01 Ann
On February 5, 1104 in the Star Descending Calendar, a happy event occurred in the village of Hoshiki.
The village chief's daughter, who had been in a coma for four years, woke up today, so he decided to hold a celebration party and invite the people of the village to celebrate his daughter's awakening, at least for this remote village, it is not a bad thing to have free food and drink.
When the villagers outside ran to tell each other because of this news, the village chief's daughter: Ann. Lying in bed with nothing to do.
She didn't know what she was supposed to do now, and even though the people here had taken her down, she was still worried that she would find out that she was just an imposter because of her unusual behavior.
After all, because she had heard that the nobles were very concerned about etiquette, and she didn't know anything about it.
She was still wondering why she woke up from a homeless person to a rich lady, although she was only the daughter of a village chief, but in her opinion, such a status was already very superior.
She had heard rumors of the nobility and thought that that kind of life would only be a fantasy in her head, but when the fantasy became a reality, she realized that she did not know what she should do now.
Wanderers, this is just a nice way to say, and if you use other people's names for such people, they are usually called beggars. Ann had a terrible past, and most of the time she did beg for a living, and become a thief if necessary, or worse.
"Well, let's walk around first. "Ann opened the closet in the room, and the clothes in the closet were all new, and it seemed that even while 'her' was unconscious, her parents were buying new clothes for her, waiting for her to wake up.
"What a blessing...... Ann's smile was a little... Deprecating.
It's so good, I didn't even know what my parents looked like. Ann thought with some envy, and at the same time changed her clothes with her hands and feet, as if her body no longer had the powerlessness she had when she first woke up.
After changing her clothes, Ann tiptoed to the door, opened the door gently, and habitually poked her head out to look out, her movements were very quiet and skillful. Although in reality she didn't have to be like that at all.
"Ann, what's wrong, what are you looking at, are you going to rest again?" When she finished looking down the corridor on the left, she was about to look back when a question and concern came from behind her head, but as soon as she turned her head, she saw a kobold monster looking at her with a puzzled expression.
The monster was much taller than her, with silver-gray hair.
"Ah!!h
The door slammed shut, and she slid back into her bed, trembling uncontrollably.
"What is that? I haven't seen this monster in a drawing book, but why is he wearing clothes? and greeting me?" Ann was sure she had never seen anything like it before, although she had seen some of the mercenaries in the tavern with long fur on their limbs like wild beasts, but no matter how they were, they had human heads, what was that thing at the door?
She'd never seen anything that looked like a beast.
"Uh... I'm sorry, Ann, did I scare you? Did I scare you? I'm Tata, and although I've grown a little bit in the past four years, but... It wouldn't be like that, would it?" the orc who called himself Tata stood outside the door, his voice a little embarrassed.
"That night I thought I should have stopped you. Even if it makes you hate me then, it's better than being in a coma for four years like I am now. I've been at the door, and if there's anything you want to say to me, I've been here. I've been waiting for you to wake up, just like your parents. Tata stood in the doorway, and said through the crack in the door to Ann, who was curled up under the covers, his expression very guilty, and he closed the door and stood in the door again.
Ann hid under the quilt and didn't dare to make a sound, until she heard the sound of the door closing again, and Ann nervously peeked out of the sheet and looked at the door vigilantly.
Just forgot to lock the door
She poked her head out to look at the door that had been reclosed, a little scared.
Luckily, it didn't mean anything towards me, and it sounded like he and I knew each other? It's weird, what's wrong with the world. Inexplicably, she thinks of me as a big lady, and there are more like this... Monster?
Ann forced herself to compose herself, and kept telling herself that she was safe now, but her nervousness could still be expressed through her tail.
Maybe I'm making too much of a fuss, I haven't seen the world of nobles beforehand, maybe it's a normal thing for nobles.
After lying on the bed for a while, after giving an excuse that she didn't believe much, she turned out of the bed again and looked in the direction of the door: Do you want to talk to the guy at the door? No, he seems to know me, and I don't know anything, and I may be found flawed. I'd better see what information I have about myself in this room first.
Thinking about it, Ann's eyes fell on the wooden table by the window, on which were stacked with boxy things
Those things... Called... But what is a book?
Ann walked over to the wooden tabletop, where a notebook was placed at the top of the stack, with a herbarium made of yellow rose petals inserted into the notebook
This is Ann's notebook. But why do I know this?
Ann looked at the notebook and felt very wrong, everything here was obviously very unfamiliar, but why did she seem to know these things?
Ann continued to look at the other books in the pile: "A Brief History of Elantra", "Basic Elementology", "Rift Adventure", "Introduction to Magic", these books are all inserted with the same bookmark, it seems that Ann has read these before. But he is just a beggar wandering on the streets, what can he understand?
Ann smiled helplessly, and then the smile froze on her face: "I... When did you recognize these words?"
Ann then opened a book and flipped through it casually, she was sure that she had not studied words, and her understanding of words was only a few words that she was familiar with on the street, such as a few words on the signs in taverns or shops, after all, she had heard a lot and probably knew what symbols and what sounds, but it was definitely impossible for her to read the notices in the tavern, but now as she flipped through them, she found that she could understand all the contents.
Is I really Ann? My past was just a long, long dream? What the hell is going on? Am I really Ann? What is my previous experience? I remember everything that happened before I woke up here, even though I seem to have forgotten something. But for this place, I don't have any memories of this place at all.
After closing the book, Ann felt an inexplicable fear in her heart, she looked at the diary that belonged to Ann, took it and sat back on the bed, stunned to look at the place where the name was written in the notebook.
"Maybe I'm really Ann, maybe I can think of something by looking at the notes. ”
Ann muttered to herself as she flipped through her notebook, wanting to see what Ann had recorded before.
The notebook does record what happened before, but most of it is trivial and complaining about his parents who are hindering him from pursuing his dreams. Indeed, the name Tata is often mentioned in the notes, and he is the adopted son of his father's deceased best friend to the family.
Although at the beginning, the diary was full of bad words about Tata, because Ann felt that Tata's arrival made her father pay less attention to herself, but slowly the description of Tata in the diary was not so disgusting, and later Ann had fully accepted Tata, which was also a childhood sweetheart.
At the end of the note, it is mentioned that she used her renunciation to coerce Tata into helping him get out of the backyard at night, and she will bring some 'loot' from the Chaos Rift back to prove herself.
That's the end of the note, and the development after that, Ann probably guessed...
