Chapter ? – The Return

-Pleiades Watchtower-

Inside of the tower that was holding the witch of envy, something absolutely bizarre was happening...

Shaula, the guardian of the tower, was in complete shock, as something that was out of this world was happening.

"W-What is that..." Shaula mutters, as she tries her best not to faint from what she's seeing.

Only a few meters from the mabeast girl, was a small white crooked line floating midair. What was truly strange about the line, was the feelings it gave off.

Shaula felt like the line was drawing her closer to it, but she also felt as if it was pushing her away. Both couldn't have been, but they were.

"W-Why..." Shaula's voice choked, as tears started streaming down her face.

Not only did she feel the pushing and feeling, but also as if the line was talking to her.

The line was telling her many things.

It knew things about herself that she only knew. It told her things she never knew. It loved everything about her. It told her how beautiful she was, how irreplaceable she was, how she was the perfect woman for her master––That's not true.

The line hated her.

It hated how she looked, it told her she was worthless, it told her that her master was disgusted by her. It blamed her for everything––That's not true.

The line didn't love nor hate her.

It told her that she had good looks, but wasn't the most beautiful. It told her how she was just a mabeast, therefore she is replaceable. It told her the unfortunate truth that her master didn't hold any romantic feelings for her––That's not true.

The line only felt sorry for her.

It apologized for her being stuck in the tower. It apologized for her master not loving her. It apologized for the previous things it had said. It apologized for messing with her mind. It apologized for everything––That's not true.

The line was angry at her.

It was angry at her for staying in the tower. It was angry that she loved her master. It was angry that she was crying. It was angry that she was looking at it.

"S-Stop!" Shaula cried out.

"Please stop!" Shaula screamed out, but the line didn't stop.

It was angry she was asking for it to stop. It was angry that she yelled out––That's not true.

The line didn't say anything to her.

––That's not true.

The line was crying out her.

It didn't want to hurt her, so it cried. It wanted to save her, but it couldn't, so it cried. It wanted to—

"Please save me!" Shaula cried out, hoping something would save her, but unfortunately for the mabeast, no one would help the poor girl––

"That's not true."

Shaula frantically looked around, trying to find the face of the voice.

"I'm in your headoooh~"

The voice childishly pretended as if it was a ghost.

"C-Can you please help me?" Shaula begged.

"Fine."

"Thank yo—

"But before she could thank the voice, the page was crumpled into a ball. The end." Said the same voice that Shaula had heard.

"Well that was something."

The voice, belonging to a raven-haired boy, said.

The boy was wearing an orange and black––

"Hey!" The boy shouted out to no one.

"I'm talking to you!" The boy shouted to no one.

The boy in question, was currently laying on his bed, with his orange and black tracksuit––

"Switch to my POV!"

"The Greatest's POV"

Hello guys!(And the other ones that aren't guys)

You guys always hearing Thirth Person too?

The guys over at Ao3 and Wattpad told me they don't, maybe you readers are different.

That thing has started ringing in my head a loooong time ago(like around the accident) but you won't see that until the flashbacks later on.

The boy, Natsuki Subaru, was mentally unwell.

"Hey! It's supposed to be my POV!" Subaru, in his delusions, talks to no one again.

The raven-haired boy used to be a normal boy, but one day he unfortunately got into a car accident when he was heading to school, and ever since then he has been different.

He hit his head very hard, and it looked like he wouldn't survive, but miraculously he managed to survive, but unfortunately it wasn't without a cost.

When he woke up in the hospital, his parents immediately noticed he would talk to someone that wasn't there. They were obviously very worried for their son, but the doctors had told them that other than him talking to nothing, he was otherwise fine.

"...but if you read carefully, he actually died in chapter 7." Subaru suddenly said.

"Hey! You were supposed to pretend that I was talking while you were giving the backstory!" He shouts out to nothing.

"Ugh, nevermind." The boy rolls his eyes, presumably one of the voices annoyed him, and goes back to writing.

The boy was a terrible writer––

"Rude." The boy mutters.

The boy was a terrible writer, but despite his terrible writing, the boy seemed to come up with good ideas... sometimes.

For example, the one he was writing; before he crumpled it up, was a story about a girl who was the guardian of a tower. The girl was protecting the tower because her lover had told her to––

"Not lover, she's his disciple." Subaru rolls his eyes.

But suddenly, a white line appeared, and told the scorpion girl many things. Although he didn't finish it, Subaru would reveal that the line was—

"No spoilers!"

"If you like that concept I'll actually complete it! Just comment it down below!"

He smirked widely to himself as he shouted out, most likely waking his parents up from his loudness.

"My room is sound proof idiot."

But luckily Subaru's room had been modified to not let his screaming wake up his parents or neighbors.

Besides the rightfully abandoned story, Subaru had many other ideas. All of them would be very good stories, some might even compete with the greatest work of arts, if not for the fact that Subaru was writing it.

Give his ideas to someone who knew how to write, and then it can be good.

" " The boy rolled his eyes.

Although Subaru knew he was right, he knew deep down that he shouldn't say that. It was wrong, and and small party acknowledged it, but he kept lying to himself. He wanted to continue living the lie, he wanted to feel like he was worth something.

"What the fuck dude!?"

He angrily exclaims to his bed, as he glares towards it.

"I didn't even say anything! That line is just blank!"

He continued to insult his bed, unaware that the bed was an inanimate object.

"Fuck off."

"Scene switch!"

"Uh... it'll be 373 yen." The cashier looked at Subaru with confusion, not understanding his words, but still telling him his total.

After Subaru was done yelling at his bed, he unexpectedly felt the need to have some snacks. Unfortunately he was out of snacks, so he had to make a trip to the convenience store to buy some more.

"You take usd?" Subaru pulled out a crisp $5 dollar bill and placed it on the counter.

"We do not." The cashier blankly said.

Undeterred by the cashier's response, Subaru develops a small smirk, and reaches into his wallet.

"How about now?" Subaru's smirk grew bigger, as he slides another $5 dollar bill onto the counter.

"We do not take that here." The cashier blankly said.

"I see how it is..." Subaru winks at the cashier.

"You want my number!"

"I'm straight sir." The cashier blankly said.

"Don't worry man, it's 2024."

"It's 201—"

"How aboutthis!"

Subaru slams three orange pieces of paper, with the numbers 500 on them and 'Monopoly' at the top of the paper.

"We also don't take that." The cashier said.

"Hehe, what about th—"

Subaru was going to pull another thing out, but the cashier stopped him.

"I'll just pay for it." The cashier said.

"Thanks man!" Subaru smiled at the man.

Subaru was too lost in the fact that he got stuff for free, that he didn't notice the look annoyed gaze the cashier was sending him.

After the cashier payed for Subaru stuff, the cashier asked Subaru to not return ever again, and then Subaru left.

"That guy was nice." Subaru said to himself.

Subaru continued to be in a bubbly mood as he walked back home, still smiling to himself about the stuff he got.

"My eyes!" Subaru suddenly screams out.

He felt an itch in his eyes, something that he chucked to being just because he was sleep deprived, unaware of what he would open his eyes to...

When Subaru was done rubbing the itch out of his eyes, he opened his eyes to something absurd.

"Huh?"

Subaru's eyes widen.

He quickly spun his head wildly, seeing people with animal features, and seeing big lizard creatures pulling carriages.

"No way...I got transported to a movie set!" Subaru excitedly exclaimed.

People were sending strange looks at Subaru, but Subaru ignores them, and continues to childishly look around. He walks up to a big lizard creature, and gawks at the creature.

"It looks so cute!" Subaru exclaimed.

He looked at the ground dragon with hearts in his eyes, as he reached his hand and started to stroke the dragon's head. The dragon tilited it's head at Subaru, but seemingly enjoyed Subaru's patting.

"Heh- you're the first to say that."

The dragon's owner, a merchant, chuckled. Although at first he found Subaru bothering his ground dragon to be annoying, but after seeing how happy it made the dragon, he couldn't help but smile at the sight.

"Really?" Subaru's eyes widened.

"No one's told this cute little thing it's adorable?"

Subaru smiled and said. He continued to rub the dragon's head, which made the dragon let out a small roar.

"Cute? This little girl isn't exactly cute, but I guess you're into that stuff."

The merchant shrugs. He didn't really get how Subaru found it cute, but he wouldn't––

"Cut!"

Subaru suddenly exclaims, as he made a 'X' with his hands.

"Huh?"

"I'm not trying to fuck or be fucked by this cutie!"

Subaru exclaimed. His words turning many heads towards the conversation.

The merchant didn't like the fact many people were staring at him whilst Subaru was talking about a crude topic, after all, it could be bad for business. So he tried his best to quickly clear it up.

"I didn't mean that. I meant that we find different things cute." Said the merchant, as he rubbed the back of his neck.

"..." Subaru blankly stared at the man.

Subaru angrily punched the wall of an alley, as he recalled the earlier interaction. After the man had cleared up the misunderstanding, Subaru left in embarrassment as he felt many stares at him.

"I wasn't embarrassed!" Subaru stops punching and yells to the sky.

Subaru's knuckles were covered in blood, as his entire hand was all mangled. Despite the skin of his hand peeling off of his hand, Subaru didn't feel any pain. He instead focused on telling himself he wasn't embarr––

"It burns, Thirth Person." Subaru glares up to the sky.

"Don't you dare try to––"

Subaru is interrupted in his yelling by a man yelling at him

"Give up all your stuff!" A short guy yelled.

Next to the short guy, there was a lanky light-blue haired man ho––

"No." Subaru blankly said.

The skinny man furrowed his brow and angrily walked up to Subaru.

"Hah! You think you're a tough guy huh?!" He angrily screamed in Subaru's face.

"The toughest there is!" Subaru widely smirked.

The man's face twitched in anger and he looked behind him and signaled for the other two to come closer.

"I think we need to teach this guy a lesson." The man said with a smirk.

The other two men behind him also smirked, as they slowly approached Subaru. Because the lanky man was blocking Subaru's view, Subaru was unaware of the large dagger in the short man's hands.

"What!?"

Subaru exclaims.

Subaru tried to back up, but was met with the dirty wall of the alley stopping him from going any further.

"H-Hey now, w-we can just let bygones be bygones, yeah?"

Subaru stammers out, as he looks extremely scared.

Unfortunately for the scared boy, the three bandits don't look like they are backing down anytime soon. Instead, they seem to be enjoying Subaru's frightened expression.

"Heh, looks like the little noble boy finally realizes his place."

The skinny man says to his other buddies.

The other bandits chuckle at his comment, and also enjoying the way Subaru is flinching at their laughs.

"U-Uhm, I'm sorry but...I uhh... I need to go home..."

Subaru nervously stutters out, as he keeps avoiding eye contact with the skinny man.

Subaru face was covered in sweat, as well as his face was paler than normal. Not just that, but Subaru was also acting very jittering, with him constantly tapping his foot or messing with his hands.

Just like his outer appearance, Subaru's was absolutely terrified at the situation he was in, but not for the reason most might be.

'I need to shit!'

Subaru screamed in his mind.

Something Subaru hadn't really thought as a problem, was the fact that prior to his Isekai, he really had to defecate. Like really bad.

He left his house thinking he could hold it until he returned, but him being transported to another world obviously threw a wrench into that plan.

'Don't worry readers, read the tags. You won't be seeing any of my shit'

Luckily for Subaru, it's seem that talking to the voices in his head is stopping him from shitting his pants.

And also luckily for Subaru, as he was talking to his voices, the trio of bandits scurried off and are no where to be seen, with the trio having left a few minutes prior.

However, it was not without them snatching Subaru's bag of sn––

"They robbed me!"

Subaru yells out in surprise.

Surprisingly, his yell was loud enough to make birds that were peacefully sleeping on roofs, wake up from his grating voice and sadly fly away with sad expressions on all of their little faces.

As they flew off, one of the birds, a beautiful white little one named Dora, spotted another roof miles away from where he was sleeping, before Subaru rudely interrupted the little guy.

Although far way, the little bird was determined to make the other rooftop his new sleepin––

"Shut the fuck up about a bird!"

"Read the tags Thirth Person. I betcha don't see some random bird named Dora now, do ya? Ugh, this joke doesn't work on this site, Thirth Person..."

"Stop there thief!"

Suddenly, a girl's voice comes from behind Subaru.

Subaru quickly turns around, and is shocked at the sight he sees. In front of him was a girl, a girl that Subaru immediately recognized.

"Is that famous actress Emilia Clarke in front of me, or am I dreaming!?"

Subaru exclaims with excitement.

The name was a name Subaru has said many times in his original world. Many people questioned him on the name, but Subaru always gave the same answer: "Hot Chick".

"—!" The girl's expression is one of shock.

The girl looks at Subaru with suspicion in her eyes, as she questions him.

"H-How do you know my name!"

'Emilia Clarke' yells out to Subaru. And not just that, but several ice stakes appear in thin air, all pointing straight at Subaru.

"Cut!"

Subaru makes a 'X' with his arms.

"You're not her!"

"Huh?"

"I just got some Intel that Emilia Clarke does in fact not possess magic, so...you're a fraud, Emilia!" Subaru says.

Not 'Emilia Clarke' pouts at Subaru's words, and questions him, but this time she's not alone. A small cat-like creature pops out from the jewel around the girl's neck, and seems to also not be pleased with Subaru.

"Answer my daughter's question."

Although otherwise looking cute and harmless, at this very moment, the floating creature looked like the most terrifying creature in the world.

It glared at Subaru as it ordered the raven boy to answer the question.

But being as mentally unstable as he is, Subaru had no reaction to the glare the cat was giving him, instead, reaching out and trying grabbing the cat.

"So cute!"

Subaru squealed out.

Subaru wasn't much of a animal guy, but he couldn't help but try to snatch the little creature into his hands.

"..."

Unfortunately for Subaru, the creature manages to avoid his grasp, and quickly flies back to the girl, but maintains the harsh glare on it's adorable face.

"Answer, or e-else!"

The girl asks again, even summoning more floating ice crystals around herself.

Instead of feeling threatened like he should've been, Subaru was instead not taking any of it seriously.

"Come back here kitty!" Subaru happily exclaims.

He had a goofy smile, as he quickly approached the two with his arms opened wide.

He didn't think of the consequences that could happen because of his actions. The thought that he could be hurt, or worse, killed, never even crossed his mind.

All that was on his mind was getting to the floating cat.

"Sorry I had to do this."

The girl mutters to herself.

The ice stakes around her start speeding towards Subaru.

Only now that the stakes are coming towards Subaru has he changed his expression. Now, he held a surprised, mixed with fear(?), expression.

'End the chapter Thirth Person!'

Subaru screams in his thoughts, as the ice stakes start barreling towards his body, with one going directly towards his face.

Even in a dangerous situation, Subaru was still talking to his voic––

"END THE FUCKING CHAPTER!"
