Dawn
"Uu... nhh..."
I hear my own pathetic voice.
Yes, this experience is common.
You wake up hearing one's own sleep talk.
This creates a combo where one wakes up even more worried that someone has heard what you're saying in your sleep.
"Uu, it hurts, it hurts..."
When I opened my eyes, I was in a dimly lit, narrow room.
The bed is not made of steel or wood, but of stone.
It's quite sturdy.
"Ah, it's soft..."
My body was wrapped loosely in a blanket, probably to keep me from getting cold.
I get off the stone bed
"Oh? Uwaa!"
I fall down on the floor
I have no strength in my legs
I'm confused about how to move my legs, probably because I'm not fully awake yet.
It seems like my grip has lost strength.
I have a hard time holding on to the pillar and standing up.
There's nothing I can do, so I lie down on the floor and stretch my body for a while.
After a while, my body finally starts to move freely
I don't want to run because I'm afraid I'll fall down.
But where is this place anyway?
There was no room like this built in the temple.
It's like a mortuary
However, it is different from a mortuary.
"What is this treasure?"
Gold and silver jewels are placed on a beautifully carved stone.
If it were Earth, it would easily be a mountain of treasure worth over 100 million yen.
No matter how you look at it, this room doesn't look like it was built in a year or two.
"Ah, my head felt heavy..."
My hair is in a terrible mess.
It's so long that if I tug on it lightly, it reaches my waist.
A little sunlight is shining through
I can hear a little noise through the cracks.
"…I’m naked."
I didn't feel uncomfortable being naked at all.
"Isn’t there something?"
If I go out like this and someone sees me, I would be branded a pervert for sure.
"Oh, it's a robe."
A typical robe worn by imperial priests hangs on the wall.
"But wearing a robe without even wearing underwear..."
Yeah, even in this situation I'm one step away from becoming a pervert.
No, I wouldn't do something like that in front of a woman. I would never do that!
At any rate, since I don't know anything, let's go outside with this.
Was this room in a slightly higher place?
A little further on, there is a staircase going down.
"Ah, it's wooden."
At the end of the stairs was a wooden door.
It was about two meters high, double-door, and very ornate.
I slowly opened the door.
The light is so bright that my vision goes blank.
My eyes adjust to the light and I gradually begin to see my surroundings.
"…Hmm?"
There were a lot of people in front of me
Maybe more than 50 people.
"Hmmmm?"
I'm speechless.
Or rather I'm scared
Everyone is staring at me
"Lu..."
"Lu?"
I replied exactly what someone muttered
"It's Lute-sama..."
"Lute-sama?"
"It's Lute-sama..."
"Lute-sama!"
"Lute-sama!"
"Dragon-sama!"
Who is that?
I'm Shiro, right?
"Lute-sama has woken up!"
"Report! Report to His Majesty the Emperor!"
"Bells! Ring the bells!"
"Communicate! Communicate to the entire land!"
Eh, these people are scary!
Everyone's eyes are bloodshot
And their gazes are so passionate and scary.
"Lute-sama! Lute-sama! Lute-sama!"
Like I said, I'm Shiro!
