Is this how you work it? I really need some-oh, it's on! Great! It was getting frustrating after a while, but it...looks like the video on this thing is working.

[And so the face of a spikey-haired boy comes into view, his face showing signs of excitement.]

Ciaossu! Listen, there's a problem here. See, this place keeps on popping up on my computer, and I've tried several times to make it go away. But, it just won't! I really don't know what to think about it.

Anyways, it's really starting to clog up my computer by this point, and I'm wondering if there is any way to just make it go away. What is this place supposed to be, some sort of...social network site? This is all sounding way too familiar with what Natsume-san does.

...oh, right! I forgot about it. Ahem, my name is Souhei Sasahara, but my friends call me "Sasayan", so feel free to call me that. If you have any idea on how to help me, please let me know! If it doesn't go away then... [A bit of despair seemed to flash on his face at that point, quickly replaced by his usual grin.] Thanks, you've been helpful!

...To get out the doors? [That statement puzzled him. But...it's good to know she at least saw this thing in his room? Ah, he shrugged once more, and allowed those fifteen centimeters.] How big are these brownies, anyways?

Ah, well, I would have imagined that it would have been traumatizing for someone like you to be kidnapped. You seem awfully kind as it is. [Or so he thinks so far. Who knows, maybe she has a dual personality? Ah, Sasayan, stop thinking these things.] ...the wrong hands?

They're fairly small, but portly and about.. [ She shows him with her hands, about the size of a garden gnome. ] that large, with scrunched faces.

Well, I have Nico with me and Edgar has been.. much kinder than the other individual after my expertise. He wasn't the one chasing me with a battleship, after all. [ No dual personality or anything, alas. She's just... too kind to leave Edgar even though she had a chance. ] It's a special sword that indicates nobility and would give the owner, if obtained, rights to land in the fairy world as well as kinship to the king in this world and recognition as the Blue Knight Earl.

Wow, that's not big at all! I was actually expecting them to be the size of a mouse, but...eh. Too bad I can't see them myself...

[Wow, from the sound of it, her world must be totally bonkers.] Nico and Edgar? Are those your friends from your world, or are they escort of sorts? [A sword that'll make the user a king? Sounds like a fairy tale, already.] ...man, that really is nuts, I'm glad I'm here in simpler times...

Fairies vary in size and shape, just as earthly creatures do.

Nico is a friend of mine, he's a fairy cat. Edgar is the man I'm traveling with who employed me. [ Just kinship with one! Not the actual king.. ] It was simple until very recently.

[Now he's getting the vision of a fairy being about as big as a bear.] So they're not that different from anything on this Earth, huh? That's actually pretty cool. You really do have a cool job!

...A fairy cat. [Something about that just seems off.] Eh? You mean with kidnapping?

Some things can be quite similar, of course. I have a.. [ Should she call him a friend? He's kind of...

Well, okay, maybe her life wasn't totally normal before she got kidnapped. Let's just leave it at that for now. ] I know a Kelpie, who is actually an aquatic horse. He can appear as a human to some people as well, of course, since he's a somewhat strong fairy with a need to lure people in.

Yes, Nico's a fairy cat. You should be able to see him though. [ It's easy for her to turn a book around to show a cat, sitting like a human and looking like he's chiding Lydia for something, even moving his mouth like words instead of meows. Of course, it doesn't sound like anything to someone who isn't a fairy doctor.. ] Don't worry, Nico, it's fine. [ She turns it around. ] Yes, around that time.

[Her world sure is getting stranger and stranger. Of course, the image of an aquatic horse just gives him the image of a large seahorse, which made him chuckle.] Ah, it'd be fun to ride that Kelpie underwater, then, assuming you have the potential to breathe under there! [That last part made him a bit uneasy.] ...does this one actually eat people, too?

[At first, he was going to say how cute the cat was, until noting how it was sitting like a human and actually moving his mouth like that. This made Sasayan jump back a bit.] How in the world is he doing that?! [Seeing is believing with him, after all.] Now I'm convinced that weird things do happen from where you're from!

[He started to rub his head in confusion.] ...So this is normal to you, the cat?

If it's in the fairy world, it's possible, but he can run on land as well. He is a horse, after all. Though he enjoys it when I ride him far more than necessary. [ She nods, not looking entirely satisfied with that. ] It's his diet though, so it can't be helped. He tends toward other types of meat around me, at least.

[ Waiiit.. ] You didn't believe me before?

[Wow. And he thought he had it bad with all the problems he had to deal with. Still, the thought of an land/aquatic horse-fairy hybrid thing made the tale all the more interesting. Although, that last part did raise some objective statements from this boy.] Wait, you watch the guy actually eat other humans around you? [...that's what he got out of it, at least.

[...uh oh. Cheese it, Sasayan!] Well, I wasn't entirely convinced yet, you know, clouds of doubt sort of deal. But now, I can say that I'm on your side!

Of course not! He wouldn't do that around me, like I said. I said he tends toward other meats, like what humans eat. He doesn't have to eat humans, so he doesn't around me. [ She sounds a little horrified at the idea. ]

[ Of course, she's already convinced that he definitely didn't believe her. Edgar still doesn't believe her sometimes. He says that her world is simply broader than the way he sees things, but she still doesn't think he even believes in them despite that he hired her. The look on her face makes it obvious that she doesn't necessarily buy his sudden enthusiasm. ] I appreciate it.

Oh, looks like I got the wrong idea there. I was under the impression that he just solely ate humans, as creepy as that sounds. Maybe there's still a lot that I need to learn... [That, and how to get a better grasp on things.

...well now does he feel like an ass. This girl has been nothing, but nice to him so far, and he can tell by the expression on her face that she wasn't buying anything he said by this point. Ah, the joys of coming off on the wrong foot.] ...Sorry for not believing you. Listen, you seem like a sweet girl, so... [Agh, what would he even say? Somehow, he feels like an enemy now.]

I don't think I'd be able to get along with someone who went around snacking on my neighbors. [ No matter how charming he is. ]

It's alright. [ Lydia smiles a moment later. ] I'm used to that sort of thing, so don't worry about it.

You got that right. I think I would probably just...chuck something at him first, then run away. I'm not one to actually fight someone; I've never been in a fight before!

...You sure? You seemed pretty down about it earlier.

I think the closest I've come to being in a fight was biting someone's hand or slapping Edgar, so that makes two of us.

Like I said, I'm used to it so I was a little excited when you said you actually believed me. It's not your fault, don't worry!

Eh? You bit someone before? Well, that's definitely a step up from me. I really don't fancy fights, in the first place. I'm more of those observer types, you know? It helps me better understand what's going on.

[Way to bring someone's hopes up just to crush it, Sasayan.] Aw, really? Sorry for making you excited, then. I feel like I have to make it up to you, somehow...

During a third kidnapping attempt by the first kidnapper. [ HER LIFE IS COMPLICATED OKAY!! ] I'd rather not get involved in these things to begin with, but it's a little late for that. What do you do anyway?

[ good going ] Please, don't worry about it. That you believe me now is more than most.

I guess, whatever life throws your way, you have to deal with it in your own manner. ...me? I just go to school is all, I'm a first year in High School. Oh, I'm also a member of the baseball team, if that counts for something!

Hehe, well of course! You seem pretty nice in the first place, and it'd be nice to get to know you better!

You attend an actual school? I learned how to read and write from my father, but you must be wealthy to go to a school. I've never been to a baseball game, but I've heard a bit about it from my father. Is it fun?

You do too.

At least you're literate! But nowadays, even if you aren't stinking rich, you can still attend school no problem, no matter what your social status is. It's really amazing to meet all the people over here who become your friends in due time.

Aw man, baseball is awesome! It's really exhilarating to actually hit home-runs, or catch pop-flies, or even get a double play! ...but, I'm assuming you have no clue what I'm saying. [Way to get excited, Sasayan.]

Even women? [ Lydia sounds surprised at that, to be sure. She can read and write because her father is a professor, so he taught her, but most people, especially women, didn't have that opportunity if they weren't nobles. ]

I'm afraid I don't. [ She smiles though, since he seems really enthusiastic! ] I'd like to learn though.

Hehe, yeah, even girls! I have Mizutani-san and Natsume-san as my friends, you know, and Mizutani-san is at the top of our class! ...well, she used to be, but Yoshida always beats her out somehow...ah, I can't complain! I'm just saying that girls are really smart.

Hm... [He snaps his fingers.] Hey, if I can manage to get a worldhopper, or whatever it's called, maybe I can teach you how to play one day. It's really simple and fun!

I suppose that would be one of the good things Miss Beatrice was telling me that the future holds. [ As opposed to bikinis, which Lydia can't even comprehend the purpose of.. ]

I'd like that, though it'd have to be once thing settle down of course.

Hehe, yeah! It's really nice to see unity in the future, as opposed to the past, you know? Otherwise I wouldn't be where I am today! [He really couldn't see himself anywhere else, but right now.]

That's all fine with me, you know! Whenever you get things settled out where you are, we can figure something out. I look forward to it!

The future sounds wonderful sometimes. Frightening and appalling at others, of course, but there are many wonderful things as well.

So do I!

Yeah, there are some things in the future that...probably would be better off not being here in the first place.

Is there anything in particular you enjoy, besides the fairy thing?
