Wait did I actually sold my soul? Does that seem too desperate?

It feels colder now that I actually realized it, but since it’s winter here, maybe it’s somewhere across the globe?

“So uh, Damian, where exactly are we?”

“To think that a lowly peasant such as yourself would dare to address me like that. Interesting.”

The tone of his voice transitioned from a serious tone to a cheerful one. “This makes me feel like we’ve gotten a lot closer~! I’ll give you nicknames, can I? I will!”

“Eugh,” I groaned, “just answer my question dammit.”

“Well Ellie darling~ right now, you are under the roofs of my humble mansion, the Cresian Estate!”

“No, I meant like where where.”

“Well you are currently at the city of Etria, in the glorious Empire of Drachenreich!” He exclaimed, doing this weird pose along with a peace sign in his hand.

And of course, those had to be real actual places that I’ve never heard of.

Empire?! Sure I’ve heard of some kingdoms, but empire?! at this year?! seriously? Maybe I’m in a strange part of Europe..?

“What part of Earth is this…”

“No no, we aren’t on Earth, sweetheart.” He pinched my nose with a wink.

This guy is getting weirder by every passing second, what the heck. Also why does he act as if we’re close friends??

“Uh bro, what the fuck did you just sa-” my sentence was cut off as a loud rumbling erupted, coming from my very own stomach. Wow, so anti-climatic.

“Ah~!” Damian, as the weird dude he is, clasped his hands together with enthusiasm, “It seems our guest is starving! Would you like to go dine with me, or would you rather have food delivered to your room?”

Of course, I responded without hesitations, “well duh, I’d rather eat alone, rather than being with someone who claims that this isn't Earth.”

He chuckled, seemingly mocking my statement, “Very well then. I’ll go inform a maid to bring your dinner here.”

Heading towards the door, as he was about to exit, There was this noticable glint of mischief in his eyes. I swear this guy is bad news.

“Too bad though, I was planning to tell you about more details regarding this world.”

At that moment, the brain cells that were deteriorating seemed to work (just a little bit though.) Did he just say that? This world? Wtf is that supposed to mean.

I have no choiche but to interrogate him for answets eh? Time to unwrap myself from the pile of blankets, “Hold up buddy, I changed my mind.”

----------------------------------------

“Uhhh we’ve been here for five minutes now, where’s the grub?” Out of boredom, I started swinging my feet, with the burning desire of kicking anything.

“Honey, what is a minute?” He asked, and I responded with a strange look Is this guy for real?

“Really? You’re asking me that? Seriously?”

Do of course, just like the not-normal person he is he replied, “Yes, really seriously.”

“A minute is like a measurement of time or something..." I don't know how to define definitions

He clearly didn't understand what I had said as he was stupidly smiling. “Well if you say so, dear.”

“That’s right dude, trust me.”

He didn’t speak another word after that, and only focused on his tea. Wow, talk about awkward!

“Today’s tea is sweet dew, you should try some.”

“Nah, pass. I prefer drinking coffee.” I declined with a lie.

I don’t really drink any of those. Carbonated drinks is what runs in my blood, after all. What the fuck is a sweet dew anyways. It could be something lethal ew.

“Alright then.” He proceeded on drinking his tea.

Doesn’t people normally drink their tea sometime after a meal or something? Why is he drinking it before dinner. This guy is doing it wrong.

Well I guess it's right in the mood, since it's peaceful a-

A banging sound echoed across the room as the door was slammed open. A boy with blond hair came running into the dining table while screaming;

"DAMIAAAAAAAANNNNNNNN!!!!!!”

As if he is used to these kind of outbursts, the self-proclaimed Duke only glanced his way, continuing his drink. Wow he looks so uninterested

“MOTHER SENT A LETTER!! SHE SAID SHE’LL BE HOME SOMETIME THIS WEEK!!!” He shouted, causing the white hair dude to spit his seemingly beloved tea.

Since I don't know his name yet, and his hair is yellow, I guess I'll be calling him banana boy for now.

“What the hell?! Why all of a sudden?! Are you sure you read it correctly?!” He started shaking the pitiful boy, attacking him with questions.

Woah who’s this mother person, are they siblings or what. Oh well, none of my business.

“Yes. The date written in the letter was two days ago and was delivered today,” He paused, and looked up the ceiling as if thinking, "So if it’s not today, then it’ll be tomorrow.”

There was a long silence until Damian started muttering words that seemed to be a different language. I think he's cursing since he looked so pissed.

"Achoo-!" Ah yes, I forgot about the cold again. Didly darn, why is it winter.

So of course, the two only seemed to realized that I was there. Wow I'm super touched, how dare you forget my presence.

"Aight, I have literally no idea what's happening here." I complained, trying to keep my cool, as if I didn't sneeze just a few moments ago.

"We'll tell you about it later, but for now introduce yourself to him first." Damian ordered me as he pointed at the banana hair dude.

Why am I to do it first, is this the concept of chivalry?? Damn you gentledudes. I'll frick u up.

"Ligma."

They looked at me with confusion.

"What's ligma?" The banana boy asked.

"Ligma fuckin balls lmao"

They looked absolutely horrified, specially Damian as he leapt to cover the blond's ears.

"Why are you like this??" Damian asked as if he lost faith in humanity. "You could've said it normally like last time."

"There's no fun in that."

"Ugh," he removed his hands from banana-kun ears, "Her name's Ellie."

"Alright, now your turn~!" Damian cheered.

"I am Allevin de Drachenreich of the Drachenreich empire, it is a pleasure to meet you!" The blonde dude introduced himself.

"Holdup, why is his surname the same as the empire's name?"

"That's because he's the prince."

"Oh I se- wAIT WHAT"
