Kingdom Hearts: Saving Life in Another World

Chapter 58: Who are you?

The sensation of waking, was like the moment of emerging out of the water's surface. Pulling the dreaming, unconscious body upwards, using a breath to restore the entire body to reality, the consciousness slowly reawakened, and, breaking through the water's surface, he was born. If sleep was death, and wakefulness was life―― then that description would not have been far off. Anyways, such poetic sentiments aside, he gradually began to wake until he heard,

"――Subaru! Hey, Subaru, are you alright?"

"Th-the wha!?"

The moment he opened his eyes, immediately stricken by the beautiful face in front of him, Subaru rolled to the side and not rolling very far before running out of surface, he dropped a short distance and landed on his shoulder.

"Ngya!"

"Eek! Subaru, you alright!? Why did you start rolling all of a sudden!?"

"N-No, it's not like I willing decided to roll or anything..."

Squeezing his banged-up shoulder and lightly shaking his head, he pushed himself up. And then, in the blink of an eye, Subaru was confused. It was a green room. The entire interior of the room was covered by sprawling ivy that completely hid the walls behind them. If he was told that the whole outlandish-looking room was made of ivy, he probably would've believed it and apparently, Subaru was lying on the floor beside a bed woven from ivy at the very center of the room. That was probably what he rolled off of...would be his analysis of the situation.

It was funny that Subaru could make such judgment so calmly, but there was reason for that.

"Hmm, it looks like you didn't hit anything too hard. That's good. But I got reeeaaaally worried, you know, you shouldn't scare me like that."

"Emilia, if you say it like that, Subaru won't reflect on it, I suppose. If you don't say it more severely, Betty's worries won't get through to him."

"I guess you're right. But I'm surprised Beatrice would be saying that. After going into such a panic when you couldn't find Subaru, you were almost in tears when you found him lying there..."

"You don't have to mention that part can you not mention that part, I suppose!"

In front of his eyes, the conversation started going out of control. Nodding stupidly to the rhythm of the bickering that made him want to smile, Subaru turned around. Sitting on the floor and breathing behind him, was some kind of huge animal.

"――――"

There was, a giant lizard. With black scales covering all over its skin, it was a huge lizard the size of a horse. The strangest part was that it was gently snuggling up to Subaru's neck with its nose. Seeing that it was friendly, Subaru gently petted the lizard on its head and then, he let out a sigh.

"In other words, this is it..."

Calm, and collected, slowly, he breathed out these words. Seeing Subaru like this, the two girls in front of him tilted their heads.

"――Subaru?"

The two females simultaneously called Subaru's name with concern in their voice. A silver-haired girl who was so beautiful that his eyes wanted to explode, and a fairy-like little girl in a pretty dress. A beautiful silver-haired girl, a Drill-Loli, a giant lizard, and a room made of ivy, Subaru opened his mouth wide, and shouted it out.

"I'VE BEEN SUMMONED TO A PARALLEL WORL――D!?"

"Subaru?"

"What is going on here?"

The three heard another voice and turned towards it to reveal a girl who had short pink hair, having a stern look.

"Emilia-sama, what is going on here?"
