Arafoo Otoko no Isekai Tsuuhan Seikatsu

After defeating Rich, he was sent somewhere at the transition gate.

It seems to be a one-way street and I can't return to my original location.

The dense forest spread out in front of us.

For now, we need to find a house and see where we are.

If we understand the geography, we have a car and a boat.

We must be able to figure it out.

It's called wishful thinking. ......

We drove straight west through the deep forest and over a large hill.

I'm not going to be able to get to the bottom of it.

We defeated it with Anemone's magic and spent the night in what appeared to be a demon's nest.

We had a big battle, so we had better settle down.

Put out the container house to set up camp.

The beastmen are sluggish, probably because they were running away from the battle.

They're still jumpy with their ears down, so I hug them and nudge them.

Ha, never mind. You're just surprised to see a huge, unseen demon suddenly appear, aren't you?

"...... so, nyah ......" and "not funny ......

It reminds me of a video I saw in the ex-world of a cat running around in amazement, and it makes me laugh a little.

The beastmen seemed to have calmed down, so I stored the white corpse of the cockatrice in the item box.

I've been accumulating more and more demons I've never seen before: .......

I'm sure you can eat this bird, but if you're going to dismantle it, you might as well do it in a place with water.

If you dismantle it here, you won't be able to camp, and the smell of blood could attract other demons to your camp.

Before that, I'd like to see this guy as a mate. ...... There is no sign of that at the moment.

I'm sure you'll be able to find something to do with it as a material, since it's covered in large feathers.

I'm looking forward to returning to Sakura to show everyone.

Kenichi!　Come here! "Sir!

As the beastmen call out to me, I go inside the circle of stones.

The cockatrice seems to have used this place as a nest, but the circle is so precise that it looks like the remains of something.

I climbed up the masonry and looked inside with the beastmen.

Among the many feathers and twigs, there was a large, round object.

It was a white egg about 50 cm long.

"It's huge!

"Big Mew! "Can we eat it?

"Well, it's edible, isn't it?　The inside of an egg is before the body's internal organs are formed, so it's not going to be poisonous.

Maybe it's about to hatch. ......

'Heh.'

"You guys were barking up a storm when I ate that spider egg!

"Because mister!　That's a spider, isn't it? It's a bird.

Insects are not allowed, but birds are - apparently.

You touch the egg with your hand - the shell is uneven but smooth and looks very hard.

'Kenichi!　I want to see it too!

I grab Anemone's hand and pull her up.

'See?'

"Wow!　Big eggs!

"Let's put him in the item box too, or we'll feed him to the ...... cherry pickers.

"Can't eat here?

'Even with this much, it's still a problem to deal with. Like dismantling the cockatrice, it takes a lot of manpower.

You can't take that one without a few people in it, and it's better to be somewhere with water.

The beastmen seem to agree with me.

The inside of the nest stinks, so I'll withdraw the egg when I put it in the item box.

This egg may be fertilized and alive, but it would have died the moment I put it in the item box.

'If the egg was there, then it must be a female.

Maybe you're right.

"But mister. Does that mean the male will show up?

Nyamena is twirling her ears.

If the male was nearby, I'm sure he would run here as soon as he heard the female's cries in battle: ......

I think Kenichi is right, too.

Do you hear any suspicious signs or cries around?

No! As soon as the big one gets close, you'll know.

Now that I've settled in, I'm having a little late lunch.

It's now - maybe around 1:00.

Use instant food.

If you roast meat and make it smell good, you might attract a demon.

The first time I camped out in the forest of this world, I attracted a black wolf by doing grilled meat.

If I may say so myself, the peaceful brain is a scary thing.

You can eat normally even in the depths of the forest, thanks to Kenichi.

As I ate my food, I remembered something.

"Oh, yeah!　When you beat up the skeleton, there was a box.

Take that box out of the item box.

It's a small, black box about the size of a 100-yen Tupperware.

What's in it? You're going to come up with something good, aren't you?

Exciting.

It's not like there's a trap in this little box.

It didn't seem to be locked, so I opened the lid.

Inside, there was a red cloth stretched over it, and inside it was a white coin.

Is it a Nyanda silver coin? What the hell?

The two beastmen look at the coins and look disappointed.

'Wait a minute--hmmm.'

I sent a force to the coin and the round plate began to glow faintly.

'This is a white gold coin,'

Meow!　It's amazing! Then, if you have a dungeon full of skeletons like that, you're a very rich man.

But that skeleton was pretty strong, right?　I think if we fought normally, we'd have a pretty hard time.

"But if you're still going to be a white gold coin, you're going to be inundated with daredevils.

"A deadly gamble is--unimpressive: ......

I'll show Anemone a white gold coin as well.

"Moo!

She, too, begins to glow faintly as she pours her magic power into the coin.

"Shall I reward Myalay and Nyamena?

You're kidding me, mister. We were just running around.

No, that's for the work before that. You got ahead of me in the dungeon and fought with me against Rich, right?

"We were just watching you." "Nya!

For what it's worth, they don't get it.

I put it in their common folder in the item box.

I'm not going to be able to get it for you. I don't spend any of the money I've been receiving from you in the past.

"Nya-ha-ha, we're the richest of the beastmen.

If you have the money, you could build a house.

For a house, the iron house that Kenichi gave me would be enough.

You're right. A normal house is like a toy with these things in it. Even if you are attacked by a demon, you won't get scared.

Apparently, the beastmen don't have much greed.

In fact, their earnings turn into rent, food and drink money.

If you are a man, you buy a woman to splurge on.

That's what the beastmen are.

'I wish I could have brought Bells and the others with me.

You'll be glad you have so many places to look.

Speaking of Belle, Rich said she was the exiled queen of the country.

What's up, Kenichi?

Anemone looks at me.

'No, Rich's guy said your mother was a queen somewhere, right?

"Yes.

I'm not surprised that an ex-human could understand a word - I thought.

I thought that the forest cat was a bit different.

But a former queen, huh - when I think about it, I've done a lot of rude things.

I didn't expect you to be an ex-human.

"I think that bone might have lied to me.

No, I don't think Bell knew him either, so I doubt it.

"How long did Rich live?

I don't know, he said he came over there 500 years ago, and if he was rich before that, it must have been a thousand years ago.

That's what I'm talking about, no life king.

I'm an elf.

Well, maybe the elves who have lived long enough know about Rich and his missing kingdom.

Although that's true - it's not very common for elves to have a long life span of 1000 years .......

After they finish eating, the beastmen are said to be heading out to patrol the perimeter.

Since they didn't show a good deal of promise in the battle, they will probably try to make up for it elsewhere.

I don't mind, though, because they've worked hard enough for me.

I lie on the bed in the container house and read a book with Anemone.

She seems to enjoy being alone with me.

'Mufu~ alone with Kenichi~'

She climbs on top of me.

'What if it's really just the two of us?'

"Yay--Ken'ichi's the only one.

Anemone is hugging me and cupping my shirt.

I can't stand it at all.

Well, it's a lot better than being dark and bleak.

It's evening, so I eat, and then take out another container house a little ways away and sleep with the beastmen.

Tomorrow, I promised Anemone that I'd sleep alone with her, and today I'm going to play with the beastmen.

I'm going to have a lot of fun with the beastmen today.

------◇◇◇◇------

--waking up in the middle of the night, sleeping in the furs of the beastmen.

'Sir!'　We're surrounded! Meow!

"What?　A demon?!

Jump up at the words of the beastmen and jump up and down in a hurry.

As expected, this is not the time to be in a hurry to sleep.

This is the deepest layer of the forest ever seen.

What could be here?

"It's not a sign of a beast. ......

"Is that a person then?

People will know where they are.

We have to make the first contact.

The beastmen are looking out the window.

The moon is rising in the sky, so their eyes will be able to see it well.

...... Isn't this an elf? "We think so too: ......

Elves?

I take my night vision out of the item box and look out the window.

I see white figures in the monochromatic green landscape.

They seem to have long ears, as they say.

'We've seen this before. We're in elven territory again.

It's called déjà vu.

I don't even know who owns this place.

Now - the seemingly exclusive elves.

The feeling of looking at Cetera in Sacra should be accepted if it's not hostile .......

'Let's go outside. ......

"Husband, are you okay?

I don't know, but with the feeling of the elves in my house, it should be fine, right?

Well, hey, ......, that's not exactly what they say about elves in town.

They are said to be exclusive, but when they are recognized as friends, they are incredibly familiar.

You can feel the difference in the distance between humans and them, as they come so close to you.

It comes from their culture where there is no concept of private ownership and everything is common property.

I held the LED light and opened the door and walked out.

I held up the light, raised my hands and shouted, "I'm Kenichi!

'I'm Kenichi!　It's not suspicious!　The elves would know the words, right?

I'm wearing the translation ring the elves gave me.

They must have heard the call, but something flies up and sticks in the dirt at my feet.

'Whoa!'

The arrows - we can't panic here.

You have to show that you are not the enemy.

I'm not the enemy!　You've already interacted with other elves!

"Really?

Out of the darkness came the reply.

The ring that translates words is given to me by an elf. You wouldn't get it unless you were intimate with them, would you?

"You could have killed it and taken it away!

This is the voice of a man.

Not really. There's also the Chetche you guys like.

"......

They are, after all, hungry for outside stimulation.

They were curious about what we were cooking in their village.

I buy a commercial chocolate from Shangri-La - a clear bag full of black and white, squares of chocolate.

It's a bargain at 1,700 yen for one kilogram.

It's a dangerous food to eat when you have such a thing on hand, because you can't help but reach for it.

I tossed it into the darkness of the voice, and after a while, I heard a response.

...... What's this?

It's a pastry made of Chetche. It's sweet and tasty!

"......

An elf came out of the darkness.

He has short blond hair and wears a green China dress-like outfit.

He carries a bow on his back and a sword in his belt at his waist.

His navel is sticking out - probably a young man.

He has lucky eyes and big golden eyes that glisten in the reflection of the LED light.

The character looks like something out of a shoujo manga - but his voice is a man. I think Akira would like .......

'How do I eat?'

The elf holds out a clear bag.

'This is how you eat.

I opened the bag and took the clear wrapper and threw it into my mouth.

"......

You see, it's all good, right?

Then eat me up!

The man took out another piece of chocolate from the bag.

He is wary that it might be poisonous.

He takes the wrapper in the same way and throws it into his mouth.

'It's okay, right?'

"......

He must have been interested in it because I was eating it so well.

He peels off the wrapper of the chocolate with an unfamiliar hand and smells it.

...... smells good, but it's hard.

It's delicious.

"...... Kali

The gesture is a bit girlish and cute, as if she was afraid to take a bite of it.

It's not a good idea to go to a website that has a lot of information.

Isn't it sweet?

"Delicious!　This is Chetche?

"It's refined and sugared, but it's lost its original form. ......

"Huggy!

The elf liked it, so he also peeled off the other chocolate wrappers and threw them into his mouth.

'Nhonhihihiha?'

"What do you mean by that?

"Where did you come from?

"Near Dahlia

It's actually Astrantia, but the dahlia is bigger and more famous.

Dahlia?　Where is it?

"It's a Kingdom, Dahlia of the Kingdom of Kadang: ......

"What?　How did you get to this place?

From what the elves say, isn't this the kingdom?

Ummm, I don't know if you can believe me or not, but I was sent through a transition gate in the dungeon.

"Transition Gate?

It's a secret even to the elves in Sakura, but I can't find any other excuse.

It's better to be honest here.

You don't want to lie and get ripped off later.

"Don't you know?　I'm going to be blown away to a faraway place in the blink of an eye.

"If you're old enough, you know that ......

"You're young?

"Oh.

I guess he's a young elf after all - although he's probably 100 years old or something, but his gestures are a bit childish.

"Wait for me.

The elf disappeared into the darkness, carrying a bag of chocolate.

I have a lot of questions, but there's no point in getting discouraged here.

Building a relationship of trust with them is the first thing to do.

We have to be careful. ......

'Mister, are you alright?' Nyah.

The beastmen are peeking out of the window.

'Yeah, I've got it.'

I glanced at the container house where Anemone was sleeping, but the lights weren't on, so she must still be asleep.

After waiting for a while, a group of elven men with chocolate around their mouths came out of the darkness.

There were about seven of them.

'What's your name?'

In the middle is a man who looks like a leader, with long hair.

He's a real handsome guy with long ears.

I still feel like a fantasy when I see an elf.

They are all wearing the same kind of Chinese dress-like clothing with equipment.

I'm Kenichi. I'm a merchant, for one thing.

Well, it's better than being an aristocrat.

In a place like this?

As I told that man--

I gave the same explanation to the elf again, and we formed a circle and began to discuss something.

'What's that black box?'

The elf pointed to the container house.

'This is our house when we move. It's usually in the item box.

"Item Box?

"Hey, Myalay and Nyamena, get out of the room for a minute.

"Yes,

Two people came out of the container house.

'There's a beastman?　Slaves?

No, it's my family. There's a little one sleeping over there.

At my words, the elf runs to the container house and looks inside.

'There really is a child sleeping in there!

"Mmmm ......

I decided to show the item box to the snarling elves.

'Storage!'

The container house was stowed.

"Oh! It's really an item box, which I haven't seen in a while.

"And what an item box for such a big thing: ......

I'm a merchant with a package in this. Is there anything you want?　I offer you a sign of closeness?

I got sugar and salt out of the item box.

It's a standard part of this kind of deal, and neither is easy to get in this world.

The former elves wanted them too.

It was a monopoly in the kingdom, but is it the same in the empire or republic?

"Oh! "Sugar and salt? "It's true!

"One question, where am I?

"There's no name for the place, but they call it a republic or something, and it's a country. It's that backwater.

Ahhhhh!　I knew it was a republic. ......

I held my head in my mind.

Myalay, Nyamena, it's a republic,

The beastmen don't understand the language of the elves, so I will translate for them.

"Unya~" "Seriously ......

They both closed their ears and hung their tails, and the tension was down.

"More than that!

The elf shouted out.

'What, what?　What's on your mind?

Wasn't this supposed to be a cockatrice nest?

Yeah, we've killed it.

"What?　Even we elves were struggling to cope, and you, a mere man and merchant!

Then I'll show you the proof.

I got the cockatrice corpse out of the item box.

A demon corpse covered in white feathers falls down.

"Oh! "Ho, it's really a cockatrice! "Wow!　Decapitation?

"Gunununu ......

The leader is staring at me with a frustrated look on his face.

'I'll do it if you want, but ......'

"An elf from a free man?

Could I have hurt the pride of the leader-like elf?

No, no, it's just a sign of familiarity, so think of it as a gift. It seems to have high utility value.

Wella, I can use this feather, right?　Can I have it? Yes,

"Ugh. ......

Other elves have gathered underneath the man and are trying to persuade him, but the leader has his arms crossed and a bitter look on his face.

Does it mean that they do not want to easily recognize the power of a mere man?

I'm also in a bind because I don't have the manpower to dismantle them. I just want the meat: ......

So you're giving me components as a reward for dismantling?

Yeah, you're welcome.

The elves began to circle again and began to make a lot of noise.

As they waited, they came to a conclusion.

'Can you come to our village?

Does that mean you've been found not hostile?

Well. And I don't think we'll get away with fighting a demon like this for free.

I don't think so. All elves can do amazing magic, right?

"Yes, that's true, but ......

Another elf emerged from the side of the leader-like elf.

This one has long hair, too, but he's a bit of a leathery elf.

"There was a huge explosion around noon, remember?　Did you do that too?

No, the explosive magic 《Explosion》 was used by a little boy sleeping over there.

"What?　The child?

The leader was surprised at my words.

'You're our grand mage? 　Don't call me a child, I'll be mad at you.

"Ugh. ......

"Kenichi, why don't you show them the other demons? Yeah, mister. These guys are amazing.

The beastmen don't know what the elf is saying, but they must have sensed the right mood.

"Yes,

I put out a hippogriff.

"What's this? "Is it a bird or a horse? "I've never seen a monster like this before!

Apparently, a hippogriff is not a normal demon.

Was it created by Rich as a gatekeeper?

Really, next

The next thing that came out of the item box was a giant dog with three black heads.

'Geez!' ......" and "Wow. ......

The elves are at a loss for words.

"Would you believe that we defeated the demon?

...... Got it. I apologize for being rude. You are first-rate warriors and mages.

I'm glad to hear that you understand.

As I said before, the cockatrice is yours.　Consider it a sign of friendship.

"...... understands. The man who destroys all this stuff is not going to do it poorly.

"Can't I get that magic light?

One of the elves points to my LED light.

'This one is a special magic-powered grimoire that only I can use.

"You're a mage too?

"Well, you know - you could do some healing magic or something.

"Really?

The elven man pulls out a knife and cuts his arm, and blood flows.

I think it's to test my abilities, but it's quite a drastic move.

Well, I think they can use healing magic as well, so I guess they think it's okay if I lied to them.

I grasped the elf's arm with my left hand and placed my right hand on the wound.

'Whew!'

The elf made a funny noise and retracted his hand, but the blood has already stopped.

A faint wound remains, but it will soon close up.

'Oh, it's true!' And fast!

I guess it's so fast that the elves say it's fast.

Ugh. ......

What's up? "Is your face red? "I'm red up to my ears, haha

The healed elf is being teased by his companions, but it's probably due to a side effect of my power.

Oh--maybe that Akira guy is playing with this power on the elves?

They seemed to understand that our abilities were real and that we were not a hostile race.

They led us to the village of the elves with the cockatrice.

It would be safer than camping here.

It is reassuring to have a tribe that is on our side in a completely unknown land.

After stowing away the demons we had brought out, we headed to the container house where Anemone was sleeping.

I feel sorry for her, but I'll wake up the great mage who is sleeping in the dark.

'Kenichi ...... what's up?'

She woke up and hugged me.

She said, "We've made contact with some elves that were nearby. We're going to their village.

"Elf?

She rubs her eyes.

'You can sleep in the summoner until we get to their village.

"It's okay ......

She says so, but she's kind of groggy.

Anyway, let's get out of the car and head to their village.

By the way, is this a republic?

How am I going to get home: .......

I sighed.
