The warm sunlight filtering through the tree's leaves above cast dappled shadows on Michi's peaceful face. His gentle breathing and relaxed posture betrayed no hint of the turmoil that lay beneath. The soft rustle of leaves and chirping birds filled the air, a serene symphony.Suddenly, a soft voice disrupted his serenity."Michi, wake up."Michi's eyes fluttered open, and he found himself gazing into Airi's bright, inquisitive eyes. Her long, raven-black hair framed her heart-shaped face, and her lips curled into a gentle smile. Her beauty was mesmerizing, yet Michi's confusion took center stage."Huh? What? Where am I? Who am I?" Michi's confusion was palpable, his brow furrowed in distress.Airi's laughter echoed through the air, a melodious sound that eased Michi's tension."You're under a tree, and you're Michi, of course!" Her voice dripped with amusement.Memories flooded Michi's mind like a bursting dam. Fragments of his past life, his transfer to this world, and the events that led him to this moment swirled together in a kaleidoscope of images."Oh yes! I was isekaid here, hahaahah!" He chuckled, acknowledging his unexpected transfer to this world. The term, familiar yet foreign, rolled off his tongue with a mix of excitement and trepidation.Michi's attire consisted of a crisp white shirt and pants, topped with a sleek black jacket that seemed out of place in this fantastical world. A mysterious card rested on his chest, its contents unclear, like a puzzle waiting to be solved. A prominent forehead stone embedded in his middle forehead changed colors according to his mood; currently, it glowed a soothing green, reflecting his growing calm.As Michi sat up, Airi handed him a small, intricately carved wooden box."This was beside you. I think it might belong to you."Michi's eyes widened as he opened the box, revealing a small note with his name and a cryptic message:"Trust Airi. She will guide you."A shiver ran down Michi's spine."Who wrote this?" he asked.Airi shrugged."I didn't. Maybe someone who knows you?"Michi's thoughts swirled.Five Days Ago...A sudden door burst open, and a boy found himself amidst a group of girls in bath dresses. Shock and embarrassment filled the air as he hastily exited the building, revealing the girls' washroom and bathroom. The sign above the door, "Girls' Bathhouse," seemed to mock him.Screams echoed, and the boy rushed back in, his face burning with regret. The girls, mistaking his intentions, attacked him with whatever they could find – towels, soap, and even a few loose stones. Amidst the chaos, someone shouted, "Ecchi Michi!" The boy was thrown out, his face bearing slap marks, forehead stone now pink, eyes swollen, and clothes torn.Dazed, he sat on a nearby bench, questioning his reality."Am I isekaid? If I am, that's cool! I accept it, wow!" His thoughts swirled with excitement and trepidation.A distant scream pierced the air, and he sprinted toward the sound. In a narrow alley, two boys harassed a girl. Michi intervened, standing tall despite his torn clothes."This is not right; you can't do this to a girl!" Michi declared, his voice firm but shaking slightly.Unbeknownst to Michi, his words took on a different meaning. The boys fled, traumatized. Michi faced the girl, who laughed."Ohhh, you just saved me in the most weird way possible, hahahHHHa!" Her eyes sparkled with amusement.Michi recognized the girl."You're the one who called me Ecchi Michi! How did you know my name?" His curiosity got the better of him.Airi chuckled."I didn't know; I was just rhyming, hahaha! I'm Airi."Michi's torn clothes fell, exposing him further. Airi restored his attire with magic, her eyes twinkling with mirth."Thanks, you're a lifesaver," Michi said, his face warming.Airi teased."What were you doing in the toilet, peeking at us?" Her voice danced with playful accusation.Michi defended himself."No, never! I don't know how I got there; it's like I was transferred."Airi touched Michi's head, reading his emotions."You're right; you didn't have bad intentions. Sorry for judging you."Michi learned about his emotion stone and accepted Airi's offer to visit her mage family."Let's go," Airi.
As they approached the grand mansion, Airi announced their arrival."We are here, Michi... Father, I have returned!"Michi's eyes widened in awe."That's a big mansion!"Suddenly, a middle-aged man emerged from the entrance, clutching his stomach."Oh, you're back! And who is this gentleman?" he asked, his face flushed.Airi smiled mischievously."He is Michi; he saved me today from the bandits."The man's expression transformed."_Screams_ THANKS FOR HELPING MY DAUGHTER! JUST WAIT, I'LL COME BACK SOON!"Michi recoiled, shocked.Airi reassured him."Don't worry, my father always has loose motions. He'll come back soon. Come on, let's go inside, okay?"Michi followed Airi, still bewildered.Inside, Airi led Michi to a lavish dining room. A beautifully set table and comfortable chairs awaited them."Please, sit here," Airi said.As Michi sat, the middle-aged man reappeared, composed."Ahhh, what a relief. Oh, nice to meet you, son. My name is Jigenshi Knevesnia. And you, young man?"Michi stood, bowing slightly."Hello, sir. I am Michi."Jigenshi's face lit up."Nice name, nice name! Thanks a lot for saving my daughter. You must stay with us today."Michi hesitated."Um... sure. It's not like I have a better place to stay."Airi excused herself."I'll call Mom, okay?"Jigenshi nodded."Yes, go, Airi."As Airi left, Jigenshi turned to Michi."So, young man, what is your occupation?"Michi faltered."Um... for now, I just want to be an adventurer."Jigenshi's eyes sparkled."That's a nice dream! Have you joined the guild?"Michi shook his head."No, I will join soon."Jigenshi smiled."I'll help you. My older son, Yakop , is the guild master of the adventurer's guild. He'll accept you soon."Michi's eyes widened."Whoa... you mean Airi's big brother?"Jigenshi nodded."Yes, though he's too busy with his work to come home often. Let me tell you something – he's my first child. I tried and waited a long time for him, but nothing happened. Then I left my wife for ten years and went to the mountains to gain power. After a lot of training and blessings, when I returned, I found out my son Yakop was born. I was so happy!"Michi's mind reeled."Wow... wait a minute... 10 years of separation, and how did you have a baby?"Before he could ask further, a soft hand touched Michi's head, and a beautiful lady approached him from behind, stroking his hair."I heard you saved my daughter. Oh, I am so happy, dear Michi. My name is Velina Knevesnia."Michi's forehead stone turned pink as Velina cherished his cheeks.Suddenly, the table lurched upward on Michi's side, as if pushed from below. Jigenshi's soup spilled onto his face, and a foul smell filled the air.Velina wrinkled her nose."Dear, what's this bad smell?"Jigenshi rushed to the bathroom."WHUHMM... wait, I'm coming in five minutes!"Airi chuckled."Mom, Michi and I want to know about his forehead stone. It changes colors with emotions."Velina smiled."That's a very rare sight. Wait for your father; he may know something. Michi, don't be shy; eat whatever you like."Michi's face flushed."Yes, ma'am."Airi teased."Wow, you're so famous in my family that I'm kinda jealous, haha. Don't worry, just eat and relax today. Tomorrow, we'll go to the adventurer's guild, where Oni-san will register your name as an adventurer, and you can take quests."Michi nodded."Sure, thanks."Jigenshi returned, composed."I'm back, haha! Oh, by the way, Michi, you have a nice forehead stone. What is this for?"Airi asked."You don't know it too, Dad?"Jigenshi shook his head."Sorry, dear, but I think I heard about this mark when I visited Euromia, the land of earth."The evening unfolded with lively.
