Cosplay Elf from Another World [Volume 1]

2. That Damn Thief

Her body laid flat on the ground, immobilized by my body that rested over her. My face was buried on her plump chest, thinking I'm in heaven, but I heard her shortened breaths, like she was running away from something. The vehicles in the vicinity stopped, causing a traffic jam.

I'm still alive, and felt my breathing. When I raised my head and turned back, my prosthetic right foot got disconnected, its middle flattened as the small metallic shards scattered. However, even eyes lie.

For some reason, I've been taken away from my reality with my past vision taking over some seconds of my memory. My breathing quickened rapidly. The vision of the pool of blood under my leg distorted before my eyes, like a hallucination that took over my reality simultaneously.

I've felt the pain mentally, causing my body to heat up while experiencing full-tremors. The sound of my heartbeat trashed into my ears. With copious sweating, I whimpered, wanting not to experience the same pain again. My hazel-brown eyes appeared red. I nearly cried... until the woman before me uttered her words.

"W–Water..."

"S–SHIZU-SAMA!?"

I gasped and looked into her sunken emerald eyes. Her beauty was otherworldly, including the notable long ears that had no touch of any cosplay embeds or plugins. Though she sweated intensely, I could smell floral scents from her body.

She portrayed the exact appearance of the elf goddess that he adored in my game, like... SHE BECAME REAL! However, I perceived her sticky mouth and her skin that lost its glow. My heartbeat cycled slowly back to normal. But there's no time to be lost in thoughts. I shook my head and voluntarily shouted.

"WATER! DOES ANYONE HAVE WATER!?"

Since the crowd had already surrounded us, a stranger gave a bottle of water that hadn't been opened yet. I set off from her, supported her back to sit straight and placed the open bottle diagonally onto her mouth. She swallowed in huge amounts, her throat expanded for every gulp. On a count of five, she already finished the bottle and coughed. Her skin returned its usual glow that attracted the people's gaze.

"Are you alright?" I asked while rubbing her back.

After coughing, she wandered around, paused for seconds, and replied with a tearful voice, "... Where am I?"

"Hey, Shizu-sama, aren't you a hardcore for cosplay roleplays? Whose die-hard Otaku wouldn't know what Akihabara was?" Though she had long elf ears, it doesn't mean that she's Isekai-ed right? She's probably just a cosplayer, and there are hidden cameras somewhere.

But I doubted when she responded to me with a slight tilt of the head to her side. After sitting straight, she pressed her lips and clenched her fists. "...... My father..."

Sounds of unstoppable horns of cards deafened our ears. Soon, a police mobile came to fetch us to make a police report. The policeman left his vehicle and supported me to stand. "Sir, would you be willing to go to the nearby station to file a report?"

When I noticed the PUV driver being questioned by the police's partner, I shook my head. "I just need to ride back home. You can let me go. I can stand on my own foot." Though contrary to my request, the policeman didn't let me go.

"Was this yours? I found it on the nearby pole." Another policeman asked and came to give me the bag that I dropped on the sidewalk. Unfortunately, only the For Dummies book was in there. The figurine didn't even say goodbye from me.

After witnessing the karma of skipping into the lines, I flared my nostrils, accompanied by cycles of noisy breathing. Grinding my teeth, I thought that the girl was an accomplice to steal my treasure. Her similar appearance to Shizu-sama wasn't a coincidence.
