after Toradora. And looking back it now, there' s a lot of Isekai stories now huh? I'm always intrigue with a story of a character going to another world, so that's why I wrote this down. Unfortunately most Isekai stories out here, including 'Zero no Tsukaima'. Once you watch it carefully, it seems have this, casual... almost dreamy premise, followed by ecchi stuff and harem. It's not my kind of thing, and that's why in this story I'm gonna try to avoid all of those. Don't get me wrong, I still love the series, but now, years after it's released and after I've watch it, it's not my cup of tea.
Rest in Peace Noburo Yamaguchi.
If you've read my previous take on this story, you probably sees a couple of differences, yes I wrote this one from the point of view of the Main Characters that I've created, this way we'll see his adventure through his eyes and hopefully created an amazing adventure and tell a different story from a different point of view on the world of Halkeginia.
If you like this, please leave a review, any constructive criticism is very much appreciated, and if you put it as one of your favorite, You'll make me a happy man!
STAY SAFE AND STAY HEALTHY
HAVE FUN READINGS!
