clack clack

In the large dining room, all that can be heard is the sound of the tableware clanging against each other. No one speaks, no one makes unnecessary noises.

So this is how it feels like to live in a noble household. Utterly boring.

''Amelia.''

''...''

''Amelia?''

Oh, it's me.

''Yes, father?''

''Can you tell me what happened?'' The relatively good-looking middle-aged man with the same blonde hair and blue eyes as me asks.

''...I was just feeling down. Nothing happened, Father.''

''I see. If you have any trouble, just tell me.''

''Yes, father.''

Well, at least this man seems to be a good father, both from the game and from what I've seen so far.

''Or, if you don't want to tell him, then come to me.'' The woman sitting opposite me speaks up.

''Yes, mother.''

Amelia's mother in the game wasn't mentioned much. But I guess this is where most of her beauty came from, with how beautiful her mother is.

Hah...

It's been a day since I've possessed this body. Getting used to this new environment was needlessly tiring and boring. There is virtually zero entertainment here. On top of that, my interactions with Amelia's family were and still are awkward, mainly because I have no idea how to treat them.

So, I decided to just gloss them over. The only thing I'm caring about right now is how to get stronger. Now, there are three main ways to do that in the game, one is leveling up, two is acquiring skills, and three is acquiring equipment.

Leveling up is straightforward, one just needs to defeat other creatures to gain experience to get to the next level, and your stats, except for INT, will increase along with it.

Skills can be either bought or acquired by fulfilling certain conditions. The main source of skills is from the shop, and therefore, skill points are very important as there are only a few ways to earn them. Fortunately, Amelia wasn't a fool. She chose her skills quite well, in fact. I just need to improve this body and its skills further.

And finally, equipment. These are called 'named items' in this world, and they are scattered all over the maps. I jotted down the ones that are easy to get, and ones that are broken already, so I just need to get them when I can. Most of them are in the academy or the evil forest, some are at other places.

I personally would love to have something like the absolute barrier necklace, or the gauntlet of severance first... But they're hard to get right now.

Hearing that, Nydia gulps nervously, but doesn't seem to be as scared as she used to be when she thought I got mad during the past two weeks.

''I'm sorry if I overstepped any boundaries.'' She bows her head.

''No, it's fine.'' I reply nonchalantly.

'''' ... ''''

What? You still want me to speak?

''Nydia.''

''Yes, My Lady.''

''Do you like boys or girls?''

''H-Huh?!''

What are you getting flustered for? You literally asked for it.

'''' ... ''''

''I-I think girls... My Lady.''

Figured. She's not a heroine for nothing. And fortunately for both Nydia and I, this world generally allows same-sex marriages. Maybe I'll marry Aurora in this world. Saves the hassle.

''Is that so.'' I reply nonchalantly. ''What type of girls do you like?''

''Eh...'' Nydia ponders again. ''I... Would like a bird girl just like me, maybe, heheheh...'' She scratches her cheek. ''How about you, My Lady?''

''I have a person I like already.'' I reply.

''Really?! Can you tell me who it is??''

I would love to, but she's not in this world. I don't want to sound like I have an imagined crush.

''Go fetch me some tea.''

''Eh~'' Nydia pouts, but still obeys my order.

But a bird girl, huh... I wonder what Aurora would look like with a pair of wings.

''...''

gulp

That might be really hot.
