The picturesque rice cakes are delicious today

International students from different worlds * 1

So, the next holiday.

"Alright... alright, I'm through!" I'm not even going away! "

Faye dived into the [Gate] and looked around excitedly.

"Whoa, whoa... I've never seen a wall!" Pure white light lamp! Floor vines! Why is this floorboard so sticky when you're polishing it?! "

I wonder if there's some kind of resin processing.

... a very ordinary western-style house. Just seeing that, Faye was already excited.

Well... it's my first time in another world. This is what a curious man looks like.

“This is a gas stove. Press here to start a fire.”

"Woah! Awesome!"

Press here and the ventilator will turn, so turn this while you're using the gas.

"Hey, what the hell is this!" Why are you going around!? "

"Um, electricity...?"

...... Faye will spend a few days at the teacher's house from today. I have the permission of the doctor, and I have brought in a bed from another world so that Faye can stay in my room (that is, the room with the "gate"). Well, if it's a regular bed, it won't go through a narrow gate, so I'll send it separately for each part and assemble it here.

"The second floor is the teacher's room, so it's off limits." If you want to eat and drink, you can use the stove here to cook, but you can also use the microwave here to warm up. ”

"What the hell is this box!" Awesome! "

“Teach me how to boil a bath? I think it's okay to go back to the other side only during the bath....."

"No! Enjoy our world because it's a corner!" Whether it's a bath or a toilet! "

"I see. Now I have to explain how to use the toilet..."

So, Faye is very excited. I wonder if all of this looks like unknown magic to him.

I...... in the other world, I was pretty quick to get used to the [magic] stuff, so I didn't have that much trouble. If anything, it was a start from a forest where there was almost no civilization.

"No, that's amazing...... Tsk!" For now, tell me how everything works in this house! ”

Well, Faye started out in the city, so I guess that's quite different. More than that, I feel that his own curiosity and the complexity of the tools in this world, no, is due to the simplicity of the magic of the other world.

Then I explained to Faye how to use the appliance.

I use the toilet like this and flush it like this. (It was a little tough because I explained where to go after flushing.)

Some microwaves can warm things up, but they can't. (I've explained 'that kind of magic power' in the explanation of what's called microwaves...)

I don't know what you're gassing me for. What kind of electricity is that? That's what I'm explaining, and I'm working on it. Oh, I don't think what I've been learning in school is in vain. I decided to use that kind of knowledge to explain things to Faye.

"Hee... I was wondering what kind of a world is there without magic, but is it like this...?"

If it's magic, we'll need to make a lot of tools for each purpose in this world.

"I see. How amusing..."

Faye is sitting on the sofa in the living room and taking notes.

... looking at the state of things, there's nothing wrong with it. Ahh, I think there's a teacher-like place called Faye after all. The teacher sat here on the couch and often wrote something in the notepad with a ballpoint pen.

Speaking of which, when I first met Faye, I had the slightest teacher-like feeling.

"...... Faye is a bit like Sensei"

"What? Me?"

After a while, Faye's eyes dazzled. Yeah, yeah. That kind of reaction is a bit like a teacher, too.

"Well, if I'm the one who wrote it, maybe there's something similar about it, but come on..."

If you say that, you'll be the same as Crore.

"... Sheng Jing. I'm much more like Unuki-sensei than Crore-san or Laocles-san!"

Yeah. Right.

It was kind of funny and giggling, but Faye was also laughed at, and for a while we were both laughing.

Well, this is fun, so let's do it.

"Um... well, first of all, let's go to lunch and dinner."

"Ohhh!... ahhh..."

Well, at first, I thought it was lunch, but Faye suddenly started to squeeze.

"... in this world, how can I earn money?" You can't convert money, right? "

Ahh, it's done. I see. That's right...

I have a little pocket money, so I have about the amount for the meal. I took care of this year's new year's old balls before they were taken by my parents. [M] That's why I thought it was okay to let her out of there... but Faye seems to care about it.

"Hmm, but there's a lot of problems selling things like this..."

... but it's hard to make money in this world.

My school is naturally forbidden to work part-time, so I can't work to get money. [M]

I may use pawnshops and free market applications, but I don't really want to sell things from other worlds in this world. I don't have the qualifications for trading in antiquities, and it's pretty difficult around here... uh.

"Excuse me."

Grab your luggage and go to the cafe where the teacher is. When I rang the bell and entered, the master gave me a smile in the cafe where the streets were always lazy.

"Oh, welcome, Mr. Togo."... oh? "

"Well, he's my best friend. Still, I know the teacher."

“Nice to meet you! My name is Faye Brad!”

When Faye greeted her cheerfully, the master looked a little surprised and tilted his neck.

You're an outsider, aren't you? I was surprised because you speak Japanese so well.

"Hahaha. Well, I studied! I don't know how to read and write!"

Faye winked at me as she lied to me. That's right. This is what we agreed to do when we went out.

"Faye-kun is also an acquaintance of Unnan-sensei." That teacher has a big face, too. "

Laughing, the master guided us to our seats. So we looked at each other for a moment... "

"Um, Master. I'd like to talk to you..."

I put tomatoes on the table.

Would you like to buy some vegetables and fruits?

"... oh my goodness?"

"Yes. Um... there are a lot of things..."

Gently pull out the fruits and vegetables from the bag you brought.

A dark, shiny tomato. A vineyard with sparkling grains. I carefully brought peaches in a box so they wouldn't get hurt, and I also brought onions and fresh lettuce.

All of them were harvested in the woods. It's winter in Soleila these days, but when we started trying to grow greenhouses, this vegetable was tested.

However, it is a vegetable that is grown with plenty of grace from the forest. It has also been confirmed that the taste is good.

"Oh my gosh, this is a fine vegetable." And these grapes and peaches... what's wrong? "

"Well, it was picked locally from Faye, but I can't eat it."

"That's why I don't have much trouble with food, but I mean, I'm a little inconvenient with the money... I can't depend on my wallet all the time while I'm staying here."

"That's why, why don't you buy this vegetable for 500 yen!"

Along with my feelings, I'm sorry, but while I'm feeling sorry, I asked the master...

Huh? Is this a total of 500 yen?

Yes!

When asked, the master nodded... and went to the cashier and brought a 5,000 yen bill.... eh.

"You shouldn't sell our stuff too cheaply." The same goes for vegetables, but such fine fruits are very expensive. "

"Oh, no, I can't do this!" I'm trying to say it's impossible and buy it for me... "

I was puzzled, but the master let me hold the 5,000 yen bill in my hand... and then...

"... instead of buying vegetables and fruits, it's not like that."

... yes.

"Um... could you bring back the black cat who came here before...?"

... yes.

Probably so, when I looked at the master who had gone over to the counter, the master greeted me. "Faye and I will follow you..."

"...... Wow"

"Wow..."

"... a gratin. Thought I'd burn it." But it seemed to have accidentally fallen out of the container. If you burn it as it is, it will burn in the oven... "

... there was a fantastic oven there.

Cheng Cheng. This is the demon king's turn...

That's why.

Once we went back to the teacher's house, went to the other world from there, and told the Demon King about the situation, and said, "Mom!" I received a reliable reply and came back holding the demon king.

I was cheering when I saw that the demon king had made the oven so clean that it had become so amazing, and that the demon king who was motivated by the oven, such as the stove and the ventilator, had completely cleaned it.

"Oh! Thank you, thank you!" What we should have is a mysterious customer! "

As the master stroked the demon king with joy, the demon king said, "Mom! 'And proud, and happy. Great. And thank you.

After that, I said, "This is a thank you to your lovely cat! 'So, I bought Doria a feast. I tried to pay for it, but they didn't accept it. 5,000 yen is the price of vegetables and fruits, and it is also the intermediary fee to the demon king.

"Ugh, I'm sorry about that..."

"Yeah..."

As Faye and I were somehow shrinking, the master laughed at us as he brought us the marshmallow cocoa after the meal.

"That's right. If you feel sorry for me, please continue to do so in the future." At the same time, it would be nice if you could tell us the story of Professor Uchin-sensei. "

... yes.

That's right. Let's do it. In the future, for 5,000 yen... no, let's go to this cafe more often.

So, Master, we'll talk about the teacher together. So are the memories... let's try mixing up the stories of the other world. "I'm sure the master will be fine..."
