Earth, a few hours after Kame got transmigrated to another world.
A drunk woman in her early twenties walked in front of a school gate while being intoxicated.
She has a bck hair that’s tied to a ponytail as it sways with her every step. On her body, she wore an offiiform sisting of a white shirt and a bck tight-fitting skirt. Her right hand held a mid sized purse without any brand on it.
While walking, she suddenly stopped and cried. “Damn it, why must this happen to me! That stupid guy seriously thought I cheated, even though I’ve expi multiple times that I am doing overtime work and not cheating!”
“I am sure he is the ohat cheated and has found a new girlfriend. That’s why he accused me of such a ridiculous reason!” While pining, she pced her right hand on her mouth as her eyes darted around.
‘Trash ! Trash ! Where is the trash ? I feel so nauseous.’ While thinking so, the woman saw a trash in an alley nearby. With incredible speed, she ran toward it.
When she almost reached the trash bin, a crimson gloeared under her feet. The shock from that sudden light made her stomach and she simply couldn’t hold it anymore.
“Blerrgggh” Before the teleportation circle that Cedric left took her, she had actally emptied her stomato the alley. Just wheried to look for something to the mess, she suddenly disappeared from Earth.
The only trace of her existence are those vomits she will never have the time to .
***
Wiping the trace of vomit around her mouth, Nana Tsukiko found herself suddenly appearing in the middle of a backward vilge street. She called them backward because all the buildings ihe vilge are made with a mix of stone and woods.
Turning slightly sober from the shock, she turned her head upward and saw the sun in the sky. Her slightly bloodshot eyes immediately widened from the shock. “How e time suddenly passes so quickly, afternoon literally arrived in the blink of an eye! I think I shouldn’t go drinking anymore.”
She then turned around and checked her surroundings.
On one end of the road, she saw a massive wall surrounding the vilge, or perhaps the city she was in. That wall is around the height of two-storied buildings airely made of gray colored stones. While oher end, he could faintly see a massive building made out of stones.
While she is her surroundings while slightly tipsy, Tsukiko faintly hears the surrounding people’s shocked voices.
A deep voice shouted while pointing in her dire, “To suddenly appear after a fsh of light. She is definitely a blessed!”
Several shocked sounds mixed in as they gasped, “A blessed?!”
A different voice talked loudly. “But I’ve never seen someone like her before iy. Furthermore, the clothes she wore were extremely weird. What kind of material is used for her clothes?”
An old woman chimed in, “Perhaps she is someone from another city who has just awakened her blessing and wishes to give her respect to the king.”
Their shouts made Tsukiko wake up from her daze and observed them.
Arouhere are dozens of people wearing clothes made of animal skins. Actually, calling them clothes is already a praise, mainly because their clothes are pretty messy with holes here and there. It makes the clothes look more like a rag rather than proper clothes.
She observed their facial expression and found out those people looked at her with awe. Seeing her looking at them, they each other for a long time.
After aire minute of nudging at each other, an old man finally came forward and asked Tsukiko. “Blessed Lady, please pardon this old man’s disrespect. Are you a noble from another city? I’ve never seen you in Winter City before.”
Tsukiko paused a moment after she realized the old man spoke in a fn nguage she never heard before. She is a bit fused as to why she could uand his words.
Soon, Tsukiko ected her situation and realized something. ‘Did I just transmigrate to another world? There also seems to be some sort of transtion magic cast ohat allows me to uand the nguage they used.’
Tsukiko realized she had ighe old man for a long time and bowed. “Apologize, sir. I’ve been thinking about something.”
She then quickly replied. “I came from a faraway nd and have just arrived in this city today.”
The old man asked with a questioning look. “Far away nd? Well, it’s alright if this dy doesn’t wish to tell me about it. But I suggest you tell which city you e from when you meet the king.”
Although she is a bit curious why the old man respond as such upon hearing she e from far away nd. But ahing has captured her attention, and she immediately asked, “Meet the king?”
The old man looks at her with surprise. “Aren’t you a blessed that visited Winter City from far away to give your respect to the king? Anyway, if you wish to meet the king, Pariam over there guide you. She is one of the chefs in the pace.”
The old man pointed his hand toward a plump woman that wore slightly more exquisite clothing. The woman’s face slightly ged when she saw the old man poi her.
Seeing Tsukiko staring at her, Pariam awkwardly smiled. “Well, I’ve indeed just po return to the pace. I’ll gdly apany you..”
Tsukiko thought for a moment and decided to join Pariam to visit the pabsp;
Although she doesn’t uand the whole blessed thing. Tsukiko thinks visiting the pace might be the best way for her to gather more information about the situation she’s in.
After Tsukiko followed Pariam for almost an hour, she finally arrived at the pace-like building she saw before. While standio the wall that surrounds the pace, Pariam suddenly said, “Amazing, right? This is a pace built by the first king with the help of thousands of people.”
Although Tsukiko feels like the pace isn’t plete yet, she still nods upon hearing Pariam’s words. After all, even though it is unfihe pace already looks extremely grand.
After walking around the wall for a few misukiko finally arrived at a three meter tall gate.
In front of the gate, a few guards stood in attention and stopped Tsukiko and Pariam. ”Halt!”
One of them went forward and talked with Pariam, “Pariam, why did y another person here? Don’t you know the punishment fing an outsider into the pace?”
“She is a retly awakened blessed that wishes to have an audieh the king.” Pariam calmly nodded and expined. She then turoward Tsukiko and said, “I will take my left first.”
When the guard heard Pariam introduce Tsukiko as a blessed, he hurriedly bowed. “I apologize for the disrespect. A newly awakened blessed indeed has the eet with the king. But first, may we see your blessed power?”
Tsukiko looked at the guard and asked, “ you expin more about this blessed power thing?”
The guard stared at Tsukiko in fusion, “The person who sent you to meet the king hasn’t told you anything about being a blessed?”
Seeing the guard doesn’t turn hostile at her ignorasukiko shook her head and said, “I am only told to meet the king.”
The guard held his forehead and sighed, “Well the me expin it as briefly as I .”
“Blessed power is power that be awakened by some humans. It is said to be a blessing from the creator of the human race. Those who have been blessed will gain power surpassing ordinary humans. Some will have increased strength, while others might be able to jure and trol elements…”
Hearing the guard’s expnation up to that point, Tsukiko thought, ‘Oh, so they are pretty much the magi this world.’
With that information in mind, she began to prepare a pn to let her ehe pabsp;
After all, Tsukiko knows that she isn’t a blessed or whatever it is. So, she o trick her way in with the items on her body.
“...So, you please show me your blessed power now?” When the guard finished his expnation, Tsukiko had already cocted a pn in her mind.
“Alright.” She searched around her pocket and pulled out her smartphone.
Seeing her pulling the smartphone from her pocket, the guard slightly retreated. He then watched as Tsukiko fiddled with her phone for a moment before activating the musid increased the volume.
While she walked iy, Tsukiko determihe civilization in this city should have just reached the bronze age. She also doesn’t think they have any items capable of rec sounds. So, a simple music should do.
‘Who knows, my habit of downloading the song I often listeo would save me in another world.’ she thought while opening the music apps. Tsukiko then randomly chosen a song on her pylist and pressed the py button.
Soon, the sound of an instrumental song be heard by the surrounding guards. While looking at the guard’s surprised expression, she said. “My blessed power is to make light and song e out of this box.”
The surrounding guards listeo the sound ing from her phone. Initially, the expressions on their faces are a bit weird, just like when someone is looking at a moron. But after hearing the sound of many instruments ing from the smartphohey looked at each other while discussing in a low voice.
After a short discussion, one of them ran toward the pad disappeared from Tsukiko’s view.
While Tsukiko paid some attention to the guard that ran into the pace. The guard in front of her smiled and said, “We have never seen someoh power like yours before. So, please e with me and wait in front of the mairance. My colleague has sent the news of your arrival to the king.”
Tsukiko nodded and paused the song. After returning her smartphoo her pocket, she followed the guard toward the pabsp;
After passing through the pace’s garden while appreciating the beauty of another world’s flarden, both of them stood in front of the main door.
Looking at the unnecessarily massive pace door, Tsukiko waits while occasionally chatting with the guard and tries to dig up some information about the world she suddenly found herself in.
