Ch. 1: An Unexpected Incident
Daten in the Land of Magical Science, Month of Air…-
The town was filled with the glow of neon lights, almost like stars…
Sky: "I didn’t get a chance to thank you for wakin’ me up. Sorry bout that. So would you mind comin’ out to meet me for a bit?"
I had received a letter from Sky saying as much, and had arrived in his home of Daten, in the Land of Magical Science.
It looks like where I used to live.
The modernity of the town made me think back to the world I had come from.
This brings back memories.
I gazed intently around the town as I walked, and suddenly a car came to an abrupt stop in front o me.
Mysterious Man: "Got me a pretty lady! You’ll fetch a high price."
W-who…!?
A man’s face appeared from inside the car as he grabbed me to pull me in.
OO: "Stop…!"
I was about to yell in surprise when…
??: "Hey, get your filthy hands off. If you don’t, I’ll blow your head off."
A low voice came from directly behind me.
??: "You the one who’s been grabbin’ women and children off the streets lately?"
Turning behind me, I saw Sky aiming a gun at the man holding me.
Sky: "Yo."
OO: "Sky…!"
The man who had grabbed me had already let go and raised both his hands up in a sign of surrender. It was then that I noticed the pair of large skull earrings he had as they flashed and seemed to stare at me ominously.
Mysterious Man: "Damn…"
Sky’s glare seemed to frighten the man, and he gunned his car and sped off.
Sky: "Hey, hold it!"
Sky aimed his gun at the car.
OO: "…!"
It’s so loud…!
The bullet hit the back of the car, but even if it had surprised the driver, he didn’t stop and the car vanished.
Sky: "Dammit! I’ll get you next time for sure!"
Sky shouted the threat over his shoulder, and I rushed to thank him.
OO: "Um, thank you for that…-"
Sky: "What the hell!? That was dangerous! Don’t just go standin’ there starin’ off into space! You almost got kidnapped!!"
OO: "I-I’m sorry!!"
Sky: "N-no. My bad, for putting you in that situation. So, long time no see."
Sky grinned as he spoke.
That smile was the start of something I couldn’t even begin to imagine, something that had to do with Sky and the bustling downtown.
