---CHAPTER II: Finding Friends---
~Reader's PoV~
What...was that? I could've sworn I heard someone...
"_____? Any minute now, dear? It's going to be a long drive, you know?" My father called out.
"S-Sorry! I'm already going down the stairs!" I said frantically as I rushed down the steps.
---Le Time Skip---
My father wasn't kidding when he said it was a long trip. I spent my time gazing out the window. From the busy streets of the city of (city name) to the tranquil outskirts of it.
"Hey, _____. Did you know that your Aunt spent a ton of money to renovate her house?" My mother stated.
"Really? Her house is really huge, right? That must've cost a lot of money." I said.
"Well, you know her. Ever since her husband passed away, she's been spending so much time alone in her house. So when we told her we'd pay her a visit, she was so excited and wanted her house to look 'presentable', though it wasn't really necessary because we came to see her and not the house." My father said.
"But honey, she's also conscious about her looks, too. Though she's in quite her old age already, she puts on a lot of makeup. I told her she should look after her health more than her looks, but she won't listen. I'm kinda worried because her kids are abroad. Too far away." My mother said with a look of deep concern on her face.
"Aww. I thought I'd have some cousins to hang out with?" I said.
My father shook his head. "Sorry, dear. Your cousins are all working now and had to leave your Aunt. That's why we're on our way to give her some company, right?"
I shifted into a more comfortable position in the backseat and stretched my arms. My parents proceeded to talk about work matters, politics and blah blah things I don't need to listen to anymore.
I decided to open my laptop since I was getting quite bored. It won't last that long since I forgot to charge the fricking thing. Why am I cursed with such forgetfulness? This is a real problem.
Once the desktop appeared, I double-clicked on the shortcut for HetaOni and continued my previous game. I was already on the second chapter.
---CHAPTER II: Finding Friends---
I controlled Japan and went back to the Library and picked up a key.
Japan: A key? I hadn't noticed it before. Maybe that Thing dropped it during our fight.
Like, why would a monster even hold keys? :T
I opened the menu and checked out where the key is to be used.
Fourth Floor Key: Opens the attic on the fourth floor.
I then headed for the fourth floor. I saw a red chair, a curtain... what was I supposed to do here? I can't remember..
I inspected some stuff and went to the bookshelf. I revealed an AmeriMochi. I remember now!
Japan: Oh, a mochi. Are you stuck?
Ah, I can't get you out. Not like this.
Poor thing... I think Germany might be able to get you out though. I wonder if he would come here for that?
Then again, maybe I will have to get HIM out.
...
No.
Anyway, I'll ask him.
I went back to the fortress where Germany is located.
J: Wha...? Was that door here before? Or is it just my imagination? I'm sure it wasn't an iron door, though...
Japan then knocks on the now iron door.
Japan: Uhm...Germany, do you have a minute?
Germany: Is that you, Japan? What's the matter?
J: You see, there's a mysterious mochi stuck in a wall in a room on the fourth floor. I feel a little sorry for it, so I was wondering if you could get it out...
G: I see. Okay, I'll go and get it out. I just have one favour to ask you, though.
J: Sure, if it's something I can do.
G: You see, when I was running, I dropped my whip. I think we should have some kind of weapon in case that THING shows up again. If it's not too much trouble, could you please look for it?
Lol. A whip. *coughhowkinkycough*
J: What a coincidence! Actually, I found your whip a while ago!
G: ...Oh.
J: Wait, I'll pass it to you.
It was lying on the bed next door.
G: Oh, I... see... Ahem... Thank you.
J: Not at all. I only found it by chance, after all. Now let's go to the fourth f--
G: Ah! Japan!! I'm sorry, but...
J: Yes? What is it?
G: Ah... I'm really, really sorry, but...
Actually, I'm hungry too. Don't you have anything for me to eat?
J: To eat... I'm sorry, but I didn't bring any food with me. I don't have anything that could be used as an ingredient either...
G: I see! So, if it's not too much trouble, could you please go look for something to eat?
WAT. DOITSU. This is really getting weird. I mean, Germany...asking for something obviously impossible. I mean, I know the toilet sells food because I've played this game before but... seriously?
J: Wh... Whaaaaaaaat?!
Th... That's impossible! How could I possibly find any food in this place?!
G: Please! I have no strength right now. Anything is fine; just find me something, okay?
J: ...........................
Haa....Alright. I'll take another look around. I also have to look for Italy anyway.
G: I see!! Thank you!! By the way, did you find my brother?
I giggled. No. I laughed. Why must my mind work like this? Hahaha. I mean, really... Germany asks for a whip, he asks Japan get something impossible to find in the house, and looks for his brother...not his brother and Italy. I know others will say that's not the case, but that's just me. Lol. Anywho...
J: No... But he should be fine. Somehow.
G: Sorry for all the trouble. Oh! By the way, take this with you.
J: (A drink?! And beer, at that?!)
Ah, thank you very much. I'll be going then.
G: Okay, thanks.
Japan then goes to the first floor toilet area. One of the doors were open, so obviously it needs to be checked out.
J: Wow, it's pitch black in here.Where is the switch?
Thing appears and battle begins. It was a close one, I keep on getting stunned and my attacks keep on missing...but I managed to win in the end.
After battle, Japan obtains a key.
After that, he purchased Onigiris and Beer from the toilet and fully restored his HP and MP.
Well ain't that convenie---!
My laptop screen suddenly turned black.. To my dismay, the battery had run out. Dangit! I placed the laptop back in my bag and pouted. Well, it's back to staring blankly out the window. Eventually, my eyes began to slowly droop and I fell into a deep sleep.
----------------
When I woke up, I realised that our car was already parked. I looked out the window and saw that we were in a forest. It seems like we're finally here.
"Mom, is this the pl--" I stopped.
There was no one in the car. Well, they must've brought their bags inside the house already. I put on my bag and got out of the car. I scanned the area. It looks so empty. Maybe Auntie didn't have the place renovated, after all. As I walked towards the front door, I looked at the huge house before me. It's been years since I've been here, but... it looks so different..? Does time really change things that much?
The front door was open so I went inside. Where are my parents? My Aunt? There should be people down here, right? The door then closed behind me. I tried to open it again, but...it won't budge.
"Wh-What the?!" I said frantically. I was literally freaked out right now. Though, the situation seems oddly familiar... I tried to use my cellphone to call my mother.
...... No signal.....
Great.
When I turned away from the door, someone was there... but that person gave me a shock of a lifetime.
No. way.
I looked at the slim man before me. He had black hair and brown, nonreactive eyes. He was wearing an all-white uniform with a sword by his side....and a couple of onigiris and beers in his hands. It's....Japan?... I had a very surprised look on my face. He seemed to be shocked to see me, as well.
"A-Ano... How did you get in here?" He asked slowly.
"I... I thought... I thought that this was my Aunt's house...so I went inside...but... it l-looks like I-I...can't get out...." I said, my voice was trembling. I was realising what this situation is... This unimaginable situation...
"Oh dear. This is really bad. Uhm... I'm here, so please calm down..." Japan said as he approached me. He had a look of concern and worry.
Is this a dream? I pinched my self... It hurt. God. Oh no. I then gave out a heavy sigh.
"Please don't leave me alone." I pleaded.
"O-Of course, I won't. Now, there there... Unfortunately, I don't know how to get out of here either.. and I've been looking for my other friends who are in this house, as well. But worry not. We'll find a way out together." He said.
"Th-Thanks..." I said. I still have no idea if all this is real or not...but what he said was kind of reassuring, so I began to calm down. The man took a step back.
"Ah. Allow me to introduce myself. I am.."
Part of me wanted him to be that character from my favourite anime....but the other part of me knew...that if it really was him...and we're here...locked up in this mansion... It could possibly mean my end...
"...Japan" He said.
I shiver went down my spine and I'm began to feel weak. I started to stagger a little. Japan saw this and went to help me regain balance. Some of the onigiris and cans of beer fell on the floor.
"A-Are you alright?" He asked.
I nodded weakly. "Yeah.. Sorry about that.."
I picked up the food that he dropped and he did the same. "You can put these in my bag if you want." I told him.
He smiled at me and nodded. "That would be very helpful. Thank you uhm...?"
"______ ______. But just call me by my first name." I told him.
"Oh. Alright, then. Thank you, _____-chan." He said.
He then leaded me up the stairs. He told me he found a key but he doesn't know which door it opens yet. If this was really.... dare I say.... HetaOni...then I'll have some knowledge on what to do next...as long as I remember it. But...will they actually believe me if I told them that from I'm from, they're fictional characters and that this was a fanmade game..? Probably not.. But...I need to help in some way... I need to get out of here, too...
"Uhm, Japan...can I take a look at that key?" I asked.
He nodded and handed the key to me. I was a bit shocked when I saw some sort of menu pop out of thin air. It said:
"Bedroom Key: Opens the bedroom on the second floor"
I cannot believe this. It's like I'm still playing the game. If that's true, then... can I check on the inventories and statuses of people at will, as well?
I tried to wave my hand in front of me. A small menu popped up in front of me!
It showed the same menu from the game. Items, Skill, Equip, Status, ATP Options, Money... It even showed Japan. He was labelled, "Master of Reading Moods". He was at level 2 and his HP and MP was still full. I was amazed. What made me more amazed was that I was also displayed in the menu...
But I was labelled as... "Unidentified Player". I was at level 3 and just like Japan, my HP and MP were full. Why am I labelled like that..?
As I was thinking about many things, Japan suddenly spoke up.
"Ano... _____-chan..you've been spacing out for a while now. Is something wrong?" He asked.
I suddenly snapped out of it and looked at Japan. "Japan...you don't see it?"
He tilted his head to the side. "What do you mean?"
So he can't see it, huh... I changed the subject and perked up a little.
"N-Nevermind! Uhm, this looks like a bedroom key, so let's check over there!" I said as I pointed to the bedroom where I know Prussia will be in.
"Alright." Japan said.
As we reached the door, I gave the key back to Japan. He placed the key through the lock and we heard a small click.
"Oh. It is for this door." He said.
He opened the door and allowed me to go in first. There I saw a man with silvery hair wearing a dark blue uniform stood facing away from us. He's really...Prussia..
After Japan closed the door, he slowly approached the albino...
Shit. I almost forgot!
Before he got near the other man, I grabbed Japan by the sleeve and asked for the key. He gave it to me and I quickly hurried to lock the door. Phew. I watched the two from afar.
Japan was about to tap Prussia's shoulder or something, but Prussia swiftly turned around with a sword in hand.
"Hh!Who's there!?"
"Woah!C-Calm down! It's me!"
"Oh, it's you Japan?Ah... Sorry"
"Are you alright?"
"Th-There was a monster! I saw it!!Ah, a stark naked giant with the color of a rotten scone!!"
I stifled a giggle at his description.
"It's true! We all saw it!Me, and West, and Italy too!"
"Yes, I know."
"Before I knew it, I'd wound up here.Those two... I don't know where they went.Am I making any sense?"
"Yes, quite. That does make sense.I saw it, too."
"What the hell is that THING?O... Oh!! And what happened to the others?! And...and... Who's that frau over there?" Prussia then pointed at me.
I waved nervously.
"Ah.. This is _____-chan." Japan motioned me to move closer to them and I did so.
"Nice to meet you, frau. I am the AWESOME PRUSSIA. Kesesese!" He said gallantly as he shook my hand.
"N-Nice to meet you, too.." I said. I was still torn between fangirling because I'm meeting Hetalia characters...and being terrified because this is HetaOni...
"So... you got stuck here in this house, too, huh?" He said symphatetically.
"Yeah..." I replied.
"Did...you see that monster...?" He asked slowly.
I haven't seen Steve yet...but I know that he's here...so I should just tell them I did.
"Yeah...I did..." I said quietly.
"Mhm.. Don't worry! The awesome me is here to protect you! We'll get out of here in no time." He told me as he ruffled my (h/c) hair a bit.
"Thanks..." I said.
"Anyways, Japan... about the others?" Prussia said, turning to his friend.
"Germany is on this same floor.He claimed he was hungry.But... I haven't found Italy.Do you have any idea where he might be?" Japan asked.
"What!? Italy's missing!?Do you think he was attacked by that monster?"
"We can't be 100% sure..But he's very fast and good at running away.I do believe he managed to escape somehow."
"All right!! Then I'll look for him too!But first, let's go where West is. What's he doing anyway?"
"He said he was too hungry to move. Prussia, don't you have anything for him to eat?
"
"Something to eat...Now that you mention it, I did find some mushrooms while I was running away.Will that do?"
"That should do."
I suddenly spoke up. "U-Uhm, I've got lots of food in my bag, too." I told them.
Prussia gave me a thumbs up. "Good job, frau! All right! Then let's..."
He became silent for a while.
I remembered what was going to happen, so I hurriedly went behind Prussia and clutched his sleeve.
"You...hear it too, huh?" He asked. I simply nodded.
Japan gave us a puzzled look. "What's the matter?"
"Don't you hear the sound of something...getting... closer?" Prussia asked.
Japan then tried to observe and listen to his surroundings.
"Hey, say...If that thing on your waist isn't just for show, pull it out of its sheath. If you don't want to be eaten, that is. And we've got a frau here to look after." Prussia told Japan.
"Agreed." The Japanese man replied.
The doorknob began clacking. Thank goodness I remembered to lock the door. After a while, there was only silence.
"...Is it gone?" Prussia asked.
"Yes, probably." Japan stated.
"All right. That was a little scary, but now we should join West. Let's find Italy and get out of here as soon as possible!"
"Indeed."
"C'mon, frau. Let's go." Prussia told me.
"Guys... I think you should still prepare yourselves..." I told them.
"What do you mean?" Japan asked.
Before I was able to answer, Prussia already opened the door... to reveal a giant alien-like monster. This seriously scared the shit out of me, even though I expected it.
They then began to fight the monster. I was there behind them.
"Waah!I thought it was gone!!" Prussia shouted.
"Apparently not." Japan said.
"The more I look at it, the scarier it looks!I can't use my awesome techniques like this!Do something!" Prussia said frantically.
Dangit.. Isn't there anything I can do?
I suddenly remember what I did a while back. I waved my hand in front of me and a screen appeared once more. It was the battle scene, only it's in the same graphics as the game. Japan was using his skill, Dismissal. Prussia, on the other hand, was using his Bear the Cross skill. I was also there on the screen, but I had no attack or skills. Though it seems I can use defend and items. While I was checking on the items, the monster hit Japan. I saw that his HP was getting low. Prussia's HP was still okay, but he's already out of MP.
I opened my bag and grabbed an onigiri and beer that was placed there. I then cautiously went beside Japan.
"__-___-chan.. Stand back, you'll get hurt." He instructed me.
"I will, don't worry. But first, you need to eat this." I told him.
"Uh.. Japan, I can't hold up much longer." Prussia said as he was attacking the monster.
"S-Sorry, Prussia. Anyways, _____-chan..I'll eat that later.. As you can see, we're in the middle of something." He told me.
"Nu-uh. You're already feeling weak. Now eat the onigiri already." I told him sternly.
He gave up and ate the rice ball. After that, I checked the menu. His HP recovered by 500. I smiled to myself.
"Wow. I'm starting to feel strong again. Thank you." Japan said before attacking the monster.
This time, Prussia was blown back by the monster. His HP isn't that low yet, though. I gave him a can of beer.
"Uh. Frau, as much as I love beer, I need to fight that ugly monster. So stay put, okay?" He told me.
"You can't fight if you don't have energy. Now, drink." I told him, my arms crossed.
"A-Alright, then..." He said before gulping down his drink.
"Aah~ Woah! You're right, I do feel energised now!" He said. After that, he began attacking the monster with his skill.
After a few more attacks on the monster, they eventually won. The monster didn't disappear though, but it was slowed down.
"Quick, let's go to the room where Germany is." Japan said.
We all rushed towards the room. We went inside and closed the door. Safe. For now, that is.
"This is the fortress where Germany is." Japan said as he pointed at the iron door.
"It's pretty solid. Hey, West! Japan told me you were hungry. D'you want some mushrooms? Or food or something?" Prussia asked.
A low voice was heard from the other side of the iron door. "Is that you, Prussia?Are you all right!?"
"Yeah, I'm fine!But I have bad news! Italy is still missing! And we have to help a mochi." Prussia replied.
After that, a tall, burly man with blue eyes and blonde hair went out of the, er, closet? Whatever. I knew that that man was none other than Germany.
"Hmm. All right. I'm done here, so we can go now. But...bruder, who's the frau?" He said.
Once again, I waved nervously.
"Ah! West, this is _____!!.. ______, this is my younger bruder, Germany." Prussia said proudly.
"You're...locked up in here like us, huh?" He said sadly.
"Yeah...but I hope I can help as much as I can to get us out of here." I told him.
He then gave a smile. After that, he turned to Japan. "Can we come back here once in a while?" He asked.
Japan nodded. "I don't mind, but...Do you actually like those narrow spaces?"
"Well, you could say that I'm... used to them.There's a lot of room, though." Germany replied.
"I don't really get what we're supposed to do, but let's go to the fourth floor!" Prussia exclaimed.
Hence, all four of us headed for the fourth floor. It was reealllyy tiring. I wish I had a shift button here somewhere =.=
On our way up, Prussia remembered something.
"Ah! Before I forget, I really need to thank you, frau!" Prussia said as he placed a hand on my shoulder and gave me a bright smile.
"Huh? What for?" Germany asked.
"Well, you see West--when we were battling the Thing, she made us eat some food. At first, we thought we didn't need to, but it actually helped us quite a lot! Kesesesese!" Prussia explained.
"That's right. I express to you my gratitude, ____-chan. You really helped us there. But...how did you know that we needed it?" Japan asked.
Uh-oh.. I don't know if I could tell them the truth... Mhhm...
"W-Well..I didn't really want to just stand there and play the damsel in distress... So I observed you guys from afar and...calculated what you guys would be needing and stuff...." I told them.
"That's a good skill for a soldier." Germany said approvingly.
"Haha..t-thanks, I guess.." I said quietly.
We all stopped at the attic door on the fourth floor. Japan had the key, so he opened it again.
--------------
"Well?" Japan asked.
Germany was trying with all his might to get the AmeriMochi out.
"It's stuck pretty deep.Can you do it, West?" Prussia asked.
(OoH! That's what he said. Lol)
"Huggggnn!! ......Sorry, I can't do it with my bare hands. Maybe if I had some kind of tools." Germany stated.
Japan then began to think of something. "A tool...Well, it's a big house. I'll take a look around."
"Yeah, I would be really thankful if you could find something useful." Germany said.
"Oh, well. I guess we'll have to split up again to look for it." Prussia said.
The AmeriMochi suddenly reacted unpleasantly towards Germany. To the surprise of the burly man. "Ngggh... Wooaaaaargh!!"
"Awesome face." Prussia said, amused.
"Well then I'll be going ahead. I'll come back as soon as I find anything good." Japan said.
"Ah! Can I tag along, Japan?" I asked.
He smiled and nodded. "Sure. Come on, let's go."
I smiled back and walked over to him.
Prussia then spoke up. "I think I'll go, too. Actually I haven't looked around very much. Might as well do some exploration!"
"Thanks." Japan said.
Parted from Germany and Prussia.
