Chapter 4: The Old Guy Meets Someone in the Same Boat

When the girl had come to her senses, she’d been in the middle of a wide-open plain.

There had been nobody else there, and all she’d been able to remember was that just a few moments ago, she’d been playing the online game Swords & Sorceries VII. She’d somehow had a hunch, though, that her life had suddenly changed, and in a major way.

It hadn’t taken long for that hunch to be proven right. She’d managed to open up a status screen, which had contained a message that confirmed it: she was in a new reality. Essentially, the message had told her that the gods of this new world had sealed away a “Dark God” inside a game from her old world, and that a curse let loose upon that Dark God’s in-game death had caused numerous people to die for real.

The girl had then, apparently, been revived in this new world—given a body based on her old one, but with the stats of her in-game character.

Whatever the process, though, the gist was that she had died, and been reincarnated into an entirely different world.

The girl had been aware for quite some time that she was different from the people around her. Even back on Earth, she’d spent her time alone, failing to see eye to eye with her classmates. Her relationships with her younger brother and the rest of her family had been perfectly fine, but somewhere in her heart, she’d been longing for some sort of excitement.

Now she seemed to have gotten just that: her life had turned around completely. She’d found every day in her old world to be unbearably tedious—but here, in another world? Well, that changed things. She hadn’t even known what kind of exciting new experiences she’d be able to find out there in this new world, but she’d figured there’d be something.

Her sense of adventure reaching boiling point, she’d gotten straight to taking her equipment out of her inventory and walking off through the field in search of a city. Along the way, she’d stumbled across a village being attacked by goblins, saved it, partied up with two mercenary women she’d met there, and joined them on a journey to the city of Santor, where she’d registered at the mercenaries’ guild.

Since then, she’d taken on a handful of requests to help pay for her living expenses. And she’d been out on another one just now, having joined a merchant convoy as a guard on a round-trip journey through two cities. But just as they were on the way back, the merchants had come under attack from bandits.

And now she’d found herself taken captive by those bandits. She was in danger, in more ways than one.

Her name was Sumika Irie. Though in this world, she was going by the name of Iris...

“Iris, what do you think we should do?”

“For now, I think we just have to wait for an opportunity. Don’t worry—I’m sure we’ll get one before long.
