It's been a while huh? I hope I've gotten better.

Ragnos woke up with a yawn. He groggily opened hie eyes before smiling

After all today is a new day!

He looked around the tent and his eyes landed on Leila. Don't get him wrong he's grateful for the save, but he wasn't sure what to think about the new addition... He shook his head, they get to know her eventually! besides they need to stay with her to avoid the same incident again.

"Like what you see?" his mind snapped back into reality. he hummed for a moment in thought "Well...my classmates might, I think?"

She chuckled and waved her hand in nonchalance.

They were in a content moment of silence.

"Where's Slayannas?"

Then from peaceful silence to shock gasps.

I found myself lying on the grass with a head splitting headache 'I keep getting this a lot lately.' I really wanted to sleep a little longer but I can't help but to feel...unsettled. I forced my eyes opened, which instantly closed because of the blinding sunlight.

...Sunlight

..sun

I immediately sat up with shock and quickly took in my surroundings, panic started to set in when all I see is forest. I let out a groan "Where in the world am I?".

"You don't know where you are?"

"How did you get here?"

"Sleepwalking?"

"Kidnapping?"

My head immediately snapped towards to the source of the voices, their confusing way of speaking not helping my headache at all. There are two girls, both of them, at first sight, are identical. Both of them have black obsidian hair, one wearing in twin braids and the other is in pigtails, but one had black eyes and the other had brown, which I could only see because of the sunlight, without the sun they would be clones of each other.

"Can you two show me to the closest town?" they both looked at each other first before letting out twin mischievous grins.

"You better catch us first~!" They said in unison. The pigtails one quickly touched the ground, covering the area in in purple slime, while the other one waved at me and SHE COVERED A BIG DISTANCE WITH HER CANNON! "No fair~" She cried before turning her weapon into a mini helicopter and tried to catch up with her twin.

I continued sitting there in shocked before reality hit me "WAIT." I chased after them, after slipping to the ground first, and tried to use my long legs and acrobatic skills (Which is still quite limited) to my advantage.

I didn't notice the figure hiding behind the trees, sighing.

They're tricky, I admit it, but they're obviously not that familiar with the forest as they seem to be. They keep going in different directions and when I saw one them, a look of worry flashed through their face until they saw me and pretend to know what they're doing.

They have the skills to erase the gap of my advantage, but their mana can't last forever, and lucky for me I got the stamina that I need to out last them.

And oulast them I did.

We are all currently in one area, the twins and on the ground panting, and I was on my knees but smiling in victory.

"I caught...You guys" I said between breaths.

"That was..." The pigtails breathed in.

"...fun~" The braided breathed out.

We all smiled in agreement and took a moment of breather, "Now can you guys show me to the closest town?"

A moment of silence.

"We..."

"...uhh..." They stared at each other.

I deadpanned "Don't tell me we're lost."

They looked at each other

"We're not lost." "yeah we are." The former slapped the latter.

I groaned and flopped to the ground. What are we gonna do now?

"Luckily your big brother is responsible." A male voice echoed through the forest.

"Big brother!" The stood up, as if they weren't tired in the first place, and tackled hugged him to the ground. He chuckled and smiled fondly at them as he rubbed their hair, messing it up.

He took a moment to stand and his eyes turned serious, "What did I tell you guys about talking to strangers?" "Don't talk to them.", they chirped.

He sighed, as if he gave up.

He looked at me and gave me a polite smile "Sorry for my lil' sisters...they're...missing their pranking spree," He glared at them. They both looked unrepentant. then he faced me again, offering his hand "Hehe anyway the name's Issa, the one with the big smile is Aira and the smaller one is Maira, nice to meet you." I grabbed his hand and he pulled me up.

I smiled at them "Nice to meet you guys. My name is Slayvannas."

They all blinked for a moment, one of them quietly gasped. "It sounds like a character's name." I stood still. He gave her a reprimanding look "Don't make fun of other people's name!" "Sorry..." She looked guilty this time, He sighed.

I gave a nervous laugh "It's okay, somebody said something similar before." Then I remembered Ragnos and Leila, they must be wondering where I am.

"Ahh can you tell me where we are?"

He looked at me and smiled.

"We're currently at the outskirts of Saint Haven."

...

Eh?

Rip this
