Jujutsushi Wa Yuusha Ni Narenai
Episode 324: The Otherworldly
Shimokawa Junnosuke, a "water magician" who was expelled from the school tower by transfer magic due to the conspiracy of the small birds. The flying point was the ruins of the dry desert.
For the time being, it was time to defeat the Dog Monster and try to dismantle it using only Water Magic to get the food we need today.
"---- Who is it?!"
Shimokawa looked back at the small footsteps stepping on the sand.
It was undoubtedly the [human] who appeared from the aisle to the hall.
Neither a classmate nor a humanoid monster. It is the first person from another world to witness this dungeon.
……
The alien was a girl with brown skin.
A beautiful girl with a deep Japanese face, her hair dyed in bright red and her eyes in clear blue. I see, you look like a person from another world.
However, Shimokawa was not so desperate as to fall in love with an exotic brown beauty.
There was a swinging sword on her waist, and her hand was already on the handle.
Shimokawa, including his best friend Ueda, has seen the master sword user up close due to his vocation. Her quick, yet natural stance was immediately apparent to me that she was more proficient than an amateur solo.
This distance is bad. The next thing you know, you're at a disadvantage.
If the beautiful brown girl was as skilled as the [Swordsman], she could instantly clamp down on each other at a distance so that they could clearly see each other's faces.
A simple white cloak is worn to cover the body, but the sword sheath on the waist is quite luxurious goldsmithing, and it doesn't seem to be a cheap iron sword. It would be good if it was just a matter of appearance, but it could also be a famous sword or a powerful magic sword. Even if her sword were blunt, it would still be enough to kill a poor sorcerer.
Shimokawa can also shoot quickly as a [Water Magician], but at this interval, he had a good chance to intercept. Whether or not it was in time.
No matter what, I want to avoid fighting.
"Water..."
And so it sounded as if she was muttering.
It seemed surprising that there were people there too, and even as she turned to her sharply observed gaze, Shimokawa noticed that her attention seemed to be focused on the traces of a fountain filled with water magic.
"Hey, do you want some water?" Then you can take as much as you want. I'm a [Water Magician]! "
While raising his hands to insist that he had no intention of fighting, Shimokawa prayed that his words would be understood.
I don't know what kind of intent the gesture of raising your hands to the otherworldly is, but at least it will appeal to you that you don't have a weapon. But more than being a magician, it didn't really matter how my hands turned.
When it was a centipede, I used only my magic power to guard against defensive magic.
Are you the [Water Magician]?
Yes, the words are clear!
By clearly communicating, Shimokawa pose in his mind. At this time, no matter how I look at it, I don't mind the discomfort of a girl who looks like a foreigner with brown skin who is not Japanese, and sounds like she is speaking Japanese fluently. No, it might not be so strange if you think it's like blowing a western movie.
At the same time, the beautiful girl's voice was beautiful, and she fell into the sense that the voice actor was atelecoing.
Anyway, I'm fortunate to know the words. At the same time that I was given a vocation, I decided to interpret it as if there was something magical that could understand the words of people from other worlds. I don't care why.
Yes, I'm a [Water Magician].
”Why are you putting that water out here...?”
"Oh, I did it." At first, it was empty. "
"... try to get some water out." But don't be a weird copycat. At this rate, it's faster for me to slay you before the attack magic arrives. "
"I know. Well, I'm not a freak, and I don't want to fight you."
While saying that, Shimokawa understood that there seemed to be magic concepts as normal as people in other worlds.
She is also confident in her sword's arms, and for the time being, she thinks of herself as a [swordsman] like Ueda.
"Look, is this all right?"
"What!? Stop it, idiot!" Don't let the water out like that!! "
I thought you were making me say it, but I decided to stop it because I told you to stop it.
Of course, I didn't pour all the water out. Just like when I filled up the fountain here, I made it at my usual pace.
Apparently, it looks like a real [Water Magician].
That's why I'm saying it.
"Then who the hell are you?" It's strange to think that there's only one [Water Magician] in a place like this. "
I still kept my hand on the handle of the sword and asked with a sharp gaze.
From this suspicion, I guessed that in other worlds, it might not be common to be like an adventurer exploring these ruins.
At the same time, I thought about what it would be like not to be suspicious, but I think I should confess rather than lying poorly. There's nothing to hide from me.
"I got separated from my people in an accident and came to this ruin by myself." I have no idea where this place is or what it is. "
"It's from another country... it's true that his complexion and pale skin tone are different from ours."
Hey, do you know about dungeons and transfer magic?
“Of course, I've never metastasized, but I've dived into a dungeon.”
Okay, I'm relieved that if you know that, you'll understand.
"I was going through the dungeon with my friends, but one of them betrayed me and I was just sent away by transfer magic." Maybe this is a completely different place than the dungeon we were in, and I don't know how to get back... Look at my outfit, it's exactly what I'm wearing, right? I was just transferred to this hall a while ago.
For the time being, I have explained the circumstances in more detail.
Against her, she looked as seductive as ever, but she didn't seem to say she was lying. Believe it or not, you seem to be thinking about it a lot.
"What country are you from?"
Do you know what Japan is?
"No, I've never heard of it. It must be a fairly distant foreign country. Are your people from that country?"
"Yes, we are all Japanese." Oh, no, wait... have you heard the name of Astoria? Singloon is even the name of the city. "
"I've never heard of it."
Apparently, it's a faraway land from where they escaped.
And assuming that the country called Astoria is not a super-extremist minor country that no one knows, but a country of a minimum size, it would be such a level of civilization that it would not be possible to know the names of the countries in the world. In short, rather than the Internet, it seems that it is still an era that has not even been discovered and exploited all over the world.
In the Middle Ages, the word fantasy passed through Shimokawa's mind.
If so, you don't know where we are.
"Oh, oh, yes. I don't even know if this desert is the outside world or if it's still in the dungeon. If you don't mind, please let me know."
“This is the land of Avdran. It's a remnant of an ancient city on the way to the Valley of the End, on the edge of the Western Desert.”
I see, I don't even recognize you.
Of course I didn't know the place names of other worlds. The only two people I knew were Astoria and Sigloon, and since she denied it, I didn't change that it was an unknown land.
Well then, don't you know the names of [Saladina] and [Zeal]?
"Oh, I have no idea."
”I see... you really are a stray [Water Magician] from a faraway foreign country”
"That's what happens." That's why I don't want to be antagonistic to you, but rather I want you to help me-- "
"Do you still have magic power?" Can you pour water out? "
"I've only fought once today, and I haven't drained my magic power at all." I've never tried how much water I can get out before. "
Even if you pour enough water to fill the trail of the fountain, won't the magic power run out?
"Huh? You can afford ten or twenty of these." It's just water coming out. "
When she answered that question, she didn't know what she was convinced of, but the girl finally took her hand off the sword and let go of her steep vigilance.
Then, knee to knee, hands together as if praying slowly.
"Thank the gods of Avdran and the ancestral spirit for their guidance."
As if to pray, or rather, I really started praying.
I suddenly thought, what are you doing, but there are religions that must always be worshipped at a set time, so I was convinced on my own that it would be that kind of thing, and Shimokawa decided to keep quiet and watch without any particular penetration.
Pray carefully, and the prayer time is over. With such a refreshing face, the girl knelt down and stared straight at Shimokawa.
"Please forgive my disrespect and rudeness." Exotic Water Magician, could you help me with that, please? "
”... hah?”
She suddenly changed into an attitude that seemed like she was suddenly dealing with even her immediate guest, and she felt a little uncomfortable.
Where on earth did she get all the courtesy she needed in all her interactions?
"The price I can offer right now is too small." Therefore, I will dedicate my whole body to you. "
"Huh? I'll dedicate it to you. Huh, wait a minute."
"The last member of the Saladina blood family, this Latifa, is a real maiden." I don't mind if you check with me right now. So, please, please, give us a helping hand! "
"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
Is it such a pleasure to have water alone?
Zappahn! Another bastard screams and jumps into the fountain.
”Buhah... I'll come back to life...”
"Oh, the Avdran gods didn't abandon us..."
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
The pool in the hall is as busy as it is in the middle of summer. In the hall that used to be Kara-do, a large crowd of people pushed toward the fountain filled with Shimokawa.
Of course, they are not enjoying leisure during a hot summer vacation, but are stuck in the water through the brink of life or death.
Sandy, dirty clothes and a sticky body. Less than half a day has passed, but for Shimokawa, who has already experienced the scorching heat and intense sunshine, it's hard to imagine their struggle in this desert.
If you're hungry for the heat and thirst of the desert, it's only natural that you should be ecstatic if you have such a cold water field.
"Hey, don't drink the water from the fountain!" Just keep your body clean! "
"Drinking water is over here!" Calm down, there's plenty of water! "
I don't want you to drink the water from the fountain that everyone is jabbing in dirty clothes, even if it's downstream. I properly filled all the empty bowls they had in their possession with water magic since the water ran out for a long time, but those who dried up didn't seem to have that much reason, and most of them were drinking gabbing while taking a shower in the fountain.
I wish I didn't break my belly, but I was worried, watching it like that.
"Look, Master Water Magician, thanks to you, my tribe has been saved"
The first steep gaze came from a beautiful brown girl who looked at her with complete respect, Motome, the head of the Saladina tribe, Latifa.
"Oh, oh, isn't this a big deal at all?"
Rather than being happy and embarrassed, it's hard to wonder how this happened before.
Of course, the history of the incident was properly told by Latifa, but even then, within a day of being deported, I couldn't keep up with this situation.
"I've never seen a better water magician than you."
"Daisuke... it just so happens that my vocation was [Water Magician] so I can do it."
"Oh, I didn't think so, but I didn't think he was really a [Water Magician] with a vocation!" No, but it's the gods who have chosen you to produce so much water. "
Her way of speaking is caught. It is as if there is a [Water Magician] who is a vocation and a [Water Magician] who is not.
It may be a problem to listen to too much common sense, but it's better to be ashamed of what you hear than to be ashamed of what you know. He reveals his identity as a faraway foreigner than he's ever heard of. I want you to take it for granted that you don't know the common sense of the desert.
Um, how much water can an ordinary water magician get out?
"If you're good, you can fill this fountain."
In about an hour?
It's a whole day, consuming all your magic power.
What an incompetent sorcerer. I'll throw a key to his treatment, even in Momokawa.
At such a low level, I felt sorry for being the same water magician.
Could it be that the sorcerer is about that?
"This land of Avdran, as you can see, has many dry deserts. Those who possess the aptitude of water attribute are rare, and it is difficult for powerful surgeons to grow. If you are as obvious as a water magician, then the land of Nihon is very rich in water magic."
Certainly, Japan boasts many water sources and abundant water quantities, but there is no magic power of water attributes.
However, for the time being, it would not be necessary to add from a different world to the setting that we were convinced by the exotic, so we suitably set up a friendly hammer.
Well then, it seems that the water magician who can produce Sawashiyama will be quite valuable.
“Of course, Water Magicians are a valuable resource to protect any tribe in Avdran. Even if we suppress the fertile land, we will never let go of the Water Magician.”
We already know that the name "Avdran" is the biggest bunch of places where they live.
It appears that this Avdran is in a generally dry environment. Although not all of them are in a desert like this, it seems that there are quite a few green spaces, such as thirsty wilderness and rough rocky mountains.
Therefore, Shimokawa realized that water magicians who could definitely obtain water would be traditionally used as a lifeline or as an emergency preparedness.
It was fortunate for Shimokawa that she was able to sell so much just because she was a water magician.
"In the meantime, if you have this many people, I can provide drinking water and domestic water by myself."
“Thank goodness you're not a foreigner, or I would have believed you to be a god.”
"... no, it's a bit like that with the boulders"
Even if it was said in a good way, it would be a complicated mood for the body that has just been framed by the hands of goddess Elision.
Moreover, I don't think that a Hutu like myself can pierce a big lie that "I am the messenger sent by the water god". Momokawa could do it. Anyway, I could use my position to take control of this pathetic tribe.
"But you can't live with just water." Sooner rather than later, we'll have to find a place where 300 people can live in peace. "
Latifa never lied or made a big deal of it until she offered herself to me.
Her tribe, the Saladinas, was destined to perish today.
The Saladina tribe, defeated in the intertribal struggle, lost many of their compatriots. Only this girl, her age, became the only survivor of the elders' clan, and it seemed that they met an unplanned escape with a few remaining companions.
Despite the intense pursuit, Avdran's desert lands were the last to reach them. We don't need to pursue them any further than we are here, and we have no choice but to follow the end of the road.
And the few survivors of the Saladina tribe were supposed to bury their bones in the hot sand.
"As long as we have water, we can do something about it. I got a miracle called you. Saladina will come back to life.”
Expectations are high. Glittering gazes that inspire full-width trust were hard.
What kind of joke is it to meet people who have been expelled before?
But hope lit up enough.
With less than half their classmates, they survived that dungeon survival and even defeated a powerful boss monster called Yamatano Orochi.
There are now three hundred people, even beautiful girls who expect and trust so much that they can believe in God's message.
There's no way I won't get carried away with this.
"I don't think I'll ever see you again... but I'll live." I will survive. "
Three hundred exiled tribes, which were in the abyss of destruction, with them.
