.Is the original owner's brain lowering my IQ?
Seui's feet and back were starting to complain gradually. And the cleaner has already given him a few weird looks, but there was nothing he could do about it as he too was powerless. Rewinding back about fifteen minutes, Seui started checking the number of digits in the password and discovered it was a five-digit one. So he tried the most popular passwords starting from 11111, 12345, 98765 to respective digits of the words "password", "qwerty" and so on, without any luck. Bending down to press the keys carefully, he even tried looking for clues through the stuff in his pockets. Finally, his newfound patience was about to come to an end. He considered between kicking the door and asking the landlord for assistance, while pressing the keys to vent his frustration.
Suddenly, as if struck by lightning, he stared at the vague fingerprint formed by his sweaty fingertips on the pressed key. Fingerprint! How could he forget! He could've easily used the fingerprint scanner! He wondered if his brain was starting to corrode in the original's skull. It was a well-known fact that he wasn't this stupid! He used to be the class topper after all! Quickly finding the scanner, he pressed the fingerprint with great relief. Finally! His one-man show is at an end! After he unlocked the door, he pushed it with trembling hands, partly with anticipation and partly because he was quite mentally exhausted.
The scene in front of him after he opened the door made Seui doubt himself and wonder if he was suffering from color blindness. From the walls to the bedding, it was all dull colors, mostly various shades of grey. It goes without saying about the aesthetic standard of the original owner! Slowly closing the door behind him, he scanned the surroundings noticing some minor details; despite being dull and monotonous, the room was very clean. The layout there was very simple, which was divided into a bedroom, a living room, and a kitchenette that contained a few pans, a rice cooker, a pressure cooker, and an oven. The kitchen utensils appeared frequently used at the first sight which was quite in line with Seui's personality.
He decided to clean himself before other things and took off his shoes at put them in the shoe cabinet. Then he rushed to the bathroom while changing out of his clothes. The interior of the bathroom was kind of contradictory to the usual style of the place and was sky blue which was more refreshing and pleasing to the eyes. He took a bath for a long time and put on a bathrobe while blowing his hair in front of the mirror. He was quite stunned noticing the reflection on the mirror. His first thought was ' wow... is this the so-called beauty that surpasses the genders?...'The second thought was: this wasn't his face! The face on the mirror was ethereal, looking out of this world. The milky and pearl white skin seemed to be glowing and the smooth and straight nose added to its beauty. The mouth was small and well-shaped with red-tinted and lovely lips. The only familiar feature to him was the round and black eyes which were quite noticeable under the long and thick eyebrows that were naturally shaped. Drops of water slowly slid from the jet black and shiny hair, along the smooth skin down to the pointed chin, almost bewitching himself. His real face, although it couldn't said to be ugly, it wasn't comparable to this angelic face! It wasn't going to be easy for him to get used to this face. He simply looked back at the round black eyes that seemed bottomless and couldn't be any familiar. It seemed although the face was completely different, the eyes were still his own. Moreover, it appeared they were not just decorations in this world! Apparently, he wouldn't need his otaku spectacles anymore!
He walked out of the bathroom intending to search around a bit. Okay, maybe touching other people's things might not be a good thing but he was helpless too without any solid clues about his situation. Also in his heart, he still wished to go back to his original world. He was sure that no accident happened over there and if he managed to return, he could still continue his normal life. There were a lot of novels waiting for him at home, who wanted to be in this godforsaken place !. Thinking about this place he belatedly realized that although the technology development was far away comparable to his world, it wasn't to the point that he couldn't figure out his way around them. It was somewhat of a consolation for him. If he was to face this not even knowing how to operate his own shower it would be a nightmare!
He just stepped out of the bathroom when a wave of exhaustion swept him almost out of his feet. He couldn't help but temporarily change his mind and lie down on the bed out of desperation. His action could said to be quite timely because he only saw the grey surroundings blur together through his heavy eyelids, before fainting.
