《the Otherworld Scientific Researcher》Chapter 19: Naoko
Advertisement
Raynor has been granted access to the royal library to conduct his research about magic. Yuria also help with recommending which books are suitable for him, but it seems that Raynor can’t understand the words in this world. Yuria and the rest of the heroes can already read and write when they just arrived to this world, its like the knowledge of writings have been implanted to them beforehand. But Raynor can’t understand the words, which makes Yuria thinks that the heroes have some sort of advantages or blessings.
But that does not stop Raynor. He brought back some books, and scan them into his computer, asked Yuria to translate a few keywords, and shockingly, the entire book was translated, and the contents are quite accurate. This makes Yuria even more amazed at what future technology can do. They would also sometimes study together. A rank S is not all knowing, and need to study as well..
Currently, they are not living in the castle anymore, but in a royal guest house just outside the castle. Yuria has requested for the house because it comes with an underground private room which is wide enough for Raynor to do his stuffs.
Yuria on the other hand, has been cooperating with the Kingdom’s Managements Officials to mange and assimilate the refugees into the local populations.
She is accompanied by Naoko, a guard assign to protect Yuria from incidents like what happened previously in the refugee area.
Naoko has a child like appearance, with around 130cm. Her attire is similar to Izanami, with a large bamboo straw hat that is too big for her body size, and it almost covers her entire head. That is the required outfit for the military mage. The only difference is Naoko’s outfit is smaller in certain areas.
[It seems that you are quite famous around this area desu.] Naoko

Naoko said when they pass by the refugee area, there seems to be many people who are watching them with eyes filled with hostility.
[Well, Raynor causes quite a scene back then, they are here for revenge. They remembered my face, and this time I’m their target. Although it is quite sad that they are my former citizens..] Yuria
Yuria often travels around the refugee area, but no one decided to lay a finger on her. Although Raynor is not with her, but she is accompanied by Naoko. Naoko has the Kingdom’s military uniform on, and the last thing the bandits want to offend is the Kingdom itself.
Every day, Yuria travels to the refugee area without fail, and perform her task like a government official. She provided supplies to the refugees, implement public order, and provided job vacancies and stuffs.
On the other hand, Naoko’s daily routine is to follow Yuria during the day, after they finish their job during the day, they will go back to the guest house, have their dinner, and they will start their magic lesson, with Naoko as the teacher.
Naoko is mainly a magic teacher for Raynor, because Raynor seems interested in studying deeper about magic, and relying only on books can’t give much information.
.
During the first day Naoko was assigned to Yuria, she was also assigned to stay with her. That time, Naoko took off her large straw hat inside the house, and what she saw was Raynor is staring at her intensively.
[What are you staring at desu? Never seen a beastkin before?]
The moment Naoko take off her hat, Raynor looks at her with the eyes full of curiosity. What he saw are a pair of fluffy pointed ears on the top of her head.
Raynor wanted to touch the ears, but he receive a slap instead. It is said that touching the ears or tail of a beastkin is a form of sexual harassment. Raynor did not give up, he asked for her blood sample next, which got slapped again, but this time by Yuria.

At the end Raynor got the blood sample that he asked for. Naoko didn’t know why he wanted her blood sample so badly, but she can spare few drops of blood after looking at the pitiful state of Raynor.
Naoko is not a citizen of this Kingdom. She is a beastkin, and from the fox-tribe. She came from the far eastern side of the continent where the beastkin dwells, and got enrolled into the Magic Academy in this Kingdom. The Magic Academy is well known, because it is founded by Erina, a Rank S Mage many years ago. Many people from the surrounding kingdoms travel to this place to enrolled at that Magic Academy.
Naoko, despite her young appearance, is among one of the top students who are graduating. Graduating students are required to intern at any magic related jobs. Naoko has been assigned as an intern at the Kingdom’s military mage, and now has been assigned temporarily to assist Yuria, and also a magic teacher for Raynor and Yuria.
Although Naoko is just a Rank C Mage, but Yuria still learns from her. Yuria got all her magic knowledge and experience from the wars and battles in her past, but Naoko got all her knowledge from learning. She learns from histories, and also from few different experts that pass down their life long knowledge. It can be said that Yuria has many experiences but little knowledge, and Naoko has much knowledge but little experience. Furthermore, all Yuria knows is only about healing magic.
.
At first, Naoko first impression when she meet Raynor is he was a naive brat that has been leeching off Yuria. But some time after she begins to teach them about magic knowledge, she noticed that Raynor’s capability in learning is extraordinary. He can learn stuff that takes her few months to understand, in only a few days.
Not to mention, he even thought of ways to apply those knowledges that he just learn. Although the ways that he thought are normally considered as impossible, illogical or heresy, but it changes the way of how Naoko looks at Raynor. Only he is still leeching off Yuria.
There is one time when Naoko decided to bring Raynor back to the right path, to help him earn some of his own income by helping him choose his own career path according to his interest.
[Since you are so talented in studying magic, why don’t you chose a carrer path for yourself? There are many jobs that requires a magic user desu. Although the most popular ones are in the military or the adventurer’s guild desu.]
[I just want to learn about the mysteries of the universe, and how it works, to apply its secrets to use.]
[I think for that, you can be a magic tool inventor, but it requires another set of knowledge regarding tool invention. Your invention can bring many benefits to the people.]
[Yes, human Inventions can bring many benefits to many people, but if it falls into the wrong hands, it can bring a great civilization down in a blink of an eye. Not even those benefits that they have accumulated can save them.]
Raynor has a depress expression when he said that. It makes Naoko shiver, because he seems to be talking out of experience and grieve, like his own invention litarary causes the downfall of a great civilization. If one thinks deeply, what he said makes sense. Inventions can be a scary thing if used wrongly.

Thief of Time
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Book 1: The Legend of Tot Synopsis: Claud Primus, a self-declared master thief, has a simple goal. To live forever. It's a rather easy task, for miraculous objects called lifestones are able to extend one's lifespan. These lifestones are best found in the treasuries of nobles, lovely resorts that Claud pays a visit to every so often. Unfortunately, one of those nightly visits go awry, and Claud is forced to escape with just a single lifestone and a box in hand. Normally, that's when things die down. The guards yawn, the gates close, and the night continues. But this time, the night isn't that forgiving. A dozen schemes result in the murder of someone important, and with a convenient scapegoat — Claud — at hand, it doesn't take long for him to be framed as a heinous criminal, wanted for the indirect murder of someone high up...and it just gets worse from there. Book 2: The Moon Lords' Rise Synopsis: As ordered chaos sweeps across Licencia, Claud leaves for Julan Barony, intent on making some profits there. Accompanied by the erstwhile heiress of Julan, a fellow member of the Moon Lords, the two plot against the barony's wealth...as well as a promise to bring about its downfall. Meanwhile, back home, the Moon Lords have busied themselves with digesting their gains. Eyes, however, are beginning to turn to this proverbial fish in a small pond. The fishermen are coming. When they cast their hook, what will Dia and the others do? Book 3: Murders under the Moons Synopsis: In the sleepy town of Nachtville, where Claud and Lily are forced to stop at, a set of nasty murders occurs. Victims scream out in fright, before a spear falls from the sky to end their suffering. Cowed and cautious, the master thief and his partner slink in the shadows, their objective that of home... A new task, however, has fallen on Dia. With a trusty helper at her side, she has to set off towards Nachtville itself, to solve the mystery Claud had abandoned. Faced with an enemy whose sole skillset is geared towards killing, how will they succeed? And what dark secrets will they find? Book 4: In the Dark of the Moons Synopsis: The year has ended. The four months of the full moons will soon be followed by two months of the new moons. Duke Istrel's ascension is around the corner. Amidst this political upheaval, Count Nightfall, Licencia's strongest defender, has been called away. The Moon Lords' largest task yet — to protect Licencia in the absence of its ruler — has begun. And yet, trouble is unrelenting. A distinguished personage, one that Claud fears, has been found dead in the county, his brains dug out and his body disemboweled. The inquisitors of the White Church have been dispatched to investigate and apprehend the murderer...as well as the person behind this puppet. Tormented by a call to fight, Claud directs his eyes out of the city, looking for the puppetmaster. Skulking in the shadows, the master thief will soon confront his greatest foe yet. A foe just like him. Book 5: Moonlit Tides and Darkened Seas Synopsis: A new era has begun. For the privileged, the sands of time dribble away for every passing moment, counting down to the arrival of a entity of mythical proportions. The night now harbours shadows and fog, and operatives of the Moons and the Dark clash in shadow. Claud, as usual, is investigating a spate of nasty disappearances in the city, but little does he know what these disappearances truly mean. And yet, a tide is coming. When it finally breaks, what will he do? Book 6: Secrets in Shadow Synopsis: The person behind a strike that would enter the annals of history flees his home, bringing with him the person closest to his heart into a new land and into a new world. Having left Istrel for the first time in his life, the two of them attempt to settle down in foreign lands, only to be caught in the middle of hostilities between two mighty powers grappling for dominion. Yet, none of that has anything to do with him. Following his desires, Claud eventually makes his way to the fabled Celestia Ruins, a fragment of another world. Bearing witness to truths he cannot yet comprehend, he returns from his exploration, a small break away from the machinations of destiny. One thing, however, is for certain. Destiny will not wait for him. Book 7: Reddest Rage Synopsis: Destiny churns on, heedless of mortal machinations, and Claud watches as the battlegrounds between the Moons and the Dark are drawn up. With the forces of the great Dark occupying Lostfon, Claud comes to a startling realisation — that he may have very well be a murderer of heinous proportions. Grappling with that realisation, he struggles to prepare for his Second Tutorial... Back in Istrel, Dia finds herself confronted with a perennial truth. Even in a time of writhing destiny, the machinations between nobles never cease to end — and unfortunately for her, the group once known as the Moon Lords are forced into dealing with a petty squabble between two counts. What they didn't account for, however, was the startling discovery they would soon make... And the shadow of the Red God's Holy Son behind it all. Book 8: Darkness Descends Synopsis: Nightmares haunt the horizon as Claud sinks and awakens from a seeming dream. What was once illusory begins to play out before him, in a way he cannot imagine. Dia, forced to wield arms, begins and ends a battle that opens her eyes to the vast dangers that lurk in this sundered world. Under the banner of humanity and divinity, she beholds the silent, forgotten protectors of Orb...but there is no forgetting the battle between the divinities. The Dark descends, the Moons writhe, and the horns of war blow once more. But this is not their battle. Not yet. Book 9: Moons Muster Synopsis: As more and more events fall into place, Claud finds himself desperate. Not for himself, but for the person who has turned into his world. Armed with the knowledge of a certain future, he approaches the only person that could possibly help him in his time of need, trading information for a promise of help. With that as solace, he returns to the grim task of understanding and seeking, revisiting an ancient, shattered fragment of another world...unleashing changes that he never knew was possible. Back in Istrel, Dia and the others must now navigate around a familiar spirit, who seeks to investigate the death of his master's Bearer. With them as prime suspects, the Seekers of Life must move carefully...but the Coloured Gods are not the only divinities eyeing them closely. The Moons, bristling from repeated defeats, are looking for new recruits, and the Seekers of Life are prime cannon fodder. Above all, destiny marches on, the unfeeling clock a warning to all. The Trial of Aeons will soon arrive. Book 10: Destiny Divine Synopsis: ??? Release frequency: one every few days or something, I guess. (This work is also being serialised on Webnovel under the name Revile as a trial run)
