Teaser
Disclaimers I don't own Kono Suba or Isekai Quartet or any of the other anime properties, however…
It was weird, one minute Art found himself being tossed over the balcony of Samantha's castle and being murdered repeatedly by Samantha's followers, and the next thing Art knew was that he was back in modern day society.
Granted he didn't know how or why he got here, but he remembered briefly during being decapitated for the 5th time that his head was sent flying into a remote with a big red button.
Still it could be a whole lot worse, like him being killed another 20 times before Samantha sent someone to save him, and yet he felt alone in those lonely streets.
Still it wasn't like he was naked as he had his repeater rifle on his back and a backpack filled with enough bullets and dynamite in case he ran into danger.
Walking down the streets, he soon found himself face to face in a vacant shopping plaza where it had various shops ranging from snacks, electronics and game shops, an outdoor fish market, but more importantly a book store.
Walking into the building in stride, Art had looked for anyone else, even a store clerk, before spotting the manga section.
Already eager to get his fill of manga after forever, Art was quickly disappointed when all he realize none of it was in English.
Well ain't that a boner killer, thought Art as he no idea how to read or translate any of this as he turned his back and still saw no one.
Stepping back outside, Art decided to fire a round into the air hoping to get someone to come out their shops, but no one arrived.
Feeling absolutely alone and guilt free for what he was about to do, Art made his way into all the various shops and activated his Jury Rigging skill and smiled since he could make him things he needed to survive and then some.
Technology and gadgets repurposed to sci-fi and futuristic weapons he saw only in videogames and movies, he had made himself enough ammo to last him for a while or whatever confronts him, and more importantly he had himself a portable smartphone to play music and a portable wireless speaker.
"Phew, I could really get myself a serbesa" Art said out loud as he wiped the sweat off his brow, and popped the top off a bottle of cola, before he heard himself the sound of clanking armor.
Thinking it might be Samantha or someone he knew who finally found him, Art hurriedly found himself confronting a Dullahan with an army consisting of the dead and sentient shadows made up of cyber coding.
"This is interesting" Art said as this wasn't the weirdest thing he's scene Human, state your name and why did you brought me back to life and here said Beldia as he pointed his sword at Art.
"I'm sorry guy I didn't catch that" said Art innocently, What kind of language do you speak of human, I'm not familiar with it said Beldia as he stuck his sword back into the ground.
"Shit this is moments like this where I wish that I had something like Google translate- and I do" Art said eagerly as he pulled out his phone and set up the app.
"Alright guy, just try talking into this thing and I'm pretty sure we can take the chance to chat with this thing" said Art as he faced his smartphone towards the Dullahan.
Is that how you brought me here, you manipulative bastard, I hope you realize that you're a fool for showing me your mind control amulet. Archer fire away ordered Beldia as one of his undead soldiers fired a bolt towards Art and hit him in the shoulder.
"OW! That hurt you mother fucker" Art said angrily as he now realized he had to fight an army by himself, which he found no problem anymore.
Taking out his smartphone he pressed a few buttons on a few custom apps where he had summoned some drones he had built himself that dealt with crowd control as it shredded and gibbed the army of the dead and the sentient shadows within a minute as all that stood was Beldia and him.
"I don't know if you can understand a word I'm saying, but surrender now and never show your face again" threatened Art as the drones began to retreat and power off.
Hm, impressive human, but let's see how you fair when you don't have your flying toys and a bad arm said Beldia as he realized that not only was the arrow bolt out of his arm, but Art was holding his rifle with both hands with no pain.
How is this possible said Beldia, "Ok I figured trying talking to you was a waste, so die already" said Art as he began to aim and shoot towards Beldia as he was surprised by the booming sound of the rifle and being hit by bullets for the first time.
OW, what the hell are those and that weapon of yours demanded Beldia as he felt his armored chest and began to pick out the lodged bullets in his chest.
"Damn, should've loaded this thing with armor piercing rounds or something of a higher caliber" said Art as he began to load his weapon with the aforementioned ammo.
No way I'm giving you chance to fight said Beldia as he threw his head into the sky and charged towards Art, where he began to cut away at the man till he dropped dead in a puddle of his own blood.
Once Beldia was finished, his head safely fell back into his arms as he turned to examine Art as he lied there dead.
Damn should've kept him alive and figure out where I am said Beldia as he was surprised to see Art picking himself up.
What the hell is going on here said a bewildered Beldia as Art groaned a little as he lifted his destroyed rifle.
"You bastard this was my favorite gun. Oh well I could always make a new one later on" said Art as he turned to face Beldia, who was still in disbelief that Art seemed to have survived his attack.
Who the hell are you, what are you demanded Beldia, "Hey jackass I don't know what the fuck you're saying, nor do I think you understand what I'm saying, but that doesn't mean I'm not gonna kill you" said Art as he pulled a golden rod from behind his back.
Beldia was than surprised to see that the gold rod seemed to produce a saber made up of laser as Art himself was surprised.
"Holy- Dead Rising was right in regards to making these things" said Art in aw before returning his sight back to Beldia.
"Alright you bastard, come get some" said Art as he took a stance, which Beldia found welcoming, A showdown between swords, how welcoming said Beldia as he too gripped his sword.
Both men stood there for a good minute, not making a move, that is until Beldia sent his head flying ready to face Art once and for all, who only needed one good swing to bring him down, and he did when he not only cut his sword but body in half.
Clearly victorious, Art knew he hadn't won yet when he heard Beldia's head came screaming down before slamming head first into the ground, literally.
"Heh, surprised to see that you're alive" Art said as he lifted Beldia's head, Please I surrender, I beg of you to spare my life pleaded Beldia.
"Still have no idea what you're say, but I sure as hell know what I'm going to do to you" said Art as he began to pull out some duct tape and dynamite, and wrapped it around Beldia's head.
What the hell are you doing asked Beldia in pure fear as Art began to take out his lighter and began to light the fuse, before kicking Beldia as hard as he can out into the middle of the road and witnessed him explode.
"Oh they're going to have to glue you back together, in Hell!" Art said triumphantly as he made his way back towards the plaza and continued building and or rebuilding the things he's going to need if he plans to survive here if he was expected to face against guys like Beldia.
Later
After building himself a new rifle, along with some modern day weaponry, Art chose to take a nap in a candy shop that had a couch in the back.
Once he felt well rested, he stepped back outside and notice a strange girl examining the weapons and various tech he had either repurposed or left untouched.
To describe her was essentially a girl with pink hair with mint green highlights, a halo over her head, and wings around her lower back.
Approaching her with caution Art had readied and aimed his weapon towards her.
"Drop the drone and put your hands up" ordered Art as Jibril turned around quickly to see Art, Oh good, someone new to talk to, tell me are you the one responsible for making those fascinating primitive drones asked Jibril.
"Oh goodie, another person who doesn't speak English. You probably don't even know what I'm saying" said Art as he began to lower his rifle and pinch his temple.
What's this a different language, tell me sir, what is the name this language you speak of Jibril asked eagerly as she got up in Art's face, "Whoa, personal space now" said Art as he was given the distinct feeling that Jibril was friendly at least.
Let me repeat, what language do you speak Jibril repeated as she was more than interesting to learn of other worlds and cultures as Art began to search for his smartphone and had the Google translate app ready.
Using some improvised hand gestures and motioning to speak into the device, Jibril pick up on what Art was saying and began to talk.
"Let me see here, 'What language do you speak and what is this machine I use'. Hm it says here you're speaking Japanese. Wait a minute is that where I'm at, Japan" asked Art as Jibril looked at him weirdly with her head tilted to the side.
"Oh Sorry. I speak English and this device that I used is called a smartphone" explained Art as he showed the translation to Jibril.
Having knowing what Art spoke, she snatched his smartphone and began to search up the English language.
"Hey that's mine" argued Art, before Jibril lifted her finger, telling him to wait as she continued to learn the English language entirely in a span of 5 minutes.
"Um, any chance I can get my smartphone back before I leave" said Art as Jibril handed it back with a smile, "Sorry about that, I got distracted in learning of this thing called the Spanish and French language" said Jibril.
"Holy shit, did you just learned the entire English language just now" asked a surprised Art, "I did actually, now that we can understand each other, I believe introductions are in order, so please call me Jibril" said Jibril.
"Names Art Legend, but please call me Art" said Art with a smile, "Well Art, tell me are you the one who invented all of these devices and that smartphone of yours" asked Jibril.
"I did actually" said Art, "Fascinating, you must tell me how you did it" asked Jibril as she was eager to learn all about Art and the toys not only he made but in the world they live in now.
So yeah, this is but an introduction to Art along with Jibril as both will play important roles later on into the story.
As for those who don't know who Art was or simply forgot or because I didn't put in enough details about him, basically he's the leading protagonist to 'How I Saved Satan's Daughter in Another World' a novel I had created, whom I decided on a whim to be part of the cast way later on, his abilities or being immortal, built and create whatever things he wants if he had the resources and the imagination to do it, has a fear of heights and love for music, salt and vinegar chips, and the anime/manga culture as a whole, in short a nerd like everyone else.
With that being said and kept in mind, next teaser will feature these 2 along with other half of the name pending battlefront members, specifically a certain group of dames.
Alright guys, hope this sates your patience till this Christmas special in the months to follow.
This has been your Humble Narrator and official author Tobi Yaza. =3
