Nearl, Ace, Amiya, Ace, and the Doctor stared at the black haired boy as he laid on the rock, reeling from exhaustion, panting and clutching his chest.
He was a strange person, appearing out of nowhere and in panic, undergoing what Amiya empathically read as a mental breakdown.
Wanting to escape the city because of the Reunion slaughterfest happening all around, the 15 year-old boy decided to go with them in a combined effort to escape...
But with constant battles against the Reunion ring leaders and their soldiers, everybody in the group was bound to have a breaking point. It was especially apparent after Megumi had separated himself from the group temporarily, wiping out a group of Reunion elites in a confined building.
Nobody knew what happened, except for Amiya clutching her head and everybody feeling as if the abyss itself had emerged itself in that room.
The boy came out exhausted, dropping to his knees in front of them, so the Rhodes Island group took the initiative to carry him, Nearl specifically.
"Somebody, get him water, if you can!" Nearl, the Radiant Knight called out to the medics tending to the wounded, thankfully, one of them was free to spare a flask. "Here you go," she extended it to the boy, you looked up with half lidded eyes and grasped it with a shaky hand.
"T-thank you..." Taking one big gulp of the canteen, Megumi started to feel his parched throat getting better. "Huuh," taking a deep breath, he handed the empty canteen back to Nearl.
'She'd probably be Yuji's type,' he mused in his mind.
Megumi's thoughts wandered back at what had led to this, blaming his accursed luck. First, being taken over by Sukuna and dying along with him (he didn't mind dying to be honest), but being isekai'd to another world like some shitty power-fantasy anime/manga?
Goddamnit, he didn't even get anything out of this. One thing he did realize, was that understood the language that these people spoke, somehow.
He was starting to believe this was the result of some higher-being cursing him and sending him to another hell-scape that was basically Shibuya 2.0. Exactly like one of those mangas Yuji shared with him...
'Yuji...' Megumi didn't blame him for taking his life at all, what needed to be done was done, he could die satisfied with that.
"Are you alright?" A sweet voice entered his ears, as a little girl entered his view, along with the Doctor beside her.
She had rabbit ears, imagine his surprise when he started to see everybody in this world having animal features... also one of the reasons why he came to the shitty isekai conclusion.
He could see the genuine worry in her eyes, for some reason it felt as if she could read anybody, which he deduced to be a part of her ability... Arts as these people called them.
"It's-," He was about to reply, unfortunately...
"Everybody, get up! There's somebody approaching!" Dobermann yelled out at their hiding spot, as everybody turned to gaze at her.
Then... a spiral of flames shot forward, all encompassing, reminding Megumi of a certain Demon.
His pupils dilated, as Nearl and Ace rushed forward to shield the group from the incoming blast. Eventually, they met the blast head on; pressing against it like unmatched friends facing an unbeatable threat...
What could have been, Megumi clutched his head as he thought back to his previous world. 'Stop thinking about them damnit, get your bearings together and focus on the present.'
