After the woman and the girl, which I found out from Annette memories as her mother and Onee-chan, cried happily for my recovery, they forced me to take a rest on the bed.

"You just recovered, Annette, so take some rest!"

"But-"

"No buts!"

The one who said that was her mother, I think her name is Vittorica-san. While she looks stern, but deep down, she's worried about me. To make her stop worrying, I just comply with what she said while she sat next to me and her nee-san leave the room.

But still, am I have a right to call her mom? I mean, I'm her daughter physically, but I'm not spiritually.

"Is there something you want, Annette?"

Since she wanted to give me something, then I know what I want right now.

"Then, a notebook, an ink, and a quill."

"Okay, a... What? Is that really what you want?"

She made a confused expression after hearing what I said. Maybe it's not normal for a children in my age (physically) for wanting something slightly mature, not the R-18+ one of course. But still, I need those items if I want to adapt to this fantasy-like world.

"Yeah."

"But still, you might be-"

"No."

"Then, how about another-"

"I have one."

"Let me finish what I said first!"

Sorry about that, Vittorica-san, I guess my bad habit as Yuko still with me even in this new world and new body. And when she said another, I'm sure she's talking about plushies. I don't need another one because the handmade from her Onee-chan is more than enough.

She sighed and shook her head. Then she glanced at me.

"We're no longer using quills to write. So, how about pen?"

Pen is already invented? Then it's much better. So I nodded for her suggestion.

"Okay then, a notebook and a pen. Just take a rest and be a good girl, okay?"

"Yeah, thank you... Mom."

I'm hesitated to call her my mother, but if I don't, she will questioned me. And even worse... she will kick me from this house.

Before she walked to the door, she stood in there for a while, not moving. She might be thinking about something, until she said a single word.

"'Mom...'?"

I realize that it's not how Annette call her mother. Panic started to arise again while I'm thinking the best way to ignore what I said.

Then she turned at me while giving me a smile to reassure me.

"It's okay, Annette. No need to be panic. Annette is a growing girl after all."

Did she not realize it? If so, then I'm glad. I really don't deserve that kindness. Still, I need to prepare myself mentally if they realize who I am.

After that she left the room to get me a notebook and a pen. Leaving me alone, staring at the ceiling.

Another world... To think that trope is actually real. Well, I'm sure that Makoto-kun, my otaku friend, will be excited if he's the one to be send in this world, especially if there are a lot of kemonomimi girls.

Another thing I'm thinking about is 'Satou-san'. If she's me, then how she can go back to Earth? And those red prosthetic right arm of hers, how did she lose her arm?

I never ask her about that because it felt personal for her. But if I'm going to lose my right arm, then I need to find a way to prevent it.

From what I dream about Annette, monsters also exist in this world. So, if one of them will be the one who cause it, then I need to get stronger... stronger enough to survive, or at least not losing my right arm. If monsters exist, then magic too, like the one used by the priestess to cure her, but fail.

Hopefully there are also other races in this world other than human, like elves, dwarves, demons, and many more.

I couldn't help but excited for this new life. Maybe this is what every isekai protagonist feels for the first time. Since this is a fantasy isekai, I need to see my stats. And the magic word for that is...

"Appraisal!"

But nothing shown.

That was weird. I mean, every protagonist from power fantasy isekai light novel able to do that. Maybe that's not the correct word, so I'll try once again with different wording.

"Status!"

Still the same.

"Check! Show! Identify! P**C*re! Henshin! P*k*dex!"

The author's tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.

Everything I said is resulting the same, none.

It's so frustrating! How can I see my stats if I don't know how to do it!? Don't tell me, those were nonsense in this world!?

"If you want to see your stats without tools, then it's expensive, Annette."

I heard a girl said something to me. When I look at her, it was the girl with shoulder length black hair and purple eyes.

She is Annette's adoptive Nee-san, Nia-san.

"Nee-san..."

"'Nee-san...'?"

"I-I mean-"

"You can call me that if you want. But I still want you to call me Onee-chan like before."

While I was glad for her being understandable, but somehow, I need to be careful with her. Could it be... She's a siscon?

Then, she sat near me while giving me a notebook and a pen.

"Are these...?"

"Mother is busy right now, so she asked me to give these to you."

"I see. Then, what about your dismantling job?"

"I take a day off to spend my time with my cute imouto."

She said that excitedly while hugged me. She might be a siscon, but I let it slide for now.

Then I remember about appraisal being expensive, so I decided to ask her about it.

"...Nee-san, what do you mean by 'expensive'?"

She stopped hugging me and stare at me with serious expression.

"To see your stats, you need a tool called Appraisal Crystal. It's very expensive because the price of an Appraisal Crystal is one silver coin and you can only use it for ten times. After that, it'll be unusable and you need to buy a new one."

So I need an appraisal crystal to see my stats and it can only to be used for ten times. I wrote what she said in my new notebook.

"So that's why you wanted a notebook and a pen... what a smart girl you are, Annette!"

More like it's normal because it's an important information for me.

When she patted my head, I feel the warm feeling I longed for a long time after my parent death.

Then I ask her more about appraisal.

"Is there a way to see the stats without the need of Appraisal Crystals?"

"Use Appraisal Crystals many times and you'll get an Appraisal skill. But the chances are one percent."

"One percent!?"

"Oh, but the chances will increase by another one percents for every ten times you use it. That's why I said it's expensive without tools."

Simply put, I need to spend at least 100 silver coins. It really is expensive. I guess I need to refrain myself to see it, even though I'm really curious. Must write it.

"So, don't ask Mother to buy it. Do you understand?"

"...Yes, Nee-san."

"Annette, I told you before we can't... Wait, you're not throwing tantrum!?"

I guess it's normal for a children in my age (physically) throwing tantrum if they didn't get what they want, but knowing her mother's working environtment, business si not always smooth.

Then I told her the reason for it, from my perspective in my dream about Annette.

"Mom is always working hard for us, even you too, Nee-san. I feel bad if I ask her or you to buy anything I want. So I think, I need to learn useful skills from now if I want to have a proper job in the future."

That was what my father said to me when I was young, and one of the skills I learn has made me become a part-time cook in a traditional Japanese restaurant. As for the PC I have in my apartment, I build it myself.

That's one of the reasons, the other reason is what made Annette caught that mysterious illness. Throwing tantrum causing her an illness is weird. But there's something deeper behind it which involving me, like how I got that 'realistic dream' about Yumeha after my death.

Yumeha... Just, who are you? And what's my connection with you?

Then I felt her Nee-san hugged me again.

"So mature~ even calling yourself in first person. Please don't grow up too fast, Annette. Onee-chan need to record your growth."

Maybe I'm a bit mature for my (physical) age.

Then she pulled herself and said something.

"But you need to wait until you're seven-year-old."

"Why?"

"Minimum age requirement."

I see, so there are age restrictions in this world. But, isn't seven-year-old too early? No, I can't use the rule of my world to this world, no matter how absurd it is. Important information.

Still, with everything I wrote right now, it's still not enough. I guess I don't need to hesitate right now.

"Nee-san, can you tell me anything you know about this world?"

"Sure, just write everything important for you."

Then she told me about everything she knew about this world, mostly history.

This world was used to be under fear of Evil Goddess Alice, Demon Lord Diavolo, and the Otherworldly Sages.

Evil Goddess Alice wanted to destroy this world, but she has been sealed for more than five thousand years ago by the first hero, a human girl named Orfe. Her name also become a great labyrinth known as the Tower of Orfe because of the rumor about it become her final resting place.

I don't know why, but when hearing the name Alice, there's some sad and guilt feelings in my heart. I push away those feelings and continue my writing.

Demon Lord Diavolo wanted to dominate the whole world, until he was killed by the four Wise Kings three thousand years after Evil Goddess Alice has been sealed. Those four were Human King Balthazar, Demon Lord Amon, Beast King Leonheart, and Elf Chief Dwain. Thanks to them, the world got the peace and treaties has been made.

I was confused at first until Nia-san explained that Demon Lord Amon was Diavolo's son, who seeks peace and coexistence with other races. And yes, Elves, Beastkins, and Demonkins are real in this world, even other races like Dwarves and many more. But, isn't Demon Lord Amon the protagonist past life in the dating simulator game I played in my past life?

As for the Otherworldly Sages, she doesn't know their motives, but they like to do whatever they want since they're stronger than the residents of this world. She doesn't know what caused their demise two hundred years ago which only left one sage who's still alive until now. It was a girl, but crippled and incapable to talk or express.

I'm not sure if I can still consider that sage as a girl since she lives more than two hundred years, but her name is...

"WHAT!?"

"W-what is it?"

".. It's nothing! Please continue, Nee-san."

Her name is... Sumeragi Shion.

She might be that yandere boy's crush, but the time gap is too long!

And when Nia-san said Otherworldly Sages, I assume they might be the otherworlders. If they're really the otherworlders, then there might be the people of this world who knows the summoning ritual to call the people from my world to this world.

It really pissed me off when they summoned them without their consent!

Then she told me about the location we live. We live in a County territory called Silld, part of the Kingdom of Olfheim. And I was quiet for a while when she said the name of this world.

Excelia.

Hopefully it's not the same as The Adventurers of Excelia, the MMORPG I played in my past life

She even teached me the value of this world currencies. The list are like this:

1 small copper coin

1 copper coin = 10 small copper coins

1 small silver coin = 10 copper coins

1 silver coin = 10 small silver coins

1 small gold coin = 10 silver coins

1 gold coin = 100 small gold coins

1 platinum coin = 1000 gold coins

1 mithril gold coin = 10000 platinum coins

To test if I understand about it, she gives me a simple arithmetics test without looking at my notebook, and I passed without a single mistake.

"Onee-chan is so proud of you, Annette~"

We spend our times in arithmetics until we didn't realize that it's already night.

Since there's no electricity in here, the night is really dark, until Vittorica-san brings the candle to light the room. She even brought our dinner and let Nia-san stay with me.

I'm getting sleepy after dinner, but I need to learn more about this world, Excelia.

"It's already late now, time for you to sleep."

"But I want to learn more."

"We can do that again tomorrow. How about I tell you your favorite story, The Chivalrous Cat in Boots."

The title seems similar with the movie I watched in my previous life, but I think it might be interesting.

I nodded at Nia-san to start her storytelling.

"Once upon a time-"

Then I instantly fell asleep.
