''But.... I'm not sure you can learn how to read just by looking at books though.'' Dad ponders. ''How about you go there to familiarize yourself with the library first? I'll arrange a tutor for you to learn the characters ter.''
Well, sure thing, that's just a random excuse I whipped out to get to the library.
''Un.''
I am on my journey to the library, which is located on the middle floor of the castle. Our kingdom has castles, by the way, it seems like this world is not perpetually stuck in the medieval age or anything, it's rather advanced, by normal fantasy standards.
I've heard the adults talked about things before, like, how they have ballpoint pens already, and they also have cars for whatever reason, not sure if there's magic involved in the whole cars thingy though. My dad once talked about how the Empire just developed a new type of weapon, hearing the description I'm pretty sure they're muskets. I'm gd I don't need to start from the bottom and stea- invent gunpowder or anything.
So anyways, our kingdom even has concrete buildings, which surprised me. The elves do love nature, but they also love convenience and improving their lifestyle, so there are actually very few stubborn elves who refuse to build a solid house and live in the trees, fair enough.
The building I'm currently in is the Emerald Castle, which is the main residential space for royalties. We live on the top floor, and although I'm more of a fan of clear ndscape scenery instead of forests, the view there is pretty amazing.
Following me to the library is my nanny, apparently she is adept at magic, and a gal named Justia, a royal guard, also good at magic.
It always is exciting when I'm going somewhere for the first time, the st time I remember I didn't have much freedom in traveling and such. And I don't really feel worried about the books this time, somehow the elves just speak Japanese, so I'm pretty sure I can read the books too.
Opening the rge wooden door, I scurry over the rge bookshelves in the room. There are 16 shelves in total, each one towering over me and my companions, it's tall, like, really tall.
Well, it's time to explore. ''Justia, hold me up so I can choose the books!''
''Heheh... Sure, Your Highness'' Justia holds me up in her arms, she has a smile on her face. My nanny looks quite disappointed though, what's wrong?
Me and my friends walk through the shelves as I scan the titles, indeed that is Japanese. I also see some English titles, not surprising considering there are Japanese, and some other nguages I can't understand.
Hmm, Introduction to Pnts, Alchemy, How to grow taller, Guide to cooking 101,....''Wait, get me that one.'' I point to a book, the title reads [History of the third gender - Futanar.
I'm curious, really curious about this one. Isabel and Justia seem a little bit flustered, but proceed to fetch me the book anyway. Now let's see...
I should have expected this when I heard the word futanari. Apparently, there were people besides me who came from Earth, and one of them colborated with the dragons to create a procedure to grow a penis on a female, regardless of race.
This is devious, demonic, and honestly degenerate, but very cultured and genius at the same time, I love it. So the penis gene can be passed onto the eldest daughter if there happens to be more than one, as long as the mother has a PP. My mom doesn't have one it seems, seeing my smooth crotch. And you can make babies with a futa and a woman, nice. I have nothing but respect for the men of culture who have the courage to marry the futas though, cuz here it said that a futa's PP will almost always be bigger than a male's.
''Hey, do you guys know which high noble houses in our kingdom have futas?'' Curiosity poked my brain, I ask two of my friends, my nanny seems to be pondering the question, while Justia has a troubled face.
''I believe dy Emilia Campbell and dy Raeliana Seymour are, Your Highness.''
''Right, thanks, nanny.'' So it's not uncommon in the high elves' society, huh.
Our kingdom's noble system is surprisingly simir to a normal human's one. We have two Dukes: Campbell and Florence, one Marquis: Seymour, several other Counts and Viscounts, and around a dozen Barons. My mom told me this, for your information, she is from the Florence household.
Well, there's that, I think I should move on to magic now.
''Hmm... Oh.''
Immediately, a book caught my attention, it is written in English and the title reads [Introduction to Magic], that looks like a good one to start.
So I return the futanari book, sounds like I'm reading porn, but I'm not. ''Get me that one over there, please.''
Nanny gives me the book. ''This one is written in the Empire nguage, Your Highness.''
''Un.'' So the empire uses English, how lucky. She is talking about the Aragon Empire that occupies the center of the continent, the one with so far the biggest human territory in terms of nd and popution.
Anyway, I keep getting distracted, magic. Let's see what it's all about.
Mana is the mysterious energy that exists around us b b b... You can control mana with your will b b b... Magic can be divided into 2 rge categories, there we go, finally something new.
So there's transitional magic which includes fire, water, wind, and earth, every magic that uses mana to convert it into something else. And then there's imaginary magic, which is basically all the supernatural phenomena that one can cause, like telekinesis that I did before, space magic, summon magic, enchantment as well, lots of things to consider.
How do I use this magic then? Hmm... This is confusing writing here, achieve mastery in the art of controlling mana and and have a mind full of imagination? So do I just... will it out? In that case, it also expins why many children blew themselves up when they learn the concept of offensive magic too early.
Also, there's a special category that includes divine and dark magic. Divine magic is mostly used to heal and create barriers, one can acquire this through worshipping a deity, in this case, the goofy goddess. Dark magic is only avaible to subjects under the demon rulers... devastating offensive capabilities and runs on one's negative emotions, that sounds dangerous, they don't even have the mana cap that normal magic has then.
By the way, this book is written in a tone so pretentious and grandiose, confusing the readers, I can't stand it anymore. Are you trying to teach magic or literature, huh. Who is the asshole that wrote this garbage-
Flipping through to the st page, there I see 'by Louis Everwood'.
Oh.
''...Well, enough books for today, let's go get dinner, shall we?'' Let's get the hell out of here, friends.
There are things that are better left unsaid.
