Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka?
Inside the Elf ③
It was a tree house that was like a big dining room that was guided.
"This is the dining room, as you can see. Basic morning, day and night, three meals. We're all eating here."
Yeah, and look around the dining room.
Kind of reminds me of the woodland school I went to when I was in middle school.
Behind the dining room, in the kitchen section, a boy and a girl, supposedly four former students, were cooking.
The hand stops when it sees us.
"Kudo, who?
A boy with a surprising voice.
Well, me and Katya are armed, and if all of a sudden a stranger shows up, don't be alarmed.
It's Junsu Yamada.
"Oshima Yeats"
So say your name quickly.
That should get you through.
"Huh!? To Jun, Ye Tao!?
To the boy's voice, the other three turn their gaze to us.
Especially for Katia.
"Hey, maybe I'm the only one with a different gender?
"Right. No one here has changed their gender."
Katya stunned by Kudo's words.
Well, you know, what?
Come on.
"Dude. It's been super long!
The first boy I spoke to approached me as I picked up the hat he was wearing.
The figure has changed, but I feel a sense of readiness in that smile.
"Is that Ogi?
"Oops. You got it."
"You're the only one with such a hot, painful smile"
Laugh lightly at each other.
Kenichi Ogiwara (Ogiwaraken Ichi).
A friend of mine from the football club.
By the way, there's a reason why I call you Ogi with my last name, not the name below, because I wear the way I call you Kengo Natsume, the previous life of Hugo.
"But Oggi is the cook? You need more strength out there. It's more sexual."
"Ah. That."
Oggi, who belonged to the football club, had good motor nerves.
I thought it would be better for farming outside.
"The first one was changing the person in charge at Rotate, and then I fixed the person in charge because I knew I wasn't good at it. Ogi, you were clever at everything, but you had a small number of people turn to cooking duty."
"No, I've never cooked in this world before, but I'm surprised by my talent."
Ogi distracts his chest with a doya face.
There, don't get on with it, Kudo's penetration goes in.
"In fact, it's a lot of hard work to cook for this number of people, so it's good for you, Ogi, who's got the strength."
"The taste stops there, though."
Light yet humble ogi.
Having work to do, Oggi went back to the kitchen.
We sat down again and exchanged information with each other.
That Hugo will attack from us.
The background.
And there's something about the world.
Kudo taught me about my life here.
There are fourteen reincarnates here.
When I used to ask my teacher, there are two more because there were twelve of them.
They also gave me the names of all of them.
Life here seems to be a self-sufficient life, as Kudo said earlier.
Eat the vegetables and livestock we raise ourselves, and get the elves something they can't really procure.
We also have to be as convenient for ourselves as we can with our daily necessities, and they say that all that the elves give us is really something we can't help ourselves with.
"We made our own desks and chairs."
Kudo accidentally looked at the chair he was sitting in.
It's a simple chair made of chopped wood.
Kudo also told us how we started living in the elves.
Kudo said he was brought in here at a very young age where he still couldn't even speak much language.
At that time, his parents said he let go of Mr. Kudo, crying.
Kudo said he must have been bought for gold.
"Because my birth house seemed so poor. I didn't tell you, but I understood the conversation. They sold it for a lot more money than they would normally sell in slavery."
Kudo laughs bitterly at himself.
Everyone else seems to be alike or close by, but some of them just tried to live as adventurers and were brought here to be almost abducted.
Mostly at a young age.
At a very young age, which is almost no different from a baby, they just baked the elves to look after them, too.
When one person was able to work afterwards, he was allowed to take care of fields, livestock, etc. with the aid of an elf, and when he grew up, the aid of an elf was no longer available.
They said it was just hard in the beginning.
In young bodies, both field work and livestock are heavily labored.
That was all I had every day.
It's only recently that I've been able to afford it, he said.
My body grew to be no different from adults, and I gained some know-how, making my work more efficient.
That, he said, created just a little room.
"It's a question of what we do in that free time."
"What do you mean?
"It's like the elves don't want us to get the skills. Surveillance and this life."
The reincarnators here aren't very skilled, partly because they were the best at living.
Except for two.
Looks like the two people who were brought here later lived as adventurers.
It is said that the elves may have delayed their capture thanks to the fact that they were rolling all over the place.
Those two used to be adventurers, highly skilled.
"We have a choice. The path to stealing an elf's eyes and building his skills. Way to spend your time in this birdcage, as always."
Either way, I still need time to think.
But Hugo may attack soon.
Kudo held his head to the information.
Then we had a meal with all the reincarnates.
Talk bounced off to a long reunion.
We talked in celebrating an alternate reunion in the dining room for almost a day.
But there was no Kyoya in it.
