《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.
