Chapter 9 - [Chapter 9] My First Morning

As I wake up from my sleep, I turn in my new bed and look outside, the sun barely up in the sky, showering whatever it can touch with its golden glow. I yawn and realize something, 'I didn't brush my teeth last night. Guess I am gonna have to find out later if people brush their teeth here.' I walk downstairs to the kitchen to see my new mother cooking breakfast. "Morning." I say as I rub the sleep out of my eyes and I take a seat at the table. She jumps a bit and looks at me, "Morning Kurayami."

'I guess she usually is used to being the only one up this early. Either that or I'm really quiet.' "So how did you sleep?" She asks in a kind voice. I smile, "Like a log." She giggles, "I bet after what happened yesterday." I look at her, confused, "What do you mean?" "Sylvic explained everything that happened yesterday to me before we went to bed." She responded while tending to some eggs on the stove.

"Using mana for the first time can be pretty tiring. I remember when I did it, I was exhausted and could barely stay awake. I was impressed at how lively you were yesterday, especially with the small amount your body can hold currently." She elaborates, explaining to me why I was feeling slightly more tired than I should've yesterday.

"Aren't those the same clothes you were wearing yesterday?" She asks, seeing me wearing the same clothes I did yesterday. "Yeah, I didn't look to see if there were clothes in my room that could fit me. I'll look in a bit. By the way, do you guys have a bathroom I can use?"

She looks at me and giggles. "Yeah, it's over there." She says as she points towards a door under the steps. I walk over to the door and open it. There's a toilet, a sink, a mirror, and a bath tub. My thoughts start racing when I see this. 'They are based in the Middle Ages but have technology that can be compared to Modern Ages. Is this possible because of magic and magic crystals? And if so, I definitely need to learn to use crystals to create stuff when I get older.' I close the door and jog upstairs to my room, I walk over to the drawer and open it to search through the clothes that are in here, they are all different sizes so I take all my clothes out and dump them on the floor, then I put clothes that currently can fit me in the top drawer and clothes that don't fit me yet in the bottom.

I am left with about ten pairs of clothes that I can wear, so I grab a black long sleeve, blue cloth pants, a pair of underwear, and a pair of socks, so I head to the bathroom. I come back down and enter the bathroom. I strip down, looking at myself in the mirror above the sink.

'I look good with my knight like body and charming looks.' I think to myself as I do multiple poses of me flexing my muscles. I decide that's enough after the seventh pose and hop in the bath tub. I turn what I assume is the faucet and water comes out. It is at first cold but gradually warms up till it's a good temperature. I wait a minute then turn off the faucet. I look at the variety of soap on the wall and realize, I don't have my own soap. So I decide to soak in the water for ten minutes, rinse my hair and drain it. As I step out of the bathtub, a green crystal blows wind on my as I stand there, 1 minute later, it stops and I'm absolutely dry. 'Ok, so it is crystals that are like the Modern Age technology, I could definitely use this.' I think while I'm getting dressed.

After I have put my pants on, the door opens and in walks a dreary eyed Elva. All of a sudden, her eyes go wide when she sees me, with my slightly tan skin and my 6 pack outline. She quickly back steps and shuts the door faster than I can breath. I put my shirt, socks, and shoes on and leave the bathroom after a quick leak and a wash of my hands. I walk into the kitchen and see Elva there, when she sees me, she blushes slightly and goes, "Good Morning."

'Dear gosh, I'm five years younger than you and now your brother, get a grip. At least I wasn't naked.' My mind thinks but I actually say, "Morning."

I walk over to the table and sit down, and as time goes by, the sun rises slowly, and so does the activity in the house, everyone gets up one by one till all seven of us are up and about to eat breakfast.

We're all sitting at the table and out breakfast looks amazing. We have what looks to be bacon, eggs, and toast, along with an orange drink. I don't hesitate and bite into the bacon, it is crispy, the fatty oil getting on my fingers as I eat the bacon in a few bites, then the eggs and toast, they look sunny side up! I grab my fork and cut the egg open, the yellow yolk inside spilling outward on my plate, I grab my last and wipe up as much of the yolk as I can and eat it. It tastes fantastic, it just melts in my mouth as I chew. Last but not least, this orange drink, I take a sip and, no surprise, it's orange juice. 'They have bacon and eggs in this world, why not oranges?'

By the end of breakfast, our food is finished and I go over to the sink in the kitchen and figure out how to wash my hands, there is a knob on the wall. I turn it slowly and as I do, water starts to trickle out of the faucet and the further I turn it more water comes out. I stop when it's at a good speed and wash my hands using soap that is on the left side of the sink, I turn the knob till the water stops and dry my hands on a towel in front of the sink.

'I could get used to this.'
