It Seems I Came to Another World, Now What Should I Do Chapter 7

…

TN: Since DSGOBS haven’t updated for over 2 months, I decided to pick this up. Feel free to comment any mistakes and suggestions.

Second day in another world.

I wondered if I could get up properly, but I woke up at 7 o’clock without any alarm.

The minute I was burning firewood to a bonfire, I thought I was oversleeping, but it was just a bad habit of mine. No, because I hear that you become an early riser when you get old, I have been a little afraid of that. Well, I did not lack sleep, and I fell asleep at around 20 o’clock so it was a natural result.

For the time being, I went to wash my face to keep myself awake. By the way, I did not notice it, but there was the hotel’s toothbrush at the corner of the luggage, thank G.o.d.

「For this morning, I’ll have yam.」

I cut about 20cm of the yam which I dug up hard yesterday, and roll it on the stone which I put on the fire. The beard burns out and disappears, the skin loses moisture, and it has been scorched faintly. Afterwards, I surround it with hot stones, heating up the core with residual heat.

「Oh. It’s sweet and refres.h.i.+ng. It’s nice, chewy, and comfortable.」

When the delicious breakfast was finished, I came back to reality. Ah, I wonder what’s going on at the company. Was I being treated as missing person? I wonder if it is possible to return after going back to j.a.pan.

「Maa, it can’t be helped that I think about it, even though it might not come true. My priority should be to survive for now.」

I felt like I was starting to fall, and I looked at the mayhem that continued from last night.

「I was on a rampage all night and I’m fine…」

A rough breath echoes from the bottom of h.e.l.l[1]. The legs in the trap were shredded, and the surroundings are a disaster.

「Maa, it was a trap I set the day before yesterday, so I’ll check it today. Until then, I’ll be killing some time.」

There are yams for food as well, and I have confirmed that there are growing vegetables that can be eaten around the pond yesterday. Thinking that I will not be okay with just a cutter, I will devote myself to weapon-making today.

「It is impossible to make weapons without materials, I wonder if it’s safe to make stone tools.」

There is no reason for obsidian to be lying around, so I make stone tools using ordinary stones. I picked up a large stone of reasonable shape on the riverbed, and tied it to the wooden handle and made it a stone axe.

「It’s close to 10kg and it looks like a hammer, doesn’t it?」

After that, I found a pointed stone and then made it into a spear, tying it to a wooden handle.

「Indeed, I wonder if this kind of thing was used for hunting mammoths in the past. Then bake meat like those in mangas afterwards using this.」

So while I was doing this, I started preparing for lunch.

I heard a sorrowful cry from the direction where the wild boar had been caught.

「Is it the appearance of an intelligent creature[2]? I’m going to see how it goes.」

Just in case, I head to the site with the axe and the spear. Sure enough, I can see a figure around the wild boar.

「Are? Isn’t that a woman?」

Blue eyes and gold hair. Trousers on a tunica-ish[3] coat. Waist belt to a bustier-like leather armor. Behind the belt, a hatchet-like object is placed in the sheath, and several knives are placed in the pocket of the left chest.

She throws a small bow and quiver on the ground and stands against a wild boar with one hand axe.

「It’s a girl, indeed. What’s with the bow……ah. A small bow like that can’t penetrate the boar’s skin. 」

In the distance, it seems to be a girl of about 15, 6 years old[4].
She actively attacks, aiming at the head and neck, but she seem to be pushed by back by its tusks.

「Oi oi, its tusks will definitely penetrate that leather armor.」

Because of the tension and fear, her face becomes blue and her movements began to stiff.

「I can’t really overlook a girl getting hurt in front of me.」

Though being an overweight guy, it is impossible for me to say that I have confidence fighting an opponent nearly twice the size of the little girl.

「It would be nice if the effect of 『Hidden Body (隠身)』 could be demonstrated even a little….
G.o.d, please.」

Because of the tension, I approach the site while hiding in the gra.s.s, holding in my hand, sweating, the rope which the weapon was attached to. When I was about 5m away from the site, the girl’s axe was caught in the tusks and is lifted up.

「Ah!?」

The girl stops for a while, with a look of despair and embarra.s.sment.
As the wild boar taps its fangs down on its forefoot, it lowers its face.

「I was careless at my feet[5]!」

Using the 5m distance as a running start, I drove the axe in to the joint on the Boar’s right leg. Along with the crus.h.i.+ng feel of the stone, the broken feel of the Boar’s joint was transmitted to my hand.

The girl continues to look here with a dazed look.

「Take distance! Don’t mind if you fall down! 」

Screaming at the girl, I took out the spear. The forefoot was crushed, while rubbing its head on the ground, I took that as a chance and tried to stab at the tusks.

「Taste my overweight body!」

As the Boar looks up, I aimed at the right eye, and thrust the spear thoroughly. I feel the spear going through the soft eyeball and penetrate the thick skull.

I pulled out the spear as it is and took a step back.

Next, I rotate the spear so that it pierces the remaining left eye. I feel the tip crumbling and the handle was blocked by the skull.

The Boar roars its final moments as if it was the apocalypse.

「I did it……」

I, an overweight guy, took down the Boar with stone spear, though the endorphin and adrenalin delayed the fear that would come soon after[6].

She reported the acquisition of skill 『Acquisition』 calmly.
From that kind of thing, I want to get drunk with the accomplishment I achieved now.
That was what I thought, but I noticed the girl behind me and calmed down.

「Er…….are you okay?」

I threw away the weapon I had now, and lifted up my arms before the girl. Though the weapon was broken, it could indicate that I might still use it to attack her.

Then, her blank look changed into a glowing, red face.

「Do you understand my words?」

It was unwise to think that the j.a.panese could be understood now. The current situation is
only a composition where barbarians who speak unknown words have attacked using old generation weapons.

「Yes. I understand.」

「Ah? You speak j.a.panese?」

「”j.a.panese”? What is “j.a.panese”?」

「Huh?」

「Eh?」

『Intelligence (識者)』-sensei is amazing. How cool.

「First of all, I’m glad you’re safe 一 for the time being.」

「Yes. Thank you. I was saved, dannasama[8].」

N? I definitely heard a word that can’t be overlooked.

「Dannasama?」

「Yes. The warrior who throws all arms and raises his hands unprotected. It is an act that is transmitted to my village, and it is a meaning of wooing done between men and women, a marriage proposal. I, there is also the favor of you saving my life. I will accept it.」

「Eh?」

Wait a minute. I, a 20-year old overweight guy, just saved a girl, and proposed. Seriously, that can’t be true.

「By all means, please come to the village. We welcome you.」

Retreat, is it impossible?

Are, isn’t strange?
