Chapter 80 – A New World
I couldn’t sleep all night. The bed was warm and comfortable, but that wasn’t the problem. This wasn’t just a new place it was a completely foreign world to me. A different dimension, a continent I didn’t recognize, skies with a softer hue than my own, and air that felt... more alive.
All I could do was stare at the ceiling, tossing and turning until I finally drifted off just before dawn.
When I finally woke up, sunlight was shyly peeking through the window slits. I let out a soft sigh and sat up, rubbing my eyes. My hair was a mess, sticking out in all directions. The pajamas I wore felt a little tight, especially around the chest probably because they belonged to Velthya. I didn’t mind the simple and feminine design, but the size clearly wasn’t meant for my body.
I lazily got up and walked to the back of the house. Here, water was still drawn from a well quite the contrast to the modern systems I had seen in some human cities back in my world. But the water from this well was fresh unbelievably so. Its chill caressed my skin like a mountain breeze untouched by pollution. I splashed my face, trying to feel more awake.
After drawing the water and feeling a little more alive, I returned to the house. As I passed through the living room, I saw Velthya sitting casually, enjoying her lunch. The aroma of warm soup and toasted bread filled the air.
"Good afternoon, Sylvia," Velthya greeted with a light wave.
I nodded and replied, "Afternoon. I’m going to change first. These pajamas are too tight... especially around the chest."
I glanced down at my chest, which was slightly squished by the fabric, then headed into the room.
Behind me, I caught a glimpse of Velthya’s expression turning sour. She glanced at her own chest, which was... well, rather flat. Even beneath the fabric, it looked like a grassland waiting for the first sprout of growth. I nearly burst out laughing at the image but held myself back.
