Chapter 1: How come...
~3rd POV~
In the quiet dimensional gap (if Great red isn't present), 5 figures can be seen floating around and observing the big spatial rupture.
The spatial rupture in question was a big purple and black colored wormhole just the size of a big room.
"So this is the anomaly we need to investigate?" Figure 3 asked with a feminine voice so she must be female (unless it's mil-tan…). Figure 3 looks like an 18 year old girl that has a long silver hair and hazel eyes. She wears a loose, black kimono with a silver obi.
"Hai, Ajuka-sama asked us to investigate as he is too busy to do it." Figure 4, another girl, replied politely. Figure 4 has blonde hair, blue eyes and wears a bright blue cloak and a matching bright blue hat that made her look like a typical witch but much cuter.
"Then let's get on with it, the sooner we finish, the sooner we go home. Seriously this thing makes me uneasy…" Figure 1, the male, said as he tried to approach it with caution but then the rupture rippled and rapidly expanded.
"w-what is happening?!" Figure 2, another blonde girl but with drill-like hair, panicked.
"It must have reacted violently with Issei-sama's magic. We need to get away quickly." Figure 4 stated.
Everyone then tried to teleport away but the magic circle shattered.
"The anomaly is interfering with the teleportation." Figure 1 said.
Everyone tried to fly away but the gravity well was too strong and it is expanding too fast.
"We won't get away at this rate..." Figure 3 said.
"No other choice, brace yourselves!" Figure 1 yelled as he equipped his gauntlet.
"[Boost x30!]" Figure 1 strengthened his companion's defensive capabilities.
The rupture then devoured them.
《Hehehe, it seems Boss's ability to attract trouble is this strong.》 Figure 5, who until now decided to keep quiet, laughed.
~Issei POV~
"Gaaa!" I woke up screaming.
*Huff**Huff*
Where am i?
I scanned my surroundings, I seem to be in a moderately sized old western house. My memory is still hazy… the last thing I remembered was… the rupture!
I knew it! I should have refused Ajuka-san's request. Nothing good comes out from accepting suspicious requests like that. Sometime I wonder if I am cursed.
"[You shouldn't move too much, you are still injured.]" Ddraig, my loyal companion, informed me.
"Guu... what happened?" I asked while rubbing my temple. I seem to have a killer headache.
"[When we were being sucked in that portal, you boosted the other's defense but left yourself defenseless.]"
"I see..."
Suddenly, the door opened and there Ravel was standing.
"Ah! Issei-sama, you're awake." My cute little assistant said brightly. She seemed relieved of the fact that I was awake.
I tried to get up but… *Ouch*… my back ached a bit.
Ravel seemed to notice because she grew worried.
"Issei-sama, are you alright?" She asked in concern.
I smiled, seeing Ravel being worried about me somehow makes me happy. Her concern is very much appreciated.
"I'm ok, how long was I asleep?"
"You were unconscious for 3 hours and a half."
3 and a half… that is quite long…
"Where are the others?" I asked, not seeing Bennia, Seeda or Le Fay.
"They are in the living room." She answered.
I stood up and tried to walk to the door but stumbled. Ravel then held my arm, supporting me with a small blush gracing her face.
So cute! I resisted the urge to hug her right now.
I opened the door and we left the room.
When I arrived in the living room, I was greeted by 3 people.
"Ah! Master" Seeda greeted.
It was Seeda Lucifer is the sole daughter of Vali and Kuroka and my goddaughter and Rook. She is half devil and half nekoshou. She inherited Vali's silver hair and Kuroka's hazel eyes. She was raised in secrecy as Vali has many enemies and a lot of people wanted to have an endangered, rare and strong nekoshou. She joined my peerage at the age of 16 and I was asked by Kuroka to protect her.
"Good evening, Issei-sama." Le fay-chan greeted politely with a bow.
Le fay Pendragon, the direct descendant of legenday Morgana Le fay and her brother King Arthur Pendragon of Camelot. She is the 3rd naive, pure and innocent girl with Asia and Ophis as 1st and 2nd. Hailed as a magic prodigy by everyone since childhood, she mastered multiple types of magic considered difficult even by seasoned and mature magicians.
"Issei..." A cute loli with black hair, brown eyes and pale skin acknowledged.
It's just Ophis… wait…
My eyes widened. Ophis?! Here? But how?
"Ophis, how did you get here?" I asked.
She tilted her head cutely but still held no expression.
"I, followed Issei."
"But... *sigh* never mind." I sigh in exasperation. I guess I should not be surprised at Ophis' actions anymore, considering she just pops up whenever she likes it and would even disappear in the same manner.
"Anyway, what is the situation?" I asked everyone.
"We are in the human world, England to be exact. Oddly, we have no contact to the Underworld, Biblical Alliance branch or any other Magical faction." Le fay answered.
I frowned. No contact… that is impossible, Biblical Alliance have branches all around the world including Britain. Could it be a mistake… no this is Le fay we are talking about, she rarely makes mistakes.
"I see... what happened after we fell?"
It was Seeda who answered.
"Well… after your 'heroic act', we landed somewhere in a forest. We then travelled to a small town and lodge in an inn."
I looked at Ravel who looked dazed. She held her face and with a blush muttered something about 'noble... brave... gallant... protecting... us.'
I turned back and asked:
"Where is Bennia?"
Bennia is my Knight, previously Souna-senpai's until we traded. She is a half human and half grimreaper.
"She's out in the city, gathering information."
Suddenly, a magic circle appeared in the roof. A Bennia passed through it like her sinking type teleportation.
"Well, speak of the reaper and she shall come." Seeda said.
"From your smile, I assume you found something enlightening." Le fay asked.
《You bet I did!》 Bennia replied cheerfully. She summoned a newspaper, albeit an odd one with moving pictures.
The publisher is daily prophet... magical newspaper may still be in circulation due to it being favored by older beings. I was not aware of the publishing company of that name. Most people just use magical computers...
And the headlines says: Dark Lord Grindelwald topples French Ministry of Magic... Impossible, a war cannot happen without me knowing it. Considering that Europe in under tight surveillance after the events of the Terminus war. And I remember that the French magical authority is not a ministry.
"Issei-sama... look..." Ravel pointed to the date.
"June 26, 1940." I read out.
"Impossible! Time travel?" Seeda exclaimed.
Le fay-chan frowned and said: "I suspected as much..."
Everyone except Ophis, who is just looking at us with a tilted head, looked at her for an explanation.
"The building were old, people's clothes are not outdated, they don't have telephones, and cars are not abundant." She pointed out. Seeda and Ravel's eyes widened in realization. I seems that they noticed those things but paid in no mind.
Time travel... it is so far-fetched! But everything point that way... but still...
"I know, I may not be that well versed in history but i do not remember this happening nor do I remember someone like this 'Grindelwald'." I pointed to the headlines.
"Neither have I." Seeda informed.
"Me, neither." Ravel added with a frown.
Hearing this made me a little surprised. Ravel is raised since childhood with top education so if she doesn't know anything it, our situation must be bad...
"I don't recognize it too... it is impossible... unless we unknowingly accomplished what Rizevim-sama has sought and failed to do..." Our resident magician concluded.
What the shitty bastard failed to do? But his goal was... no way! Travelling to another world!? Impossible... but Chichigami-sama was the proof that it was possible and all evidence suggests that...
"B-but this can't be." Ravel stuttered in denial. Probably fearing the fact that she could never return again. I can understand her, I also cannot get back afterall.
"Regardless of what you believe, the fact doesn't change." Seeda said as everyone adopted a grim expression.
"Ravel calm down." I placated Ravel and turned to everyone. "We should now decide on what we will do from now on."
"Bennia where did you get the newspaper?" I inquired.
《Eh? I just passed through a barrier somewhere in the city and arrived in a magical town!》 Bennia brightly answered.
"Take Ravel and Le fay to that town to gather more information. Ravel, find some way to get us some solid background and a place of residence. Le fay, go and learn some of their general knowledge. And Seeda, guard Ophis and accompany her if she wanders off." I ordered everyone sharply.
People call this my 'leader mode', while not as the same level as Souna-senpai, I can still be a competent 《King》. I developed a strategic mind polished by countless battle and a lot of experience that made me capable of leading my 《Pieces》 in battle.
"Isn't it better to talk to the local authorities?" Seeda asked in slight confusion.
It was Ravel who answered.
"No, World War 2 is ongoing. And if we suddenly pop up saying that we are from another dimension, people will be suspicious of us. And even if they believe us, there is a big chance that they will seek to use us as we have no support, background and we are currently unaffiliated." I nodded in agreement and Seeda nodded in understanding.
As expected of my Ravel, so thoughtful.
《Heh, so working in the shadows, huh. I like that.》Bennia commented.
"Yes, now go!" I commanded.
《Yessir.》 Bennia mocked a salute and sank on her teleportation circle.
""We'll be off then."" Ravel and Le Fay said politely, bowed and left, leaving Ophis, Seeda and I alone in the room.
Silence filled the room until...
*Siggghhhh*. I sighed heavily on frustration, gaining the other 2 occupant's attention.
"How come something like this always happens..." I complained to noone in particular.
"Well it is you after all." Seeda stated factly with a smirk and even Ophis nodded slightly.
