Hey guys~

This one is a short chapter so I can post this one quicker than I thought. Actually I wrote this a few weeks ago and this was a content for much, much later update but I decided to post it sooner. As I said, I already wrote 2 long chapter(which I probably will divide into 10 or less smaller chapter each to post here) and working on the third. This one is included on the third. It's just a small interlude but, enjoy~.

-Takeharu’s perspective-

Shou was gone…

What just happened?

He got hit by electric spark and then… gone..? Where does he gone to?

To make the matter worse, now in front of me there’s this big muscular bull almost 3 meter tall carrying an axe. And he is standing on its two foot!

“The hell, how can he stand like a human?!” would be the words Shou spat out the first thing if he’s seeing this.

If I remember right, this thing resembles ‘Minotaur’ from fantasy themed game… why is this thing here? Am I dreaming?

“Not good…”

The Minotaur lifted its axe seeming to be ready to strike me anytime soon.

Am I going to die?

As I was in confused state, the Minotaur swung its axe to me. All I can do was to shut my eyes from fear. Just right before the axe hit me, I feel like many things go through my head.

*Slash*

I heard the sound of meat being slashed apart. God, that sounds really painful.

Hmm, wait. Why I don’t feel any pain? Is it safe to open my eyes?

And that moment when I opened my eyes… it really burned into my mind.

An elegant long light brown hair flowed in the air.

A beautiful and determined face, shiny amber eyes. Noble and sturdy looking clothes with a cloak that compliments it. Feminine and attractive body that conceal unbelievable strength behind it.

Her hand holding a sword that she probably just swung to kill the Minotaur. Everything of it looks slowed down in front of my eyes.

I was saved… This beautiful woman just saved me.

I and Shou know well who she is. Just like the Minotaur, she came from a game. She is the protagonist’s support, she’s also an important character in the game while the protagonist is a character that can we customize at will.

I stayed in my position, burning the image into my eyes. The Minotaur cleanly cut into two, yet the figure in front of me stay elegantly beautiful.

If Shou was here, how would he react? Probably not much different from me.

She offered her hands to me.

“Are you okay?”

“Oh… yeah. I’m okay. Thanks”

“Don’t mention it. It’s great that you’re not harmed.”

She said it with a graceful smile towards me.

God! That one was a strike to my heart.

“Are you by a chance..? The chosen one?”

“Huh?” with the sudden question from her, I was caught off guard.

Wait a bit, let’s think for a while… Me? The chosen one? Is this girl okay? Hey, you realized that you just helped me from that Minotaur right?

“Now, let us depart! Monster has shown their shelves in this world! Let’s train and defeat them!”

Wait, now that if I recall it. This situation is downright similar with the prologue of the game… wait are you serious? EH~~~?!

“No no no no no. I’m sorry but I can’t! Shou, my friend has just suddenly disappeared. So I--”

“Don’t worry! We’ll search for him while defeating these monsters!”

My opinion was being pushed aside by her huh? And like so, Selia dragged me into thousands mess under the pretense to train and defeat monsters. Seriously, why had it come into this?

Oh, right. Selia is her name.

Thus started my own journey, dragged by Selia against my own will. And the time as for I reunited with my friend, Shou, will be a few weeks after this incident.
