'What the f?'
My name is shinosuke akaboshi. I am a 19 years old engineer student.
My hobby? Reading.
Yeah i am not joking, reading.
Most of you must think that it was just story reading but no i will read anything. Infact if you put a poster in your waiting room i will be able to wait there for hours reading every single detail on that poster
Because of that i like watching a good story. Like the original big three of anime. you know naruto, one piece, dragonball.
And then i started watching a lot of other anime as well. So i became something like a weeb but that doesn't make sense since i am a japanese, so let's call it an otaku.
Today i was at the cosplay event where i come there as madara uchiha.
That beautifull badass of a monster oh my god i love him. No homo
He is my idol growing up, so i try to cosplay him at this event.
Which is why i am in complete confusion on to why am i suddenly outside when i open the door.
'the event should be happening in the mall centre.' i keep on thinking and trying to find any possible explanation onto how could this be. Maybe this is just the decoration? But the sky looks real. Like it's real i can feel the heat of the sun on my skin and the air is so fresh, no way this the work of some air conditioning this is just too fresh
I look around and found other people cosplaying as well, some are cosplaying as some people with different hair color? What? I never seen that character, or that one, or anyone for that matter. It doesn't seem like a cosplay at all.
Even the half human cosplay like that lizard guy over there is completely unfamiliar with me. I have never seen them. Then again it's not like i remember every single lizard man i have ever seen in anime
"What are you looking at?" The lizard man yelled at me and that snapped me out of my thoughts.
"Ah? No nothing i was just, admiring your costume. It looks great, very realistic. The texture looks real" i said and he looks visibly enraged at that
"Of course it's real dumbass! What you never seen a lizardman before?" He said while aproaching me.
"Well yes actually this is the first time i am seeing a lizardman. Can i ask from what series are this character from?" The lizard man just became more angry and more confused as well
"I don't know what are you talking about boy but mind your eyes. Don't see us as if we are some kind of animal atraction at the carnival" Isn't that the whole point of cosplaying? Why cosplaying if you don't want to be looked anyway?
"What seems to be the problem here?" I see a knight coming towards us and the lizardman look pissed
"I am just telling this young man here to mind his eyes sir," he said and walk away with annoyance.
'what the hell is going on?'
"Are you ok sir? Does that man hurt you in anyway?" The knight ask me and i shake my head
"No sir i am the one at fault there i shouldn't have stare at people intesely like that, that must be uncomfortable"
"Alright then, have good day sir" the knight nodded and go on his way
'man this cosplay event is amazing. I feel like these character are real. Even the knight one have the aura of a real knight. That is amazing.'
Okay stop fanboying. It's time to figure out what the hell is happending
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I sit on a bench near a water fountain and tried to assess the situation
From all the information i have i seem to be in a medieval theme place, there is no sign of any moderm technology whatsoever. honestly i am impressed they put this much detail to the decoration
But the fact of me being absolutely lost is still remain the same.
How the hell did you get out of this place? I have been searching for the exit in the last 30 minutes because in the first 5 minutes i am starting to freak out. Like this is just seems too real i am starting to feel like i am in a different world.
But, but how? More importantly why? Is it a prank? Is there a camera somewhere? If yes then i surender! Which direction should i wave into?!
Or can i just wave at any random direction like a stupid person?
Sigh* "the hell is this place?" I grumbled under my breath because i am frustrated okay? I don't know where am i, how did i come here. And i don't even know if i can get out of this place. Where is the exit?!
"May i sit here sir?" I hear a voice of a deep feminime voice near me. You know it sounds like a man but it's definitely a woman
I look up and see a beautifull woman in a dark green suit with a green hair. Sje looks extremely beautifull, is she a model? A professional cosplayer perhaps?
"Yes sure" i am just agree-ing to whatever she said right now because i am too enchanted by her beuty okay? I don't even know what she asked me
"Thank you" and she sit next to me.
"You're not from here are you? That armor doesn't look like a lugunican armor" she said inspecting my overall outfit.
'lugunican? The hell is that? Does this girl doesn't know madara f*cking uchiha?'
"yes, i am not from lugunica. I am from konoha hidden village on the land of fire" might as well do my bit like the good cosplayer i am
"Konoha? I have never heard of it" she looks at me confusly as she said that
"Well yeah, it's a hidden village. If people know it, it won't be hidden anymore will it?" She seems to find that logic acceptable and just believe it
"May i know your name sir?" hmm... Should i say madara? Yeah i think it's a good option
"Madara uchiha" i said offering a handshake
She took my hand and said
"Crusch karsten" huh, nice name
"Nice name, anyway can you tell me more about this, lugunica place? Like, how to get out of it? because i have been searching for an exit in the last 30 minutes and found nothing. How big is this place?" Like seriously this mall is crazy big
She just looks at me as if i am an idiot and say
"If you're planning to get out of the country then that is impossible, because of what happend to the royal family all border of lugunica have been shut down, nothing will come and nothing will leave" the fuck?! So i am jusy trapped here forever? Is that it?
'Country? What does she mean? Is this a bit? Is she just acting?'
"Look. Girl, i like cosplaying and acting but this is just ridiculous. I have a job i need to do tommorow and i need to go home. Now can you tell me where the exit is?" She just keep on looking at me weirdly like i am some sort of mad person.
"Acting? I can assure you sir that i am completely serious of what i said"
Fuck! How bad will this girl play it?! Why?! Just let me leave damn it!
Or am i just suppose to accept this? Am i just suppose to accept that i have been brought to a different world while cosplaying as madara uchiha? Is that it?
Damn it! Damn it!
'Calm down, assess the situation. Find the best move.'
Sigh* alright let's try this theory one more time
"Do you know a country named japan?" I ask the girl and she shake her head
"No, is that another hidden country?" Either this girl is really messing with me or i am going crazy
I pull out my phone and ask her
"Do you know what this is?" She shake her head again.
I look at my phone and find no signal. I can't use the internet at all. There is no wifi whatsoever.
No matter where i look at it. All evidence is pointing in one direction. I am in a different world. Or different time but my guess is the first one. There is a freaking wolf man over there for god-sake.
Wait a second.
I KNOW THIS GIRL!
OH MY GOD IT'S CRUSCH KARSTEN! A CHARACTER FROM REZERO!
SHIT! DAMN IT! Why?! Why here?! Couldn't you choose a better place to take me other than here?!
AAAARRGGHHH!
Now it make sense. Lugunica, the wolf man, royal family. Everything make sense
"Are you alright?" The green haired said while looking at me worriedly. She is a logical but kind girl. She even care about some stranger mental health. How nice
"Yeah i am fine. Anyway, you said that the royal family got a problem? What happend? Is it serious" if the royal family had not died yet then that mean the plot hasn't started yet.
"Yes but it's a secret matter."
"I understand. It is a matter concerning the royal family after all. Wouldn't want a spy to know about this" holy shit i just said that i am from a hidden village. She must think that i am a spy
"Exactly, now may i ask how did you get into this country? The border are already closed months ago" Ooooh shit! Depending on what i say i might get into jail, and if i remember corectly this girl have a lie detection divine protection or some shit.
Well if that the case might as well tell the truth
"I don't know, that's why i am trying to find a way home. I didn't know where am i, how did i get here or anything. Hell i am not even sure if i can read this country's language" she look at me surprised of her own divine protection. Looks like i am not lying
"You're not lying. But if that's the truth, you're telling me you just wake up one day and find yourself here?"
"more like i was in my hometown one moment and the next i am here. My best guess is teleportation magic." Or sattela space-time magic
"I see. Then that mean you have no money, no place to stay in, and no one to ask for help am i correct?" Oh jeez when you put it that way i really am fucked up aren't i?
"Yeah that seems about right. I don't know anyone in this country but i do have some rings with me so maybe i can sell it"
"Rings?" I pull out one of my akatsuki ring from my pocket. It's not part of the cosplay but it's just too damn cool
"A red jewel? This looks rare you might be able to fetch a few holy coin with this, and there is a writing on it but it doesn't seems like any letter from lugunica. Is this your kingdom's writing?" I nodded at her and she continue to inspect it.
"Yeah i think it will be one or two holy coin at best, 5 gold coin at worst. But then again i am not a merchant so it might not be that accurate" she said and hand it back to me.
But the problem is, where should i sell this thing? Old man rom maybe?
Yeah that seems like a good option. Then again i might get scammed by him, but better than nothing i guess
"If you don't have a place to stay at might i offer you a place? The karsten mansion should have vacant room to stay" eh? Why? Is she just extremely kind or extremely stupid. I just said i come from a hidden village, if i am a spy or an assasin it would be extremely easy for me to kill her.
Or is it her way to make sure i am not doing anything shady? Making sure i am in her watch constantly so i don't do anything bad like asassinate the royal family or some shit?
No matter what i still got a place to live in so it might be a good idea to accept it.
"Am i not bothering you? I wouldn't want to impose your kindess, and even if i accept i have no way to repay your kindess except maybe this ring?" might be good idea to tell her now that i am broke.
"No, it won't be necessary for you to pay me, but if you really want to i can take that ring and let you stay in my mansion for a month or two" so my ring for a place to stay for a month of constant surveilance? Doesn't sounds so bad
That was sarcasm. I want my privacy please
"Thank you for your offer but i think want to find a place to stay by myself, i don't like taking people kindess for granted so i think would just sell these rings and start a bussniess or something. But again. Thank you for offering your help, i appreciate it" i said and stand up from the bench. I bid her farewell and i start to find where is rom's loothouse
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Alright. Now where does this loothouse is" i have been walking for an hour. Trying to find where the hell is the loothouse or even the slum us but no sign of it.
But it is technically a secret place so if everyone know where it is then where is the secret in it
But it's also very unconvinient for any possible costumer such as my self to find them.
I am in a bridge right know and this bridge look exactly like the one where subaru and emilia talk about the elf thing.
I look down and see a river full of clean water flowing with no trash whatsoever.
Hell this river is so clean i can see my reflection like a mirror.
AND THAT IS NOT MY FACE DOWN THERE!
It's madara. I become madara. I know i was cosplaying as him but my face is nowhere near as badass as him but now? It looks identical!
What?!
'Wait don't tell me'
I try to focus on my eyes. Praying to any god out there that my theory is correct
After a few second my eyes started to change.
It take a form of a red eyes with 3 com- oh who am i kidding it's a sharingan.
A freaking sharingan!
YES!
THERE IS GOD!
YEEEEESSSSS!!!!!!
Alright, calm down. Calm down.
Inhaaaaaaleeee*
Fiuuuuuuh*
"Okay, i am calm." Oh my god this is happending! I am madara! Ahahahhaha!
'maybe not as calm'
Anyway now i gotta figure out what other power i have. Other than the sharingan obviously. Did i have chakra? Is it different from the normal mana of this world? I mean i know this world have some kind of special organ that store mana and they call it the od or gate? I don't know but that sounds rather similiar to the chakra on naruto world. And they both got stored on the stomach so another similiarity.
'stop getting distracted damn it, you need to find rom's loothouse or you will sleep outside'
I stand up and continue my searching
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3 hours.
3 hours of constant walking and asking and confusing.
Finally i am here!
In the slum. Not the loothouse.
Now i gotta find that giant now don't i? It will be easy since it was big and basically the only house down here.
But this place is so big damn it why couldn't they just put a sign that said (Old man rom 200M) or some shit.
But i still won't be able to read it anyway soooooo yeah that doesn't matter let's just walk again, like a casual. I miss my car
Sigh* but weirdly enough i am not tired at all. Hell i feel like i can bench press a mountain. Well maybe not a mountain but you got the point. Can reinhard bench press a mountain?
"Hey you don't look like you're from here." I turn around see a little girl walking towards me. She has a blonde hair and red eyes. like real red eyes is she a vampire?
"Yes i am not from around here, i am not even from this country. My name is madara uchiha. The last member of the uchiha clan" this feels cringe but it doesn't feel worse than a normal roleplay
"Uchiha? Never heard of it. Anyway you shouldn't be here, this place is dangerous for a stranger like you, you know?"
"I can assure you child. I am perfectly capable of defending myself"
"I am not a child! I am 14!" That was a lie. No chance that this little hamster here are 14. At best she is 10
"Well putting your age asside. Do you know where old man rom's loothouse is? I have some jewel i want to sell and this might get him a few gold coin" she looks visibly brightened by that and told me
"It's this way! Come on i'll guide you!" She said while pulling my hand
Well this is convenient
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"So let me get this straight. You want me to help you sell this 10 rings and in return you will give me a cut of it?" The reason why i am doing this because i am not sure i can get the highest possible ammount of money by myself. I need someone who know how to negotiate with this kind of thing
"And you're not afraid that i might scam you?" Well, fair i think that's what any normal people will think
"Actually i have 3 good reason onto why i believe you won't scam me. 1 i trust you, i know what kind of person you're. 2 i have a blackmail material for you, and 3 i have a way to make sure you can't scam me so everything is good" i am not some kind of happy go lucky person who believe the world is just rainbow and sunshine. He is a professional crook after all. Scaming people is what he do
"And what kind of blackmail you have?"
"Is the name velga cromwell sounds familiar to you?" As i said that his eyes become wide but he immedietly pull himself back
"And how do you know this information?"
"I know a lot of thing i shouldn't"
He is looking at me judgingly but for some reason i am not nervous. I am not scared even a little bit even tho this guys is like, twice my size.
"*Sigh* fine. From what i see each of this ring will sell for atleast 1 holy coin. I will help you sell it and we go 50/50"
"80/20"
"60/40, i am not going any lower than that"
"Fine." I shook his hand and give him the ring. 6 gold coin is still a good enough money for me to start a new life here.
Maybe i will go to elior forest and meet emilia there. Becoming her first friend sounds like a good idea.
"You need to wait a few day though. I can't just magically sell this thing in a day"
"Well then, i hope you have a vacant room here because i have nowhere to stay" he grumbled a bit then say
"Fine, felt show him where he would be sleeping in" the little girl is snapped out of her thought after suddenly got called then dragged me to a rom
"Here is your room!" Why is this girl so friendly? Is it because i have money? Probably it, she has been living in the slum since she is a baby so the thought of getting a holy coin is just nuts
"You don't need to force yourself to be formal near me. I am used to people talking casually"
"Fine then, just tell me if you need something, i'll be downstair" and she close the door.
Well i think it will be a good idea to get some rest
'what the f?' the moment i touch the bed my body just colapse on it and i feel like my head is getting hit by a hammer
And then i passed out
