Encounter
This is the story of a lost girl who accidentally meets a mafia man and is taken away.
The names of the two characters have been decided, but they will appear from episode 2 onwards. A simple setting for them will also be provided at that time.
There is no violence or abusive language, but it does contain non-consensual elements such as kidnapping and confinement, so please be careful if this is uncomfortable for you.
How did this happen? It was supposed to be a fun trip.
I was standing alone on the side of a busy road, at a loss as to what to do. I had just lost sight of my parents, who had been with me.
I think I was excited because it was my first trip abroad. I was careful not to get separated from the crowds, but I stopped for just a moment, captivated by the glittering shop windows lining the fashionable town. In that split second, I lost sight of my parents.
“Mom, Dad, where are you…?”
Even if I muttered that, there was no way the two of them would reply.
I wonder why I forgot my cell phone at the hotel today. I have my passport, but I can’t contact anyone with it.
…What if I never see my mom and dad again? What if I can’t go back to Japan?
Once you start thinking bad thoughts, they’re hard to stop.
Just as my head was filling with anxiety and tears were beginning to well up in my eyes, I noticed a tall adult standing in front of me.
“father……!?”
I looked up with anticipation, but the person I was looking at was not my father. The man with striking blonde hair and blue eyes looked like he was from a foreign country.
He was dressed in a sharp black suit, but his clear, handsome features made him look like a prince from a storybook. Seeing him like that made my heart skip a beat, but I quickly hid my face in embarrassment for having mistaken him for my father.
“Ah… I must have mistaken you for someone else, I’m sorry…”
He mutters an apology and bows his head. I don’t know if he understands Japanese, but he probably has business at a nearby store, so he’ll probably leave soon.
“〜〜〜〜,〜〜〜〜!”
“Huh…?”
That’s what I was thinking, but when I looked up, it was clear that the man was speaking to me. I was so surprised that I couldn’t say anything back, and he continued to plead with me.
“〜〜〜,〜〜〜〜?〜〜〜〜〜!”
“Um, sorry, I don’t know…um, sorry…?”
Maybe because he spoke so fast, I couldn’t understand anything he was saying. In fact, all I could hear were words I had never heard before. The man might not even be speaking English.
Hoping to at least convey an apology, she tries speaking the few English words she knows, but the shocked look on the man’s face makes her even more anxious.
It seems like you understand English… but why are you making that face?
“……?”
“Eh… Huh…? Well, is that okay…?”
He looked so sad that I couldn’t bear it any longer, so I just said it.
“…! ~~!?”
The man’s face suddenly lit up and he seemed to be asking me something with a look of joy. I was surprised by his enthusiasm, but I continued to try to communicate with him.
“Um, okay, okay, um, yes…?”
When I nodded timidly, the person smiled happily. I felt relieved, thinking that I hadn’t gotten the answer wrong.
However, I knew I wouldn’t know how to respond if the man continued to talk to me, so I gave him a bow and started walking off to another place.
However, just as I took a step forward, someone grabbed my arm from behind with great force. I turned around in surprise and saw the man from before talking to me with a worried look on his face.
“Eh, what…?”
“〜〜〜〜、〜〜〜”
“Well, I have to meet my mom and dad, um… mom, dad…”
The man tilted his head at first, but then finally seemed to understand, and nodded with a smile, as if to tell me there was nothing to worry about.
…Maybe he knows I’m lost and is trying to help me look for him?
If that was the case, I was honestly very grateful. In Japan, if I got lost I could just go to the police box, but in this country I didn’t even know where to go for help. I thought that relying on this person might be the safest thing I could do.
“Um, thank you…! Thank you!”
When I thanked him, the man smiled again, shook my hand tightly, and walked off somewhere.
I felt a little embarrassed, like I was being treated like a little child, but the reality is that I am lost at the moment, so I have no choice but to put up with it.
Also, other people would just pass by me when they saw me, so I thought this person must be a kind person to take the time to stop and look after me.
My heart, which had been filled with anxiety and tension since being away from my parents, felt a little relaxed. When I met the two of them, I’d have to introduce them to him properly and thank him again.
The man led me down the street, and after a while he stopped in front of a black car and pointed to it.
“Oh, a car?”
It’s a big, shiny, and very expensive looking car, and it seems to belong to him. Should we get in and look for it?
I’m sure he was being kind, but I found it hard to imagine that my parents lived so far away that we would have to travel by car.
“W-wait a minute! Stop!”
I gently put my arm around my shoulders, stopped the man who was about to open the door and lead me to the seat. I thought I might be able to get him to understand the situation, so I tried to persuade him in front of the car.
“I don’t think we’ve gone very far yet… well, not too far, I guess? So we don’t need to get in the car.”
The man stared at me as I frantically tried to speak, using gestures and body language, then seemed to think deeply about something. Just like that, silence continued for a while.
“Um…? Huh──”
As the man remained silent for a long time, I became increasingly worried and was about to call out to him.
Suddenly, I felt someone pull me tightly, and then a cloth was placed over my mouth. I couldn’t comprehend the situation and panicked, when I smelled something sweet coming from the cloth that was placed over my mouth.
“!? Hmm, mm, mmm…!”
Having a bad feeling, she desperately tries to get away, but the man is holding her face with such force that she can’t move freely.
“〜〜〜……〜〜〜〜”
“Mughh, hmm… uh…”
My head gradually became fuzzy, my whole body lost strength, and soon it became difficult for me to even stand.
The man picked me up as I was about to collapse and got into the car. He kept muttering something in my ear, but I lost consciousness before I could hear it all.
