- the next morning-
The sun was shining into the room through the window as I got up.
"I hope I didn't sleep too long but I guess I was really tired after everything that happened yesterday, so I can't really tell."
I am actually very passionate about my sleeping pattern, because in my opinion sleeping 8 hours a day, which should be the normal amount of sleep your body needs is just way too much time loss, well I didn't really have anything to do in the past with that time, so it wasn't that important, but now I should really try to use all of time.
"One of the first things I'm gonna try to achieve is minimizing my lost amount of time and being able to train while recovering my body, henceforth not loosing out on any time I could be using."
I put on my stolen clothes which I wore yesterday..
"Thinking about it, I was really lucky. I mean I actually managed to find a village with nice people, who get emotional when hearing stories such as the one I thought of by a 14 year old boy."
Well I guess if you act a bit and try to actually talk like you still can't process what happened people would be way more likely to actually believe you. Well also you have to be young, people would be way more cautious to help a grown up man I guess, even If he had such sad story.
I walked through the door of my room and walked down the stairs to the basement. While walking I am going through everything I had planned yesterday, I mean it would only be logical for them to be a bit suspicious of me.
Questions like "what was the name of your village", "where was it", "How did the monsters look who attacked you" and other questions like this.
I have an answer for probably everything the ask and if I don't know certain things that are common knowledge I can just tell them that my parents didn't really tell me anything, because I wasn't really interested in that stuff, our village was so far away from everything else that I didn't really need to know that and that I was more keen on learning how to work on a field, because my family owned one.
That should sound trustworthy, if you hear it from a young boy like me.
"Hey, Yori... sorry, but yesterday you told a lot so I forgot a few things, but firstly how are you today, are you better than yesterday?"
I used my best fake smile, which I used so many times in my previous life, but still didn't try to look too happy. Actually I guess I just put up a fake smile like you would do in a situation like this, when you don't want to worry anyone.
"Thanks I am a lot better compared to the last few days, thank you for everything you did for me."
"Oh it's nothing after all I couldn't just leave you alone could I? I mean it must have been pretty hard on you."
"Oh and I didn't tell you my name yet did I?"
"No you didn't but I am very interested to hear it If you would tell me, mister."
"Oh you don't have to be so polite when speaking to me. My name is Daisuke Yamato."
"Ok thanks again for everything you've done to me, mister Yamato."
"I already told you, no need to be so polite."
He gave me some bread which I thankfully ate and it tasted really nice, maybe because there's a different method of making bread in this world and of course different ingredients, but this is really worthy of being my first meal in this world.
While eating the bread I asked him for how long I had been asleep for.
"Oh by the way, do you know how long I slept for?"
"Oh I guess you slept about, let me think- maybe 10 hours, right now it's 7 am and the bar is going to open in about 1 hour."
"Oh ok thanks."
Well I predicted that but actually sleeping for 10 hours, what a shame, I mean I guess I couldn't have done much else but in my previous world I only slept about 6 hours a day and went to bed at maybe 11 pm at the earliest.
Well my body really needed the rest and there aren't any alarm clocks in this world are there, what a shame.
When i was done with eating, Daisuke finally began to ask me the questions, which I already thought of.
"Oh you're done eating. How did it taste?"
"Oh it was really nice it tastes a bit different from the bread we ate at home but it's also really good."
"Oh that's good to hear but on another note I have a few questions about your village and your situation, if you're not okay with answering those you don't have to, but it is also concerning this village, so I would appreciate it if you could answer them."
Yeah that's what I predicted, this could've been very bad if I wouldn't already be prepared, well I am not a complete idiot, so of course I would be prepared.
"Oh you are probably concerned about the safety of this village if those beasts would also come to this village and attack it, aren't you?"
"Yeah it's not just me, but other people also wanted to know, so we would really appreciate it I if you could tell us, what happened and where those beasts are right now."
"Ok I'll answer your questions, but I might not know some certain things, but I can tell you that I believe these beasts won't come to this village at least any time soon."
"Oh that's good to hear. Could you tell me why you think so?"
"Oh of course. So I might not be completely sure, because my memory is a bit foggy, but as far as I know I ran from my village the whole time into one direction. The beasts could've easily followed me and got me, because they were much bigger and were extremely powerful, so I guess they just didn't feel like it would be worth it to kill me, a young boy, who is running away.
Also they aren't here although I am here since yesterday, so I don't know why they wouldn't come into this village I mean with their manpower they would surely be able to do to this village what they did to mine a-"
I tried to, while speaking make myself become sadder and quieter the longer I was talking and eventually being unable to speak, as to make it as realistic as possible. And of course those beasts wouldn't come here it would really be funny if those beasts were to attack this village while I stay here, wouldn't it?
"I'm really sorry but the memories of these beast just came back and-"
He put his hand on my shoulder like a father would do to his children and told that it was okay and I wouldn't need to speak about it If it really hurt that much to do so.
"If you want to you can go back to your room or go outside and get some fresh air I think it would be good for you to think about everything alone."
"Thank you, mister. I think I will go outside for a bit."
"Ok but make sure to be back at lunch okay?"
"Yeah sure thanks, mister."
He really seems like a good person, and somehow I am happy. Is this how you feel, when you have nice father who really cares about you? Well not that I deserve it after I lied to him basically the whole time, but I guess there's certain things I just have to do right now.
