After spending a few days in this world, the boy had finally gotten used to his new identity. He now believes that he is Loganel. In order to keep living in this world, he had to throw away his original name and continue his life as Loganel since there might not even be a way for him to return to his original world.

However, he isn't missing his old world to be honest. In this world, he discovered that Loganel was actually the third child of the noble Ainzloft family, who was the lord of one of the more rural plots of land in the eastern part of the Royal Kingdom of Astra. The Ainzloft territory was separated from the central hub of the nation by a tall mountain range, causing its residence to be only able to purchase specialized goods brought by travelling merchant caravans once every three months.

Despite this small con, the life of those that reside on Ainzloft territory was peaceful. With the difficulties of living on a rather undeveloped region of Astra, the inhabitants are forced to depend on each other, therefore making crime a thing that only appears in legends. In addition, due to the management of Baron Alden Ainzloft, the father of Loganel Ainzloft, the area was able to thrive. Alden Ainzloft was the one that had negotiated for the merchant caravan to pass through the Ainzloft land, and in addition, he was also able to persuade those merchants of the nearby cities to purchase the products produced on his land. His actions were then able to engender a steady source of income, in which he often used for a special celebration every six months and have his cooks prepare a special feast to applaud the people for their hard work.

Due to this, the Ainzloft family's reputation was one that engender much respect amongst those that reside on their vast territory. Whenever Loganel were to leave the manor and walk around the nearby fields, the villagers that are working in their fields often stopped their labor and greeted him. Some even offered him food such as freshly baked bread occasionally.

In conclusion, life was good for Loganel. However, he does miss something about his old world, and that is the internet. In this world, the technological levels appear to be in the medieval Europe levels. However, oddly enough, there were some other rather advance hygienic items such as toilet paper. In this world, for entertainment, Logan would occasionally wander around in the nearby village. Even though the village kids had asked for him to play with them, he usually kindly declines. Being originally a man that was in his early twenties, Logan feels slightly ashamed for playing with kids since his mental maturity levels were already one of an adult.

However, once at home in the Ainzloft manor, he is required to interact with children. It appears that Logan has older siblings. They were twins that are two years older than him. The older of the two is Laurina, Logan's older sister, and the younger of the two is Redgilus, Logan's older brother. However, even though they were technically his "older" siblings, mentally, Logan is older than them by more than ten years. But, in order to conceal his true identity, he had to somehow pretend that he was a boy that was eight years of age. Therefore, everyday, Logan is always constantly in stress as he acts his age.

But, those days of acting might soon conclude, or rather, alleviate a bit.

"Tomorrow you two will be heading off to the Academy, aren't you," Logan's mother, Maria Ainzloft said at the dining table one day.

"Yes mother," Laurina replied with an etiquette that Logan had thought was impossible to be present in kids her age. However, it seems that Maria's guidance on the etiquette of the noble ways is successful in molding Laurina to a young girl worthy of the title of nobility. Laurina, inheriting the same beauty of her mother, was what one would imagine the daughters of nobles would act like, always calm and with a constant smile on her face.

She is well-behaved, always abiding by the rules that Maria had set for her. In addition, she was never the one to mingle in the play of the village boys, thinking that their play activities was unladylike and that it would dirty her clothes if she was to join them in doing so. That was the phrases that Logan had heard first hand from Laurina herself. One day, when the three siblings were returning home from taking an afternoon walk to and back from the village, they had encountered the village kids playing in a nearby creek. That was when Laurina said those words of hers.
