chapter 1: destined

“ akitooooooo!!!”

   A distant scream of someone calling out my name

that woke me up. i usually don’t wake up late its just that

i had a lot to do last night.

 My mother and i work here in these inn that my mother’s cousin own

my mother’s job is to do the cooking while her cousin does the a managing of the inn. My job is that i do the errands, gathering ingredients and sometimes i also help in the kitchen and in cleaning the place.

“ akito! wake up you have to gather the herbs for the menu on laters lunch”

[mom]

“ yes mom”

 i rushed in and got my things and readied to venture in the forest

as i was going out my mom’s cousin advised me to go near the river inside the forest 

for there was a vast amount of herbs and mushrooms there.

they wished me goodluck as i ventured out

 as i was walking in the city nearing the gate an old man with i think of a higher stature called me out.” young lad do have the time to clean my shoe”

“ oh why yes sir”

 i answered because after all i am the greatest shoe cleaner in the city and i am known for my skills to leave shoes shiny and shimmering. My shoe cleaning skills is so good that when I’m finished you can even use it as mirror.

 And also because i have a spare time before i go to the forest, why not earn a little money that is why i always bring my shoe cleaning equipment with me whenever i go outside the inn. 

“people that doesn’t have the title of noble really has to work hard huhuhu how pitiful”

This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source.

 these are the words i heard from the nobles the same age as me after seeing me cleaning the shoe of these old man, of course i pay no attention to the words they mutter after all i get these treatment all the time.

“ have you been appraised young man?, you know if you get a class worthy of being an adventurer, you could earn money that way ”  

“ i don’t have time for that sir. there we go all done”

“ hoho great work very nice here is a gold coin “

“gold coin!? but i only cleaned your shoe”

“ haha go and get appraised and show those young nobles what you are made off”

 as i was still gathering my thoughts after receiving a gold coin  i continued going to the forest to gather some herbs and mushrooms

“ ting! “

 that time the world made a sound that could be only heard in the entire forest.

“ what the hell is that”

 i said while gathering herbs near the river. just as the world made that sound i see an entity in the sky. 

" is it a bird no, its human, its flying wow this my first time encountering a flyii…

no waits its getting bigger?”

Pov of the mysterious falling object

 I’m feeling too much wind as i was waking up

“ wait where am i…”

[ looks down ]

“ what the *censored is this *censored realll!!”

“im falliiing!! “

“ wait a minute its not getting bigger its getting closer”

“ its falling”

 i tried my best to run and tried catching her.

but on second thought trying to catch someone from that height would only result me having broken bones or it may even kill me and we can’t have two people dying and i can’t have that so i cancelled my pursuit and just watched her fall.

 she was falling on the river so lets just hope the water breaks her fall

tho that was an imminent death for that person. ill just mourn for her after this…

“ haaaa!! what just happened I’m still alive yessss”

  is the words i heard after getting splashed by the rivers water from her fall.

a woman just fell out of the sky is whats on my mind while gathering my thoughts of what just happened

“ I’m alive yes I’m… wait where am i?!! who are you?!!”

“ who am i?! who are you?!” 

 we stared at each other startled by what just happened.

i helped her out of the water and started a fire so we could dry ourselves

“ so what where you doing up there?”

 i asked to her calmly while trying to dry up in front of the fire

“ i don’t know i was in front of my computer after i closed my eyes i was in the sky all the sudden, so I’m just as clueless as you are”

 computer? i dont understand what she’s saying but i don’t think she’s lying either about not knowing nothing. and from what i can tell she is not from these city, her clothing is somewhat weird and different.

info: by the way she is wearing pyjamas.

 by what she is telling me is that she is lost and doesn’t even know the reason why she was in the sky. i told her about where she is and what city this is.

 she was shocked and kept telling me that she is not from this world.

“ i just got isekaied!” 

info: isekai means another world.

“ oh no i need to get back i need to get back oh I’m panicking…stay calm kotome you can still go back lets think these through”

 as i watched her panicking a thought had come on to my mind if what she’s saying is true that she is from another world then she must be a hero. as i was thinking these through i realised that the world is in great danger. if the world is to see a hero appear that means a danger is near.

 and these girl as a hero i think we are doomed.

“ oh crap i need to give this herbs to mother I’m late!”

“ wait you’re living me here?!”

“ *sigh come with me”

“ yeeah thanks i thought you where just gonna leave a beautiful girl all alone in a forest you like me don’t ya? haha”

 and that time i wished that she had died from that fall

[ does the adventure on accompanying a hero starts]
