"I don't know this ceiling..." A boy with spiky black hair muttered to himself as he finally woke up.

This boy's name was Natsuki Subaru and he had been transported to this new world only yesterday. The last thing he could recall was being in the loot house beside a beautiful girl with silver hair he'd been trying to help and a red haired super knight named Reinhard. After taking a second to recollect that, he felt a wave of accomplishment as he remembered that the silvered haired girl finally revealed her name to him.

Emilia.

That was such a cute and beautiful name for a goddess such as her after all! Subaru took a few more moments to remember what else happened and frantically patted his stomach, eagerly searching for any kind of cut. To his surprise, there wasn't anything there. He remembered that his stomach cut open thanks to the bowel hunter and that painful sensation made him lose consciousness. He was very satisfied to know that he didn't end up dying. He would've lost his mind if he had to redo all that again.

Subaru finally observed his surroundings beyond the new ceiling. He had awoken in a fancy looking bed inside an equally fancy room. This room wasn't anything too grand but it did give off a 'I'm in a rich person's room' vibe.

Subaru got himself off the bed and approached a window in the room. Outside, he saw a large spacious garden. Beyond the garden, he saw the familiar buildings that were around the market which told him that he was still in the city.

"So, I'm still in the city..." Subaru muttered to himself as he put together his next course of action. "I guess this is the part where I go find the npc!"

After shouting out his plans to no one but himself, he rushed to the door of the room. After trying to exit, he nearly rammed into a familiar red haired knight.

"W-Woah!" Subaru cried out as he fell back, nearly hitting the doorframe. He looked up to the tall man to realize it was none other than Reinhard, the very man who destroyed the loot house. "Reinhard?! What are you doing here?!"

Reinhard, who effortlessly dodged Subaru's charge, smiled at his confused friend. "Subaru? What a coincidence, I was just about to check and see how you were doing."

Subaru blinked a few times before getting back on his feet. "Um, I mean, I appreciate that. But really, why are you in this place?"

"Ah, my apologies, you are currently in my home. I made food for you and milady, so we can discuss this then." Reinhard bluntly answered before starting to walk off, expecting Subaru to follow along.

As much as Subaru wanted to explore, he still had so many questions for the overpowered knight. "H-Hey! Wait up!" Subaru shouted out as he rushed over to Reinhard's side.

As the two went on their way, they approached a door that was being banged against from the other side and the door itself was visibly shaking to the rhythm of the banging.

"I said open up, dammit!" A familiar feminine voice screeched out from the other side of the door. Reinhard calmly opened the door, only to be met with a flying kick. However, the abnormal man caught the kick with ease, causing the perpetrator to lose their balance and fall on the floor.

Subaru instantly recognized this person to be Felt, the girl from the poor house. Felt, who was currently sitting on the ground, stared daggers at Reinhard. "Don't block my kick, you bastard! You better tell me what the hell is going on here!"

"What's with the aggression, Miss Felt? Is the room not to your liking?" Reinhard asked with genuine confusion as he knelt down to help Felt up.

Felt on the other hand pushed his hand away. "I can get up myself!" The girl growled before getting herself back on her feet. Without any warning, Felt swung her fist to the knight which the latter caught with ease like he did with her kick. "I said don't block it, you bastard!"
