Trapped in Another World With No Magic

Chapter 142: Not Just a Small Town Girl

"Piwo... Piwo... Piwo..."

This is the mantra Zuzia has been grumbling as she walks through a flax field to avoid entering town. The next town she encounters will be the one she'll go into. Now that she remembers being transported to another world, it's less about "kidnapping" and more about the embarrassment and fear she feels with how she had to fight to escape. If any of the fancily-dressed men was a noble or king, she could very well have signed her death warrant.

"Potrzebuję piwa!" snaps the Polish woman as she reaches the end of her patience.

It seemed like a great idea at the time to come to this world. Amalaskae asked nicely, she gave Zuzia immense magical powers to protect herself, and she even was able to bring her camping equipment. Her phone also still manages to work to give her GPS maps, even though this world seems to be mostly medieval. Amalaskae really gave her an advantage in this world, since she was able to escape a castle with mages and knights with relative ease in an alien world. She also managed to save a few lives without realizing her own strength, which is another point of embarrassment.

If she had even given a little thought about her situation, she might've realized it was too good to be a kidnapping. It was magic.

"Piwoooo..." grumbles the Polish woman one more time before calling out in Polish, "Amalaskae? Are you there?"

Finally, a person appears beside her in a flash of light, jogging into step with the young woman who is trying to keep forward momentum. "Y-Yes! I'm here, Zuzanna. I'm sorry. I... I was dealing with something else."

"Another hero?" asks Zuzia, curious enough to ask, but it's a low priority.

"Oh, no! Not at all. You're my o-... Ahem, I was speaking to a colleague."

Zuzia is becoming more and more suspicious that Amalaskae isn't exactly an upstanding and illustrious angel among her peers, but she has granted the young woman enough strength to defend herself, so she isn't completely useless.

"I see. Um... I seem to have made a mess of things."

Amalaskae looks down, fidgeting with her hands, which makes the young Polish woman wary.

"You know why I had amnesia upon arriving."

The angel flinches, blushing in embarrassment as she avoids eye contact. "U-U-Um... That's... well, you see..."

"Tell me, please. Why did it happen?"

The young-looking ethereal being hesitates just a moment longer. "I-It's because... I gave you too many abilities and powers."

Zuzia cocks her head. "Just because of that?"

"Y-Yes... You see, your body, mind, and soul have to adjust to the new powers, and your short-term memory is the primary thing sacrificed in the process. I-If I... limited how much strength I gave you, you would have been able to recall within seconds. B-B-But..."

"I'm basically a super-hero here," murmurs Zuzia aloud.

"Y-Yes, essentially... Your immunity to magic nullification, particularly, was a heavy burden on you. I-It's... I gave you enough to make sure that only a go-erm, an angel like me or God can take away your powers."

"Yes, that makes sense. Did... you have to take away some of my powers? It's only been a couple of days."

"Certainly not! You're exactly as we discussed. You should be able to take on some of the most powerful beings in this world with ease, and if you gather allies, you'll have no trouble."

"Alright. Then, a couple of things we missed."

"Eep!" squeaks the strange angel as she flinches. "M-M-Missed?"
