The Puppeteer of the DanMachi World

The Puppeteer of the DanMachi World. Author: Ai de Maziji.

The Zeus Familia and the Hera Familia were wiped out fifteen years before the start of the main story while attempting to subjugate the King of the Skies, the One-Eyed Black Dragon—from that moment on, the hope of the lower world was extinguished.

So, does this mean I transmigrated too early?

Ming Ge gazed at the white-haired beauty who had picked him up, unable to help but fall into deep thought.

Grumble...

Why is it that as a transmigrator, I don't have a cheat?

In the night of this otherworldly realm, the black-haired youth walked along the street, helplessly observing his surroundings.

The ordinary houses were primarily Greek-style, there was a Gothic cathedral ahead, and in the center of his vision stood a massive tower that reached toward the heavens; its prototype was likely Babel Tower.

Beyond that, there were some strange and peculiar buildings, much like a hodgepodge of mythology.

His name was Ming Ge, a transmigrator from Earth, who had arrived in this unknown world in the blink of an eye.

The idea that one could build a harem and reach the pinnacle of life just by arriving in another world was complete nonsense. He couldn't even pass the most basic hurdle: the language.

He was a loser on Earth, and the notion that he could become a superior being just by coming to another world was impossible no matter how he looked at it.

Although he wasn't a total failure, he wasn't the type to be born with innate knowledge, nor did he have cheats or resources. With such an abrupt transmigration, even surviving was a difficult task.

That aside, the problem was that he didn't understand the language of this world.

After trying to communicate several times without being able to obtain food or shelter, and being chased away by impatient shopkeepers, Ming Ge had no choice but to wander the streets.

I'll try one last time. I hope the priest at the church has some compassion; otherwise, I'll have to spend a night of hunger and cold in the streets...

Damn it, when have I ever suffered like this?

Ming Ge complained, looking toward the dimly lit church ahead as he walked over.

He knocked on the door, and with a creak, the church gates opened.

To his surprise, the person in the church wasn't a priest, but a beautiful white-haired girl wearing a black Lolita dress.

Except for the fact that her eyes were blue instead of red, which was a slight pity, she was practically the ideal type for a Chinese otaku.

"Um... are you alright?"

A gentle female voice brought Ming Ge back to his senses. The gentle, white-haired girl was looking at him with worried eyes.

"Uh, hello."

As Ming Ge spoke, he rubbed his stomach. After it let out a grumbling sound, he pressed his palms together against the left side of his cheek, made a 'sleeping' gesture, and finally followed up with a 'please' gesture.

"You don't understand the common tongue of the continent?"

The girl blinked, and without even hesitating, she reached out and gestured an invitation, asking, "Would you like to come in?"

"Thank you."

Ming Ge looked at the girl in surprise, then walked inside at her invitation.

"Being hungry is very uncomfortable. Have something to eat."

Meitellia spoke in a soft, gentle voice, then handed him a piece of bread.

It looked soft enough, not like a French baguette that could kill someone.

He looked at Meitellia. Her cheeks were flawless, her clothes were clean and bright, and her palms were smooth and delicate; she was clearly a young lady of high status.

She shouldn't be the type to give away her own dinner, only to end up with nothing to eat herself...

Grumble~

Just as he thought this, a similar sound came from Meitellia's stomach.

"Ugh."

Meitellia revealed a shy expression, looking incredibly alluring.

This caused his eyes to flicker slightly. He looked at his own hands and took a handkerchief out of his pocket.

He gently divided the bread in two, then handed the bread wrapped in the handkerchief to Meitellia.

"Would you like to eat together?"

Meitellia asked, but she took the bread with a smile, saying, "Thank you. Actually, it would have been fine to just use my hands."

Is this what they call a cherry-red mouth?

It was his first time seeing this kind of 'young lady.' Someone with such temperament and pure eyes had almost gone extinct on Earth.

He finished half the bread in a few bites. Although it only left him half-full, it allowed Ming Ge to breathe a sigh of relief.

The feeling of being hungry was too miserable. It wasn't his first time experiencing it, but it always felt terrible.

As the girl handed him a glass of water, Ming Ge thanked her once again.

"My name is Meitellia, and I am a member of the Hera Familia."

The beautiful girl with white hair revealed a gentle smile, pointed to herself, and repeated, "Meitellia."

"Mei...tellia?"

Following the girl's voice, Ming Ge seemed to understand something.

A self-introduction?

"That's right, it's Meitellia, so make sure you remember it."

Meitellia showed a happy expression.

"My name is Ming Ge."
