I felt the cold hard ground beneath me, it felt stone cold. Actually maybe it is stone? Yeah, it is stone...should be. The chill of the wind enveloped me like a blanket as it passed through my bare skin. Wait bare, am I naked?
Anyway, I calmed myself and observed my surroundings, it’s some kind of ruin surrounded by thick trees and greenery. You know, the stuff you find in video games? I stood up, it seems that I’m the first to wake up, fufufu now you two know what it feels to be the last one to wake up!!
Hmmm...something definitely feels weird with my body, for starters some things are missing, while some things are added. Anyway, I felt something move behind me.
wiggle wiggle
Hmmm...that’s weird, me, Asao, and Yui are the only people that’s supposed to be here. I stroked my hair in confusion, and felt something unexpected. It was soft and delicate, it felt very fluffy. On instinct I quickly catch the wiggly thing behind me.
How should I explain this? It seems...I have turned into a catgirl? I’m not really surprised considering the Yellow Thing’s tastes. And I’m not very bothered either, it’s like a win-win situation actually. As hard as it may sound I’ve always dreamed for this to happen so...thank you goddess! You’re the best!!
Anyway, these kids are asleep. I point at my two friends lying on the ground with my mind. I puff my chest proudly never will I be the last one to wake up! Actually do I even have a chest to be proud of, I’m pretty flat...and also, I’m kinda smaller?!
Maybe I also look like a kid like these dead bodies lying on the cold cobblestone ground, I point to my two friends using my telepathic hand.
Hmmm...they don’t seem to be waking up any sooner. Might as well explore! So...I saw a door frame, and when I measured myself on it...just thinking about it makes me feel like I have butterflies inside my tum. I really am a kid...this will become bothersome sooner or later! I knew it! That Yellow Thing is making fun of me!!
Huff Puff
Anyway, being naked makes me feel uncomfortable I will have to make at least a type of underwear using vines and leaves, I do a makeshift underwear and put it on, ah...much better now after that I climbed to the second floor of the ruins. I went through the shaky staircase but that didn’t stop me. Although it’s strange, this building seems to be unfinished; there wasn’t a ceiling (You don’t need a ceiling if you’re floor gang), walls, or columns for structural support.
The second floor literally contains nothing so it’s pretty boring...why not be adventurous for once. This time I used a nearby vine to rappel down the wall and go back to the first floor of adventure!!
It seems that Yui is starting to get conscious. She tried to stand up so I rushed to assist her, while being cautious of debri of course. Hey, what are friends for if not for times like this.
I had to look up just to see her face, she’s taller than me...and she’s more ‘gifted’ unlike a certain flat anvil...she had a fluffy gray tail swinging from side to side. She’s probably excited looking at me because I’m a beauty, or...maybe not she’s staring at her voluptuous mountains.
“Hey you, you’re finally awake. You were sleeping because you’re tired right? Same as me, and Asao over there,” I jokingly said with a grin on my face.
Yui as she realize she's naked she blushes with her woofle tail swinging back and forth and covering her lower part.
"Why are we naked!?” Yui says still blushing.
“No idea, but I think the Yellow Thing did it.” I say in retort.
"Anyway, we should get our priorities straight. We might get sick if we continue like this,”
I do a makeshift underwear like mine for Yui and hand it to hear, she relieved puts it on, and stops blushing
I start to approach Asao, I make sure not to look at that thing on his crotch, I put my hands on his shoulders and shake him back and forth vigorously.
If that won’t wake him up I don’t know what will! Anyway, back to topic.
Asao opened his eyes. Finally!! He slept like a log. His face contorts in surprise, he has that glint in his eyes...I dunno why but I slapped him instinctively.
He analyzed the situation eyeing me up and down. Somehow a miraculous hand shaped print appeared on his face out of nowhere, how magical.
Anyway, he still seems confused for some reason as he stood up, pushing me away. How rude!!
“Hey hey, calm down Asao you’re acting as if someone did you wrong, it’s me Shun,” I tried to reprimand him for his bad behavior.
Somehow he sneered at me, with a pissed off looking expression. How rude!! I’ve just woken him up from his sleep so kindly, and yet he repays me with this? Well, since he is my friend I’ll so gracefully let it slide.
I eye him up and down, being cautious is a golden rule among maidens! It seems that Asao is the only one without animal ears...I’m mighty suspicious about him. I squint my eyes in suspicion.
“How can I be sure you’re really who you say you are?” Oohh, that’s a mouthful to say. Now then, I’m starting to get annoyed at Asao, how can he act that way towards his friend?! How can he be rude and suspicious of me?
I heave an internal sigh for my friend, I mean who says that to a young maiden such as me? I won’t act that way towards my friends don’t worry.
“Don’t worry we died and got reincarnated. And we somehow got here,” I tried to explain to him, he’s the type of person who’s so cautious they’d use “Atomic Split Slash” against a level one slime.
“That explains it,” He says squinting his eyes, he still doesn’t seem 100% convinced but I’ll allow it. In any case he seems relieved...I think.
Asao also realize his crotch is exposed, as with me and Yui I made him a makeshift underwear and he still with his suspicious look putted it on, How desconsiderated at least thank me.
“Roll call, Shiina,” I say as I raise my hand.
“I’m here!!” Yui exclaims.
“Here...” Asao says in a less than excited tone.
“Okay, I see everyone is finally here. It took you four minutes to finally wake up,” I say in a gruff manner while crossing my hands. “But that is not why I woke you all up here, we can now start our new lives!!” I cheered with Asao and Yui.
“...oh and we have the slight chance of dying of starvation and sickness,” I said in a low volume while cheering to mask it out.
“What about the risk? We’re currently stranded in a forest in the middle of nowhere.” Asao asks.
“You should be more concerned about us being naked than the risk!! We have to protect our dignity. Follow me in our journey to find civilization!!” I say as I stuck out my thumb in an approving manner.
“Our goal...is...to find roads that lead into civilization,” I say in an overly dramatic tone and pose that looks exactly from a buff dude anime.
“Today is the day...we go through the forest using the sun,” I say as I take an overly dramatic pose pointing to nowhere again, lifting my foot and stepping on a random boulder.
I dunno why, but my friends kind of cringed at my actions...it’s not me right, it’s them? Uhh…
Ahem
“Anyway, normally in mangas you get isekai’d with clothes consciously...hm,” I mumble to myself. “Yellow Thing!! This isn’t the deal!”
“But what’re we gonna do if we find the road?” Asao says in a concerned tone .
“Well, maybe if we have luck, we can say we got lost, and our clothes got wet and ripped, or maybe play dead,” I say sarcastically while climbing a small hill nearby.
“And ya think someone stupid enough exists to fall for that...” Asao says unconvinced.
“Then suggest something better, because I don’t want to be naked any more,” I complained.
Yui patted Asao’s back before interjecting with her own idea. “Hmm...why don’t we try to find civilization first, so we can get some essentials first?”
“Eh?” Asao and I said in unison confused.
A couple of hours had passed from when we were trying to get out of the forest. My legs are starting to hurt...maybe I can ask Asao to carry me? And so I asked Asao to carry me and...he rejected the idea how rude.
“I can’t take it anymore!! My legs are becoming numb...” I complain as I sit on a nearby convenient boulder. I stretched out because why not? I have to rest these strained muscles!
The other side charaーmy friends still seem uncomfortable being naked in the wild. Unlike me of course the main chaーbest friend ever. They have taken a fetal position to try protect their dignity.
Hmm...I’m feeling lazy, I should just rest while my party membeーfriends do all the complicated stuff...how do I incite that...oh!
“So...what do we plan to do from now on?” I try to act naturally and mask the grin in my face.
“The smartest thing to do is find civilization, and the only thing we found was the ruins,” Yui says and then turns to me. “Shiina, did you check the surroundings of the ruins?”
This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.
Ah shoot...what do I say now? I was just adventuring around swinging with the vines and climbing walls…
“I didn’t get the liberty to inspect up close, because you guys woke up earlier than expected,” I tried to convince them.
Yui stares at me while I keep avoiding her gaze. “Are you telling me you never checked the ruins nor its surroundings?” She sounds a bit scary...
“...” I was silenced trying to think of an explanation. “I inspected the second floor but the building seemed unfinished,” I say.
She sighs. “Anyway, if there was any civilization we lost it, we should find something if we keep walking, the thick of the forest is almost over. Something must be nearby,”
“I wanna sleep...maybe we’ll find a house somewhere.” Our group stood up and paced forth. When suddenly…
Yep...that appeared. Why did that appear? Well...I guess isekais do have the clichéd LitRPG elements, so does the logic also apply in real life? Nah, it can’t be. I ignore the window that appeared in my vision and continue moving forward.
“Did you guys also see that?” Asao asks.
“If you mean the level up window then yes,” Yui answered, Asao glanced at my direction and I immediately understood nodding. “If we can level up...then where are our stats?” I ask.
“Maybe it’s like in SA©,” Yui says motioning her right hand swiping in the air vertically.
“Maybe it’s by a command,” I open my mouth and say. “Stats,” But nothing happened.
“This is harder than I thought,” Yui says.
I start to concentrate on finding ways to see my stats. I glance around my friends maybe they can find a way to do it? It seems Asao found a way to open the window!! As his friend I’m very proud of the bastard...I think.

Looking through his stats, I realize that his physical stats look like a certain board game with those dragons and stuff. What’s more impressive is that he has abs?!
“What’s that Skill called〖Appraisal〗that’s already Level 10? It’s the only high level skill I have,” Asao says concerned. “No idea, but if it’s a high level skill then that must mean it’s important,” I say smugly while bluffing my way through, when there’s a high chance the Goddess just added it for fun.
“Anyway,” I say as I separate my face from Asao’s stats. “How did you do it Asao?” Asao closes his stats.
“I just imagined it and said the word Stats in my head” He says innocently. “Yui try it out!”
Yui closes her eyes, a couple of seconds later a black screen similar to the one Asao had appeared in front of her. “There, it wasn’t that hard”

“Wow, your stats are incredible!!” I say in amusement to Yui. “Yeah, I’m a really powerful wizard,” she says in response.
“Also, as it seems you’re the older one, but you have low HP, well, that’s common for a wizard,” I say.
“Then it’s your turn Shiina, show us your stats,” says Yui in excitement.
I close my eyes while I imagine the word Stats in my head and then say it for myself, as I open my eyes I see the same black screen, I start reading it with excitement.

As I saw my stats I...didn’t believe what I was seeing...I’m just...11 years old, what?!
“Wow we can confirm now that you’re a little girl Shiina,” Yui says as she pats my head. ”I’m really mad about being a little girl I have super low HP, and it seems I’m more of a support class than anything elseーwell, at least I’m better at INT and WIS despite being a little girl, I’m much smarter than both of you,” I cut off the negative thoughts and try to be positive for once!
“Well let’s continue” Asao says as he continues walking “the sun is setting, and it will get colder in the night”
