Try Thinking About the Current Situation

    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? 1

    “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.2

    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’?” 3

    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. 4

    “Ohhh.”

    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. 5

    “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??
