《Anchore (Re-Write in Progress)》Side Chapter : Airi POV

Advertisement

My name is Airi. My name is given by my master, Arya. At first, I am is in the pitch black place. Dark and silence. No friend to talk. I didn't remmember how long I already in this place.

'How can I leave from this place?' 'Is there no other ways?' 'I am lonely.'

Thought like that keep appearing and make me feels sad and sad each days.

But one day, a girl with weird pupils calling herself 'Aurora' coming and started to chatting with me. My first friend. She started to tell a story about place named Gracia Continent, its towns, castles, villages and their people inside.

But the most interesting story is about the Champione, each one year the person that called the Principal or Headmaster will explain the story in the 'Ceremony' which then send them in. Its say that they were adventurer, hero, a brave people. Aurora telling about sistem and the like about common sense.

They will summon people like me. Yes, the person inside this black room to help them to fight with their soldiers. I feel so happy, am I finnaly able to leave? I keep dreaming that I will stand beside my master followed by numerous soldiers behind to defeat the hostile enemy and claims glory.

But, Aurora story make me sad. The Champione, she said is arrogant people. A people that aren't thinking of our life, she say they just looking people like us as tools. They just send us at the enemy as they only stand in the back.

I shudder to hear that, but I want to leave this place so I have to endure. After that, Aurora isn't visiting me again and make me sad. I hugged my knees as I waiting for her. To appear and told her story again, but she never comes. In this despairing state, a white light suddenly surrounded me and I appear in another place. This place is still black but there is another presence here. Aurora and a boy wearing red armor.

[Nyahahah... how is it.... Amazing right...]

Suddenly, Aurora saying while puffing her chest, she look so proud and laughing cheerfully. But my attention isn't focused on them as a warm feelings filled my heart. I finally summoned! So this boy is my master?

I answered with my plain expression. Am I wrong? But the boy just nodding his head. I feel relieved, I thought he will get angry.

[Alright, now create her name... eh, are you that shocked, at last, say something..!! how boring~~]

''Ah,sorry... so name huh..''

The boy wondering about my name take a glance at me, when his eyes meet my eyes, he averted his eyes, Aurora that looking at the side have a big smile in her face. Is he isn't like my face? I always in the black place so I never know my face.? Thinking that I feel dejected, before long, the boy finishing her thought and looking at me again.

''Alright, how about 'Airi'..?''

[Airi..? Well not bad, are sure about this?]

''What do you think about your name?''

The boy asking me for his confirmation, I think it was a good name and the I nod my head that make him smile.

''Alright, your name will be Airi. My name is Arya, please take care of me... Airi''

The boy, Arya introduce himself to me and I couldn't help but answer with my smile that makes him blush. Eh? Is he blushing? How cute? I thought while keep watching him. Before long, my master finishing his bussines and starting to running in the direction that Aurora pointing while waving his hand toward us and leaving this place. But the person beside me is having weird behavior, Aurora has a blush on her face.

[He remember my name..?]

[No no... actually 'human' like him just see us like machine, even the other never talk and act like that... but somehow, i feel like i ever seen him before...]

I just speechless about that. After that, the white light surrounded my body and appeared in different place. This time I am inside a luxurious room. A white wall, big table, big desk and much more. Is it my room? My bedroom? I only hear something like from Aurora story so it couldn't be helped as a smile appeared on my face and I started to explore this room. There are kitchen and bath, and beyond the big window,is wide ground with mountain background. It's beautiful.

Before long, my body surrounded by red light and I appear in the wide grassy land with my master in red armor and holding a spear. I remmember, Aurora said that this place is the training ground, where the Master will start his first fight. But, my master is suddenly yelling a weird word that makes me look at him in wonder.

''....History !! Ah...''

''Ah, Airi ? How are you ?''

''...Ah, yes''

My master is weird, isn't normal people will panic and ask where is this place ? I didn't know this place anyway. My master tilted his head but after looking a spear in his hand he understood it and answered while scratching his cheeks.

''So what do we do for now?''

I started to explaining with my knowledge and pointing my hand at the monster that appeared 5 meter in front of us. With small body, green skin, pointed ear and nose and wearing loincloth and holding a small axe.

With loud shout, my master rushing at the goblin and trusting his spear forward. The spear penetrated goblin chest and the blood gushing out.

''Yiikees, the blood is real!''

''Yeah, but what with this blood?''

''Is the broken arm and something like that added too?''

"I am fine, thank you. To think Airi know that much..''

''......''

My master speaking some strange mark and just averted his eyes, I couldn't help but looking at him with suspicious stare and approaching slowly, I bring my face in front of him with my eyes narrowed.

''I AM SORRY....!!!''

After that, we continue our train... no, my master is killing the 5 goblins by himself. What a strong master. After some problem, master finished his training and I appear in my room. When I am back, I started to think to greet my fellow Partner but my eyes pick a little book above the desk. Its introduction book, telling about this place, the Moonlight Shrine and about this continent. But after that is many blank pages, when I found a pen that dropped in the ground a smile appeared in my face. This will become my Diary!

The day after that is soldiers training, my master got young soldiers this time. Even I was surprised because the other Champione is having a muscle-man. When master distributed the armor, I was shocked. My master choosing the elite one than the basic iron armor. Looking that I started to yell at him unconsciously and his answer make me a .

'Its my fault... what is I thinking.... being rude at my master without knowing his intention.... I call him by 'You'.... I am sinned.... what do I do.... I am sorry.'

When I gone to my thought, I didn't notice that master already in front of me and started to shake my shoulder really hard. Because he shaking me without stop, I unconsciously punch him and send him flying and I finally noticed another person. A beautiful girl with red hair and a handsome man behind her. When my master coming back, the girl challenged master and they started their duel. The fight is too intense. I approaching her Partners and without we know, their duel changed into kill competition.

Finishing their weird battle, master started to train his soldiers. But my eyes still didn't leave the direction of the previous battleground. It was quite funny, As master already have a rival . After the soldiers are lined, Master being weird once again. He asks his own soldier name. Because it was interesting, I started to write their name in my personal book. When I feel a stare, I turn my head.

''Ah, Airi. Did you note all they names? I remember the girls but the male is...''

''Wait a minute.... okay it's done. Please call them and make a line again."

''Huhuhu.... you will see, now call them over.''

I know it my master is weird, as I still stared at him I noticed a bag appear in his waist make me wonder. But when I feel a weight on my back, the same bag is resting in my hip and all his soldiers. After I call them and make a row, my master started his plan. He divided the soldiers into 2 squads and choose their leader. Before long, the true (hell) training is started. My master use his speed to injure one of his own soldiers, a girl to boot. When our anger is running out, we already dropped on the ground. Even my strengthen speed is disturbed by the heavy bag on my hip so I can't move really well. What is inside of this bag, A stone?

We are defeated and can't even move our muscle, the master is just keep blabbering while standing tall. Uu... Am I really got the wrong master..? A thought like that appeared in my head while master started to approach Martha, his first victim. While enduring my pain I trying to stop him but I can't. Then master just pulled out a bandage and treat her.

When I check my bag, variety of bandage and medicine is inside and we help the injuries person. Master just turn his body and walking away. How cruel. Despicable. When I back to my room, I leap to my bed and starting hit my pillow. As I get calm I unconsciously started to grab my diary. Weird master, despicable man. I keep filling my diary with badmouthing. As I become tired I think I forget about something, but as my eyes are too tired, I lay my head and sleep. It's strange as I sleep with my armor donned on, but I don't have any bad muscle.

The next day, I appeared in town plaza. Meeting with master friends and hearing 2 shocking news. First is that I, yes me is the only one that being female Partners, second is the Kingdom visit!

I only know it from Aurora story, so I feel excited about it. But my master isn't want to join and let me go with his friends instead.

How cruel!! My master is very despicable, he is so despicable, so much that make me to say that he is despicable person. Eh, did I say it thrice? Nevermind.

What I mean is when we entered in the castle, all the attention is gathering to me! They look at me with a various expression that makes me shudder and hide behind master Alicia. In the middle of our tour, I take a glance at the familiar black armored person and approaching him.

He drops his shoulder and looks dejected, I just pat his shoulder and look at him in pity. Somehow the stare is reduced and 1 hour passed as we take a trip around the castle but the waiting moment of Castle trip was destroyed even the Guards is glaring at us with dangerous gaze!

Master! You are a despicable person I ever meet !

When we arrived at the meeting place, my master isn't arrived and make me become the center of attention again. Master, please come back ! Before long, he arrived accompanied by red haired girl. My chest is feeling a slighly hurt and unconsciously I using my Flash Move and launched a punch toward his face, when he manage to block it, I feel really frustrated.

''You see, Airi we just walking around the town you know....''

''Damn you, Arya! How did you leave me alone when you happy with yourself.. aren't we a Brother in Arm?''

''W-where are you two going until now...!?''

''Hey hey Arya, are you visiting the funny place...''

''....''

After the explanation, I going back once again on my room I remember that I going to greet the fellow Partners before I froze on the spot.

Various male chat can be heard beyond her door. Pervert! There is a pervert here! Help!! I couldn't help but to shut my door tight and lock my door. A sheep in the wolf den. When I think about that, my ears pick some of their conversation.

Leaving aside his pervert word, I found something important and quickly take the bell and use it. A small ring or ding? The sound is quite cute.

''How can I help?''

A sudden voice behind me makes me jump in surprise when I turn my body a beautiful maid standing still with her head tilted. Suppressing my tear for looking salvation in this hell and to jump to her. I forget I still wearing an armor and almost squeeze her. After an apology, we started to chat happily. When I ask her about the wide ground outside the window, she said that it was free location. We started to plant some flowers and vegetables with my suggestion. It's amazing, I didn't need to go out of my room and my need is can be solved by just using the bell. In 2 month, because I feel safe because nobody going to the back area, I and the maids working with this gardening to spend my free time.

Speaking of my master, he is a weird person. He always uses his 'Point' to buy the supplies and to increase our chance of survival. Isn't he a human? Does the human nature always wanting something, right? I don't know but a smile always appears on my face when I mentioned it.

But one day my peaceful days ended, when I start to watering the flower like the days before, I feel a stare beside me, a man in light armor standing there with a red face. He standing still with his eyes open wide. When I tilt my head in wonder, his word is shocked me.

He suddenly appear in front of me while gripping my free hand with his red face and shining eyes.

I didn't let him finish his word and punch him in the face. When he flying high and far, I use this opportunity to run back to my room and locked the windows. Before long, I finally know that he is the Bullies Partner and make me really mad. It isn't because of he and his master bully my master. Definitely not. He is still trying to seduce me, make me shudder. And because this incident, my perception is developing and I can leave dangerous situation safely.

After that, outside my door, a knock always sounded but I already make a blockade. Aaaa... I am exposed !! A horde of wolf will eat me!! I want friends, where are you my maid friends!!

***

When we do some mission in the forest, Master makes an order to take the meat and the skin. At first, we are confused, but I was realized. Yes, master going to cook the meat! Yummy!

Master once told me that if I eating too much meat, I will become fat resulting in a punch to his face. It was fun and it seems an interesting situation always surrounding master. Oh, I don't notice it but sometimes I can feel something bad nearby. At first, I ignore it, but as the events always happen one after another I believe that my intuition become sharp.

Right now, Master will participate in the Tournament. But after our enemy is already standing in front of us, a strange threat is surfacing and we rushing to there without minding other people. I was shocked, a skeleton soldier is killing the people with no mercy. We, I and the soldiers are just standing in fear. But the master is the one who reacts first, He crushes the skeleton that going to finish a woman on the ground. He helped her to stand up before make his order.

With the Guards help, master priorities are civilian safety. He is really weird. But a smile couldn't help but appear in our face. Even the enemy outnumbered us, Master will throw his life to save the troubled soldiers. After sealing the gate we approaching the plaza and started to treat the injured people. Somehow, I able to ask Martha about her supply.

We are really wondering because only her supply that always empty. When I ask that, all his comrade is turn their head and look at her like saying 'Ah.. come to think of it. Isn't your supply always depleted?', looking at their friends like that, Martha give up and told that her sister 'borrowed' some of the medicine to create improved medicine.

'Isn't two or three enough? why yours always ask for new medicine?' She said that her sister needs a medicine from the Champione because they are the only one that having various type in easily. Her sister sneakily take a huge number of medicine to make one and some of her combination is failed and taking more. Resulting in the vanished medicine supply in short amount of time. At first, Martha feel troubled because the medicine is gone without knowing, a thief? But it was turn out the culprit is her own sister.

Leaving the other dumdfounded hearing that. How brave, using medicine supply to make a new one without noticed. How talented.

With Master order, we marching toward main gate and helping to finish the weakest skeleton before nightmare coming to us. The armored skeleton push us back to the wall after claiming 4 life of Champione and the other Champione must gather in the castle to hear the announcement.

It turn out about bad news, the Champione is said to be immortal, if they killed in this world, they can still appear next day or maybe next hour. But, now it was said that if they killed here their brain will damaged and same as death.

If they want to live they must stand here and let the other die? Anger swelled in heart and master beside me started to yell in angry voice.

He is so angry that makes me shocked. He never makes a angry expression like this before. Master like this because he cares about us? What weird man. With my master, we arrived at the main gate and started to attack the enemy with the other soldier and the Guards help. I wonder, why does master call the Guard Captain by 'Uncle B' ? Nevermind. The skeleton army is really tough, but somehow the remaining Champione really join the fray and us able to win another 2 wave of skeleton army.

But, the strange feeling keep surfacing in my heart, and unconsciously make a frown in my face. Somehow, Master is the one that able to see me though.

''What is it Airi, did the strong skeleteon will appear?''

''Are they have a Hidden Card.. hmm?''

When Master turn his head, he looked shocked with wide eyes, I try to look arround and saw it. A weird big skeleton holding the shining shield, master beside me shouting immediately.

''Bad! Everyone Get Down!!!''

He push me down before the laser launched and hit the unprepared people and keep straight and even destroyed the castle barrier. Make the other feel despair. Our casualties is really big. Even in our soldier, some of the important people is currently missing. Somehow, my master keep his calm and say that we must have strategical meeting. The content of the plan is too dangerous! I really disagree with this!

But master ignored me and really do his plan. Uuu... he is cruel person! Didn't he see that we are worried?

The plan is working! Or not, a tough-looking shield is able to stop master and thrown him away!

I rushed and rise him up and check his condition. His helmet is flying away, some of his armor is cracked even some part is breaking. His spear is broken. He is in the state to not able to fight again, but, master grab my hand and take my spear.

''I am fine..., let me... borrow your spear... for a bit.''

He really didn't listen to me!! With his forced body, he relly push his power to the limit and break forward. Before being thrown once, no its already three times! He is so stuborn, and his stuborn that make him reach the goal.

''Arya-san, crush him!!'' ''Arfools show him our power!!'' ''Destroy that fat skeleton.'' ''Destroy it!!''

The other Champione started to cheer him. And he did it! He broke the lion face shield and its both hand, before gradually disappear too!!? You only destroyed the shield, you know. Just the shield!? Look that big skeleton is still standing, How can you show that proud and carefree face like that?

With some of the Champione morale and spirits dropped looked at my master state, an earth shaking sound appear behind. The Imperial Knight that rode armored horse charged forward and make the other feel overjoying. The reinforcement has arrived. What more, a powerful attack appeared and crashed the armored skeleton. I can see a full armored figure wielding a huge longbow. Because the figure is wearing full body armor it quite hard to recognize its gender, but looking at the slim waist, it must be a woman.

With a relieved sigh I shift my attention at the Master body that slowly turned into particles. Like before, my body surrounded by red light, and am going to send back to my room. As cavalries of Imperial Knight rushed pass me a smile couldn't help but appear in my face.

My body is going to completely dissolved when I can see the last fight. With the reinforcement help, they able to annihilate the huge number of armored skeleton army easyly.

'Master, you are the gret master... I ever seen.. thank you..'

And my body disappears from the battle field. But I know and I believe that our adventure isn't over yet.
