Ren, Itsuki and motoyasu all lifted themselves from the ground and quickly noticed the situation they were in, as weebs that all had died and now found themselves in a strange room with a magic glowing circle on the floor, holding strange looking weapons and a bunch of people in robes calling them "brave heroes" they knew they had been Isekai into another world though they were not going to have it

"You can forget it," motoyasu says bluntly

Itsuki spoke up next. "I also refuse myself."

"You brought us here without our consent, don't you feel the least guilty about that?" Ren said.

"Not to mention, if you throw us out as soon as we restore peace we would've done all that work for nothing," Itsuki added.

"How willing are you going to accommodate our requests?" Motoyasu asked while pointing the spear he was holding at them

"Oh dear" a feminine voice came from the side of them, they looked at it just to see a tall humanoid looking goat in a purple outfit looking at them with crimson red eyes

'What in blazes is that!' Ren thought before noticing the shield similar looking to the weapons they were holding 'wait...is she like us, was she also Isekai here? But why is she a monster? Was she reincarnated? No that doesn't make sense, i remember passing out from blood loss, which means I probably died, then why I'm I not reincarnated as well? And by the looks in our summoners faces, they also didn't expect this... what are you doing here goat creature?' Ren thought and racialized, why was a monster like this summoned when the three of them were all human? This questions were eating at him and he didn't like it one bit

'That thing...wait I think it's a woman, she is...a goat? Why is that? Is that her Esper ability?' Itsuki began thinking, Esper abilities usually didn't make the user look any different from a normal human, but he did hear cases of people developing 'Wild Esper abilities' that caused the eyes, hair, muscle, and even mind to be altered, it usually happened with people with animal abilities or in cases were the person had some sort of genetic defect or disease that affected their DNA, he found her strange and bizzare, but he couldn't really judge her just in aparrence, if he did, he wouldn't be better than the bullies he hated so much, after all justice judges our actions not our apparency, and he would be justice!

Motoyasu would have let a little scream of shock about the creature in front of him if his brain wasn't focusing on her looks instead, though she had a goat head, her body was very much feminine, from that pronounce curves and robust chest, it was clear it was a woman, and she was hitting all his check marks, even if her outfit covered all her body and clearly was big and comfy enough to hid most things from the front, he could clearly see from the sides the clear round shapes that define her hips and chest, though they weren't big when compared to her other body parts, her towering size made those aspect look even bigger than they should be(to him at least), she also had quite the pleasant face, even if it the resemble a goat head, it looked so we'll keept and soft, with those big fluffy ears contrasting the small little horns in her head and her beautiful innocent looking red eyes, he almost thought she came from a cartoon or game in how relatively cute she looked for a monster her size

the man in robes then said "Our king will be more than happy to explain the details further" he gestured then to follow to the throne room of the castle. As they got up the stairs of the tower the goat woman stared out the window, while Itsuki and motoyasu seemed to see her be filled with emotion, Ren just wanted to get things done

"let's keep moving"said the sword hero snapping the goat lady out of her moment feeling the view

"oh sorry i'm going"

When they arrived to the throne room a voice came in from the throne"… So, these are the four Cardinal Heroes?"a man said

"Very well,I am King Aultcray Melromarc XXXII."

The speaker was an older man donned in robes of cream and navy blue with detailing and trim of gold. Over that was an elegant cloak of a rich purple,his grey hair reached down to his shoulders with a trimmed grey beard,each of his fingers except for the pointer fingers was a gold ring with only the right index finger sporting a gem, purple in color. Upon his head was a gold crown with a lone purple gem on the center of it. The three of them all looked at him with a bit of uneasy, as this was their first time facing royalty but the goat lady remained with a blank expression on her face

"now stated your names"said the king

Ren went and spoke up first, "I'm Ren Amaki, I'm a highschool student and 16 years old."

Motoyasu went up next, "I'm Motoyasu Kitamura, college student 21." He did a flash pose while saying it which made the goat lady and other two heroes roll their eyes

"I suppose I'm up next, Itsuki Kawasume, I'm still in highschool and I'm 17." Itsuki spoke, seemly surprising the goat woman, but she went to present herself anyway

"well i suppose i should..."

"Very well heroes "the king interrupted her, with a hint of her being annoyed showing in her face

"Now, I suppose I owe you all an explanation. My country, Melromarc, and the entire world is headed towards destruction. There is an apocalyptical prophecy in our world that tells the end of the world and ensures that a great wave will be the cause."spoke the king clearing his throat and continue"If the waves cannot be stopped, then the world will be doomed and destroyed."

"The way we know the waves will start or end is thanks to an hour glass that every country has called the Dragon Hourglasses," The King continued.

"Our kingdom has already been attacked by one of the waves before any of you three were summoned... We had to fight them off with the help of our army and fellow adventurers, though despite our efforts, the second and third waves will be much more overwhelming and powerful than the latter, forcing us into a corner. The hourglass won't stop until all the waves are over and exterminated... it has been a month since the last wave occurred."the King gave a heavy sigh.

"We underestimated the waves. But now we know for sure only the heroes can defeat the waves. And so we invoked you, we had no choice."The sound of a blade lightly twanging against the floor sounded as Ren raised his voice to speak.

"I understand. But don't tell me we won't get anything in return after being brought here."

An old man dressed in a large purple dress to the King's left spoke. "Of course not. We will give due reward when the waves has been eradicated."

"I'll go," Motoyasu said with a smile. "Well, if you promise, it's fine by me."

"I will help you as long as you don't become my enemies," Ren added. "But don't get confused."

"That's right," Itsuki agreed with the other two. "We won't let them despise us."

"Well i suppose i will too, it would be a shame if innocent children were to be killed in these waves" The goat woman said

"yeah it you be but uh...what was your name miss?"itsuki asked

"oh my name is Toriel Dreemur little one,I was the guardian of the ruin's before getting here"she said with a friendly smile

' guardian? Little one? And that educated tone and her worry for children... she's a Milf!' motoyasu smiled at that thought, as if she couldn't get better in his eyes

"i guess you're some sort of ancient goat that lives in a ruined city" Ren responded, this revelation only seemed to bring up more questions to him

"hey I'm not that old!"Toriel replied annoyed

"yeah man you can't just say that to a woman,they are sensitive about it"motoyasu said in defense of Toriel

"we should end this chit chat" Ren said ignoring motoyasu,the King nodded.

"I'll finish the conversation. Well heroes, I want you to confirm your statuses."

"Status?" Itsuki said, sounding confused. "Uh..."

"Didn't you notice when you came to this world?" Ren said, sounding annoyed. "You don't see the icon in the bottom corner?"

They all looked at their stats Ren, Itsuki and motoyasu were pretty satisfied with their stats and specially for the fact that this world had a video game power system

"Only level one… not very reassuring."said itsuki

"What is all this?"Toriel wondered "why did it put a question mark on my age? Is it assuming my age?" She wondered with a very annoyed look on her face almost of anger and embarrassment

"maybe it was made to show human age instead of uh...goat people age?" Motoyasu said

"I'm not a goat person boy,I'm a goat type monster" she said cheerfully but with a eyebrow raised of which motoyasu was confused as to why she would be so ok to be called a monster, and Ren just had all of suspicions hit the roof with her literally admitting that she was one of the things that they and the rest of the world kill on a daily

this caught the attention of the king briefly as this was odd but he could use this is to his advantage to make her be hated by people of all around the kingdom "you're a monster?" The king asked hoping to use words to destroy her image

"yes i am, you see in my world humans and monster had coexisted for centuries,while humans choose that name because all look similar to each other without big difference while we used the term monster due to being more ample since we looked different from each other but we're still the same especies" Toriel said with calm in educational way to the king

"guess that makes sense" Itsuki replied

"yeah it must like this in here too but it was probably humans that created the name since I doubt that the monster's here are as intelligent and organized as the ones you know" Ren said with serious expression while having his arms crossed, though her explanation made some of his questions go away, there's was still a few things about her that he didn't know

"you never know amongst aggressive monster there is always a friendly one" Toriel responded to Ren, the king was slightly angry at this since everything she said was logical and wise like the sort of knowledge his wife had so it would be hard for him to make her commit slip ups

"well since we are going to fight these waves maybe we could form a party since there is four of us" motoyasu said to the others

"that's a wonderful idea!" Toriel said smiling while putting her hands together with each other

"well unfortunately that won't be possible" the king's advisor spoke up

"the legendaries weapons will hinder their growth if they are together so it is better to form individual party's" a screen appeared in front of their vision

Attention: When two or more wielders of the legendary weapons operate together, it causes an adverse reaction in the weapons. Working separately is highly advised.

"I will attempt to secure travel companions for you all. Regardless, evening draws near. Heroes, you should rest for the night and prepare for departure on the morrow. In the meantime, I will find talented fighters to form your parties." said the king,The heroes and Toriel thanked the king before a maid led them to their room.

The room provided to the heroes was likely a guestroom normally provided to visiting diplomats of other countries. As such it was well decorated and had four large beds for them as well as a table with chairs and a balcony overlooking the town outside.

As the heroes spread out to sit down, Toriel turned her attention to Ren "you seem to know alot about how this 'stats' work" she asked

"of course it is similar to Brave Star online,it comes naturally" Ren responded

"you mean Emerald online right?" Motoyasu asked looking confused again

"no it's definitely Dimension Wave,i don't even know what game is Emerald online" itsuki responded to motoyasu's question with his own leaving the four in the room confused

"i understand why Toriel would not know what a video game is but how can you guys not know about Emerald online,it is pretty famous" motoyasu spoke

"maybe you're world is old like her's because where I come from everyone doesn't play on computer's" Ren responded, playing in a computer was basically the same as writing in a papyrus using a feather

"all of this doesn't match up,it must mean that we are from different Japan's" itsuki said

"i guess we all should expect something like that since Toriel is from a world where monsters and humans coexist"

"coexisted, unfortunately"she pointed out sighing before explaining

"there was a war between them with humans being scared of the magic power that the monster's had while the monsters wanted to have the power of determination that only humans possessed" the others looked at each other"

"why though? What can the determination of a human do that makes it so valuable for a monster to get it?" Motoyasu asked

"when a monster die it's body and soul turns to dust disappearing do to the lack of determination, which made the soul and body more resistant and better connected, but with enough determination a human could defy death itself and survive injuries and situations monsters couldn't"she said with a sad look on her face making motoyasu regret asking

"i sorry for asking it, I didn't know it..." he was stopped by Toriel

"no it's ok for you to be curious after all you come from a different place and culture s, it's just that there is things I regret in the past of my world but i won't blame you for wanting to know" she gave a small but sad smile

"you boys should rest, tomorrow the king is gonna have us up in the morning to get our party members"Toriel said as she walked into her room

"man now I feel terrible for asking" motoyasu said bummed out

"it feels like she is hiding something" Ren said

"let's respect her personal space,it seems that something happened to her that she is obviously very sensitive about" Itsuki replied to Ren wanting him to take easy on the woman, from the sounds of it, it was probably the death of someone dear to her

"still i can't totally trust her if she is gonna keep..." He was stopped by motoyasu slamming his fist in the wall

"what?! secrets? So far she has said more in this discussion than you had for the entire day!" He said with a angry look

"you're missing the point dumbass" Ren responded without changing his expression

"don't you find it weird that a literally monster got summoned with us and..."

"she hasn't done anything that would make her guilty, so you can't judge like that, while i wish she would have opened to us more, it is a unrealistic expectation since we just met" itsuki said almost like he was giving a heroic speech

"yeah man just wait, I'm sure she will tell us once we get to know each other better" motoyasu talked in a less aggressive way

"it will be better that we follow her lead and go to sleep" he said moving to his room

"i still think your trusting her way too much" Ren replied

"maybe I am " motoyasu replied while still having his back to ren "but that is my decision to make" he continued walk

"huh" Ren grunted and turned around to go to his room

'this guys are gonna be hard to work with' itsuki thought
