2025-10-16 18:29:04Although I didn’t notice it, Luna-san has already served me a cup of black tea. It was placed in front of me, so I decided to clench my thirst.
Honestly, I don’t know how good or bad black tea tastes, but my encounter with the extraordinary made me thirsty and I feel like it tastes delicious.
[What a delicious herb tea.]
It is an honor to receive your praise, Kusunoki-sama.]
It looks like it wasn’t black tea but herb tea. I mean, how would I even know about fancy stuff like this.
[Well then, let me continue explaining. As I have told you earlier, every 10 years, we would invite a Hero from your world. That’s why, we understand the difference between your world and our world, so I am going to explain that in order.]
I see. If it’s true that they would invite someone from our world once every 10 years, and a thousand years had already passed, in simple math, they would have already invited 100 people from our world. It means, Lilia-san and the others must also know what to explain, but our case was an irregularity, so our case might be a little different from what they were taught when explaining the situation to the Hero.
[First, about the period of one year, this world’s calendar has the Fire Month, Water Month, Tree Month, Earth Month, Wind Month, and what follows is the Light Month, and after the Light Month is once again the Fire Month to the Wind Month, but instead of the Light Month, the next month will be Heaven Month. There are 30 days within one month, with 360 days in a year. By the way, the 30th day of the Heaven Month will be the night of the new year.]
According to what she said, a year is 360 days, with 30 days each in the Fire Month, Water Month, Tree Month, Earth Month, Wind Month, Light Month, Fire Month, Water Month, Tree Month, Earth Month, Wind Month, and Heaven Month. I guess it’s fine feeling it just like how I did in my previous world.
[That is why, it will be during the next 30th day of Heaven Month that we can return you to your previous world. Next, about time, I have heard that it is completely the same, with 24 hours in a day. Do you have any questions?]
[No, it’s fine.]
[Well then, next is about our currency. The unit for this world’s currency is R or Rira, with six kinds of coins respectively the hard coin, iron coin, copper coin, silver coin, gold coin, and white gold coin. One hard coin is 1R, one iron coin is 10R, one copper coin is 100R, one silver coin is 1000R, one gold coin is 10000R, and one white gold coin is 100000R. A common household’s general monthly income is about 2000R to 4000R.]
It means, 1R in this world is roughly 100 yen, and smaller units don’t exist? One probably earns 2 to 3 silver coins a month, and it might be enough living with 4 gold coins a year, maybe? Un, it’s alright. My head can still follow.
[Firstly, everyone here will be given 50 silver coins——50,000R each, so please freely use them during your sightseeing. Gold coins and white gold coins cannot be used at cheap stores such as food stalls, so they will be given as silver coins.]
[Bfuhh!?]
[ Eh!? ]
As Lilia-san said such a thing with a smile, Luna-san placed bags filled with the silver coins in front of us.
50000R, in other words, 5 million yen. Yeah, as expected of a Duchess huh....
[Ah, errr.... This is a bit too....]
[We understand that you think that it is too small. Adding to the fact that you were suddenly called into a different world, we also understand very well that this much is not enough for apologizing for what we have done to you.]
[Ah, no....]
It’s the opposite. This is too much. Though it’s true that it’s enough money to live without inconveniences for a year, this huge(?) amount of money given to a student? I’ll only be confused if you give me that....
No, wait, wait a second. If you include the living expenses.... Since I don’t know the standard of living in this world, it might be just enough to live in the same way in our previous world.
That’s right. Even though she told us our food, clothing, and shelter will be guaranteed, it’s not like we’re going to live here in her Duchy, at most, they’re probably going to prepare us a room in an inn or something.
[Of course, your food, clothing, and shelter will be prepared separately, and you do not have obligations to pay tax as well. Please use that money during your sightseeing and for your hobbies.]
The living expenses not included?! Then, this really is too much!
[I- If it’s like that, then isn’t this too much?]
Good job, Kusunoki-san! Yes, that’s right, that’s what I wanted to say.
[Kusunoki-sama, your concern is unneeded. For me who had made you caught up in all of this, I can only apologize to you in such a way. Please do not think twice on using all of it…. if it is not enough, we shall prepare more for you.]
[By the way, the money prepared is Milady’s private funds, so you do not need to hold back. She is the head of her lonesome Duchy, not having an expensive hobby, and not to mention a husband, even a candidate for such a position does not exist. The wealth that she had saved is quite considerable.]
[Luna,Luna... Why are u intentionally grouging my heart? You are my maid right?]
[Yes, this Lunamaria is the maid who had sworn absoulte loyaltly to Milady Lilia-sama. I swear i am always Mylady ally]

Extra Chapter: A Primer on the World's Weave
For Kaito Miyama, understanding this new world was not a matter of mere survival, but of intellectual necessity. In the quiet moments afforded to him within the Albert estate, he began to compile notes, cross-referencing information from Lilia’s guarded lessons, Luna’s dry asides, and the few historical texts he was permitted. What emerged was a framework—a sketch of the cosmic and mundane forces that shaped the land of Symphonia and the realms beyond.The Turning of the Seasons and the Flow of CoinThe passage of time in this world was governed by a celestial dance of six elemental months, which repeated in a continuous, harmonious cycle: Fire, Water, Tree, Earth, Wind, and Light, followed again by Fire, Water, Tree, Earth, Wind, and Heaven. Each month held thirty days, creating a year of 360 days. The shift from Light to Heaven was particularly significant, marking the transition from the year's bright, active half to its more contemplative, spiritual culmination. Festivals often al
DEMON KING IS SMALL FRY FOR US PART 2
[The Demon Realm operates on a straightforward meritocracy. Essentially, the one with the greatest power stands at the top. That said, just because it’s a meritocracy doesn’t mean the Demons are violent. On the contrary, most Demons are rational beings who don’t resort to violence without reason and don’t look down on the weak. It’s simply a society that values individual ability over lineage.][Rather, they’re much more even-tempered than humans. Both My Lady and I have been to the Demon Realm and toured around a bit. The people there have always been kind to me.][Yes, I’d love to visit again sometime. While the Demon Realm has no unified country, it’s divided into six territories. Each territory is ruled by one of the “Six Kings”—namely, “Underworld King-sama,” “War King-sama,” “Death King-sama,” “World King-sama,” “Dragon King-sama,” and “Phantasmal King-sama.” These Demons have lived for thousands of years, and their power is said to be capable of destroying the world.]The most
DEMON KING IS A SMALL FRY FOR US
A relatively small yet well-kept and clean room. Could this be the reception room? It was here that the explanation, which had been interrupted by our earlier movements and mealtime, resumed.[Now then, about this world.... The topic came up a bit earlier, so I’ll explain it to you through the story of the First Hero-sama.]As Lilia-san spoke, Lunamaría-san placed what appeared to be a map on the table.The shape of the continent gave the impression of an enlarged version of Europe. On the lower left part of the continent, roughly where Spain would be, there was a section marked in black and white. Meanwhile, near the center of the continent, slightly away from that area, a spot was encircled in red.[The area enclosed in red is the Symphonia Kingdom, where we are now. To the north is the “Archlesia Empire,” and to the south, across the sea, is the “Hydra Kingdom.” These three nations are known as the Three Major Powers. Up until about a thousand years ago, they were the entirety of w
THE DUCHES IS THE GOOD PERSON PART 2
I imagined being served a full course when you talk about food for nobles, but what came out was bread, soup, salad, and the main dish that sounds very fancy, though I didn’t understand what it meant. It’s like a foreign-style set meal, and it was very delicious.There are many otherworld cuisines that are described as not delicious in isekai light novels, with the most popular being hard bread and too-much-salt soups, and I was also expecting that, but——— the food I’m eating right now is delicious.The bread is soft enough, the soup tastes like consommé, and the least I could say is it is far more delicious compared to the convenience store bento that I’ve eaten.Oh, there, suddenly I instinctively looked in Lilia-san’s direction. Lilia-san took a spoonful, but after eating that, she sighed.[—Luna, before the lunch ends.—][—Understood.]After she gave Lunamaría-san a command with a quiet voice, she noticed my gaze and returned me a gentle smile.[How is the food?][Eh? Ah, it’s ver
THE DUCHES IS THE GOOD PERSON
Inside the slightly shaking carriage. I could not even think of coming up with a comment for my first experience riding a carriage. All I could do was to worry.By the way, we are currently moving towards Lilia-san’s house, and the members who received an explanation from her earlier are all in the carriage.It looks like Mitsunaga-kun agreed to participate in the Festival of Heroes, and would go to the palace as a state guest. After he lightly greeted Kusunoki-san and Yuzuki-san with goodbyes, he went off in a very extravagant carriage. I only wished that he took me with him.[Umm, Kaito-san? Are you alright? If you do not feel good, we could take a break.][No, I’m alright.][Milady, I believe that Miyama-sama is still confused.]This maid, so shamelessly—she knows why, but she won’t say it![I see, I can’t blame him. Although I can’t exactly say these words as the cause of all these, and could not even apologize properly— please do not worry too much. Please tell me if there is any
THE DEATH TRAP IS THERE PART 2
A tense silence had settled over the room after Lillianna’s assurances. It was Luna who shattered it, her voice cutting through the quiet with surgical precision.[Well then, Milady. While I understand your personal anxieties regarding your… advancing marital eligibility, I do believe it is time we—][I said no such thing!] Lillianna’s composure broke, a flush creeping up her neck. She cleared her throat, forcibly smoothing the frustration from her features. [Ahem. That is to say, we cannot remain here indefinitely. I must ask for your patience. A more thorough explanation regarding this world's customs will be provided once we have relocated to my estate. Would that be acceptable?]Her request was polite, but it was not a question. It was a directive.[Wait,] I interjected, seizing on the new information. [This isn’t your home, Lilia— I mean, Duchess Albert?]A faint, genuine smile touched her lips. [Please, Kaito-san, just Lilia is fine. And you may speak casually. We are, for bette
