Chapter 3.

It's been a couple of hours since I was summoned to this unknown world, and since I met Anastasia, the little girl who I met in the forest. We were still walking in the forest and had never stopped. 

From the little light that I had I could tell that it was all most nighttime. As I walked, I kept staring at the little girl Anastasia. She was holding on to my hand, and walking beside me nervously...

It's not weird, isn't it...? I don't look like some sort of pedophile, right?

Now that I have an extra person to take care of, what am going to dd now....? It's not like it's only me I have to take care of, that I can do or eat anything!

What about breakfast? What about dinner...?

Or what about the daily necessities that both of us needs to survive? 

Ugh, I have to figure out something to eat before nightfall....

I continued to to be deep in my thoughts, thinking about what to do about Anastasia and I cconditions or predicament we've found ourselves in. Unlike being myself in this world, I have to fend off monsters and dangers for both of us. 

It was like I was complaining about it or anything... I was just overwhelmed by the new responsibility I have to take up...

"Umm, mister... are you alright?" Anastasia asked me, with her voice shaking. "Please don't worry about dinner, I'll try to repay you!" She added with a smile. 

"Huh...?" I was caught off guard by what Anastasia-san had said. "No, you don't have to do anything if you don't want to...." 

She glanced at me with a stare that I could identify as a disappointed one. "But.... but-" Anastasia mumbled something under her breath. 

"Night is about to come, let's camp out for the night, alright?" I said to her. 

"Yeah... understood." Anastasia tried to say something else, but she managed to stop herself from saying anything..

So we both started searching for a good place to camp out for the night, at least to be safe from monsters and other predators in the forest... with Anastasia's help, we found a good place to sleep, near a river...

At least we could hunt for fish or something in the waters.... I have to find something for Anastasia to eat.... and also myself!

"So what do you want to eat for dinner, Anastasia-san...?" I asked her, but her face turned kind of red and she gave me a shy glance. "You don't have to be shy about telling me anything, right?"

"....sorry," She began to apologize and was bowing. 

Ah, she must be really shy....

"Alright, I'll set up the camping area while you go take a dip in the river." 

"Yeah, understood."

So, while Anastasia went to have her both, I immediately started working on the camping area and went to hang out by the river, not too far from where Anastasia was having her bath, catching fish for our dinner and keeping watch for any immediate danger. 

The sunset looked beautiful, as it reflected off of the river. The sky had a lovely orangey yellow color, and the clouds were lovely... but the one thing that shocked me about this world is that there are two moons, a large one and a small one orbiting around the much bigger one. 

What a wonderful sunset.... it's more beautiful than the ones I was used to see back in my original world...

I can't wait to go out on some exciting adventures with my companion Anastasia... who knows what this world has in store for me..?

While I was deep in my thoughts, thinking about what the future has in store for me, I felt something breathing on me and when I turned around, I saw one of AAnastasia's wolves standing next to me. Yeah, who knows what this world has in store for another worlder like me...?

At that moment, I saw some sort of spaceship vehicle flying across the lovely sky that was turning into darkness. 

"Umm, mister, I'm done with having my bath." Anastasia came up to me after getting dressed. 

"Alright, let's eat our dinner. "

So we began eating dinner. Mostly fish... Night came, and we were sitting in front of a fire eating fish. Anastasia was eating peacefully, not doing or saying anything...

I wonder what could have caused to destroy Anastasia's village?

maybe a monster attack, or strange phenomenon or something strange like that... I can't just bring up such an emotional and tragic situation. How should I go about this situation?

Hopefully she doesn't take it too badly... I can't even comprehend how awkward it will be if so...

Here I go... now was the cchance I got to ask her about what happened to her village. What kind of monster attacked her village? All those questions was running through my mind, as I sat there next to her. 

"So, can I ask you aquestion, Anastasia...?" Iasked her, with some hesitation in my voice, "you don't have to go into any details. Just brief me on what happened."

Anastasia stared at me in shock, as she swallowed her food. Her face turned from kind of happy to sad, with her eyes puffed up and teared up. 

".....are you sure you want to hear....?" Anastasia mumbled under her breath. I nodded in affirmation. 

The number one rule about grief is that most likely the person who is grieving is looking for someone to vent or talk to.... so, I should probably listen to her explanation...

"Well, a horde of monsters attacked my village and destroyed and killed everyone, except for me and some other children... but we got separated from each other. " Anastasia explained, to hold back tears from her eyes. 

(Anastasia sobbing)

She started to sob uncontrollably and feeling like I had to do something, I hugged her and she cried on my shoulders. 

"Don't worry, you're not alone.... I'm with you now. "

(Anastasia continues to sob)

I continued to comfort Anastasia...

It's okay to cry, right...? I think so, considering what she went through...

And so she cried until she fell asleep and I put her to lie down on the ground, since we didn't have anything comfortable to sleep on. I didn't have enough time to get back to what I was doing, because she instantly started crying every time I got up. 

So I just lay down....

Meanwhile, the strange looking guy was sitting in an office setting, looking at the events of what Kyle was doing from a orb. He was satisfied with what saw, that he couldn't hold back his smile...

"I didn't expect you to meet your first companion so fast, Kyle. You've really surprised me for sure, hehehe!" He couldn't hold back his excitement anymore. 

"Well, I guess things are getting interesting, now. What will you do next, huh? Two unlikely people meeting in another world, huh.... how will things escalate from now....?"

The guy turned off the orb and began to laugh uncontrollably...
