Chapter 7 - Chapter 7: First Comrade – Grandma Joins the Team

Scene 1 – Reuniting with Grandma

Henry rolls through the town outskirts, headlights flickering nervously.

Henry (thinking):

"…Okay, one week, five people, chaos everywhere… and I still have Grandma to take care of."

Grandma appears, now partially rejuvenated from her first reincarnation, walking with a magical staff.

Grandma:

"Henry-kun! I felt a portal coming. Did you bring me here again?"

Henry (panicking slightly):

"…Well, I mean… yes? But this time, I can officially make you my comrade!"

Grandma squints, then laughs softly.

Grandma:

"You say comrade… but do you even know what that means?"

Henry revs dramatically:

"Of course! It means you're officially stuck with me. Forever. Destiny requires it."

Scene 2 – Reincarnation Complete

Henry rolls forward, bumping into a glowing portal he carefully stabilizes with his bumper.

Henry:

"Step into the light, Grandma. You're going full magical now."

Grandma hesitates, then steps in. Light surrounds her, sparkling, as her appearance transforms fully—youthful, magical, glowing with energy.

Henry:

"…Wow. You look… even more intimidating than before."

Grandma (grinning):

"Intimidating? Oh, Henry-kun… wait until you see my magic."

Rein floats above, amused:

"Her abilities are rare. Use her wisely."

Henry (panicking):

"Rare abilities?! I just wanted a comrade who can… walk."

Grandma:

"…Henry-kun, I'm serious now. Let's start training."

Scene 3 – First Adventure Together

Henry and Grandma roll through a nearby forest, where monsters have been reported.

Henry:

"Okay… first official mission as a team. No accidental portal hits this time. Got it?"

Grandma twirls her staff; sparkles fly, hitting a nearby slime monster.

Grandma:

"Slime monster! I call this… Grandma's Whip of Destiny!"

Henry (engine revving excitedly):

"…That's actually effective!"

The slime explodes comically, leaving slime puddles everywhere.

Henry:

"…And now it's stuck on my bumper. Fantastic."

Grandma laughs:

"Welcome to teamwork, Henry-kun!"

Scene 4 – Comedy Chaos

As they move deeper into the forest:

Henry accidentally activates a portal under a wandering goblin.

WHOOSH! Goblin disappears, reappears as a small adventurer in another world.

Henry groans:

"…Why does chaos always follow me?"

Grandma pats Henry on the bumper:

"Don't worry. You're learning."

They continue adventuring, fighting minor monsters, dodging traps, and accidentally helping villagers along the way.

Henry (thinking):

"…Maybe having a comrade isn't so bad."

Grandma:

"Of course not! Now, let's see what other chaos awaits us. Ready, Truck-Kun?"

Henry:

"…I guess I am. For now."

Scene 5 – End of Chapter Teaser

Above the clouds, Rein floats, watching with a smirk.

Rein:

"…Interesting. The first comrade joins. Let's see how far he survives."

Henry and Grandma continue rolling through the forest, laughter and chaos echoing as more adventures await.
