Chapter 2: Awaken and a Different World

When I wake up, I see the sky.

The clouds move slowly and you can hear birds chirping from somewhere.

I get up. There is no pain. I stand up and see mountains and grassland everywhere as I look around. It feels like being somewhere in the countryside.

So this is the other world.

(Hayate, is that you? What are you doing here, did you get into an argument with Nagi again? )

I see a big tree in the distance. I think there is a road near it.

For now, I wonder if Ill meet people along the road?

I decide as I start walking towards the big tree. Before long, I see the road. This is certainly a road.

Well, which way to go, but.

Im worried whether to go to my right towards the base of the big tree or to the left. Hmm, if I go right, itll take me 1 hour and if I go left, itll take me 8 hours to reach a town. If thats the case, Im worried.while thinking, my smart phone inside my pocket suddenly made a noise. (TL: you know, ring tone)

When I take out my phone I see God incoming.

Hello?

Oh, it connected, it connected. It seems you arrived safely.

When I put the phone to my ear, I hear Gods voice. It was only some time ago that I parted ways, yet I feel some nostalgia.

I forgot to say that your smart phones map and directions have changed to that world. Please use it.

Is that so? That saves me a lot of trouble. I was just lost.

As expected. I thought it was acceptable to send you into a town, but I think I would have caused a commotion and be troublesome. A place away from the public, in that case, I was a loss about where to send you.

Hmm, I guess so.

I answer while smiling wryly. Certainly I do not know where to go. Because, I have neither an acquaintance or hometown

You will have no trouble reaching town while you check the map. Well then, do your best.(TL

YesWell then.

When I hang up, manipulate the screen on the smart phone, and launch the map application. A map is displayed with me at the center. The nearby road is extended. I think this is the road Im on. When I scroll down the road, there is a town to the west. Lets seerifuretto? So, the town of Refuretto.

Alright, lets go that way.

I check the direction with the compass app and begin walking west.

After walking for quite some time, I start to think that this is a pretty bad situation.

First of all, there is no food. There is no water either. Even if I arrive at the town, after that? I have no money. I have a wallet, but can this currency really be used? If you think logically, this probably cant be used. What shall I do now?

While walking absentmindedly, I hear a sound from behind. I look back and see something in the distance approaching. Is thata carriage? This is the first time I saw a carriage. I hope somebody could let me get on

To have first contact right after coming to another world, but the question is what to do. The carriage stopped? Please give me a ride. I might be turned away so I decide to quit. Why?

As the carriage approaches, I discover that the carriage is remarkably high class. Gorgeous craftsmanship and a solid build. I am certain only a noble or rich person can ride one.

How to stop such a person Insolent fellow! You will be punishedHowever it sounds unbearable. I give way to the carriage approaching from behind and move to the side.

The carriage rattles and raises a dust cloud while it passes by me. Having passed by without trouble, I go back on the road. As I start walking, I notice the carriage stopping.

You You over there

The carriage door slams open and a white haired gentleman with a splendid moustache appears. Wearing a stylish scarf and mantle, on his chest was a shining rose brooch.

What is it

While the gentleman with a excited look approaches me, in the corner of my mind, I say OhI understand the languageand I am relieved.

My shoulders are firmly grasped and my whole body is being stared at.

Tell me where you got these clothes

Huh

For a moment, I am dumbfounded and didnt understand what he said, but the moustache gentleman moves around me unconcerned, taking a good look at my school uniform that Im wearing.

I have not seen such a designAnd this sewinghow on earthHmmm

I understand somehow. In short, this uniform is rare. Perhaps this world doesnt have such clothes. Well, if thats so.

If you like it, shall I give it to you

Really

To my proposal, the moustache gentleman vigorously takes the bait.

These clothes were sold to me from a traveling merchant, but Ill hand it over if you like it. However, itll be troublesome if I sold everything Im wearing. So in the next town, Ill be grateful if I receive different clothing

I cant say that these clothes are from another world, so I made up a list of excuses. If these clothes were sold for some money, Ill be saved. I did not want to attract attention, so perhaps this is killing two birds with one stone.

Very well! Please get on the carriage. I will give you a ride to the next town. And there, I will prepare you some new clothes and youll sell those clothes to me.

Then, this deal is complete.

The moustache gentleman and I firmly shake hands. I get a ride on the carriage and it was three hours of shaking till the next town, Rifuretto. Meanwhile, the gentleman with the moustache (who seems to be called Zanakku-san) accepts the jacket of the uniform that I take off and confirms the feel of the seam with great interest.

Zanakku-san is in the fashion business and was on his way back from a meeting today. I see that when my clothes are involved, that reaction is understandable.

Speaking of me, I am enjoying the scenery that was passing by the window of the carriage. To see a different world. From now on, this is my new world.
