Interlude 7: Somehow, I got isekai’ed... again.
Trial world, afternoon.
As I leisurely on the street with a cup of milk tea in my hand, I notice a little kid crossing the street recklessly. If this follows a template, then a truck will soon appear out of nowhere and threaten to hit that child, but some dude will probably jump in before that and save the day.
Either that or the dude will get hit instead. The latter is more popular nowadays, actually.
''...''
Wait, there's actually a truck coming.
Before anything can happen, I coolly teleport in front of the kid and use telekinesis to stop the truck from moving further. Flicking her forehead once, I start my rant.
''Do you know how dangerous it is to run like that?''
''S-Sis, I—''
''What if I wasn't here, huh?''
After a while, the kid eventually apologizes to me and the driver, who has come down to check the situation.
''Thank you, pretty sis!''
''Ei, go home properly.''
The moment I am about to take another sip of the milk tea, my vision suddenly goes completely black. It takes my mind another few seconds to realize what is going on... and then panic ensues.
What happened?
As the minutes go by, anxiety begins to build up within me. Is something wrong with this trial world?
Wait, maybe something happened to my body...? Did something attack Eva?
''Oh.''
The next instant, my vision is restored.
Blue sky, white clouds. I somehow find myself lying naked amidst a sea of flowers.
Aside from the fact that my clothes are gone... something is clearly wrong with this scene. Just a bit, there's this sense of... incompleteness.
Nevertheless, I rise to my feet and begin to look around. This flower field is surrounded by a thick forest, one that seems dangerous right at first glance. I'll probably need to gain altitude to observe further.
''Hm?''
Right then, I sense a few presences approaching this place. Three people.
''...''
''...''
My eyes meet theirs.
The first to move are them.
A young, flat-chested elf with green twin tails slowly walks toward me. Trailing behind her is one orange-haired priestess who probably has cat ears under that hat and one noble-looking mage lady with red hair.
''What will we do now?''
Nevertheless, I ask. I don't know what is what anymore, but... I guess this will suffice for now.
''Of course, we'll aim to defeat the demon king!''
The demon king, huh.
Somehow, I am on a journey to defeat the demon king... even though I already was doing that before coming here. Still, is it a relief that my companions are still people I know?
So, unable to find a way out, I begin the adventure to defeat the demon king with slightly different partners. Through many months and years of traveling the world, even if we haven't found Emy and Sariel, or Eva for that matter, I have started to feel a special bond with these three.
Before long, we have made it as the official 'hero' party, standing before the demon king's castle.
...Wait, isn't this development going too fast?
''Let's go in!''
Okay, no, look. I can swear I was just standing naked on a flowerbed—
''Kuh...! As expected of the evil dragon Sariel!''
''Liana, we can do this!''
''That's right! Tina and I got your back!''
S-Sariel?? Why are you on the demon king's side?!
Hey, wait! Stop fighting—
''So you have come, o heroes.''
''Indeed, despicable demon king... Emilia!''
''She looks so imposing...''
''Those sharp golden eyes give me chills.''
...
You know, I wonder why I didn't expect this. I really do.
At some point, I just kinda... give up.
''...Huh?''
Snapping my eyes open, the usual ceiling greets me. Taking a quick look around, I see that this is indeed my bedroom in the trial world.
I am still naked, but my whole harem is also staying naked with me. My memories are blurry, but judging from the stains on the bedsheet, last night must have been quite intense.
''...''
Was that all a dream?
It felt so real, though.
...Whatever. It's morning. Let's suck some dicks first.
