Twilight of Shepherd and Calamity

Ch.4 Modern life

" Talking about once you told me that the boy claimed to be a Shepherd in the past, is it true? He seems so innocent. Would he be the one remembered in the tale who purify our lord Maotelus?" The old lady asked after some days of observation.

"God knows. He said he has no money to pay and ask if we may let them help as a return."

"...Hard to think about what will be suitable for them, we barely know about them." The lady warned.

"Right, we should also provide them a residence."

"You wouldn't want to take them in, would you?"

"True, you know me too well."

"....I suppose that also a suitable way to keep them under our watch." The lady sighed for his kindness.

"Also, this..... and I think you are right, I feel sorry to the girl."

"You said they are not the same." She got that the doctor is talking about the girl in the lost tower.

"Indeed, that's why I won't let myself to make the same mistake. I won't leave my patient alone again."

Velvet POV

Almost a week pass by the day I installed the mechanic prosthesis.

 I try hard on the rehabilitation to gain the normal mobility of human. The view here really different from my time, the building here built by a stone like hard material, but it is not stone and it looks more smooth than a stone. 

The ornament of the building cannot be found, it is not like there is any status or carving on the edge of the building, but a smooth slab. 

The buildings nowadays are at least 20 times higher than that in my time. I realized that I woke up in an Age far far away from my time. The only thing I glad to see is that people live harmoniously with their free will, just like the view I saw in Aball. 

Guess that is the reason I find peace in this place, no more killing and struggling.

Being ignorant in this age and place, there isn't any complex work I may help with, but to start with some physical works. 

Even for physical works, text-reading is required, the word-form has changed a certain degree with time, so it is better to rely on someone to help on this. Luckily, the villagers are keen on helping me.

"Velvet, won't you need to take a rest?" my colleague asked.

"No thanks, I am fine," I answered as usual, despite the fact I am a bit tired. I would like to get used to the prosthesis and get back my past strength.

"....just don't overwork yourself." my colleague sighed as he knew it is hard to change my mind.

Sorey started working here earlier than me, but he isn't that reliable, he still lacks work experience, maybe it is because this is his first time to work. 

However, from the observation these days, he is just as ignorant as me that he has less common sense for the things nowadays.

In fact, since the day I met Sorey, I have thought that Sorey is a weird guy, for him to be a maniac about ruins and knowledge which the things I am not interested in.

Sure, Sorey is indeed a good person, as his appearance and character were perfect. But ... as the first impression, he was like hiding something big. In the evidence, he speaks nothing of himself and he explained it his loss of memory.
