I keep forgetting to write in this.

Anyway, Naoto and I secured lodgings in a flat near her workplace. It's still odd, living in a place such as this when you're so used to an unforgiving city. Few things here are unforgiving, but I still feel the urge to carry a knife wherever I go.

Work is fine. Nothing changes. After the first week, you get used to whatever's coming in and shipping out. I like working on the water, though. I've never seen so much water in my life, and every day it's a refreshing sight. Perhaps, when the weather gets cooler and we're both not working, I can take Naoto to the beach. It'll be our first family vacation.

...Better not think of that too much. She probably doesn't consider me her father.

It's been getting colder lately, or maybe it's just because I live in a coastal town. Either way, it looks like it will rain any day now. This might put a damper on my training, but I doubt it. It should be good for me, anyway. I haven't trained in rain in... a long time, I think. It never rained much in my world.

I think I'll talk with Naoto tomorrow about getting an apartment or a small house instead of staying here where she works. It's just inconvenient for Miss Olette, even if I do pay some of the rent.

At least my wound has finally healed over. It looks like I've got another scar, though. It's not too bad. It's not as noticeable as my others.

I've had this journal since I first arrived but I haven't had time to write in it. I've been in this new world for about five days now and we've been very busy. I have a place to live, at least, with my daughter protégé old student, but in order to remain here we have to pretend we're related. ...I suppose we should consider ourselves father and daughter anyway, if we're going to pretend.

I've found a job, too. It's nothing like what I did back home. There are no orphans to save and people to kill. Since Mac Anu is a port town, I've found work at the dockyard. It's enough to keep me physically active, and I train in the fields surrounding the town in my free time. Naoto wants to spar with me some time, when she's not working.

I still don't understand a lot that's going on. I should probably do some reading later on this world's history and cultures so I can get a better understanding. ...I was never one for reading.
