"Ah, ye-yes, I'm alright.."

I said as I took the beautiful woman's hand and stood up, dusting by behind from any dirt. I was flustered at the thought of meeting a foreigner with blonde hair and blue eyes, but it seems she understood me.

Thank god..

"Thank goodness, I thought I might not make it in time.."

With a bright smile, she had said that. What a saint. Is every woman in this other world as beautiful as her?

"Ah, thank you for that by the way, you saved me there."

I bowed and expressed my gratitude. But the woman just shook her head in a modest fashion..

"No, no, it wouldn't do for my target to be killed my something as filthy as a goblin after all.."

"In any case, I still want to...eh, what did you jus-"

Before I could hear a reply, I felt a cold sense of dread in my abdomen. When I looked down, the very same rapier was thrust into my vital area. To think that beautiful sword could pierce this fast. I didn't even see it move this time..

"Wha-what are you......doing...?"

I found my voice getting colder and softer by the minute, but I still wanted to know the reason..

I couldn't accept such a beautiful girl having that gentle of a smile do this all of a sudden. Is killing on the first meeting normal in this world? How cruel if that were so...

Still, no reply came from the innocent-faced woman. But just as I was nearing death's door, she moved towards my face and whispered in my ear..

"Hail.....hydra....."

I didn't know what those words meant before falling into the sweet embrace of frost.

......

............

"Uwaaaah!"

When I woke up, I hurriedly touched my abdomen, limbs, and continued doing this for all of my body. A scared scream flew out of my mouth the moment I awoke, but when I found out I was okay, an exasperated sigh released my body from its tension..

As much as I wanted to find out why did the blonde woman kill me, I had to find out where the heck I was.

From what I could tell, this wasn't my apartment, nor was it the grasslands where I lost consciousness. There were red brick walls, as tall as I could see all around me. It looked as if I was in an alleyway.

Since nothing would be done at this rate, I stood up and went towards the noise of voices and horns sounding..

What greeted my eyes were people. So many people. Screaming at each other in, what seems to be English? I know a little bit of English from studying in university. Since game developers have to know foreign languages.

The skyscrapers and tall buildings were everywhere. There was so many ads and giant televisions at the top of the tallest ones. Familiar brands and symbols were all around, showing different commercials.

Did this mean that I was back on Earth? Since I saw yellow taxi cabs, I called one and went in. I could at least find out where I was and what day was it now if I asked the driver. I could manage basic conversations like that.

When I went in, I didn't realize that I had no money to pay for it. As I felt my shirt pocket though, I found 3 coins made of gold. I decided to use this to pay for the information instead.

["In other news, the new movie Batman vs Superman was a total embarrassment to the franchise according to most critics around the world. We are very much looking forward to the release of Marvel's Civil War. Stay tuned."}

A voice with an English accent came out of the radio. Wait, that movie was already out? I didn't have a chance to watch it though. But that's enough of that, I had to ask where I was..

"A-h, Do know, where I am?"

"Oh, a Japanese person huh, you a tourist pal?"

"Ye-yes, I am, tourist..."

This is pretty hard. Maybe harder than I thought..

"Fantastic, welcome to New York then! Where do you want to go?"

Ah, this driver was friendly but really? New York? Why was I suddenly here?

"But, first, can, tell me, date today?"

"Oh, it's a Friday, April 1st, of the 2016th. Hey, buddy, you okay?"

I was holding my head with both hands when I heard what the kind driver said. Keeping in my headache over this cruel joke of an event. This was going too far, no matter how you look at it. Although I didn't know who to blame for this..

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!"

I still expressed my feelings, in English..
