Shit. Shitshitshitshitshitshitshitshit. This whole situation was fucked. As he suddenly found himself in this "fantasy" world, Hiro was struck with the sudden realization that he was likely not under the effects of any manner of hallucinogen. That meant that he had previously been standing up to some real kind of shadow monster man. His heart started to palpitate. Oh no. What if that monster held some sort of grudge? That would be the worst possible outcome. What if he decided to pay Nobuhiro back for being disrespectful. Wait.

Wait. 

Did that mean that he had really been summoned here on the whims of some random woman he had never met. God. Damn. It.

His panic started to subside, and flashed into a white hot rage. His entire life. He had been working his entire life to make it to where he had been before he was kidnapped. And now what? It was all ruined. Gone. He would likely never get to go home, and everything that he had built his life toward was a moot point now. What point did he even have to live?

It was at this point however, that Hiro noticed that he was not alone in his transmigration. There were two women. Both were just a little shorter than him. One was probably Japanese in the other world like he was, and the other was from somewhere else. They both seemed to be trying to assert themselves in a position of authority. To be honest, Hiro didn't really feel like fighting them until he heard the words the Japanese girl speak. Oh. Oh no.

It all started to come flooding back. His dark years. Nobuhiro was hit with flashbacks of his first few years training to box. Calling out his special moves in the ring, and acting like he was some shounen hero facing off against villains. This was bad. She was still young. There was still a chance to save her from herself. Words wouldn't do any good. 

Instead, Nobuhiro swatted the otaku girl on the back of the head, cutting her words off.

[color=slategray]"Alright, let's not get carried away here. Stay grounded in reality. . . Well. . . as real as we can believe this situation to be. I agree with both of you, we need to find somewhere to go, but let's not get ahead of ourselves. Let's get somewhere that is. . . more safe than we are now and then assess the situation. Agreed?"[/color]

He honestly just assumed that they would agree and follow after, so Nobuhiro took off in what he thought to be the safest looking direction. He stepped out onto a main road and made his way north, toward what appeared to be away from the city walls, and toward the center. Where there were more people, he was less likely to be randomly attacked. Still, he kept a sharp eye out for any movement. His excellent visual acuity catching any sign of life within his field of sight. A few steps out, he glanced back at the two girls to see if they were following, but kept walking even if they weren't.
