An active hunter in Hokkaido was thrown into another world.
10. I guess this is also a honeymoon
"It's about time!"
"It's about time!
Basha, basha, basha.
"Rudder (left) -!
"Torikaji -!"
Basha, basha, basha.
I've been practicing saran and canoeing in the lake the past few afternoons after hunting.
It's a sturdy one with round-cut round-tails. That's two passengers.
Saran in front and me in the back.
On a boat for fish capture in the lake, the Elves had gained steering and propulsion with a single shaft, but improved it into a paddle (both hands with fins on both ends).
Saran is happy to say it's easy to use. That's powerful......
I'm swinging, too, but it's not for Saran.
It flips easily, so I floated it on one side.
It's stable. I've never been over it.
Besides that, fine modifications everywhere. Sharpen the round-tails thinner and lighter. For that matter, I buy water-resistant paint from my magic bag and paint it with brush, and so on.
And when Saran rows, you get awesome speed......
Get up on the shore of the lake, then pull up.
"Oh, hey, that's a lot better."
"You could just flip it at first."
It's because of me being a jerk. Excuse me. But thanks to the float, it's stable now.
No, really, Saran swims with water, so I'm the only one with a life jacket I bought from a magic bag. Does this also mean hunting goods?
The plan is to go down the river, stop at another elf village along the river called Tokol, and go to a large human city called Surplast. They have a market, a merchant's hall, a guild of hunters, and the merchants are coming from here, too.
I plan to stay there for a while, do some market research, qualify as a hunter if possible, earn some money or cash, and then go back (back) down the river.
Actually, you don't really think about it until you get home, do you?
Well, we'll figure it out.
At night, I snuck in radio communication with Nanotes, the goddess.
Congratulations on your wedding, Mr. Nakajima.
"... how do you know that..."
Yeah, you're monitoring everything, aren't you? Wow, that's a bummer, right? Definitely.
”Seems like you're enjoying the other world more than anything."
"Thank you. Mr. Nanotes, you wanted me to do something for you, didn't you?
”Well, there is. Demon King knockout or something.”
"There's no such thing as a demon king, this world!
What a surprise!
Yeah - -!
"Isn't that what brave men do?
”That's right. That's why we're always looking for brave men in the country."
"Recruitment... Recruitment..."
”Don't worry about it. Even if we say the Demon King will be resurrected, it's still over a hundred years away.”
"Are you okay with that?
”It's okay! The brave men of this world will kill you!"
"... so I can live normally anyway"
”That's right. Well, Mr. Nakajima is a normal person, even though he has cannons. It's not like you're going to be strong by raising your level or anything, and it doesn't matter”
Right... That's fine.
I live quietly with Saran in Elf Village. I don't care.
You don't want to get caught up in anything unnecessary.
"There's no such thing as being made a brave man or being made to help a brave man."
"... please note that rattles will be flagged”
"I do! That's possible!
No, sir.
"... well, I'd appreciate it if you could just say that out of kick..."
I'm relieved.
"Then why did you choose me and bother calling me to another world, Mr. Nanotes?
Do you want to hear it?
"Bye."
”As a matter of fact, if the Demon King is to be resurrected, the brave men of this world will not be victorious, and the goddess will summon the brave men from another world.”
"Ha."
”But isn't it going to be a lot of trouble without precedent? I've never done this before."
"I guess so."
”When it comes to summoning braves, it's normal to give them a special ability called cheats, or summon someone who has cheats from the beginning, but if you do too much, they mess with the world, and it's hard to help. In many other worlds, that's why we failed.”
"Ha."
”So is it a bit of that rehearsal in Nakajima or is it called a case study..."
"Hmm... I mean, I'm with guinea pig number one"
Yikes.
”Saran's cute, isn't she? You're happy to have a good daughter-in-law”
"Yeah."
"... you get angry when you're so slightly affirmed”
So you want to get in my mood? [M]
"We were planning it, weren't we? Is this what you planned to do? You didn't bother to drop me near the Elf Village, did you, to some extent, expecting this?
”Mr. Elf is so kind, whether he hates contention or not, that all of a sudden I thought he was the least likely species to be stripped and killed.”
"I'm coming to the world like that..."
Thank you, Elves, for taking care of my life and my work and even my wife. No, thank you very much. I can only thank you. Thank you for the best choice, Mr. Nanotes......
Next time, we're going to a human city called Surplast.
”Ah."
"What city?
”Right. If you ask me, it's a city with promises and everything."
"It's hard to understand!
Is that an explanation, Mr. Nanotes?
”Well look forward to it. I'm always watching."
"Instead I got anxious"
”Good luck then -! Communication's over!"
Wow... that's unilateral...
The next day.
Ha. I've loaded my stuff, and I've stored everything I might need in my magic bag, and I'm ready to go!
I'm a hunter with a camouflage top and bottom and a skin chock. [M]
Saran also prepared a lot of things. I bought it from a magic bag.
I didn't know the American size so I bought a T-shirt first to make sure it was worn. That saran is LL size and perfect, but has a lot of waist.
... American Size Don't be afraid.
You were fixing it when Saran re-sewed and tied the strings himself.
They're all here to drop me off.
"I asked you!
The village chief shakes hands tightly.
"What! I'm telling you, I'm just gonna go collect some information!
"Still!
I wonder what it is already.
"I believe it will be good for our elves."
"That, no doubt, is something you can expect"
"Please, you are the first human friend and family that our elves have gained."
...... Jn......
"Saran, too, please. I need you to protect Singh."
"Let it be."
"Then it's time for me to leave"
"You're coming back safe!
And so we rowed out.
Yeah, it's a big lake.
Whether you row or not, you see everyone.
It won't last between......
Canoe trip. It's going well.
After entering the river, leave it to the stream to loosen up.
Is the river 15 to 20 meters wide?
It carries you naturally without rowing. That's enough for Saran to change direction a little so he doesn't stop too close to the riverbank occasionally. There is no turbulence or rapidity.
Because the merchant comes and goes by boat.
Looking in the direction on the compass, that's the south direction as a whole.
You don't have the equivalent of GPS, do you? It's pointless to have it, though, because it's not satellite flying and there's no map.
But while I write more or less terrain on the paper I paste on the clipboard, it flushes. I wish I could make it a map later.
"I think you'll see the Elf Village on the banks of the river one of these days."
"Really?"
"He said he was talking about a merchant for half a day, but it's not a river dolphin, so it could take about a day"
"Well, wild boarding somewhere, I guess"
"Yeah, that's right."
Forest... Valley... Forest...
Less difference between high and low. The flow is gentle wherever you go.
You feel good.
It's your honeymoon.
"What's that?
"You're not where I was. When we get married, we're both going on a trip."
"Heh."
"Honeymoon."
"It is. Why are you traveling?
"You just got married, it's loud around you, isn't it? So may we be alone so that no one can disturb us, so."
"Haha! That's good. We haven't had a peek every night since then!
You've been snooping around for a long time!?
I curtained you, and I know you took care of a lot of things.
We've seen all that and all that!?
I'm so sorry, I've had a lot of nasty things!?
I guess it was originally a period of time when no one interrupted me to have a child.
Honeymoon babies are so wordy.
But can't you have kids between me and Saran? You know Saran and a hundred of them, don't you? Still, you're glad you married me.
Before it got dark, we were going to find a big middle state and camp there.
If you're in Central State, you can avoid wildlife or something to some extent.
Collect driftwood, burn trees, grab a simple dinner, take a bath in the water,
This evening, Saran is more aggressive than usual because no one has seen him.
There might be a lot of wildlife watching us.
You might be peeking, saying that humans mate too, or that you've never seen them before?
We're animals, too. Probably in nature, now I'm hanging out with you...
Elf village tomorrow. Tocol.
