The people who live in this world
Being fairly popular in my previous life and having experience with women, I’ve experienced the sensual pleasures.
Naturally, I seemed to have experienced love as well.
However, the difference was it was from a male standpoint, the current me has no experience.
The me in j.a.pan, since becoming aware (recalled my previous life’s memory) of the things around me, went to school during the day, then to the dojo after returning home and jogged to increase my stamina. After beginning cooking, my time is used for meal preparations and making sweets, occasionally I go out and play with friends.
As far as socializing with boys, there were almost no opportunities for any encounters. Even in middle school when I began learning Aikido in a dojo, it was mostly women taking lessons in the art of self defence. The instructor was a woman too, the only males were several elderly men. I never had an encounter with them.
Even if I encountered someone, because of my appearance I believe I wouldn’t even become a target of affection.
It was also the case that I wasn’t personally interested but…
The personal experiences in love are what I hear from my cla.s.smates, like which idol or actor is attractive, like who in which school is good looking.
Of course, even though it’s an ojou-sama school, not everyone acts like a lady.
Although there are people who have lovers or in an adult relationship, however as far as I know, those type of people haven’t appeared in my daily life.1
In other words.
It appears I’m an ojou-sama which has too much superficial knowledge about s.e.x.
…But now that I remember, I led quite an unromantic life ne.
While recalling about myself in j.a.pan and what I should be doing in this situation, the carriage seems to have stopped.
We seemed to have arrived at the Royal Capital.
Fortunately, this is the only thing that washes me away from my current situation.2
「Prince, we appear to have arrived. Let’s get off.」
By now the sky has become considerably dark. I need to quickly search for an inn for tonight.
The Royal Capital, saying that the public order shouldn’t be too bad but, after coming to a town with some money through all that trouble, I don’t want to be sleeping outdoors in this situation.
「So it seems」
The Prince answers briefly.
It appears the Prince has pretending this situation hasn’t happened.3
At this rate I’ll have to think of a way to drag him out…
Immediately, as I’m about to open the carriage’s door, immediately, the door was opened from the outside.
Unexpectedly, because of my posture, which was when I was about to lay my hands on the door, I start to fall out the carriage.
In that several instance, I fall, my body stiffens up, but the impact which I imagined didn’t arrive, on the contrary I’m bewildered by the feeling of being pulled from behind.
「Wasn’t your reflexes good? Be careful.」
Examining the little astounded tone which came from behind me, the Prince was grabbing onto the bag I was carrying on my back.
It seems I was pulled back from behind.
One way or another, although I want to retort back, the result is that I’ve been helped.
I’m not a child who can’t say thanks. I’m a splendid adult.
「Thank you very much.」
My tone turned a little sulky as I behaved ingratiatingly.4
After getting off the carriage, there were knights lined up before my eyes.
Could it be my imagination that I don’t see the faces of half the knights we travelled together with?
And the number of knights are greater than the number of people we came with, it feels like there’s a lot.
Furthermore, a well dressed…n.o.ble…? A man around 50 years old stood.
This man is also tall. My neck is getting tired from looking up.
This world, what’s going on with it. Are everyone giants?
Which reminds me, for the「Human race」of this world, my knowledge of the average height of adults are 185cm for males, 170cm for females.
Everyone are generally huge ne. This world, enemies are everywhere ne.
My current explanation may not include everyone, but the human beings in my world are known as the「Human race」in this world, other than them there are also other races living here.
To start off, the familiar fantasy races, the「Elf race」and「Dwarf race」are known as a「Sprite race」.
「Elf race」are a race which have high affinity with magic, most elves can use elementary level magic.
Of course, there are elves who are mages among them.
Usually their tribes will build a settlement within a forest, they making a living from hunting and magic. Concerning their life in a forest, they’re skilful at handling a bow.
Although their lifespan isn’t over several hundred years like in most cases in novels, it’s longer than the Human race still, I’m sure it’s around 200 years. Incidentally there are many beauties. Ah, their ears are long too.
Like the「Human race」, they become adults at 15 years of age, it seems the average height of a male is 180cm, and the average height of a female is around 165cm.
By the way, from my knowledge, the lifespan of the「Human race」 is 100 years.
Next is the「Dwarf race」but, their characteristics are different from the short, muscular and hairy faced old men with many craftsmen among them.5
Maa, it’s roughly like that but, even though their average heights are short, there are some Dwarves that are around 180cm. Male Dwarves are mostly muscular and gori-macho.
Many Dwarves will become craftsmen, about half the Magic Technician’s are from the「Dwarf race」
Similar to how the「Elf race」places their settlements but, they reside in various places like mountainous regions, plains, the proximity of forests and downtown areas.
Dwarves that live in mountainous regions make a living off processing ores, in the plains they do agricultural work, and in the proximity of forests they do agricultural, forestry and woodworking it seems.
Of the「Dwarf race」, around 40 percent are in mountainous regions, around 30 percent in agricultural areas, downtown has approximately 10 percent, and the remaining work in forestry.
Like the「Elf race」, the「Dwarf race」’s lifespan is around 200 years and they become adults at 25 years of age, supposedly the average height of males are 160cm, females are around 155cm.
The race’s trait other than their stature
The features of the race, other than height, are their small pointed ears and better physique compared to other races.
Saying that the「Elf race」as well as the「Dwarf race」are especially unsociable isn’t right, each respective race interacts with other races throughout their live.
Unlike some novels, the「Elf race」and the「Dwarf race」aren’t on bad terms, rather, their relationship is pretty good compared to other races.
The「Sprite race」can be usually seen in towns, there are some who serve the country among them.
Besides that is the「Beastmen race」, a portion live within their own settlements, while most of the「Beastmen race」live within the towns of the「Human race」.
If I’m right, the characteristics of the race is a trait of an animal somewhere on their body.
The so-called animal ears and tail, ne.
「Beastmen race」are generally specialized in physical ability, each carrying their own animal trait. The cat beastmen are fast, dog beastmen have a good sense of smell and thorough physical strength.
Although I say it’s their specialization, their race’s sufficiency in magic is low, the probability that a「Beastmen race」becoming a「Magic Technician」are roughly none.
Judging by the comprehensive level of physical ability, compared to the other races, they have a small advantage, but there shouldn’t be a difference when including other fields of specializations.
Unlike other races, their lifespan and height differs from each other, I believe the lifespan is 80 years to 120 years, height of a male is 170cm to 220cm, females are 160cm to 200cm.
By the way, the「Beastmen race」is a race few in numbers, fairly certain the amount of people is only 20 percent compared to the「Human race」.
I have a feeling that I’ve heard this has occurred but, very rarely when Beastmen grow up into adults, they’re able change into an animal form.
Other than the races which converges towards the「Human race」, Goblins and Kobolds, giants, such as Orcs and Ogres, are referred to as the「Demi-human race」which are hostile towards the「Human race」, there are also other races such as magic beasts and the Dragon race.
From my knowledge, towards the「Human race」,「Sprite race」and「Beastmen race」, the「Demi-human race」will mostly attack without question, treating them as slaves at times.6
Magic beasts will act similarly, their aggression is no different to a beast, they have a large body with a practically ferocious nature.
Because the「Demi-human race」and magic beasts are hostile towards people, they’ve become targets of subjugation for adventurers, the subjugation requests are supposedly dealt with by the adventurer guild.
The Dragon race have large individual differences, they’re close to magic beasts but their intelligence is no less of the「Human race」, with various mild natures.
However, the Dragon race generally have high abilities, they’re not an opponent for adventurers who are low leveled.
It’s a cheat race.
If you come across the Dragon race, it’s recommended that you run away.
By the way, who am I explaining this to…?
Feeling down after being reminded of the height differences, “No, I’m still 15 years old, my growth period is only beginning”, while comforting myself with those words, the Prince, the Squad Captain and the n.o.ble-like uncle are chatting together while glancing at my direction.
What is it? As I gazed over, their conversation seems to have ended, from the Prince-
「Sakura, follow me because I need to give you your reward.」
was what he said.
I look up at the dark sky, as I was thinking, “do whatever you want about the reward but I want to be introduced to an inn”, the Prince’s party started walking into my field of view, because of that I panicked and followed along.7
