"I'm John Doe." You said plainly.

"No, I mean-" Mel tries to elaborate. After a few seconds she finds the right words. "-where did you come from? You're not from Eastia, and you sure as heck aren't a Westphalian. You didn't seem to know any other country existed until recently.

"This morning while the others and I were out shopping there was some talk about where you were from. Herta said that she didn't want to say unless you agreed to tell. Ruby seems to think you're a clever ex-noble that was able to seduce the goddess Herta. Gerty thinks you're an angel that Herta took as her lover. Bertha thinks you're some random guy that lost his memories and got lucky. Cattleya thinks you're from a Savant family that impressed the gods somehow. Ayane and Yumi don't really question where you're from..."

"And you?" You ask your beguiler. "What do you think?"

"I think that you're definitely not from anywhere we know about." She says. "Some weird things you do or believe in are too natural to be faked. Are you even from this universe, Master?"

Huh. She was really close to the truth.

>Tell her that you were reincarnated from another world. Considering that Herta was a goddess, it shouldn't be that hard to believe.
>Say you want to keep your origins a secret.
>Lie to her. (She will likely see right through this unless you have a very good excuse. But even then she'll likely still remain suspicious)
>(Write-in)

(Only choose from the choices below if you tell Mel the truth)

>Allow her to talk about it to the others if she wishes.
>Request that she keep it to herself.
>(Write-in)

After Mel returns to her room, you're left with your own thoughts. You definitely didn't miss your old world, especially not the people, but you still feel a bit nostalgic over what you could've had. At just the right time, Herta approaches you.

"Master?" She said with a yawn. "I wanna do it again..."

"Again?" You ask with a grin. She gives a tired smile and gentle nod of the head. "Let's go to my room, then."

And you do.

The goddess falls asleep in your arms.

It was a brand new morning. The sun was shining bright, and a good night's sleep gave you some ideas for the day.

You...

>Stayed here for at least one more day. (Will lead to the daily actions in Centria)
>Decided to focus on something while here. (Go from daily actions in Centria to weekly actions for at least the rest of this week) (Remain in Centria for the rest of this week)
>Chose to return home after getting all the signatures from your connections, and then meeting with the bureaucrats again. (Uses up morning action) (The rest of the day is spent going back home) (Weekly actions in the estate will resume after you return)
>(Write-in)
