Yoro: "Woah..."
Yoro couldn't hold his voice as he looked up in amazement. What he saw in his sight there was a gigantic clock, jolting up from the ground like a huge nail hammered onto the earth below.
It's the otherworld's version of big ben!
Right now, Yoro was standing in the city square located in the central district of the city. It was the busiest and the most crowded place around here, which was also where the giant clock was built.
This City was called Ehrenar, a pretty big city under Ehren Marquise's jurisdiction. A place that was bustling with all kinds of people and carriage transportation that went back and forth, looking perfectly the same as what he imagined as a city in another world.
Yoro was now wearing black long pants which matched his hair and a casual white shirt but contrasted with his eyes, a clothing he intentionally used so he could blend in with the crowd as much as he could.
But sadly, even after all his effort for not attracting people's attention, their gaze was still drawn to him for some reason.
But here was the funny part. All of them, basically all of the people who were having a curious nature and questioning in heart about who was that young master emitting a noble aura, were only brave enough to take a glimpse before turning their gaze away, did not even spare a second glance.
And maybe all this have something to do with the certain baldy who was standing beside him
As he said, his head was bald, without any beard or anything on his face. The hair that grew in his face is just his brow and eyelashes, making his head shine like a diamond under the sun with how polished it was. His muscle looks bulging without his armour. And he had a stern eyes that giving 'mess with me, I'll break your neck' vibe
Chad: "young master, I apologize but can you have some dignity? you behaving exactly like a country bumpkin right now" he said while glaring at whoever stare at them more than two seconds
Yoro: "ah shut it, Chad. We are now sightseeing this beautiful place, not attending some important meeting. You can at least be at ease" he said while looking right and left to find an interesting store.
Chad: "but young master, you must be careful in a place like this! Or you will unconsciously being-"
Yoro: "look Chad! A library! Come on, let's go!" He said and ran there like a child. Well, technically he was one though.
Chad, whose word had just been cut off like that, having a visible vein that bulged out of his forehead. His eyes were twitching at this reckless young master of him, but Chad could do nothing now but to follow him as worriness filling his heart
Entering the library, the smell of old papers could be smelled in the air. This was a particular smell that can be found just in the place full of books, the same feeling you got when you entered the library on earth. But here, you would never know what you were going to find.
Walking to the counter, Yoro then greeted the onee-san that was in charge here.
Yoro: "Good morning Miss, can I ask you with something?" He said politely to that lady in front of him. Just to be outrightly ignored by her.
Chad: "pfft- cough cough…. You can read the rules of this library there, young master" Chad hurriedly faked a cough to hide it, but Yoro's ears functioned perfectly fine to miss that obvious ridiculement.
Annoyed by these two people, Yoro just read the rules in this place quickly before going out by himself.
Yoro: "Well, you can do whatever you want, Chad. I will be here for a moment" he said while waving his hand at him.
Chad, seeing his master gone to dwell in books by himself, feeling he had nothing to do in here anymore. If someone wanted to do something like kidnapping his young master, they would not do it in a place as quiet as this, or at least not where your scream could reach very afar like this library
So he would just look around or guard the entrance until his young master came back. But, just when he was about to turn his body, a woman's voice called him.
???: "Well, hello there, handsome"
Turning his head back, he could see the girl at the counter had closed her book and was now looking at him. Smiling shyly, as if inviting him to sit down and talk about some useless things.
Chad had an urge to go there, feeling that he was the one she flattered for. He was even looking right and left to reasure himself he was the one. And as he expected, there was no one around here except him alone.
Chad: 'uhh….but it can't be me right?'
It was just he could not go to that length just to embarassed himself. So he intended to go out and leave…..just to hear the same voice calling him out again.
???: "Wait!! Why are you so in a hurry. I just want to talk with you for a while..." that voice said nervously at him
Chad stopped his step and looked at that desperate girl. Even if he knew the chance was low, his heart screamed at him for he at least ensured that before leaving.
So he turned his body and pointed his fingers at his own face as a signal. And unexpectedly, that girl nodded at him while her cheeks started to turn pink with how embarrassed she is.
Chad, who just realized he had just been called handsome, and by a fine lady at that, feeling his body was flying in the cloud nine.
It was his first time someone tried to pick up on him while his head up there was hairless and shining like a gemstone. But, while that feeling rampaging inside his heart, he was a pro in this area(or that was what he thinking)
And as professional as he is, the exterior and his expression didn't change that much as he slowly and cooly walked to her and sat in one of the chairs available.
Chad: "what's up, lady?" He said and gave her his most handsome smile to her.
While on the otherhand...
Yoro: "what the hell with this sudden chill…"
Murmured Yoro as he got goosebumps all in a sudden.
Right now, Yoro was located deep inside the library. With no people nor sound could be heard around this part of the place.
As he had initially thought, this library was pretty huge compared to its outer appearances. He had been walking around this place while almost thinking he had lost in here. Fortunately, almost.
Because basically, all you could see in here was books and books no matter where you placed your eyes, and it was quite hard to differentiate the lane he was at with the other lane without good memories in his head. Moreover, this library was designed like a maze for some reason.
Right now, Yoro was sitting in one of the reading spots provided by the library at some quiet and lone corner, suiting himself with the new surrounding place and atmosphere. In front of him were piles, piles, and piles.
Pile of books of course.
Yoro: "umm….geography check, folklore check, and politics is check, al~right, I think I got all I wanted"
Yes, he came here mainly for studying and to adapt with this world, Eus. Ad, the administrator who was in charge with him obviously didn't tell him anything other than a very general common sense, and he needed to learn the other things by himself.
As he had initially thought, mana and strength was playing a fairly big part in this world, while science didn't develop, or even hadn't been founded yet in here. So instead of electronics, people here called it a magic device, a tool like the one on earth but powered and fueled up by mana.
The existence of mana really changed everything in the world it seems.
Some time then passed, until there were only some books left in front of him.
Yoro: "ah, this one is also written by an earthling."
When he looked at the cover and saw the writter, there was the written name Ryo Tereuchi, an obvious japanese name that was pretty rare and almost non existent in this world. He knew this thanks to the book he read earlier obviously.
Yoro: "But then why my parent named me like this I wonder"
He fell in thought when that fact entered his head, but not for long as he quickly shook it off and decided to ask them directly when they were back. This made him turn his head to the clock, which was now pointing at 14.30 PM.
Yoro: "Well I better get going then, or else I cannot buy the gift for my parents later." he msued to himself as he got up from his seat with a scrunched up eyebrows.
But after he walked for a while—
Yoro: "wait….Didn't I have already passed this section earlier?"
