I Got Isekai’d, Well Shyt!

The night goes by fast and before Rya knows it, the sun is shining through the window. Rya wakes up feeling refreshed.

She looks around and notices that there is a knock at her door. ”Who is it?” Rya asks.

”It’s me Alpha! Open up!” A familiar voice yells.

Rya opened the door and saw Dalia standing there with her tail wagging.

”What are you doing here? You’re supposed to be mating with Percy?” Rya asked, surprised.

”Oh little wolf is sleeping right now. After are nightly exercise. B-But he was asking me about going to the festival and I didn’t know what to tell him. So I came to you instead.” Dalia explains.

”Oh, why are you nervous? You’ve already mated with him. There’s nothing to worry about.” Rya says reassuringly.

”Hey, but this will be are first date! And I want it to go well! I’m worried if I don’t act confident, I might mess things up.” Dalia says nervously.

”Wow, you really love him don’t you?” Rya says with a big smile.

”I-I guess I do. A-And I think I want to have his pups?” Dalia states shyly.

”You mean you want to ’mate’ mate with him?” Rya asks, surprised.

”I don’t know! Maybe down the road but I don’t want to lose him,” Dalia confessed.

”I don’t think he’s leaving you Dalia. He’s head over heels for you. He wouldn’t leave you because of that. Now come on, let’s find the dining room and get something to eat.” Rya said.

Dalia nods and follows Rya to the dining room. They start eating the food and talking about the festival. Eventually, Quinus and Percy join up with them.

”There you two are. Come on, let’s check out the festival. It should be fun.” Quinus says.

They all walk together towards the celebration. As they move along, they notice that everyone seems excited. Everyone is wearing fancy clothing and some even wear masks of the Goddess.

Rya notices that the people are acting like they are having a good time. They stop to watch a few performers. Each one performs in different ways.

One lady is playing a flute while another woman plays a violin. Then a man dressed as the Goddess sings a song about her. Next a group of dancers dance to the music of the musicians.

After each performance, the crowd applauded and cheered. The excitement builds up and soon everyone is cheering and clapping.

As they continue moving along, the crowd gets thicker and the excitement starts to mount. Rya notices that everyone is starting to get really happy.

Then a loud cheer went through the crowd. The band stops playing and everyone turns around.

A stage is set up in front of them. Two men stand on the stage waiting. One was a large human while the other was Baron Zellin.

”Huh? Is that the Baron? Looks like he wants to get the party started.” Rya whispers to herself.

”My people of Ironside! We have gotten good news about the Prince! He and his comrades were able to stop the goblin horde that attacked our city! This proves that my people can never doubt the power of the Lord of Fiafyr as the goddess looks after him!” A large man shouts loudly.

All the people in the crowd cheer and shout.

”But we must not celebrate yet! For we must honor the fallen that sadly couldn’t make it to this day. Their sacrifice will not be forgotten. Please bow your heads and pray for the souls of those that fight for us today!” The big man shouts again.

People in the crowd start to bow their heads for a moment of silence.

”...”

”...”

”Thank you! For today we will feast, drink, and have fun! That is what the goddess wants us to do! So let’s celebrate!” The large man yells.

Everyone cheers and claps.

”Alright, boys! Let’s give these people something to remember!” The large man yells.

He reaches into a bag and pulls out a drum. He then takes the drumstick from his mouth and beats the drum. The sound waves hit everyone’s ears and it makes them jump.

”For the Lord of Fiafyr!” He screams.

All the people yell and cheer louder.

”Now for the best part! Our dancers!” He adds.

Two girls come onto the stage. They both wear revealing outfits holding golden orbs. They walk slowly on the wooden platform as all eyes watch them.

”Come, ladies!” The large man says.

The two girls look at each other and nod. They begin to move their hips as they start dancing. Rya watches the two women in awe.

”How do they not fall over? If I tried to move like that I would blow out my back or something worse,” Rya says with a pained expression written over her face.

”I don’t know. They’re pretty good though. You should join them when you feel like it,” Quinus replies.

They continue watching the two women dance with their surreal hypnotic movement to the beat of the drum as time passes. 

”Nah, I’m good. I would mostly make a fool of myself if I went up there,” Rya says.

Quinus looks at Rya and shrugs.

”Hey, Alpha! Do you want to play a game?” Dalia asked.

”What kind of game is it?” Rya asks.

”It’s the Hex Horn Ring Toss! You can win a prize! You’re an elf so you should be able to do it right?” Dalia said.

”Where is it at?” Rya asks.

”It’s by the alley! There’s a bunch of people there and some weird creature called a Hex horned goat! They’ll explain everything once you go down there. What do you think? You should come with me!”

She grabs Rya by the arm and drags her to the alley.

”Hey! Is this a joke to you?” Rya demands.

”Of course it isn’t! Just trust me! I’ve always wanted to win at this game and never have. That ends today Alpha!” She says.

***

Percy and Quinus just stare at each other.

”Percy, your future wife can get a little crazy sometimes.” Quinus says.

”Yeah, that’s what makes her special!” Percy says.

”Well should we follow them?”Quinus asks.

”Let’s see what happens!” Percy says.

Rya and Dalia are walking down the streets of the city until they come to the game stall.

”So what’s going on here?” Rya asks.

”Alpha, you see the stall where the game is? The Hex Horned Goat thing is behind that,” Dalia says.

”Really? That’s the game? Tossing One Inch rings onto the goat’s horns?” Rya asks.

”Yes, but don’t worry about it. It’s basically a game of chance. You get a prize if you can get three rings on their horns. Don’t worry, I’ve been playing it for years when I was a child and almost got the rings on them before I ran out of silver. But with you here with me I know we can figure it out,” Dalia answers.

”You never won? You think there’s a magic trick to it?,” Rya says.

”Yeah there is like a force field or something that changes the course of the ring before it hits the horn. I always think I have it until the last sec! It’s frustrating!” Dalia says.

”Dalia, I think it’s a scam? Like, they’re just trying to make money off us,” Rya says.

”What!? No! There has to be a trick to it, Alpha!” Dalia says.

”Yeah, maybe. I don’t know though. This thing screams to me like your not supposed to win,” Rya says as she looks at the game

”If you don’t want to play, fine! But I’m gonna try anyway!” Dalia demands.

”Okay, okay. I’ll watch and see if I notice anything!” Rya says.

Dalia throws a silver coin on the reception desk as the woman working the booth smiles.

”A small donation to the Goddess. Please give me three coins for six chances at glory,” the lady says.

”Here you go!” Dalia says.

”Good luck, and may the goddess aid you with victory!” the lady says.

”Thank you!” Dalia says as she took the 6 brass rings while sizing up the Hex Horned Goat that is about ten meters away.

Rya was looking to see if she could notice any mana around the game.

”HAH!” Dalia said as she launched the first ring at one of the horns.

Rya and Quinus both look at the horn where the ring was about to hit before the ring comes off the goat’s horn.

”Oh that was a close one. Maybe the Goddess blinked before it landed? Hopefully she helps you for the next go.” said the lady working at the stall.

’Yeah. I didn’t see mana being used here the change the flight of the ring. Maybe they’re using something else?’ Rya thought.

Dalia was watching the horn as she was determined to get one of these damn rings on the Hex Horn.

”I’m going to guess this is the trick! The ring is moving faster than it should so it’s causing the horn to spin faster than expected?” Percy said to Dalia.

Rya was a bit concerned because she noticed there wasn’t any mana around the game.

”Hmph! You two were saying this was a scam?” Dalia asked while tossing the next ring with such skill and accuracy that it actually was about to land dead center until the last second again.

’It looks like the ring is going against a magnetic field right before it comes into contact with the horn? Like two positive ends coming in contact with each other?’ Rya thought while looking at the one inch rings in Dalia’s hand

”No, I think there’s a trick to it! I’m going to find out what it is! And I’ll finally win this stupid game!” Dalia said.

”Hey! Dalia, can I see those rings? I wanna see if they have any mana on them?” Rya asks.

”Sure!” Dalia says while handing the ring to Rya.

Rya holds the ring in her hand and she notices the they are magnetized.

’Huh? Can I sense the magnetic field because I’m a mage? I wonder if I can get rid of the effect from the rings.’ Rya thought while she used her mana to remove the magnetic field from the last four rings.

”Here Dalia give it a try now.” Rya said as she handed the ring over to Dalia.

Dalia was confused. She thought Alpha was going to toss the ring towards the horn. Instead she just looked at the rings and gave them back.

”Okay? What happened?” Dalia asked.

”Oh, nothing really. I just wanted look closer at them before you tossed the next ring.” Rya said with a smile.

Dalia turned back towards the Hex Horned Goat once more. Focusing on getting a ring on its horn for the first time in her life.

”Don’t worry. It will be easy for you now. Just focus on your target and everything else will fall into place.” Percy said with a smile.

”Shh! I’m trying to concentrate!” Dalia whispered.

She steadied her breathing while she held the ring in her hand waiting for the moment to toss it in.

Then she lets it fly towards the horn.

Dalia was surprised when the ring fell right in the middle of the middle right horn.

The lady working the stall was stunned.

”About time! Hehe.” Dalia said as she lined up another shot at the Hex Horned Goat.

”What did you do to the rings?” Quin whispered into Rya’s ear.

”Well I’m not sure you would know this but I believe the rings are being magnetically manipulated,” Rya said with a smile.

”Magnets, huh... That’s sneaky of them.” Quin said with a small chuckle.

’Quin knows about magnets? I thought there was no science on Tertius? Or is he just making a joke?’ Rya thought.

”What’s with the surprised look?” Quin asked.

”I didn’t realize that you knew about magnets,” Rya said with a smirk.

”You wouldn’t believe me if I told you I learned all about them in school.” Quin said with a chuckle.

”Seriously? You mean there is actually science here in Tertius. I guess I shouldn’t be so shocked. After all, this world is full of magical creatures.” Rya said as she turned back to watch Dalia get another ring on the Hex Horned Goat.

”Yeah, I’m very lucky I was born in this world.” Quin said with a smile.

’What’s up with him? I’ve never seen him like this before.’ Rya thought.

She couldn’t help but notice how close he was to her. It made her feel warm inside.

He gave her a hug from behind her.

”Thank you for saving me.” Quin said with a smile.

”N-No problem... I was just doing what needed to be done...” Rya said nervously.

All of a sudden Dalia yells out in celebration as she won the next game.

”That was amazing!” Dalia said excitedly as Percy was there by her side.

”W-We have a-a winner!?” The lady working the booth said in disbelief while reluctantly handing over the cash prize.

”Yes we do!” Dalia said happily as she took the money.

”I’m impressed. I’ve never seen anyone ever win this game.” Percy said as he looked at the money in Dalia’s hand.

”Haha! That’s because your wolf is all skill. You need to put your brain into it too.” Dalia said as she scratched Percy on the head.

”Ah... Yeah, I guess you’re right...” Percy said nervously.

Rya heard the lady working the stall mumbles under her breath while grabbing the rings off the goat.

”H-How did that mutt win? It should be impossible to win! The magic on the rings must have worn off?” The woman said under her breath.

’So it was rigid. I thought it was just my imagination. I wonder how many people they have scammed out of there money?’ Rya thought as she giggled to herself.

It was at the moment Sir George walked up to Quinus.

”Sir George? Don’t tell me they need to talk to me again?” Quin asked with a sigh.

”Aye. The Baron wanted to talk about a new trade route my Lord.” Sir George said with a nod.

”Haah! What do you three want to do?” Quin asked Rya, Dalia and Percy what they wanted to do.

”Well, I wanted to go on one of those dates that my little wolf always talks about?” Dalia said while she looked at Percy.

”Y-Yes! I would love to go on a date with you Lady Dalia!” Percy said eagerly.

”I wouldn’t mind checking out more of the festival. See what else there is to see in Ironside.” Rya said while she smiled.

”Okay but no drinking Ale without one of us here with you. We don’t want you getting lost while drunk.” Quin said sternly.

”Quin, I promise not to get drunk...” Rya said with a blush.

”Alright then... You all have fun. I got work do. Sadly.” Quin said with a sad look.

”We’ll have to make up for it once you’re free.” Rya said with a wink.

”Let’s go Dalia!” Percy said as he grabbed her hand.

”Hold on! Hey Alpha, do you want to join us?” Dalia asked nervously.

”No, you two have your fun. I don’t want to be the third wheel.” Rya said.

”O-Okay then! Bye!” Dalia said as she ran off with Percy holding her hand.

”Ha. Those two are ridiculous.” Sir George said with a chuckle.

”Yeah, Percy is going to be a parent at the rate those two are going at it.” Quin jokes.

”Oh shut up! Percy can’t be a parent! Not before me!” George snapped but then realized he told his lord to shut up.

”How brave of you Sir George. Telling your Lord to shut up.” Quinus said while looking at the knight in panic.

”M-My L-Lord! I-I didn’t mean-” Sir George stammered.

”Enough George. Let’s get this trade route thing sorted out so I can be done with it.” Quin said with a sigh.

”Yes, Sir.” Sir George said and turned away from Quinus.

”Rya. Be safe and have fun.” Quin said as he walked away.

This was the first time Rya has been on her own.

’Okay! Time for me to prove that I’m still a man on the inside! Where’s the brothel that? Oh I know!’ Rya thought excitedly as she weaved through the streets of Ironside to find the brothel she saw earlier yesterday.
