Humans Are The Strongest Race (LN) Volume 1 Chapter 2

After that.

I went outside the ruins, I walk walking through the woods which had grown denser with Ria’s guidance.

「Say. Where exactly are we going?」

If you see this message, this is stolen, so please read at hainemakoru[dot]xyz

「Aruji-sama. I’m afraid to say this」
[TL Note: This was written as ‘主’ but read as ‘aruji’]

If you see this message, this is stolen, so please read at hainemakoru[dot]xyz

Ria had started calling me『Aruji-sama』from a matter a while ago.

It was somewhat nice, the feeling of being embarra.s.sed was there.

「At the moment, my utmost top priority is ought to have you hidden and that’s what I believe is best」

If you see this message, this is stolen, so please read at hainemakoru[dot]xyz

「………Hiding me?」

If you see this message, this is stolen, so please read at hainemakoru[dot]xyz

「Yes. Originally, I was entrusted with the responsibility to explore the ruins from the royal capital. If I were to not head back, the survey corps would have their suspicions and they might find Aruji-sama’s existence」

If you see this message, this is stolen, so please read at hainemakoru[dot]xyz

「Aren’t you overthinking it? There isn’t any evidence to suggest my existence, right?」

If you see this message, this is stolen, so please read at hainemakoru[dot]xyz

「…..That’s natural for Aruji-sama to say that. However, there isn’t anything to not be cautious about. Since there might be a possibility my subordinate Dekus will report that『There was a Human』in the ruins」

If you see this message, this is stolen, so please read at hainemakoru[dot]xyz

「………..」

If you see this message, this is stolen, so please read at hainemakoru[dot]xyz

I see.

So basically being excessively cautious huh.

My strength was certainly seen by that beastman once, it might personally be better to cautiously move.

If you see this message, this is stolen, so please read at hainemakoru[dot]xyz

It would be extremely bad if they were to discover me if I move clumsily about, and it would mean using my strength as a human to use it for terrible things.

「We’ve arrived. It’s here」

If you see this message, this is stolen, so please read at hainemakoru[dot]xyz

Being guided by Ria, we arrived at a small cave near a rocky area by the forest.

If you see this message, this is stolen, so please read at hainemakoru[dot]xyz

「…..Here?」

If you see this message, this is stolen, so please read at hainemakoru[dot]xyz

「This was the hideout my father left me. My father’s life was always aimed for because he was an anthropologist. And because of that, he built hideouts all around the world」

If you see this message, this is stolen, so please read at hainemakoru[dot]xyz

「Wait a minute. Is being an anthropologist that dangerous of an occupation?」

If you see this message, this is stolen, so please read at hainemakoru[dot]xyz

「Yes. It’s all because my father often handled himself with relics many times. There were day and night battles with different organizations just to abuse the power of Human-sama」

If you see this message, this is stolen, so please read at hainemakoru[dot]xyz

「………….」

If you see this message, this is stolen, so please read at hainemakoru[dot]xyz

I didn’t know that.

That the anthropologists of this world, had things like hideouts.

「…….I am sorry. For Aruji-sama to live in such a poorly developed house」

If you see this message, this is stolen, so please read at hainemakoru[dot]xyz

Iya iya.

It’s a nice house.

The me who was living a hikikomori life in an apartment with 6 tatami mats, it was an environment that was like heaven.

If you see this message, this is stolen, so please read at hainemakoru[dot]xyz

The entrance is small, but a quite unexpected large area when you enter inside.

The hideout is rather suitable inside a cave, with bookshelves, and facilities such as food storage were prepared before-hand.

If you see this message, this is stolen, so please read at hainemakoru[dot]xyz

「Aruji-sama, please use this bed for sleeping. I’m afraid that the bedding is poorly-made, but…..I hope it’s good for the time being」

If you see this message, this is stolen, so please read at hainemakoru[dot]xyz

Was what Ria said while introducing me to it, but it was a simple bed wrapped in white sheets.

If you see this message, this is stolen, so please read at hainemakoru[dot]xyz

「I don’t mind it and all but…..where will Ria sleep?」

If you see this message, this is stolen, so please read at hainemakoru[dot]xyz

「I will be standing guard at the entrance of the cave in preparations for an enemy’s attack. I will sleep for 30 minutes a day, since it’s enough for me」

If you see this message, this is stolen, so please read at hainemakoru[dot]xyz

「In a situation like this, isn’t it supposed to be the opposite? Me sleeping on the floor and Ria sleeping on the bed that is」

If you see this message, this is stolen, so please read at hainemakoru[dot]xyz

「I cannot mimic such arrogance! Even if it’s Aruji-sama’s wishes, this much is just……」

If you see this message, this is stolen, so please read at hainemakoru[dot]xyz

I wonder if it was too careless of me.

Judging from Ria’s point of view if she sleeps on the bed, it’s like having a G.o.d sleeping on the floor instead.

If you see this message, this is stolen, so please read at hainemakoru[dot]xyz

「U~n. Then how about both of us sleeping on the bed together?」

If you see this message, this is stolen, so please read at hainemakoru[dot]xyz

Since it’s a big bed, it would be a shame to not use it together.

And if Ria sleeps on the floor of a cave, there’s a possibility she’ll freeze to death if things don’t go well.

If you see this message, this is stolen, so please read at hainemakoru[dot]xyz

「……With Aruji-sama!?」
[TL Note: Not sure if I should go with Master or Aruji-sama… what do you guys think?]

If you see this message, this is stolen, so please read at hainemakoru[dot]xyz

「Aah. Sorry. We can think of another method if you hate it」

If you see this message, this is stolen, so please read at hainemakoru[dot]xyz

Oops. That was quite dangerous.

I wouldn’t be able to recover myself from the shock if I was rejected from here.

I might as well go with the style of keeping my mental state by interrupting myself.
[TL Note: He’s talking about the reply above]

If you see this message, this is stolen, so please read at hainemakoru[dot]xyz

「I, I do not hate such a thing! If Aruji-sama says it’s fine then….. It will be okay!」

If you see this message, this is stolen, so please read at hainemakoru[dot]xyz

Oooooh~……..

Seriously!?

You don’t have to forcefully accept it.

It’s an out if I were to sleep on the floor, but it’s safe if we use the same bed together.

If you see this message, this is stolen, so please read at hainemakoru[dot]xyz

「……..Then…….I hope for your patronage in the future」

If you see this message, this is stolen, so please read at hainemakoru[dot]xyz

Ria says so while her face was flushed.

Y, you know, it’s like when two people are having their first night as newly-weds…..

I became embarra.s.sed after hearing that.

If you see this message, this is stolen, so please read at hainemakoru[dot]xyz

Then for a while――

Ria was strangely composing herself until she began fidgeting around.

～～～～～～～～～～

While cleaning the house along with Ria, daylight pa.s.sed by and it was night already.

It was finally time for dinner after cleaning.

Well, our circ.u.mstances can’t exactly be called luxurious.

If you see this message, this is stolen, so please read at hainemakoru[dot]xyz

I bit through the dried meat that Ria had recommended to me, and decidedly finished our simple dinner.

If you see this message, this is stolen, so please read at hainemakoru[dot]xyz

「Are you not going to have dinner?」

If you see this message, this is stolen, so please read at hainemakoru[dot]xyz

I call out to Ria who was standing guard in front of the entrance of the cave.

If you see this message, this is stolen, so please read at hainemakoru[dot]xyz

「……That was the last remaining food that remained in the food storage. Starting tomorrow, I will look for an opportunity to go hunting, so could I have you wait till then”?」

If you see this message, this is stolen, so please read at hainemakoru[dot]xyz

「……..」

If you see this message, this is stolen, so please read at hainemakoru[dot]xyz

I knew this was going to happen.

Her suddenly saying『to go hunting』even though it’s night, I knew our food circ.u.mstances weren’t well-off.

Of course, letting you do such a dangerous thing is something I can’t let her do.

If you see this message, this is stolen, so please read at hainemakoru[dot]xyz

「I’ll change how I asked of it. Aren’t you going to get hungry if you don’t eat dinner soon?」

If you see this message, this is stolen, so please read at hainemakoru[dot]xyz

「Do not worry about me. I believe even if I do not eat a meal for another three days, I’ll still be okay. And besides, only one remaining piece of meat is left…..For me to eat that piece…..」

If you see this message, this is stolen, so please read at hainemakoru[dot]xyz

「Then, please eat it」

If you see this message, this is stolen, so please read at hainemakoru[dot]xyz

I offered the dried meat that was left.

It was a good thing I didn’t eat it all.

It was maybe that Ria wasn’t eating for my sake.

If you see this message, this is stolen, so please read at hainemakoru[dot]xyz

「I, I cannot receive such a thing! I am although grateful to be given a meal but…..」

If you see this message, this is stolen, so please read at hainemakoru[dot]xyz

「Iya iya. If Ria is hungry, wouldn’t it be trouble if the enemies attack us then?」

If you see this message, this is stolen, so please read at hainemakoru[dot]xyz

After convincing Ria, it seemed as if she was convinced reluctantly.

There, Ria bites through the dried meat in front of her.

If you see this message, this is stolen, so please read at hainemakoru[dot]xyz

Following that――An accident happened.

If you see this message, this is stolen, so please read at hainemakoru[dot]xyz

「Waaaaaan~!」

If you see this message, this is stolen, so please read at hainemakoru[dot]xyz

Ria all of a sudden raised a coquettish voice.

If you see this message, this is stolen, so please read at hainemakoru[dot]xyz

「Oi! Are you alright!?」

If you see this message, this is stolen, so please read at hainemakoru[dot]xyz

But Ria’s body somehow, was illuminating from the darkness of the night.

If you see this message, this is stolen, so please read at hainemakoru[dot]xyz

「Amazing……! This is the Human race….. Aruji-sama’s power……!」
[TL Note: Indirect touching, or rather, saliva]

If you see this message, this is stolen, so please read at hainemakoru[dot]xyz

My concern was unnecessary.

Looking at Ria’s face that was flushed, she wasn’t feeling『painful』but 『feeling comfortable』instead.

If you see this message, this is stolen, so please read at hainemakoru[dot]xyz

「Thank you very much. Thanks to Aruji-sama, my magic power, was able to progress dramatically」

If you see this message, this is stolen, so please read at hainemakoru[dot]xyz

「…….Thanks to me?」

If you see this message, this is stolen, so please read at hainemakoru[dot]xyz

「It may have been the food that Aruji-sama ate had saliva mixed in it. The saliva I’ve received from Aruji-sama is more delicious compared to any meal I’ve ever eaten」

If you see this message, this is stolen, so please read at hainemakoru[dot]xyz

「……..」

If you see this message, this is stolen, so please read at hainemakoru[dot]xyz

I see.

To sum it up, it was because of indirect kissing, that Ria was able to achieve a power-up.

If you see this message, this is stolen, so please read at hainemakoru[dot]xyz

Since she can even power-up with just one strand of hair, the raw saliva of a living Human would be more effective.

If you see this message, this is stolen, so please read at hainemakoru[dot]xyz

「It seems that the hunger has now been settled……! I would no longer require dinner if it comes to this」

If you see this message, this is stolen, so please read at hainemakoru[dot]xyz

Hahaha~…….

I guess the power of the Humans in this world is strong.

Although I could have retorted in many ways, Ria’s hunger has been satisfied so let’s just decide with that.
