Chapter 1 Encounter

The sky is bright and the warm sunlight comes 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 Im not wrong, there were the leftovers of the smoked meat and hard bread that I bought. As for the egg lets stop that. I left it for too long.

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

What, its already the noon bell? No wonder its this bright, huh.

I slept yesterday at uh, I dont remember. The fact that I slept in the bedroom means that I found my way to the bed. I always think that I have to do experiments moderately, but it seems that I get absorbed in the middle of the night.

Ah, come to think of it, today is the commemoration day. With this, how many times was it?

My name is Deris Fahrenheit. A pitiful person who got lost in a fantasy otherworld on this day more than 10 years ago. Commemoration day is a day when I came to this world. Even if I forget my birthday, I cant forget about this day. It is no exaggeration to say that it is already burned into my brain.

Now, no matter how you see me, Im Asian. I have a Japanese persons appearance and I felt a sense of discomfort at first to my western name. Even so, I accepted it easily because I have a problem with my memory. I have some knowledge about Japan, but I dont have any memory about myself. Somehow the name was like this. Maybe its not my real name.

Where did I live, what kind of work did I do, and why did I come to this world? I didnt remember it at all, so I was very confused at that time. Well, in the end, my memory never returns. Even so, you cant underestimate the humans adaptability to the environment. After overcoming various difficulties, I am now able to fully enjoy my shut-in life. This world where theres no science and monsters overflow when you leave the village is nothing to sneeze at. Because I dont know my previous lifestyle, I have no attachment to the previous world.

If I think so, I may be unexpectedly coldhearted. I still cant remember about my family and I dont 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 men are late married. Yeah, its too early. Lets enjoy this life a little more.

Still, talking about marriage, that woman is already aged enough, huh. I wont say the numbers, but shes 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 mean lunch. Its obvious that Im inside. Damn, I cant 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 came out

Hes out. Please leave.

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

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

Im enough with solicitation. I dont have any money.

Its not a solicitation! Its me, Canon!

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

I wont get deceived by its me its me scam. Just obediently return hmm?

When I opened the door a moment ago, I felt like there was someone next to Canon. That person was girlish. He always come alone so its rare.

What, you got a girlfriend? Congratulations, and then go home.

You congratulate me and yet you dont open it at all! Also, shes 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. Im also concerned about the girl mentioned earlier. Lets unlock and open the door.

So, what kind of trouble did you bring today?

P-please dont suddenly come out with a serious look. You surprised me.

Its my consideration. The truth is I really want to make a disgusted look.

Thank you for your consideration. Then, Deris-san, why dont you stop this exchange every time? You didnt open it when I came in the morning, Im tired

In fact, you always bring in troublesome work. The next treatment is decided depending on the contents today.

Ehh.

I didnt notice that he was coming in the morning. Lets 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 shes wearing, is she a daughter of a distinguished familiy?

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

Umm, I

Ah, wait. Dont just talk while standing like that. There must be some circumstances, just come in for the time being. Canon, dont stare at me suspiciously like that. You make me shy.

Its my modest opposition because you didnt let me in from the beginning.

Is that so. Its unexpectedly worked. Cmon, get in.

I ignore Canons 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, its okay now.

I kept you waiting.

No, rather than that, Deris-san its in a big mess again. Your living style is still as usual.

There are a lot of tower of books

Im very happy if you can ignore that.

I dont want to boast, but the state in my house is a mess. The only decisive reason is its 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 cant stand being told by a stranger girl.

Dont mind about my living. Just tell me the main problem. I may not look like it, but Im busy.

Jeez, running away when its 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 comes to black hair, its only one part of the people in the Far East or a transported person like me hm, transported person?

Canon. Where did you bring this girl from?

Im going to explain that right now. Lets start by introducing each other. Then

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

W-would you make me your disciple!?

Ha?
