Nesia-chan Can't Sleep Peacefully

Nesia-chan’s Earth Journal No. 10: Not So Peaceful Sleep After Karta had finally had enough of teasing me, she let me change into something called pajamas. Thank goodness... Then, while we were getting ready to sleep, she explained many things about this world to me. Apparently, the enormous city I had arrived in was called Jakarta, and Jakarta was part of a country called Indonesia. But the strangest part was its society. There were no nobles or commoners here. There was not even a king! How could a country possibly exist without a king? Karta explained that Indonesia was governed by a government instead, and the citizens could choose their leaders every few years... Huh? The citizens choose them?! Isn't that amazing?! Unlike the greedy nobles, tyrant emperors, and cruel kings in my past world, I thought anyone trusted to govern an entire country must be an incredible person who could bring prosperity to its citizens. I mean, the citizens would not choose someone bad, right? But when I said that, Karta gave me a strange look… Uh... am I wrong? Karta did not answer. Instead, she moved on to the biggest surprise of all. This world had no magic! Then what about the glowing candle on the ceiling? The scary horseless carriages outside? Karta’s strange pink object? The tool on the wall that somehow made cold air? Apparently, they were all created through something called science and technology. I still did not really understand. But after listening to Karta’s explanation, I came to one simple conclusion. This world must have unbelievably amazing blacksmiths! Karta stared at me for a moment before laughing. There were still so many things I wanted to ask, but after spending the entire day searching for work, my eyes were already getting heavy. Karta promised she would teach me more later. So, for my second night in this world, we climbed into bed together. Yep, I won’t sleep alone tonight! The room became quiet, and before long, Karta was sleeping peacefully beside me. How warm... How peaceful... ... Then why was it becoming so hard to breathe? ...Karta? You are so heavy…!
