Once again, I face the enemy alone. I sighed. Do I start healing, or do I take the enemy down first? Can’t spend time thinking. Enemy first. I drew out my trusty scalpel.

“You think you stand a chance with that tiny thing?” The dark armored knight asked, incredulous.

“This is a scalpel. It’s far mightier then that giant slab of metal you carry on a wooden handle.” I grinned, shifting my weight to the balls of my feet after kicking off my boots and shucking off my gloves and white coat. I’d dump the dress I was wearing too, but I didn’t want to be naked. My scrubs had yet to be cleaned.

“Are you even serious right now? Do you not see the giant sword I’m holding here?”

“I do.” I shot forward, and the knight found himself on the ground. He tried to stand, but one leg refused to support him. He frowned at the cut on the back of his ankle. How could a tiny cut be this damaging? Wait. Did the woman even move? He had turned to block her, but he was already on the ground. Just who was this strange woman? “By the way, I nicked your Achilles tendon. Stay off that leg for a week or two, and you’ll be fine.”

The knight watched as I easily chucked my party members back into the wagon. No one was bleeding, but there were a number of bruises, and one possible broken toe. I turned back to the knight.

“Let me guess. Me too.” The knight struggled to stand, and found himself in the back of the wagon. “Wait! My horse!”

“Already tied to the back of the wagon, unless you want me to stuff him in there with you.”

No need!”

I climbed onto the wagon seat, took the reins, and set off at a steady trot. The motion would wake them up before long.

“Oww… Hey wait a minute! Why’s he in here with us?”

I turned my head. “His horse would be in there with you too, but he agreed to me tying it up to the wagon instead, Lance.”

Several more pained grunts reached our ears.

“Geez, lady! How mu-“

“DON’T YOU DARE CONTINUE THAT THOUGHT!” Iris snapped.

“Get off me then!”

“WHY IS THE BLACK KNIGHT IN HERE WITH US?”

“Hello? Being crushed by your-“

“WANNA DIE?”

“I’m going to if you don’t move!”

“Iris, get off of Steven already.” Lance sighed.

“I WOULD IF WILL WOULD STOP TAKING ALL THE SPACE!” Iris snapped.

“You take up more space then he does.” Steven muttered as he managed to squeeze up front by Lance.

“Ugh… Did we add a new member to the party?” Will sat up gingerly. “Wait, the Black Knight? I know we’re desperate for a new member, but the black knight?”

“Yes, I took him down. He’s injured too and will receive treatment at the inn.” I said.

“Are you a faller or leaper?” The black knight asked a bit later. “My name by the way is Leon.”

“I’m not sure. I didn’t fall or leap.” I answered.

“Isakai?”

“I opened the door leading to the OR and I was here. I wasn’t run over or hit by anything to my knowledge.” I answered.

The knight reached up and removed his helm, letting his long dark locks flow free. He shook his head.

“I’m a leaper.” He replied. “I’m a member of the Quantum Squad. My duty is to find those who have fallen or were Isakai’d and bring them home to their rightful place and time. It seems you leaped instead of fell. This is highly unusual.”

“Um, could you run this by us using simple language?” Lance asked.

“We’re not from around here.” Leon explained. “She got lost and it’s my duty to find and bring her back.”

Maybe if you go back to the pool and dive down to touch the bottom again, you might return.

Considering how complex a human central nervous system is compared to that of an insect, it would be difficult, but not entirely impossible for this to happen.

You could mention a strange dream you had about her eating herself in the bathroom to see how she reacts. You can mention how odd it was and you don’t know how your mind came up with something like that.

You could draw the sigil and show it to her saying since the dream, you’ve been seeing it everywhere since that dream.
