Chapter 2: Complications

'Uuuuugh... What the hell is this.' Mentally groaning kei begins to assess his situation.

'Okay first off I am in a very unfamiliar place which I have no knowledge abou-...' Yeah no. He knows exactly what this place is he's not retarded. When he first saw the scenery infront of him he knew exactly where he was thanks many rewatches. [Re: Zero]

The scene infront of him mirrors the first thing subaru saw when he got transported to this place.

'Well shit.' He mentally cursed knowing what would probably happen to him in this world.

'Hehe... I don't need to worry I know exactly what would happen in the future. I'll just use my knowledge of the plot of this story and then everything will be smooth sailing~' Nodding his head with a smug smile while thinking that everything will be fine.

'Smooth sailing my ass!'

Massaging his forehead he snapped at himself for that thought.

'I am not stupid enough to completely rely on such things.' He thought ' I have read enough stories and fanfics about mc's relying too much on their knowledge about the plot of the story they are transported too, and let us just most of the time it didn't end to well. Some really not well.'

He sighed and begins to enact scenarios incase the worse happens completely ignoring his surroundings.

'Okay for now I should use the knowledge I have for the plot first then create a plan and countermeasures taking account possible variables like myself into account.' As he was coming up with a plan for solutions for possible problems in the future. He felt a tap on his right shoulder.

Snapping out of his thoughts he looks to his right to see who was tapping his shoulder. To his shock he saw an all to familiar black, white, and yellow tracksuit wearing individual with scary looking eyes.

'Welp... This just got way more complicated.' In front of him was none other than the O.G protagonist (Natsuki Subaru).

Groaning again he clutched his head due to a massive headache. Feeling another tap on his shoulder he look back to the protagonist.

"Hey, you okay there you?" he asked. In responsed kei just sighed.

"Yeah. Just got a massive headache."

Subaru place a finger on his chin and nodded knowingly.

"Understandable, realizing that you are transported to a fantasy world must be mind boggling." Subaru said as he couldn't help but agree.

Being transported to a world filled to the brim with lunatics and monsters that can kill you in the most horrific and gruesome way possible is truly mind boggling. But he didn't think that word was too fitting for this.

Suddenly subaru rapped his arm around his shoulder.

"But don't worry you are not alone." Subaru said then pointed his thumb to his face. "Both you and me are chosen for a reason. Heck we are peobably chosen to save this world even!"

Kei looked at subaru not believing what he just heard. Because what he just spewed out from his mouth was complete bullshit.

'If you consider being summoned by a witch that practically almost consumed everything in the world to be her boy toy then sure, go ahead and delude yourself with that.'

As he was having that thought a realization surfaced.

'If subaru is here then does that mean I don't have [return by death]?' This overcomplicates things. With the probability of not having the ability his plans need to adjusted accordingly.

Knowing that if subaru dies he will just rewind time to a certain point that much is cleared. But something else comes to mind.

'I got transported along with subaru. What would happen if I were to die.' The thought somewhat frightened him.

"Hey!" A loud voice snapped him out his thoughts as he looked back at subaru.

"Hey you okay? You have been spacing out quite a bit." He asked.

"Yeah, its just a lot to take in."

Subaru nodded his head and then smiled.

"Don't worry about it. I know how these things work. Trust me things will work out we were chosen after all." He said with a smile.

"Oh and by the way. My name is Natsuki Subaru."

He looked at subaru as if he was either a moron or delusional.

Another sigh escaped his mouth.

"Michiaki Kei" introducing himself he asked.

"By the way what do gave you the idea that you and me were 'Chosen' to 'save this world?'"

Subaru pointed to the bag in kei's hand.

"Your Japanese aren't you and plus those items don't belong to this world." He said. "By going with that trend, along with multiple examples it is quite obvious is in it?"

Looking at the bag in his hand. Kei couldn't help but nod in agreement to the fact that the trend is most often associated with Japanese media. But he still look at Subaru as if he was a complete wacko due to the fact that the rest of what he said was retarded and insulting in a way.

'Seriously?!' He mentally groaned 'What kind of logic is that! And I believing you have been given some system or what not? Ohoho I am gonna enjoy you getting a fist full of painful reality in the groan.'

"By the way. Is that sword on your hip real?" Subaru suddenly asked as he looked at his sword [Wilt and blush]. He nodded his head in confirmation still having a headache.

"Yes it is real." As he said that subaru's eyes gain a bit of glimmer.

"That is so cool! So your a swordsman." He said with awe and a bit of jealousy.

"If you have a sword I wonder what my power is. Probably magic." Subaru said as Kei just looked at him with a blank.

'Yeah, you would be right about that. But I don't think its the kind of magic you are thinking.' Kei thought imagining subaru shout out "Rain Down: DEATH METEOR!" without anything happening. He cringe at the thought of seeing such a display of utter Chunni.

But that begs the question.

'Subaru is a sage candidate. What about me then?' Looking at the sword on his side. The answer was quite obvious.

'Yeah probably gonna be a swordsman or sniper. Still have my gun and my scabbard is probably still loaded.'

Looking back at subaru who was deep in thought I decided to wait for him to finish.

'I hope he finishes soon so we can get this on with. Still believe that I am here along the protagonist.' He sighed but immediately froze. After a moment he flapped his forhead.

'Why the fuck do I want to follow the plot and course of this world!? I didn't even want to be here in the first place!' He cursed in his mind.

'Also the protagonist is here! So why the in god's name should I follow him! I don't want to experience hardcore torture porn!' Realizing that he was a moron he changes his plans.

'The protagonist is here already so everything should be A-Oka-' Stopping that thought from his track of mind he realize something.

'There is no guarantee that even if I leave everything to subaru and go on my own way would I be survive in this world with world ending catastrophes plus I have no knowledge of how this world actually functions' A massive migraine assaulted his head.

He begins to think of ways to make a living in this world but found little success in his Ideas.

'I can start stealing or maybe start a criminal organization?' He thought but quickly threw that idea in the trash.

'Yeah, no, knowing how broken some characters in this world are that idea is pretty much scrap.' He thought 'Maybe I should try and join the other candidates. But besides Emilia. the question is which one?

Pondering for a while he came to a conclusion.

'Crusch might be a good choice. But I would rather not be ordered around by someone who is sometimes way over her head that may result in disastrous aftermaths. Example being the attack on the white whale. I mean who in there right mind would attack a creature that said to be created to be massive by a witch without the knowledge of its capabilities and an understanding of its powers?'

'But I may need her help in the future if some problems come my way.' He finished that thought.

'Next is Anastasia... Yeah~ not gonna risk it. Knowing how greedy she is, she might take an interest on my weapons and may ask how it functions and how its built. Not gonna risk giving someone with that many resources with my weapons that practically asking to start a world war. And let us forget about a certain witch of greed... Yeah not taking my chances.' He sighed.

'Next up... Priscilla..... Yeah~ Fuck that. I am not a masochist.'

'Next up is felt... One of the best choices. If she is a royal candidate she will have reinhardt as a knight, reinhardt, who mind you is for some bullshit reason is one of the most broken character in this world. Having him as an ally would be beneficial. Plus if I help at fighting elsa. She would owe me.'

'I should probably need to help out in a way though. Maybe something regarding items. I still have of some knowledge of such like lighters.'

Coming to a decision he looked at subaru who was still in his fantasies. Deciding that he would accompany him to the auction house and help then part ways and go their seperate ways after.

"Hey, snap out of your fantasy."

Snapping out of his thoughts subaru looked at him.

"I know being transported to another world (Against your will) and being so called 'Tasked' (Forced) to do something in this world is fun and all but maybe we should try and search around this place first and getting a better understanding of our situation?"

"Ah, your right." Dropping his fist into his palm in realization. "We need to some info about this world. Let's look around, there might be a place that might give us some knowledge about this place. Like a guild perhaps."

He nodded ignoring the urge to stab him. As he and subaru were about to start looking around a sense of foreboding accompanied with a chill ran across his body.

Knowing what this meant he felt nervous at what might happen.

'Hope I survive atleast.'
