'Huh, I wonder where I sleep and what I eat.' Khan thought.

'What do I even sleep under anyways? there's basically no house that can host me. Well, now that I remember, I had a sleeping bag, those things were the most convenient things ever, nice and warm and when you were waging war and there was just mud on the ground for you to sleep on, they would make the mud feel like your bed and not something disgusting with parasites and stuff.'

'But I have no idea about what food there is, what do humans eat anyways? as long I know humans eat meat and vegetables, but my species only eats meat. But I also wonder again what wildlife there is, surely there are some animals to hunt in forests.'


[not so later after the deal]

Now that Khan was officially an employee of the Karsten manor, while it was a very bold move to employ a foreign, but it's not illegal, it was like getting a mercenary.

Now everyone is going with their business and Wilhelm should have led him to his room, which would be the guest room in the meanwhile, however, there was no way that Khan could fit in the doors of the mansion, so there was needed to make a new house made only for him and...

"Is Kaan drinking out a fountain?" Crusch mentioned that while talking to Wilhelm for additional information about Khan.

Khan had his entire snout into the fountain, apparently, he had been drinking the fountain for a while.
The other soldiers of Crusch and Felix were trying to make him stop drinking out of the fountain but without success, but he instead sank his head even more profoundly into the water.
"Stop drinking this water! It's not safe for drinkinnggg!" Felix said almost screaming while trying to pull him out of the fountain along with the other soldiers

Wilhelm almost chuckled at the unexpected sight, meanwhile, Crusch stayed with the same serious expression.

"I believe Kaan-dono is hungry and thirsty, Lady Crusch, We should give him something to eat and drink?" Wilhelm

"I also think we should, go on." Crusch answered his question

And finally, Khan pulled out his head from the water of the fountain in a very dramatic style, he pulled out the head very fast, making the water fly as he pulled his head backward, and all the water rained all over the soldier and Felix that was trying to pull him.

Then at the end of this scene, Khan says.

"Leckeres Wasser!" Khan's voice was deep and it was kinda slightly distorted in a menacing way.

Meanwhile, Felix was scolding Khan but Khan didn't seem to understand a word.

"There we go again him saying incompressible words with the most fearsome voice." one soldier commented because he was speaking nonsense to them, and some soldiers laughed, and many more murmurs of soldiers followed about the weird demi-human that was now an employee of the Karsten manor.

"I'd like to spar with him to test how skilled Kaan-dono is with the sword, but I believe we need first to teach him to speak, read and write." Wilhelm said

"Alright, I also would like to ask him more questions but because he doesn't know the Lugnica language at all, I will do that after he learns how to speak. I won't do his paper and draw communication, as it's too hard to ask complex questions like that, but at least I know the most important information." Crusch said

Wilhelm was continuing to listen to her, expecting her to continue her sentence.

"He did not lie when he tapped on the drawing that had knights with swords in their scabbards, so now we know that he's not an enemy, so we can trust Kan." Crusch ended.

Wilhelm despite listening to all that stayed quiet and gave a nod of approval to Crusch.

"Felix." Crusch called out to the cat boy.

Felix heard Crusch calling him out, he ran over her

"What is it Crusch-Sama!" Felix asked her in an excited tone.

"Now you will be assigned to teach Kluai Kaan how to speak, read and write." Crusch gave the task to him

"Um, Yes Crusch-sama.." Felix tried to suppress his groaning and his excitement died down.


Later Khan after he was given food and water by Wilhelm, he was brought a children's learning book by Felix.

Felix showed the book to Khan and he watched the book with curiosity, there was a page full of scribblings, and they all look in order one on the other

Khan didn't know what it was, but every single letter look different from one another, maybe an alphabet?

Felix pointed at the first letter and said

"a" Felix said a single letter

"ä" Khan tried to repeat after him

"That didn't sound quite right, sounded more like an e, Kaan-Kyun, repeat, aaaa" Felix repeated once again.

"ääaaaaaa" Khan repeated after him

"Hm hm hm, that's much better Kaan-Kyun" with sounds of approval.

"Now the next one" Felix moved his finger to point to the next letter

"i" Felix said the letter

"Iii" Khan repeated.

And this went on for a while repeating the entire alphabet to Khan (Its the Japanese alphabet btw).
Although Felix didn't know, Khan knew that everything it would be saved on his translator technology, so Felix basically was repeating again and again the entire alphabet, while Khan's technology already memorized all that, Khan nor the translator didn't know how to form words with those alphabets, and the translator doesn't speak for Khan anyways, so he followed along anyways.

Now Felix decided he was done with the alphabet, he went on to do pictures with word references.

Felix turned the page and there was a bowing man and under the bowing man was some scribbling.

"Kon'-ni-chi-wa" said separately each part of the word.

"Konnn-'nisciwa." Khan tried to repeat after him.

Felix moved to a random page and pointed to the picture and said

"Dragon" Felix said

"Dooragone" Khan said

"Dra-gon" Felix repeated

"Draaa-aa-gone" Khan repeated again

"Dra-gon" Felix said

"Draa-gon" Khan repeated

And so went on reading many more pages for a long time, until it reached the end of the page, and after many repeats and correcting.
Now Felix decided for Khan to repeat everything by himself.

"That's all exact! Well, it seems like all that long alphabet lecturing and long repeating did pay off, you are a quite fast learner Khan-kyun nyo~ohoho" Said while stretching his limbs with a satisfied tone.

"Dank-Thank you" Khan replied back to him.

The entire session lasted 4 hours.

"But now you need to read those fairy tales, you can't speak without some exercise. and I'm gonna teach you grammar tomorrow."

"Okay." Khan replied back

"Oo-kay?" Felix repeated the word just Khan said

Khan just took the book from Felix's hands and kept it in his chest pouch.


It was now starting to get dark, and Felix started to walk to the mansion to inform Crusch about the teaching progress.

Felix entered the mansion and walked all the way to Crusch's chamber's door, and knocked.

"Im Felix, may I enter Crusch-Sama?" Felix said as he knocked on the door.

"Come in" Crusch granted him permission to enter.

So he came into Crusch's room.

"Crusch-sama soon dinner will be ready, I will alert you when dinner is ready." Felix said.

"Also, Crusch-sama, the progress in teaching Kaan-Kyun Lugnica language is going well, the only thing it remains is to teach him how to write and grammar." Felix continued.

"Good job Felix. Does he know anything about Lugnica history?" Crusch complimented him.

"Um, I don't know, Crusch-sama. But I gave him a folktale for children to read for the moment, but he just put it in his chest pouch, I think he's gonna read that later." Felix answered her.

"Well, I guess that will suffice for now" Crusch commented

"Felix, you got something else to report?" Crusch asked Felix.

"No Crusch-sama" Felix answered her question.

"Well, you are free to go."

So Felix exited the room and went into his room.

"Aaaaaaaaa, Felix is so tired, teaching Kaan-Kyun the entire Lugnica language was so tiring, I hope he doesn't just throw it out of the window the next day."


Later

It was now time to eat dinner, however, today it would be quite a unique dinner, as today everyone will dine outside to also include Khan. (I have no idea if they would do that, but who cares, my name is RecklessBravery)

Wilhelm was sent to alert Khan that it was now time for dinner, so Wilhelm walked outside to find Khan and alert him, but he saw Khan with no armor on him anymore, except the waist down, and he was sitting with crossed legs, he was cleaning his sword apparently, and he was watching the sky, not bothered too much from the fact he was cleaning a sharp object without looking, now that he thinks of, he never ever removed his armor while they were with him, but he removed it once he was alone.

He looked at his body, his body was full of scars, he saw that he had fur like most demi-humans, but some parts fur was missing when it was clear that there was fur it looks like he was burned by flames, he looked at the lower part of his body, he had burn signs by what looks like an iron rod and not flames, however, there were many parts that were obviously never had fur, but then there were several spears and a few swords slashes scars around his entire body. He was an unusual demi-human for sure

But then Wilhelm saw a box-shaped thing beside Khan, he had no idea what was that, but he looked around Khan and there was nothing other than that, he looked at Khan's naked torso, then thinks where is Khan's armor, he looked at the box-shape thing again and it looked all metal, it had the same color pattern of the armor he wore.

'maybe that's his armor? why it's all packed up like that? I thought his armor was a normal full-plated armor, but.. how is having all packed up like that supposed to work?' Wilhelm thought.

But Wilhelm put those thoughts aside and it was now time to alert Khan that it's now time to dine.

"It's now time for dinner Kaan-dono, it will be in the backyard." Wilhelm said to Khan.

Khan then picked up the headgear and put it on his head, then turned around to face Wilhelm. For Wilhelm, such an act was slightly suspicious, but he guessed that he didn't have full trust in them.

"Repeat? Khan no did understand words" Khan asked Wilhelm.

"It's now time for dinner Kaan-dono, it will be in the backyard." Wilhelm repeated.

"Hm? dinner backyard? Khan go backyard soon" Khan answered him.

'Well, seems like he at least understands me now, even though his grammar is a mess.' Wilhelm thought.

"I'll see you at dinner, Kaan-dono." Wilhelm then turned around and started to walk away.

It was a long table, there were plates, knives, and utensils to eat on the food, the entire area was now lit by torches, and everyone was at the table to eat, including Khan who was just a boulder compared to everyone else. Felix protested to Crusch against the outdoor dining, as it was dangerous and Crusch would be endangered, Crusch acknowledged that he just wanted to protect her, but she thinks it would be just fine.

Meanwhile, for Khan, everything was a bit small for him, he occupied three spaces worth of seats in fact by just him sitting, finally, their food got served and everyone started eating after Crusch started eating. Soldiers started to chatter with each other, and Crusch ate the food without talking too much.

Khan looked at his food, it was meat and some vegetable by the side, a cup of water, and then a pair of utensils to eat. For Khan it was quite little, he just ate the meat in one bite and left only the vegetables on the plate.

Felix noticed that Khan ate only the meat but left the vegetable on the plate.

"Kaan-Kyun, you should also eat vegetables?" Felix asked.

"No" Khan replied.

"Ooh? You won't grow bigger if you don't eat vegetables nya" Felix teased him with a smirk.

"Khan send back message to the sender." Khan retorted.

"Aw, I thought I could get more reaction from you Kaan-Kyun" Felix in a fake pouting manner.

Then Khan look around and asked the chef.

"I want more, give me more meat?" Khan asked the chefs

"Sure I can, there's more in store." The chef replied.

So Khan was brought more meat to him by the chefs than the first time he was served.
This time the chef hoped that would satisfy Khan's hunger, judging from his unusual size.

Some were curious though, many eyes were looking at Khan, because he didn't wear the armor anymore, except for the waist and down and the headgear, they all saw the scars and burnings

"What happened to you though? You have more scars than my salary numbers" One soldier asked, some ignored the joke and waited Khan to respond.

"Khan many scars? battle lot equals scar lot and Khan's enemy use much fire, know my fur easy burn, so they use much fire on me." Khan replied, while it was the truth, he did not say everything.

Khan then proceeded to eat an entire meat piece with a loud chomp.

Some soldier noticed that his visor, where his mouth should be opened and closed to imitate a mouth eating, then a random soldier asked

"Wait, your helmet can also imitate your mouth? you can eat with your helmet? is that your head or your helmet?" the soldier questioned him and asked three question at once.

"My helmet created so advanced makes normal helmet look like toys" Khan answered in a way that answered all three questions but in a vague way.

"What you mean is advanced? what it can do a normal helmet can't do? Why it glows?" the same soldier asked him and asked another question

"No need helmet remove, always safe. Helmet make me see very long, make me see in dark, all need to know now." Khan replied, leaving an implication that he didn't tell everything.

"Come on, you can't tell us that our helmets are useless and then not tell us everything that helmet can do." the same soldier told him.

"No." Khan replied back.

"going back to the scars, it's clear that not all scars are made from battle, if you wish Kaan-dono, could you tell us what happened? I doubt it was made by war." Wilhelm asked him politely.

"No." Khan was releasing an aura of anger, Wilhelm noted that he hit a sensitive spot for Khan.
Everyone noticed that the helmet's visor turned into a color red, as the entire time was a color white.

"I apologize, I shouldn't have asked that" Wilhelm apologized to him.

"But can you tell me what were you doing before I called you for dinner? Sitting with crossed legs watching the skies?" Wilhelm asked.

"... Here sky beauty. Never seen sky of beauty where I from." Khan replied.

But now Khan mentioned that he has never seen a sky like that where he comes from, for the entire land, the sky remains the same regardless of where he is in the world, he attracted a curiosity of a certain Valkyrie.

"Where you came from? Kluai Kaan?" Crusch asked Khan while still eating the piece of meat.

'Oh shit, I dug a hole by myself.' Khan thought.

'What name should I say...

"Mā, kararagi kara kite iru to iu koto de, mā, mondainainode,-chū ni irete mo ī to omoimasu."

'What did that guard at the gate said..' Khan tried to remember during the time they showed the map-like drawing

'Ah.. your're.. from.. Kararagi' tried to translate the words of what the guard said.

"..Kararagi." Khan lied.

"The wind of untruth is blowing around you, Kluai Kaan." Crusch told him.

"What?" Khan questioned, not knowing what she meant.

"You can't lie to Crusch-Sama, Khan-Kyun, Crusch-sama has the divine protection of wind, which allows her to read emotion, then able to understand if somebody lied or not." Felix told Khan.

"Oh." Khan replied dumbfounded at the revelation.

'Then I guess I can't do anything about it.' Khan thought

"Me came from a land called Größtes Imperium der Tiermenschen." Khan answered Crusch.

Now everyone's attention peaked, as they never heard of such a land

"Gobe ditium imperiuuu... What?" Crusch couldn't grasp the name of the land where Khan originates from, she also checked for any lies, but she could detect none.

"What is that land? i never heard of it?" Crusch asked

"Größtes Imperium der Tiermenschen, its a big land where only.. hmm.. only demi-human, no human." Khan said

'While it's true that it's a land that only Beastman live there, it's best if I don't tell anyone that we wage wars on human kingdoms.' Khan thought

"Only demi-humans? humans can't live there?" A random soldier asked.

"No, no humans, humans no like in that land by demi-humans." Khan only confirmed his question.

"Where is it? I never seen such a land on the map?" Crusch questioned him.

"No..? Never seen?" Khan questioned to be sure.

"No." Crusch answered plainly.

"It's a land at the Nord" Khan said

"So, in Gusteko?" Crusch asked

"No, I never know a land by name of Gusteko." Khan said to her.

"Then where..?" Crusch didn't know anymore where this land could be.

"Khan no know where is, Khan got taken away by magic and Khan is here, no know what land Khan in."

"You mean that you got teleported by magic..?" Crusch said.

'He doesn't know the Lugnica language, he looks totally different, he has different map knowledge, comes from a totally unknown land, but..' Crusch thought

"Are you from beyond the great waterfall? Kluai Kaan?" Crusch asked Khan.

"The great waterfall? what is that?" Khan answered her.

Crusch tried to detect any lies from Khan, but he was saying the truth.

'If he doesn't even know what's the great waterfall, then he must truly have come from there.' Crusch thought

"The great waterfall is the border of this world, no one knows what is or there is beyond the waterfall." Crusch explained to Khan.

"Oh." Khan just said.

By this point everyone forgot to eat their food, only to listen to what Khan has to say, the food was now getting cold and it was getting darker and darker, then the chef stepped up and said

"Please everyone, the food is getting cold, it's better that you all eat it when it's still warm, thank you all." The chef bowed his head and turned around to move where he originally was.

Now everyone got snapped out of their curiosity about Khan and started to eat their food once again.


[Later]

While everyone was going inside the mansion into their bedrooms, Khan stayed outside under the stars with Wilhelm

Now Wilhelm came up to Khan and asked him a question

"Kaan-dono, where will you sleep? Right now we don't have any space that we can make you sleep in. But don't worry, my Lady already planning to build a house made only for you to use." Wilhelm asked to Khan.

"No worry, Khan prepared." Khan replied.

he started to prepare the sleeping bag and laid down the sleeping bag on the ground, then he inserted himself inside but didn't start to sleep, he just kept watching the stars.

"What a genius idea Kaan-dono, you can sleep everywhere with.." Wilhelm stopped at the sentence not knowing what is called.

"This called.. huh.. Sleeping bag." Khan tried to translate a bit slowly but successfully.

"Well, good night Kaan-dono." Wilhelm said.

"Good night" Khan said.

Then Wilhelm walked away.

'What a day. Well, i now better activate my sleep guardian mode on..'

He has now activated sleep guardian on his visor.

'Good now nothing can sneak up on me on my sleep, time to sleep.'

So now Khan closed his eyes, slept peacefully..

Maybe too peacefully..?


Author : Hello, when this story ends, I plan to do like a series of 'Watching him die again and again' but instead of seeing the usual plot thing like Subaru, we're gonna see Khan's world with the cast, well. If I ever decide to finish this.
