That Time I Started A Life In Another World

Date

I stand at the entrance to Crusch's manor.

I was waiting for Caroline to come here.

She wasn't late - I was early.

Even though I don't really like her, going on a date with someone still weighs heavily on me, huh. But still... is that really a reason to come 35 minutes early?!

I know that I'm a pushover and a nervous freak, but really?! 35 minutes?!

But no matter how much I ridiculed myself, nothing would improve.

I've been slowly getting rid of my social anxiety, but it was nowhere near gone.

I actually started getting rid of it even in my old world, but the progress back then was too small for me to notice.

But now that I have the time to analyze my decisions... I definitely became less anxious.

Goddammit! I'm getting off topic again! Focus!

Right. A date.

I'm waiting for Caroline to go on a date with her.

To be honest, she's beautiful, but that's all.

I've seen a lot of people that I've considered beautiful, so she was nothing special.

Talking about her like that makes me feel like a bad person.

But it was the truth.

I didn't feel any kind of special way towards her.

Sure, I would get flustered if she kissed me or something, but that's normal.

To be completely honest, I don't even know what my sexuality is.

I'm pretty sure I'm straight, but I've never fallen in love, so I can't say for 100%.

For all I know I could be Aromantic. (Has sexual desires, but doesn't feel romantic attraction.)

I'm getting off topic again, aren't I?

*slap*

Alright. Don't go off topic this time!

...

But then what do I do to pass the time?

I mean, I look at the time crystal in the time tower, I still have 30 minutes to waste. Not much I can do besides go off topic.

And so I started thinking about the most random of topics:

Random inventions that wouldn't work without electricity.

What the hell are we going to do on this date? Should I have come more prepared?

Impractical combat techniques.

Why am I so nervous? I don't even like her.

Ways to combat different characters in this verse.

Am I nervous because she's beau-

Okay this is clearly getting out of hand. Every second thought I have is about how nervous I am about this date.

And also - why is this the longest 30 minutes of my fucking life?

I look at the time tower.

Why has only 4 minutes passed?!

I look at a random person. They were in slowmotion.

I was using Thought Acceleration this entire time?! And here I thought that it was good because it always automaticaly turns on whenever I need it. But it just turns on whenever I'm deep in thought!
