Chapter 1 Encounter

The sky is bright and the warm sunlight cos in through the window. I get up from my familiar bed with a radiant feeling. I lightly loosen my body by stretching both hands towards the ceiling.

「Hnn…」

I wonder what should I do for breakfast? If I’m not wrong, there were the leftovers of the smoked at and hard bread that I bought. As for the egg―― let’s stop that. I left it for too long.

When I was thinking sothing usual in the morning, I heard the sound of a bell ringing from a distance.

「What, it’s already the noon bell? No wonder it’s this bright, huh.」

I slept yesterday at… uh, I don’t rember. The fact that I slept in the bedroom ans that I found my way to the bed. I always think that I have to do experints moderately, but it seems that I get absorbed in the middle of the night.

「…Ah, co to think of it, today is the commoration day. With this, how many tis was it?」

My na is Deris Fahrenheit. A pitiful person who got lost in a fantasy otherworld on this day more than 10 years ago. Commoration day is a day when I ca to this world. Even if I forget my birthday, I can’t forget about this day. It is no exaggeration to say that it is already burned into my brain.

Now, no matter how you see , I’m Asian. I have a Japanese person’s appearance and I felt a sense of discomfort at first to my western na. Even so, I accepted it easily because I have a problem with my mory. I have so knowledge about Japan, but I don’t have any mory about myself. Sohow the na was like this. Maybe it’s not my real na.

Where did I live, what kind of work did I do, and why did I co to this world? I didn’t rember it at all, so I was very confused at that ti. Well, in the end, my mory never returns. Even so, you can’t underestimate the human’s adaptability to the environnt. After overcoming various difficulties, I am now able to fully enjoy my shut-in life. This world where there’s no science and monsters overflow when you leave the village is nothing to sneeze at. Because I don’t know my previous lifestyle, I have no attachnt to the previous world.

………If I think so, I may be unexpectedly coldhearted. I still can’t rember about my family and I don’t want to be act assertively with people. This good ossan just lives freely.

「Since the people in this world get married early, should I get married soon?」

Girls get married early at 15, 16. If the partner is a noble with a unique hobby, the girl got married at a younger age. However, many n are late married. …… Yeah, it’s too early. Let’s enjoy this life a little more.

Still, talking about marriage, that woman is already aged enough, huh. I won’t say the numbers, but she’s aged enough. This might not my place to say this, but is she okay?

――――Bang bang!

Suddenly, I heard the sound of the door being knocked. I have a bad feeling.

「Deris-saan! Are you inside?」

This voice―― ah, my premonition was right. Pretending to be out… is no good huh. I just started the fire to make breakfast, I an lunch. It’s obvious that I’m inside. Damn, I can’t solve this without a sacrifice, huh.

I resisted the urge to wash my face and headed to the front door.

―――― Click.

「Ah, Deris-san! You finally ca out――」

「He’s out. Please leave.」

Bang! I close the door vigorously and lock it. Now, let’s prepare for lunch.

「Hey! Why did you close it!? You were there right, Deris-san!」

「I’m enough with solicitation. I don’t have any money.」

「It’s not a solicitation! It’s , Canon!」

An acquaintance boy inconsiderately tries to open the door. He, who has a weapon-like na called Canon, is one of the magicians in this country, the Magic Kingdom Adelheit. For so reason, he’s one of my few friends and a good-for-nothing who brings trouble from the country. Ah, on second thought, he’s not my friend. I have not much emotions.

「I won’t get deceived by ‘it’s it’s ’ scam. Just obediently return―― hmm?」

When I opened the door a mont ago, I felt like there was soone next to Canon. That person was girlish. He always co alone so it’s rare.

「What, you got a girlfriend? Congratulations, and then go ho.」

「You congratulate and yet you don’t open it at all! Also, she’s not my girlfriend! …… Hm?」

(TLn: She=kanojo, girlfriend=kanojo ‘kanojo wa kanojo janai!’)

You can see Canon is exhausted from his words. I should let him in now, he looks pitiful. I’m also concerned about the girl ntioned earlier. Let’s unlock and open the door.

「So, what kind of trouble did you bring today?」

「P-please don’t suddenly co out with a serious look. You surprised .」

「It’s my consideration. The truth is I really want to make a disgusted look.」

「Thank you for your consideration. Then, Deris-san, why don’t you stop this exchange every ti? You didn’t open it when I ca in the morning, I’m tired…」

「In fact, you always bring in troubleso work. The next treatnt is decided depending on the contents today.」

「Ehh.」

I didn’t notice that he was coming in the morning. Let’s apologize, in my heart that is.

「… Is this has relation with that girl?」

Next to Canon, the girl I saw a little while ago was standing still with a blank look. Looking at the refined clothes she’s wearing, is she a daughter of a distinguished familiy?

Is it to prevent from being conspicuous? She’s covered with the overcoat’s hood. Doing it in this broad daylight, I think it makes her conspicuous instead. Is this a joke?

「Umm, I――」

「Ah, wait. Don’t just talk while standing like that. There must be so circumstances, just co in for the ti being. Canon, don’t stare at suspiciously like that. You make shy.」

「It’s my modest opposition because you didn’t let in from the beginning.」

「Is that so. It’s unexpectedly worked. C’mon, get in.」

I ignore Canon’s fervent appeal and invite them to the living room. Ah, crap. I was leaving the fire as it is. First of all, I let them sit on the sofa in the living room and put out the fire in the kitchen. Alright, it’s okay now.

「I kept you waiting.」

「No, rather than that, Deris-san… it’s in a big ss again. Your living style is still as usual.」

「There are a lot of tower of books…」

「I’m very happy if you can ignore that.」

I don’t want to boast, but the state in my house is a ss. The only decisive reason is it’s fine as long I know where I put things, I only clean it up when I feel like it. I am used to being told so by Canon. However, I can’t stand being told by a stranger girl.

「Don’t mind about my living. Just tell the main problem. I may not look like it, but I’m busy.」

「Jeez, running away when it’s inconvenient… err, the hood.」

「Ah, yes!」

The girl realized it now and then hurriedly took off the hood she was wearing. Then, a long black-haired ponytail flutters out from the hood.

Black hair is rare. In this world, when it cos to black hair, it’s only one part of the people in the Far East or a transported person like ―― hm, transported person?

「… Canon. Where did you bring this girl from?」

「I’m going to explain that right now. Let’s start by introducing each other. Then――」

When Canon tried to urge the black-haired pony girl, she suddenly stood up and said this to ,

「W-would you make your disciple!?」

…………Ha?
