We stood around Kenneth as Emilia healed him after he had defended her from Elsa's surprise final phase and took a stabbing to the arm. I suppose I should have listened to Kenneth's earlier comment about there being a couple more phases left in her. But she's most definitely gone now.

"Really Emilia, I'm fine. 'Tis but a scratch. You care way too much." Kenneth complained while smiling slightly clutching his grocery bag. Wait when did he- Emilia quickly turned her gaze to meet Kenneth's gaze, surprised and confused at his remark. "Just a scratch?! You have a big cut going up your arm, that's definitely more than just a mere scratch!" "I...have a cat?" He offered, obviously lying.

I looked over to Reinhard. "So, what exactly happens now? Will you have to take Felt and Rom to the slammer for this?" "You know, this is all your fault, Felt." Kenneth remarked sarcastically. "Hey, I didn't know she'd be a

psychotic freak!" "Relax kid, I was only kidding. Probably. Pun not intended." "Don't call me a kid! I'm fifteen!" "I'm turning seventeen tomorrow so I'll call you kid if I want, kid."

"Anyway, whaddya gonna do, sword saint?" Reinhard looked back and smiled. "While what Felt did today is no light matter, as it just so happens, I'm off duty right now." "Ah, you're going that route, I see. Sneaky sneaky." I remarked, pointing at him and wearing what could only be described as a devious grin on my face. Kenneth smirked, "Not as much as a knight as I thought. Noice." Alas, all would be well with grandpy Rom and Felt.

"Hmmm, but wait just a second, where are Kenneth and I supposed to go now? We don't have anywhere to stay." "I could let you come over to my place to stay awhile." Reinhard offered. "No, I'll take them. Contrary to what you said about your arm, you were cut pretty badly. I won't be able to heal you fast so I'll take you guys in."

Kenneth sighed, "Dammit, I can feel my bone." He said while poking around in his cut. He looked up, "but it's not THAT bad. Plus shouldn't you be more hesitant about taking two potentially horny male teenagers home?" Emilia looked at him quite confused. "Horny? What do you mean by that?" Kenneth stared at her in disbelief, "You really are an anime girl. You poor innocent being. I'll make sure to watch what I say then. No promises." Emilia just looked at him puzzled.

I looked upon the scene in front of me and smiled, knowing for sure that everything was going to be fine, when something came to mind. "Wait just a second, you still haven't given Emilia back her insignia!" I pointed at Felt, remembering the very important reason we went through this in the first place. "That's right! How could I forget after all we went through to get this far?" Kenneth sighed at the stupidity of it all.

"Yeah, you guys did save me and I can't let a debt go unpaid so I'll return what I stole. If it's so important I suggest you keep it hidden so it can't be stolen again." "I appreciate the advice though it's a little strange hearing it from you." She then reached into her pocket and grabbed the insignia, but just as she was about to give it back Reinhard grabbed hold of her wrist.

"What are you doing?" "Hey! You're hurting me, let go of my arm!" We all started mildly shocked at a confused Reinhard as he maintained a hefty grip on Felt's arm. "This can't be possible. What's your name?" "Huh? Felt, why do-" "Family name, and just how old are you?" "Look, I don't have anything fancy like a family name. I'm fifteen, if I had to guess, I don't know my birthday. Just let me go!" "Sorry, but I'll have to take this girl in for further questioning."

"Might I ask why? It's not because of the insignia so why would you need to take her in?" I asked Reinhard. "You are right, although that theft is no small crime. But if I overlook what's unfolding before me, I know it would be the greatest crime of them all. I'll need you to come along with me. I'm sorry but I simply can't let you refuse." "Get over yourself! Just because you saved me doesn't mean you-"

Reinhard once again cut her off as he raised his free hand up to her face which caused her to faint. He picked her up and rested her on his arms. "Now that move didn't seem that knightly either." "I was careful not to use too much. Ms Emilia, I will most likely be calling on you very soon. I hope you understand." Reinhard grabbed the insignia and returned it to Emilia. "Please take good care of Kenneth and Ethan, they've been through alot." Reinhard then turned and looked up at the moon as clouds passed overhead. "Tonight may be our last chance to gaze calmly at the moon." After that concerning comment we said our goodbyes and went our separate ways.

(Arc 2 Opening start)

Kenneth is shown sleeping under a tree as Ethan is playing games on his phone. The sky is shown big, blue and perfectly clear. 'Re: living life in another world' flashes onscreen. Kenneth and Ethan are shown walking through a village as the inhabitants greeted them. It looped that way four times. Kenneth looks up at the sky before smiling. Ethan was being pulled around by some kids. It cuts to a group of familiar people. Kenneth is shown standing next to Emilia pulling her in for a picture. His arm around her shoulders. It zooms up to his face, showing his name, before switching to Emilia's and doing the same. Ethan stood by Rem as she blushed slightly. They were being pressed against each other. Ethan's face was zoomed in on and his name was shown. It switched to do the same for Rem. It cut to show Kenneth and Ethan dodging and killing some wolf-like creatures. Roswaal was shown sitting in a chair with Ram sitting on his lap. It cut back to show Ram and Roswaal being dragged to the group. It zoomed in to Roswaal's face and showed his name. Ram was pushed right up against him as it zoomed in on her face and showed her name. It cut to Ram firing a barrage of magic, killing some of the creatures. It cut to Puck and Beatrice sitting in front of the first four. A flash appeared as a picture was taken by some teen from the village nearby. His face was zoomed in on before his name was revealed, 'Toby'. The camera on the phone flashed frice. It got bloodier and darker as the flashes went off. Kenneth and Ethan's faces were crossed out. A small snowflake fell onto the image. It cut to black as a black hand shot towards the main characters.

(End)

When she said that we're staying at her house, I didn't think she meant a FUCKING MANSION! "Hey Anime girl, I think you neglected to inform us of the size of your humble abode. Not that I'm complaining." I shook Emilia's hand off my shoulder, when it got there's beyond me.

"I'm sorry, I thought you knew." I shook my head, "How was I supposed to predict this? How? In what world do you think that I, a shut-in who hasn't been to school since middle school, is big brained enough to think, 'Oh this stranger is probably taking us to a house, twice the size of a small school building.'?" I sighed, having exhausted my rant. "It better look good on the inside."

The cart stopped as the current driver, some girl named, "Ram". (Eerily similar sounding name to Rom. Who never seemed to talk to us in the normal way. She is way too formal.) Stopped it. I stood up stretching. "Man, I expected those carts to be uncomfortable. That was far more comfortable than I could have ever thought it would be. I love these royal carts. Carriages? Carts? I don't know what to call them. I guess they're both drawn by horses."

E-man jumped down as he too was starting to stretch. "Well, if we go by the name, they are designed for royalty so it only makes sense that they're a lot more luxurious than your typical cart. Though I must say it was going a lot faster than I would've expected. We also made some very sharp turns at times." I nodded, "I know it's weird." I started following Emilia, who had started walking off in the direction of the manor. "So….. do you own this place or something? If so, that's impressive." She shook her head, "No, my benefactor is the owner of this fine household." ….why would she need a benefactor? I didn't press further, since it might be a little personal. I may be a little shit, but I'm not an asshole.

Ethan followed behind Ram. I'm not sure as to why Ram wasn't even attempting to hold a conversation with him. But, he'll manage to break her eventually. He always does. He is just that kind of person. I looked down, before smiling. "So anyway, why here? I'm fine as I so clearly stated earlier. Besides, Rienhard seemed pretty cool to hangout with. Why couldn't we go with him?" Ethan shrugged running to catch up to us, I guess he gave up for the time being. "Because the story needed us here." I sighed, "I guess that would make sense."

Emilia opened the door as Ram…… wait, she doesn't have blue hair. This Ram looking female was standing there all menacing looking. 'I don't trust her. She feels like she is the type to kill me off on a moment's notice. Did I take a shower? I feel like that is very important for my survival right now.'

I walked up to her and noticed her intensely gazing at me. I backed up a bit and walked in. I noticed her not doing the gaze when E-man walked in. It's probably nothing. I checked my phone again as I started playing an emulator for Pokemon FireRed. I, of course, chose Charmander.

Ethan walked up behind me. "You guys were looking at each other like you both thought the other was pretty sus. Hopefully nothing comes of it." I shrugged, "She might have trust issues. And I don't really trust twins. And sus? What is this Town of Salem?" I wish I had my GameCube here. I walked forward when, "Myy. It seems I haaaave guests." A clown looking guy came out of nowhere and was looking pretty smexy.

Emilia stepped forward, "Hello Roswaal. Sorry for being late. I got into a pretty nasty predicament but luckily these kind people helped me." I looked at him, before nodding. "My name is Graba- um Kenneth Richmond. Sorry for intruding, she didn't let me hang out with Reinhard at his house. So, sorry." Emilia lightly glared at me, "And my name is Ethan Crow. Uhh Ignore him for heeee, yeah he's dumb." I gasped in faux betrayal, "Ignore him for he knows not of what he says." Ethan checked the time on his phone, "Anyway, let's eat and get to know each other."

The blue haired maid finally spoke, "I have already started the cooking if you would wait here for a few minutes." I nodded, "I hope you guys have Pizza here." "I have no knowledge of such a dish." I face palmed, "I should've expected that. Most Isekai anime have no pizza. You at least have sandwiches, right?" "I have indeed made sandwiches." I hope they have tomatoes in them. Emilia nodded, " We should partake in the consummation of the sustenance you have prepared for us this day." Ethan also nodded in agreement. "Indeed." I nodded as well, "Though, did you have to word it so fancily?"

Roswaal lead the charge to the battlefield that was the dining room. "Pleeeeeease take aaaaa seat." I gratefully accepted. "Man, this place is great, shame we're only staying until I get healed." Roswaal dropped his accent, "Well, about that. You did save Miss Emilia, and she is one of the current royal candidates. So, I think rewards are in order." Wait royal? What did we get ourselves into?

Woah woah woah, now hold the damn phone. Royal candidate?. "Uhhh, what do you mean by royal candidate?" I looked at Roswaal surprised at what he said. He looked and smiled at me. "Why I meeeeaaaaan that Eeeeeeemmmiiiilia is a potential candidate to become the next ruuuuuuler of this fiiiiiine kingdom." "Ah, I guess that makes sense." "So, why was someone as important as Anime girl stolen from so easily?" Kenneth asked, a bit confused. "There wasn't anything I could do. That thieving young lady was simply too quick." Kenneth looked sceptical, "Sure, whatever you say Anime Girl."

"Speaking of that thieving loli I wonder what Reinhard ended up doing with her and why she was so important. You know what, this could set up a semi big plot twist in the future. Maybe we'll figure out she's another royal candidate, though that probably won't happen. Anyway, back to the topic at hand, plus the fact that we had saved her life, I can imagine that the reason you guys are so keen on rewarding us is because if we hadn't gotten that insignia back then it would most definitely not have been beneficial to Emilia's career." Roswaal feigned a look of shock and dismay like he had heard something terrible. "Oh, what a dreeeeeeeeadful scenario! If she had lost it, then there would be no doubt. The belief wouuuuuld be that one who can't even protect a tiny insignia has no business being entrusted with the nation's rule and that would be the end."

"Yeah, you guys are true saviors to me and I'm very thankful so ask me for anything." "Ah, yes, you heard the lady. Annnnnnnnny reward you desire, just naaaaaame it!" Kenneth put his hand on his chin, "I do need some money. How about I gain a steady income from some work around here. It'll only part time though. So how about it? You can choose what job."

The room went silent as everyone sat around not saying anything. Ram could be heard sneezing. "Uhhh, I'll just go the truly slothful route and reside in this fine mansion." Kenneth sighed, "Suit yourself." They said yes and we finished eating.

As I was getting dressed, I realized that this butler outfit... fit perfectly. The blue haired maid, Rem left me alone after that, leaving me with Ram. I stared at her and her at me. "So, Twin number 1, what's on the agenda today?" She stared at me and scoffed, "The name is Ram, she does not like being closely associated with her little sister." "Fine." I smiled.

She glared at me, "First, you'll go on a tour of the manor. Come along, Ame." "I see you just butchered my name so casually like that. That is also not my name, like at all. I mean it's not even close to being the name that I was introduced as." She shrugged as she walked off. I sighed, following right after.

After having finished up the mansion tour, she started to tell me about some girl named Beatrice who had something called, "Door Crossing." Which apparently made her hard to find. I shrugged and opened a random door using nothing but my barely used instincts. "FBI, Open up!" I bashed into the door and looked ahead of me. I saw a loli. I sighed, "Lolimancer would kill for this world. Probably. I think. Maybe." I smirked, "Hello there!" She looked at me, "How have you ended up here, I suppose." "I just walked through a door and ended up in here. You're the one who chose not to move said entry point. If I was given the right info about your specific power. Thanks for that by the way. Without you, I'd look like a dumbass." I looked back at her unamused face. "Something tells me your definitely not human. Which is cool. Can you confirm?" She stared before huffing, "Yes. I am a Spirit I suppose." I nodded, "...I'll leave now." Man, she was actually adorable. I left to head to mine and Ethan's room for the night. After all, it's going to be a long day tomorrow. I may have not went to bed for a few more hours. I set my alarm if it helps any.

I was laying in my bed playing Super Paper Mario on my phone. I was mainly just laying down on my bed and emulating different wii and game cube games on my phone the whole day. Kenneth then came into the room and I went to bed.

I woke up to the sound of Kenneth's alarm going off. I slowly got up and stretched Kenneth woke up and evacuated the depths of his bed. "Well then, your first day on the job. What exactly must you accomplosh today.?" "I dunno" Kenneth yawned, "But I probably have to go see Ram. So, Imma go eat some breakfast and then get to work. I apparently have work from 7-12 during the day." Kenneth got dressed and ready for the day, then left. I simply looked around the room then shrugged. "Eh, I'll at least get out of the room today. I'll just explore the mansion, maybe go outside for a little bit as well." I then walked out of the room and started traveling the halls aimlessly.

I kept walking through the halls before I came up to a random door. "Yeah, it's probably a good idea to walk through this random door." I placed my hand on the knowb, turned, and opened the door. The room in question was a large library. Straight ahead was a good ol' fashioned loli attired in a pink dress and reading a book. "It seems another rude person barges in uninvited. How did you get in here, I suppose?" I simply shrugged. "Eh, I just opened a random door in the hall, I wasn't really seeking this place out. Anyway, what exactly is your name?" "My name is Beatrice in fact." "Ah, well I'm Ethan. I'm thinking I'm just gonna leave now. Farewell." I walked out of the room and shut the door behind. I then continued my exploration of the mansion.

I was in the kitchen looking at my phone and putting the breakfast pizzas in the oven. Which I'm surprised they have. I set a timer and started to clean for a bit more. "Heh, mom would be so proud of me." 'man thinking back to the first day here, I never should've tried to change my character. I probably made an idiot of myself.' I shrugged and started to wait for the pizzas. Checking the timer it had less than two minutes on it. Rem walked in and saw me, "I see you've already started making breakfast." I nodded, "I'm making pizza." We stared at each other, the timer couldn't be done soon enough. 'Giorno's theme' played as the timer went off. I broke eye contact and pulled the pizzas out. I walked out and set all of them at the table before sitting down, Ethan came walking in. I noticed him eye me hungrily, I nodded and he dug right in. I also started eating. There were only 4 pizzas left once we were done. "It was good yeah, but not as good as what I could've made if I had Wi-fi to do it correctly. What do you think?" Ethan shrugged. I sighed, "Well back to work for me." I stood up and walked out to clean.

I fell down exhausted, "Finally done! Took longer than expected, but I'm free for the rest of the day." "Good Job Kenneth." I looked over and spotted Puck flying towards me. Damn, I forgot all about him for a bit. Suddenly a thought came to mind, "I've been meaning to ask, so I'll just ask. Emilia was using magic before, yes?" "Well technically, but there's a difference. What she was using was Spirit arts. She draws mana from the atmosphere, whereas I use my own gate." "Gate? What's that?"

"For magic users, gate is what is used to use mana in ways to attack. Mana passes through a gate within your body. You both draw mana in and expel it out through the gate." I nodded, absorbing the information. "So... it's like a regular MP bar..." Puck looked at me as he continued, "Magic users are divided into fire, water, wind, shadow, light, and earth attributes. If you want, I can check what yours is." I nodded enthusiastically. "Alright, one sec." He pushed his soft tail into my forehead. I sat patiently as he pulled away. "You can use the element of fire." I smiled, "Can you teach me, my smol but cute cat friend?" "Alright... Just say Goa while imagining your mana pouring out of your gate." "I've got it." I closed my eyes and started to imagine how it feels to touch a pipe that has running water through it. "Well that's odd." I yelled, "GOA!" I felt slight tingles, but felt fine. I opened my eyes. I looked around until I looked at my right arm. It was surrounded by flames. "AHHH!" I fell down and started to shake it, trying to put it out. "Calm down, I can explain that."

"So you can't extend the magic off of your body without seriously straining your gate." I looked at my still lit arm and smiled, "Alright, I have a move already thought off." I stood up and got into a boxing stance, I reeled my arm back and visualized flames compressing into my fist. "I'll use my non-patented move." 'For any god that needs to hear this. I don't own this move.' "Falcon Series: FALCON!" I started to release my fist and thrust it forward, "PAWNCH!" a small explosion of power shot through my hand before disappearing. I knew it had worked and I smiled. My eyes widened and I ran off to go find Ethan. Puck sighed and repeated the explanation. Ethan stroked his manly (almost unseeable) stache all the while inhaling the knowledge.

Puck put his tail against Ethan's face, "I'm going to check your affinity." He suddenly made U.F.O sounding noises, "You have light magic. Just shout Jiwald while imagining your mana pouring out of your gate." "Alright. Well, here goes nothing." He slowly raised his hand up in front of him, hand opened completely. He closed his eyes as he yelled out, "Jiwald!" That shout was as effective as the pokemon move Splash. It did nothing. Suddenly, Ethan blew up and launched back. He landed in some bushes that I had to put manure around during my job.

"Watch out for that mud, man." He very slowly attempted to maneuver his way off the bush and evade the "mud" below. It was all for naught though as the bushes gave way and he took a tumble down into the questionable substance below. I laughed at his suffering. "It's seems as though your gate sends out an explosion whenever you try to use magic. Meaning you don't get to use any magic." I thought for a moment, before remembering. "Shit! Ram is forcing me to go to town with her!" I ran to get ready, "Also get cleaned up, E-man. You're coming too." Ethan looked back and forth between nothing, and shrugged as a response. He stood up and walked to take a bath. I smiled, grabbing out my phone to play the "Pokemon FireRed" emulator on it. I then set off to wait for Ram and Ethan to get done getting ready.

After the deadly incident outside I went back into the mansion and took a quick bath and got dressed. It took a long time but I recovered from the life threatening incident. After I was done I went outside to find Ram and Kenneth waiting. We then left to walk down to the village. "So why exactly do we need to head down to the village?" I looked over to Kenneth and Ram as we made the trek down to town. Kenneth shrugged, "Apparently, Ram needs to obtain more items for food and cleaning I think. So, we're getting stuff for the manor. You are just here to explore the village for a bit." "Ah, alright then." "Hey there are some kids over there, go play with them or something while I help Ram." "Yes I could play with them, I very well could. But why? Why would I do that, why would I d- agh!"

I was cut off as the troglodytes overheard Kenneth and took it as an invitation to apprehend me and drag me into whatever endeavor they may be partaking in. I could have easily fought them off but I decided to go along with whatever was happening. I then entertained the little troglodytes until Kenneth and Ram got back. Just in time for karma's next serving of pain. Just as they came walking over with the groceries in tow one of the kids with blue hair came walking over with a cute and particularly grumpy little pupper. "Wow, what an amazing piece of dog! Let's peel!" I slowly put my hand oit and tried to touch the bundle of meat and fur. But alas, it turned out I couldn't have worded that any worse as it bit down on my hand in self defense. "Oof, ow. What-, in tarnation."

Kenneth looked surprised, "What the fuck did you just get into? I left you alone for a few minutes and now you have a pint sized cuddle puffer biting down on your slicc fingers." "Of course I'm partaking in the get-bitten-by-dog any percent speedrun. Don't waste my time with such feeble minded questions, it's rude." Kenneth shook his head, "No u! Either way we're going now." "Oh ok. I should get this dog bite healed though. We'll do it once we get back. Anyway-" I turned and pointed toward the mansion "lesss peeeeweeee." We all headed back to the mansion with the supplies intact.

Me and ke burst into the room after a long first day residing at the mansion. I stretched as I neared my bed so I could engage in dying. "Man, I'd say that was a pretty good start to our lives in this manor." I looked over at Kenney as he was also getting to perish. "Indeed. Although you never did get that bite mark healed." Kenneth reset the alarm. "Yeah. Welp, it's too late now. Might as well just go to bed now. Goodnight." Kenneth plopped down in his bed and completely ignored me. I shrugged and did the same. As I dozed off I was eager for another day in the big boy house.

I stumbled forward as if I were a drunk man on the carousel ride. It was night just a few seco- no it's not possible. How could we have. No. I looked over at Ethan with a haunted look. I think. We died.
