Isekai Ryouridou 002

"Now then. What are you supposed to be?”

She points the s.h.i.+ning machete to the tip of my nose.

This guy is quite a sharp sword.

The length of the blade is about 80 cm, while the width is around 10 cm. It’s so thick that it looks like a hatchet. It also looks like to be sharpened very carefully to the tip. If it’s this sword, it would be possible to cut any meat, and even the bones of a prey.

I am impressed by this guy.

“Wha, what is it? Dangerously greeting me with that so suddenly! I had already apologized for the pitfall!”

“Noisy. Answer the question quickly”

The girl was calm. That calmness is actually scary. While uttering a sigh, i compared the girl’s face and the blade tip.

“Before that, where on earth is this? Somehow, the atmosphere of this place is unknown to me…”

“This place is foot of Morga mountain, Morihen.”

(TL: モルガの山 : Morga mountain, 森辺 : morihen)

“....Morga mountain?"

“This is the western territory of Selva kingdom. It’s a land governed by local lord Jenos. Where did you come from?”

Somehow, i don’t understand at all.

But the best answer would be an honest answer here.

“I was born in a country named j.a.pan. Chiba prefecture at j.a.pan. Do you know it?”

“j.a.pan….Chiba….?”

Of course she wouldn’t know. Maybe this is a world where the country “j.a.pan” didn’t exist.

The wild boar in the world i know didn’t grow horns on their head.

The girls in the world I know do not carry a big machete like this around.

And the girl’s appearance, i have never seen anyone with her traits before.

The color of the skin is brown. It’s brown like chocolate.

Nevertheless, her hair color is dull gold.

And even her eyes is deep blue.

Although the brownish gold hair seemed to be long, it was tied in a strange form using a leather strap, the blue eyes s.h.i.+ne strongly in the darkness.

Her features, is beautiful.

Eyes that looks like a wildcat’s, thin and proportional nose, pink-colored small lips, soft-like cheek…..If you look at her features, she looks young. Actually, maybe her actual age may not be that different from my age.

Well, she is quite a beauty.

To the level of Bishoujo*. (TL note: I just leave it like this)

Personally, i feel attracted to her because her brown skin and pink lips make her incredibly s.e.xy.

But, what’s with that appearance.

A dark brown thick fur mantle from her shoulder, her chest and hips are wrapped by a cloth with beautiful shade to her back. A complex patterned fabric that is hard to be woven. Though it covers her well, the clothes’ stimulus is still quite strong.

Additionally, she wears a necklace which has many white fangs that looks like had been chosen carefully, she also wears a bracelet with nuts, at her waist, it can be seen a belt where the leather sheath for the knife is placed, and also that smooth brown skin is revealed generously.

Then, she wears something like a leather belt at her ankle. It may be a footwear.

However, even though she is very attractive because of her revealing clothes, My chest’s was feeling weird “Somehow, that appearance has a very destructive force…”

Although her features is pretty, her facial face is very ferocious.

Her pupil is blazing up like a real wild cat, and her lips is tightly pulled.

She is slender and tall for a girl, but her frame looks delicate.

But she doesn’t have a weak impression at all.

Bare arms and foot, shoulder and stomach tight like a leather whip, not even a bit of wasteful meat can be found on her body, white scars that shows harsh life are carved here and there.

It’s impossible for modern people affected by advanced science technology to become like that, she gives an impression that she has a very powerful strength.

“Even so…”

This smell...what on earth is it?

From the moment i was confronted by her, i was caught by a strange doubt.

Somehow, it’s an extremely complex scent.

The smell of a fruit that is too ripe, a sweet smell.

The smell of a budding flower, a secret smell.

The smell of herbs being dried, a calm and refres.h.i.+ng smell.

The smell of a rather strong spice, a slightly violent smell.

And, the smell of an animal meat and fat that smells intense.

These smells got entangled complicatedly and stimulating my nasal cavity a little while ago.

Though i am not boasting, because i had been forced to work as an apprentice cook from childhood, i had a sense of smell better than that of a normal person.

Either way, because the smell stimulates my appet.i.te greatly...My body has responded with expectations and rumbled “guu”.

The machete that the girl wields, trembled a little.

“What. What is your intention?"

“No, well my intention is….i am just hungry.”

In addition, my stomach let out “Gyuururu” sound

This is not cool.

The well-shaped eyebrows of the girl are lifted in a quite serious feeling.

“Oi, don’t kid with me. Are you making a fool out of me?”

“I am not kidding. This is a natural physiological phenomenon right? Because you let out a delicious like smell, my stomach just reacted. “

“What do you mean? I don’t have any food, and because of you i don’t get any prey”

“Ah, that's why i already apologized for ruining your pitfall trap…”

After i said that, my stomach let out “Gyubowa!” sound

My stomach...you’re too exaggerating. (TL: what heck is wrong with this guy’s stomach)

Ah, this is bad. Her face is twitching more and more in a serious way, and her shoulder also begins to tremble with purupuru.

No way, don’t tell me i am gonna die because of such foolish reason.

“For the time being, i am not planning on making you angry. I am also troubled too, thrown out to a place i don’t even know, if you have a complain, i will immediately go…”

“Gyuguruguruguru!” (TL: seriously what the heck)

Oh no...this is bad.

Just when i apologized seriously and sincerely, my stomach sound ruins it all.

And suddenly, the girl turns away.

While threatening me with her sword, and holding her mouth with her left hand.

Her shoulder trembling got intensified.

“...What’s wrong?”

“Gugyururu?”

The sword suddenly fell to the ground.

Suddenly the girl’s face becomes red.

“Oi. How bad is your body condition?”
“Gugyuru? Gugyurugyuru?” (TL: lol i cant even…)

“Pu…” a weird voice leaks from her.
The girl’s eyes look at me while slightly teary.

“That's...enough...don’t talk anymore.”

Somehow her voice is feeble.

I become more and more worried.

“No….Even though I said don’t speak“

“Gyuru. Gugyurugugyurugyurugyuru”

The girl, while holding down the sword like a cane, squats down immediately.

and then “Puhahahahaha!” begins to laugh.

Ah, this girl becomes prettier when she laughs.

No, wait. So that was just holding back a laugh.

Then after having a good laugh for some time, the girl points her machete to me again...while wiping her tears.

Then, she said one word.

“....Kill”

“WHY!”

I immediately stand up in a hurry and walk backwards.

But, the pitfall behind me is still opening it’s mouth like it’s waiting for me to fall again.

And the sharp point of the sword gradually approaches me.

“This is the first time i disgraced myself like this. …..i will absolutely kill you”

I can still see her crimson face, even when it’s already nighttime.

Shame? Is this the true value of tsundere? No, probably different!

Everything is good, but i don’t want to be killed by this kind of thing.

Finally I arrived at the edge of the hole, i took a hold up posture.

“If my rude stomach has hurt your pride, i will apologize! This is all empty stomach’s fault! Now that i thought about it, I haven't eaten anything since noon!

“.....”

“I am really in trouble here! What kind of place is this, Why did I come here, I don’t understand anything! I don’t even know this place’s common senses and rules, I don’t know how should I live after this! If I am killed by you after this, Why did I…..”

Why on earth did I bet my life and dived into the sea of flames?

When I think about it, my throat instantly clogged, and I can’t talk anymore

Because I have no choice, I stared right at the girl’s eyes.

The girl, with her deep blue eyes, stared at me like I am a mysterious creature.”

“.....The things that you said, i don’t understand”

She slightly lowers her machete.

“Aren’t you a resident of the Capital of Stone?”

(TL: 石の都 : this literally translates as capital of stone. Iss.h.i.+ no Miyako.“

“Capital of Stone? I already said it earlier, my home country is j.a.pan”

“....I don’t know any country with that name. Anyway you are not a people of the west kingdom right?”

She said so, and finally lowered her sword.

But her suspicion on me hasn’t disappeared.

But...beyond her penetrating eyes, a complex feeling appeared.

“....I will hear what you say for a bit”

The girl said that in a low voice.

“Come to my home. If you don’t, I will kill and bury you right here.”

“Is it okay to invite a stranger like me to your house?”

“It’s almost night time. There is no time to talk you again here. ...If you don’t prepare fire when you are still in the woods at night, you will die”

She picks the leather sheath that falls to the ground, and sheaths the big machete there. I tried to stand up while looking at her dignified appearance.

“Okay. I will believe what you said...Come to think of it, we still haven’t introduced ourselves. I am called Tsurumi Asuta”

“Touru...myaasuta?”

“No. It’s Tsurumi Asuta”

“Churumyasuta….”

Well, isn’t she cute.

When she try to said it with a serious face, she is also cute.

“Un. If it’s too difficult, you can call me Asuta, what is your name?”

“....Ai Fa”

She turn her back to me and said that in a small voice.

As expected her back is slender, but she isn’t taller than me. Her height is around 167,8 cm at most.

Although she has an average height and slender, why can she handle that stupidly big sword with one hand. Her bone and muscle density may be different than the race I know.

When I carefreely think about it. She gave me a piercing sidelong glance.

“What are you doing? Your foot hurts right. Here use my shoulder”

“Eh. is it alright?”

“Time is valuable. Hurry up and grab it”

As expected i feel intimidated, so i turn my right hand to Ai Fa’s right shoulder. She instantly hit my solar plexus.

“Who told you to wrap your arm around me, I said grab my shoulder”

“Ugue…..ah, so that’s what you mean.”

I grab Ai Fa’s right shoulder while rubbing my stomach pit.

Though my injury is not bad, this will help me walk faster.

Either way, since she is wearing a thick cloak, my hand only feels a stiff feeling

“The thing that is hidden at your chest, is it a sword?”

“Eh?”

I am frozen with shock.

When i was turning my arm, my chest hit her cloak a bit. How does she know it when she wears that thick cloak?

“Do you understand now? I don’t want to harm you so don’t worry about it.”

“Why do i have to worry? If you want to cut me then cut me now.”

To me who was standing behind diagonally, while showing a very cold back, Ai Fa make a remark.

“When that happens, My sword can cut your throat faster than your sword can cut me. If you think it’s a lie, you can try it anytime….Asuta”
