Chapter 2

I just decided to keep calling the MC Caam . Nobody had any violent reactions about that anyway

There were a few parts in this chapter I didnt really get . If I made any mistakes, feel free to point them out .

Chapter 2: Using magic for the first time

I go to a school-like facility where we learn basic reading and writing, fundamentals of magic and simple body movements starting from around 9 a . m .

The very young-looking principal told us Please come to school before the sun reaches the peak of that mountain . After that, I was told that the dragon kin are the oldest in this village even if they have a young appearance . However, the concept of time here is a little vague . Its doesnt really trouble me in any way but as a former Japanese, Im a little bothered by it .

There are no clocks in this world so, in my free time during sunrise, I pierce a pole into the ground and straighten it with my hands then point out my pinky finger towards the horizon . When the sun is fully aligned with it, I place a mark on at the tip of the shadow the pole is making . Then I do the same again when it aligns with my ring finger . When all of the marks are aligned, youll know the general direction of east and west . Since it seems that the sun moves approximately 15 degrees per hour, when you open your fingers at a 15 degree angle, youll find out how long an hour is . [TN: Im pretty sure there were less complicated ways to tell if the time is about the same in another world . ]

Well, this was how to know the approximate time from when I was on Earth . Then, I just have to stand above the line to face north and synchronize my body clock with the approximate time from the suns angle . Or rather, I thought that the sun was supposed to come out from the east . [TN: It doesnt?]

What are you doing? Suzuran suddenly called out from behind me . I was just playing for a bit, it wasnt fun so I stopped . hm? Shes tilting her head . I was probably able deceive her since it looks like she didnt understand .

SkillComprehension of Time: 1 acquired .

I just remembered something . Theres isnt really any concept of time here but, that doesnt really matter .

When school starts, as a man, there should be a getting woken up by my childhood friend event right? Shell say If you dont wake up, youll be late!and forcibly pull off my futon, shell scream when she sees my forming tent and well run off to school while still in my bed hair . I yearned for that kind of event but, I only had male childhood friends when I was on Earth and I didnt have any close female friends nearby . That was just my delusion . I did have someone like that at school but, I was just Mob A, a classmate to talk to .

As my childhood friend, I had great expectations from Suzuran but unfortunately, Im good at waking up in this world as well . In my previous life, I got up just before my alarm then turn it off the moment it rings . My alarm clock was treated just as something like an insurance .

Ever since I came to this world, I would wake up a little bit before sunrise, help out a bit on the fields and then finish eating breakfast so I had plenty of time to go to school .

Five minutes passed but Suzuran still didnt arrive in the meeting place . I told her to come in advance but she only arrived after 5 minutes . She had Japanese doll-like bed hair and she looked really sleepy .

Hey, Suzuran-chan . Are you perhaps not a morning person? ? . un?

Not good . Blood hasnt flowed to her head yet . Im not even sure if she had breakfast .

How many times have you been late? Ill pick you up from now on so that we wont be late for school . If you dont want your sleeping face to be seen, wake up early! un?

Its unclear whether or not she understood it but I got her to agree more or less . Ill also ask Suzurans parents later . Weve been childhood friends for 2 years but this will be the first time Ill get to know them .

When we somehow arrived at school without being late, Miiru[] the self-important* Dhampir immediately looked like she had something to say . I wonder if theyre the type that thinks their race is superior? It doesnt matter to me as a former Japanese though . Kids like those exist right? [*TN: I wonder if egotistical or elitist is better? Im not really sure what is in english]

Shouldnt you have come to school earlier? She looked down said that while her waist-length silver hair was swaying . I just replied Aa*, Ill do so to the best of my ability . For people like this, you should just brush them off lightly . Still, I thought that Dhampirs have weak constitution as a child but, it doesnt look like that to me .
