As the people around her cheered Hitomi listened to the world around her, she was scared- confused and she was experiencing emotions that she didn't even know she had, she could feel a tear rolling her eye.

Yet before her emotions managed to overwhelm her she heard the voice of a girl called out to Van.

"Mater Van!" the girl yelled and as she opened her eyes she watched as Van jump off the wagon and was immediately jumped on by a girl that was part cat, it wasn't that the girl acted like a cat, despite licking Van's face, no she legitimately had cat ears hair and even a tail.

Hitomi watched as Kazuma and Aqua jumped down and watched the girl cling to Van, Kauma turned to look at her.

"Hey we aren't going anywhere else come on," he said to her before giving her a hand and helping her off the wagon

"Lord Van" Hitomi heard a group of men call out to Van and she saw a group of older men wearing armor that seemed to belong to knights ad samurais walking towards them, the men glanced at her and her companions before returning their attention to Van.

The moment the men saw the dragon's heart in Van's hand they all kneeled swearing loyalty to him.

The men immediately led them to the castle and had a group of maids guide them to their room, Hitomi dint like having to share a room with a man she didn't know but under the circumstances, she was glad o have both Aquand Kazuma with her.

"Hey, Kazuma, would you leave the room for a bit, I need to change," Hitomi said to Kazuma, she was still wearing her track team uniform and she felt too exposed wearing nothing but short shorts and a T-shirt.

"Sure" Kazuma answer her before leaving the room.

As Kazuma closed the door behind him he took advantage of the fact that he was alone to curs himself for jumping into the pillar of light that brought them into this world.

Both he and Aqua thought that since the light was a portal to another world ten they might be able to use it to go back home, instead, they ended up in a completely different world than the one they were trying to get to.

There was one good thing, however, there was magic in this world meaning that he could regain some of the strength that he had lost while he was on earth.

In the throne room, Van was listening to Balgus as he informed him of what he saw in the strangers that were accompanying him.

"Are you sure" Vanasked Balgus

"No, but by the way that the man and woman walk and act, is obvious that they believe that they are perfectly safe, unlike the other girl who looks completely;y worried about her situation"

"It's obvious that they have been in situations similar t this or have had their lives in danger more than once to know what to look out for" Balgus answered Van

"I'll assign a guard to keep watch over them," Balgus said to Ban before picking up his sword and leading Van to the training room

Inside her room, Hitomi was finally done changing and she turned to look at Aqua, Aqua was a foreigner and despite looking Japanese, she painted her hair blue and would wear revealing clothes like the outfit she was wearing at the moment.

Both Kazuma d her had transferred to her school the same day and there was even a rummer going around that the two lived together despite not being related to each other.

Kazuma looked Japanese but acted more like an American, meaning that he didn't care about the rules that the rest of the world lived by.

Both he and Aqua would usually be dozing off in class, but unlike Aqua Kazma always got good grades because he was just that smart, so the teachers put up with him.

No one bothered to say anything to Aqua because whenever someone tried to bully her Kazuma would threaten them r fight their boyfriends, and Hitomi had heard Kazuma outright threaten a teacher who had taken a liking to humiliating Aqua.

"Hey, you done changing?" Kazuma asked her

Hitomi quickly turned around and found Kazuma standing at the door, she hadn't called out to him yet so she was angry that he had opened the door before she could say anything to him.

She was about to say something when she noticed that there was a shadow coming from the window behind her and when she turned around she found the same cat girl that was with Van earlier.

The girl jumped into the room and turned to look at her and despite being shorter than Hitomi, Hitomi could feel the girl's stare.

"Hey don't get too close to him," she said to her

"I'm sorry what?" Hitomi said to the girl

"To master, Van don't pretend that you don't understand," the cat-girl said to her before she saw Hitomis bag, that she was carrying with her and began to look through it.

"Hey don't just grab things that aren't yours," Hitomi said to the girl, unfortunately when the girl turned to look at her, she saw Hitomis pendants that she had in her hands.

The catgirl quickly grabbed the pendant and ran past Kazuma and out the door.

"Hey give that back!" Hitomi yelled as she chased after the girl

"Brings back memories, don't you think," Kazuma said to Aqua as he watched the two girls run down the hallway.

"Let's go" Aqua said to Kazuma before chasing after the two girls
