Okay, so this is the beginning of arc 2.
...----------------...
The moon and the day flowed quickly.
Ten years have passed since I came to this world from another world.
….That's lies. It's only been about two weeks.
I wouldn't say I can live without problems so far as to pass those times.
I got up slowly, washed my face and went to the kitchen.
First, I need to make a fire. Well, I'm used to making fire using flint, so it's easy.
Then I warmed up the soup I made a lot at dinner last night.
In another pot, I boiled water to boil eggs.
To be honest I like half-baked, but. Huh, I miss Japanese quality control.
I'm sure it will be difficult to develop antibiotics, but what about pasteurization technology?
If I can keep the hot water temperature constant, I can use it to make boiled eggs. Here, there is no thermometer.
“Is there nothing I can do...”.
I put the boiled egg into the cold water and let it sit for a while.
Then, put the pot in the middle of the table, then wash three wooden bowls before I put it on the table.
Draining the boiled egg, I moved it to the sieve and also put it on the table.
Lastly, some fruit and fruit knives.
Hmm, seeing this makes me want yogurt too.
I want to make bacon and eggs instead of boiled eggs, but the cost of making bacon is….
Really, the person who cooks Japanese food in the morning is amazing.
[TN; Why? it takes a lot of time to prepare]
I poured soup into the bowl. And clenched my hands like when someone wanted to pray.
Peel the boiled eggs and sprinkle some salt.
The outside is a bit cold, but the inside is a bit warm.
And before the soup got cold, I took a sip into my mouth.
Huuu, I took a breath, and ate one egg.
And, one of my housemates came.
"Shisho, Good Morning!" (Wolf)
“Again, Wolfe. Today too, you are so excited.”
"Wolfe's always excited!" (Wolf)
Wolfe's learning speed was extremely fast.
He doesn't need Possession Magic anymore.
He had not been able to say any difficult words, but he could already speak a common language in this world.
A few days ago was a wait and see period after canceling possession, but he did not seem to have any problems.
Hm? What about this other world?
Hahaha, still in process.
Being able to communicate with others was very attractive to Wolfe, So, his efforts and motivation to get it was very good.
On the other hand, since I was still familiar with Japanese, it was difficult for me to eliminate the gap between languages, and since convenient magic like Possession Magic existed, I wanted to keep relying on it. Te-he
[TN; Te-he is. find it yourself if you don't know. Wh-he]
But it's only been a week or so since I started studying, you know?
So, is it not enough if I can say 'Hello' or 'Happy to meet you', right?
At least I'm making some progress. Many times a few words are not translated correctly using this Possession Magic.
For example, the word 'Sample', initially Grandpa Kara did not understand the meaning of the word.
The reason was simple, because the meaning of that 'Sample' was 'Sample' itself attached to my head.
It seems that if, when I talk about that 'Example' when thinking strongly that the meaning is that 'Example', then they will understand that.
I noticed a lot of problems like this when writing in western languages.
I tried to write 'Agenda' and 'Resume' in western languages, and no one understood it.
Well, there he is.
[TN: so, the MC's point is, If he says the word 'Sample', in this case he says it in English, and keeps thinking that it means also 'Sample', too', no one can understand it. So, all he needed to do was that when he said the word 'Sample', he needed to think about the meaning in the Japanese word.]
“Hmmmm♪ Hmmmm♪ Hmmmm♪” (Wolfe)
Wolfe poured more soup while humming and holding both his own hands.
At first there was no need to join hands in this world. However, prayer with shared hands is in the teachings of the Yugura religion.
"Itadaki-masu!" (Wolf)
Of course, the language he used was Japanese. I didn't force her to say it, but she had fully learned this Japanese language.
Still, he ate this simple side dish very deliciously.
It made me want to cook something better for her.
"Shisho, where are we going today?" (Wolf)
“Today we will go to Marito's place. So, Wolfe has to train with Grandpa Kara and the other knights, okay?”
"okay!" (Wolf)
And finally, my last housemate woke up.
He should have washed his face first, because he could not hide his sleepy face.
"Illias, Morning!" (Wolf)
“... Morning, Wolfe.” (Illian)
Illias poured the soup the same way and started eating.
While looking at me, he reached out to pick up the fruit and spoke to me.
“When I first saw you, I thought you were the one who wouldn't wake up as soon as you slept.” (Illian)
“I was very tired at the time. I usually wake up if I feel the morning sun on my skin for an hour.”
And the way I slept back then was more like fainting, you know?
I had to hide this grudge from her.
“And here I guess that Illias is always energetic from morning.”
“I'll be like that after changing clothes. That's why I always try to wear my armour even at home.” (Illian)
I can understand wearing armor at home like an office worker wearing a suit. But, it feels more like a firefighter wearing his fire suit, you know?
I decided to think like that. And I'm sure Wolfe will also be like that. Anyway, I started peeling the fruit for Wolfe and Illias.
“But isn't that the reason why the image of discipline and rigidity is directed at you by the people?”
"That's. I can't deny it." (Illian)
According to Saira, who is the national representative of someone familiar with knight situation, the image of Illias owned citizens is “Tegas”, “Serius”, “Bermartabat”, “She can not make jokes”, Serius, “ I'll die if He's angry”, and maybe the others.
When He heard the latter, he made a very depressed face.
Saira and I agreed that such an image should be eliminated to some extent, so now, we are making plans for it.
“Accomplishing achievement is important. But, you should also be careful about what kind of impression you should give to others.”
“Hmm... can you tell me in detail what I should do?” (Illian)
“When someone greets you, reply with a smile. That's enough for you.”
"Smiles. Smile." (Illian)
Don't tell me it's a smile?
If the greeting is replied with such a face, citizens will think ‘Hey, did I make a mistake?’. It would scare them!
“First of all, practice laughing naturally. Sometimes you can do it.”
"Isn't it hard to smile when you realize it?" (Illian)
“Certainly difficult. Especially if they rarely do. After all, there is no harm in doing it, so practice hard.”
"….Can you?" (Illian)
"Of course you can."
I showed a refreshing smile. But, he's staying away.
This gorilla girl. My smile and your smile are like heaven and earth!?
"What's? Do you have a problem with that?"
"No, it's okay, I just thought that 'you can also make a face like that huh'... Anyway, I have to work hard at it." (Illian)
After that, Illias changed into his armor and headed to the castle first.
I cleaned the dishes and did enough house cleaning. Of course Wolfe will help too.
Now Illias even asked me to clean his room as well. This doesn't mean Illias doesn't like cleaning her own room.
Usually, I do it every day, but after coming home, it's always late afternoon or evening. So, as long as I can't do the cleaning and washing well, I try to do it together while I'm off.
Besides, I usually do laundry at places like laundry shops.
After cleaning and washing, we left for the castle. I walk because I don't have a private train.
To make things easier, I tried to get Wolfe to carry my body like Gorilla did before, but I gave up because I was worried about people's views. So, let's just accept it as a walk after a meal and light exercise.
Wolfe also followed me while humming. When Wolfe was napping earlier, someone who was making lunch was singing a humming song, and he heard it, so the man decided to teach him.
(TN: The man is our MC, lol)
Since then, I have often heard phrases that I have only heard somewhere in Japan…
The views of everyone around me…. It seems they are getting used to it.
In the past few days, Some people from the Black Wolf tribe had often come to Tiez.
And the Kingdom officially announced it. So, no wonder if there are Demi-Humans walking around.
However, their reaction is not as much as the reaction of people in Japan when they see a stranger in Tokyo.
If anything, it's almost the same as when you see something that seems a little unusual when you visit a rural area.
By the way, Wolfe stands out with his white color. It made me want to ask what brand of bleach she was using…. Don't worry, I've never used it.
If they were to get used to seeing her a little more, she would be accepted as a Demi-Human girl popular in this neighborhood, but it seems that she is a little reluctant to talk to others she does not yet know her name.
Oh, and because someone with black hair and black eyes is rare, so sometimes I feel like they're looking at me like a foreign tourist.
We finally arrived. I showed the pass to the soldiers in front of the bridge and entered the castle grounds.
This passing certificate was given by Lord Ragdo. it was an incredible item that allowed you to meet Lord Ragdo and King Marito with almost no procedures.
The reason I say almost is because, I have to wait when they are busy such as during meetings or when dealing with foreign guests.
We continued our journey through the hallway to the office. I greeted the guards and they let me in.
Inside, there is a figure of Marito facing the table and documents.
"Your Majesty, Good Morning!" (Wolf)
“Again, Wolfe. Morning, my friend.” (Marito)
"Is this going to take a long time?"
"That's right. So, sit down for a while and wait for me.” (Marito)
I sat in the chair that was prepared for me. There's a private book on the table.
Marito was tidying up the paperwork in his office while we waited. Because he needed time to finish, so he gave me a room to keep me busy.
That's why I spent time reading and studying with Wolfe. After that, it's time to get back to our original goal of coming here.
"Did anything change?"
"Yes. Generally people let people choose what they want to learn in school. It seems that the program will begin after selecting a few candidates. However, as expected, raising the education level of the entire kingdom did not get much support.” (Marito)
“Yeah, I think so. Children here are considered as a very valuable potential worker. If the study period is extended, they will continue to learn until they can work. It's a pity not to use such labor.”
“If anyone can aim to be a high-ranking official like your world, I guess we can hope. However, many people listened to stories about giving incentives or scholarships to allow promising ordinary children to attend the school where the nobles attended." (Marito)
“Does the aristocrats show reluctance to add ordinary people into aristocratic dominated jobs?”
“There's not much to say about that. However, there is also an opinion that the children of nobles will be motivated by awakening their self-esteem.” (Marito)
"So so. But when it was finally introduced, I felt they would be harassed by the aristocratic class.”
What I've done so far is answer questions from Marito.
Wh why? Because when he asked me to talk about Earth, I didn't know where to start, so we decided like this.
He asked, I answered.
