Protection
“Oh, it’s unusual to see a person from another world.”
Mr. Gordon – the doctor of the village and the one who picked me up — said frankly.
He said it so openly. No, no I have to be cautious of this man. No matter how you look at it, he’s suspicious.
As I was thinking about this situation I was in, he casually dropped a bomb while asking if I like to have tea.
“It’s just so rare to see people coming to this world, though there have been some who came to this village a long time ago.”
What! There were other people too!
“Legend said that in the forest, a traveler will appear whose appearance and clothes are different than ours. They are the ‘Travelers- in-between’ and will bring this world much knowledge.”
“‘Traveler- in-between?’”
“They come from another universe away from this world, but they only leave behind achievements here. Since then, ‘journey to the new world’ is a belief that came from that story.”
Ah, I see.
There are barely any details to go on. Wistfully, I thought that I wanted to return back home safely, but with the lack of information to go on, it’s highly unlikely I’ll be able to go back.
To live here until my death, what the heck.
While I was thinking of such things, the doctor, opening tons of books, continued to explain.
“It’s also said that they have the apt.i.tude for magic…”
“There’s magic here?”
“Of course there is, you do have magic, right?”
……….
……….
………. Are you serious?
I tilted my head to the side in confusion, but the doctor remained relaxed upon seeing my expression. Magic, as in that kind of magic?
The one from online gaming, but this can be used in real life?
My first day here and there’s already a development?!
“You see…..I came from a world without magic….”
The doctor’s expression peaked with interest, curiosity even. I kind of understand the feeling too. I’m itching to test magic myself.
A magician…that has a nice ring to it!
“Would you like to try it?”
“Yes!”
I smiled.
Good communication is the best!
From his excited state of mind right now, it looks like the effects of his age disappeared.
Wasn’t he probably in his 50s?
His pupils practically shone with curiosity and the airs around him sparkled with excitement, making him seem very boyish.
Truthfully…he is too honest to be an enemy. Though I thought about such a thing for an instant, did I prefer this kind of individual?
By far, I’m happy to meet someone who I can talk to about this kind of stuff. And while I’m in this world, I can research as much as possible by using him!
Anyway, why not finish this tea that he made.
….Doctor, I won’t run away, so can you please calm down.
