Excel Y Hyatt en Sentouin

Por medio de la Presente, Yo, Jaime Isayama Autorizo que Excel Saga se convierta en un Fanfic de Sentouin Hakenshimasu 



Nos encontramos en el cuartel Sur de la organización Kisaragi: 
Hail Lord Il Palazzo. 
 [Sucursal Kisaragi–Across, un edificio sombrío con carteles de “¡Conquista Mundial Completada!” colgando torcidos. Dentro, Lord Il Palazzo se sienta en su trono de acero, serio e imponente. Excel y Hyatt extienden su frase en saludo romano frente a él.]
Il Palazzo: (con voz profunda y fría) Gracias por haber venido, agentes de combate.


Excel:
(salta como si estuviera en un programa de variedades) ¡Excel está lista para servir a Su Excelencia Lord Il Palazzo! ¡Excel dará su vida por su causa gloriosa, Excel baila, Excel canta, Excel...!

[Excel agarra de la mano a Hyatt y la hace girar como si fuera una bailarina de ballet improvisado.]

Hyatt: (cayéndose al suelo) Ugh… Oficial Excel


 yo… cof cof… creo que estoy… muriendo otra vez…

Il Palazzo: (apretando el puente de su nariz) Agente Excel… Te pedí silencio, no un espectáculo de circo.

 Excel: ¡Pero Excel solo intenta resaltar el ambiente de este glorioso encuentro! ¡Excel sabe que el deber de Excel es animar la oscura vida de Lord Il Palazzo, aunque Excel muera en el intento!

[Il Palazzo saca una pistola y presiona el gatillo contra Excel. Excel grita como caricatura, humeando, pero se reincorpora de inmediato con la misma sonrisa maniaca.]


Il Palazzo:   Escuchen. Kisaragi ha conquistado este mundo por completo. La humanidad se encuentra bajo nuestro control absoluto. nuestra organización secreta para la difusión del camino hacia los ideales perfectos, Sin embargo Kisaragi-Across, nuestra sucursal está a punto de desaparecer debido a que es la sucursal con menos victorias, imagino que comprenderéis el motivo de mi tristeza. Todo por su incompetencia en las misiones que se les asigno para la conquista del mundo 
Hyatt: (desmayándose suavemente) …lo siento… 
Excel: ¡No! ¡Excel no permitirá que la sucursal Across desaparezca! ¡Excel ha luchado, ha corrido, ha sangrado! ¡Excel ruega a Su Lord Excelencia Il Palazzo que tenga piedad de Excel, porque Excel lo ama con todo su ser y—!
 Il Palazzo: (con tono amenazante) Una palabra más y haré que tu eliminación sea oficial.

Excel: (tapándose la boca, con los ojos brillando) ¡Excel obedecerá a Su Excelencia Lord Il Palazzo!



Il Palazzo: (vuelve a su tono frío) La central de Kisaragi ha iniciado un plan piloto: enviar combatientes a otros planetas como parte de la expansión galáctica.

Excel: (interrumpiendo, gritando con emoción) ¡Excel lo sabía! ¡Excel irá con Lord Il Palazzo en una gloriosa nave espacial, viajando entre las estrellas, donde Excel conquistará planetas con fuego, con bombas, con tácticas violentas de tortura interplanetaria y—!
Il Palazzo:
(cortante, alzando una mano) No.

Excel: (se detiene en seco) ¿Eh?
Il Palazzo: No habrá nave. No habrá viaje conjunto. Tú y Hyatt serán enviadas a través de una máquina teletransportadora que la central ha preparado. Un dispositivo experimental. Irán… solas.



Hyatt: (medio inconsciente) Tele…trans…por…tador… cof cof… espero que no desintegre órganos internos…



Excel:
(con ojos brillantes, ignorando a Hyatt) ¡Excel lo entiende! ¡Excel dará la vida en esta misión! ¡Excel lo hará en nombre de Su Excelencia Lord Il Palazzo! ¡Excel sabe que aunque muera en un planeta extraño, Lord Il Palazzo la recordará y tal vez la ame eternamente!

Il Palazzo: (mirándola con hastío, presionando otra palanca que la hace casi caer) Basta.


[Excel lucha contra la gravedad intentando caer pero levantando un pulgar hacia Il Palazzo.]

Excel: ¡Excel resiste el castigo de Su Excelencia, Lord Il Palazzo como prueba de fidelidad eterna!


Il Palazzo:
(suspiro profundo) …Será un milagro si sobreviven al teletransporte.


Excel:
¡Excel tiene una duda de suma importancia, Su Excelencia Lord Il Palazzo! ¡Si Excel y Hyatt parten a conquistar otros planetas, ¿quién cuidará la sagrada organización en la ausencia de Excel?!

Il Palazzo: (serio, casi aburrido) Eso ya está resuelto. He reclutado un nuevo miembro. Aqui tenemos al nuevo miembro de Kisaragi-Accross


[Se abre una compuerta lateral y entra una mujer pequeña, de aspecto inocente, con el uniforme de Kisaragi y un peinado de coletas en el cabello. Parece una niña, hasta que sonríe con ojos fríos.]

Sara Cosette: (voz dulce) Encantada de conocerlas. Soy Cosette Sara soy una maquina de matar. Antes trabajaba como asesina. La gente cree que soy una niña adorable de 9 años, y cuando bajaban la guardia… bueno… (hace un gesto con la mano como si cortara un cuello, con una risa inquietante).
Excel:
(emocionada, casi llorando) ¡Excel reconoce la genialidad de Lord Il Palazzo al elegir a alguien tan dulce y mortal! ¡Pero que pena me da la pobre, La gran voluntad del macrocosmos le volvio una niña feliz en el episodio 8 del anime oficial! 


Hyatt:
(tosiendo sangre) …Me alegra volver a verte Cossette … cof cof… … 

Cossete: Yo tambien le alegro de verte  

Hyatt comenzaría a desangrarse tras saludar de mano a Cossette

Il Palazzo: (se levanta de su trono) Buena suerte, Agente 21 Excel,  Agente 22 Hyatt. (sin emoción alguna) Que sobrevivan o no, carece de importancia.

HAIL LORD IL PALATSO 

HAIL LORD IL PALATSO 


HAIL LORD IL PALATSO 

[Il Palazzo baja su palanca. El suelo bajo Excel y Hyatt se abre, haciendo que ambas caigan gritando por un pasadizo metálico en espiral que las lanza directo a la Central de Kisaragi.]


Central de Kisaragi

[Excel y Hyatt aterrizan en una plataforma acolchada. Frente a ellas está Lady Black Lilith, elegante y con bata de laboratorio, sosteniendo una tableta luminosa.]

Black Lilith: (tono profesional) Bienvenidas, agentes de combate 21 y 22. Como saben, esta es una misión experimental. Se les ha entregado un dispositivo de teletransportación portátil: mini-teletransportadores en forma de pulsera. Su mision sera hacer reconocimiento del Lugar, ver nivel de amenaza de sus fuerzas militares, Contruir una base, en la base contruir otra maquina teletransportadora que permita enviar y recibir de ambos lados. Deberan entregar un reporte semanal.

Excel: (levantando el brazo como si hubiera ganado un premio) ¡Excel lo sabía, Excel siempre supo que Kisaragi cuida a sus agentes con la más avanzada tecnología, Excel está lista para demostrar la supremacía de Su Excelencia Lord   Il Palazzo  


Hyatt:
(apenas audible) …si… oficial Excel.  

Black Lilith: (ignorando el show de Excel) Estas pulseras también permiten intercambiar “puntos malos” por recursos necesarios.

Excel: ¿Puntos malos?

Black Lilith: El chip en sus cerebros registra cada acción negativa que realicen: robos, violencia innecesaria, mentiras, humillaciones, etc. Entre más maldad acumulen, más recompensas podrán canjear.

Excel: (con ojos brillando) ¡Excel entiende! ¡Excel ha nacido para ser el mayor motor de puntos malos de la historia! ¡Excel conquistará mundos, pateará gatitos, robará postres, y todo en nombre de Su Excelencia Il Palazzo-

Lo decia mientras ambas ingresaban en la cabina de teletransportacion

Black Lilith: (con un suspiro) …Si, si, si, lo que digan.

[Sin más preámbulos, Lilith acciona la máquina y ambas son encapsuladas en cilindros de luz. En un parpadeo, Excel y Hyatt son teletransportadas.] 


Caída libre a 3000 km de altura

[Excel abre los ojos y ve que están en el cielo, cayendo en picada desde altísima altura.]

Excel: (prendiendo una cámara de grabación en el aire) ¡Reporte de Excel! ¡La teletransportación fue un éxito absoluto! ¡Excel, la grandiosa agente de combate 21, se encuentra viva y en caída libre hacia el glorioso nuevo mundo!

[Mira al costado y ve que Hyatt ya se ha desmayado… pero ella sí tiene paracaídas.]

Excel: ¡Injusticia cósmica! ¡Excel no recibió paracaídas, Excel exige igualdad de condiciones!


[Hyatt muere en pleno aire por la presión y la falta de oxígeno. Excel sin dudar le arranca el paracaídas, lo abre y comienza a planear.]

Excel: ¡Excel confirma que la teletransportación es un éxito total, Excel ahora está descendiendo con precisión militar, rumbo al glorioso destino que Su Excelencia Il Palazzo ha dispuesto para ella!


[Al mirar abajo, Excel nota que el planeta está dividido en dos: de un lado, un desierto interminable; del otro, un bosque espeso tipo Amazonas. Entre ambos, en la parte desértica, se ve un castillo medieval.]

Excel: ¡Excel confirma visualmente un terreno hostil y misterioso! ¡Excel jura que conquistará ese castillo en nombre de Il Palazzo incluso si Excel muere cien veces en el proceso!

[Excel  aterriza en el desierto, haciendo un trompo ridículo con el paracaídas. Segundos después, Hyatt revive como si nada, levantándose polvorienta.]

Hyatt: (voz débil) oficial Excel… parece… que he vuelto a la vida otra vez… cof cof

Excel: (prendiendo de nuevo la cámara, ignorando la situación) ¡Excel continúa el reporte oficial! ¡Excel y Hyatt han completado exitosamente la inserción en el nuevo mundo! ¡Excel marcha valientemente por el desierto, con la certeza de que Su Excelencia Lord Il Palazzo está observando! Iremos rumbo a un ciudad que vimos mientras estabamos cayendo

Hyatt: (caminando detrás, tambaleante) …ojalá… haya agua… 

 Excel y Hyatt avanzan tambaleantes por las dunas interminables. Excel prende la cámara con entusiasmo maniático. Excel agita la cámara hacia el horizonte, con la visión fija en el castillo.

Hyatt: Oficial Excel...

Excel: Dame un momento Hyatt, estoy haciendo el reporte ¡Excel declara que este será el glorioso inicio de la Conquista Planetaria de Excel, agente 21 de Kisaragi–Across!

Hyatt: Pero Oficial Excel...

¡Reporte de Excel! ¡Excel confirma que el aire es completamente respirable, aunque Excel prefiere la brisa urbana con smog de la Tierra! ¡Excel también confirma que divisó una ciudad en medio del desierto, a unas horas de aquí! Excel comenzará investigando el área circundante, porque Excel es profesional, meticulosa y…



Excel:
Que ahora no Hyatt 

[Un gruñido extraño interrumpe. Detras de ellas pueden ver unas criaturas con forma de perros… pero cubiertos de hojas, tallos y flores carnívoras en lugar de hocico.]

Excel: ¡Esto es inaceptable! ¡Excel exige explicaciones! ¡Estos animales no se parecen en nada a los de la Tierra! ¡Excel entrenó para luchar contra perros normales, no contra canes con botánica integrada!

Hyatt: (corriendo débilmente) ¡Oficial Excel, ! ¡No tengo puntos malos para usar el brazalete!

Excel: (deteniéndose de golpe, con iluminación dramática) ¡Excel lo había olvidado! ¡El glorioso brazalete de la Central!

[Excel saca una hoja arrugada, escribe “MOTO DE ESCAPE ULTRA COOL”, la acerca al brazalete, y de inmediato un contador digital marca –Puntos insuficientes.]

Excel: ¡EXCEL NO HA INVOCADO TECNOLOGÍA AVANZADA PORQUE NO TIENE PUNTOS MALOS!


[Excel sin mas opcion se pone a pelear a puño limpio contra las criaturas .]

Excel: ¡Excel confirma la huida exitosa gracias a la maldad acumulada en su corazón!

Hyatt: (desmayándose ) … oficial excel  creo que… voy a vomitar

A las puertas de la ciudad

[Excel se  detiene  dramáticamente ante una muralla enorme con portones de acero.  y prende la cámara de nuevo.]




Excel:
¡Reporte de Excel! ¡Excel está a punto de ingresar a la civilización nativa! ¡Excel lo declara en exclusiva: será pan comido conquistar este lugar en nombre de Su Excelencia Il Palazzo! ¡EXCEL lo garantiza al 120%!

..Las formas de vida inteligente, que existen en la ubicación actual, se parecen mucho a los humanos. Aunque no entiendo su idioma. 

[Excel cuelga la cámara en su cinturón. Justo en ese momento, un escuadrón de mujeres cabalgando sobre majestuosos unicornios sale disparado de las puertas. Sus lanzas brillan con luz mágica y de inmediato atraviesan a los perros-planta que todavía perseguían a las agentes.]

[La comandante, de cabello azul cielo y armadura pesada blanca, se coloca frente a Excel y Hyatt, mirandola con desconfianza.]

Comandante: (en idioma local, firme y autoritario) “¿Qué es esta extraña maquinaria? ¿Quiénes son ustedes?”

Excel: (riendo nerviosamente, girándose hacia Hyatt) ¡Excel necesita una traducción inmediata, Hyatt!

Hyatt: (jadeando) Yo… cof cof… fui francotiradora… pero no princesa extraterrestre…

Excel: ¡Eso no sirve! ¡Excel no sabe si este fanfic trabaja con los personajes en su versión anime o manga! ¡Excel exige coherencia de continuidad!

[Las palabras incomprensibles de Excel, más sus aspavientos, hacen que las guerreras unicornio bajen sus lanzas con gesto de sospecha.]

Comandante: (en idioma local) “Espías. Captúrenlas.”

[Excel y Hyatt, aunque no entienden la lengua, deducen por el lenguaje corporal lo que pasa cuando un grupo de amazonas armadas las rodea y les pone grilletes.]

Excel: (mientras la arrastran) ¡Excel protesta formalmente! ¡Excel no es espía, Excel es conquistadora legítima, agente 21 de Kisaragi–Across! ¡Excel exige una entrevista exclusiva con Lord  Il Palazzo-como aval!


Hyatt:
(desvaneciéndose mientras la cargan) …oficial excel- al menos… nos dieron… alojamiento…

[Las dos son arrojadas a una celda de piedra húmeda y fría, acusadas de espías ]


La Celda era oscura, Excel saca su cámara improvisada con entusiasmo enfermizo.]

Excel: ¡Reporte de Excel! ¡Excel declara oficialmente que la misión ha salido mal, Excel y Hyatt han sido capturadas por nativas hostiles! ¡Excel añade que el idioma local es imposible de entender, ni siquiera con señas universales de amistad como “Excel está aquí para conquistarlas”!

Hyatt: (tirada en el suelo, tosiendo) …oficial excel creo que… voy a morir en cualquier momento…

Al día siguiente

[Snow, la comandante del escuadrón, entra a la celda. Su porte militar impone respeto. Señala los uniformes negros con líneas azul eléctrico de Excel y Hyatt.]

Snow: (en idioma local) “¿De dónde provienen esas armaduras negras fosforescentes con patrones azules? Ningún herrero del reino podría forjarlas…”

Excel: (riendo, sin entender nada) ¡Excel confirma que la comandante azulita tiene muchas preguntas! ¡Excel no entiende ni una palabra, pero Excel asume que quiere casarse con Excel como forma de alianza diplomática!

Hyatt: (mirando fijo a Snow, todavía moribunda) …no… creo que… se refiera… a matrimonio… cof cof…


Meses después

[Las caballeras, con paciencia sobrehumana, intentan día tras día enseñar el idioma local a Excel y Hyatt. Finalmente, Excel prende la cámara otra vez.]  

Excel: ¡Reporte de Excel! ¡Excel orgullosamente declara que ha aprendido el idioma nativo! Bueno… en realidad fue Hyatt quien lo entendió primero y luego lo explicó a Excel, porque las locales no sabían cómo hacerlo sin morir de frustración. ¡Pero Excel, como líder nata, se lleva el crédito oficial para el archivo de Lord Il Palazzo

Hyatt: (susurrando, débil) …siento… que los manuales de idiomas… deberían incluir menos golpes 

Explosiones en la distancia

[Se escuchan estruendos afuera de la fortaleza. Excel y Hyatt miran hacia la ventana enrejada.]


Excel:
¡Excel confirma! ¡El glorioso Reino Azulito está en guerra! ¡Excel hará un reporte fiel para Su Excelencia Il Palazzo , incluso si Excel es sometida a los más horribles métodos de tortura!

Hyatt: (sentada en la silla de la celda) …oficial excel… yo… no resistí [Hyatt se desploma lentamente, muerta una vez más.]

Excel: ¡Hyatt! ¡Resiste, Excel necesita tu débil cuerpo para validar el reporte!

[Guardias entran, suspiran y cargan el cadáver de Hyatt como si se decepcionaran. Lo llevan a la basura  

[De noche, Excel fuerza la cerradura con los dientes (con un éxito milagroso) y escapa. Corre a la zona de desechos, revolviendo la basura hasta encontrar a Hyatt… viva.]

Excel: (abrazándola con fervor) ¡Hyatt! ¡Excel sabía que la muerte no podría detenerte! ¡Excel confirma el éxito de la operación de rescate número 512!

Hyatt: (llena de moscas, apenas abriendo los ojos) …oficial excel no sé si estoy viva… o… aún muerta…

Excel: (prendiendo cámara) ¡Reporte de Excel! ¡Excel ha recuperado a su invaluable compañera Hyatt del basurero oficial! ¡Excel aprovecha este momento para preguntarse cómo estará su comida de emergencia, a la que Excel amorosamente llama “ Menchi”!, O que estara haciendo Pedro con eso de que recupero a su hijo y a su sexy esposa


Hyatt:
(parpadeando) …Disculpe oficial excel… ¿y quién es Pedro?

Excel: (con toda la seriedad del mundo) Pedro es un amigo colombiano que Excel conoció en una misión ultrasecreta..

Hyatt: (confundida, débil) …Oficial excel… será mejor retirarnos

.[Excel y Hyatt, agotadas, deciden caminar por los alrededores del muro, intentando no llamar la atención.]


Excel:
¡Excel reporta que Excel y Hyatt se desplazarán discretamente fuera de la muralla para pasar desapercibidas, como agentes de infiltración expertas!

Hyatt: (arrastrando los pies) …Oficial excel creo que… la discreción se arruinó… desde que hablaste a gritos en la cámara…

Excel: ¡Excel grita por protocolo oficial, no por discreción!

[Ambas continúan su marcha en la oscuridad del desierto, con la ciudad amurallada a sus espaldas y las explosiones aún resonando en la distancia.]

[Excel y Hyatt se encuentran agazapadas tras unas rocas, con la cámara grabando en visión nocturna. Frente a ellas, la bruja pelirroja dirige a los zombies que emergen lentamente de la arena.]

Excel: (susurrando fuerte) ¡Hyatt! ¡Hyatt, lo viste, lo viste! ¡Esto es como esas películas gringas donde el mundo termina porque alguien jugó con la ouija equivocada!

Hyatt: (débil) Señorita Excel… si terminamos rodeadas de zombies… ¿sería inapropiado pedirle que me deje desmayarme ahora?


Excel:
¡Prohibido desmayarse! ¡Eso es lo que primero hacen los extras, y luego mueren! ¡Nosotras somos protagonistas!

[Excel enfoca el zoom de la cámara hacia la bruja: la joven sacerdotisa de cabello rojo se tambalea descalza, con ojos amarillos que parecen mirar a ninguna parte. Los zombies obedecen cada leve movimiento de sus manos.]

Excel: (tragando saliva) Uuuh… ok, esto ya no se siente como una película divertida. ¡Esto se siente como un DLC raro de Resident Evil!

Hyatt: (en voz baja) …¿Por qué… parecen estar… practicando coreografías?


[Los zombies forman filas, levantando los brazos en sincronía. La bruja murmura con voz soñolienta.]

Grimm: …prepare los cuerpos… el festival se acerca… todos deben marchar…

Excel: (mordiéndose los labios para no gritar) ¡¿El festival?! ¡¿Qué clase de festival necesita zombies en formación militar?!

Hyatt: (débil sonrisa) …Quizá… sea un festival de… disfraces… con mucha… autenticidad… [se desploma medio muerta sobre Excel]

Excel: ¡Hyatt, no me digas eso! ¡No puedes convertirte en zombie antes de la fiesta, todavía no bailamos!

[Excel, arrastrando a Hyatt, retrocede lentamente. La cámara sigue grabando mientras el coro de gemidos zombies se vuelve casi rítmico, como un ensayo de baile macabro.]

Excel: (susurrando, nerviosa) Ok, cambio de planes… ¡grabamos lo suficiente para el reporte! ¡Ahora corramos antes de que alguien nos pida unirse al club de danza de los muertos!

Hyatt: (medio inconsciente) …oficial excel-si me convierto en zombie… prometo… marchar contigo…

Excel: (con los ojos húmedos) ¡No digas eso! ¡Eso es demasiado adorable y perturbador al mismo tiempo! ¡Hyatt, vámonos ya!

[Ambas se alejan torpemente, con Hyatt arrastrada como muñeca de trapo, mientras los cánticos zombies se pierden en la distancia. La cámara aún graba hasta que Excel la apaga de un manotazo.]


Al dia siguiente

Excel: (despertando sobresaltada) ¡Ugh! ¡Qué frío! Hyatt, ¿por qué no me avisaste que se me estaba congelando la lengua en el poste de luz?

Hyatt: (apenas abre los ojos) Porque… estaba muerta 

Oficial: ¡Ustedes dos! ¿No saben que está prohibido dormir en el parque del amor?

Excel: (se levanta de un salto militar) ¡Lo siento, agente! ¡Mi subordinada y yo estábamos en una importante misión de reconocimiento estratégico de la… banca pública!

Hyatt: (tos con sangre) Lo que mi oficial Excel- quiere decir es… que somos… turistas… muy… pobres…

Oficial: (suspira) Pues recojan sus cosas. Aquí no es hotel. 

 Excel: (en voz alta, teatral) ¡Atención mundo! ¡Excel Excel está investigando los secretos ocultos de este lugar! Ahora… ¿qué demonios se supone que hay aquí?

De pronto,suenan tambores .Calles llenas de colores, faroles y cantos. De ecenas de muñecos gigantes comienzan a caminar, algunos abrazan a personas, otros entran a las casas sin serdetenidos. Excel se queda boquiabierta.

 Excel: ¡Wow! ¡Un desfile de colosos de peluche kamikazes!

Hyatt: (débil pero seria) Oficial Excel, investigué anoche. Según la tradición… los fallecidos regresan en estas figuras por dos días… para estar con sus familias…

Excel: (carcajada) ¡Jajajaja! Hyatt, Hyatt… siempre con tus delirios hemoglobínicos. ¡Estos son claramente disfraces con aire comprimido y baterías de repuesto!


Excel:
(congelada un segundo, luego lo graba con su cámara) ¡Esto es…! ¡Esto es absolutamente ilógico y por ende prueba irrefutable de que este planeta tiene control absoluto sobre la muerte! ¡Excel Excel será la primera en revelarlo al universo!

Hyatt: (susurrando) Lo dije…


Excel: (burlona) ¡Oh, oh, oh! ¡Pero si es la damita pelirroja en versión con ruedas de madera ¿Qué pasó? ¿Se te acabaron las piernas en la pista de baile?

Hyatt: (jadeando, preocupada) Oficial Excel- … creo que… la acabamos de ofender mucho…

Excel: ¡Perfecto! ¡Eso significa que nuestra investigación está progresando! ¡Corre, Hyatt, corre como si tu vida dependiera de ello!

Hyatt: (dejándose arrastrar, desmayándose a medias) Siempre… depende de ello… Excel y Hyatt corrían a toda prisa por las calles polvorientas, esquivando a los soldados y a los civiles curiosos.


Chica pelirroja en silla de ruedas (alzando la mano):

—¡Oh, Gran Señor Zenarith, maldice a estas blasfemas! ¡Desvístelas en la vía pública!

Un rayo de luz salió de su dedo, iluminando la calle como si fuera un reflector improvisado. Excel se giró justo a tiempo para ver cómo la maldición rebotaba como un balón de goma.

Excel (gritando mientras corre):
—¡Hyatt, mira! ¡La maldición se le devolvió!

La mujer en silla de ruedas soltó un grito cuando de pronto toda su ropa desapareció, dejándola completamente desnuda frente a los transeúntes.

Excel (con los ojos brillando):
—¡Esto es televisión en vivo, Hyatt! ¡Es material de primera!

Hyatt (jadeando mientras corre):
—Señorita Excel… no creo que debamos… comentar sobre la… desnudez de una devota…

Excel:
—¡Al contrario! ¡Esto es reconocimiento del terreno !

OBTUVISTES PUNTOS MALOS


Un día después, Excel y Hyatt golpearon a dos oficiales distraídos en un callejón. Con la eficiencia de dos gatas callejeras, los arrastraron tras unas cajas y les quitaron la ropa para disfrazarse.

Obtuviste puntos malos


Excel (ajustándose el uniforme):

—¡Perfecto! ¡Ya estamos de incógnito!

Hyatt (mirándose el uniforme tres tallas más grande):
—Creo que… me queda algo suelto…

Excel:
—¡Eres delgada, Hyatt! ¡Lo compensas con actitud!

Se infiltraron en la zona militar, camufladas entre las tropas. Excel observaba con atención un escuadrón en particular: una niña de apenas 12 años marchaba con expresión fría, y al lado de ella estaba la misma mujer en silla de ruedas

Excel (susurrando):


—¡Hyatt, mira eso! Esa niña… no es normal. ¡Parece un intento de esos mutantes estilo Kisaragi!

Hyatt (asintiendo):
—Tiene… un aura muy extraña…

De pronto, el escuadrón fue enviado a enfrentarse a una chica demonio de piel morena, cabello blanco con destellos plateados y un bañador rojo brillante. Sus manos ardían con piroquinesis, lanzando llamas como un lanzallamas viviente.

Excel (emocionada): —¡Hyatt! ¡Esa demonio está al nivel de Lady Belial! ¡Piroquinesis en traje de baño, es como un especial de verano!

La niña se adelantó y, golpeo el fuego, deviandolo.

Excel (boquiabierta):
—¡Empujo el fuego! ¡EMPUJO Y GOLPEO EL  FUEGO, HYATT!

Hyatt (apretando las manos):
—Esto… Creo que es una hazaña nivel ejecutiva de Kisaragi…

Entonces apareció un demonio aún más grande, rugiendo como un trueno. Estaba por aplastar a la demonio piroquinética, cuando la mujer en silla de ruedas levantó el dedo y lanzó una maldición. El coloso quedó paralizado en seco.

Excel (anonadada):
—¡¿Viste eso, Hyatt?! ¡Esa mujer puede paralizar demonios gigantes con solo apuntar!

Hyatt (con voz débil):

—Es… surreal… pero cierto…


Más tarde, Excel se grababa con entusiasmo, apuntando la cámara hacia ella misma.

Excel (haciendo su videoreporte):


—¡Aquí la Agente Excel en misión de reconocimiento! Reportando que en la guerra local mandaron a una mujer en silla de ruedas y, ¡oh sí!, esa mujer fue capaz de maldecir a su adversario. ¡Inmovilizó a un demonio gigante!

Hyatt (detrás, levantando la mano):
—Confirmo… que la señorita Excel no está exagerando. Yo también lo vi… cosas muy surreales pasaron en esa guerra…

Excel (con sonrisa triunfal):
—¡Y yo, Excel, lo registré todo para la gloria de Kisaragi! ¡Nadie me podrá decir que no soy la mejor espía del universo!


En un Callejón oscuro de la ciudad, Excel y Hyatt derrumban basureros para acumular puntos malos.]

Excel: ¡Hyatt, rápido, tira ese contenedor de basura! ¡Necesitamos piezas de repuesto y los puntos malos no se generan solos!

Hyatt: tos ligera Claro oficial, Excel aunque… esto… ¿no es técnicamente vandalismo?

Excel: ¡Precisamente! Vandalismo, caos, disturbios menores… ¡todo suma al glorioso proyecto de Kisaragi-Across  ! ¡Pronto tendremos cafeterías, restaurantes, servicios maid y una máquina teletransportadora!

Hyatt: sonríe débilmente …Me preocupa más la tasa de mortalidad de nuestras clientas 

Excel: ¡Detalles, Hyatt! ¡Detalles secundarios!

(Un ruido de pasos metálicos interrumpe. Una mujer en silla de ruedas con cabello rojo aparece frente a ellas, con un uniforme raro.)

Mujer: ¡Alto ahí, blasfemas! Por orden de mi capitán, debo controlar a los revoltosos nocturnos... ¿Porque siempre son mujeres, por que no puede haber hombres a los que perdornar a cambio de una cita?

Excel (boquiabierta): …espera, espera, espera… ¿tú no eres la misma mujer pelirroja que vimos controlar zombies hace semanas… y cuya cabeza se aplastó como sandía ayer?

Hyatt: Sí… recuerdo claramente la textura… tos sangrienta

Mujer: con orgullo Correcto. Soy Grimm, sacerdotisa de Lord Zenarith. Morir es parte de mi jornada laboral. Mi capitán me castigó por morir en servicio, así que ahora me toca hacer de patrullera nocturna…

Excel: … ¿cómo que “morir en servicio”?

Grimm: Sí, sí, revivir es normal... para mi.  Pero si al menos fueran un par de hombres guapos, las dejaría ir con una cita… ¡pero no! Son dos blasfemas.

Excel: mirándola fijamente Tu desesperación por conseguir marido y tu habilidad de volver de la muerte me recuerdan a alguien… pero no sé a quién…

Hyatt: tranquila Yo nunca he buscado marido, Oficial Excel 

Excel: arquea ceja con sarcasmo Y yo solo he estado esperando la mano de Lord Il Palazzo.

Grimm: ofendida, con ojos encendidos ¡Insolentes! ¡Oh, gran Zenarith, trae infortunio a estas irrespetuosas! ¡Que sufran como cuando te golpeas el dedo chiquito del pie!

(De repente, un aura brillante rebota contra Grimm. Ella grita y se cae de la silla de ruedas, sujetándose el pie.)

Grimm: ¡AAAAAAYYY MI DEDO CHIQUITOOOO!

Excel: agarrando a Hyatt de la mano ¡No necesitamos explicaciones científicas! ¡Corre, Hyatt! ¡CORRE!

Hyatt: jadeando, débilmente …sí, oficial Excel

(Ambas huyen dejando a Grimm revolcándose en el piso. Más tarde, en su habitación alquilada, Excel graba un reporte con una grabadora improvisada hecha de latas y engranajes.)

Excel (grabando): “Reporte nocturno número 237: encontramos a una sacerdotisa zombie en silla de ruedas con complejo de solterona. Su maldición se le rebotó, confirmando que la justicia de Excel es universal. Continuamos acumulando puntos malos para armar la teletransportadora. Hyatt se desplomó tres veces. Fin del reporte.”


Hyatt:
desmayada en el suelo, con una mancha de sangre en la boca Buen… tra… baj…o, oficial… colapsa

[Bosque del planeta, amanecer]

Excel: (con entusiasmo) ¡Hyatt, Hyatt, mira esto! ¡Huevos de rana alienígena! Son perfectos para mi investigación de campo.
Hyatt: (con tono apagado) …se ven un poco inestables, Excel. ¿Estás segura de que—
Excel: (la interrumpe) ¡Bah! Yo sobreviví a la guerrilla colombiana y encontré el camino de regreso a Japón, ¿qué tan peligroso puede ser mover unos huevitos?

(Excel agarra con torpeza los huevos, los sacude un poco para mostrarlos mejor. De pronto, BOOM, los huevos explotan como granadas, lanzando humo y trozos de lodo por todas partes.)

Excel: (cubierta de barro, riéndose nerviosa) …ja-ja-ja… ¡eran granadas biológicas camufladas! ¡Ingenioso, planeta hostil, ingenioso!
Hyatt: (cayendo de rodillas) …excel… siento que mi sangre me abandona nuevamente…

(Hyatt se desploma lentamente. Excel corre a su lado, pero detrás de ella unos pequeños sapitos verdes con ojos saltones comienzan a croar rítmicamente.)

Excel: (girando la cabeza) ¿Qué son esos…?
Hyatt: (con voz débil) …los locales los llaman… Mipyokopyoko… (se desmaya).


Excel:
(entusiasmada) ¡Mipyokopyoko! ¡El nombre más adorable para criaturas que seguramente también explotan!

(Uno de los sapitos salta hacia ella, pero en lugar de explotar, emite un sonido seco. Otro explota con un destello brillante, lanzando metralla de hueso por el aire. Excel agarra el cuerpo de Hyatt y huye a trompicones.)


[Habitación alquilada, noche]

(Excel coloca el cuerpo de Hyatt en la cama improvisada. El lugar está sucio, lleno de papeles con garabatos y botellas de agua vacías.)

Excel: (jadeando) ¡Hyatt llegamos. 

(Hyatt abre los ojos un instante, como si nada hubiera pasado.)

Hyatt: …qué amable… Excel… creo que vi a la Virgen… otra vez…
Excel: (anotando frenéticamente en una libreta) Nota: la fauna local incluye ranas explosivas  Mipyokopyoko, probablemente diseñados por alguna entidad que odia a los exploradores… pero útiles para fines bélicos.

(Excel observa el cuerpo debilitado de Hyatt, sonríe con resolución y mira por la ventana hacia el bosque iluminado por la luna.)

Excel: ¡Este planeta me desafía a cada paso! ¡Pero Excel no retrocede! ¡Haré de este lugar el próximo campo de entrenamiento para futuros agentes secretos de Across!

(Al amanecer, Excel y Hyatt regresan al bosque con sus mochilas improvisadas, grabadora y cuadernos. El ambiente está cargado de ruidos de criaturas gigantes.)

Excel: ¡Hyatt-chan observa! ¡La naturaleza salvaje nos recibe con una batalla titánica de la cadena alimenticia! ¡Langostas azules del tamaño de un autobús versus serpientes rojas que parecen tuberías hidráulicas animadas! ¡EXCEL ESTÁ EXTASIADA!


Hyatt:
(débil, tosiendo) …no puedo distinguir si es un sueño… o si de verdad estoy viendo un plato combinado peleando solo…


Excel:
¡No es sueño, Hyatt-chan, ¡Es la realidad! ¡Y Excel la conquistará! (saca una red ridículamente pequeña y un cuchillo de cocina) Con esta tecnología de punta procederemos a…


(Antes de que pueda terminar, ambas ven cómo una serpiente roja gigante se derrumba, atravesada en la cabeza por un hachazo. Aparece una niña indígena de unos 12 años, con máscara tallada de madera y un hacha primitiva cubierta de sangre.)


Excel:
¡¿EEEHHHHHHHHHH?! 

Hyatt: …Los niños indigenas de esta planta son muy fuertes…


Excel:
¡Una niña… una niña que caza serpientes gigantes como si fueran lombrices de jardín! ¡Hyatt-chan estoy en shock cultural!




(Hyatt señala con el dedo hacia los árboles, donde se ven decenas de serpientes gigantes empaladas en estacas colosales.)

Hyatt: …basado en la decoración… diría que es algún tipo de… ritual de iniciación tribal…


Excel:
(sacando la grabadora y hablando con solemnidad) Informe secreto de Excel: NO ESTOY MINTIENDO… cuando digo que una niña de doce años venció a una serpiente colosal con nada más que un hacha de piedra. Y que es… aparentemente… sólo parte de un ritual escolar de iniciación.


Hyatt:
…si son asi de niños… No quiero saber como seran los adultos 

(Excel sigue grabando, pero su entusiasmo sube de nivel repentinamente. Ella tiembla, entre orgullo y miedo.)

Excel: ¿Tal vez exagero? ¿Tal vez estoy atribuyendo a esta cultura un salvajismo que en realidad es un noble acto simbó—


(De pronto, el follaje cruje y entra la “niña mutante” que Excel había visto en su infiltración anterior, aquella capaz de patear fuego de una demonio de nivel Belial. Su presencia es opresiva. Camina hacia el cadáver de la serpiente, reclamándolo con una voz ronca y exigente.)

Niña mutante: ¡Ese cuerpo es mío! ¡Aparta, insignificante!


(La niña indígena se planta frente a ella, blandiendo su hacha y negando con la cabeza.)

Excel: ¡OHHHHHH! ¡Rivalidad entre niñas asesinas de proporciones mitológicas! ¡La antropología me sonríe!

Hyatt: (tosiendo sangre) …parecen tan iguales… ninguna se está conteniendo… ¿y si son diosas disfrazadas de preadolescentes?

(Ambas niñas chocan violentamente, una con el hacha y la otra con una fuerza bruta antinatural. El suelo tiembla, los árboles se parten. Excel se esconde detrás de una roca, pero asoma la cabeza con ojos brillando de emoción.)

Excel: ¡Eeeehhhhhh! ¡Son igualadas! ¡Esto no es una pelea de niñas, es un choque de titanes en versión compacta! ¡El futuro de Across necesita importar esta tradición!

Hyatt: …sólo espero que no nos vean… o seremos el postre…o peor

(Excel y Hyatt, aún temblando de emoción y trauma, salen del bosque con paso rápido. Excel se detiene un momento y dicta su informe a la grabadora mientras caminan.)


Excel:
Reporte de campo de Excel: Confirmado. Los nativos indígenas poseen fuerza descomunal, habilidades de combate instintivas y un sistema social basado en rituales que involucran el asesinato de criaturas gigantescas con herramientas primitivas. Los mutantes del planeta presentan niveles de poder comparables a las ejecutivas de Kisaragi. 

Conclusión: ¡Este planeta es una joya para el reclutamiento de Across!

Hyatt: …me siento como una molécula débil en medio de un cóctel explosivo…


Excel:
¡Pero estamos vivas! ¡Excel es una genio de la supervivencia!

(Ambas encuentran un claro y se sientan a descansar. El sol empieza a bajar, tiñendo el cielo de naranja.)

Hyatt: …ojalá tuviera algo de té… o una transfusión de sangre entera…

Excel: (sudando y con barro en toda la cara) ¡Ufff! Hyatt … creo que este planeta quiere matarnos… ¡pero también quiere que admiremos su folklore!

Hyatt: …me siento como en una excursión escolar… al infierno…

Excel: ¡Excursión antropológica, Hyatt Y EXCEL NO FALLARÁ!

(En ese momento aparece un anciano con barba blanca, bastón de madera torcida y un sombrero de paja. Tiene mirada amable y voz temblorosa.)

Anciano: ¿Eh? ¿Alex, Alexis? 

Anciano: ¡Ohhhh… hijas mías! ¡Por fin las encuentro! ¡Mis pequeñas! ¡Venid con papi!


Excel:
(susurrando a Hyatt) ¿…qué? ¿Dijo hijas?


Hyatt:
(mirando confundida) …no recuerdo tener un papá druida…

Excel: (en voz alta, con cara de “ok, por qué no”) ¡¡SÍ, PADRE!! ¡Aquí estamos, tus hijas perdidas en el bosque de la muerte! ¡Volvimos!


Anciano:
¡Ay, qué alegría! ¿Quieren venir conmigo al bosque por un poco de miel? ¡Es la temporada perfecta! ¡Las abejas están activas!

Hyatt: (murmurando) …no suena a una buena idea… Excel… las abejas que vimos… eran… enormes…

Excel: (sonriendo nerviosa) ¡Sí… esas abejas parecían helicópteros con aguijones! ¡Pero seguro el anciano está loco y muere en tres… dos… uno…

Excel: ¡Sí! ¡Exacto! (le sonríe al anciano) ¡Padre, vaya usted! ¡Nosotras cuidamos el… fuego imaginario aquí!


Anciano:
¡Como gusten! ¡Viejo Alexandrite Galvenier se las arregla solo! ¡Volveré antes del anochecer!

(El anciano entra tranquilamente al bosque. Excel suspira y se desploma en el pasto.)

Excel: Nota mental: El anciano está completamente desquiciado. Es probable que ya esté siendo devorado por una abeja reina del tamaño de un dirigible.

Hyatt: …pobre hombre… al menos murió creyendo que tenía hijas…

(Excel saca su cuaderno, escribe frenéticamente un reporte

 Excel y Hyatt lo ven alejarse mientras beben de una cantimplora oxidada.)


Excel:
(sacando su cuaderno y escribiendo rápido) Reporte de Excel: se detecta la presencia de un individuo local con delirio paternal, posiblemente senil, que camina directo hacia una muerte segura a manos de abejas del tamaño de tanques. Recomendación: NO SEGUIRLO. Recomendación secundaria: lamentar su muerte con poesía.

(Excel activa su brazalete teletransportador y envía el reporte a Kisaragi-Across HQ. Hace un gesto solemne.)

Hyatt: …pobre hombre… al menos murió creyendo que tenía hijas…

Excel: Adiós, viejo loco… seguro ahora eres parte del ecosistema…

Hyatt: …o de la colmena…

Excel: ¡Reporte enviado! ¡KISARAGI-ACROSS estará orgulloso! ¡O al menos menos decepcionado que de costumbre!

(El sol ya casi se ha puesto. Ambas se levantan para volver a su base improvisada, cuando de pronto…)


(Del bosque sale el anciano Alexandrite Galvenier. Está completamente ileso, silbando alegremente, con un pedazo colosal de colmena colgando de la mano, cubierta de miel dorada y brillante. En la boca mastica tranquilo, y en su mano usa un aguijón de abeja gigante como palillo dental.)

Excel: ¿EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHH?!?

Hyatt: …¿acaba de

Anciano: ¡Ahhh, qué buena miel! ¡Dulce, natural, con un toque a veneno paralizante, como me gusta! ¿Quieren probar, hijas mías?


Excel:
¡HYATT-chan ¿ES POSIBLE QUE ESE ANCIANO SEA UN SEMIDIOS?!

Hyatt: …o un loco inmortal con alergia selectiva a la muerte…

Excel: ¡Excel… Excel ya no entiende nada… pero se siente humillada!


Excel:
(grabando en pánico y emoción) NUEVO REPORTE: El anciano no murió. ¡El anciano no solo sobrevivió, sino que robó miel de las abejas del infierno y salió sin un rasguño! ¡USA EL AGUIJÓN COMO MONDADIENTES! ¡EXCEL NO ESTÁ EXAGERANDO! ¡REITERO: NO ESTOY EXAGERANDO!


Anciano:
¿Qué hacen tan serias? ¡Vamos a la aldea! ¡Les contaré de la vez que peleé contra una salamandra de cinco cabezas y me regaló una esposa!

Excel: ¡EXCEL ESTÁ FUERA DE SERVICIO! ¡DEMASIADA CULTURA POR HOY!

Hyatt: (desmayándose lentamente) …me gustaría… pero lo rechazo… 

[Excel y Hyatt, al borde de la locura, redactando su reporte al cuartel Kisaragi mientras anochece.]

Excel: (escribiendo rápido en su cuaderno electrónico)"¡Reporte de campo número 327! ¡ATENCIÓN, Corporación Kisaragi! Este planeta está totalmente jodido. Los ancianos entran y salen del bosque como si fueran a comprar pan. ¿Qué clase de mundo es este donde los viejos son más letales que los mutantes?"


Hyatt:
(con su tono suave, y medio desmayándose)
"oficial Excel… tal vez… el anciano sea en realidad… una entidad superior disfrazada… o tal vez sólo… esté loco como nosotras… cof cof…"


Excel:
(apretando los dientes)
"¡No, Hyatt! ¡No puedes morir ahora! ¡Tenemos que construir una base secreta, aunque tengamos que conquistar este bosque maldito con nuestras propias manos!"


[A la mañana siguiente, ambas aparecen con palas, planos y cara de zombies sin dormir.]


Excel:

"¡Comienza la colonización oficial del Bosque Número 1 de Lord Excel! ¡Hyatt, prepara el terreno para nuestra futura granja de vegetales mutantes!"

Hyatt:
"Sí… oficial Excel-… aunque no estoy segura de que la agricultura sea lo nuestro…"

Excel:
"¡Silencio, Hyatt! ¡El futuro de Kisaragi depende de esto!"


(Excel prende un lanzallamas improvisado y empieza a quemar los árboles. Los troncos se sacuden, liberan vapor y en cuestión de segundos llueve agua que apaga las llamas.)

Excel: (mirando al cielo con cara de maníaca)
"Reporte de Excel ¡ESTO NO PUEDE SER! ¡Juro que no me estoy volviendo loca, lo reportaré tal cual! ¡LOS ÁRBOLES TIENEN SISTEMA ANTI-INCENDIOS INTEGRADO!"


[De repente, el bosque cobra vida. Unas chicas-planta desnudas, con pétalos por cabello y cuerpos verdes, aparecen.]

Excel: (se tapa los ojos con dramatismo)
"¡¡¡Hyatt!!! ¡¡Esto es un anime de comedia absurda, no un hentai!!"

Hyatt: (mirando débilmente a las criaturas)
"Creo… Oficial Excel i… que ellas… nos quieren advertir…"

(Las chicas-planta abren sus cabezas en dos como flores carnívoras y disparan rayos energéticos que revientan una roca cercana.)

Excel: (dando vueltas en círculos)
"¡¡NOS QUIEREN DESINTEGRAR!! ¡¡Y ENCIMA ESTÁN DESNUDAS!!"



[Más tarde, al anochecer.]

(El anciano Alexandrite Galvenier aparece caminando tranquilamente del bosque, tarareando una canción, con otro pedazo de colmena gigante bajo el brazo y usando un aguijón de abeja del tamaño de una espada como mondadientes.)

Anciano:
"Ah, mis queridas hijitas, qué lindas esperándome aquí afuera. Miren, les traje miel fresca."

Excel y Hyatt: (al unísono, con cara de trauma)
"………"


Excel:
(se desgarra el cabello mientras escribe otro reporte)
"¡CORPORACIÓN KISARAGI-ACROSS! ¡REPITO! ¡¿Qué mundo es este en el que los ancianos entran y salen del bosque como un paseo por el parque?! ¡¡¡REPORTO FRUSTRACIÓN MÁXIMA!!!"

Hyatt: (desmayándose lentamente)
"Oficial Excel… este planeta… nos va a matar antes que los enemigos…"

[ El campamento improvisado en medio del desierto, rodeado de ruinas humeantes de lo que hasta hace un minuto era su “base secreta”. Excel camina con la libreta de reportes en la mano, despeinada y con cara de furia. Hyatt, como siempre, está medio moribunda en el suelo.]

Excel: (gritando al cielo) ¡¡¡QUE MUNDO ES ESTE!!! Primero el bosque maldito que escupe chicas plantas desnudas lanzarrayos, y ahora indígenas que invocan satélites láser con bailes coreografiados. ¡¡¡Yo solo quería una base decente para la gloria de Kisaragi-ACROSS!!!

Hyatt: (débil, levantando una mano) Oficial Excel… al menos no nos hemos topado con … (escupe sangre dramáticamente).


Excel:
(escribiendo furiosa en su libreta) “Segundo intento de colonización: fracaso absoluto. Animales gigantes explotando, tribus danzantes con apoyo orbital, base destruida en menos de un minuto. Excel Excel declara oficialmente que NO se ha vuelto loca. ¡ESTO REALMENTE PASÓ!”

Hyatt: (susurrando) Tal vez… deberíamos considerar que este mundo tiene… reglas diferentes…

Excel: (se gira indignada) ¿Reglas? ¡Reglas mis sandalias!

[ En las Granjas en Grace]

(Excel y Hyatt están escondidas de  trás de un molino destartalado, observando. Un grupo de granjeros humanos alimenta a varios orcos encadenados. Los orcos hablan entre sí, resignados a su destino. Excel abre los ojos de par en par, en shock.)

Excel: ¡¡Hyatt!! ¡¡Míralo!! ¡¡Los orcos hablan!!

Hyatt: (con voz débil) Sí… y parecen  educados  os.

Orco #1: (suspira) “Hoy nos toca comer cebada hervida… mañana, nos toca ser carne asada. Qué vida tan miserable.”

Orco #2: “Bah… al menos es mejor que morir en la guerra


Excel:
(temblando, se agarra la cabeza) ¡¡N-No puede ser!! ¡¡Hyatt, todo este tiempo… la poca carne que conseguíamos…!!

Hyatt: (pone cara pálida) Entonces… ¿los estofados que comimos anoche…?

Excel: ¡¡Eran orcos, Hyatt!! ¡¡Eran orcos!! ¡¡Estoy comiendo seres con conciencia y sentimientos!!

Hyatt: (se lleva la mano al pecho, cae lentamente como siempre) Qué tragedia… (desmaya con un hilillo de sangre en la boca).


Excel:
¡¡Hyatt, no te mueras justo ahora!!


[Escena – Noche, en las afueras del pueblo]

(Excel y Hyatt van con herramientas baratas, colocando explosivos en un pozo de agua mientras susurran conspirativamente.)

Excel: ¡¡Bien!! ¡conseguimos puntos malos

destruyendo infraestructura básica!!

Hyatt: (casi desmayada) Es… brillante, Excel… qué gran… estrategia… (se tambalea).

(Boom, explota el pozo. Sale un chorro de agua mientras los aldeanos gritan de fondo.)

Excel: ¡¡Puntos malos asegurados, Hyatt!!


[Escena – Departamento destartalado en Grace]

(Excel cuenta monedas sobre la mesa, mientras Hyatt trata de vender una rifa falsa a una anciana que claramente está ciega.)

Excel: (hablando sola mientras cuenta) Estafar viejitas con rifas falsas… ¡¡una táctica tan cruel que garantiza puntos malos!! ¡¡Ja ja ja!!

Anciana: (a Hyatt) ¿Pero el premio de la rifa… ?

Hyatt: Sí, señora… con descuento especial. (sonríe débilmente antes de escupir un poco de sangre).

Anciana: Ah, entonces cómprame dos boletos.


[Habitacion de Excel y Hyatt, varias noches después]

(Las dos están tiradas en el suelo, exhaustas. Hay colillas, botellas vacías y papeles de estafas por todas partes. La atmósfera es miserable.)

Excel: Hyatt… preguntamos por otro tipo de comida… ¿y sabes qué descubrimos?

Hyatt: (medio inconsciente) …Que el canibalismo es legal.

Excel: (se agarra la cabeza con fuerza) ¡¡ESTE MUNDO ESTÁ MAL, HYATT!! ¡¡MAL!!

Hyatt: (sonríe débilmente mientras escupe sangre) Al menos… no soy muy apetitosa…Me tiraron a la basura cuando creyeron que estaba muerta


Excel:
(gritando hacia el techo) ¡¡LORD IL PALAZZO, SÁQUENOS DE AQUÍ!!

Excel: Solo… unos días más… y podremos volver a Japón.

Hyatt: (débil) Y… morir en paz allá…

Excel: (aprieta los puños con furia) ¡¡Prometo que jamás volveré a comer guiso misterioso en otro mundo!!

[Interior, nuevo departamento destartalado. Excel y Hyatt rodeadas de chatarra brillante y cables colgando. Se ve un enorme dispositivo improvisado tapado con una sábana.]

Excel: (jadeando, con las manos en la cintura) ¡¡¡Por fin!!! Después de semanas robando ... No jodas ¿Como que en este mundo se comen Orcos como si fueran animales de granja? . 

Hyatt. Despues de semanas haciendo explotar pozos de agua y estafando a ancianas con rifas falsas… hemos acumulado suficientes puntos malos para estabilizar nuestra gloriosa máquina teletransportadora creo que ya quemamos toda la reputación en este país…. 


Excel:
(saca su libreta y comienza a escribir frenéticamente) “Informe número final: Ese planeta es lo peor. Población: hostil. Clima: hostil. Animales: hostiles. Dioses: aún más hostiles. Exclavitud y Canibalismo . Recomiendo… NUNCA enviar más agentes. Ni siquiera a una de las ejecutivas.”

Hyatt: (desplomándose en una silla) … aquí… no hay dragones… ¿cierto?


Excel:
(frunce el ceño y señala el mapa colgado en la pared) ¡Exacto, Hyatt! ¡Y aun así, el Reino del Demonio declaró la guerra a Grace! ¿Por qué? ¡Porque era el más fácil de conquistar! Pero ¿quién está en el tope de Grace? Nada más y nada menos que un tipo que llaman “El Elegido”.El principe de Grace .

(tiembla un poco) Y después de todo lo que hemos visto… prefiero no averiguar qué hace.


Hyatt:
(con media sonrisa, a punto de colapsar) …Probablemente… convierte plantas como las del bosques en ensaladas…

Excel: (cerrando la libreta con fuerza) ¡¡No lo sabremos jamás, Hyatt!! Porque este será mi último informe en este maldito mundo. Apenas la máquina se estabilice… ¡¡¡volveremos a la Tierra y Kisaragi-ACROSS recibirá mi sacrificio heroico!!! 

Hyatt: (desangrándose dulcemente) …Excel… suena bien… pero antes… ¿no deberíamos investigar un poco más… por si acaso?

Excel: (gritando al techo) ¡¡¿INVESTIGAR MÁS?!! (suspira y se derrumba de rodillas) …Está bien, Hyatt… investigaremos un poco más… pero si aparece otra iguana robot, otro topo gigante o un gólem , yo misma me lanzo a la máquina aunque explote…

 

The Uncle from Another World in Konosuba. Fanfic


You asked for it. The first fanfic to be adapted will be Isekai Ojisan in Konosuba.

And you asked for it to be narrated by an omniscient narrator. I apologize if the automatic dubbing translates the fanfic poorly, in which case you'll have the script in the description. I couldn't get a male voice. I hope the filter isn't too bad. So, here we go.


In January 2000, we meet Yosuke Shibazaki, an Otaku Sonic fanatic who went to the video game store to buy the new console, when suddenly a truck appeared and ran him over.


In front of the guy would be a woman... Well, you already know it's Aqua, otherwise this fanfic would have no purpose. Here I proposed to consider alternatives such as Aqua leaving a pre-recorded message in an unusable language, so the guy wouldn't understand and would have her power of being multilingual. Or also consider what if he heard Aqua and asked for something else. But I think Uncle's charm lies in his impulsiveness, and his special power as an isekai protagonist is precisely that he speaks all languages. It wouldn't be fair to give him a broken power only to have him die like an idiot. So I hope I got it right.

The spirits in Konosuba and Isekai Ojisan don't work the same way, but they're somewhat similar, so Uncle will certainly use their help in some areas, but in general, he'll rely on his own abilities according to Konosuba's internal logic.

Yōsuke (thought):

—Okay... this looks just like the Final Fantasy IX loading screen, but with lower resolution.


In front of him appears a young woman with blue hair and a radiant white dress.


Aqua:

—Yōsuke Shibazaki, welcome to the afterlife.


Yōsuke (loudly):

—Oh! It's like a welcoming NPC!

(Looks her up and down)

Although... with improved textures.


Aqua:

"Excuse me?"


Yōsuke:

"Nothing, nothing... continue with your conversation."


Aqua clears her throat, with that divine authority that doesn't seem to impress the guy.


Aqua:

"You died in an accident. You can go to heaven, where you'll have eternal peace... or be reincarnated as a baby and start a new life."


Yōsuke:

"Uh-huh... and are there video games in heaven?"


Aqua:

"No... I think I should tell that to the next people who come here.


Yōsuke:

"What if I'm reincarnated? I guess starting from scratch isn't as fun?"


Aqua:

"No."


Yōsuke:

"Then I'll pass."


Aqua sighs, as if she's talking to a very difficult customer in customer service.


Aqua:

—Well… I have another offer. A fantasy world full of magic and monsters, with video game logic. The looting and later the Demon King's army spread terror and death. No one in that world wants to be reborn, so their population is completely declining, and it's bad. If that's why we decided to send people who have died in other worlds with all their memories. We offer something new. You have the right to take with you anything you want very much. It could be a powerful weapon or a great talent. If you defeat the Demon King, we will grant you one wish.


Yōsuke:

—Oh… any ability?


Aqua:

—Yes, anything. Divine powers, legendary artifacts, forbidden magic…


Yōsuke (without letting her finish):

—I want the ability to understand anyone who speaks!


Aqua:

—… What?


Yōsuke:

—Look, I've played RPGs in English without knowing English. But in a new world, I won't be farming grammar experience. I'll pass. I want self-translation.


Aqua:

—But…


Yōsuke:

—Without that, I'll have to learn medieval languages, elven dialects… no, thanks.


Aqua, visibly disappointed, snaps her fingers.


Aqua:

—Very well. I grant you the power of “Wild Speech”: you will be able to communicate with any living being, spirit, or monster.


Yōsuke:

—Perfect. Now then, activate the cinematic and let's go.


Aqua:

—Brave hero, I will pray that you are the one who defeats the Demon King.


Yōsuke:

—Yes, thanks. Otherwise, you'd get more reincarnations if you made a presentation more like a game, something like "there's a world that could lose its peace at the hands of the demon king's army, the lives of its brave inhabitants have been affected, or something like that."


And with a flash of light... the guy disappears.


Aqua: Overacting a little? I guess it could work.


Yōsuke lands face first on the ground.

Yōsuke:

—Ouch! …Okay, don't hurt me.

He gets up and looks around: a lush forest, birds singing, a pleasant breeze...

Yōsuke (thinking):

—First stage of any game.

Forest for tutorial and initial farming. Surely the monsters here are level 1.


He starts walking and, after a couple of hours, he spots a walled city in the distance.

Yōsuke:

—Perfect, it's a typical "starter town." They probably have an inn, a weapons store, and...


Before he can finish his sentence, three men armed with knives confront him.

Bandit 1:

—Hold on, stranger! Give us everything you have!


Yōsuke blinks in surprise.

Yōsuke (thinking):

—Wow... a strange language, but I understand it perfectly. It speaks Wild activated!


He tries to remember the logic of video games.

Yōsuke:

—I'm sure these are tutorial bandits. If I give up, They steal a few coins from me and let me continue…


He raises his hands and searches his pocket.

Yōsuke:

—Here, take everything I have.

(He takes out some yen bills)


The bandits look at each other.

Bandit 2:

—What is this? A talisman? Magic from another realm?


Yōsuke:

—No, it's Japanese money. With this you can buy—


Bandit 3:

—It must be a magic seal! Steal it and don't leave him alive!


Yōsuke:

—…Wait, that doesn't happen in RPGs!


Without further ado, they beat him to the ground and flee.


[Later, at the city entrance]

Yōsuke, bleeding from his eyebrow, drags his feet to the gate.


Yōsuke (thinking):


—Okay… first important fact: the currency here isn't the yen. Tutorial not completed.


Using his gamer instinct, he searched for the most obvious place to begin the adventure: the Adventurer's Guild, a place he'd seen numerous times in his favorite games. Upon arriving, he saw the guild was filled with people of all races and classes, from muscular warriors to mages in shining robes.


He entered the building determined to register as an adventurer, hoping to follow the same path he had in the games. He approached the reception desk, where the receptionist greeted him with a friendly smile.


—Welcome to the Adventurer's Guild!—said the waiter.


He staggered in, but no one seemed surprised to see him injured.


Yōsuke, with his best otaku attitude, responded enthusiastically:


—Hello. I'm here to register as an adventurer. I've heard you can take all kinds of quests here.


The receptionist nodded with a smile.


"Exactly! Being an adventurer allows you to accept quests in various categories, from monster elimination to artifact hunting. But before you begin, you must register and pay the entry fee."


Yōsuke raised an eyebrow, intrigued.


Yōsuke:

"Yeah... and also see if they have any free healing items for newbies."


Receptionist:


"I don't know what you mean by healing items, but the entry fee is 1,000 Eris, and the churches are around there."

Yōsuke (thinking):

"Perfect... tutorial, and it's already asking me to farm."

Looking around, thinking like a veteran player:

Yōsuke:

"Okay... how do I get money and heal myself before quest 1?" Option A: Temporary work… Option B: Farming Level 1 monsters with nothing… Option C: Crying in a corner until an NPC shows up to help me…

Following the guild receptionist's advice, Yōsuke walks to a small church with a huge emblem at the entrance.


Yōsuke (thinking):

"Eris Church… this sounds like a safe place. They'll probably have the typical "collect 10 medicinal herbs" quest here and, while they're at it, they'll heal me for free."


Inside, a thin, bespectacled priest looks him up and down.


Yōsuke:

"Hi, I just got mugged. I need healing, and… if you have any easy jobs to earn a few coins, even better."


Priest:

"Free healing? No, the service here has a fee."


Yōsuke:

"But I'm… new. Level 1. I'm still in the tutorial."


Priest:

—I don't care about that. If you want to be cured, pay up or leave.


Yōsuke:

—And work? I could... I don't know... gather herbs for your apothecary, clean the pews, kill rats in the basement...


Priest:

—No. The temple doesn't hire injured vagrants.


Yōsuke (thinking):

—Wow... this is not a friendly NPC. Oh Lady Eris, I ask for your help in this new world that is new to me.


He turns and leaves, cursing under his breath.


[A few days later]

Between asking for jobs and arguing with guards


as if it were a system of exchange, Yōsuke ends up arrested for "suspicious behavior" and "disturbing the peace."


In a cold, damp cell, he sighs.


Yōsuke:

—Very well... mental note: this world does not follow the rules of Skyrim. Promise: I won't die here. I'll return to Japan... even if I have to defeat that Demon King so that girl who looks like Header from Dynamite's header


can grant me my wish.


"This isn't exactly how I imagined it," Yōsuke muttered to himself, as he looked up at the stars. "At this rate, I wish I could return to Japan. Everything seemed so much simpler there."


Nights of Mystery


The nights when Yōsuke slept were especially difficult. Sometimes, he would wake up in the middle of the night hearing whispers and voices he couldn't identify. At first, he thought he was losing his mind. Exhaustion and despair were beginning to take their toll.


"Hello?" he asked one night in the darkness, looking around. "Is anyone there?"


He got no reply, and soon he went back to sleep, convinced it was just the effects of hunger and cold.


However, the whispers continued. One night, while trying to sleep in the corner of a stable, the murmurs became clearer. He sat up and listened intently. It was then that he realized he wasn't alone. A soft, ethereal voice echoed in his mind.


"Can you hear us?"


Yōsuke jolted upright, staring. He looked around in surprise.


"Who's there? What's going on?"


The voices began to take shape, and it became clear he wasn't imagining things. Spirits were visible in the air, floating like soft, translucent lights.


"You're not crazy," said a female voice, as a spectral figure appeared in front of him. "We are the spirits that inhabit this world. It seems you have the ability to hear us."


Yōsuke blinked, astonished.


"Spirits? So these whispers weren't my imagination?"


The spirit nodded.


"That's right. I don't know how you can understand us."


Yōsuke rubbed his head, trying to process this new information.


"This is... quite surprising. What does it mean for me?"


The smiling spirit, who seemed a little more defined now, spoke to him kindly.


"Well, that's helpful." Now that I know I'm not crazy, can you help me find a way to improve my situation? I really need a way to earn some money and find a place to stay.


The spirit nodded.


Spirit:

"You're not as alone as you think. I heard your pleas. I've seen you resist... and I like you."


Yōsuke:

"Is this spirit like in RPGs where you unlock a ghost companion? Are you going to give me a legendary weapon?"


Spirit:

"No, but I can get you out of here. And then, I can guide you to the forest to hunt monsters. You'll earn food... and some money."


Yōsuke:

"Perfect! It's the typical "companion who saves you from the failed tutorial" quest. Let's go."


The spirit laughs.

Spirit:

"But first... you'll have to promise me something."


Spirit:

"...you'll have to promise me that you won't waste my help on some stupid thing."


Yōsuke:

—Define “stupidity” for me.


Spirit:

—Something like… I don’t know… trying to sell your magic weapon to pay for a luxury inn.


Yōsuke:

—…Okay, that would be really stupid. I promise.


With a murmur in a language that sounded to Yōsuke like a mix of Gregorian chant and cheap anime dubbing, the spirit made the cell glow with a silvery light.


Spirit:

—We spirits can borrow a fragment of the deities’ power and shape it. Here… a sword forged from moonlight.


Yōsuke (taking it):

—…Does this have DLC or is it all included?


Spirit:

—It’s all included. Now, follow me.


[Escape and Arrival at the Forest]

Thanks to the spirit passing through walls and unlocking locks as if they were simple menu windows, Yōsuke escaped. He ran past the "tutorial city" and into a moonlit forest.


There, he saw some small, furry creatures that, from a distance, looked like rabbits or squirrels.


Yōsuke (thinking):

"Oh, look at those cute little creatures... they're sure to leave leather or low-quality meat. Perfect for a starter."


But as they got closer, the animals showed sharp teeth and eyes full of hunger. Within seconds, they jumped on him, biting him on the head, arms, and legs.


Yōsuke:

"Ow!"


He staggered, his vision blurring, and felt the old feeling of wanting to run away return to him.


Yōsuke (biting his lip):

"Am I doomed to always run away from problems?... I refuse!"


With a roar, his moonblade flashing, he slashed down until the last rodent fell. Breathing heavily, he lit a fire.


Yōsuke:

"Okay... this is going to sound horrible... but I'm going to eat those bastards."


He spent the night roasting the meat, which had a strange, nutty, metallic taste. At dawn, he gathered the bones, made improvised small graves, and spoke a few clumsy words.


Yōsuke:

"I don't know if this is how your funeral culture does it... but thanks for dinner."


[On the Way to Another City]

Days later, he arrived at the next city. He discovered that surviving here was much harder than in any video game: no money, no knowledge of bargaining, and no way to afford an inn.


He ended up on a corner of the market, with a threadbare blanket over his shoulders and a cloth sack as his only possessions.


Yōsuke (thinking):

—This... isn't the life of a hero. It's the life of a generic background NPC.


Around him, villagers passed by, paying no attention to him. The smell of freshly baked bread made his stomach growl, and every now and then he saw adventurers in shining armor and bags full of coins.


Yōsuke:


—It's decided. I'm not going to remain an extra in this world... but first I need a plan. OH, Lady who is named after the currency of this world, Eris? Can you give me a hand?... Maybe if I saw other spirits, they could help me like last time.


While wandering along a path covered in dried leaves, Yōsuke heard a whisper. It wasn't wind, but voices that seemed to bubble around him.

From the mist, small floating lights began to appear: more spirits.


Spirit 1:

—So you're the human who can hear us…


Yōsuke:

—Me? Well… I guess… isn't that normal?


Spirit 2:

—No. No human can hear us… except you.


Yōsuke (scratching his neck):

—Wow… that's a rare achievement.


Spirit 3:

—We're aware of your situation, stranger. We can help you… if you help us. First.


Yōsuke:

"And what do you want? I'm not going to sign a contract that steals my soul or turns me into furniture."


Spirit 1:

"Nothing like that. There's a lost artifact in a nearby forest... a divine treasure. It was a gift to another reincarnated person like you... but he died. We want you to get it back."


Yōsuke:

"Ouch... that sounds encouraging. Did he die in an epic way?"


Spirit 2:

"He slipped and fell off a cliff."


Yōsuke:

"...Yeah, very epic."


[The Treasure Expedition]

Uncle camped at the entrance to the forest. He spent the night making absurd plans, as if it were a video game dungeon: mental maps, possible enemy spawns, and escape routes.


At dawn, he entered the forest with exaggerated stealth, crouching behind every bush. It took him an hour to go through what a villager would do in ten minutes. Finally, he found a wooden chest decorated with runes.


Yōsuke:

"Bingo! And no quick time event... I like that."


Inside, he found a gem-encrusted metal glove. He didn't know its purpose, but he put it away.


The spirits reappeared, floating around him.


Spirit 1:

"Well done. Now head to the nearest town. In Eris's church, you'll find a female Thief-class adventurer. Her name is Chris. She'll know what to do."


Yōsuke:

"Perfect... how do I get there?"


Spirit 2:

"Follow the path north, and—"


But before they finished, Yōsuke was already distracted, wondering if the glove had a "transformation" mode.


[Divine Coincidences]

On the way to nowhere in particular (because he forgot the directions), he ran into a young, gray-haired woman wearing a black bra and a light cape. Chris:


"Hey, you... are you the one who found a shiny glove in the woods?"


Yōsuke:

"Me? ...Uh... yeah. How do you know?"


Chris (smiling):

"I have my ways. Let's just say... you save me a trip."


He handed her a bag of coins.


Chris:

"Here, 1,000 Eris. Consider this payment for your services... and a free tip: if you don't want to sleep on the streets, rent a stable. It's cheaper than an inn and less dangerous than a ditch."


Yōsuke:

"Wow... this is the first transaction where I didn't lose. I think."


Chris waved goodbye with a friendly gesture, while he stared at the bag, thinking he could finally pay his adventurer registration fee.


Yōsuke began to do what every newbie does: listen to other people's conversations in the guild.


Adventurer 1 (at the next table):

"They say the Demon King is moving troops to the southern border, in Belzerg."


Adventurer 2:

"Yes, but nothing's happening here in this city. There are no adventurer quests."


Yōsuke (thinking):

"Perfect... quiet city, zero income. If I want to make a career and eventually kill the Demon King, I need to go where there's trouble. Or at least where it pays well."


He decided to head for Belzerg, its capital, the city with the most active quests. Along the way, as he crossed a hill, he saw something that made him stop: a huge dragon with black scales fighting a lightly armored adventurer with a broadsword.


The sun was just beginning to set between the treetops when Yōsuke heard a roar that chilled his blood. He hid behind a trunk and, through the leaves, saw a huge dragon fighting a red-haired mage.


Yōsuke (quietly):

"Ooooh... real-time boss fight... like I'm watching the opening cinematic of an RPG."


He watched as the mage repeatedly cast concentrated spells on the dragon's neck.


Yōsuke (thinking):

"Aha... weak spot detected. 2001 manual: "If the enemy always takes critical damage in the same place, that's the trick."


The dragon roared, knocking the mage to the ground and raising a claw to finish her off. Yōsuke, on an irrational impulse, leaped out of hiding, brandished his moonlight sword, and plunged it into the dragon's neck.


The monster let out a strangled roar, fell to its side, and stopped moving.


Yōsuke (posing with the sword):

"You don't have to thank me... although a medal would be nice."


The mage sat up, at first impressed...


Mage:

"Incredible! What level are you?"


Yōsuke:

"Level 1."


The mage's smile froze.


Mage:

"...Level ONE? Are you kidding?!"


Yōsuke:

"Huh? The important thing is that I killed him, right?"


Mage (furious):

"You killed him by surprise! Do you know how humiliating it is for a dragon to die like that? That poor creature would rather fall in glorious combat against a team of heroes!"


Yōsuke:

"Poor creature? It almost killed you!"


Suddenly, a chill ran through the air. The dragon's body began to shudder and emit a sickly green glow. Its scales blackened, its eyes turned red, and the stench of rotten flesh filled the room.


Magician (horrified):

"Oh, no! You've offended its pride. It's going to... revive!"


The dragon, now zombified, sat up with a horrifying roar.


Magician:

"In this state, it's immune to almost everything... and it even harms anyone who touches it. We can't beat it!"


The magician extended her hand, and a magic circle appeared beneath Yōsuke's feet.


Yōsuke:

" Hey, wait! What about the dragon?


Magician:

"There are much stronger adventurers near the capital. It won't be a threat... but the two of us would be dead by now."


A flash of light enveloped them, and in a blink of an eye, they were in a lantern-lit plaza: Roland City.


The magician breathed a sigh of relief.


Magician:

"Now we're even. You saved me, I saved you. End of story."


Without waiting for a reply, she turned and disappeared into the crowd.


Yōsuke (looking at the empty street):

"...How abrupt."


Magician:


"And now? I won't get my dragon pay."


During their journey, they took the opportunity to practice their new skills and learn more about the world they found themselves in. Whenever they met travelers or adventurers along the way, Yōsuke took the opportunity to exchange knowledge and techniques. If a spirit were present, he would ask them to teach him tricks. During this time, he adapted to the customs and architecture of each city.


However, as he became financially stable, he became aware of several customs that puzzled him. Although it was a bustling, active city, certain aspects of daily life seemed very primitive compared to his experience in Japan.


At a small local restaurant, he observed how the villagers ate with their hands and used latrines instead of modern bathrooms. This made him uncomfortable, as he was used to greater comfort. His otaku instinct and desire to improve things led him to a decision: to introduce some of the innovations he knew from his original world.


Yōsuke started with something simple but impactful: forks and knives. He went to the local market, bought some iron, hired a blacksmith to design them, and returned to the restaurant. With a confident smile, he approached the restaurant owner, a robust man with a prominent beard.


"Hello!" Yōsuke greeted. "I've noticed that people eat with their hands a lot in this place, and that's not very hygienic. I've brought some utensils that might make eating more comfortable. May I show them to you?"


The owner looked at him curiously.


"Utensils? We've never used anything like that here. What are they?"


Yōsuke took a fork and knife out of his bag, showing them off enthusiastically.


"These are forks and knives. They're used to eat in a cleaner and more efficient way. Let me show you how to use them."


The owner and some customers approached, looking interested.


"It looks like a miniature rake and sword."


Yōsuke took a piece of bread and cut it with the knife, then scooped it up with the fork.


"Look! With these utensils, you can eat without getting your hands dirty." Furthermore, they are very useful for foods that require more precision.


The people in the restaurant watched in amazement as some began to try out the utensils. Although they were a little clumsy at first, they soon realized the convenience they offered. The owner was impressed.


"This is amazing. We've never thought of something like this. Thank you for showing it. We will definitely consider it."


The next step in his modernization plan was to address the drainage system and bathrooms. Realizing the lack of modern facilities, Yōsuke decided to install a basic drainage system and American-style toilets at the inn where he was staying.


He met with some local artisans and explained his idea. Although they were a little skeptical at first, Yōsuke managed to convince them with his enthusiasm and technical knowledge. Together, they began working on installing a drainage system and modern toilets.


A couple of days later, the work was complete and the bathrooms were ready for use. Yōsuke invited some villagers to try out the new facilities, including the drainage system that ensured better hygiene and the comfort of American-style toilets.


He met with the villagers at the inn and showed them the new toilet.


"Welcome to the future of convenience! This is a modern toilet with a drainage system that will make your daily life much more comfortable. You can use this toilet for greater hygiene and comfort."


The villagers looked at the toilet with awe and curiosity. Some were a little uncomfortable at first, but as they used the new system, they began to recognize the benefits.


"This is amazing!" exclaimed one of the villagers. "It's much cleaner and more comfortable than traditional latrines."


Another villager nodded, impressed.


"Yes, I never imagined something like this existed. Thank you for showing us this."


Yōsuke Shibazaki had been in Roland City long enough to earn the trust and respect of the villagers and adventurers. He leveled up, gained experience, and gained fortune. One day, he saw a quest in the guild that would prove to be his redemption from an old fault: hunting a dragon.


To summarize, he combined creativity with strategy and defeated the dragon by attacking it every day until it was gone. He resisted no longer. By obtaining a huge fortune that would allow him to export his so-called inventions elsewhere.


Some time later, the adventurers demanded that the guy move; his overqualifications prevented him from taking on new quests.


[On the street, outside the guild]


Angry adventurer: "Go anywhere! You'll leave us all without jobs here."


Uncle: "Belzerg? Isn't that the country that borders the Demon King?"


Receptionist (from inside): "Yes, it's to the east. Go and conquer glory there!"

Uncle: "...Oh, right... I was supposed to come to this world to defeat the Demon King. I got a little distracted."

Adventurer 3: "A little? You've been here for two years!"


[On the way to Belzerg]


Uncle (talking to himself): "Defeat the Demon King... Pfft, I'm sure with a slow and calculated plan I can weaken him until he surrenders... Just like the dragon. No, I need help, I need a team."


Uncle arrives at the next village, with smoking houses and villagers running around. Screams and blows can be heard in the distance.


Villager 1: "Damn goblins! They've already taken two families!"


Uncle approaches curiously, listening half-listening as a villager tells him that a group of adventurers has been sent to eliminate them.


Villager: (thinking) Our village has been attacked by goblins every day, but today, our best group has been sent to finish them off… …


[Scene – Base of the mountain]

Uncle finds the team: a young swordsman with a sword bigger than him, a nervous-looking priestess, and a sturdy but visibly inexperienced warrior.


Alice (Priestess): Hey! We need help!


Rai and Ed would take Alice for a quick meeting.


Rai (Warrior): Work with him? I don't know. We don't know him.


Ed (Swordsman): But we have few options. I don't think the three of us would be able to.


Alice: Hey, they asked us to protect Dordo Village from a horde of Goblins. Would you like to help us? The reward would be serious.

Uncle: (smiles) I accept… —he accepts before she finishes the sentence—.


Alice: What?


Ed and Rai, what?


Alice: So? You're going to help us.


Uncle: It wasn't something very urgent.


*(Thinking) "It's better this way. I'll watch them in action and see if they're any good."


They climbed the mountain; hundreds of goblins were coming their way.


The group moved forward. Uncle, who would say, "Calm down, I've been in situations like this," decided to "get the goblins' attention."


Uncle: "Hey, this way! I'm here!"


When he got closer, he tried to imitate a technique from a game where you jumped high and stabbed the goblin in the head, but it didn't work.


The goblins saw him... and just moved away. There were no comical falls, just an awkward silence.


Rai (Warrior): What the hell was that?

Uncle: An advanced tactic… but for some strange reason, they didn't fall off the cliff when I called them.


Alice: Get away from me.


Rag: Damn those goblins.


Brad: Alice, run.


Goblins appear from the bushes. The fledglings panic, Ed trips over his sword, Alice, with only healing spells, couldn't do anything, and Rai tries to swing but his axe gets stuck in a tree trunk. In a matter of seconds, they capture them all, tying them up with a homemade rope.


Inside, an imposing figure emerges from the darkness: a black, muscular feline with sharp fangs and a predatory air.


Uncle: (whispering) …A tiger? No… I can't understand…


Fledgling Tiger Hunter: So they brought more fresh meat.

Uncle: Why do you hunt humans? I thought the target was goblins… is it because of the destruction of your habitat or something?

Tiger Noob Hunter: [smiles, showing his fangs] No... it's because humans are delicious.

Uncle: ...Delicious?

Tiger Noob Hunter: Yes. They cook so well... that their own flesh absorbs that flavor. A human who's eaten well is a feast.

Alice: (trembling) Can you understand what the tiger is saying?


Uncle, while the rest tremble, watches him with interest rather than fear.


Uncle: (thinking) Wow... this world sure has bosses with strange motivations.


[Inside the cave, tiger roars echoing, ropes tense, the group trapped]


Alice: (trembling) There's no way out! If we move, that Noob Hunter will tear us apart!


Ed: (sweating) Damn... what do we do now?


Rai: (looking at Uncle) Do you... have a plan?


Uncle: (serious, but calm) …Life has its course and order, guys… but if I don't do something now, we'll all die.


Alice: Does that mean…?


Uncle: (with a tired smile) Carry me when I'm done.


Ed: Huh? What do you mean by that?


Uncle: Time to apply that technique the spirits taught me a long time ago…


(Uncle lowers his head, concentrating his energy. His hands begin to burn gently.)


Uncle: Tinder!


(Small sparks appear, but then they grow into a controlled fire that burns the ropes, also scorching the tiger, which roars in pain.)


Rai: It's free! It's free!


Uncle: (with his hands free, he takes a deep breath) And now… the main course…


(He raises his arms; the cave trembles; a crimson magical aura envelops his chest. body.)


Uncle: Explosion!


(A deafening boom destroys half the mountain. The tiger, the rookie hunter, and the goblins are reduced to dust. A heavy silence fills the place.)


[Outside, at the foot of the destroyed mountain]


(The adventurers manage to crawl out, carrying the unconscious but alive uncle.)


Alice: Just a little bit! Are you okay?


Ed: I heard that using that technique drains your energy...


Rai: (looking at Uncle in amazement) That power... I've never seen anything like it.


(Uncle slowly opens his eyes.)


After that, they went to the village to receive the reward.


Ed: You're very funny.


Rai: Are you sure you want to split the reward?


Uncle: Yes, I really don't want to carry too much money with me.


Alice: Oh, sorry, I don't think we introduced ourselves properly... I'm Alice.


Ed: Ed.


Rai: Rai.


Uncle: (smiles weakly) I'm... Telma Kikiriki.


Alice: (blinks) ...Really?


Uncle: (closing his eyes) Seriously... Now, I just need to rest until I regain my energy. So you're heroes?


Alice: What? No, we only became adventurers three months ago.


[Town entrance]


(The four of them descend victorious. The villagers greet them with cheers, but soon all attention falls on Alice.)


Villager 1: That explosion was your doing, wasn't it, young Alice!


Villager 2: A heroine!


Alice: (trying to correct herself) No, actually it was—


Uncle: (leaning on Ed, muttering) Leave them alone... I'm too tired, and maybe this village needs some local heroes.


Villager 1: Would you like to say a few words?


Alice: What? May the light guide you on the right path.


[Uncle understood that those young people wouldn't be of any help against the Demon King, but if he gave them credit, they might strive to live up to the village's expectations.]


Once he recovered from using Explosion, he rejoined them.


Uncle: Well... As you know, I'm on a journey to defeat the Demon King and I'm looking to recruit powerful adventurers. Do you know any powerful adventurers around here?


Alice: Southeast of Belzerg, there's a newly founded village... it's full of very powerful sorcerers.


Rai: They call themselves the "Crimson Mages." They're made up of aspiring wizards hoping to become powerful with the help of a powerful wizard they call "The Doctor."


Uncle: (looking out the window, smiling faintly) ...Crimson Mages, huh? Sounds interesting.


Yōsuke Shibazaki had heard rumors about another reincarnated person in the region. This reincarnated creature, known as "The Doctor," had caught his attention due to his reputation and abilities. Determined to find this individual, Yōsuke left the city and headed toward Crimson Mages Village, a place known for its strange customs and peculiar magic.


When Yōsuke arrived at Crimson Mages Village, he was greeted by a group of eccentric mages, who seemed immersed in their own delusions of grandeur. The mages, dressed in dark red robes, performed strange spells and fervently discussed their latest experiments.


"Welcome, stranger!" exclaimed one of the mages, who seemed covered in dust and wore an expression of boundless enthusiasm. "What brings you to our village?"


Yōsuke looked around as he answered.


"I've heard of a reincarnated creature called "The Doctor." I'm here to find him."


The wizard looked at him curiously and then nodded.


"Ah, yes, the Doctor. He's a legendary figure among us. Do you want to know more about him?"


Uncle: (looking around with a raised eyebrow) Wow... everyone's wearing red cloaks, intense gazes... and they talk as if they're acting in a cheap play.


Wizard 1: (posing with hand outstretched) Stranger! Watch your step! You're in the realm where magic burns hotter than the sun itself.


Uncle: ...Yeah, right... what about "The Doctor"?


Wizard 2: (whispering dramatically) The Doctor... is a legendary sage who can fine-tune your abilities beyond mortal limits. He boosted my mana and gave me these mystical marks...


Uncle: (looking closely) ...That's a barcode, mate.


Wizard 2: No! It's a seal of ancient power...


Wizard 3: It gave me a charisma boost... although it only works when I wear sunglasses.


Uncle: (to himself) Yeah... they're all crazy. And the best part is, with luck, this nonsense isn't inherited...


[A while later, walking through the village]


Uncle: (muttering) Well, at least I haven't seen anything dangerous...


Wizard 5: (to another wizard, plotting) So the plan is clear! We kidnap them, seal them in sacred tombs... and they'll be a tourist attraction!


Wizard 6: Yeah... What other town has two sealed deities?


Uncle: (approaching) ...What kind of sick people are you?


Wizard 5: It's for the good of the local economy! Think of tourism!


Uncle: (crossing his arms) I... honestly don't know if I should stop them or sell them T-shirts with the pictures...


The walk became even more disturbing when Yōsuke came across a large hand-carved figure in the central plaza. The figure was of an anime girl with kitten ears, in a a provocative pose that, according to the sign near the figure, was an object of worship. The scene was a strange mix of fanaticism and cult.


"What the hell is this?" Yōsuke muttered, horrified.


Finally, Yōsuke approached the place where the villagers said "The Doctor" lived. They led him to a cave that, surprisingly, seemed quite ordinary from the outside. However, upon entering, Yōsuke was astonished to discover what appeared to be an electronics laboratory exactly like the ones he had seen on Earth.


The lab was equipped with computers, cables, and electronic devices, all meticulously organized. It was a modern and functional space, which contrasted sharply with the chaotic, magical appearance of the village. In the center was a desk with an array of electronic components and notes written in a mixture of hieroglyphics and technical notation.


Yōsuke approached the desk and examined the components. There was no doubt this place was a high-tech laboratory, similar to those he knew from his previous life. It was as if the Doctor had brought a piece of the modern world into this strange realm.


"This doesn't make sense..." Yōsuke said quietly, his eyes scanning the equipment and notes.


Suddenly, he heard a sound behind him. He turned and saw a figure looming in the cave entrance. It was an elderly, bald man with a long white beard and a calculating expression on his face.


"Who are you, and what are you doing in my lab?" the man asked in a firm voice.


Yōsuke was silent for a moment, processing the situation. He knew he had found the enigmatic "Doctor," but there were still many unanswered questions.


"I am Wild Wolf. I came here looking for the reincarnated man known as "The Doctor." It seems I've found more than I bargained for."


The Doctor regarded him with a mixture of surprise and curiosity.


"So, you're the one they've been mentioning around town? Interesting. Wild Wolf? I'd invite you to stay, but first, we should talk about what you've found here."


Yōsuke watched the Doctor approach the table with an intrigued look. The conversation became more personal when the Doctor began to speak.


"So, you're from Japan too?" the Doctor asked, his voice revealing a mixture of tiredness and curiosity. "I must say, I didn't expect to find another Japanese person in this world."

What if Randy Marsh was summoned in The Rising of the Shield Hero? Fanfic


Randy is sitting on the couch, holding a beer, watching a football game on TV. He's completely relaxed. Sharon comes in from the kitchen, looking concerned.

Sharon:
Randy, have you seen Stan?

Randy: (without taking his eyes off the TV)
Stan? I think he's... out there, right? Hey, check this out, Sharon, that's a perfect pass!

Sharon: (puts her hands on her hips)
Randy, he's been out all day. He's not in his room, or on his console.

Randy: (turns to her with a satisfied smirk)
And isn't it great? He's finally socializing. Maybe he's in the park, getting some fresh air, making friends. He's not a zombie playing the damn Yggdrasil or whatever that game is called anymore!

Sharon:
Do you really think Stan is "socializing"? Stan Marsh, after two of his friends died in that terrible accident?

Randy: (shrugs)
Well, maybe he's changed. Maybe he realized there's more to life than being glued to a screen.

Sharon: (glaring at him)
Randy...

Randy: (takes a sip of his beer, casually)
Sharon, you're overreacting. I'm sure Stan's doing fine. Maybe he's learning how to fish, or joined a chess club, or something.

Sharon:
Randy, do you really think Stan would join a chess club?

Randy: (thinking)
Well, no. But... what if he joined a teen beer club?

Sharon: (shouting)
Randy!

(Randy reluctantly puts on his jacket and grabs his car keys. Sharon follows, arms crossed.)

Randy: (huffing)
Okay, Sharon, I'll go get him. But I'm telling you now: if he's at the park with other kids, laughing and having fun, you owe me an apology.

Sharon:
What if he's not there?

Randy:
So... I don't know, do we just go home and let nature take its course?

Sharon: (pointing at him)
Find our son, Randy.

(Randy parks his car in front of the local park. He gets out, looking around with a mixture of laziness and curiosity. He spots a group of kids playing Frisbee and smirks.)

Randy: (yelling at the kids)
Hey! Has anyone seen Stan Marsh?

(The kids look at him briefly, then go back to playing. One of them mutters, "Who's that weird old man?")

Randy: (to himself)
Well, if he's with these kids, he's probably okay.

(He takes out his cell phone to take a picture as "proof" for Sharon, but upon closer inspection, he realizes Stan isn't there.)

Randy:
Oh, come on. Where the hell are you, Stan?

(Randy arrives at school, walking through the empty hallways while looking for clues. He runs into the custodian, who is cleaning up some graffiti on a wall.)

Randy:
Hey, have you seen my son, Stan Marsh?

Custodian: (still cleaning)
Stan Marsh? No, I haven't. But... I heard Eric Cartman died yesterday.

Randy: (in shock)
Cartman died?

Custodian: (nodding)
Yeah, cardiac arrest. He got frustrated because they switched from Burger Day to Fish Day.

Randy:
Oh, my God. That's... that's terrible.

Janitor:
Yeah, and then the ambulance hit Kenny.

Randy:
Really?

Janitor: (sighs)
Yeah, and it looks like Kyle was in an accident with a... well, I don't even understand it, but he died too.

Randy: (perplexed)
And Stan?

Janitor:
I have no idea.

(Randy enters the library, searching desperately. He can't find Stan, but sees a book on a nearby shelf titled "The Four Legendary Heroes." Frustrated at not finding Stan, he picks it up and begins flipping through it.)

Randy: (reading aloud)
"The Four Legendary Heroes: Chosen from other worlds to wield the Shield, the Sword, the Bow, and the Spear, and save the kingdom of Melromarc..."

(He pauses and frowns.)

Randy:
The shield? Who the hell wants a shield?

(As he continues reading, a bright light envelops him. Randy looks around, confused, as the library fades away and he is transported to the fantasy world.)

to the throne room in the kingdom of Melromarc, where Randy appears before the King and his court.)

Randy tries to understand what's going on.)

A majestic throne room is shown filled with nobles, knights, and the King sitting on an exaggeratedly tall throne. A bright light illuminates the center of the room, and suddenly, Randy appears, disoriented and holding a shining shield on his left arm.)

Randy: (looking around)
Where the hell am I? And what is this? (looks at the shield in disgust) A shield?

King: (standing up with a solemn smile)
Welcome, Shield Hero!

Randy: (frowning)
Shield Hero? What are you talking about? Hey, look, I don't know what you're smoking here, but I have to find my son. Has anyone seen Stan Marsh? He's a little boy in a blue hat.

(The court murmurs, clearly uncomfortable with Randy's attitude.)

King: (with an imposing voice, trying to ignore the comment)
Shield Hero, you have been summoned here to save our world from the Four Calamities, along with the other legendary heroes.
darios.

(The King points to the side, where the other three heroes are: Motoyasu (Spear), Ren (Sword), and Itsuki (Bow), all looking elegant and heroic with their shining weapons.)

Randy: (pointing at them in disbelief)
And why do they have cool things like a spear, a sword, and a bow? What do I have, a piece of metal to hide behind?

Motoyasu (Spear Hero): (smiling arrogantly)
Well, someone has to protect us, right?

Ren (Sword Hero):
The shield is an important tool for defense, although... yeah, it seems kind of boring.

Itsuki (Bow Hero):
I think the shield is... um... functional.

Randy: (annoyed)
I don't need any sugarcoating! This sucks! Why didn't they give me the sword? Or at least a bow, to look useful.

King: (sighing, losing patience)
The weapon you are given is not of our choosing. It is fate that decides which hero will wield each weapon.

Randy:
Well, fate can go to hell!

(The King frowns as the court murmurs in shock.)

King:
Shield Hero, our world is in danger. We have no time for your complaints. The Four Calamities are catastrophic events that will destroy our kingdom if not stopped. The legendary heroes are our only hope.

Randy: (crossing his arms)
And what does this have to do with me? I was just in the library looking for my son. My wife will kill me if I don't find him.

King: (visibly frustrated)
You cannot return to your world until the Four Calamities have been defeated.

Randy: (panting dramatically)
What?! Are you saying I'm trapped here?

King: (seriously)
That's right.

Randy: (pointing at the other heroes)
And they can't return either?

Motoyasu:
Not until we fulfill our mission.

Ren: (shrugging)
That's how it works.

Itsuki:
It's an honor to serve the kingdom, even if it means sacrificing a bit of our freedom.

Randy: (laughing sarcastically)
Oh, right, sacrifice and honor! You guys believe this? I'm not part of your little weirdo club.

King:
You, brave warrior, have been summoned from your world to wield the Legendary Shield and save our kingdom from the Four Calamities!

Randy: (looking at his arm and raising the shield)
This? This is what they give me? A shield? It doesn't even have spikes or anything.

King: (ignoring him, while the nobles murmur among themselves in disdain)
The Four Calamities are disasters that periodically strike our kingdom. Only the Four Legendary Heroes can confront them and restore balance.

Randy: (looking around in disbelief)
Uh-huh. And what does this have to do with me?

King: (with a theatrical gesture)
It's your destiny, Shield Hero.

Randy: (pointing to himself)
No, no, no. My destiny was to sit on my couch, drink beer, and watch TV, not... this.

(The King ignores him and continues talking. Meanwhile, Randy begins to look at his shield more closely, tapping it.)

Randy: (whispering to himself)
Is this plastic?

King: (excitedly)
Hero of the Spear, Motoyasu Kitamura! Hero of the Sword, Ren Amaki! Bow Hero, Itsuki Kawasumi!

Motoyasu: (with a condescending smile)
The Shield is a defensive tool, isn't that great? You can protect everyone.

Randy:
Oh, yeah, great. Protect everyone while the three of you have real weapons and can, I don't know, attack.

Ren: (serious and cold)
The Legendary Shield has its purpose.

Randy:
Oh, yeah? Is it to stop arrows? Because that seems like the only thing it could do.

(As the King explains the Four Calamities, the nobles murmur among themselves. The words "shield" and "pro-demi-humans" are clearly audible. Randy frowns as he half-listens.)

Randy: (interrupting)
Wait, what's this "demi-humans" business?

Random Noble: (with disgust)
Demi-humans are a plague. Half-beast, half-human creatures who have no place in our society.

Randy: (looking at the noble with a raised eyebrow)
So they're basically like furries?

Noble:
What?

Randy:
Forget it. And what does the shield have to do with it?

King: (uncomfortably, but trying to maintain his composure)
You see, Shield Hero, historically, all Shield Heroes have been... uh... demi-human sympathizers.

Randy: (crossing his arms)
And that's bad because...?

King: (quickly)
Never mind! The important thing is that you must face the Four Calamities and protect our kingdom!

Randy:
Protect a kingdom full of idiots who hate demi-humans?

(The King signals that the heroes form teams with the adventurers present in the hall. A crowd of brave and excited young people runs toward the other three heroes, leaving Randy completely alone.)

Randy: (looking around, raising his hands)
Really? No one wants the Shield Hero? Not one?

(The adventurers avoid his gaze. One of them mutters, "I don't want to be associated with a pro-demi-human."  Randy hears this and glares at him.)

Randy: (shouting)
I don't even know what "pro-demi-human" means!

(A young redheaded woman, Malty S Melromarc, steps forward with a bright smile. The murmuring stops as she approaches Randy.)

Malty: (in a sweet voice)
Shield Hero, it would be an honor to join your team.

Randy: (eyeing her suspiciously)
Really? Because I have a feeling this is a trap.

Malty: (laughing softly)
A trap? No, my lord. I just want to help you prove your worth.

Randy: (shrugging)
Well, I guess it's better than being all alone.

Malty casts a malicious look at the nobles, who nod silently. Randy, completely oblivious, tries to adjust his shield, which falls to the floor with a metallic clang.

Randy: (bending down to pick it up)
This is bullshit.

Randy and Malty leave the throne room, leaving the other heroes exchanging glances and shrugging their shoulders.

(Randy and Malty are sitting in a lively tavern. Randy is drinking a huge tankard of ale while Malty, with her sweet but manipulative demeanor, watches him with a smile.)

Malty: (looking around, feigning concern)
Shield Hero, I know you're still adjusting, but remember, your duty is to protect the kingdom.

Randy: (raising the tankard, clearly uninterested)
Yeah, sure, protect the kingdom. But first, let me enjoy this beer. It's the only good thing in this ridiculous world.

Malty: (in a sweet but fake tone)
Of course, my lord. Although... don't you think we should pay up now?

Randy: (looking at his empty mug)
Pay? I thought heroes drank for free.

Well, gentlemen, this is where the redhead betrays Randy and his reputation goes to waste, but since I'm too lazy for that scene, and apparently ChatGPT is too, we'll skip straight to when he recovers.

Randy:
Well, it seems this whole robbery thing isn't my problem.

Later, Randy is camping in the forest. Randy is sitting by the fire, staring at his shield while drinking another beer.

Randy: (whispering to himself)
Maybe Stan is somewhere in this crazy world, fighting dragons or something.

In another world. The Demon King Momonga sneezes, interrupting Albedo, who looks at him worriedly.

Albedo:
My lord, are you okay?

Momonga: (touching his skeletal face)
I'm... confused. How can an undead catch a cold?

(In Momonga's mind, Stan is screaming in despair as he thinks about how to get out of there.)

Stan (inner thoughts):
Someone get me out of this stupid world!

(Cut back to Randy, who sighs and takes another sip of beer, looking at the stars.)

Randy:
Uh, as if that were possible.

(Randy walks through a crowded market. He's clearly disoriented and annoyed, his shield glowing faintly on his arm. Merchants shout out offers of weapons, armor, and exotic goods as people pass by. Randy, hands in his pockets and his nonchalant attitude, stops in front of a stall full of weapons.)

Randy: (pointing to a longsword)
I want that one.

Merchant: (looking at him in disbelief)
Uh... sir, are you the Shield Hero?

Randy:
Yeah, sure, I am. What, Are you going to give a discount for that or what?

Merchant: (nervous)
Well... his shield won't allow him to use weapons.

Randy: (raising an eyebrow)
Pardon?

Merchant:
The legendary shield is enchanted. He can't use other weapons. He can only charge his shield and enhance his abilities with it.

Randy: (trying to pick up the sword, which literally slides out of his reach as if it had a life of its own)
What kind of stupidity is this?! I can't even use a sword?

Merchant: (shrugging)
It's the Shield Hero's curse, sir.

Randy: (throwing the sword back onto the counter)
Great. I'm now a forced pacifist.

(Randy turns around, frustrated, and stumbles upon a hooded man holding a cage. Inside the cage is a semi-human creature, a fox-eared boy, staring at him. (with sad eyes.)

Undercover Man:
Shield Hero, I see you're having trouble. Perhaps you need a partner to fight for you.

Randy: (looking at the man and then at the cage)
Is this what it looks like?

Undercover Man:
A demi-human slave. Faithful, strong, and obedient. Perfect for someone with his... limitations.

Randy: (looking at the boy and then at the man with a grimace of disgust)
You want me to enslave a child?

Undercover Man:
My lord, demi-humans are made to serve. It's their destiny.

Randy: (staring at him)
Yes, and supporting this stupidity will only lead to more slaves.

(The undercover man looks at him in confusion, but Randy continues on, ignoring him.)

Randy: (muttering to himself)
Damn medieval world. I can't even get drunk in peace without being offered shady deals.

(Randy stops at another stall where an old merchant displays brightly colored eggs) (Each egg is encased in a soft cushion, glowing faintly with magical light.)

Old Trader: (with a friendly smile)
Shield Hero! Are you looking for a trustworthy companion?

Randy:
Is this another attempt to sell me something illegal or rare?

Old Trader:
No, no, no. These are Filolial eggs. Noble creatures, useful for travel or battle.

Randy: (looking at a glowing blue egg with curiosity)
Filolial? What is that? A giant chicken?

Old Trader: (laughing)
Sort of, my lord. They're excellent for moving caravans, and if trained well, they can be formidable in combat.

Randy: (thinking aloud)
Hmm... I can't use weapons, I don't want slaves, and the only one who doesn't seem to betray me in this world is myself.

(Randy takes his last gold coin and places it on the counter.)

Randy:
Give me the cheapest egg you have.

Old Merchant: (surprised but pleased)
A wise choice, Shield Hero!

(The old man hands him a small, blue-green egg wrapped in a cloth.)

Randy: (looking at him disdainfully)
You'd better make some good out of here, or I'll make a giant omelet out of you.

(Randy is sitting by a makeshift campfire in the woods, the egg carefully placed on a pile of straw next to the fire. He's drinking from a mug of beer he miraculously managed to procure.)

Randy: (speaking to the egg)
Look, I don't know if you can hear me in there, but you'll be my ticket out of this madness. So, hurry up and hatch now, will you?

(The egg begins to glow brightly, and small cracks appear in the shell. Randy sits closer, surprised.)

Randy:
Oh, great. That was fast.

(The egg suddenly cracks, and a small, chick-like creature emerges, with fluffy white feathers and large, bright eyes. The creature looks up at Randy and emits a high-pitched, adorable "chirp."

Randy: (staring at him)

It really is a giant chicken.

(The Filolial waddles up to Randy, rubbing against his leg and looking up at him adoringly.)

Randy:
Are you following me yet? Don't you even know if I own you?

(The Filolial jumps excitedly and emits a louder chirp. Randy looks at it and sighs, resigned.)

Randy:
Okay, I'll call you... Beery. Because you're the only thing resembling anything good in this place.

(Beery hops happily and starts running in circles around the camp. Randy watches, taking another sip of beer with a wry smile.)

Randy:
Well, at least you can't betray me. Yet.

(The scene fades to Randy and Beer Girl in the campfire light, while the chick continues to scamper happily.)

(Randy is fast asleep by the campfire, snoring with his mouth open. His shield still glows dimly on his arm while his makeshift "RV"—basically a rickety wagon—is strapped to Beer Girl, who is sleeping in her giant chicken form near the fire.)

Randy: (mumbling in his sleep)
Stan... clean up your room... I don't care if you're in another damn world...

Beer Girl lets out a light snort in her sleep. As the sun begins to rise, a magical glow envelops the Filolial. There's a strange "pop" sound, and the creature changes shape.)

(Randy wakes up to the sound of birds and stretches, clearly annoyed by the day ahead. He rubs his eyes and looks over to where Beer Girl was, only to find a small, naked girl sitting in his spot, staring at him with (a wide, happy smile.)

Randy: (blinking several times)
What the...?

Little Girl: (in a high-pitched, adorable voice)
Good morning, Master!

Randy: (confused and still half asleep)
Who the hell are you?

Little Girl:
It's me, Beer Girl!

(Randy looks around, desperately searching for his giant Filolial, as the little girl jumps with excitement. Randy bolts upright, his shield glowing dimly.)

Randy:
Wait, wait. Where's my giant chicken?

Little Girl: (pointing at herself proudly)
It's me, Master! Beer Girl! I've grown so much!

Randy: (with a mixture of horror and confusion)
WHAT?

(Randy walks hurriedly toward a nearby town, with the little girl he insists is Beer Girl happily following him. The townspeople stare at them strangely as Randy tries to cover her with a cloak that's too big for her.)

Randy: (muttering as he walks)
One day you have a giant chicken, and the next you have a naked little girl claiming to be your chicken. This makes sense. This world is perfectly balanced.

Beer Girl: (hopping after him)
Master! Are we going on a quest?

Randy:
No, let's find out what the hell happened to you before someone thinks I'm a lunatic or worse!

(A local merchant, an older woman, sees Randy and the little girl and approaches curiously.)

Merchant:
Oh, Shield Hero, I see you have a Queen Filolial.

Randy: (stopping in his tracks)
A what?

Merchant: (looking at Beer with admiration)
A Filolial Queen. They are extremely rare. ras. You're lucky to have one!

Randy: (looking at Beery and then at the merchant)
No, no, no. What will my Filolial be like? It was a giant chicken yesterday.

Merchant:
Exactly. Queen Filolials have the ability to shapeshift and assume a human appearance, especially when near their owners.

Randy: (looking incredulous)
So you're telling me my giant chicken is now... a naked magical girl?

Merchant: (smiling serenely)
The other way around. That child is an illusion of the Filolial. It's a great honor, Shield Hero. Queen Filolials are natural leaders among their kind. They can command other Filolials, and they're incredibly powerful.

Randy: (massaging his temples)
Perfect. This can't get any weirder.

(Beer tugs at her cape excitedly.)

Beer:
Master! Can we go play with the other Filolials now?

Randy: (sighing)
No. First, let's get you some clothes.

(Randy walks into a clothing store with Beer. The clerk looks at them in confusion, seeing Randy holding the cape covering the girl.)

Saleswoman:
How can I help you?

Randy:
I need clothes for my... giant chicken.

Saleswoman: (confused)
Excuse me?

Randy: (sarcastic)
Oh, sure, this sounds weird now. But wait until I explain everything. My giant chicken is now a magical girl, and I need clothes that can change between her human form and her chicken form.

Saleswoman: (blinking slowly)
You want me to make clothes for a girl who transforms into... a giant chicken?

Randy:
Exactly.

(The shop assistant sighs and begins taking Beer Girl's measurements, who fidgets excitedly.)

Shop Assistant:
This is going to cost you extra, Shield Hero.

Randy: (resigned)
Of course it is.

(Randy and Beer Girl leave the store, with the girl now dressed in a light dress that seems to magically shrink and stretch. Randy wears a tired expression as Beer Girl runs happily around him.)

Beer Girl:
Thank you, Master! Now I can be myself all the time!

Randy: (sarcastic)
Yes, because this is what I dreamed of when I came into this world. Taking care of a magical girl who's also a giant chicken.

Beer Girl continues jumping excitedly, and Randy walks off toward the forest, muttering about the absurdity of it all. The scene fades out as a group of villagers watch them with bewildered expressions.)
