Chapter 3- Dejavu

I once again opened my eyes to an unfamiliar place.

I was lying on a bed inside a small room, made almost only from wood, as if it was carved inside a tree.

A bright light was coming through a window, so I assume I wasn't asleep for a long time.

But.....

how did I get here?

...

...

...

This starts to feel like a deja-vu....

I was,

once again,

hit by a strong impact, that should've killed me, and woke up in an unfamiliar place.

Don't tell me this time I really died and woke up in heaven?!

Horrified by this thought I almost cried.

I was even given a second chance in life, and not just any life, but one with real magic!!! I didn't even get the chance to use magic once!!!!

How come this keep happening to me?! Have I done something to deserve this fate?

As the tears start welling in my eyes, the door at the side of the room was opened , and a girl entered the room.

She was a beautiful girl, with long silver hair reaching her hips and a pale skin.

Her clothes, though, were quite odd. The girl was dressed in an armor! And not only that, she was also carrying a huge sword on her back, almost as big as her, and she was carrying it around like it was nothing.

Confused, I forget my sadness.

I sit up, and as my head couldn't keep up with the situation, I asked:

"Are you perhaps an angel?"

The moment I said it out loud I regretted it, and felt my face turning red.

Hearing what I said and seeing my reaction to it, she suddenly began laughing very hard.

My face turned to an even brighter shade of red, as her laugh, which was actually very beautiful like the sound of little bells, became stronger.

"hahaha...I see that you are healthy enough to sit up and talk, but perhaps...hahaha..I should check your head as well...hahaha" she said, almost choking, since her laughter was very strong.

I got mad.

"I don't know who you are, where I am or what's going on! So, EXCUSE ME, if I'm a little confused!!!" I almost yelled.

"Yeah, you're right... I'm sorry, I was so rude.."

She calmed down a little. Wiping a tear of laughter from the corner of her eye.

"I haven't even introduced myself. My name is Seishin Rei (Japanese introduction- family name first), nice to meet you".

With a beautiful smile on her face she held out her hand to me for a handshake. Seeing she was honestly trying to make amends I shook her hand.

"My name is Earth Orwin (normal introduction), nice to meet you Seishin. Anyway, what is this place? Why am I here?"

"Earth Orwin? Never heard such a weired name. What is Orwin?"

She totally ignored my questions, and made fun of my name at the same time!

"It's just a last name! It has no meaning! And what kind of name is seishin?!" I retaliated.

"Seishin is also a last name and it means spirit. Does that means your first name is Earth? Just like the element?" She asked.

"Yes. But why did you say your last name before your first name when you introduced yourself? Is this a custom here?"

my curiosity overcame my anger. This is a new place with new customs after all.

"Never mind that! Now that you're all better I have to take you to the village chief!"

She totally ignored my question again!!!!!!

This is starting to get annoying, maybe if I'll go with her I'll get answers for my questions from this village chief.

As I got up from the bed I suddenly realized I'm dressed in all white. My brown pants were switched to white ones, and the shirt I'm wearing, even though still white like the one I was wearing below my hoodie, is a different one then before.

Noticing my surprise she said "Oh yeah, your body and clothes were covered in blood, so I had to wash you and change your clothes for you when you were out cold".

The way she said it sounded so light-headed, that I almost cried again.

I'm still a virgin, but this beautiful yet annoying girl touched my naked body and changed my clothes, and I wasn't even awake!!!!

This thought was so depressing and embarrassing at the same time, that I did not know whether to laugh, cry or turn red.

"Come on! The chief is waiting for us"

(writer's note: for some reason I hear her voice as British in my head so don't be surprised by British things she might say)

I decided to give up on doing a tsukkomi, and just followed her out of the room.
