"Sir, are you okay?" They were the first words I heard after the accident . Then I opened my eyes and looked around. Display a lot of red lights was flashing.
"Status report"
“Sir, we hit an unknown object. Thanks to the shields, there is no damage to the outer body. I cannot say the same sentence for pushers. Sir, I'm starting protocol 5. " Protocol 5 is a system that will put me into deep sleep in case of a problem on board.
I shouted "never" .
" Sorry, sir."
I shouted " Layla " . It was my last sentence before I was surrounded by a pile of iron and before I fell asleep.
I opened my eyes inside a wooden house . "Where am I? " I said to myself. After looking around me in a bit confused, I began to feel the pain in my body. "What happened to me?" I was very curious about that. I started to rise from where I was lying. When I finally managed to sit down, I could see better around me. I noticed that someone was looking at me next to the door on my right. She was a little girl.
"Where am I?" I said in a hoarse voice.
Suddenly she got out of where she was and ran outwards. I sat up and headed towards the door where the little girl came out. I was barely walking. There was a sun hugging me when I went outside. I suddenly felt more energetic. I took a deep breath and continued walking. All the villagers were looking at me in confusion. Then I heard a voice behind me and turned around. He looked like he was in his 35-40s and looked like a medieval farmer from his clothes . Then he started talk to me.
"So you finally woke up."
"Who are you? Where am I."
“This is Kokopa village. My name is Mizuno Rai . I found you in the depths of the forest a week ago. You were hurt. I carried you up to this village. I covered and healed yourr wounds.
"Ah! Really?, Thank you for the main help. I'm Mitsuaki Katsuo . "
"Well, Katsuo - san, stay home if you want, still your wounds are not healed."
“It's not a problem, I'm fine. I'd better go around a little bit. I want to ask a question. "
"I'm listening."
“Did I do something. They're looking at me, surprised and frightened. " I said, pointing to the villagers.
"Ah! Yeah, I guess you don't remember. I also would not want to remember if I was exposed to that much pain . 3 days after I resced you, a dragon attacked our village. ”
"D-D-Dragon!?" dragon? What world am I in? Do dragons really exist?
“Yes a dragon. It attacked our village. It set a lot of houses on fire. Everyone wanted someone to appear to save us. Just then, you suddenly left the house and had a fight with the dragon. Even if the dragon never hit you, you lost a lot of blood. Then something happened to your right hand. I don't quite understand what happened, but it sure helped to you defeat the dragon.
"And then what happened?"
“Then you were knocked down with the dragon. The dragon turned into a sword. The sword hovered in the air came near you and suddenly entered it. Everyone swallowed their little tongues in the face of this situation. "
"Everything is clear now."
"Yes"
I looked around. Everyone was still staring at me in surprise. I turned to the man who saved me and asked the following question. "Is it so important to beat a dragon." I said. The man looked at me in a puzzled way.
"Of course, this is a dragon, after all, even 10 experienced adventurers can barely beat a dragon."
“ Hmm. ” Layla had suddenly come to my mind . How would I find it? Since my right arm is robotic, it is equipped with ground tracking systems, but for a very limited area. I can find something from the last data it sent to my right arm, but this is very unlikely. Still worth a try. The first priority Rai-san as if I have to go to where to find me.
"Rai- san, can you take me to where you found it?"
" I'm sorry, but I have a lot of work in the field right now ."
"Can anyone take me to that place?"
"Ah! Actually yes. My daughter knows where I found you. She can take you.
"Ah! That would be very helpful. "
Then we went to the field with thought. Rai called to his daughter. " Kaoru , can you come here?"
There was a voice saying "I am coming" from a place I could not see. Shortly after, Rai-san 's daughter came to our side. A girl came out of the crops. She was very dirty as she was working in the field. The girl was suprised saw me with her father.
“Dad, he is awake ! “She continued to look at me, surprised.
“Yes, he woke up,” said Rai - san.
“Nice to meet you, I'm Mitsuaki Katsuo ." The girl stopped being surprised and smiled at me.
“I'm Mizuno Kaoru . I'm glad to meet you." Then Rai-san began to talk with his daughter to told me to take me where he found me. Rai- san turned to me.
"So why do you want to go there."
“ A friend of mine was traveling with me. I have to search that place to find her. Maybe I can find a clue. "
“ Hmm, now I got it. I hope that, you can find your friend, but be careful, your wounds haven't healed yet. ” said Rai-san .
"OK, I'll be careful." I said with a smile. Then we went with Kaoru - san to the place where Rai- san found me. After a short research, I realized what kind of route I fell on. On my right arm, I looked at the latest data that came to me. It showed me that my ship came from northeast and went to southwest. I turned to Kaoru-san "what's in the southwest."
"There is Kinlin, the capital city of Shaeko country.”
In the last data I received, it says that it sent the armor to help me where I fell. If it fell away from me, someone else may have found it and took it to the capital city. After examining the place where I fell, we returned to the village. Rai- san told me that my friend would be in the capital city. He told me that a few days later they will go to the capital and sell the wheat they harvested. I could go with them if I wanted to. I hope I can find my armor there.
I could not sleep the night of the same day. I went out and walked around a little while not aiming to get away from home, but when I realized I had been far from home it was too late. Suddenly I heard a voice. "Help!" it didn't feel very far away. I quickly went to where the sound was. I saw a little girl. Around her were 4 people who looked like bandits. I pulled out a suppressor pistol from my right arm and fired on them. They all fell to the ground. Then I went to the little girl. The little girl looked very scared. She was very dirty and was wearing a hooded cloak . "It's okay, they can't hurt you anymore." I said. The little girl cautiously took my hand.
"Are you okay?" I said. The little girl looked at me but didn't answer. "Don't worry, I won't hurt you." I said. She did not speak again. “I'm Mitsuaki Katsuo . What is your name?"
" Koneko Alice"
" Alice- chan , don't worry, nobody can hurt you right now, you don't have to be afraid ." I said and opened her hood . Her face was a little dirty…. WHAT! Her ears are like cat ears. Or is it a half cat ?
