Andreas jumped to his feet the moment he regained his consciousness.
He seemed to be inside a room. It was a quite spacious one-room apartment of sorts. There were furnishings and carpets spread out as far as the eye could see. It appeared that a considerably prosperous individual was residing in this room.
'Wait, what am I doing here?'
When and especially how he had come to this room - he didn't know.
Due to this baffling situation, Andreas was thrown into confusion.
[Scanning...]
[Scanning complete!]
[Perfect compatibility between master's body and soul.]
[Prior Master Authorization.... Received!]
[Beginning System Installation...]
[Installation Complete!]
[System Installed Successfully!]
Andreas blinked his eyes several times because of the strange screen that had appeared in his eyes.
"What?"
He got even more confused due to this absurd situation.
'First I an in some unknown room and now this screen. What the fuck is going on???'
"Who are you?"
A melodic was sounded behind him.
He turned around. And then he gasped.
Behind him was… a girl. A girl so beautiful that he seemed to be unable to even voice his wonder. She was enveloped by her light-rose-colored hair that seemed to almost cradle her upper body. Her seemingly milk-white thighs peeked through from between her rather short skirt and knee socks. On top of that, her looks were crisp and shapely. Despite being slender, as if a sculptor had carved out the ideal figure, her body proportions were very balanced. The light blue scarf around her neck was buried beneath those twin mountains on her moderate sized chest.
But what attracted his eyes the most among all those things was her gaze. If one was to describe the feel, then hers was like an arrow. Staring straight at Andreas with those ruby eyes of hers, they were virtually piercing through him.
"..."
He was forgetting to breath out of fascination and then she suddenly started to approach him. He backed away in confusion, but didn't pay attention to his surroundings, and consequently drove himself into a corner.
She suddenly started to touch all around his body.
'What the f…..'
He watched her as she touched him all over his body and the she started to smell his skin.
He wanted to keep his calm in this situation but his temperature rose more and more.
"Hm…. What an handsome creature, but the smell and softness of the body appear to be close to a human's."
The young girl briefly pondered about something and then continued: "Perhaps I should check the taste as well, just to be sure?" She said and stuck out her small tongue and licked his cheeks.
Andreas body shivered and he instinctively blurted out.
"What the heck are you doing?"
"Oh my, so it seems you're able to speak after all? You should've answered me from the start, then."
"And I was about to answer your question but you started doing weird things"
"Hm. Hm. Do you have a name?"
"Andreas…..Winchester"
"I see. So you seem to have a name. Where have you been born?"
"That's...."
Andreas tried to answer her question, but...…
"…. Huh?"
He didn't know it. Well, More like he realized he wasn't able to recall it.
Holding his forehead he tried to remember, but his memories drew blank.
And then he remembered the question from when he had first woken up moments ago.
"How did I… get here?"
"A little while ago you came out of that."
She said and pointed at the floor. He lowered his gaze following her pointing finger and glimpsed at an incomprehensible, mysterious pattern drawn in a circle. Lined up around the circle were six lit candles.
"That's…?"
"That's the ritual needed to summon the contract beast of a beast master."
"A beast master's… contract beast?"
'And what did she mean by summon? Did I come out of that pattern?'
"This is the Starfarm Kingdom's High-Class Beast Master
Training Institute. The student dorms of the Diaspell Royal
Academy. Incidentally, this is the room of mine, Sherry
Scharlachrot."
Grasping the opportunity, the young lady revealed her name.
And then Sherry slightly tilted her head to the side.
"It's about time that I heard your answer to my previous
question. Have you remembered your birthplace?"
"…I can't remember."
"Not even a little?"
"No… I can't remember anything but my name."
As he was getting more and more weirded about his situation a voice sounded in his head.
