“Oi! Mikan!!! Don’t ignore me! Mnnnn” groaned Hina while running towards me and Hana.

As Hina was trying to catch up with me and Hana she got lost along the way. Wandering around some stalls, I saw a hair accessory that is similar to what I use back when I was in middle school. Apparently, that accessory was a brown hairpin that has a small amber like jewel in the middle of the dangling strap that looks like it was woven by hand.

“Like what you see deary?” The old lady approached me with a smile.

“Ah no, I just think that this is a pretty hairpin.”

“Now, now, You don’t have to be so modest. Since you’re a cute and honest girl I’ll give you a discount for it, the person who sold me that hairpin told me that hairpin contains a beast that has been sealed for almost 300 years.”

As the old lady told me the history of this hairpin, I somehow feel guilty of not getting this even though I just started playing the game. My face was full of doubt and the next thing I knew, Hana bought the hairpin and decided to place it on the side of my bangs.

“E-eh?! Hana since when did you- how much does this pin cost a-anyway?!“

“35 golds my dear, but for you, I’ll sell it for 25 golds.”

“Don’t worry about it Bea-senpai, think of it as thanks for saving me earlier. Plus, it really looks good on you!!” Hana exclaimed while giving off a bright smile.

Seeing Hana smile, my heart suddenly became tight and my body decided to move on its own hugging Hana tightly. Speaking of Hana, though she resembles her features from the game, her outward appearance in real life differed slightly. Her hair was braided into one while a thick strand of hair being loose on one side of her head.

The clothes she was wearing was similar to a witch’s dress, but a few changes were made to it. The back of her robe had a layer of frills and in the front, she wore a pleated skirt followed by an asymmetrical sock that the other one is longer than the other along with brown boots to compliment everything.

“Come to think of it where’s Hina? I still need to ask her on what this world is and why did I end up in this body.” I calmly said to Hana while pinching her cheeks.

“Pwetty swuure bwig shis wiw fwind us evwentuwawy, shpwikwing of thwe dwevil thwere she is now~” pointing at the direction of where Hina is charging towards us making an extremely worried face.

“Eh?! Ahem, oh my, where did you went off to Hina?”

“I-I should be asking you that, you even kidnapped my little sister. I may be energetic, but I used up all my magic in just searching for you guys.” She grabbed onto my shoulder to catch her breath as she pants.

Looking from where she appeared I saw plenty of cracks on the ground and some debris, some people were staring at us again, I thought to myself. “Do we really stand out to much?”

“L-let’s rest on the bench over there for a bit, shall we?”

As the three of us towards to the central bench, I slowly supported Hina in sitting down the on the bench. After a while, she slowly getting herself back together again, but her face still looks pale, maybe it’s because of her mana deficiency.

“How are you doing big sis? Here have a mana potion, it will help you replenish the mana that you have lost.”

Hana hurriedly took out a mana potion out of her bag and gave it to Hina for her to drink. The potion that Hana gave is somehow close to a high-tier grade, after drinking the potion I was surprised that Hina immediately returned to her cheerful self.

“I never knew that you guys suddenly left me alone like that.” Pouting and flailing her arms around as if she was a little kid.

“S-sorry, I acted out of reflex again,” I said remorsefully. “By the way, what kind of game is this and why do I look like I’m a deity of some shrine?”

“Oh right, I was about to mention what’s this game all about, but somebody decided to ditch me. And your payment for that will be-“

“Payment? What payment???” I slightly jumped off my sit. “eEEK!”

Hina’s eyes sparkled as she suddenly hugged my tail like a sloth, and of course, Hana joined in as well.

“Big sis no fair!! I want to hug Bea-senpai’s tail too!”

“eEEEKK!!! W-wait!!! STOOPP!!”

Being fed up with Hina’s playfulness, a nerve appeared at the side of my head and I flicked her forehead so hard that the sound of my finger can be heard from across the street.

“Ow!”

“serves you right, hmph!” I crossed my arms and looked away.

Hina’s forehead showed a red spot as a result of the heavy impact of my finger.

“Ahaha, Jokes aside, first of all, this world is called ‘Mnemosyne’ and it’s divided into 5 major countries, those countries are named, Urania, Terpsichore, Calliope, Clio, and the Capital being Polyhymnia.”

“Oh, so the countries names are based on the nine Greek muses? But what happened to the other four?”

“Those 4 Goddesses decided that they wanted their own cities instead, so except for the Goddess who is in the Capital, the other 8 Goddesses are paired up and working together in order to see if everything goes well.”

“Does that mean people worship two Goddesses in that country?”

“Yup.” Hina winked and did a fingergun “and right now, we’re at the beginning area here in Calliope, there’s not much to see here,, just a bunch of shops that’s usually sells beginner to intermediate equipments and materials. As for your appearance the system decides on the players appearance by reading their memories of the first and third dream job that they want to have.”

“I see.” Still confused, I hugged Hana and patted her head while listening to Hina. “And what about my appearance?”

“The way your appearance has been selected, it is based from the opposite of your personality, I must say it really is accurate.”

“Do you want to get flicked in the forehead again?” I said in a monotoned voice.

“Please no.” Hina instantly covered her forehead, apparently, she can still feel her forehead thumping from the flick before.

Right now, it’s about mid-day inside the game while it has been 30 mins since I started the game.

“7:00 pm huh,” I said to myself quietly.

“Hmm? What’s wrong Bea-senpai.” Questioned Hana.

“Oh nothing, speaking of which even though I ate dinner earlier I suddenly felt hungry, why’s that?” I asked while touching my stomach.

“Oh, that’s part of the game since it’s not fair if we don’t starve or get dirty here. Many NPC’s here also follow the general guidelines of development. Come, there’s an inn nearby, let’s go there so we can replenish our hunger. After that, we will go to the guild so we can register you as an adventurer.”

“O-okay, come Hana let’s go” I lifted Hana very slowly,

I’m shocked that Hana is very light here in the game, maybe it has something to do with my status.

“Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention, judging by how you look, you seem to be an exorcist. You can check your info by going to your status window.”

As Hina spoke, she raised her hand against herself and swiped from her elbow down to her wrist. A window suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

“I must say, that’s a weird way of opening a status window.”

“Well, I’m just doing it for fun. Everyone here has their own way of opening their status window since, in other games that only use a one-stroke system, pk players cut off the victim’s arm or control them with mind-manipulation magic to steal stuff.”

“How unfortunate…” I suddenly felt squirmish after hearing all that and placed my hand over my mouth.

“How about you Bea-senpai? Can I see your status window?” Hana said with excitement in her eyes.

“Sure, after we’re done eating at the inn, my hunger level is pretty low and if this was in the real world, my stomach will be loud as a lion’s roar, ahahah…” I said to Hana jokingly.

“Oh, here’s the inn, let’s get inside so we can eat.” Hina pointed up at the signboard.

“Finally, food I can’t wait for my hunger to go away.” I said to myself while crying tears of joy.

A loud crash is suddenly heard from inside the bar.
