"Ouch!" I reflexively screamed after the somewhat unpleasant feeling of the scorching sunlight came through my whole body.

I immediately looked around to take shelter from the sun and found a whole abundance of tree shades. I ran quickly toward it while having an unpleasant wind coming right through me.

After I finally avoided the burning sunlight by taking a break under a tree as it covered pleasant shades around me, I quickly composed myself by allowing my lungs to take a deep breath or two to finally relax my tiredness from running before.

I identified my body thoroughly to see if anything changed from my previous life. There was particularly nothing that really felt different from before except for a few things, one thing that stood out to me the most was the absurd situation that I was currently in right now which would never occur in my previous life in public.

"Why am I naked?!" I yelled out without any real reason, perhaps to leash out my frustration at the current scene before me.

After the initial shock from the obscene situation that befall me, I once again calmed my mind as I tried to remember the last bit of memories I had with Sekai-chan. According to her, I was supposed to have half a universe inside me, whatever that means.

I once again observed my whole body while ignoring the naked aspect of it. Nothing really changed from my previous life, I still have my dull long black hair that I barely took care of.

"It hurts!" I tried to pinch my cheek as hard as I could, yet all it did was it caused me unnecessary damage to my precious cheek. It seemed like there was nothing that changed from my body. It feels just like how it used to be from my previous life.

I took a deep breath. Although nothing changes physically, I could sense knowledge slowly but surely crept up into my mind. The entirety of the universe I used to live in, atoms, quarks, protons, electrons and even deeper than that.

"Hold on a moment! Stop that right now!" I screamed to myself. An outsider seeing me would probably see a perverted young adult doing some kind of foreplay in the middle of nowhere, however I couldn't care less about that right now.

The moment I yelled that, the flow of information stopped. I sighed in relief, although the knowledge of what I would receive is something useful as it contains all the lifeforms knowledge inside the universe I was in, I'm not interested in knowing all the details about all of that. I just wanted to make some friends and have some entertainment from this world.

I sighed deeply to express my disgust to something I just learned before I cut off the information of my previous universe, a planet with the entirety of its surface full of tentacles apparently existed as it wriggles around to fuel its energy to keep the planet warmth and humid enough, keeping the tentacles alive.

"Anyway that's not important right now!" I said to myself as I tried to recap what I know as of right now. First off, I was in a different universe than my previous life. Therefore, chances are multiverses exist, although I don't really feel the need to visit other universes. Second, I was completely naked, I should probably do something about that.

"Magical girl, transform!" I chanted a spell to change my naked self into a presentable young woman, wearing a middle school uniform with shoes that I had worn during my middle school year.

Although it was a bit embarrassing to wear this as a young adult, It felt oddly comforting to wear. As I recall the information I got from half the universe inside me, it seemed that I could do almost everything I could imagine.

I look around my surroundings to see a lush forest filled with flora and fauna. I walked around to see if I could find something, like a village or a city. Although I could just use my power to detect and teleport into it, that sounded quite dull, so I figured I only need to use my power to bare minimum.

"That being said, it's exhausting to walk so much..." I sighed while uncomfortably walking toward the deep forest. My body felt the same as it used to be, completely unathletic and tiring. Although I can just choose to not have fatigue, it doesn't sit right with me, I wouldn't want to lose what it meant to be a human.

I walked for less than two hours without any real destination until I finally couldn't take it anymore, so I found a plain meadow and sat down there as the sun reached afternoon.

"This is exhausting..." I muttered without any strength, the sound doesn't reach anyone but I feel contempt when talking to myself alone. Although it was a little lonely without any digital gadget to distract myself.

"Are you okay...?" A unique yet adorable voice rang out as I looked back to find its owner.

An adorable little girl the size of an elementary student walked up to me shyly. Her voice was shaky, while her ragged clothes barely covered her scarred body as it's filled with wounds, and some looked fresh too.

"Adorable..." I sneakily muttered to myself, though she probably heard it as her ears flinched hearing my comment, however her ears didn't look human, they looked like mouse ears, big and fluffy.

Her neck was locked up by a scary looking collar, and her hands were covered with tough looking bracelets on each of her hands, no, those were handcuffs with awkward looking chains that seemed to connect, however the chains in question looked broken as it no longer held her hands tied up together.

She reached her hand out to me. Her hands were filled with bruises that looked completely fresh as a small bit of blood could be seen dripping out from her hands. However, that didn't stop her kind yet awkward smile to bring warmth to my inner heart.

You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

"Hold on! That's my line, are YOU okay?" As soon as I said that, the girl stopped walking, and a few moments later she collapsed.

"Where am I...?" said the mouse girl while lying down as she tried to look around her surroundings. I could simply stroke her hair as her head was laying down on my lap.

"Hello there," I gave a warm smile as I kept on patting her while she lay down. Her expression looked pale however she didn't look uncomfortable from all the pat that I gave her, rather she looked comfy about it.

I continued on patting her without any sign of stopping as I gave her a lap pillow. Her hair tickled a little bit of my thigh, while her adorable expression on being pat was something I could watch forever.

"Um, who are you?" The mouse girl broke the silence as she asked with a curious expression.

"I'm Yuzu, I'm just a college student," I said it with a casual tone just like how I used to talk back on earth, however she could only give a blank confused stare at my reply.

She closed her eyes for a few moments, Her body was pushed to its very limit as I could feel how stiff her hand was after I tried to hold it, the girl's complexity didn't look good as her eyes squeezed in pain.

"Hold on, let me heal you with a magic spell," I said softly to soothe her, she looked calm and her eyes sparkled with an admiring look as her tail wiggled around.

"Are you a witch, miss?" The girl questioned, which I replied by simply shaking my head. She looked quite confused at my response.

"Pain, pain, go away!" I said it with a brimming charm that didn't really mean or do anything as I held her hand to ease her pained expression. She smiled at my words and chuckled. The way she laughed was so adorable that I couldn't stop smiling.

A few moments later she stopped laughing, and suddenly hugged me with all of her force, but it was a weak one. Her hands could barely follow her command as she continued to embrace me.

It was all too sudden for me to react, so I could only awkwardly hug her back in response while patting her. A small yet weak sound could be heard from her, her tears started to swell and her trembling voice cracked as she cried out.

"I... I don't want to die!" The girl yelled out loudly as she continued to cry.

The surrounding nature could be heard as the birds suddenly left the area from us as it startled their resting places. I could see some rustling bushes caused by some deers leaving the area.

The girl continued to weep until she finally stopped hugging me as she smiled. She tried to stand up, but her legs gave up. I quickly caught her before she fell.

"There, there," I said while cuddling her, this time I tried to treat her wounds by simply thinking about it. Slowly but surely all of her bruises, even the one that looked like old scars surrounding her body disappeared as her skin gained the same smoothness as mine. There weren't any traces of old wounds that could be seen anywhere from her.

The girl could only stare blankly as the event transpired before her, her mouse ears twitched intensely as her eyes were filled with colorful emotion, she couldn't keep up anymore as she slowly sank into a deep slumber of sleep.

Her body couldn't keep up after being awake for consecutives days, the sun was setting down, and although I had a lot of questions for her, there was always tomorrow so I would simply just wait until then.

Even then, the current area wasn't an ideal place to sleep as it was filled with a ton of bugs and grass. Considering I was an introvert who couldn't sleep without a bear plushie and my own comfortable bed, sleeping here is out of the question, so I simply just made a bedroom based on my previous life and slept there with the mouse girl.

We slept for quite a long time until the sun rose, however I couldn't find the will to open my eyes even though I was awake and kept on hugging my precious plushie.

"Um... Miss Yuzu, you're hugging too tightly..." An adorable voice could be heard from my plushie, I slowly opened my eyes and saw a flushed expression of a mouse girl with a reddened cheek as her ears twitched.

I refused to let go and kept on cuddling with her. She seemed troubled at first, yet her right hand suddenly moved to pat my head. The behavior of her adorable gesture just made me want to keep on holding onto her, however I let go of myself after seeing outside the window as it indicated a sunny day waiting outside the room.

"Um, th-thank you miss Yuzu," said the mouse girl shyly, with a gracious smile on her expression. It was the most relieved and genuine smile I've seen from her.

I suddenly held her hand and took her outside. She looked surprised, however she didn't look uncomfortable.

"Let's go play in a pond!" I reached out to her in excitement to take her to a nearby pond that I came across yesterday to drink. The sunlight welcomed us as I took down the room we were in with a simple snap of a finger.

The girl looked amazed after seeing the room she slept in disappear immediately, however she suddenly had changed her expression with a fear as she stared toward the forest with a scared expression in her eyes.

"Are you okay?" I asked her with a concerned look, in which she could only nod with a hesitation and continue on saying "it's nothing" as she walked with me side by side whilst holding my hand.

She occasionally stared at her neck that was bound by a collar. Although the wounds were gone, her appearance still looked unkempt and horrible and her clothes were ragged while her hair was a mess. Even then, that didn't affect her charmful smile one bit.

We finally arrived at our destination, she stared down the river as I undressed myself to wash myself in the pond. The girl's cheeks reddened as she saw me undressed. I waited for her to follow suit however she only twitched her ears adorably.

I couldn't take the awkward silence so I simply just took off her ragged clothes that barely covered her in the first place. Needless to say, she looked completely adorable as her shy hands tried to cover her expression. There was still a scary looking collar and her handcuffs ruining her pure self.

"Hold on for a moment" I said and touched the collar. Just like that, the collar that bound her disappeared as if it never existed in the first place. I did the same with her handcuffs, now she was completely free from whatever was holding her off.

She observed my action in silence, and suddenly burst into tears as she hugged me. Her crying face was so cute that I couldn't help but smile. I reached out my hand to guide her to the pond and she understood my gesture as she held my hand to follow me.

We simply splashed each other with the pond water. Her body that was covered with dirt and other filthy stuff was cleansed by the pond water. However, her hair is still a mess. And as someone who lived comfortably in a modern world, I couldn't just live without the convenience of shampoo and soap, so I simply made it appear out of thin air and washed her with it.

She looked confused about the items that I brought, nonetheless she simply stayed put as I washed her hair. After that was done, she looked completely different from the first time we met, her adorableness just increased by tenfold. As the sun almost reached noon, we stopped playing and left the pond.

Her appearance was suitable for a fine young lady, but she was still missing an attire. Her young look and petite figure made me want to see her in an elementary school uniform, though I scrapped that idea completely, and made her a simple outfit that I wore during my life on earth.

With a flick of a finger, she was covered with a casual modern outfit that was easy to move around. She was startled at first, but a few moments later she spun around in excitement after seeing her new outfit. She looked at me with the brightest smile I've ever seen in my life.
