Transfer?

Picking A Weapon

"Ahhh...!~" The city is so nice... It's definitely better than San Francisco... It's warm, too! Ahh...

"Can you hurry up!? Our match starts in a few hours."

"Alright, alright."

~ blegh, he's so bossy ._.

We arrived at the weapons shop.

I picked up a sword that looked light.

I dropped it and it crushed the table.

"Oops." I said bluntly.

~HAH.

"Just pick one already." Otani mumbled.

I walked over to the hammers, swords, axes, and bows sections, but none of them seemed appealing to me.

"That one!" I jumped over the counter and grabbed a pair of daggers.

I tried them out, but I didn't know where to hold them. All there was, was a sharp blade with a piece of leather that with a strap...

Otani walked over to me and grabbed my hand.

"W-What!?"

He grabbed the daggers and strapped it around my wrist.

"Oh...!~" I opened my hand and the dagger withdrew. I clenched my fist and it popped out.

"Cool!!"

I put the other one on and tested it on a dummy.

I clenched both of my fists, and cut the dummy's head off in a swift movement.

"This'll be fun."

We walked out of the weapons shop.

The man running the store yelled at us.

"DON'T COME BACK, YA FREAK!"

Suddenly, Otani held out a sky blue credit card with a bunny on it. He turned it clockwise like a key opening a door.

BEEP BEEP!

A taxi came speeding towards us.

"The golden city, please." Otani politely said to the driver and walked into the taxi. I got in too.

~Man, I wish he talked to me that way. Hmph!

We were speeding towards a cement wall.

"WAIT STOP! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? YOU'RE GOING TO GET US KILLED!"

Otani said nothing.

"OTANI, STOP HIM!"

We neared the wall. I closed my eyes.

When I opened my eyes, I saw a bunch of people walking around. The driver dropped us off in the middle of the city. Otani held out his credit card and placed it on top of the drivers.

Cha Ching!~

The driver and the taxi were gone.

"Ah... That was scary..." I said and fell to my knees.

"Well, you're gonna get used to it. I acted like that before."

"R-Really?" I was holding in a laugh. I would love to see him scream.

I put my bunny jacket on with he hoodie.

People were walking passed us and looking strangely at Otani.

I kept my head down. Otani grabbed my hand and took me into an elevator.

"W-Why were they looking at you...?"

"They think I should just die."

"What!? WHY!?"

"They say I'm too weak and just bribe my way out of deals."

[Deals are the weekly fights]

"O-Oh..."

We arrived at the top and we were in a gold encased sphere. Otani walked up to the lady at the encounter.

"I would like to register her to be my partner." Otani asked.

"Name." The lady replied.

"Otani Tenpai."

"Partner name."

"Nayumi Shouko."

This seemed really weird, and the atmosphere was tense.

"Your deal will be in 5 minutes."

Otani walked away and I followed.

"Okay, stay back when I fight, alright?''

"But, I want to fight too!"

"It's too dangerous, we'll be fighting against guys who have been doing this ever since they were 6. They only lost 13 times out of 18,932 games."

~ It seemed like an exaggeration, but he said it seriously...

The five minutes passed, and we were teleported into what looked like a small forest.

A ginormous golden coin appeared on top of us and had a timer counting down from 5:00
