Been here a while. It's great exploring and meeting so many people I wouldn't have back home. Don't get me wrong.

I just can't help being homesick. Or, I guess, at least, missing my best friend. I know not everyone else here has ended up together with their friends or family. How has everyone else been dealing with it? Mikleo and I were together all the time back home, before I ended up here.

[Except that One Time they fought about Mikleo becoming a Sub Lord and joining Sorey in the pact with Lailah. But. Details.]

Phew, finally yes.

Huge city, yeah. Millions of people live there. It's just when I would go to work, we'd get driven to where we needed to go. I could make it to the local convenience store on my own, but everywhere else, I dunno.

[historiology]

Millions? Wow. That must be crowded. More than Ladylake back home. Convenience store?

[cursedwords]

Kind of? I think so. Lots of apartments which are very small homes.

It's a small store that sells an assortment of things at probably inflated prices for the convenience. We have one not that far from the school.

[historiology]

I'm pretty sure the seraphim back in the village I grew up in only had their houses because I was with them. Probably. So I wouldn't feel weird being the only one, as a mortal, needing that sort of thing, to sleep and all.

Oh. I think I get it. School? That's with lessons and stuff, right? I never went but Gramps and some of the others taught me some things?

[cursedwords]

They couldn't sleep? That's different. I can't decide if that's convenient or not.

Uh, mostly I think. I go to a technical college so I just have specialty courses and on the job training. I never had normal lessons. So don't ask me anything!

[historiology]

They are elemental spirits. So they don't need to do some of the things humans do.

Technical college? On the job training sounds good though? That makes sense to me at least? I guess I hadn't necessarily considered jobs before. Beyond what I was doing back home just kinda helping out where I could. And doing the same here.

[cursedwords]

I guess it's good for me to do my job, but not exactly good for anything else. It's a job I can't quit anyway, so I guess there's nothing really to worry about in the end.

[historiology]

Hm. I guess it depends on the job. I'm not really sure I can help as much here. Without Lailah, without Mikleo and the others. But. I'm doing my best. What I can. To just make do and help out.

[cursedwords]

I'm kind of enjoying the chance to just hang out with friends and just live a little bit. I don't hate my job exactly, I want to help people and my job lets me do that, but...yeah, I don't know, I don't usually have this kind of freedom. I like it.

[historiology]

I think I get it. Freedom. Yeah. I liked the village, the seraphim and all but. It is pretty great to be able to travel. To see and do so much more.

[cursedwords]

It’s really nice, don’t you think? I don’t think it has to be a bad thing.

[historiology]

It's not bad. Just taking some adjusting to. But yeah. It is nice. To explore and travel, go where and when you want.

[cursedwords]

I know it’s weird but I really like it. Then again I always try and break as many rules as I can get along with it.

[historiology]

Breaking rules? I usually try follow them. Most of the time at least.

[cursedwords]

I have a lot of really stupid rules, like not being able to date or do anything fun.

[historiology]

Not doing anything fun?

[cursedwords]

Yeah, I'm being punished for an ancestor of mine who pissed a bunch of people off.

[historiology]

But it wasn't you?
