Chapter 1:Hello, New World

When I came to my senses I was inside a dimly lit room.

Im Kato Toshiaki, an old boy, age 32.

As usual, I drive my car while smoking a cigarette.

As usual, I drink my coffee at the intersection with a long wait signal.

Right after that..

What didnt go as expected was..

Suddenly, the ringing of an early earthquake warning was heard.

The shaking was so violent that I could feel it even from inside the car.

My surroundings were filled with the screams of people who jumped out of their cars.

Whoa! Are you serious!? Another earthquake!? Wheres the epicenter for this one!?

I, as well, left the car and sat-down on the ground, waiting for the shaking to stop.

Or thats how it should have been..

And then, when I came to my senses, I was inside this dimly lit room.

Checking my surroundings

There are about 10 people here, from young to old.

Therewere also some white-haired individuals and it wouldnt be wrong to assume they were old people.

But what was the strangest thing about this whole situation was the fact that we were all naked.

In normal circumstances, looking at the bare skin of young women is something that one would gratefully accept.

Im an ordinary man after all!

However, in such a strange situation you cant merely enjoy the view.

It is clearly an abnormal situation.

Just imagine.

One day, you find yourself in a 20 tatami mats room, dimly lit, alongside other 10 or so individuals of different ages, all naked. It is NOT normal!

Ssomething is happening, right? This..

All I could do was mutter to myself.

Ffor the time being, since there are also young people around here. All women should gather over there. All men come over here. As much as possible, dont look at the other party! This is the sensible thing to do.

The one who did the dividing was an old man with gray hair.

An old woman, who might have been his wife, was talking to the girls while gently stroking their heads.

The young women were crying.

Its such an abnormal situation.

The fear and embarrassment of having their naked bodies gazed upon, its too much for them to handle.

Everyone listened to the old gentleman and separated into two groups, but, as one could easily guess, it was very stimulating for the young males and their eyes kept flickering towards the womens group.

It would have still been all right if only for the looking..

Say, since were already in such a situation, we will probably get killed by terrorists, right?

A man in his 20s.

So he started, his appearance would be, in normal circumstances, truly herbivorous.

It seems so. If well all get killed by terrorists anyway..

A teen boy started to speak as well.

Terrorists?

Before one could actually notice, the fact that well get killed by terrorists was already confirmed, it seems.

Terrorists, huh..They expressly stripped us of our clothes and locked us in this room. Moreover, it happened in the midst of an earthquakeWhat sort of advantage could terrorists take by locking their prisoners, their hostages all in one room, regardless of gender or age?

While I was lost in thought, the two men, disregarding the other guys restraint, were approaching the womens group, wearing broad grins on their faces.

Hey, you! What are!?

The old woman, seeming to want to protect the girls, was shouting in front of the two men.

Ban!

It was simultaneous with her screaming.

The door was slammed roughly and two people wearing armors and helmets, who looked like some sort of European knights, started entering the room.

Wwhat the hell do you

Something shined brightly.

Before the first lecher was able to finish his line, shining lights could be seen from the direction of the knights hands.

Low-life individuals who wont even help their fellow brethren and who try to assault weak women are needless to us.

Tthey killed them

One had his head cut right in half.

If one would survive this, they would be either zombies or gods or such.

Kyaaa.uwaaa.hiiii.

The knights began their speech regardless of all the noises and interjections in the background.

It is not our interest to kill or harm you without a reason. But we have no intention to spare the lives of fiends, like these two guys. For now, youll leave this room and follow us.

They announced coldly and left the room.

Eeveryone is probably confused, but for the time being it seems like a good idea not to disobey those guys. Lets follow them.

Resting on the old gentleman, the women were crying

The men, while shaking, were trying to get up.

You havent even flinched while witnessing such a terrible scene. Police? Self-defense forces? You sure have a strong stomach!

The old gentleman approachesme.

No, Im in the uninteresting sales business.

I answered with a smile.

Oh! A salesman. Well, with someone reliable as you around here everyone will feel a little bit more at ease.

Hahaha! Please dont expect too much!

After I gave my modest answer, the old gentleman left the room followed by everyone else.

Erm! Arent you leaving?

One of the women addressed me.

Ah! I will leave last. You should all go ahead. Ill come too after I finish this last thing.

The woman left the room while nodding her head in understanding

Well now..

I was scared shitless and wet myself a little

Ill catch up with everyone once Im done cleaning myself.

I was sure as hell scared to death!
