Chapter 5: Try Thinking About the Current Situation

Translator: Flowingcloud Editor: Sage Yomeiri

As I was crying, I heard knocking on the door, and it sounded like someone was entering the room. I turned to look at who it was, and the figure of the transcendent-like handsome leader. Our eyes met, and my gaze became firm for some reason.

“?”

W-What? Why are they firm?

“Leader. Did that kid wake up? Eh? What’s wrong? Did the leader make you cry?”

Agro-san appeared from behind the transcendent beauty and approached the flustered me.

Eh? I wasn’t crying though…… Oh, since my tears are falling, they misunderstood.

I panicked and got up.

“No, um, that’s not it. It’s not like I’ve been crying…… ah, I was slightly moved to tears, but it wasn’t the Leader-san’s fault in particular. Umm, err.”

“I see, I see. The leader’s not a bad guy, but his words are a bit too harsh sometimes. I thought for sure he made you cry. So, you’re fine? Can you get up?”

“Ah, yes. Sorry for making you worry……”

I bowed to them gently while seated on the sofa, with my silver hair covering my cheeks.

…Hm? Silver?

Could it be…that I have the appearance of the character I use in Elysia Online and not how I actually look?!

In the game you can choose between six races: Human, Elf, Fairy, Demon, Dwarf, and Beast. It was my first time playing online, so I was considering between Human, Elf, and Fairy…but in the end I went with Human.

My silver hair was around shoulder length and my cat-like eyes were purple.

…Come to think of it, I’ve done a bad thing to that woman. She began to talk to me, but I suddenly passed out.

“Sorry for being a bother, Onee-san……

As I dropped my shoulders, Agro-san sat down beside me and gently patted my head.

Oh, don’t worry about Amanda. Good grief, don’t ramble on to a kid who’s all alone and uneasy. You have to be considerate. Leader also thinks so right?”

“No, I think you’re just noisy.”

“Eh?! No I’m not!”

“That’s enough, shut up. I can’t even talk to the kid.”

“Yeah yeah. The other party is a kid, so please don’t scare them.”

“I know.”

When Agro-san left, in his stead Leader-san sat beside me.

Uuu…… I’m kinda nervous.

“I’m called Leon, the leader of this fort. I want to ask you a few questions, but is that fine?”

I nodded my head as a response.

“First, there’s no mistake that you’ve come from another country called ‘Nihon’?”

I nodded my head once more.

“Then, why were you at that place? Do you remember?”

I shook my head at that question. Even I want to know.

“Were you together with someone? A parent or a relative……?”

I shook my head once again, and Leon-san looked at me troubled.

But I’m troubled too. You probably won’t believe me if I said something like ‘I came to this world suddenly’ after playing a game. I wonder how I can explain this.

Also, I’m afraid of being considered a heretic if I told the truth……

What should I do?

What should I reply with?

Someone teach me~~~~~

“Anything’s fine. Is there anything you remember?”

When Leon-san asked, I nervously opened my mouth.

“Um……I don’t know if you’ll believe me, but…… I should have been in my own room up to then. However, when I noticed, it seems like I was sleeping there. I also don’t know what happened…”

“I see……”

Leon-san put his hand on his chin, and it seemed like he was thinking about something.

“A family name holder, furthermore she’s probably a child of a high ranking noble family. It’s unthinkable that such a child would have not even one guard. Which means that an accident occurred or something?”

Huh? Noble?

No no no, it’s not such an exaggerated family you know?!

Dad is a normal office worker after all.

“I’m not a noble or anything you know.”

“You’re not a noble? However, you have a house name…… and that hand is probably not of a laborer’s hand. Furthermore, to be able to talk in such a manner at that age, you can only be a person who has received education.”

I feel that a laborer’s hand is a hand that has dried skin and cracks. Certainly, I don’t have such hands, but I don’t groom my hands to the point to the so called ‘noble’s hand’…… I haven’t shaved my nails with a file; just snapped them right off with a nail clipper.

Also, as for the way I speak, of course it’d be more mature than an 8 year old because I’m actually 18.

It seems I can’t easily dodge these questions.

However, I can’t say the truth, what should I do……?

“But in my country, everyone has a family name. There are no nobles…… The royal family are royalty in name only. It might be opposite of your country.”

They’re the imperial family though.

“Ohhh.”

“Education is also available to all the people to a certain age. Therefore, I’m just a normal kid from a normal family.”

“In other words, everyone in your country lives like a noble, correct?”

H~m. I think it’s a little bit different though…… but there isn’t a class system, right?

When I was troubled over what I should say, Leon-san lightly patted my head.

“It was a difficult conversation for a kid. Sorry.”

No…… it’s my bad since I can’t say the truth……

My stomach was in pain due to the feelings of guilt.

Haa. At any rate, to have come to the game world where I changed my occupation to a sage…… it feels like a fairy tail even though it’s about me.

If I knew this would happen, I shouldn’t have changed my occupation……

…Hmm?

Changed my occupation to sage??
