Little Garden
"Did the summoning went well, Kuro Usagi?"
"It seems so, Jin-bouchan"
Two people stood outside in the workshop of Little Garden.
One of them had rabbit ears, and wear a suggestive clothes completely pleasing to the eyes with a short skirt that almost showed her panties with a garter stocking that complimented her long and beautiful legs.
The other was a small boy about 10 years old wearing a robe that was brown in colour. It almost looked like a rag around his body.
"Well, we will have to wait and see how things will go. Nothing good comes from being pessimistic. We just have to emphasize how fun this place looks on the surface. It would be easiest to confess on the first meeting that "Our Community is on the brink of total destruction!" but that will only cause them to be wary about joining us," explained Kuro Usagi flinging her arms about in the process.
The boy listened, with quickly changing facial expressions, but in the end he nodded in approval.
"Sorry to leave everything to you, but can I ask you to pick them up?"
"Leave it to me!"
Kuro Usagi suddenly jumped out of the chair.
When she touched the workshop's door, the young boy spoke to her with concern in his voice.
"Will their arrival...save our community...I wonder?"
"Who knows...but the Host promised one thing," she said while quickly turning to face him again, sending her skirt aflutter as she smiled at him mischievously,
"The Gifts they possess are of the highest class in humanity!"
Kuro Usagi cheerfully replied.
Kuro Usagi wondered how things got to such a point.
She was apparently bound and tied up, limiting her mobility. It didn't helped that the chains used to bind her was quite durable then before.
"Now, explain."
A gruffed deep voice ordered her.
'Wahh! So scary-!'
The man standing in front of her could strike fear in even the most veteran of warriors and villians alike. With standing at 6'1, he had a muscular build fit for an athlete and a rather youthful face in his late teens or early twenties. However, the sheer amount of killing intention he was sending towards her was not something people his age could do even if they were trained warriors.
And...he was naked. With no pants on his legs.
Poor Kuro Usagi was about to faint.
Five minutes ago
Kuro Usagi heard the new arrivals in the air. While she could not see properly in the forest, her ears were capable of hearing the people that had arrived in this world.
"Kya!"
"Wa!"
'I need to arrive there as fast as I can, otherwise the new members who are suppose to join our community may really get angry with us!'
Kuro Usagi thought about the sheer amount of problems that would occur if the new arrivals knew about the current state of her community. Her community was destroyed by the greatest disaster known in the world of Little Garden. The [Demon Lords]. It is also the reason why she requires the help of people that will arrive in this world to take back the [Name] and [Flag] of her community.
"Rho Aias!"
"Huh?"
Kuro Usagi paused at the words and nearly stumbled in her path.
'Rho Aias, the shield of Ajax the great?!"
As she wondered what did the voice meant, she heard the loud splash in the distance.
Kuro Usagi winched a bit. She could hear the splash from where she was.
'Hhhhhhuahhhh-, I hope they will not mad about this.'
As she arrived near where the new member of her community had arrived, she quickly hid behind the bushes to hide her presence from the humans of the outside world.
Falling from 4000m in the air, the new arrivals passed through multiple thin membranes of water that were prepared above the landing point, then fell into a small lake.
They landed in the water with a loud splash. As the water membraes slowed their fall enough, the three of them landed safely, but the calico cat that fell with them didn't have it that easy. One of the people embraced the cat and pulled him to the surface in a hurry.
She had a petite figure and a brown hair that was kept back with a clip, she wore an open white and blue jacket that is ankle length, and splits into two ends past her thighs. She also had a white blouse underneath and a pair of orange pumpkin shorts, as well as black knee-high socks and tall brown boots.
"...Are you alright?"
"Meow, Mew, bahh"
The cat couldn't speak properly yet, but the girl who carried the cat was relieved he was all right.
In the meantime the other two quickly reached the shore while spouting curses all over.
"I-I cannot believe it! To think they would pull me out without saying a word and on top of that, drop me from the sky!"
A girl wearing a white shirt and a blouse exclaimed angrily. She was a fair-skinned young girl of average height with long black hair that she keeps tied back with two red bows, and bright blue eyes.
"Same here, dammit! Depending on the situation, it could have been Game Over on the spot. It would have been better if they summoned us inside a rock or something at least."
The last person of the group, a blonde boy with a head phone with a flame emblem cockily said. He wore a dark blue gakuran and had one button on with a yellow undershirt beneath.
"...But if they did that then you wouldn't be able to move, could you?"
"No problem for me."
"I see. Quite selfish of you."
The two of them turned their back on each other with a huff, and started wringing the water out of their clothes. Behind them, the girl with the calico cat climbed out of the lake to the shore. Following the other's example, she started squeezing the water out of her clothes. Next to her, the calico cat shook his whole body spraying water everywhere.
While drying her clothes she asked,
"Where... could this be?"
"No idea. Well, there was something that looked like the end of the world, so maybe we're on the back of some huge turtle?"
"I see."
Answered the boy to the girl with calico cat's question.
One thing was for sure, it was a place they knew nothing of. After the boy deemed his clothes dry enough, he brushed a stubborn lock of hair aside and asked,
"There is probably no mistake, but just to make sure, I'll ask you anyway. Did you guys also get a strange letter?"
"That is right, but first of all, do not address me that way. My name is Kudou Asuka. Pay attention to that from now on. Moving on; you there holding that cat, your name is?"
"Kasukabe Yō. Same situation as you."
The girl with the calico cat muttered as if thinking about something. She felt like she was forgetting something.
"I see. Let us get along from now on, Kasukabe-san. Finally, you with the uncivilized and savage looking appearance over there?"
"Wow, thanks for that pompous self introduction. I'm - just as the appearance suggests - uncivilized and savage, Sakamaki Izayoi. Vulgar, brutal, and hedonistic; all that I need to be a hopeless person, so please follow the Rules of Use and Dosage Guidelines when interacting with me, Ojou-sama."
"I see. If you give me Handling Instructions I will think about it, Izayoi-kun."
"Haha, are you serious? I will make one, so be prepared for it, Ojou-sama."
Sakamaki Izayoi laughing cheerfully.
Kudou Asuka turning away haughtily.
Kasukabe Yō was still thinking about something.
Watching them from the shadows Kuro Usagi was thinking.
'Uwaa, all of them seem like problem children! I certainly don't think the four of them can-'
Then she realised.
'Wait, why are there only three of them?'
She looked at the lake where the problem children had fallen.
In a place bit further from the centre of the lake, a red spot was visible in the lake to her. It something that the average person's eyes could not see in a single glance but it was still visible nevertheless if someone looked closely.
Her stomach churned. Her heart skipped a beat when she reached a horrifying revelation.
'Noooo-! One of the new arrivals in this world died! What have I done?! I didn't even get to see what they even looked like! How am I going to explain this to Jin-bouchan!'
Kuro Usagi started to have a mental breakdown in the bushes completely forgetting that the three other individuals that arrived in this world were fine without a srcatch in their body.
While on the other hand, Izayoi started getting irritated.
"So, It's all dandy that we got summoned, but why isn't there anyone around? In this situation shouldn't there be someone explaining about that 'Little Garden' that was written in that invitation?"
Izayoi said completely oblivious to Kuro Usagi's mental breakdown.
"Indeed. Without any explanation, there is not much meaning to leaving this place."
Asuka agreed with him, in a very ojou-like manner. She too was completely oblivious to Kuro Usagi's mental breakdown.
"...I doubt that being overly calm in this situation is for the best either."
'Exactly! Kuro Usagi does not know that the one of the new arrivals is dead. There maybe a chance that the person is maybe still alive!'
Kuro Usagi tried to convince herself for she too was oblivious to her mental breakdown at possibly killing someone.
Amongst the people in the surface only one had realised it in admist of the situation.
"Ah-!, That's right!"
Yo immediately stood up as if she had an epiphany. The two others stared at her.
"There was a flash of pink in the sky!"
"Huh?"
All three of them including Kuro Usagi in the bushes looked puzzled. Her mental breakdown forgotten for now.
'Wait, pink? What does that mean?'
Kuro Usagi thought for a moment as hope bloomed in her heart. The people summoned to this world were considered to have the highest class of [Gifts] in humanity. So it could be possible for the person she thought to be dead was alive.
Izayoi frowned and decided to ask Yo about what she meant.
"Oi, Calico cat girl what do you mean by flash of pink? Do you had some hallucination of a naked man with flowers-"
A loud splash was heard. Someone had landed on the ground.
""""What?""""
Sakamaki Izayoi stopped talking midway.
Kudou Asuka lost her haughty composer.
Kasukabe Yo remembered what she had seen.
Kuro Usagi froze where she was hiding.
Because a tall naked man with tan skin about 6'1 jumped from the lake to the shore and got to the ground safely in a single leap and muttered a rather scandalous sentence.
"I am the bone of my sword"
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
There was moment of silence amongst them as the man stared at each of the problem children.
Then, he looked at bushes where Kuro Usagi was hiding.
Kuro Usagi felt like a deer caught in the highlightes as his hawk like eyes saw through her hiding spot.
He ran towards her with an impressive speed that caught the people around the man off guard.
Fight and flight instinct immediately activated in Kuro Usagi and she almost ran away from where she was hiding. She quickly tried to fire her vajra at him but in her haste, she couldn't react in time.
However the same was not for the man.
"Trace on!"
Chains bound her and restricted movement for her.
The chains were also quiet durable enough to prevent Kuro Usagi from running away as the man started to close the distance between them.
"Wah!-"
Kuro Usagi screamed at the naked man running towards her. He looked so furious and angry. Kuro Usagi who was worried for killing the man experienced a feeling she never experienced before in her life while looking at her approching doom. The fact that he was naked did not help her current state of mind.
"You stop, right there!-"
The man stopped as if he was being bound by something, this was the ability of one of the problem children, a [Gift] of [Obidience] that forced command on people that they have to follow. The ability of Kudou Asuka befitting her status and her attitude as a high class lady.
Then he broke out of it in an instant and looked at the one who stopped him.
Kudou Asuka felt a different kind of fear in that moment looking at the naked man in his full glory starting at her intensely.
He opened his mouth to say something.
"Listen, there is a!-"
Kuro Usagi tore out of the chains then kicked him and send him flying.
The dust settled down after he was send flying. However Yo heard his last words.
"..a..women...lake"
The man went unconscious.
"..."
"..."
"..."
Kasukabe Yo jumped into the lake after understanding what the now unconscious man was saying.
All in all, it was quite the heretical situation.
Five minutes later
"Well?"
The man kept staring at her for a while waiting for a answer. He had long awoken from his unconscious state and had made sure the people that had arrived with him were safe. He was currently interrogating Kuro Usagi with more guard around her this time.
"Emm, welcome to Little Garden?"
Kuro Usagi teared up a bit. She whimpered even more when the man glared at her angrily.
While the albino women and her child was playing with Kasukabe Yo.
