Chapter 10: Oop
I looked at Nathan blankly, while he did the sa back to . The reality of the situation was sinking in. Sohow, with the power of two people, we were supposed to feed eighteen thousand people.
The biggest problem with this was that in the ga you actually had to make several encounters with people by chance. It was going to be hard to replicate that because the ga didn't specify exact dates and tis as to where to go.
While both of us morized what we had to do, at the end of the day, gas weren't all that specific in their execution. It was a ga after all, not a manual.
I tapped my chin a few tis.
"...I guess you should try the ga's thod if you can, but if it doesn't work then it doesn't work."
Nathan nodded.
"I'll try, but it's definitely not going to be easy. To be honest, I don't have much faith, especially with the first encounter..."
I narrowed my eyes rather intensely too. He had to first et a man nad Bernie. The thing was, he just so happened to be at the bar at a certain ti. After that, he would appear again and he would have to et him as he was leaving.
Not to ntion the timing, Nathan would have to act properly in both encounters.
The only thing I could do was pray that he got lucky.
I shook my head.
"Alright... while you work on that, maybe I'll do the sa thing the church does, by handing out food and stuff like that."
Nathan looked him straight in the face.
"So how are you going to convince the chefs?"
I paused.
Hm. You know, I didn't really think about that part. But I an... surely it would work out sohow? How would I even know how much money I owned anyway?
Man, actually doing things is confusing...
Nathan waved his hand.
"Anyway, I should probably go back now. I still have to deal with figuring out things at ho on my own end. Thanks for helping figure out where it was though."
I gave him a thumbs up.
"No problem. Just don't fuck up too bad."
Nathan clicked his tongue.
"Fine, I'll try my best not to."
And so, I took Nathan out to the entrance of the manor, called a servant to prepare a carriage, and sent him back. Thankfully, they actually were able to find out where his ho was by asking around, so it was all fine.
From there, I went back to my own room and plopped down on my bed. Honestly, for a noble bed, it wasn't as soft as I imagined, but it was still better than my bed on Earth. I began to wonder how the mother and child Nathan and I saved were doing.
From the blurry mories I can recall, they seed pretty distressed over our death, but hopefully, that wouldn't traumatize them that bad. I then began to think of our other friends.
While Nathan and I were best friends, it's not like we didn't have others. Were they grieving over our death? Hopefully not too much, especially considering that we did reincarnate, so there's really nothing to feel sorry about.
As that was going through my mind, I realized it was starting to get late. I always take a shower before going to bed, so I got up and resolved to do that. In the process of searching my room, I ended up finding the bathroom, so there were no worries there.
Though, When I did end up getting to the bathroom, I saw Jess was there. She had her arms crossed and was glaring at .
"Why did you eat lunch early?"
I looked back at her dumbfounded. I an, despite exploring the entire damn place I didn't see even our mother or our father, so it was pretty clear we didn't eat together as a family.
"Um, I just happened to be there with Natan, so we just ate."
Jess clenched her fists rather tightly before scoffing.
"Fine then."
With that, she stord off, leaving standing there awkwardly. I blinked a few tis and spoke to myself.
"Is she a brocon or does she hate ? This is... confusing."
I shook my head and went into the bath. It was larger than I expected and I also fumbled around quite a bit, but I was able to get by. For a mont, I wondered how there was hot water, but rembered this was a place of swords and magic.
While simring in the hot water, I contemplated how luxurious my life had suddenly beco. But really, I didn't care all that much for that. Maybe it was because I grew up without a lot of money.
Though, shouldn't growing up in a poor household make you greedy?
Eh, I'm not really a human psyche type of guy so I guess I wouldn't know.
They had soap by the way, though it was crude bar soap rather than things like shampoo and body wash. Regardless, it was good enough. I left the bath with a new change of clothes. They were already prepared and set aside when I got in.
Upon returning to my room, I couldn't help but think about those magical diagrams on my desk. As such, I decided to look at so of them.
...And didn't understand anything about them.
There were a series of lines connecting various things within spheres, which seed to create a spell. As for why it was like that, I had no idea. I tried to cross-reference it with other diagrams, but it still didn't make any sense at all.
I couldn't help but get a bad feeling for magic class, but shoved it to the back of my mind.
It took a while to realize, but I marveled at the fact that it seed Bryson had actually drawn these diagrams himself. The ink looked kinda fresh, aning it was probably yesterday that he worked on all these. I guess that was to be expected of soone who worked hard to get a perfect test score.
I stretched and let out a yawn before going to bed. While feeling myself fall asleep, I feel like I heard a click of so kind. But I was probably just overthinking things.
...
The next day ca, and I felt my neck felt really sore, while I was sweating in what felt like a fiery pit of a bed. I threw off the sheets imdiately to cool down a bit and panicked sowhat.
Did I get sick?
I put a hand to my forehead, feeling the heat. But it wasn't that bad.
Damn, I swear I put my head in the proper position so that it doesn't get sore. After cracking my neck with a frown I got up and made my way down. There was already food prepared in the dining room, and Jess was sitting down in one of the seats.
Though it was a fairly big table, there was only a plate prepared for the seat next to her.
...Did the servants arrange that, or was that her?
I sat down, though the mont I did, she glared at . It made a little scared.
Is this how tsunderes work? For so reason, I don't really feel the endearing part of it. Don't they usually go like, you baka, or sothing?
...Maybe Jess isn't a tsundere.
I finished my al. There was apparently still so ti before school, so I just arbitrarily picked up the wooden sword that was in my room and tried swinging it around. My first impression was that my muscles were far stronger than what I had on Earth. Although I confird it at the gym, it for so reason felt different when I swung the sword.
I tried a little more, but I really did not have the technique for it, thus making it feel sloppy.
...Man, how much did Bryson practice the sword? I should probably work on it as well so that my muscles don't degrade.
Before I could think of it more, it was ti to go to school, thus I was called to the carriage and went to school. The ride there was, as expected, filled with awkward silence. Once I finally got there, I saw Nathan also walking up to the school, but he looked incredibly tired.
I was a little concerned, so I stepped up towards him and raised a hand, though before I could say anything...
"Get away from him, monster!"
Minori suddenly jumped out, blocking my path toward him. She still looked afraid and had difficulty facing directly, but she had far more resolve than last ti.
She looked so cute, but...
Monster?
I'm... I'm not that ugly, right? Wait, I'm literally Bryson right now, not my normal self. I'm not ugly at all!
But... monster?...
T-That's taking it too far! R-Right? I-I an there are so nice monsters, I think. L-Like Casper!
Wait, no he's a ghost.
"Hey!"
I felt myself get shoved from the side, and in my stunned state I ended up falling onto the ground. Looking upwards, I saw that it was Jess that shoved . She was glaring at .
"Don't stare at other won like that!"
...Ah, crap. Was I making a creepy face? No, no, no, Minori was right in front of while that was happening! Fuck! Good call, Jess! I take back my bad opinion of you!
I got up and brushed my clothes off casually. From there, I cleared my throat and walked to class all the while pretending nothing was wrong. Once I got there, I got a greeting.
"Hey, Bryson!"
Raisa waved to with a bright smile. I waved back at her.
"Ah, hey Raisa."
She let out a giggle before clasping her hands together.
"So? Did you find a suitable ti?"
I looked at her confused.
"Huh? What are you talking about?"
Raisa blinked a few tis. She still had a smile on her face as she tilted her head to the side.
"Hahaha, you're so funny, Bryson. You said you would check the next ti you were available to co to my estate!"
...Shit.
I felt myself turn to stone and a crack split in two.
Now that I think about it, I did in fact tell her I was going to do that. Unfortunately, I completely forgot because of the plan we were discussing before. So uh... what should I do?
I coughed awkwardly.
"Uh, so... it looks like tomorrow is probably fine, but don't prepare too much because er, sothing could co up and we may have to push it back by a little bit."
Raisa continued to look at with the sa smile she had earlier.
"...Eh, since when were you such a bad liar?"
I felt my stone self crack once more.
"Wh-What? Lying? O-Of course not!"
Raisa smiled bitterly.
"Hahaha, unless you're faking it, you don't seem very experienced at lying. You really don't look like that type of person though."
I scratched the back of my head, trying my best to ignore the heat coming from my cheeks.
"Y-Yeah... sorry. I forgot."
Raisa let out a small sigh.
"I'll forgive you, but you owe , alright?"
I narrowed my eyes slightly.
"Fine, but nothing too overboard!"
Raisa giggled.
"Nice!"
My eyelid twitched.
"Wait... did I agree to that too easily?"
Rais flicked her long white hair and looked away.
"I don't know, maybe?"
