Simple Beings

Chapter 5~

Her voice was shaky and small, she gave him a concerned look,

"where am I?!"

The sudden out burst caused him to flinch a bit,

"H-hey calm down...you mean you don't know where you are?"

Something in her made her expression change...she began to feel small again, something about this man made her feel flustered. Was it the soft tone and expression he used with her...? Or the way he acted around her...so kind and gentle...so patient. What was wrong with her?! Why was she thinking these things?! She had just literally met him!

She quickly shook her head.

"No...I-i wouldn't have asked if I knew..."

"Well...you're on a planet known as Earth...our specific location is private...but it should be enough to know what planet you're at least on."

"E-earth...?H-how did I get here?"

"Hm? You really don't know...you seem to have crashed here...a few days ago that is, you were in some odd space craft."

A sudden pain was sent through her head. She grimaced and held her head, a small groan of pain escaped her lips.

"I-i don't remember..."

"Wait...you don't remember anything from before you crashed here, right?"

She nodded at him, his expression quickly changed to a concerned one. Did the impact really cause this much damage?

"This is a problem..."

She simply stared at him, as she inspected him closely she noticed something was ... off about him.

"You have different colored eyes...?"

"Hm?"

His eyes widened as he realized what she had just said. He quickly covered his left eye and looked around.

"W-what's wrong? Did I say something wrong...?"

"N-no... it's not that, it's just that...ugh I can't find it!"

He exhaled in frustration, today was just great for him, a naked lady, who was honestly quiet a stunning woman, he lost his contact, and his companions thought he was a pervert now. Just great.

"A-ah...are you looking for this...?"

He looked up at her and saw she was holding just what he was looking for. She handed him it and cocked her head at him.

"What is that?"

"Nothing important..."

She bit her lip and looked away. Was she a nuisance to him...? She sighed, her heart beat quickly in her chest, it felt like it could burst at any moment, these emotions were confusing her.

"Is something the matter?"

His soft expression had returned, causing her to become flustered again.

"N-no...it's nothing really..."

"Are you sure?"

She nodded rapidly at him. He cleared his throat as soon as the awkward silence began to creep around.

"I haven't properly introduced myself to you now that I think about it."

"The name's Lechktu and it's a pleasure to meet you."
