02 Tata
After flipping through the notes, Ann still couldn't think of anything.
But I have an idea of the situation I'm in. For example, this place is called Xingmu Village, although it is said to be a village, but it is actually close to the scale of a small town.
Judging by Ann's complaints about this place in the notes, it seems to be very remote. However, my father is the village chief here, and his life is not bad.
"Chaos Rift? What is that? But the kobold monster at the door claims to be Tata. ”
"From the diary, it seems that for the real Ann, he is indeed a very close person. Well, I'll have to find a reason to prevaricate, but that guy looks like a monster, right? He's a good friend? What the hell is this place? Shouldn't this be a dream?"
Ann couldn't tell the difference, her thinking began to be a little disordered, she urgently needed an anchor point to refer to to define whether she was in a dream or not, but if this was a dream, then everything would feel too real. She wondered if something was wrong with her or the world.
She picked up the book "A Brief History of Elantra", although she was only a beggar before, but at least she knew that the country she was in was called Elantra, and she didn't know much about the history of her country, but she had heard a little bit about it when she was begging in taverns or near crowded places.
[Chaos Rift? What is it?] Although I heard more people in it boast about their adventures, I had never heard of anything like Chaos Rift. ]
No, I remember the people in the tavern saying it's a dust calendar. What is the star descending calendar?]
In the year 154 of the Star Descending Calendar, a massive abyssal rift appeared, and then the true god performed a miracle to save the world.
[Chaos Nest? What is that?] Does it have anything to do with the Chaos Rift mentioned in Ann's diary? ]
In the year 171 of the Star Descending Calendar, the false gods brought a species from another world that claimed to be a foreign people.
I remember that the Eternal Church called its faith the true God who controls everything, and the false gods, I think it was their derogatory name for other faiths. But there is no mention of the Eternal Sect in the book, and it has been replaced by the Tranquility Sect, and there is no information about the country of Dural, which is clearly at war with us. Isn't there a country like Dural in this world? Maybe that's a good thing, too. ]
In the year 171 of the Starfall Calendar, he discovered the orcs and began to negotiate with them.
[Orcs?, do you mean the kind of Tata outside the house? It does look like a beast.] I don't know what the aliens are like. ]
Ann casually flipped through the book and found that she had no difficulty reading the contents on it. But as one after another things that I had never heard of appeared in the book, the more I looked at it, the more confused I became, and finally I could only come to the conclusion that I was really in a dream, and then pinched myself hard, but I cried out in pain.
"Shhh It hurts to death. Why am I so obsessed with whether I am in a dream now? Isn't this a good thing now, even if it is a dream, it is a sweet dream, and I should not expect this dream not to wake up. Ann rubbed her face and said with a little pain.
Just then, there was a knock at the door.
“... Who?"
The door was opened, but only diagonally slit, and Tata's voice came from outside the door: "Although your mother has fed you porridge before, if you are hungry now, I can also go to the kitchen to help you get something to eat." ”
"Uh... Just that... I'm sorry. I really didn't recognize it. Well... After all, you know... The change is a bit big. ”
"It's okay, do you want something to eat?"
"Okay. ”
"I'll go to the kitchen and get ready. Then a rush of footsteps faded away, and it sounded like Tata was running, but it wasn't long before Tata ran back again.
"Hmm... The kitchen was preparing for a dinner party in the evening, and your father was going to celebrate your awakening, so I just took a little bread and a slice of bacon. Let's just cushion my stomach for the time being. With that, Tata passed the tray through the crack in the door.
"Uh... Come in and talk, how long have I been asleep?"
"Men can't go into a girl's bedroom, and if your father knows that I'm in your bedroom, even if he knows I didn't do anything, then... Well... Ahem. But in a moment we can go to the secret base. Well, you've been asleep for almost four years now. While talking about Ann's comatose time, Tata's voice was a little low and he sighed, "I'm sorry. ”
[Hmm, men can't go into girls' rooms, it looks like this should belong... The rules of the aristocracy. Ann rubbed the tip of her nose, and it seemed that she still had a lot to learn, otherwise she might make a joke.
"What time is it?"
"At noon on February 5th. ”
"I'm asking how many years the star is in the current calendar. Forehead...... I know it's a bit stupid, but that, I'm hurt, right...? so people are a little drowsy," Ann explained with some embarrassment.
"The year 1104 of the Star Descending Calendar. ”
[Well, the names of the seasons don't seem to have changed, just the almanac.] ]
Ann walked to the door and picked up the bread, and took a bite gently, the soft taste made her almost cry with happiness, she used to only eat those black hard bread mixed with sawdust to satisfy her stomach, and now she could finally eat a bite of real bread, she once again doubted whether she was living in a dream, pinched herself hard, and once again it hurt her "hiss..."
In a few moments, Ann swept away the bread and bacon, and she burped unsightly, the first time she could remember eating it like this.
"How do you feel?" Tata greeted Ann as she seemed to hear Ann's burp. "I think this is the first time you've eaten enough in a few years, after all, you drank porridge every day when you were unconscious. ”
[Actually, I'm curious about how I solve it every day, but I think it's better to never know the answer to some questions.] ]
"Well, I'm full, well, thank you... Thank. Ann opened the door, and as soon as she opened it, she saw Tata, but this time Ann was mentally prepared, although she still felt a little flustered when she looked at him, but she was not as out of shape as she was at the beginning.
"These four years are in the development period of orcs. We were about the same height before you fell unconscious, and now... Well.... As he spoke, Tata made a stroke, which probably meant that Ann was only as high as his chest, "I hope you don't mind the way I look now." ”
"Can I go out for a walk now? It feels like a waste not to go out in this weather. "Ann wants to get acquainted with her surroundings.
"Don't you want to take any more breaks?"
"Uh... Well...... Thank you for your concern, but I think I've rested enough and I want to go out for a walk. An Ke didn't want to lie in bed for an afternoon, and when she arrived in an unfamiliar environment, she was more familiar with the surrounding rules of survival.
"Well, where do you want to go? Nothing has changed here during your coma, except that the Tranquility has built a church here. ”
"Hmm... Well, I don't really want to go to a church like that. Other than that, I want to walk around. Ann seemed to think of something, and there was a hint of disgust in her eyes as she talked about the church.
"Are you going to the secret base we used to set up? I've been taking care of it since you fell unconscious. "Tata seemed proud.
"Ah?...... Hmmm!Okay~ Go ahead. Ann coped casually, anyway, she just wanted to get acquainted with her surroundings, it didn't matter to her where she went, as long as she didn't go to the place where there were only lies.
Soon Tata left the small estate with her.
