Chapter 123: A Peaceful World

"Oh, sorry about that~" I quickly closed the door and covered my penis, which wasn't even erect right now, which was more than enough to give the girl the shock of her lifetime. "...And could you please stop staring down there, since it's a little bit embarrassing for me to show such a sight to a pretty lady as yourself."

"O-Oh right, I'm sorry as well..." The girl muttered as her eyes reluctantly dragged off from where my bulge was supposed to be, and gave a shy look when she heard me call her pretty. She then handed me a small package and said, "The Vanitas family, right...I'll need your sign right here and your relation to the recipient, Abigaille Vanitas, to be mentioned above."

I grabbed the package she was handing over, and after giving it a quick glance, I took the booklet and pen in her hand and wrote 'Son of Abigaille Vanitas' and signed my name underneath, which was the first official document I had signed under my family's name in this world that made me feel more like a resident in the foreign world.

And just as the girl was about to take the booklet from my hand, I gently held on to her hand since I had a doubt I wanted to ask, which made her jerk up, but she didn't really resist, as if she didn't mind that I was holding her hand, and made her look up at me shyly, like she was waiting to see what I was trying to do.

"About your skin..." I wanted to ask if people of her skin colour were common in this world, but I didn't know how to go about it without sounding like it was my first day in this world.

Luckily, the girl picked up what I was trying to ask and said, while showcasing her hand to me,

"My skin? You mean my variant skin colour? Is there something wrong with it?"

Judging by how she wasn't showing any drastic reaction to my question, it was obvious that her skin colour was somewhat common in this world, and there were probably more people like her out there that I hadn't met yet.

But the way I was admiring her skin colour, which I had never seen before, seemed to have brought a misconception to the girl's mind as she asked me in a dejected manner, as if she were sad that I didn't have the same opinion as her,

"...I-Is it that you don't like this skin colour of mine? Do you find it unpleasing to your eyes?"

I haven't really explored this world yet, but judging by what I saw now when I looked at the neighbouring houses and the scene I saw when I went out to look at the surroundings from my balcony last night, that's what it looked like.

From what I observed in the vicinity of my house, I was in some middle-sized town that was away from the busy city and was situated in what seemed to be an agricultural settlement, judging by the green rice fields I saw in the far distance.

And not only were their agricultural fields away in the distance from the residential area and the town, there were also green mountains, small hills, forests, etc, which made it seem like they had built this town on top of what was a village or rural area in the past, or probably a village that had developed into a prospering town.

The view from the top of my house showed that the town, which was away from the residential area, was hustling and bustling, judging by how bright its lights shined in the night. And it showed that it was the same as any modern town with a relatively dense population, the only difference being that it was surrounded by agricultural land and nature and was far away from the usual concrete landscape.

That was also why the air I breathed in felt so fresh and cool, and how I could clearly see the starry night, which I would never be able to see in a pollution-ridden city that was covered in smog and the exhaust from vehicles.

The residential area I was in also seemed quite clean and neat, resembling a tight-knit neighbourhood you would see in Japan, only that there were more western-style houses with a more compact design and small yards in the front.

My house was actually an exception to what I said, as it looked to be the biggest house in the neighborhood. And it looked to be a recently built house that looked quite modern and elegant, which showed that my family seemed to be quite well off in this world, or at least belonged to the higher bracket of the middle class.

Speaking of a higher bracket, why haven't the highest existences of all that existed, the Gods, still not sent me my request completion message that they would normally send after successfully finishing a request? Don't tell me that I somehow actually failed my request and am going to be turned into manure any second now.

Ding~

And just when I was wondering which world's soil I would be dumped in if I were to really be turned into compost, I received the completion message from the Gods, which made me heave a sigh of relief knowing that I wasn't going to be having worms eating me up and pooping me right out yet, like the compost I was supposed to be.
