Chapter 3:

Strange new world

Shotaro: journey of a hero that kept moving forward


"So what was it back then?" Madona said as they made their way to her village, "Back home at Gaia."
"Well," Shotaro Mugyiwara said as he smirked, "I suppose the females didn't have pointy ears like you back then, other than that...it's blurry."
"That's TTA; most children of Gaia have that when they arrive here," Madona replied, "and elves have pointy ears for a reason, you know. They are sensitive radars, like a cat's whiskers, that help us detect stuff by sensing disturbance in airflow." She said, pouting.
"I guess Darwin was right," Shotaro muttered until his expression jolted. "Wait, WTF is a TTA?"
"Temporary transportation amnesia"
"& who the fuck is Darwin?" she added.
"Temporary...what?" Shotaro Mugyiwara said as he began to draw those lines, "So the fuckity figity in space-time that brought me here from Earth is also the reason my memories seem dull. It's temporary, you say?" he said.
"Damn, you're not as dumb as my kind think men are?" She said in a kind of impressed tone.
"That's racist." The crimson-eyed man complained.
"You're racist," she said for some reason.
"Was that an Assassin's Creed reference or something?" Shotaro answered.
"TF is an Assassin's Creed?"shee asked.
"Don't bother yourself with it." Shotaro answered as he looked down on his naked body & asked, "You oddly don't seem uncomfortable walking around with a naked man of my size."
"Only the high-class nobles have the luxury of personal baths in the elvish kingdom," she answered. "We village folks bathe together in the lake right after the sun sets, minus the village chief."
"All of you?" Shotaro questioned, raising an eyebrow.
"All of us—woman, children, men" She saidteasingly,y "I suppose it's a foreign concept back in Gaia."
"I guess it's not really practiced daily back in Earth," Shotaro admits, "But it's weird, you know, bathing amongst naked men, their eyes roaming on your breasts." He said as suddenly the elven ranger stopped in her tracks.
"That's not something I wanna talk about." She said in a sad voice, "Even if I wanted them to, they would just not lay eyes on me." She added, "Not since I became a ranger against my father's wishes."
She put her hand on her chest. "My body became more unladylike day by day."
"I mean, for a duty where you have to exercise your body day after day, it's only natural you would go muscular, and some men would consider that unladylike, but the place I am from, many weirdos find that arousing," Shotaro confessed.
"Really?" she said in a surprised tone. "You're saying I can still find a groom for myself back in Gaia despite my manly appearance?"
"Groom," Shotaro whispered, "Yeah, most likely, & you still got amazing thighs," he muttered.
"Well, you can say being the daughter of the chief, I am well-fed," she said mischievously.
"I mean, yeah, you're getting fatter," Shotaro said with unfiltered sarcasm.
"Hey," she said in a mad voice as she immediately shot him with his arrow, which he dodged by tilting his head.
"Hey, what the fuck is wrong with you?" Shotaro Mugyiwara said as he got it. "What if I wasn't able to dodge it?"
"I shot you knowing that you could dodge that," She said in a matter-of-fact tone, "You may not remember your past, but I can assure you that you aren't a normal lad, Mugyiwara Shotaro."
But her sass was met with a fist bigger than her head smashing into her face, as she was flown a yard into the air.
"Hey, what was that for?" she said, rubbing her bloody nose as tears came out of her eyes in pain.
"That was trying to shoot me, stupid elf," Shotaro said with an annoyed huff.
"How can you even hurt me? elves have hardened skin & blood vessels." She said, puzzled, before looking at a goofy-ass stone & said,.
"This stone marks the territory of my village," she said in a happy voice.
The duo entered the village, greeted by the sight of other elves: fair skin, blonde hair, sharp pointy ears, and no taller than 5'5.
"They all look the same," Shotaro said.
"Well, uhh...they are all elves," she said in a matter-of-factly voice.
"Well, all humans don't look the same," she argued.
"IDK, maybe we all just happened to share the same features," she said.
"Don't tell me you all are inbred or have the same ancestors," Shotaro muttered in annoyance.
"After the second elf civil war, the race was nearly extinct. Bardwin II, son of Bardwin I, rode with his 18 sister-brides, all 19 siblings being identical twins, and bred the race back into existence," she said casually, as if it were some nursery rhyme.
"Excuse me, WHAT THE FUCK!!!!" Shotaro said in shock & disgust.
"I just told you why all elves have the same features," she answered, puzzled at his disgust.
"How the fuck did that even work? , how the fuck someone had 19 twins at once, & how the fuck was one fetus male if they all were identical twins."
"IDK, some gods involved type shit," she said, raising her hands in surrender.
"All I know is that it happened & it happened 40,000 years ago."
"Well, that makes sense; elves live longer, and 40,000 is a bit less for your kind to awaken some mutation to produce distinct features," Shotaro said, rubbing his hair.
"But damn, that mofo fucked his own twin sisters, all 18 of them," he said in disgust as Madonna stopped & looked in one direction.
Shotaro Mugyiwara looked at the direction & saw an elderly elf man, tall for an elf but not as tall as he was; he had a serious look.
Madona stood in fear & caution & said,.


"Father....?"
