<h4>Volume 1, Chapter 1: Where am I?</h4>


    I, Risa Kurokawa ude or Kurokawa Risa, came to this world around two years ago.


    I was born and raised in an average country town to an average family. I graduated from an average vocational school and went to Tokyo for work. I was epted to a medium-small business as an office worker. I worked at thepany for two years, and the day after I turned twenty-two…


    I came to another world without any preamble.


    ---------------------------------------------------------------


    …Ow, my body kind of hurts.


    I woke up from feeling a dull pain on my right side. Even though I went to bed to sleep, I wondered why the bed felt so incredibly hard as Iid on my right.


    Despite my room not having a single decorative nt, not even a flower, I could smell greenery as well. When I pried open my heavy eyelids, I found myself in a forest. I was sprawled on the forest floor. Instead of the usual bustle of the city, I heard the light rustling of leaves in the wind.


    “…where, am I?”


    I tried muttering the stereotypical line.


    Of course, no one answered.


    For now, I decided to check my bearings. I got up and looked around. I was wearing the loungewear I went to bed in. Although I didn’t have any belongings, I was wearing indoor slippers and not bare foot, thankfully.


    I had no idea where I was. There were no signs of people or animals.


    That was all. Now, what should I do?


    Since I didn’t have anything, I needed to secure the absolute necessities—water, food, and safety. For now, where I was and why I was there was the least of my worries.


    Humans are surprisingly calm when they are in a predicament.


    Anyways, after concluding I wouldn’t get anywhere in the forest, I decided to aim for a vige. Brushing the dirt off of my clothes, I began walking in a direction that looked like north.


    …is how I began walking, but I would not reach a road close to humans until two dayster. I would lose consciousness there, be picked up by a passing couple, and wake up the next day.


    I had no way of knowing that as I optimistically walked at a steady pace.
