Become A Human In Another World
ACT 1: Interlude 1 - Syila's story
POV: Leila
"Ahh, it's cold." I can only slow down in my sleep.
Am I sleeping? Nah! i fainted! Why did I faint, I can still clearly remember.
Wellh, I was also a little stupid by running towards it, but the more stupid one was Suzu! He ran to distract us, so we could run!
Isn't he stupid?!
No. gabe. Ii'm sorry. I was stupid for not being able to stop him.
We and a few other children were caught. They hit me on the nape, knocked me out instantly.
"Ahh, it's cold." Now that I was in an empty place, there was only me in this black place.
It's cold, it's dark. This may be a suitable place to reflect on everything. Hmm, isn't it like I'm going to die?
Hopefully not!
I remember my friend. I am a person who is often said to be smart by my friends. Although I do, my grades are higher. But I'm not that smart.
Although I'm considered smart, but I have a secret!
My hobby is reading novel books, especially novels with the romance genre!
Uhhh!! I always imagined that I would be kidnapped, then there was a prince who saved me, carrying me with the princess's sling.
Ahhh!!!! Imagining it all embarrassed me!
But unfortunately, I only had an incident, and no one saved me.
And stupidly, I was caught again when there were several opportunities to escape.
Uhhh! Remembering it all makes me feel even more stupid!!!
Alright. If there's nothing I can do here, I'll usually read a book. Unfortunately, there are no books here, right?
"Hmm, what about diary books? I never thought I would have consciousness even when I fainted!" I cried out while putting myself to sleep in that dark room.
Well, I wanted to make a diary, but I can't seem to write it here. Yahh, whatever.
I am Syila Royze, the only daughter of the Royze family.
My family is a top-caste family, because my father has a high standing in the Guild. That said, my father is the right-hand man of the Guildmaster.
I'm starting to get into 6 years old now. I don't mean to be arrogant, but I'm often said to be beautiful.
My hair is normal, blonde. I cut it short to a shoulder with a little bit of pigtailed.
And again, there are many people who have already submitted their applications to me!
Oi oi! isn't that too soon?
Wellh, I've heard that many upper-level people get engaged at 7 or even 6, but I'm not ready yet!
This is a good teenage age. So people say. Fuck that, I don't care.
As info, Suzu and Edna's sister have also been lamar many times!
But normally, people get engaged at the age of 11, then get married at the age of 15. That's normal in this world, because 15 is the age of adulthood. At the most distant, age 20.
Uhh, I want my partner to be the one I choose.
Right! I want to be free to choose my partner! And my father has also agreed to it, with a certain limit.
And even in class, I try not to stand out.
Uhh, I was a little troubled when I said my wish.
Honestly, I'm scared!
Every time I want to say something, it feels like my tongue is stiff, and I go back to swallowing my words.
People often say that I am clumsy, and find it funny. Please don't make this a joke.
?!
I felt a tremor, and I half woke up. I walked out of that dark room, and opened my eyes a little.
The fight is happening!
Someone in a black robe, and a hideous demon mask was fighting, no. Slaughtering that fellow vociferously.
It looks cruel, but I'm not afraid of this. For some reason, I felt his anger was a natural thing.
He moved the knife with a wit. I who read books often never even saw the movement.
Very smooth movement, and very effective. There were no gaps, nor any mistakes in his movements.
It's so beautiful, it's like a dance. I know, he must be a martial master.
Fighting, no. It can't even be said to be a fight.
The massacre was quickly completed, but he did not kill them all. Wh why? Why didn't he kill her?! They can be dangerous, right?
He finished his business with the kidnappers, then walked slowly towards the strange green-shining statue.
I get a little creepy just by looking at it. And I know, it's needed for this ritual.
(All right. Now, is he going to destroy it?) Oops! I'm starting to enjoy this!
He opened his demonic mask slowly. Visible silhouette face with beautiful fluttering black hair.
His face was young, but it looked full of strength and confidence. Again, I know his face!!
(Don't tell me, Ren?!) I'd scream if I could!
No. gabe. It can't be Ren! Ren is human!
No, wait! I heard he was a genius, and learned quickly. It wouldn't be strange if he could learn that celihai martial art!
He said something a little, and looked a little regretful. After that, he went outside.
(Wait! Don't you want to save us?) I can only scream in my heart.
Ahh, stop! I don't know what he's thinking either.
And not long after, he came back. I knew he wouldn't leave me! He lifted me up with a princess sling!
I could die of shame with this!
Awa wa wa wa wa! My dream came true! But, with Ren? Ren looks good too, I have no problem with him either!
Th-was-wait! Too soon to think he's Ren!
But even if it's Ren, I'm fine!
?!
He put me to bed? What's he gonna do? I didn't see it clearly, but he extended his hand towards the cave!
I couldn't believe it, but the "Ren" black hair was casting magic, something that revolved with fire and lightning inside.
Even I know, it's a great magic!
But a moment later, he vomited blood. Blood spurted from around his body, making the scene a bit terrifying.
At that time I tried my hardest to get up, trying to help him.
But the loud explosion coming from the cave surprised me. And that strange "Ren"-like man immediately hugged me, protecting me as we both flew, bouncing from the explosion just now.

"Uhh, where is this?" I could only babysit slowly, when I woke up.
Now I woke up staring at a different sky, and not on my own bed.
"This, where?" I'm a little dazed right now, but I know this isn't my home. And again, I feel pain to be able to move my limbs.
"What a very strange dream?" I could only murmur slowly, when suddenly the sound of the door opening.
I immediately turned my head, as if my senses were always telling me to be vigilant. It's just Dad.
"Came on! You're sober!" he shouted, immediately hugging me.
Wait, what does that mean? what the hell is going on?
"Dad! Le-let go! Oh, don't hug me like this! Please let me go! Explain what happened!" I tried to keep him away from me.
He slightly raised an eyebrow.
"Didn't you remember? You were escorted by Edna here! He said he found you passed out on the street! Did you run away with the others?" dad's story is long.
Me? Been kidnapped? Fainted?
"So, it wasn't a dream, was it?" I whispered softly. I remember the man who saved me, Ren!
"Then, dad! What about Ren?! Is she okay?" I screamed, remembering what I dreamed.
My father was silent for a moment, and then his facial water changed.
What's the matter? Did I ask you something wrong? I don't know.
My father stood up, seen on his face thinking about many things. I'm sure he's working very hard, to find the culprit.
"Dad, if you're tired, get some rest! Don't forget to rest! Whatever it is, don't push yourself!" I pulled my father's hand.
He smiled, as if he was starting to calm down.
"Yes. I won't push myself too much. I'm going back to work, so get some rest." Dad stroked my hair, then stepped out the door.
I can only breathe a sigh of relief.
Every now and then, I remember the dreams I had, making me smile. Whether it was a horrible experience, or a pleasant one, I don't know.
What is clear, I hope that there will be no more such terrible events like this!
