2 # 2 Awakening, and another world.




 I woke up and saw the sky.
 The clouds are slowly drifting away and I can hear the birds chirping from somewhere.
 I get up. There is no pain. I get up and look around me and see mountains and grasslands, and I feel like I'm in the countryside.
Is this another world?



 I see a large tree in the distance. I wondered if the one near it was the road.

I wonder if I can meet someone if I follow the path for now?

 I decided to do so and started walking towards the large tree in front of me. Eventually the path comes into view. This is indeed a path.

'Well, which way to go, but...'

 At the base of a large tree, you're wondering whether to go to the right or left hand side. Hmmm, I don't want to get in trouble if I take the right hand side and arrive in town in an hour, or if I take the left hand side and arrive in town in eight hours... As I was pondering this, my phone in my inside pocket suddenly rang.
 I took it out and looked at it and saw the words "Incoming call God".

Hello?
Oh, I've got it. I've got it. Looks like you made it.

 When I put the speaker part to my ear, I could hear God's voice. Even though we just broke up a while ago, it feels nostalgic.

I forgot to mention that your smartphone, the maps and directions have been changed to your world's specifications. Please make use of it.
'Really? Well, it was a big help, though. I was just getting lost.
I knew it. I knew it," he said. "I could have dropped you off across town, but I didn't want you to make a scene. I chose a secluded spot, but that would leave me at a loss as to where to go.
Yeah, well,

 I reply with a wry smile. I certainly have no place to go. I don't have a home and I don't know anyone.

I don't have a hometown and I don't know anyone. Then good luck.
Yes. Well,

 When I hung up the phone, I controlled the screen of my phone and launched the map app. A map appears with you in the center. The road stretched out beside me. This would be this road below my feet. If I change the scale, there's a town at the end of the road, to the west. Um...riffle? A riffle town.

All right, well, let's get on our way.

 I checked the direction on the compass app and started walking west.



 After walking for a while, I started to think that the situation was pretty bad.
 First of all, I had no food. No water. And if we did get to town, then what? I have no money. I have a wallet, but can you use our currency? It's not going to work in a normal way. Now what to do....
 As I was walking around in a daze, I heard a sound coming from behind me. When I turned around, I could see something coming towards me from a distance. That's...a carriage. I've never seen a carriage before. Perhaps someone is riding in it, but....
 This is the first time I've been in another world and this is the first contact I've had with it, but what should I do? Stop the carriage? Let me ride. That might be an option, but I've decided not to. Why?
 Because the closer we got to the carriage, the more we realized that it was a very expensive thing. The gleaming workmanship and heavy construction. Without a doubt, it is the ride of a nobleman or a rich person.
 You can't stop such a person and say, "Rude! He's going to make a handful of them! It would be a shame if it were not. I gave way to a carriage approaching from behind and huddled toward the edge.
 The carriage passed in front of me with a rattle and a cloud of dirt. Having saved myself the trouble, I got back on the road and was about to start walking when I noticed that the carriage had stopped.

'You! You there!

 A gentleman with white hair and a fine beard came out of the carriage door with a bang. He wore a fancy scarf and cloak, and a rose brooch gleamed on his chest.

''What is it...?''

 In a corner of my mind, I was relieved to see the gentleman coming towards me with a look of excitement, "Oh, I can get through to you," I said in a corner of my mind.
 He grabs me by the shoulders firmly and stares at my body as he licks around. Eh, what is this? Is it a bad situation?

''Hey, where did you get these clothes?
What?

 For a moment, I didn't understand what he was saying, and I lost my temper, but without regard to me, the bearded gentleman turned around, sideways, and looked at the school uniform I was wearing, scrutinizing it with a steady stream of scrutiny.

It's a design I've never seen before. And this sewing....how in the world did it come about.... Hmmm.........

 I'm starting to get it. In short, this uniform is unusual. Perhaps there are no such clothes in this world. And if there are.

''........If you'd like, I can give it to you?
Are you sure?

 The bearded gentleman bites into my proposal with great vigor.

''These clothes were sold to me by a traveling merchant, but I'll give them to you if you'd like. However, I don't want you to sell everything you wear, so I'd appreciate it if you could get me another outfit in the next town...

 I can't tell you that these are clothes from another world, so I'm going to lay out the excuses I came up with. It will help if these clothes sell and make some money. It would also be less conspicuous and maybe kill two birds with one stone.

''Very well! Get in the carriage. I will give you a ride to the next town. Then I will have your new clothes ready for you there, and then you can sell them to me.
So I guess we have a deal.

 The bearded gentleman and I exchanged a firm handshake. He gave me a ride in his carriage and we were rocked for three hours to the next town, Rivlet. During this time, the bearded man, apparently called Mr. Zanuck, receives my uniform jacket and examines it with great interest, inspecting its texture and seams.
 Mr. Zanuck said he works in the field of dressmaking and was returning from the meeting today. If you're involved in the clothing industry, it's not surprising that you had that reaction.
 I was enjoying the scenery flowing through the carriage window. A world I had never seen before. From now on, this is my world.
