Is this guy, seriously a guy?

I didn't have any dreams. It was like I'd blacked out after drinking too much wine. 

Those really were the days.

When I woke up, I had a hangover. Well, at least for the first few minutes. Someone was in the room but I didn't look. Probably one of the maids. 

Birds chirped and the orange light was blinding. Oh wait, they were crows? Crows? Crows!

My system bolted awake. It'd be evening soon. If I didn't get up now, I'd have to stay another night. I wanted to meet Biteria as soon as possible, so I didn't want that.

I sat down, still groggy. 

I needed to put on armor, sort my things but I felt too groggy.

"Are you really the man who stood up to the grand monster?" The maid's voice was rather on the masculine side. Her tone was neutral. It was rare. I'd never heard a maid talk to me without bowing or showing way too much respect. 

"Unfortunately yeah." I looked back. It wasn't a maid. My groggy mind was just playing tricks on me.
