《Infinity/10》Chapter III: The Exhausting Run
Advertisement
A dark cave is transitioned. Laying on the ground and waking up left foot shoeless, unknown to Nagumi about what has happened, he got transported to a rocky, wet-drippy cave. It's so dark for Nagumi that it's enough to drive him insane if he can't find a way out.
Nagumi: Fuck. Did we... get kidnapped? Doesn't look like I'm restrained or anything... YUUKI-CHAN! WHERE ARE YOU?!
Shouts the anxious Nagumi. Heart beating so fast, he might lose it in an instant. He promised someone that he would cherish (and protect) her, but failed unfairly.
Nagumi: ...How did this... happen? I feel like... the world has changed differently. Has it? And my left shoes, who stole it even... This isn't a joke anymore.
Confused of what to do. He searches his pocket for a source of flashlight. Luckily...
Nagumi: Thank fucking God, I'm glad my parents bought me a phone. I might've tried "my way out" if I never had it.
Says the joking Nagumi.
...?
Nagumi: Huh? What's this... a bouquet? What's all of this doing in this spot. And they're all withered too.
Very strange indeed, but ignoring it, he moves his light to a better place to investigate his surroundings. Cave roof is beyond reach, but it's not too far either. Pathway is very clear and not much thorny like in the movies, but that is all.
Nagumi: Guess I better find my way o- no. I have to search for Yuuki-chan and see if she's here. I'm sure she's around here somewhere. Hopefully so. Even if it's a remaining part of her, an answer's all I need.
That is right. An answer. To the confession, and to the incident. That is all what's needed.
...
After a long 30 minute of thorough search, he finds nothing else but bouquet's that has already wilted.
Nagumi: What a wast- shit. No signal reception aswell. AND NOT MUCH BATTERY LIFE LEFT!? AM I REALLY THAT MUCH HATED?!
Cries the sad Nagumi. Well, no matter. It's already confirmed she's not in here, even after tracing every speck of the cave.

Nagumi: ...Guess I'll leave. Hopefully, even if by chance, I hope she would atleast leave out of safety if she's here. I'll give it one more check later after I investigate where I am.
As he confirms his search, it is merely impossible as of now to look for her. Nagumi gives up for now. Time passes by, he's finally found the exit. It lasted a mere 10 minutes time.
Nagumi: Grassy. Windy. Sunny. Beautiful.
The boy gazes at the horizon, he finds himself on the top of a grassy hill. Everything is so clear and clean, not a sight of pollute. The air feels so refreshing, and no one's inhabited the pla-
Nagumi: Oh! A village. Lucky! Maybe... I could find Yuuki-chan there!
Apparently, the place is indeed inhabited by people. Knowing so, Nagumi runs off the hill to visit the village and ask for help, but falls down dramatically like an idiot.
A soothing medievalry-feel music plays in the background. A noisy crowd, and looks like a marketting place. Everything feels so historic, that it felt like time has reversed back to 1450's. If that's the case... That would explain the signal reception being without a trace. Technology Age has downgraded. As Nagumi thought of the same thing, he cries with disappointment.
Nagumi: Why'd I have to get Isekai'd to an old age instead of a futuristic one?! Am I really considered a fucking protag? Where's my god damn powers then?!
...he thinks so. Should it really matter even?
A banner placed on the top, named Yisethoria on the entrace for everyone to see. This should confirm on where he is.
Nagumi: Yisethoria... huh? That's a big fucking relief. I really did get Isekai'd! This isn't a matter of life or death anymore, but a matter of knowing something's gonna happen! This explains why Yuuk-chani isn't here. It must've been that she was left off at Japan, and if so... I hope that is the case.
He picks on his ears in order to relieve himself from stress. Finally, calm in the state.

He roams the street, not knowing what kind of place he is in, decides to differentiate the world he used to live in to this world. As there's much to see, there's not much else to compare other than the infrastructures. Stone Age would be the right wordings for their technology, so far it's not that complicated to understa-
???: --Brrk!
Nagumi: Woah!
Male Resident: Hey, pal! Watch where you goin'! Damn retard...
Nagumi: ...sorry.
Male Resident: Tsk!
Spits the villager on a... beast carriage?. Rudely enough, on the case of Nagumi, he is not at fault here.
Nagumi: Do I look like a delinquent? I'm the only one here with an 'unusual' clothing here.
Sighs the boy.
Nagumi: Oddly enough, beastial beings carrying carriages... That's really cool. I wonder if there's... hot beastial chi- Nonono! I already have Yuuki-chan in my heart!
...
Wimpers Nagumi.
Nagumi: Right, right... Ask for help...
The crowd is huge, enough to be compared to Tokyo streets at busy hours. If it would help, maybe having 1 villager to atleast talk to him would suffice. Apparently, everyone glares at him with confusion and negative behavior. As the young Nagumi continues to do so, no one wants to have his attention at any cost. As this would mean...
Nagumi: This is discrimination... -sigh-. Nothing I could do unless I change this clothes. Better find a clothing shop, then-
--!?
???: You.
A girl whisphers, behind him.
Nagumi: Huh?
Immediately, on Nagumi's mind... the first encounter reminds him of his girl of his life,. Tsumi Yuuki. His heart thumps as loud as it can be, as he is reminded a reminicient of past life, that changed his life forever with a single word. You.
She pats his shoulders once, to catch his attention.
???: You. Are you in trouble?
Nagumi: Hu- Ah! Oh, yeah I am. I'm new to this place and I don't have any idea on where to go... Hehe...
The boy giggles.
???: -sigh-, guess I got no choice. You got a strange outfit, though it's not a bad design. A... head cover, blue and white color, and a rubber pants...
Nagumi: Seriously! You put in wayyy too much detail! Just to let you know, Earth designed this cool ass hoodies and pants!
???: I don't care.
Nagumi: You just did!
Both laughs as they understood each other.
Nagumi: Anyway, what's with you approaching me all the sudden?
???: Helping other people in need is in my blood after all! I can't just leave you on your own, otherwise who knows what trouble you would've done here!
Nagumi: Do I look that suspicious? Compared to those beats riding carriages, they're more intimidating than I am...
???: Ah, they're called Urions. Though, not that you asked for it...
...*sigh*
Nagumi: Right....
Nods Nagumi. A sooth sigh leaves his mouth.
???: Ah right, where are my manners... I am Nishio Redman. A master sage swordsman of fifth caliber, at your service!
Nagumi amazed at the introductions. Wows only shows on his face.
Redman: ...and you are?
Nagumi: Uh- ah! Nagumi Shiruto, a professional anime otaku! I know more fantasies than what meets the eye... Touyu!
Nishio Redman, laughs at his introduction.
Nagumi: What's with you laughi- no nevermind, leaving off a positive impression's all I need anyways.
Redman: No, it's not that you sounded awkward... But it reminds me of the old days...
???
Nagumi: What do you mean? Is there gonna be storytelling at some point?
Nishio hums, not knowing how to tell him of her past...
Redman: Right, since you're an Otaku, guess it's safe to tell you anyhow. I am part Japanese-Demian myself. I was first born at Japan, but got transported here for no reason, and in your case, I guess we're both an equal victims to it.
Nagumi: Huh... Redman-san?
---
Redman: Ah, spare your humble honorifics. You can call me Nishio, we're both a partner in crime now, aren't we?
The girl giggles. But a sudden shock leaves off Nagumi's expression.
