-No One's P.O.V-

While walking back to Ricca's village, that's when a green slime monster appears in front of you two.

(Y/N): Is that a slime?

Ricca: You know about it?

(Y/N): Yeah, I read about books about monsters back in my home world.

Ricca: Huh, I see. Oh yeah, just have to let you know that there are monsters around in this world. So you have to protect yourself if you're gonna live.

(Y/N): I know that too.

Ricca: Eh? Well...I guess there's no need for me to explain it. You see, I once tried to pet it when I was a little kid and it got hostile, but thankfully, that merchant guy saved my life.

(Y/N): Huh, I see.

Ricca: However, I used this stick to beat the slimes and made my way through the mountain of herbs.

Ricca then shows a average sized small stick on her right hand.\

(Y/N): You took out slimes using a stick?

Ricca: Yeah, the merchant saved my life using this stick so I used this method to attack it. It's best if you stay back, I'll do it.

Ricca says in a assertive attitude, but I placed my hand on her shoulder.

(Y/N): Let me handle this.

Ricca: Huh? Y-You sure?

Ricca asks with a bit of worry.

(Y/N): Don't worry, I know how to deal with these things.

Ricca looks at you for a moment before lowering her weapon.

You then approached the slime as a green aura emits around you to which Ricca took notice.

(Y/N): Hierophant Green!

That's when something appeared from your back and it appeared to be an athletic humanoid with robotic features and light armor.

(Y/N): Take this! Emerald...Splash!!

You pointed as The Hierophant then generates water from his palms and twisting it to fire a series of crystallized projectiles known as emeralds. The projectiles directly hits towards the slime, dealing great damage as the slime itself was defeated and vanished out of existence.

(Y/N): Weak creature, but too easy to kill.

You said with a smirk on your face as you then turned back to Ricca who had a shock look on her face.

Ricca: W-W-What was that?!?!

(Y/N): Wait, you can see Hierophant Green?

Ricca: Yeah...!

Ricca says as she points at Hierophant Green at your back.

(Y/N): Well...I'll give you an explanation while walking back to your village.

You then began to explain how you got Hierophant Green while heading to Ricca's village.

-Mini Time Skip-

(Y/N): ...and that's how I got it.

Ricca: I...I see. So this "Stand" thing is a spiritual entity that mysteriously possessed you and it can protect you?

(Y/N): Yeah. It's quite strong, but if my Hierophant gets attacked, the attack itself reflects back to me which is troublesome.

Ricca: That sounds amazing, yet a little bizarre to hear.

(Y/N): Yeah.

Ricca: Oh, we're back at the village!

(Y/N): Hm?

You looked in front of you to see Ricca's village and it was quite exquisite.

(Y/N): (So that's Ricca's village huh?)

You thought to yourself until Ricca starts greeting the guard next to the gate.

Ricca: Donny, I'm back!

The guard named Donnie spoke back.

Donnie: Ah, welcome home, Ricca. And...

Donnie then turned to look at you.

Donnie: Oh? Who are you?

(Y/N): I'm (Y/N) (L/N), pleased to meet you, sir.

Donnie: I see. I'm Donnie, the Guardsman of this village.

You nodded in acknowledgment as Donnie looked up and down at your appearance.

Donnie: What strange clothes. Where are you from?

You and Ricca looked at each other for a moment before turning back.

(Y/N): Uh sorry...I...don't remember where I am from.

You said, coming up with a lie.

Donnie: You don't remember? Do you have amnesia or something?

(Y/N): You could put it that way. All I can remember is my name until Ricca found me lying in the mountain of herbs and woke me up.

Donnie: Is that true, Ricca?

Donnie asked in a stern tone.

Ricca: (Y/N)'s telling the truth, he really doesn't remember where is from.

Ricca says as she looks into Donnie's eyes so he would be convinced by the lie you came up with.

Donnie: I see. But why would you take him to this village?

Ricca: He's got no memory and he's homeless so I thought I could help him by staying with me and my sister's house.

Donnie looks at you for a moment before speaking back to Ricca.

Donnie: Very well. If anything's wrong, you can talk to me.

Ricca: W-We will! Come on, let's go.

Ricca says as she grabs your hand and drags you to a random building and you didn't look back because you feel the stare coming from Donnie.

(Y/N): Thanks for backing me up. If I told him the truth, he wouldn't believe me.

Ricca: Don't mention it. Anyway, I should go drop off these herbs in this store. Please wait for me outside, okay?

You nodded as Ricca enters the store as the door in front of you closes behind her.

You let out a sigh as you leaned your back on the wall next to the door. While waiting, you looked scanned around the village to see a bunch of villagers minding their own business until you hear...

???: Excuse me.

(Y/N): Huh?

You turned to your right and see an older woman wearing village clothing and was wearing a white cloth like a hat that was wrapped around her head.

(A/N: I don't know what you call it, my apologies.)

Woman: Hi there, young man.

(Y/N): Oh uh, greetings.

Woman: Are you new around in this village? I've never seen you around in these parts.

(Y/N): Yes, I'm quite new here. My name is (Y/N) (L/N). You?

General Store Lady: What a nice name. I'm the general store lady of this place and my husband works here too. Where are you from?

(Y/N): My apologies. I've lost my memories, and I can't remember where I am from. All I can remember is my own name until I was woken up by a girl named Ricca.

You said with a half-truth in your words.

General Store Lady: Oh dear, that is quite terrible for someone who's young.

(Y/N): I know.

General Store Lady: Do you have a place to stay?

(Y/N): Not really, I'm homeless. However, Ricca offered me a place to stay which is at her house with her older sister named Miria.

General Store Lady: That's quite nice of her. Why are you out here?

(Y/N): Oh, I'm waiting for Ricca to finish dropping off the herbs that she collected.

General Store Lady: Ah I see. Oh well, I must go inside, you want to come in?

(Y/N): No thanks. Ricca told me to wait here.

General Store Lady: Very well. Stay safe, young man.

You nodded in confirmation as the woman went inside the store as you keep waiting for a short while until you hear the door and see Ricca come out.

(Y/N): Is it done?

Ricca: Yeah. Plus, look what I got.

Ricca then shows you a necklace with a jewel that is a shape of a heart.

(Y/N): Huh, looks nice. Are you gonna give it to your sis?

Ricca: Yeah, the store manager gave it to me for free!

Ricca says with a smile on her face as you take a good look at the jewelry.

(Y/N): (Odd...why do I sense strange energy coming from that jewelry?)

You thought to yourself until Ricca spoke up.

Ricca: Anyway, let's head back to my house so we can have a bit of talk with my big sis.

(Y/N): Yeah, sure.

And just like that, both you and Ricca headed to her house.

...

Ricca: I'm home!

Ricca greeted as the figure turned around and you could tell that it was Ricca's older sister, Miria.

Miria: Ah, welcome back, Ricca.

Miria greets back until she sees you next to her.

Miria: Who is this young man?

Ricca: Oh, this is (Y/N) (L/N).

Ricca says, introducing you.

(Y/N): Greetings. I hope I'm not intruding, miss.

Miria: Oh no, it's okay. You're welcome here. Are you new here by any chance?

(Y/N): I guess you could put it that way.

The two sisters talked for a bit until Ricca pulls out the necklace that she got from the store which surprised Miria.

During their conversation, Ricca asked Miria to know the name of the gem that she had just bought, but Miria tells Ricca will have to get older to know what it is. This raises your eyebrow in the conversation until Miria turns to you and spoke up.

Miria: Ah, I almost completely forgot about you. Would you like some dinner for a bit? My apologies if this seems out of the blue.

(Y/N): No need to apologize, I'll take the offer. And I'm probably sure you've got some questions about me.

Miria: You read my mind. I'll go get dinner ready.

Miria says as she went off to get dinner ready while you and Ricca waited for a while.

-Mini Time Skip-

A couple of minutes later, Miria eventually finished cooking dinner as she places the food and the plates on the table.

Ricca: Thanks for the food. Dinner was extra tasty today since I worked so hard.

Miria: Hehe, I'm glad to hear it. It makes cooking worthwhile. Now then...

Miria then turns to you and spoke up.

Miria: Since you are new here, where do you originally come from, (Y/N)?

Miria asks as you and Ricca glanced at each other before you spoke up.

(Y/N): Well...I know this may seem sound unbelievable, but I come from the future in the year 2022 known as the 21st Century.

Miria: Wait...excuse me?

(Y/N): You heard me. I came from the 21st century into the future, very far ahead of this era's timeline.

Miria couldn't believe what she was hearing as she tries to process what you had just said.

Miria: Ricca...is he telling the truth?

Ricca: He's telling the truth, Miria. Take a look at his clothes, do they seem like any villagers would wear something like that?

Ricca says as Miria takes a look at your clothes up and down. The clothes you were wearing were a black jacket, casual men's jeans, and a pair of sneakers.

Miria: No... I've never seen anyone wearing these types of clothes in my life.

(Y/N): That's right. These clothes of mine are just your ordinary clothes to wear, but they prove that I came from the 21st century. If you have already read history books before. I am not making this up, it's the truth.

You said with a serious face as Miria processed for a bit until she spoke up.

Miria: If you are telling the truth, you must tell me everything about what the 21st century looks like.

(Y/N): Very well. I've already explained this Ricca from the beginning so it's quite hard to explain this, but things have evolved in the future, there are advanced things such as technology, new transport vehicles, televisions, culture and beliefs, the internet, and such. However, I don't belong to this era's timeline and the 21st century is very far ahead of this era for over hundreds of years in time.

Miria was quite speechless about what they had just heard from you until she spoke up.

Miria: Is that how you describe the 21st century?

(Y/N): Definitely. The era that I'm living in the 21st century is a time of freedom and technological advancement.

Miria: So...does this mean that you're a time traveler?

(Y/N): No, I didn't use a time machine or anything. I just mysteriously traveled back in time without knowing when I was sleeping in my parent's house after my classes from school were finished.

Miria: Then...what are you going to do now?

You looked down and paused for a moment before speaking up.

(Y/N): Well...since I arrived in your era, I really can't get back to my own era, which really sucks because the advanced technology of this world hasn't been invented yet. I'm homeless, but Ricca offered me a place to stay which is your house. Ricca told me that you're a kind person, so I was hoping to get your approval that I would stay here since you're much older than her.

Ricca and Miria looked at each other for a moment until Miria spoke up.

Miria: Hold on, Ricca and I need to talk for a minute in private so we can discuss whether or not you are staying.

(Y/N): It's okay. Take your time.

And just like that, both Ricca and Miria went into the bedroom and discussed privately, leaving you sitting at the dining table.

-Mini Time Skip-

A few minutes passed as you hear the bedroom door open, you turn back to see Miria and Ricca leaving the bedroom.

(Y/N): So...?

Miria: I understand the situation you are in now, (Y/N). You get to stay in our house, but you must work hard to earn a living, okay?

(Y/N): Thank you, I'll work my hardest to live in this world's era.

You said with a grateful smile on your face as the sisters were smiling at you.

Ricca: I'm glad we sorted things out for a bit don't you think, Miria?

Miria: Yeah, I'm sure the three of us will get along just fine.

You nodded in confirmation until you spoke up.

(Y/N): So uh...where do I get to sleep?

Ricca: Oh...yeah...

Miria: We don't have an extra bed, but I'm afraid that you'll have to share one of our beds.

Miria says with an awkward blush.

(Y/N): Oh....ehehe...guess I'll have to live with that...

You said with a nervous smile.
