Chapter 2: Chapter 1: Destination: Swaziburg

Takuma Asano:

   I slowly opened my eyes and looked at my surroundings. 

   Wow... so am I really in the novel?

   Right now, I could only see sand everywhere. A desert? What am I doing here? Is this Arab? A very weird place to be isekai-ed into. 

   The good thing was that it was evening. So it was not as hot as daytime. However, it would also get super cold in late night.

   I was also wearing my casual clothes from my previous life. And I had nothing else with me... except that smartphone the God gave me. The smartphone was showing it was currently 6 P.M..

   Anyway, I need to look for what I need to do now...

   "Hello!"

   No one answered....

   Okay... so right now I'm alone... in the desert... with nothing with me... not even a drop water...

   Wait.... this is not good.

   Suddenly, I was in panic.

   I was in an unknown desert. I didn't have a clue where to go. I also didn't have any food or even water with me. How could I survive here?

   I desperately needed a way out here.

   At that time, I heard a voice...

   In fact, it was a loud cry...

   I was surprised, but kept my composure and slowly followed the voice.

   The voice came from behind a small rock nearby. I carefully reached there and investigated.

  "Whoa?", I grasped as I saw the scene.

  Two huge men were confronting a boy, looking similar to my age. One of them was holding a knife closed to the boy's neck as if to threaten him.

   All of them were wearing clothes similar to middle age Europeans. The boy, though, did not look like an European. His looks were more like of an asian.

   "For the last time asking! Give us all the money and ornaments you have!"

   Yeah... those men were surely robbers. The boy was resisting but he surely didn't have power to fight with two robbers.

   I need to do something...

   That's what I thought... but what did I have to challenge those robbers?

   At that moment, I took out my phone. That's the only thing I had. That's a normal smartphone. 

   Does this have any special power at all?

   I asked this question to myself...

   And I got my answer after a look. It does have something special.

   "Oi robbers!"

   The robbers freaked out as I suddenly entered the stage.

   "Huh? What? Who are you?"

   "Leave that guy alone!"

   "What? Hahaha. Are you serious, kid? Hey, grab this kid. Let's rob him too."

   "If you don't leave that guy, you're going to be eaten alive!"

   "Huh?"

   Both of them were confused. Then I opened my smartphone to do some trick.

   I held my smartphone and pointed towards horizon. 

   "Look at there! The hounds are coming!"

   Both the robbers and the boy looked at the direction. And... within a moment they all froze...

   They could see a bunch of hounds.... no... about 50-60 hounds were running towards us... and they were becoming bigger... because they were getting closer...

   "W-W-W-What are those??"

   "M-M-My friend, let's escape!"

   Both of the robbers left the boy and ran for their lives. On the other hand, the boy was too stunned to even move.

   "Looks like this was enough.", I said to myself. 

   I then used my smartphone anfmd disappeared all the hounds.

   "Eh? What just happened?", the boy couldn't believe his eyes as the scary hounds were disappeared again. 

   "Don't worry. This was done by me."

   "You? How?"

   "They are not real. It was because of my smartphone. This can project videos to create an illusion to people."

   Indeed that was one of those features I just found out. At least the God gave me something useful. 

   "Okay I didn't understand what this was. But it looks like a very useful thing."

   "Anyway, who are you? What are you doing here?", I couldn't help but ask him.

   "I'm Haruto... I'll introduce myself in detail. But can I ask the same thing about you? Your clothes are a bit different than me and any other people here. So I'm curious."

   "Oh... yeah right... I come from a country far away... I'm a vagabond and I'm Takuma Asano. Don't think much about me."

   "Ah so you too don't have a home."

   "So that means Haruto also doesn't have a home?"

   "Let's sit down and talk then?"

   We sat down there. Haruto offered me some food which I gladly accepted. And then he explained about himself.

   "Thank you so much Takuma for your help."

   "Don't worry about that. Umm... so why Haruto is here in a desert?"

   "It's a long story. I lived in an orphanage in Wolderburg. Last night Wolderburg was attacked by the Kingdom of Fulkurg. And I had to escape there to save myself from becoming a slave. Now I'm here lost in a desert. My destination is Swaziburg. But I don't know which direction to go."

   "Wait. Wolderburg, Fulkurg, Swaziburg? What are they?", I didn't have a clue as I didn't read the novel yet.

   "You don't know? There are four kingdoms. Wolderburg, Fulkurg, Piesburg and Swaziburg. Currently there is a war going on between Fulkurg and Wolderburg. So I had to leave Wolderburg because the enemy had entered my town. Swaziburg are taking refugees from Wolderburg. So I need to go there. However, I'm lost in the desert."

   "Ah I see..."

    So right now, I should also go to Swaziburg, shouldn't I? And also, is this guy by any chance the protagonist of the novel? He does have a handsome face after all.

   "Hm? What are you looking at?"

   "No... I mean we should look for Swaziburg then?"

   "Yeah but I don't know where to go."

   I looked at my smartphone. There was an icon called "maps". Could this help me somehow?

    I opened the icon and it showed me exactly what "google maps" supposed to show.

    "Hey Haruto? It's called 'Swaziburg' right?" 

   "Yeah? What are you doing?"

   "I think I know in which direction we should go..."

   "Eh?"
